Permission granted

You have permission to create. You have the capacity to capture what you see, think, feel, hear, taste and believe. On any canvas, on any medium that you so wish.

You can paint, draw, capture, release anything you want. You are an artist.
This creative ability is hardwired into the very fabric of your being. It exists in you on a cellular level. It is a huge part of your identity.

Since we were formed in the likeness of God, who's very nature is creative and artistic, it follows that we too have that same bent.

Genesis spells it out to us clearly:
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

We were fashioned after the image of one who is ultra creative, meaning that our creative potential is unlimited.

Sadly though, it is common for man to shut down this creative well and never ever tap into it or release it.

In this last year attending Bethel School of Ministry, I've learned that I am an artist. I've started to re-dig the wells of my God breathed and inspired creativity to collaborate with Holy Spirit to capture pictures that affect the atmosphere around me and cause others to come into an encounter with Jesus.

I used to think that just because I am not a very skilled drawer that my artistic attributes were limited and of not much use. However, one of the consistent words I've heard God say to me in this season is "permission granted". I have permission to create with Him in whatever way I so lean, without having to fear judgment or criticism. Whether I draw a stick figure which points to an area of the body that God wants to heal or create an abstract image demonstrating what's going on in the spirit, God says I have permission and I am anointed to create. That it is part of my DNA to be artistic.

So what will you create with Holy Spirit today? After all the possibilities are limitless, you were made in the image of an artist, and you have permission!
The pictures below demonstrate what I have created as I have collaborated with the Holy Spirit, and tapped into the wells of my creativity.
I am selling my artwork, so if there is anything that interests you let me know. All funds go towards supporting myself through ministry school-tuition and living expenses.
