    Thanks for this timely word, Bill. I’m a public middle school teacher in Florida. The spiritual war we are fighting is epitomized in our public schools. It’s exhausting. I am praying that the Holy Spirit will infuse me with His creativity in this dark hour. Please continue to pray for our teachers and students. Blessings!

    Creativity, authenticity, reliability: power forces of God. Creating, writing, painting, sewing, drawing, writing songs, etc., works thru which the Holy Spirit flows more greatly thru His Spirit, glorified God & bless others. Singing & joy helps us remember & hold onto our faith longer and and stronger. Good. First artist in Bible was anointed by Holy Spirit to work in metal, paint, cloth, etc.

  • @creation1702490
    @creation1702490 3 года назад +3

    Creativity = freedom and Freedom is very attractive to an oppressed and terrified heart. The testimony of the creation and beauty around us painted and created by our artistic God is proof of His existence to a hungery spirit. The lie and counterfeit the "anti" of God's testimony of Creation is evolution

    Wow. Speechless. I'm going to do my best to pass some notes from this sermon to my son in jail. I imagine even at age 10 he might have made the cut for creative genius and he was a believer. It seems that God is "rescuing" him and I can't wait to give him some of the fire that I myself feel from these words. God bless you, Bill Johnson and everyone you have quoted here as well. I pray for all of us to end the race well. Always bothers me that Solomon had so much and yet turned to idols at the end of his life. My sons name is Solomon Zoe. If you read this, please pray for him as he exits jail with no place to live, no drivers license, no job, many broken connections. From living under a bridge, addicted, to jail and this would be a likely place to return to. Good news is he has 5 months of being clean, trying to find his way spiritually. Trusting God for some needed miracles and for divine encounters. Thank you.

    I had previously heard a message from Dr. Jim Richards about how highly creative children are when tested under the age of 3 and how their creativity drops when tested after the age of 5. What changed? He askes and then tells us: they started school. Let's keep these treasures of creativity God has hidden in us, remain a little child, trusting the Lord. 🙏😇

    I wouldn't usually consider myself a creative, but shortly after watching this sermon I was reading Psalm 4 and I felt carried along by God to write a short story based on it. That's never happened before, but I'm keen to experience more of the creativity God has placed in me. Thank you God for releasing your spirit on me in this way!

    I'm being left to die and have screamed to the mountain tops for help, and I can't even get in a healing room or in front of an anointed person for healing.
    I'm holding on to Jesus, my life matters. Glory to be God that someone reads this, that someone, anyone will help. I am in physical torment and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I love you Jesus, please guide my path.

    Unfortunately, education has been removing creativity in schools for awhile now. It's a constant battle to come up with ideas on odd topics and still cover enough memorization and regurgitation to satisfy job requirements. Regurgitation does nothing for the child, but is the way of education. I fight it daily.

      @ledahoffman4036 3 года назад +1

      In Bill's paperback book entitled Hope in Any Crisis, page107 he gives us a list of four weapons the Lords has given us for spiritual warfare. 1. the blood of Jesus, (Communion), 2.the Word of God, 3. The name of Jesus, 4. Praise. Bill says "these are the four basic weapons that we believers use in our lives to defeat and overcome the assults the enemy brings against us. None of them are focused on the devil, All of them are focused on the provision of the Lord and person of the Lord, Jesus Christ." One of my favorite books and this section is titled, Communion Means War. I won't quote the whole section here but I would highly recommend this book.

What can I do? We see all of these people of God with ministry and then we look within and don't think we see to much the battle of self worth is fierce and by his grace we still stand and are free to think and create Thank you for this word this morning absolutely touched my heart and my spirit and has given me some renewed strength to believe that God isn't done with any of us and his plan will be done 🙏 bless you all and the best is yet to come.
