We're currently having a 2 week break, to refresh, replenish and refocus on God's heart for us individually and also as a whole for the Creative Worship evenings. Where's God leading us? What direction does God want us to take Creative Worship?
I often get a lot of random thoughts about Creative Worship, Creativity and Spirituality. So this blog will be full of some very random insights. Too out there and unrefined to put on the website. But hopefully they will be useful, nevertheless!
Here's the first insight...
Creativity and Faith
I had a dream early this morning. I was wheeling a giant plastic box up the Commenara Parkway in amongst the cars and trucks. (A dangerous endeavour!) I was taking it up to the church for an artwork I was going to create. I was talking to God, but sort of preaching to myself (or maybe it was God preaching to me?) anyway, I was talking about how some people, they create works and then they have the faith to believe in them coming true.
But for me, just sitting down and working on my art works and creations is an act of faith.
While I'm creating, that's when I'm believing.
Once I've created it, I don't look at it so much anymore. But for me the act of faith is while I'm creating. That's when I'm believing and calling forth what isn't yet into being. (That's when I'm being prophetic!)
But I think the dream was showing me, there's even faith in the preparation. In collecting what you need to create what you desire. While it's still in your head, and your heart, what you're thinking about or desiring to create and make.
And then when you act on just a thought or a suggestion, or an idea. That's really a huge act of faith.
Bet you never thought of it that way, hey?
