An anointed creativity is required for power in your life as an artist, author, graphic designer, musician, or any form of creative expression. It also applies to people called as craftsmen and craftswomen. Just like being born again is required for a new life in the Messiah, the power of the Holy Spirit is necessary for the creative anointing.
So, how does anointed creativity apply to my work?
It helped me a great deal since 1974—when I met Jesus. For you, that’s between you and the Lord. This page is the home page for my writings, articles, and whatever about what the Lord provides for creatives—people called to produce creative content in various forms. It makes no difference if you determined you were an artist, author, graphic designer, musician, or whatever. What matters is did the Lord create you for that purpose, and has He called you to use it in your life and ministry?
An anointed creativity is required for power as you create
Power to do what? That’s not my problem. The most common place I’d heard it in my work was in comments starting with, “How did you know…?”
How do you add creativity to your writing?
Beauty drives a believer’s creativity
Power in the Kingdom is not what people expect. Our power in the Spirit is for service. It’s the same power as is mentioned in Hebrews four. This power is alive, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Of course, that’s one of the basic attributes of the power of the Holy Spirit. He anoints us to minister, to serve people—like Jesus said, “I am among you as He who serves.” The best service we can provide is helping people come to know Jesus and make Him Lord over them. It’s the power to change lives. After you come to know the Lord for a long time, you will realize the basic truth. You can’t talk anyone into changing their mind about anything. You can’t bring anyone to salvation. You can’t fill them with the Holy Spirit.
Only the Lord Jesus can do that, by the power of His Spirit. All we can do is share what we’ve witnessed. The Holy Spirit can use that and convert it to a powerful message that will deeply touch your reader, viewer, and/or listener—to the point where that individual’s life is changed forever.
That’s the power I’m talking about.
Mountains and islands gotta go
Mountains and islands gotta go —for real. Scripture is clear that the mountains will be laid low, the valleys will be filled and the islands of the sea will disappear. This is a major remodeling of the planet…coming to a time near you (probably within the decade). “For the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth shake. The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is split through, the earth is shaken violently. The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard, and it totters like a shack, and its transgression is heavy upon it, … Continue reading →
The initial assumption is that scripture is literal
The initial assumption is that scripture is literal —I’ve known the Lord for a little over fifty years. But I agree with this basic position more every year. Every year I find more places where scripture is meant to be taken literally. That applies from Genesis through Revelation. This is not a place to argue specifics. What we want to encourage you to do is make it one of your prime tools to study scripture. “Is this passage literal?” Always assume that scripture is literal Let the Lord tell you specifically when it’s not. It all begins with asking the … Continue reading →
No nation will survive
No nation will survive the times which are upon us. Even Israel must be radically changed. I know: you had no idea. I’m not surprised. If you take the challenge, you need to come to grips with the progression upward from catholic to protestant to evangelical to pentecostal to believers. Believers is where we are now. I do not care about denominations at all. What you need to face is that each step added some powerful doctrines to the general beliefs of the Bride of Jesus. Protestants: brought back the walk of faith Evangelicals: brought back the requirement to be … Continue reading →
The evil will be purged
The evil will be purged coming soon to a planet near you. The Creator has been patient waiting for us to repent. There is still a little time, but it’s running out. Isaiah warned us, about 2700 years ago, in chapter 24: “Behold, the Lord will lay waste the earth and make it desolate, and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants. The earth shall be utterly laid waste and utterly despoiled; for the Lord has spoken this word.” The evil will be purged… “The earth mourns and withers, the world languishes and withers; the heavens languish together … Continue reading →
New Styles for ePUBs in InDesign
New Styles for ePUBs in InDesign —this is one of the wonderful things I discovered while I was researching and testing for the revised procedures for making excellent ePUBs in my new book, Niche Publishing for Believers Using InDesign. I was just going edit/proof my old Book Publishing book. It’s twelve years old or a little more. But as I got into it, I ended up with a massive revision. I have learned so much in the past decade—I had no idea how much. But one of the biggies for me was how you can use paragraph Borders & Shading … Continue reading →
