Creativity…… January 14, 2009

this is something God has been working with me about. He’s been pounding a doctrine of creativity into me for years(I don’t listen very well). He said that all creativity has 3 basic layers to them, like an egg: 1. a core message 2. a truth journey 3. a body of creative metaphors to express the journey that brings them into agreement with the message.
He said that as Christians our message is to be lined up with the message that proceeds from His mouth in heaven. The truth journey is to be lined up with the principles of the word. He said that if those things were done correctly than the 3rd level of metaphors could be any sort of language…..a geeky language, military history language, musician language, in church or out of church language and it would lead them to himself. Language in this sense is how each arena of the culture seems to develop its own words and language that must be understood in order to communicate with that arena quickly. Just get around a bunch of geeks talking about computers and you’ll know what I am talking about.
The problem comes, he said, when individuals try to [u]establish[/u] themselves instead of letting the Lord establish themselves, and they adopt another message, a popular message, in order to try to gain ground in the arena they are in…….which gets them into trouble because agreement is agreement is agreement. That’s the King Saul thing………We are supposed to be like Joseph instead…….not just successful, but successful according to the desire of heaven…….which means being willing to follow the Lord from the good position and career in to the prison if necessary………..why? Because it is the fastest way to the throne of pharaoh that bypasses all of the enemy’s occultic traps……
If my whole life is to express the message proceeding from the mouth of God in heaven…..is it really…..? That doesn’t mean that it is necessarily religious……or uses religious words or dress………but it has to be His Message and His Truth………not just what everybody else is doing and saying……
It’s sort of the same with worship………what you use and do and say depends on what He is saying……..it is all appropriate at times……and inappropriate at times……..depending on what the Lord is doing and would have us do on earth in agreement with Him………
