Ex.31:^2-3 “See, I have called by name Bezalel, son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom and skill, in understanding and intelligence, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship” (AMP)

Today, we will be looking at three creative tools: the Word of God, the mind, and the tongue.

#1. The Word of God is the first and foremost creative tool ever. It is our most powerful tool. Heb.11:³ “By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.” (NRSV, emphasis added). What is the Word of God for that area you want to create? You need to begin with the Word of God. Ps.33:^6&9 “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of his mouth…. For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.” (NRSV, emphasis added).

#2. The Mind. Your mind is the second creative tool. God has given His Word; we have heard it and the enemy has also heard it. The enemy is not going to see down and fold his hands. But we have to be on the offensive, we have to be on the front foot. Your mind has to be engaged, sharp, and positive. A depressed mind cannot be creative. Expect satan to try to discourage and send you into the dark tunnel of depression. Remember, a depressed mind cannot be creative. Your mind will be creative in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Neh.4:⁶ “So we rebuilt the wall, and all the wall was joined together to half its height; for the people had a mind to work.” (NRSV, emphasis added). You must have a mind to work. You must set your mind to work. If you want to rebuild, if you want to create or recreate, you must have a mind to work. God will give you a mind this second half of the year and beyond. God will give you a mind committed to work.

#3. The Tongue: Your tongue is the third creative tool, and this is huge. Prov. 13:²¹ “The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.” The tongue brings can bring death or life, so what is your tongue set to bring? Life, in Jesus Name [say Amen]. The safest thing is to always speak what the Word of God says, then you know you cannot go wrong. Always speak what the Word of God says and create things with your mind. You create things with your tongue. I can tell you stories and stories of situations where we call things out from nothing

In this second half of the year by God’s grace, there is going to be a release of diverse kinds of gifts and abilities in the Mighty Name of Jesus. And the gifts and abilities that have been dormant, God will stir them up in the Name of Jesus. Some of us have all the gifts we need, but the gifts are just idle, dormant. Ex.31:^2-3 “Look, I have specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts” (Creativity). Now speak concerning yourself; The Sovereign Lord has specifically chosen me and filled me with the Spirit of God, giving me great wisdom, ability, expertise in all kinds of creativity in the Name of Jesus. Say it that again and so shall it be.

Prayer: Father, I thank You for choosing me, filling me with Your Holy Spirit, and equipping me with the tools I need to create for Your glory, in Jesus Name. Amen!
