Exploring Prophetic Creativity

The creative process isn't just something artists do on the side—it's the fundamental mechanism through which the kingdom of God operates. In this profound exploration of prophetic creativity, Matt Tommey shares revelatory insights from his 30+ years as both a professional artist and worship leader.

Matt unpacks a transformative understanding of creativity as "seeing and agreeing"—perceiving what God is doing through the Holy Spirit and aligning our hearts with that movement. This process becomes the channel through which heaven literally enters earth, whether through music, visual art, business, or any creative expression. When we grasp this principle, mountains move and lives transform.

The connection between faith and creativity emerges with startling clarity as Matt suggests replacing "faith" in scripture with "creativity." Creativity becomes the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Our creative expressions—whether songs, paintings, dance, or entrepreneurial ventures—manifest tangible evidence that what God revealed in the spiritual realm is actually real.

For those seeking to operate prophetically in their creative calling, Matt outlines the balanced approach exemplified by Bezalel in Exodus 31—being both "filled with the Spirit" and "skilled in workmanship." This dual emphasis prevents the frustration of spiritual impression without the skill to express it, while ensuring our technical proficiency remains infused with divine life.

Jesus himself modeled prophetic creativity, operating from the overflow of relationship with the Father, remaining ready to respond in any moment, and making room for supernatural manifestation in ordinary circumstances. His example challenges us to cultivate both structure and spontaneity, leaving space for those moments when the Spirit moves unexpectedly.

Ready to transform your understanding of creativity and experience the supernatural through your artistic expression? Discover how you were designed to co-create with the Holy Spirit and bring heaven to earth through the unique gifts God has placed within you.
