My latest recipe for creativity that I got from my good Aussie friends Stephen and Mara from Heartstyles. Three ideas or questions to ask God when you are in a situation that needs clarifying or direction you are seeking or perhaps creativity you are trying to leverage. One, what is “God Giving me”. What do I need to stay focused? Two, What is “God Telling me”. God is talking to us 10-15 times a day, are you listening?. Three, what is “God Showing me”. What is He showing me right now that I need to act on. What is happening to me? How am I going to be used by God in the next hour. Or how is the brand of my ministry impacting people or carrying my God given talents into the world. Does is say who I am?

I happen to think that its because we have been preconditioned by the media and we are too gullible so believe what we are told. We are set up at every level to get spoon feed our information. We like to be told what to do and not think for ourselves. So in the last couple of months, I have been asking the question “How do we hear from God daily”. Just last week. I asked God to use me in the next hour. Within in one hour I ministered to two people, it was awesome!. I have come to the conclusion that  He talks to us through Prayer, Scripture, People, and Dreams. Everything happens in the Spiritual first, then moves into Scripture, then into Speech then manifests itself through to Reality. Everything is in Gods Plan!

I love to the ministry and everything that goes with it. Everything! If you haven’t noticed there is a massive ground swelling of ministries around the world who want to evangelize or have birthed new ministries. We have been made in His image and He has a big plan for our lives… I was  soo impressed with this video.. Check it out “How Big is our God”

This past weekend I experienced the most intimate relationship with my Lord Jesus Christ than I have ever experienced. I learned new things about myself and my Lord than I have never heard before. I am soo fired up, about getting intimate with Him. Wow. I learned that there is a difference between mechanical worship and intimate worship. We have all been in mechanical worship scenarios, but how about an intimate worship setting. Intimate worship setting has all the elements of intimacy. Arousal, Foreplay and Afterglow.  Are you getting out your rock bag? Hold on. I thought the same thing too… When you are seeking him and getting intimate with him, the manifestation are miracles. Have you seen miracles in the worship setting you are in every Sunday? Thank you Dick Reuben, Jerry Murphy and Kent Henry, for leading us into a life changing worshiping experience. it changed my life

If your ministry is your passion then your brand should express itself through you and your staff. Ohh boy, I can hear the complaints and hearsay now. Hold on to your rocks…
God desires to express himself through man for His purpose. Right? He created man in his own image. Right. So the passions in your heart should be reflective of what you are doing, I am not talking about your Job. I am talking about the passions of your heart. This is your specific DNA code that God has given to you. Everyone whether they are Christian or not think they are special, this is because God has built us this way. We are special in Gods eyes, because we have a specific function here on earth. Just as a glove is made in the image of a hand, so also man is made in the image of God. So, you are in a ministry? Right? Are the Passions in your heart reflected in your Ministry if so then the Brand must be reflection of your passion and your ministry. Now are the deliverables ie the website and video
a reflection of the passion and ministry
Did I step on some toes? Now you can throw those rocks at your website and video team not me.
