I'll admit the bible did take imagination.

I define the imagination as one's ability to dream or to think outside of their real environment ie. their surroundings, current relationships and events that have happened to them.
I think that imagination is related to your curiosity. The more curious you are, the more you tend to imagine things like 'what's on the other side of the hedge?', 'I wonder what that man standing at the crossing had for breakfast?' Thus you stimulate your imagination to think of answers.
To expand your imagination, I think you just generally need to do more in life. Read more (lack of pictures force you to think), travel more, go outside, see people, sit in a cafe and just people watch etc etc. Preferably do things that you don't do in your everyday life. The new stimuli should re-ignite your ability to imagine.

Allow your self to see new points of view.Like go to a church totally unlike what you think church should be.Visit a homeless shelter,a jail,prison,nursing home,a collage campus.Interact at these places but hold your tong really try to hear what the people and places are trying to say then isolate your self go camping alone in a remote place let others know wear you are going and for how long. keep a recorder with you or pen and paper log the important or touching things then at the end of the day or each event a summary of your experiences the facts cold and hard but true how you felt how you perceived what others thought and felt. I could go on and on but to summarize Free your mind from the reality your accustomed to

Read the Bible which is the undeniable Word of God.
It is the inexhaustible Wisdom of an infinite Mind. Over 40 authors written over hundreds of years and yet only ONE THEME and an infinite number of lessons. Your mind will deepen and expand.

Travel, see more of the world and meet new kinds of people and cultures.
Research and read materials of fiction genres (fantasy, sci-fi, thriller, horror etc) and create stories in these genres yourself.
If you have no objections against it, smoke some pot or hasj (that works well for me;)
good luck.

Practice, practice, practice. The imagination is like a muscle, the more you exercise it, the stronger it becomes.

Daydream some everyday. When you daydream you are actually thinking, focused on something, and you usually feel good afterwards. For some reason most people feel that daydreaming is bad for you, it isn't.
