00:00:05.03\00:00:30.09
Are you creative?
00:00:30.63\00:00:31.96
When we think of someone
being creative we usually
00:00:31.99\00:00:34.10
associate them with
painters or sculpters, composers
00:00:34.13\00:00:38.10
of a musical masterpiece.
The production of an artistic
00:00:38.13\00:00:41.44
work. A common misconception
is to consider those who aren't
00:00:41.47\00:00:45.47
in the art industry
as uncreative people.
00:00:45.51\00:00:49.14
Well, Genesis 1:27 says "So
God created mankind in His own
00:00:49.18\00:00:54.85
image, in the image
of God He created them,
00:00:54.88\00:00:57.59
male and female,
He created them."
00:00:57.62\00:00:59.89
We are literally
sculpted in the image of the
00:00:59.92\00:01:02.66
great creator God.
00:01:02.69\00:01:04.03
That means God instilled
creativity into you and me.
00:01:04.06\00:01:08.33
Being creative involves the
imagination and originality.
00:01:08.36\00:01:14.27
Take your career for instance.
Whether you are a teacher,
00:01:14.30\00:01:17.97
financier, social worker, you
name it, whatever your job is
00:01:18.01\00:01:22.68
God has given you the
gift of creativity to use in
00:01:22.71\00:01:25.71
that field for Him, for
His glory. Whatever form that
00:01:25.75\00:01:30.25
creativity takes, you can
use it to tell others about
00:01:30.29\00:01:34.49
your creator God.
00:01:34.52\00:01:35.86
For the beauty of the earth,
for the glory of the skies,
00:01:35.89\00:01:47.24
for the love which from our
birth, over and around us lies.
00:01:47.27\00:01:56.38
Christ our Lord to you we
raise this our hymn of grateful
00:01:56.41\00:02:09.76
praise. Dear God,
Right now I ask that you show
00:02:09.79\00:02:15.13
each and every one of us
our gifts God. Show us creative
00:02:15.16\00:02:19.70
opportunities that we can
use for you and that we can
00:02:19.73\00:02:23.71
draw ourselves closer to
you. I ask that you be with us
00:02:23.74\00:02:27.61
at our jobs, at our
homes, wherever we are,
00:02:27.64\00:02:30.55
show us opportunities God
to just be lights for you.
00:02:30.58\00:02:34.45
Show is your grace
and your love every day.
00:02:34.48\00:02:38.52
I ask that you be with those who
can't attend church right now
00:02:38.55\00:02:42.19
for whatever reason that is.
00:02:42.22\00:02:44.33
Whether it is laws in the land
prohibiting it or if there's
00:02:44.36\00:02:48.40
sickness they can't attend.
Any reason that's keeping them
00:02:48.43\00:02:51.73
from your house God. I
ask them the creativity to
00:02:51.77\00:02:56.24
open their minds and hearts
in ways that they could still
00:02:56.27\00:02:59.21
worship you
regardless of their situation.
00:02:59.24\00:03:01.94
I ask that you be in
each and every one of us,
00:03:01.98\00:03:05.31
I ask that you send the Holy
Spirit to fill us regardless
00:03:05.35\00:03:08.85
of where we are, regardless
of situation or social status.
00:03:08.88\00:03:12.22
God, I ask that you give
us creativity for these times
00:03:12.25\00:03:16.69
God, I ask that you ease the
situations you find ourselves in
00:03:16.73\00:03:20.90
and I ask that you just fill
us with your love and your grace
00:03:20.93\00:03:24.40
every day God. Show us where
to go, show us how to use this
00:03:24.43\00:03:28.74
creativity. We ask that
you be glorified in whatever
00:03:28.77\00:03:33.21
we decide to do God, use
us in whatever situation.
00:03:33.24\00:03:37.31
I ask this all
in your name. Amen!
00:03:37.35\00:03:41.58
Creator God, no one
compares to you in creativity.
00:03:45.35\00:03:49.12
God, your ways are astounding
and you lack no imagination
00:03:49.16\00:03:53.40
in everything you do from
the way you preformed miracles
00:03:53.43\00:03:56.80
in your Word through Jesus to
the ways you work in our lives
00:03:56.83\00:04:00.24
today. God, you are the
master- mind and I thank you
00:04:00.27\00:04:03.47
that as your children,
we have the mind of Christ
00:04:03.51\00:04:06.04
So I am asking that you
will bring to our minds ideas,
00:04:06.07\00:04:10.81
thoughts, solutions, inventions,
and cures that we will use
00:04:10.85\00:04:15.78
to bring honor and glory to
you, making your name famous
00:04:15.82\00:04:20.02
that all men
will be drawn to you.
00:04:20.06\00:04:21.89
May we your children lead the
way in our field of expertise
00:04:21.92\00:04:26.63
please bless the work of
our hands and minds to reflect
00:04:26.66\00:04:31.03
your inventivness and inginuity.
00:04:31.07\00:04:33.20
Thank you Father for
every good and perfect gift
00:04:33.23\00:04:36.64
and for being my amazing Father.
00:04:36.67\00:04:39.57
For the wonder of each hour
of the day and of the night,
00:04:39.61\00:04:51.22
hill and vale and tree
and flower, sun and moon
00:04:51.25\00:04:57.73
and stars of light.
Christ our Lord to you we raise
00:04:57.76\00:05:05.23
this our hymn
of grateful praise.
00:05:05.27\00:05:12.91
Most gracious
loving Father in heaven,
00:05:12.94\00:05:18.25
We find ourselves in a
new phase of end times.
00:05:18.28\00:05:21.68
Not the end of time but
the little time of trouble
00:05:21.72\00:05:24.55
that proceeds it.
00:05:24.59\00:05:25.92
You have provided many new and
creative ways to reach the world
00:05:25.95\00:05:29.52
with the undiluted Three Angels
Messages through the ministry
00:05:29.56\00:05:33.53
of 3ABN. We now have
world- wide television, radio,
00:05:33.56\00:05:38.03
internet, mySDAtv box,
and ROKU also on television.
00:05:38.07\00:05:44.01
But there are many who may
not have access to any of these
00:05:44.04\00:05:47.38
methods Father and we
need to reach them also.
00:05:47.41\00:05:50.35
So I ask please, would you
give us the knowledge, wisdom,
00:05:50.38\00:05:54.62
the courage and opportunity
and new ways to seek them out
00:05:54.65\00:05:58.65
and share Jesus with them.
00:05:58.69\00:06:00.59
Father, these things I ask
in the precious and holy name
00:06:00.62\00:06:03.63
of my Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen!
00:06:03.66\00:06:06.66
Thank you loving Father
for creating us in your image.
00:06:06.70\00:06:13.70
Thank you for giving
us the gift of creativity.
00:06:13.74\00:06:17.14
Oh, teach us not to neglect
this gift but to be skilled
00:06:17.17\00:06:21.84
in what we do in
all areas of our lives.
00:06:21.88\00:06:25.18
Remind us to seek your
guidance, for creative ways
00:06:25.21\00:06:29.48
to accomplish your
purposes in and through us.
00:06:29.52\00:06:33.52
We ask this in the name of Jesus
and we give you all the glory.
00:06:33.56\00:06:39.23
Oh Lord of us all, thank you for
making each of us in your image.
00:06:39.26\00:06:47.17
Let your creative powers surge
through us today and every day
00:06:47.20\00:06:52.21
help us to find ways to respond
to life's challenges with a
00:06:52.24\00:06:56.85
holy ease. Even in the midst
of the Corono Virus help us
00:06:56.88\00:07:01.48
to be creative in protecting
ourselves and our families.
00:07:01.52\00:07:06.12
God, I ask that your
light will shine in each of us,
00:07:06.15\00:07:09.99
infuse us with Godly
nature so we may be skillful and
00:07:10.03\00:07:16.23
glorify you before our heavenly
Father. Please work in us to
00:07:16.26\00:07:21.17
equip us with everything needed
to acomplish more than all we
00:07:21.20\00:07:26.04
can ever imagine.
Magnificent creator, let us be
00:07:26.07\00:07:30.98
creative vessels for your
good work. Keep our minds open.
00:07:31.01\00:07:35.88
In Jesus name we pray, Amen!
00:07:35.92\00:07:38.72
Dear Lord, You are
the creator of all.
00:07:38.75\00:07:44.99
You know all the thoughts and
ideas that swirl around in my
00:07:45.03\00:07:49.90
head, unfortunately, most
of my ideas do not conform
00:07:49.93\00:07:54.60
to your standards
Lord. Help me to fill my mind
00:07:54.64\00:07:58.47
with thoughts and
ideas directly from you Lord.
00:07:58.51\00:08:01.14
Give me the creativity to spread
your word into all the world
00:08:01.18\00:08:06.85
give the creativity to direct
the hearts and minds around me
00:08:06.88\00:08:12.65
to you Lord. And as always
Lord, I thank you and praise you
00:08:12.69\00:08:17.26
for all that
you do for me. Amen!
00:08:17.29\00:08:19.96
For the joy of human love,
brother, sister, parent, child,
00:08:20.00\00:08:32.47
freinds on earth and freinds
above, for all gentle thoughts
00:08:32.51\00:08:38.98
and mild. Christ our
Lord to you we raise,
00:08:39.01\00:08:44.32
this our hymn
of grateful praise.
00:08:44.35\00:08:51.23
For yourself best gift devine,
to the world so freely given.
00:08:51.26\00:09:01.04
Agent of God's grand design,
peace on earth and joy of
00:09:01.07\00:09:08.64
heaven. Christ our Lord to we we
raise, this our hymn of grateful
00:09:08.68\00:09:22.16
praise. 1Corinthians 2:9
reminds us that no eye has seen
00:09:22.19\00:09:28.96
or ear has heard and no
mind has imagined what God
00:09:29.00\00:09:32.53
has prepared for
those who love Him.
00:09:32.57\00:09:36.07
Creator God, since you alone
knows what our future holds
00:09:36.10\00:09:40.84
please help us create what's
next. Lord, please give us
00:09:40.88\00:09:46.51
ideas that eyes haven't
seen, ears haven't heard,
00:09:46.55\00:09:50.09
and no mind has imagined.
The very root of creativity
00:09:50.12\00:09:54.06
lies in you Lord. You
know where the gaps are,
00:09:54.09\00:09:57.79
Please plant ideas in the
hearts and minds of your people
00:09:57.83\00:10:03.33
to invent and to create, to
imagine that which is according
00:10:03.37\00:10:08.04
to your plan and your purpose.
00:10:08.07\00:10:09.87
Lord, we live and we long
to be vessels for your glory
00:10:09.90\00:10:15.94
so do the impossible
through us, your children.
00:10:15.98\00:10:20.02
I pray Lord for each of us
to give us divine inspiration
00:10:20.05\00:10:25.82
and instruction to
carry out your plans in God.
00:10:25.85\00:10:31.46
And Lord, I want to create
ideas that are so ingenious
00:10:31.49\00:10:35.86
that once it's accomplished
the only person that could
00:10:35.90\00:10:44.11
ever get credit is
you. In Jesus name...
00:10:44.14\00:10:51.41
2Corinthians 12:9 says. Each
time He said "My grace is all
00:10:51.45\00:10:56.69
you need." My power
works best in weakness.
00:10:56.72\00:11:00.26
So now I am glad to
boast about my weaknesses
00:11:00.29\00:11:05.69
so that the power of
Christ can work through me.
00:11:05.73\00:11:08.36
Lord, I ask that you will
use my weakness to elevate me
00:11:08.40\00:11:13.74
to bring more glory to
your name. And when people look
00:11:13.77\00:11:17.54
down on me, when they doubt
our ideas. When the question
00:11:17.57\00:11:22.74
Your call on our lives. Help
us God, not to join in their
00:11:22.78\00:11:31.32
discouragement but may we
stand up and be encouraged
00:11:31.35\00:11:35.62
to be confident in our
weaknesses because we know it's
00:11:35.66\00:11:40.80
your power and your
strength, your everlasting grace
00:11:40.83\00:11:44.47
that works best in
us when we are weak.
00:11:44.50\00:11:48.40
Lord, what a plan you
have. Ephesians 3:20 reminds us:
00:11:48.44\00:11:57.61
"Now to him who is able to
do immeasurably more than all we
00:11:57.65\00:12:02.02
ask or imagine, according to His
power that is at work with us.
00:12:02.05\00:12:06.22
Mmm! God, please work through
me and equip me with everything
00:12:06.25\00:12:13.29
I need to accomplish
immeasurably more than all
00:12:13.33\00:12:16.56
I could ask or imagine. Take
my ideas to the extreme Lord,
00:12:16.60\00:12:20.90
push the envelope of creativity.
Help me exceed expectations
00:12:20.94\00:12:27.11
in every area of my life
through your power alone.
00:12:27.14\00:12:31.71
Do you long for a
touch of creativity?
00:12:31.75\00:12:36.82
Take right now and just ask
God to give you a special touch.

Colossians 3:23 says "Whatever
you do, work hardily as for
00:13:21.10\00:13:26.20
the Lord and not for men."
00:13:26.23\00:13:28.40
So, use your creativity for God.
00:13:28.44\00:13:31.61
Proverbs 22:29 says Do you
see a man skillful in his work?
00:13:31.64\00:13:36.14
He will stand before kings.
He will not stand before obscure
00:13:36.18\00:13:39.91
men. Use your gift to glorify
God, He is the king of kings
00:13:39.95\00:13:45.62
and He loves you. Amen!
