A few days ago now, Vanessa and I were praying and I felt driven to say to God, "Thank you for creative ideas". I felt inspired to say this but didn't really know why. Afterwards, Vanessa asked what that was all about, and I said I don't know!
I remember, that late last year the Holy Spirit was teaching me to speak things with His authority. Basically, God has to speak something first! The best we can do is repeat after Him. If we speak after Him, that's when our words have power. That's when they have heavenly significance.
"You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And light will shine on your ways."
Job 22:28
This is what Job's friends told him, and it was true--for the most part. There comes a time when God gives the righteous--that was Job!--freedom. There is a time when we can enjoy such freedom in the ways that we serve God. God wants to bring us into freedom where we can serve alongside Him, dream with Him, and create with Him.
There comes a time when "all these things will be given" to us, as well (Matthew 6:33). There comes a time when we will decree a thing, God will back it, and it will be birthed into reality. There comes a breakthrough when God takes over our minds, hearts, and imaginations, and makes them pure.
We need to understand that the Holy Spirit makes the word flesh. He makes the word of God, and the inspirations of God, manifest into something that can dwell among us. (John 1:14) In our lives, we should see the Word come alive and make a tangible impact on whatever is around us. God had a wonderful idea named Jesus, and He has made us in His own image. Thanks to His idea, we can enjoy the the many ideas that were originally only His.
And His purity can make us pure. God has purified our desires, and He has created us with the intention that we break free from our sinful nature. He made us with imaginations; He made us with creativity; He made us with ideas! He wants to purify us and give us His righteousness, because He wants to see our dreams become reality.
God wants us to declare and decree His promises. Start with the Word. Speak the truth into existence--there is the power of life in our speech (Proverbs 18:21)!
The spiritual comes before the physical, so stay grounded in the Word. But aren't there also personal promises God give us? Don't you think He wants to bless the work of your hands? Don't you think that He wants to give you success in whatever you do (Genesis 39:23)? This is the truth, but not many people seem to make it to that point.
Anyways, if there is a promise God has given you--an acting career, a certain type of ministry, a successful published book, etc.--pray into it. Pray into it, speak into it, act into it. Speak His Kingdom come. There is power when our words agree with God in Heaven. There is power when God gives us an idea from Him. Don't you know that God cannot fail? There is such security in doing the things that He tells you. These things won't fail! If He tells you something, decree it? Decree it, and the Holy Spirit will breath it into existence.
God is the most creative One out there. And we can be included into Him! We can have His righteousness, and after we have it, we can have His creative ides. Let's be bold in our declarations and in the things we say--let's be bold and forcefully advance the Kingdom (Matthew 11:12). Let's access God's version of reality by speaking supernatural life and not death.
Since praying that prayer a few days ago, so many 'creative ideas' have been coming at Vanessa and I. It wasn't that my words had much power, but I spoke into what God was saying, and in doing so, aligned with the power that is only His. Glory to God! He gives us freedom, even to have what we say come to pass. Be heavily led, be in tune and in step with the Spirit, and watch as you receive whatever you ask for in prayer (John 14:13)
