Dan McCollam One Sound

would you guys stand and welcome Dan McComb thanks everybody oh wow it's good to be back with you at one sound come on hahahaha there's something about just keeping at it keeping on keep going you know something really important boy that offering message woo get the recording that was amazing I hope that was recorded that was phenomenal hey I'm gonna give some things away real quick just so you know some of the resources back there but also because I like to sow into you guys and just pray for you this is actually my best-selling series it's called God vibrations it's all about the physics of sound I actually did this about four or five years ago at one of the first one sound events but this is the six part DVD series it's really meant for small groups and it talks about how healing affects the mind how to fix the body and healing how it opens up heavenly portals for God encounters and all those kind of things talks about the color of sound and just just crazy stuff on there so I would love to sew that into a worship leader that's looking for a resource for there yeah is that you you raise your hand it's okay yeah come on up yeah awesome what church are you from awesome awesome bless you enjoy that yeah these are okay these are the three books I wrote in the first six months of this year I'll tell you how can we pause the recording if you're recording can we pause this I don't want to go on record for this huh you're on YouTube right now because I can't say things I have some secrets of the kingdom that I'm not ready to be accountable for anyway I'll say it this way I'll say it very safe all right when scripture talks about redeeming the time it's not talking about time management all right it's talking about time stewardship and stewardship is not about how you manage your money it's how you increase your money so redeeming the time is how to increase the time all right so remember that time is a perception all right you actually have receptors in your brain receptors in your body that's what you go through in jetlag it's called your chrono reception it's how your body measures time but it's just a perception not a reality and when you're seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus so you have actually bent your Chronos reception before because you've been in a meeting that felt like it was only 15 minutes long and it was really four hours and then you've been in a meeting that was I love smart audiences that's great so I love something that grahamcooke says he said we achieve acceleration when we do by intention what we've done by intuition so when you do on purpose what you've done on accident you achieve acceleration and and so I started doing that on purpose how do I get into a heavenly realm where I can do in 20 minutes what I could normally only do in two hours yeah there's so there's something there that's all I'm gonna say about that right now okay yeah I'm convinced you can bend time I'll tell you that much all right and it's redeeming the time all right so you can get a whole lot done it's pretty amazing but anyway I asked some books to give away and so this one is a 52-week songwriting journal for worship people that are writing worship songs it takes you through four different types of worship song you write one song a week and it's just like a journal it'll give you a scripture and then give you an assignment and give you a page to score it and a page to ride it out and and so it takes you through invocation declaration petition and adoration you write one of those every month and it will just really grow your songwriting as well as your intimacy with the Lord your knowledge of the word all kinds of good stuff in that I'm gonna give that away in a minute and then this is the parallel book but this is for marketplace writers I didn't start as a worship musician I started in the marketplace eye towards seven years with the rock band and and and so this is for marketplace writers and I actually go through the seven mountains of society and every seven weeks you'll write a different song for a different market so you write for education did you know that that like educational songs like Sesame Street did you know they won 18 Grammys like you forget that there's a whole market out there for educational too and who needs to touch the minds of children you know and then and so in this book I tell little stories about famous songs in every sphere of influence and then give you an assignment to write a song for that sphere of influence I was teaching last year at the Bethel school of worship and I was quoting a guy Blaise Pascal from the 17th century and he said this it's not those that write the laws that have the greatest impact on any society but those who write the songs and after I said it I just kept on teaching but while I was teaching Holy Spirit was speaking to me have you ever had this happen it's so weird it's like two conversations going on at the same time and he goes yeah that's how that's how marriage got redefined in the legal system I said what I mean like I'm still speaking but in my spear I said what and he said yeah because Christians don't write love songs someone else defined what love is so Blaise Pascal said it's not those that write the laws who have the greatest impact on society but those who write the songs because Christians don't write love songs someone else defined love and marriage and he said this won't be won in the court system it'll be won when Christians write the most romantic songs on the face of the earth to that make you want to love your wife all the days of your life and and stay together and and and I really believe in this as a matter of fact then the Lord said what's the longest song in the Bible I said oh with psalm 119 he said nope Song of Songs a romantic song a love song and I know we use it for an allegory of Jesus there's nothing wrong everything in the Bible points to Jesus but he actually wrote it about a really hot chick that's what the song is about he wrote it about this girl he was really crazy about and yeah so the longest song on the Bible is a love song but anyway I want to give these two away I want to give away the 52 weeks to someone who wants to take on this challenge of writing a song every single week a worship song every single week okay come on up and then just stand there for a minute and then cuz I'm gonna pray for you too when I give you these and then I want to I want to give this book to somebody who's riding for marketplace yeah right the lady that raised her hand right back there yeah come on over here now I wonder one sound San Diego can we be part of this commissioning right now that we bless the songs of the church but we bless the songs in the marketplace as much as we bless the songs in the church the songs in the church aren't going to redefine the culture of the world it's the songs in the marketplace that are going to redefine the culture of the world so both of these are really important one of them connects us with heaven and one of them connects heaven with her and and so we're really excited about a generation of songwriters that are not just reflecting the culture but defining the culture and we play we pray that anointing on you in Jesus name and and so first of all just take a hold of that book for a moment and I release over you a grace for a song every week in Jesus name a grace to literally hear from heaven I pray the anointing of the prophets of Asaph over you to be the king's recorders to be the king's gatherers to hear the voice of the king no matter who it's coming through no matter as where it's coming from and to be able to translate that into a song in Jesus name and so I bless you with the Grace and the anointing of Asaph in Jesus name Amen praise alert and then father we thank you for the marketplace writers father I thank you that there's a new place in the church father that you're giving leaders understanding of the importance of musicians whose primary call is not the church and so father we just bless our sister today in Jesus name may a spirit of wisdom and a spirit of Revelation a spirit of understanding be upon you may favor open doors for you may your gift may you hear melodies that have certain anointings as certain powers on them may you capture words and phrases that become key phrases to unlock a blessing in every spear society and through this may you find your musical Metron in Jesus name hallelujah thank you Jesus praise the Lord so and then this is this is my 20th book but it's my favorite book that I've written it's called a prophetic community it's the joyful journey towards building prophetic communities and every time you see a prophet in the Bible by himself or by herself there's trouble because prophets are always made to live in community and and they're actually supposed to form prophetic companies and this is what this book is all about it actually documents how prophecy disappeared in 280 ad how it started disappearing in the church and why it disappeared how it disappeared we go through from 280 ad all the way up to 1000 ad and describe what was happening in the church and how supernatural disappeared how miracles disappeared how prophecy disappeared and then why it came back how it came back and then that the Lord is restoring prot the gift of prophecy actually so that we can live in prophetic community and feel God fulfill God's dream God's dream is this he said in the last days I'll pour out my spirit on all flesh so every son and daughter can prophesy he wants every son and daughter hearing and seeing and perceiving the heart and the mind of God and and so man I really have a passion about this a few years ago the Lord said do you know what would what would prophecy look like as a life skill not just a ministry skill and we started exploring what we could do with prophecy and and and we we saw some breakthroughs in business we saw some breakthroughs in government but but we were praying over the mountain of family and prophesying over the mountain of family and I found this old I was reading about the Saints I loved to read about the saints and the saints in history and and I was reading about st. Nicholas and how he actually broke up a child slavery ring of his day through word of knowledge and I said Lord if he could do that we can do that and so I went to the target and I got a bunch of the posters off the wall the missing children and I brought him back to our prophetic teams and I said let's find these children and and so we started experimenting with it and on our first try we took 14 children and I don't know if you know the statistics but 2,000 children a day go missing in America 1,000 are domestic disputes 500 are Runaways and 500 our abductions and if they're not found within 48 hours the chance of finding them is really really slim and so I had little bio sheets of what actually happened to some of these children like just maybe three or four lines but I didn't give that to our prophetic coaches I just said hey pray and see if you can figure out what happened to this child well one of the groups got the make of the car the color of the car the year of the car and the names of the two guys that that abducted this girl two years ago and so we knew we were on the right track and I said okay now then is she still alive and they started praying they're like yes she's still alive okay so this is our first time we don't know what to do but we're just like okay what do we see how do we see her you know being released or escaped or being found or what we felt like she was going to escape and so we just proclaimed into the atmosphere a window of opportunity for her to escape she'd been missing for between two to three years two days later she was found she she had escaped so we tried we tried it again we found three more children and the police heard about it and they came to us and they said we'd like to do a prototype program with you for solving crimes and finding missing children and and so we're in a we're in a nine-month prototype with with our police department father I release a grace for prophetic innovation not just to do what has been done but to do what's never been done that I is not seen ear has not heard all that God has prepared for those who love him but he's revealed it through the prophetic so father I thank you that we're stepping into realms that we haven't even seen before heard of before Lord through the grace that you poured out through the riches of the father's love and grace and mercy towards us in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit and I bless you in prophetic innovation I bless you in prophetic innovation I bless you to take on an area of injustice and to transform it by hearing and seeing and knowing and perceiving the heart of God the wisdom of God in Jesus name Amen bless you bless you Holly you don't have to hurry off you're okay so I I have some resources for kids I have these books on the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit for children and I'm really excited about these one of the little girls was her mom was reading to her the the chapter on on healing and this child was 11 years old and had severe dyslexia and and so she read the chapter on healing they prayed through it and everything and at the end now remember this is about how to flow in the gift of healing and at the end she said to her daughter she said I know it's hard for you to write you know so just if you could write a paragraph just a few sentences don't worry about if you spell the words wrong or if the letters are backwards just right you know what this book was about in a few sentences she wrote two pages absolutely everywhere it's spelled right every letter I she was totally healed of her dyslexia we had a four year old child who they were reading the one on on the gift of tongues and the child was baptized in the Holy Spirit started speaking in tongues and prophesying and and so we've just seen we've seen amazing miracles happening through these so this one is the gift of healing the working of miracles you know I found out that my daughter had the working of miracles actually when I was in Mammoth um we were she goes daddy I want to see snow and I'm like it's not timely year for snow and she goes well I want to see it anyway I'm like we'll talk to God about that we came out after a meeting there was four inches of snow on the ground and a time of year when it wasn't supposed to snow and and when we came out I was so shocked I realized this is a working of miracles this is the ability to define natural law to release divine purpose that's what working of miracles is it's the ability to suspend natural law to release divine purpose or a higher law and and so uh I was doing a meeting about six months later and she had sung a song over the weather that's how she got the snow to come and and so about six months went by and I was doing a meeting in Minnesota in January because nobody else would go and Lord here am I sent me with a parka please and and the pastor said you know what I don't even know if we can do this meeting because there is a storm system a blizzard heading for us that is literally a hundred miles wide and he showed it to me on the radar system I said and he goes nobody's gonna be able to get here and I said no problem I'll get my daughter on it so I called her up she's eight years old at the time I call her up I said honey I need you to sing one of the songs over the weather but this time don't make it snow make the snow go away she begins to sing this song this prophetic song over the weather and we watch on the radar on television the system split in two and go around the city and then reconnect again above the city so here's the deal kids are already really in touch with the spirit realm but if they're not coached what will happen is the enemy in centers in and torments with the operations with the stimulations of their gift and if they don't have understanding with it they'll close their gate of fate they'll go I don't want to see anymore I don't want to feel anymore I don't want weird things that happen or whatever so they have to be coached to keep the door of faith not only open but to keep it active and then also see the enemy tries to get the child to close the door at an early age so the gifts can never be used against the kingdom of darkness so I'm really passionate about training children and the gifts of the Holy Spirit this is a book four through six so it gets a healing working of miracles gift of prophecy I'd love to sow this into a parent that yeah you just have such a hopeful look on your face come on up here hallelujah so I'm gonna pray over you I pray first of all for a discerning of spiritual gifts actually that you can discern the gifts of your child and that you're gonna have a gift of word of wisdom from heaven and how to coach them and how to mentor them and and whoa whoa ooh I feel like as you release that over your children your children are going to release it over other children whoo so I bless you in Jesus name thank you lord haha this is our kids CD this is number two this is really fun this is like Disney music on Holy Ghost crack or something it's it's messages of the kingdom you know encoded into the sounds of children you know and sometimes we do kind of these little Sunday school songs but that's really not what most kids are listening to and so we you know we did electronica music dance music hip hop music rap music encoded with the messages of the kingdom and sung by children and so this is man these are awesome I we've had so many kids delivered from night terrors listen to these CDs for one do we have anybody who's whose child okay come on up here hallelu bless you so yeah she loves the music awesome she wants number two so father III just thank you in Jesus name that these these children who listen to it won't even won't just be blessed by the song but the anointing of songwriting will come upon them in Jesus name lorry release a new song anointing over these kids Oh father I thank you that this is a double portion generation we release Lord the wisdom to mentor a double portion generation but we released the grace to manifest of double portion songwriting a-19 who in Jesus name Amen ha ha ha whoo all right final thing but you notice we're not just doing commercials were ministering to people ha ha ha ha and so that's really what it's about I don't I don't I don't care about this I just care about touching people this is cyber sea emissions organization called sounds of the nation's and we we are a prophetic revival organization that focuses on worship and what we do is we we help people find the song the lord over a city region or nation and then how to release it in the song of the earth in the sound of the people and so it's the songs of the Lord and the sounds of the people and 51 language groups around the world and and growing all the time but this one is really close to my heart I've been doing this now for 17 years and just if two years ago I was able to record our first Native Americans group and so I went to Oklahoma where the Native American Hall of Fame is in Anadarko Oklahoma a little tiny depressed community and it's actually the capitol of five nations of Native American people we had seven nations come in and what we did is we captured the songs from Christians from a revival from a hundred years ago in the powwow style so these are like powwow style songs which is really really cool it's the sound of the land it's the sound of thunder it's the sound of Buffalo you know but the song of the Lord in that sound and what's really cool and and tragic at the same time as one of these guys was the last guy on earth to speak that language and it took us two years to get all this approval through Tribal Council and in that two years he passed away but we captured the last song the last language of that person of that laying last recording of that language ever captured is a revival song yeah and so we captured it so who has a passion for it well actually Sarah yeah come on up here bless you Sarah let me pray over you - Oh father she's had this heart for your host people of the land and Father now I pray that you just begin to open doors for her and not only that you would give her strategies from heaven and Sarah I know sometimes you don't feel like you know you think strategically but the Lord says I'm bringing an angel alongside of you that's gonna release strategies over you and I see him just releasing like Scrolls of blueprints and Scrolls of plans and Scrolls of strategy over you and so now even as you take this physical product of capturing the song of the Lord in the sound of the people now may the doors open to you in Jesus name full we just bless you hallelujah well it's gonna be a good weekend can you feel that it's gonna be easy isn't it Michael it's gonna be you guys are easy in a wonderful way not easy like a Sunday morning I can tell you that much sorry you have to be old to know that one Lionel Richie he came to here this one time when I was 16 years old we were jamming with some guys and he heard about us and he came to see us we got to share Jesus with him and if you go on the brick house album he did a song called Jesus's love and it's dedicated to alphab and that was the band that I was in at the time cuz we got to pray with Lionel to rededicate his life to the Lord so he's the one who did Izzy like Sunday morning that's where that connects okay here we go Heather asked me if I'd share with you some of my journey with a topic called creative Dominion and so I've I've been this is something that's been stewing in my spirit now for probably four or five years it you know I'm slow but persistent I just did a seven part series on this but the interesting thing is I'm going to share some things with you but I I got up at you know 5:00 this morning to capture to catch a plane out here and so when I got home when I got back to the hotel I took a nap and during the nap the Lord spoke some fresh things to me about this that I hadn't heard before so they're untested first awe and it will be some assembly required because I have no idea how this is going to go together but I'm gonna share some things that I do know and then I'm gonna share some things that I feel like the Lord said when my spirit was in neutral you know what I'm saying like with your well you're just kind of coming out of that sleep but you're really vulnerable you what the Lord is saying but this concept comes out of Genesis chapter 1 verse 26 through 28 but I want to start with what what the Lord said today he said daño what was the first what what he said what is the first commandment I go oh I know this one love the Lord God with all your heart your soul your mind your strength egos no no not first in importance not first as in greatest first as in first one I gave and I was like oh that's that's the Genesis mandate that's what we're gonna read right now this is the first command that God ever gave to humanity alright he said this then God said let us make man in our image in our likeness so that they may rule so that they may rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the sky over the livestock over all the wild animals over all the creatures that move along the ground so God created mankind in his own image and the image of God he created them male and female he created them God blessed them and said to them okay here's the first command be fruitful and multiply increase in number fill the earth and subdue it rule over the fish in the sea the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves across the ground let's just bless the word of the Lord for a moment father God we just we love the word thank you for giving us the scripture thank you for giving us the word and thank you that you are still speaking to our hearts and you are still speaking through the word so today we ask that you would make this word living and powerful and active in our heart in our mind in our spirit Lord God in our bodies and in the atmosphere the very atmosphere of this room and in the atmosphere of San Diego father we're not just coming today for what we can get for ourselves we are coming to today to receive for a city and so father we're not just receiving the seed to go on a mission in this city Lord we are receiving the seed for the city for the city so we increase the size of our faith Lord to receive a measure of grace a measure of wisdom a measure of anointing to transform a city in Jesus name Amen all right cool so the Lord dropped this phrase into my spirit several years ago creative dominion and just means this that God created man in His image God created man in His image the first thing is just this that creativity is one of the highest manifestations of the divine nature all right when you create you are acting like God okay you realize that when it says God created you in His image you were in his imagination you are a figment of God's imagination ha all right creativity is a prophetic act it's a prophetic act because of this whenever you create something you're taking something from the invisible unseen realm and making it manifest in this one that's prophecy alright that's a prophecy so creativity is actually a prophetic act and it's a prophetic act again because it's taking something unseen unheard unthought-of and making it manifest in this realm but not only that because it's prophetic it has a transformational effect upon its atmosphere and it also has a message and so all creativity is declaring the glory of God as a matter of fact in Romans chapter 1 verse 18 to 20 it says that which can be known about God his eternal attributes and divine nature can be clearly seen being understood through what has been made or created so that all men are without excuse and so here it is like everything you can know about God you can know through what he created and all creation is declaring not only the glory of God but everything that is knowable about God I love what George Washington Carver said after the Civil War when when there was no one to work the cotton fields because of the liberation of slaves thank God for that but but it ruined the economy at the same time so George Washington Carver stepped in and and he figured out a thousand or 2,000 uses for a peanut because they also had peanuts and he was able to save the economy of the south through a revelation when they asked him how he said this he said if you love creation it will share its secrets with you hahahaha why be that that's not mystical he was a believer because that which can be known about God is eternal attributes his divine nature can be clearly seen and understood through what has been made in the same way when we create we are revealing something about us and about God we are first of all revealing that we are sons and daughters of God who were made in the image of a creator but we are also revealing so that's what we're revealing about us but it's also making a statement about God and you know what it makes a statement about God whether you're a Christian or not because everybody has this not just believers because pre Christians were also made in the image of God they just don't know it yet so so they prophesy on accident all the time that's why you can watch a movie on Sunday night you know you listen to a sermon Sunday morning and then you watch a movie Sunday night and you get more out of the movie Sunday night that was made by a pre-christian then out of the sermon Sunday morning how many ever had I've had that happen when I was the speaker you know what I'm saying Sunday morning I'm like man movies and songs and books and all this stuff they speak to me why do they speak to you because to the pure all things are pure listen I know they have scratches on their lenses that they don't get everything right but in the midst of this they are saying something prophetic and powerful about God and his kingdom and because I know what he looks like I can see him in their stuff it's really cool it's how secular stuff can be anointed even though there's no such thing as secular anymore secular got torn down to the cross of Jesus Christ no I did see there used to be a dividing wall between what was holy kind of holy and unholy no seriously this is super holy and then you know behind door number two this is kind of holy and then this is not holy sorry this is this is not holy with we won't aim that at anybody like that's secular they can't come in and you can't talk to them and you can't be with them and you can't you know and so there was these walls of division man those curtains were walls of division they were compartmentalization of spirituality and so when Jesus died on the cross the door number two where the Holy of Holies was it ripped from top to bottom and and and the highest concentration of the manifest presence of God came out and where did it go into the believer it says now you're the temple the Holy Spirit so now you are the highest concentration of the manifest presence of God on planet earth you are Jacob's Ladder where angels ascend and descend you are a gateway to heaven you are a doorway to Jesus and the kingdom of God and and and and so we need to have that revelation but but here's the deal so when he did that the whole unclean thing changed I'm not saying there's no sin there's no evil of course there is we see that every day that's not what we're talking about but what happens next remember Peters at the house of Simon the Tanner which is you know against the law first of all but God sent him there and so then there he is and down comes the sheet this was the first episode of fear factor how all kinds of creepy crawly things on it I'm a missionary so I've seen that table you know what I mean rise kill and eat it's like not so Lord I'm not eating that you know what I mean I mean like just crazy creepy whoo I'm Tania I've ate funky stuff tarantulas and bugs and all kinds of whoo you just feeling called emissions right now aren't you but anyway this sheet comes down from heaven Fear Factor it's got all this scary stuff on it God says rise killing eat Peter goes no I'm a good Jew I don't do that I'm not eating that unclean stuff and it lifts up again then it comes down again second time same thing third time now you know in the Bible when God says something the third time you better get it like if God tells you something twice get ready because the third time you better respond alright so the third time it comes down why because on the witness on the testimony of two to three witnesses that thing will be established so the third time it happens it's it's to establish it now so it comes down he said Lord I've never I've never eaten anything unclean and what does he say we're not doing that anymore he said now don't call anything I've created unclean anymore why because the redemption of Jesus was not just mankind it was all of creation all of creation so the wall between sacred and secular came down through the very flesh of Jesus Christ when that curtain was torn it was the tear of Jesus's flesh the curtain between heaven and between earth between clean and unclean between sacred and secular and now everything and everyone can be redeemed for the glory of God and never it never originated with the devil because the devil is not a creator it always originated in God it's in him we live and move and have our being here all things are upheld by the power of his word that nothing exists without him through him and for him are all things created see this is all the Word of God so we have to get rid of spiritual compartmentalization that actually keep us from going into all the world and being God in that in that situation all right so um I don't know how we got there but it was good totally lost right now but I'm lost in a good place you know like sometimes you stumble on good places and that's where we are right now okay creative Dominion so when you are creating you are prophesying and you are showing that you are son or daughter of God and you're flowing in his same spirit of imagination he made from his imagination you make from your imagination and and then you're sending a message okay now that's the creative part here's the Dominion part it says so go out and be fruitful and multiply fill the earth and subdue it now Very's talking about procreation he's talking about having children but that was the first creative act you know and it's and it's really powerful but here's the thing he says and then rule rule over the birds of the air over the fish of the sea over everything that creeps across the ground and this is where God began to establish the principle of creative dominion he said this york when you take responsibility for your creativity it releases authority when you take responsibility for your God ideas and you actually steward them and do something with them then it releases favor Authority and influence within society because the world is transformed by ideas the world is transformed by imaginations that become flesh that become physical and see every person on earth has that ability because they are sons and daughters of God some are lost sons and daughters of God some are found sons and daughters of God but we're all sons and daughters of God and that's not some form of universalism right they have to cash the cheque through faith they have to believe okay but the work of Christ was universal it was for everyone and he desired that all would be saved and and his work was universal in that it touched everything in the universe that everything in the universe is restored to the capacity to bring God glory praise honor and pleasure isn't that beautiful and so here's the thing you've got to see that your creativity is linked to your authority favor and influence your ability to influence the earth because the one with the idea the one with the god idea changes the world alright so I want to share with you real quickly five things about that and then a little bit more about what I heard Holy Spirit say and then we'll we'll see where that takes us okay so real quickly creativity is not a gift okay this is really really important creativity is not a gift that some people have and other people don't have that's that is a Greek idea that comes from Greek mythology and pantheism polytheism actually and and that is that the Greeks believed that there were spirits of poetry and there were spirits of music and there were spirits of design and there were all these different spirits and those spirits would come on you and they would inspire you to create something now it's possible don't just just hang with me for a moment how many know that Jesus quoted from the Book of Enoch do you know that Jesus actually quoted Enoch and he quoted from the writings of Enoch I'm not saying that Enoch is inspired it's not in our Bible it's in you know is that my phone oh my goodness that's my phone hello it's my dad I love you dad but I better not answer right now okay I'll call you back so my goodness where would we okay what could Enoch okay real quickly in the Book of Enoch it's really interesting we're not saying it's an inspired writing we're not saying this is exactly right but it is a theory but the book of enoch talks about angels coming down and releasing technologies in the earth that weren't supposed to be released until the time of Christ that there were specific angels that came down and taught about architecture which is how they built pyramids and stuff like that about animal husbandry about and they list nine different areas so actually this Greek mythology could go back to the time of the antediluvian generation the pre-flood generation where angels came down released technology out of time and and the reason they were releasing technology out the reason it wasn't supposed to get released yet is that all treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in the person of Jesus Christ and to have that wisdom apart from Christ creates Babylon situations where people build things that transform culture but don't point to God and so these angels were punished and kept in a place because they were released it was God's will to release these technologies but in a certain time in the person of Jesus Christ so scripture talks about in the fullness of time Christ came this was the mystery hidden for generations the treasures of wisdom and knowledge and the person of Jesus Christ I'm just saying it's a theory it's a theory it's just a theory it's a good one okay so here we go I want you to understand that thinking that creativity is a gift or a mood or a feeling is a false religion it's it's idolatry which is a wrong idea about God I've never said that before no seriously I I haven't first time you heard it was the first time I heard it but it's true I believe it but anyway creativity is not a gift that some people have and others don't it's not a feeling it's not a mood that comes from Greek mythology and Hellenistic teachings creativity doesn't even actually come and go creativity is the divine nature of God inside every son and daughter creativity is the nature of the Creator inside of his sons and daughters and it would it distinguishes you from all other creation because see animals can create but they can't be creative all right animals like I've said this before I think I've even said it here but birds can make nests but how many know after hundreds and thousands of years they're not building birdy condos you know out of plywood and renting it to other birds because they're not innovative because they don't have an imagination they have an urge to create but they're not creative beavers aren't going like hey every year the floods knock out our dams like let's quit using sticks let's build concrete you know what I mean and and this will last longer now because they can create but they're not creative you're unique within God's creation and your ability to create as a matter of fact they don't think angels can probably create because their messengers actually they're given they're given assignments they're a little bit different than us I could be wrong about that but I just saying what I think but anyway this is a wrong idea that it's a gift that it's a mood that it's a feeling that some people have some people don't that it comes and goes you've got to get rid of that wrong idea to release the favor and authority and influence to release the Dominion of sons and daughters of God that actually creation is groaning and travailing over creations groaning and travailing not for the return of Jesus but for sons and daughters to figure out who they are so they can release what they have obviously return of Jesus is gonna make a huge difference just like first time he came you know what I mean so we're not speaking against that of course but the implications of this are huge because if creativity comes from the divine nature then it's always available and it's always available to everybody all right second thing here we go so this scripture leads us to the second idea that creativity is meant to give you authority favor and influence that's where that word Dominion comes from it it says let them create and let them rule and and there's not even any punctuation between it's the same sentence there is a connection between your ability to create and your ability to influence and change the world around you so I love how the message puts at Genesis 1:28 it says God blessed them and said prosper and reproduce and fill the earth and take charge and be responsible for every living thing isn't that beautiful come on take charge and be responsible for every living thing you know there's a wrong idea about Dominion some people think like seven mountain teaching and Dominion is like us wanting to take over the world okay you know there are Christians that want to do that but jesus said this he said the way we do kingdom is different than how they do it on the earth he said don't lord it over people like the like the rulers of the Gentiles do if you want to be great in my kingdom you have to be servant of all so Dominion when I say Dominion it's the power to influence it's the authority and the favour to influence but it's actually the power to serve the world around you with the genius of heaven all right so Dominion is not lording it over people it is the revelation that empowers you to serve with Kingdom ideas but creativity only has authority when it takes responsibility all right did you hear that in the message Genesis 1:28 it said you know prosper be blessed fill the earth with this stuff he said take charge and be responsible so you can serve every living thing like so you can serve the world around you that's what Dominion really is but you need to know that until you take responsibility for your creativity it never releases Authority and so you've had ideas before that you never acted on and then you saw him on TV two years later and you're trying to convince everybody in the room that was my idea I had that idea what happened somebody else acted on it and got the prosperity the favor the authority the influence to transform society you didn't act on it so even though you had the creativity creativity without responsibility does not equal Authority so Habakkuk chapter 2 says I'll station myself on the ramparts I'll watch to see what the Lord will say to me and how he will answer my complaint and the Lord speaks and says write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets of stone so that runners can run with it for the revelation awaits an appointed time though it tarry it won't delay though it linger it will surely come to pass what is that saying it says we stationed ourselves to hear from the Lord to see from the Lord to perceive from the Lord but then you have to do something with it you have to write it down and make it plain you have to refine it why do you have to refine things that come from God shouldn't we just leave oh it came from God don't touch it no scripture says in first Corinthians 13 we know in part and we prophesy in part you're only getting pieces of information so you have to keep refining them you have to keep working on them you have to keep stirring them God came to the stewards and he gave him money and he said don't just don't just hide what I've given you so you can give me back what I gave you but actually multiply it and increase take a chance with this take a risk with this make something more out of this and creativity is actually the stewardship of your authority all right you've got to turn your imagine in the reality before it has prophetic influence and if all your paintings are in your closet and if all your songs are in your head and if all your ideas for the business you're afraid to share you have no favorite or 'ti or influence because you've never let your imagination become a manifestation because you're afraid you're afraid to be vulnerable maybe you're afraid to be teachable maybe you're afraid that what you create isn't valuable fear is a robber it robs us in every area of life and you've got to get over your fear and understand that your son and daughter of God you've got to make your creativity vulnerable but you also have to stay teachable because the first thing you share is not going to be perfect because we know in part and we prophesy in part we see in a glass dimly right now so you're seeing reflections of God's genius but you're just getting pieces of it you know what I'm saying so you need partnerships with other people and you need to be teachable and you need to be vulnerable and and you need to work within community let's go back to Babylon for a minute because this is something the Lord spoke to me today that I hadn't heard before or thought of before and and that is at Babylon they were creating something and it was amazing I mean as a matter of fact people still think that some of those things exist today and and they and some of the things that were created were known as the seven wonders of the world some of the things they created in that moment God came down and confused their languages so that they couldn't communicate with one another because again they were building something that didn't point to Christ they were building something that didn't have its foundation in the knowledge of Jesus Christ and he wasn't threatened by it he just knew that that kind of power without the presence and the relationship would be oppressive seen I'm saying who is rescuing humanity he wasn't threatened by it he was rescuing he's a rescuer all throughout the word he's a rescuer and so on and so isn't it interesting though that when Jesus comes back in the spirits poured on all flesh we get the supernatural ability to speak in tongues and to interpret tongues but we still like he didn't restore us to one language did you ever wonder why he didn't why he didn't do that see in in the time of Babylon everybody spoke the same language so collaboration was super easy now you have to choose it see now you have to choose to collaborate now you have to choose to work together now you have to understand that every dream and every great idea is meant to be fulfilled within the context of community that you actually can't do it yourself you know I love some of the teachings about the you know the creativity profile that there are creators and there's advancers and there's a refiners and there's executors you know what I'm like a creator advancer like I come up with ideas and I get strategies for how to do them and I get about a thousand ideas a day and not all of them are God some of them's just the thinker working over time and and so I'll go to my wife and I'll share my brilliant ideas now my wife is a refiner and the only way I can describe this is I'd start sharing my idea and she starts go well what are you gonna do and how will you did and where will this guy and and I'm like will you quit Shh you know what I feel like I'm at a shooting range it's like pull like I'm throwing these glorious clay pigeons out in the air and my wife's just shooting them now like I quit sharing ideas with my wife because it started turning into something ugly and you know why because I didn't have a value for her kind of vision a refiner is a visionary who sees potential obstacles to your success and if you don't listen to them you have to learn everything by hard-knocks and even though doing is the best teacher the tuitions really high you know you can learn by experience but may have the tuitions high it's really better to learn by wisdom by keeping your heart humble and teachable and choosing to collaborate so God didn't force collaboration when he reunited when he poured his spirit out on all flesh he didn't make us all one language again we had to choose to embrace one another's differences and value them as strengths see my wife edited every one of my books she is a grammatical genius my first book went through 19 edits now I'm not kidding now I kept out of college English I thought I was pretty good but this last book even my 20th book you know in the third edit it had 996 errors in it can I just say that doesn't feel good but I can tell you this also that there are people who pick up a book and if they find a misspelled word or comma out of place in the first chapter they put the book away they're like oh you didn't care enough to actually read this thing and they put it away seriously they estimate about 60% of people so here's the thing i'm the creator advance or the book's done here it is i birth this baby I worked really hard on it I give it to my wife and again it's like I've got to value her difference the refiner the one who actually gets it done you know what I mean the one who makes it better the one who removes the potential obstacles that visionary that can see what's wrong with it I've got to value that you know what we're here in one sound and the thing about one sound is that one sound is like an orchestra the scripture says that that when two or three agree that word is not a vanilla word it's not it's not us all saying and doing the same thing guys do you understand that one sound is an agreement that is that is embracing and celebrating our diversity because that word agree is the word symphony oh it's our word symphony it's many sounds coming together to play the same song what's the sound of San Diego it's all of our diverse expressions of the kingdom of God of the kingdom of church and then we have to choose to collaborate and to not tolerate one another but celebrate one another so God didn't rebuild the creativity that's available in Babylon but he did make it accessible through humility and vulnerability and collaboration so they were able to build a tower to the sky like people never seen before the Hanging Gardens of Babylon you know the the the the libraries that were collected I mean these wonders of the world they were able to build those through this through this collaboration of speaking the same language and living together and valuing one another but again that was outside of Christ now Lord gives us all this wonderful individuality and it gives you individuality so you can lay it down and value what somebody else carries humble yourself on the side of the Lord and choose to collaborate together okay what I have is good but what we have is better that it becomes better as I submit it to the community to the group and it's that commitment to one another that actually transforms society it's linked to the Dominion all right Oh what time is it okay let's let's wrap this up I'll hit these kind of quick so these ideas lead us to a third conclusion since every person is made in the image of God then every person must be creative okay every person must be creative if you have said that I'm not creative because you don't play music or art okay which is kind of how we you know some kind of artisan kind of thing is how we've defined creativity that's another lie that needs to die in this place if we're going to release the one sound of creativity over this community that's going to be transformational we're gonna have to do it together and we're gonna have to kill these lies that creativity is a gift that some people have some people don't or that it's a mood that comes and goes or it's a feeling that I have to wait for no I can be creative any time because I was made in the image of a creator and we are stronger together than we are apart and every single person in this room is creative but you're creative in your sphere of influence you've got ideas for family and ideas for government and ideas for education you got ideas how to do your job better you know and and and so God loves that he wants to release that remember that when when Solomon was given the wisdom of heaven it said all the kings of the earth sent people to him and he was talking about plants and he was talking about animals did you notice that all the world didn't gather for a sermon they gathered for a solution the envoy's the kings of the earth all sent people to Solomon not to hear a sermon or even to see a miracle they came for answers they came for solutions Jesus is not only the way he is the truth and this is the truth generation this is the generation where information is the primary currency of our day and God is the source of all correct information he is the genius of heaven and he wants to release these ideas so here's the thing everybody in this room is infinitely creative Colossians 2 2 2 3 have kind of been making reference to this it says my goal is that they may be encouraged in heart United in love so that they can have the full riches of complete understanding in order that they may know the mystery of God Christ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge all right Jesus is the source of every treasure and of wisdom and of knowledge for every sphere of influence for everything within society guys because we've had spiritual compartmentalization not knowing that the wall between secret sacred and secular came down we don't think God cares about what we do we think he only cares about church stuff and so we think that you know we need to do our stuff in church that's the only thing that's valuable and then we can also do Church stuff out in the world do you know God's not as interested about your church stuff out in the world as he is about your kingdom stuff out in the world that he wants you to release the treasures of wisdom and knowledge they're hidden in the person of Jesus Christ I had this friend in South Africa who worked for a marketing company and one of the employees was trying to get him in trouble so he'd get fired because he didn't like him partly because he was a believer and what he did to get him fired was kind of brilliant he gave him their biggest account he gave him the mercedes-benz account which in the southern hemisphere the largest mercedes-benz factory is in East London South Africa and he gave him that account in marketing now my friend has no degree in marketing he just kind of rose up through the ranks so he's way out like he doesn't know what to do he doesn't know how to formula marketing plan for a company this big and this this profitable and and he's really intimidate so he goes the Lord he says Lord what should I do and he said get a prophetic word over mercedes-benz and take all the religious language out and make it into a PowerPoint presentation and so he does this he makes he gets a prophetic word form changes all the religious information not why because we can customize without compromise Jesus came speaking our language you know and and so we can customize without compromise and so he customized it for this group so they could hear it so he you know he shared it with these the executive committee of this thing and they're like he goes this is the identity of mercedes-benz for the next 10 years and the leaders said yes this is amazing as a matter of fact we are gonna have you share that with 200 of our vice presidents they brought in 200 vice presidents and he shares it with them a prophetic word that God gave him two hundred vice presidents they go okay they all loved it so much they're like oh yeah that's where we're going in the next 10 years so they shut down the factory had him shared with all 4,000 employees of the largest Mercedes factory in the world and the guy that tried to fire him you can kind of guess what happened there he was promoted why because creativity with responsibility equals favor Authority and influence it's how we transform the earth and the scripture says that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in the person of Jesus Christ God cares about your stuff guys when he started speaking to me prophecy should not just be a ministry skill it should be a life skill because hearing God is the key for every area of life and and and you know what I love getting in little circles you know and have the prayer chair and prophesy over each other we do that all the time and we love that and we'll never stop doing that because that's important too it is to bless it is to encourage it is to comfort but listen if I can hear God for you I can hear God to solve a crime I can hear God to find a missing child I can hear God to to renew you know how we do business and and how to prosper and and and it's like but I have to tear down the wall between sacred and secular and I have to see Jesus is not just caring about me in church but caring about me in life we got to get over these false ideas of only your church life matters it's a lie your church life is really really important the church hasn't a really important role please be committed to a local church I'm all for local church I believe in connection with local church and and collaboration between churches I believe in that with all my heart so this is not an anti Church statement I will never bash the Bride of Christ but I'm telling you what there's a veil of ignorance that actually is sewing back up the body of Christ it's sewing back up the curtain that's keeping us from thinking outside the box we're still in the box of an Old Covenant system when Christ opened the way and he says arise shine for the light has come and the glory of the Lord the knowledge of the glory is filling the earth as the waters cover the sea and that's being released through these technologies now that actually were always reserved for us but were hidden until the manifested manifestation of Christ so that we would know that these things were only coming through him and that they were returning back for him and for his honor and glory and when you start coming with solutions people start saying where are you getting this stuff and there's your chance there's your chance there's you know then then you know let your light shine before people so that when they ask you you know for the reason of the hope that's in you you're ready to share it you know but sometimes we share it before we've shown any light and it's not very effective all right we're finishing up we're landing the plane it's finally have you ever thought of creativity creativity because it's the manifestation of God's nature at manifests in three realms and that is wisdom knowledge and understanding so again we kind of think of creativity as something artsy and it's actually not it can manifest as art but it can manifest in any sphere of society and the true manifestation of it is the spirit of wisdom the spirit of knowledge and the spirit of understanding and the scripture says as a matter of fact anytime you see creativity in the Bible you'll see those three words you'll see wisdom understanding and knowledge and I love proverbs 19 tells you why proverbs 19:21 says this by wisdom the Lord laid the Earth's foundations by understanding he set the heavens in place by his knowledge the watery depths were divided and the clouds let drop their due my son do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight God created everything he created through wisdom understanding and knowledge okay but there's another verse in Proverbs proverbs where is it I'm not finding it my notes because I'm just way off my notes right now but it it says this it says through wisdom a thing is a built a house is built through knowledge it is established or know through understanding is established and through knowledge it is filled with rare and precious precious treasures okay so here we go through wisdom a thing is created a house is built through understanding it is established in other words creativity must be sustainability okay so wisdom will create something but understanding how you created that have you ever like gone off book on the recipe you were cooking in the kitchen and you went off-book and you made something awesome but you can never recreate it because you weren't paying attention you're like a little this little that okay what is that wisdom built something but there's no understanding so it's not sustainable so wisdom built the house but through understanding its established you see what I'm saying you can't reproduce it unless you know what you did so a lot of prospect comes from retrospect wisdom comes from seeing hey when this happened and this happened and it felt like that and it worked like that and when you put those pieces together that's when wisdom becomes understanding okay so through understanding something is establishing that it says through knowledge it is filled with rare and precious treasures or where rare and precious gems and so what is it creativity must become sustainability through understanding through knowledge it becomes profitability all right and that's again where it has its effect it's where this thing begins to profit it's where this thing begins to make a difference it's where this thing begins to transform and all those things come from the nature of God all those things you have through Christ already the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom it's not the end of wisdom it's the beginning of wisdom okay and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding the more we know of him the more gets released inside of us and there's a whole teaching about that how you already have the fullness of Christ inside of you but you're only moving in the measure of whatever you've seen in the person of Jesus Christ so here we go we're gonna finish this we're laying in the plane right now if you've been under the lie that I'm not creative because I'm not artistic or musical you've been under that lie would you just stand to your feet right now we're just gonna break that lie off of you because you are a son and daughter of God who actually carries creative dominion you have the potential to transform the world around you through the spirit of wisdom and understanding and knowledge that's in the divine nature of Jesus Christ that's actually inside of you and so we want to break off this lie that you're not creative okay and then joining them if you felt like your creativity was a mood or a gift or a feeling and you've been waiting on the Lightning of creativity to strike that's a lie that needs to be broken off of you all right so see we don't understand that these lies are rooted in false beliefs they're there a lack of understanding and so we're not transforming the world around us because we're not even looking for this because we have a sacred secular wall or we have a lie of feeling or mood or we're waiting to be inspired and we're not tapping in to our divine union with Jesus Christ through the grace of God through the transformational work of the Cross through the power of the Holy Spirit that is accessible to you 24/7 you are the restoration of David's tabernacle we're transformational creativity comes out of your divine union with Christ and so we're gonna break off that those lies off of you right now and and amazing things are gonna happen honestly you're gonna go out of here remember that our one sound is the sound we make together when we value and treasure our diversity we're not just tolerating one another we're celebrating the peace that everybody brings to the puzzle and we're making ourselves vulnerable we're being humble we're putting our idea out there it's the riskiest thing in the world and then we're teachable we're gonna learn from others we're gonna benefit from others we're gonna put it out there but it's not a mood so you stir the creativity any time you want absolutely any time you want because the the creativity of the universe the riches of the treasures of God's grace have been made available to you in the person of Christ the one who knows all things sees all things hears all things understands all things lives inside of you 24/7 and you have an access card to get into the Holy of Holies you know by grace you come but when you get there get more grace and that grace is to get the idea that releases the transformational impact on society so we're breaking these lies off of you in Jesus name are you ready come on just just assume a receiver position whatever that is for you just assume a receiver position and unless you go to the Lord with this haha father god you're so good oh lord we thank you for the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge have been given to us through the person of Jesus Christ through the work of the cross of Jesus Christ through our divine union with Holy Spirit because of the great expansive love of the Father for each one of us a love that never fades a love that knows no bounds Lord we just thank you we thank you we thank you
