You Are Creative: A Door to Fulfillment

This sounds so good! I clicked on the link to get more information and it didn’t work! Please help! I want to continue reading and hearing what God is trying to say to me!
Thank you so very much.

Yes I believe God wants us to be ourselves and express who we are by being true to what He placed within you. Just its not easy to express yourself and be true to your own if you do not ve resources to allow you to express. I also do believe that it can identify callings and passions and dreams which is pinpoints to who you are and you need to be able to follow it to be all you can be. I for instance always had excitement stirring when i would see a landrover defender cause it made me think…someday we will ve one just like that and go into africa and evangelise and bring medical help…but it never happen because i never had the resources and encouragement to buy one and receive medical trianing and got a team together to go evangelise africa….still when i see a 4×4 bakkie with stickers all over it, i will get excited cause i still can see us driving in convoy doing compaign to help and do a project as a team somewhere…reaching out…agh i have so many dreams and interests and hopes and hearts desires! But no resources or support teams to help. Tent revivals….worship….fashion sewing, radio ministries, campaigns and projects and singing in band and church planting and travel overseas even just a nice real holiday as the ones you see on tv and magazines….etc ect etc….one cant express oneself without money as one has to always settle for that you can afford and be content. But still i do believe in miracles and that God knows and there will always be hope.

Hi Doug, thanks again for your inspiring words. I love creating! Like Denise, I feel I am filled with so much creativity inside, I don’t know how or where to let it all out! I have recently discovered that I am an artist (at 61) and am having so much fun using melted wax (encaustics) and mixed media as well as tempered glass mosaics. I ask Holy Spirit to anoint my hands and eyes and to be released in creating each art work and I am amazed at what pours forth from my hands! Many of my encaustic works are of galaxies, nebula, constellations etc. “The Heavens declare His Glory”! I am believing for God to take me to the heavens in dreams and visions so I can paint what I see.
Blessings,
Kim

My creativity is learning to appropriate all God has for me in spirit, soul, and body, and being used for His glory! For unless you have harmony then it is difficult if not impossible to flow in the gifts and callings of God.

Hello Doug Thank you for always encouraging us and giving us more ways at looking at our lives. It really helps me and propels me to stay in this race. God Bless

Doug
Thanks for your encouragement all I want is to be all god wants me to be I am so desprate for more of him I feel like all I want is to be with him and help him get his full inheritance for the sacrifice he made for all of us but I find myself feeling steel waiting and waiting I am not sure for what but waiting

Creativity is an expression of the life within us. I have an unending supply of life available to me. That said, my destiny hinges on accepting my identity. My struggle is that I lack the vocabulary and the ability to express what I am experiencing. The impact is much like the Saul to Paul experience at Damascus. I am blind and must rely on a man of Grace for a short season until I begin to see again.

Hi Doug – Thank you for this post. I, too, teach people about creativity. This New Year I have been reflecting on my own creativity. I realize I am quite content with blogging, writing, posting, – thoughts and photography. I have an obsession with taking photos of God’s beauty in creation. I want people to learn to notice and experience God’s goodness through my writing and photos. I take thousands of pictures every year. I keep praying for a way I can share them in a way people will want to use them and even buy them. We all have so many photos – how can I do something different? Meanwhile, I love sharing through my blogs and Facebook. But I keep thinking I should be doing more. What avenue could I take? Should I take a job again on a newspaper? Or just wait and watch what He is doing? I think the latter. Thanks for all you do to inspire me!!!!

This is encouraging, I am an older student at Cuesta here in SLO getting my AA in studio art still wondering why and what about income and the very difficult marriage I have. But I’ll just keep going forward thank you being faithful

Doug, that was a great post (as usual! ). I have worked in Human Resources almost all of my career and I find most people get so working they stop creating! They do not take the time that is needed daily to just sit quietly and let God talk to you about what’s next in life or how to solve a problem. But in HR what I see more is the shear boredom in working because we do not take time to communicate with the Father who created everything!
Great posts and always looking forward to hear and see what God is speaking through you!
Blessings friend!

Thank you soo much. I am one that dreams dreams, most have been prophetic and to the letter of what will happen and some symbolism. Dreamed last night that I was looking at myself in the mirror. I continued to look and smile. My smile (teeth) were very bright and perfectly straight. The longer I looked the more I realized their brilliance. When I awoke I went to my bathroom mirror and smiled. I went to bed praying for content for the One Woman Show I need to create, it’s been a lifelong desire as I am an actor/singer. My question to the Father, “Lord what am I to convey to bring you Glory and fullfill my calling/destiny. I will continue to read your blogs with the anticipation of finding my answer. With Love in the Lord Jesus Christ, Rebecca M.

A person needs more information. More info in more concise form. I think ALL of us are looking for that destiny right now and it doesn’t even seem as though the Lord is going along with the prophecies that many prophets speak. We need to personally see Him act and hear from Him. Thanks for your help and ministry. I do have trouble getting on your webcast every month though. Didn’t see it yet. When will it be up?

Thanks Doug! I have spent alot of time pondering the very question of…….. Who am I and what am I here to do? Through the years I have ministered, traveled, been around Gods generals so to speak, to really feel that I have not really tapped into my potential. I have friends laugh at me and and find it interesting that no matter what happens, I am so desperate for more. I read blogs like this and get excited to think I will now get another part to my destiny and answers to my constant searching. I know God doesn`t hide on us just to exasperate His children, but I do have to say it has been frustrating at times. One friend of mine just said….. It is just how God made you. I used to get frustrated with you, but God just keeps you wanting more. Well, that is true, but not really a fulfilling answer. I still feel greatness locked up and am one that needs breakthrough so bad I can hardly stand it. When I see some one really living out their passion, I love it for them and wish I knew how to get there myself. You and Lance Wallnau speak to the masses about this, and it is great, but Wow, I need more. It is like all of me needs to be unlocked! Thanks for what you do. I will get there! Blessings!
