Last time I wrote about how the lack of knowledge will cause your spiritual/physical death. If we don’t apply knowledge to the inspiration and dreams and act, it will remain fruitless.
Now we take it a little further by adding substance to our knowledge, and that is called belief.
Who do you believe in? What do you believe, and how do you apply your belief in your creativity?
“Why do most people find it so difficult to put the required action behind their knowledge? I believe it is nothing more than a lack of belief.”
The moment you connect with God, streams of living water flows.
Our creativity is like a river that has to flow continually to grow. If we do not put action to the flow, it will stale and dry up. Blocks appear, and what we experience or feel in our hearts doesn’t manifest in the medium you are led to use.
One of the main reasons this happens is our lack of faith in ourselves.
When we have a lack of faith in our abilities, we stop the flow. The only way to recharge it is to connect with the Living Creator that is the beginning of our creativity. He is our source, the very substance of our existence. We cannot separate the two.
Charles Spurgeon used a wonderful analogy to describe how faith works. An anchor on a boat might look beautiful, but it is useless. In fact, it is only an ornament while it lies on the boat.
Only when it is tossed into the waters and reaches the seabed, can it become useful. It is created to work in the silent dark places to anchor the boat. It wasn’t created to be an ornament.
If we don’t believe in God, we can’t have faith in our abilities. The two are interlinked. Once your connection is secure, faith works.
An anchor is connected with its source. It cannot do its work properly if it’s not connected.
This is how faith is. Only when you use it, does it become useful. Our faith must come into action in order to release the flow of creativity in our lives. If we don’t use it, it is a mere ornament that gathers dust on our vessel.
The only thing we can do to make it work is by acting in faith and toss it into the sea once that connection is established. This is where our belief in the divine will be tested.
By Faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom, and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purposes] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.
Hebr: 11.3 (Amp)
When our belief is shattered or misplaced by the troubles of this world, we are like a Lasarus who is still wrapped in he’s death cloth; who can hear but cannot see and who still stinks and is unable to communicate.
It is only when the death cloth is removed that we can truly see the new life promised to us. Once we see and hear, can we communicate and the creativity be released.
Talk to someone close to you if you struggle with this or talk to me, and connect to the Source of your hope. Jesus Christ, the anointed of God, establishes that connection, and see what God will do in and through you.
Let the river flow.
