God is calling you to create...

God is calling you to create how do I know this he's calling me to create and as an act of obedience I've created this video and the algorithm seems to think that this video relates to you so by that line of thinking I believe God is calling you to create as well for those who don't know my name is Joshua This is untraditional Gospel this is my first video from being gone for a very long time I was struggling with creation and God opened my eyes and my heart to becoming a Creator yet again this

time I think I have a much deeper purpose though so if you like this Channel and if you like how this video turns out then you should definitely hit the Subscribe button I'll see you along for the journey but there's a lot to cover and we're running out of time anyways I stumbled across a couple verses and I want to share them with you guys and it'll open your eyes to maybe the Revelation that I had that we need to be creators and not consumers if you have your Bible I would suggest you grab it

there's a lot of scripture that's going to be tossed around but just open your Bible to Genesis Genesis 1 uh more specifically Genesis 1:27 it says so God created man in his own image in the image of God he created him male and female he created them okay so we're created in the image of God meaning he gave us things similar to him he gave us duties similar to him if you go back to chapter 1 verse one you'll find out very important information about God read it slow in the beginning God created the heavens

and the Earth one sentence one bar so profound because in the beginning God created God did didn't consume he created you were made in the image of God capitalism will label most of you even you watching this video as a consumer right now you're actually consuming this content God is calling you to be a Creator it's very interesting because in the beginning God created but the Bible also says that the devil is a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour so we have God as a Creator and we have the devil as a consumer very

interesting revelation God is calling you to create in John 7:38 it says that those who believe in him as the scripture have said streams of Living Water will flow out of them does that sound like consumption that sounds like creation you're creating streams of living water based off the living water that's living inside of you God is calling you to create I get it we have to eat we have to receive wisdom we have to receive information and learn from that but why are we learning earning that so that we can become wise and create

for our neighbor man liveth not off bread alone but yet we overeat all the time we think we need food to survive Jesus made it plain and clear that man liveth not off bread alone it's not about consumption it's more blessed to give than it is to receive God wants you in a state of giving how do you give you create you either create a blessing create an opportunity or create some kind of system for others to benefit and you do that with them in mind not yourself if you're creating with yourself in mind then

you're still creating with a heart of consumption because you're creating with the intent to receive your heart is telling on you you have to create from a sense to give for God so loved the world that he gave outward flowing but as a consumer you're consistently inward flowing I want everything to come to me I want it to come to me I want it to come to me this is my own problem y'all I hope that this doesn't come off as me trying to criticize you as much as it is that I'm preaching to myself

cuz I know I'll return to this video for me I've had this problem for years I've been on the side of consumption and it has consumed everything around me including my own will to live and there's a very interesting verse about that in Proverbs 21: 25 it says this the desire of the sluggard kills him for his hand refuses to labor all day long he craves and craves but the righteous gives and does not hold back take this right here just break this down for a second I had to I I read it like five

six seven times before it really clicked for me but here's what I got from it the desire of my Slugger the desire of my laziness or the desire of my consumption created an appetite in me that was greater than what I truly needed but because I consumed so much or was consistently consuming my appetite grew but my hands didn't match my appetite my work ethic didn't match my consumption and therefore that leads to a depletion of re resources how much return do you get on an investment of0 nothing because you have nothing to invest you've

consumed all your resources you've consumed all your time scrolling you've consumed all your money spending it on food and Pleasures you consumed all your friends energy because all you do is complain you're consuming so much that you consume your entire life away from you this was my story and it drove me into a depression because I was consuming and not producing I was a whole influencer y'all I've had this channel for years and I stopped producing I stopped doing exactly what God called me to do and using my voice as a light and it started

to eat me alive because I didn't have the resources I didn't have the will to live I was saying Lord how can I be a blessing if I have no money he was like well you weren't creating anything you have a voice that voice is free it cost me no money to produce content but there's so much to gain from creating this content because one I'm blessing somebody that needs to hear the same message and I'm changing their perspective hopefully I'm changing your perspective and as I change your perspective I'm creating value for you and

if I get better at this process of creating value this exchange of value provides resources skill favor favor because I'm acting in accordance with God I'm creating instead of trying to consume it's more blessed to give than it is to receive that's Bible increases me in skill because the more that I do this the more I perfect the skill of pre preaching and teaching and spreading the gospel and the good news so I'm gaining more skill it's gaining wisdom because as I grow I know I'm not going to be perfect at this I know I'm

going to stumble I know there's going to be some shortcomings and people probably in the comment section will correct me and through that correction I will become wiser through my failures I will become wiser I'm not going to look at those failures as shortcomings and badges of Dishonor or reasons for me to go back into a state of consumption I'm using them as a bouncing board to propel me forward to create create even better than I did before and not only that I want to say bottom of the totem pole monetarily just by doing it

just by producing the content not only can you make a little extra change on here being a producer of some content but don't even think about it from the content standpoint as you produce value for people people are going to come knocking at your door for the value that you hold that creates a cycle of abundance because as they come for the value that you hold they provide value to you they give you more resources but you don't use those resources to consume for yourself you use those resources to create even more opportunities for even

more people to make even more impact on the world that is a true cycle of abundance but if you're in this for yourself you are still in a heart of consumption and a heart of consumption is crazy work I actually made a little circle chart kind of describing what a circle of consumption looks like if you overc consume you become tired the same way that you get the itis when you eat too much food you become tired not only that you ate all the food you didn't save no leftovers cuz you wanted to eat it

all right there as you do that not only do you not have food for tomorrow but you're too tired to work to get more food no resources no work you're lacking then you say to yourself well I want to be in line with you God I want to be a blessing to other people you consumed all the blessings you could have took half that plate and gave it to somebody who was hungry you didn't need all the food same way as you didn't need all the money this is where tithing comes into play some people

have a issue with giving 10% back to God when God gave you 100% you're overc consuming you're living above your means you're living above your needs now I get there's some people in hard situations that might need to consume more but I I can almost guarantee you that if you are diligent and your hands get to working and you become prudent with your finances that your situation will start to change if you start seeking more wisdom with how you work and how you use resources instead of consistently figuring out how you can consume them how

can you use them to serve even more people because as you serve more people you in return get value everyone wants to talk about the law of attraction but let's talk about the law of effect however many people you can effectively change is the exact amount of value which you will receive in return God is calling you to create and not just content not everybody's supposed to be a content creator cont content is cool but it's not for everybody some people can't do well in front of a camera but you can create an opportunity you

can create a program you can create a group you can just create space for someone who needs a person or a voice you can create hope for someone who is hopeless by just helping that person that's begging you for money or for food or for something being that good neighbor you have just created an opportunity for that person to encounter God in the form of a man you are the representative of Christ in every room you walk in to and you can create a sanctuary in a living room it's in you God's in you and

he's looking for you to create that light for someone else when it says a light that's put on a hill is not supposed to be put under a lamp it's the light of God in you shining out you're supposed to create the light for the room God wants you to create so create right now you're spending your time consuming this video let this be the last video that you consume today set a limit on your consumption and as you gain more wisdom and more knowledge and more Treasures as a matter of fact let's talk about

the treasures do not lay up for yourself Treasures on Earth where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal but lay up for yourselves Treasures in Heaven where neither moth nor rust destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal for where your treasure is there your heart will be also should I keep going I'm going keep going the eye is the lamp of the body so if your eye is healthy your whole body will be full of light but if your eye is bad your whole body will be full of

Darkness if then the light in you is Darkness how great is that darkness no one can serve two masters for either he will hate one and love the other or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other you cannot serve God and money when you're in this state of creation y'all it's not about the money God over gain the gain is it's extra that's bonus if anything it's Provisions to keep continuing carrying out God's Mission but once you take your mind off of God and put it on gain once you reach a

certain amount you'll go back into a consumptive state you'll go right back to being a consumer as a matter of fact when your heart is on a state of gain for money you're not even looking at the people as people you're looking at them as dollar signs for your bank account for your consumption you're thinking about the vacation you're about to get off of this person when really you need to be focused on the heart that you're winning for the kingdom that is the true riches that's the real name of the game all this material

stuff tools tools to be exchanged are used in the workmanship that is the kingdom of God so as you create create with the heart and mindset of Christ I'm creating because I wish to serve I'm creating because God said it's more blessed to give than to receive and if I want to be great amongst you then I must be slave to all we're creating from a state of humility we're creating from a state of well-being and good intentions for our neighbor we're creating because we genuinely want to see the betterment of our people that's what

all the great created from Martin Luther King was trying to create change for the people for everybody our great leaders were trying to create change for people not just for themselves so in 2025 don't let this year be a year of consumption God is calling you to a year of creation create stop spending so much time consuming consuming too much food consuming too much content consuming too much gossip consuming too much of this that and third stop devouring God's creation start contributing but yeah that's all I got for this video If you like this video

if you like what this was about if you like the channel go ahead and hit the Subscribe button I'm probably going to be doing more of this not probably I am because the Lord has called me to be a Creator again and this time I'm not holding back because I wish to be obedient so I love you until next time peace I'll see you in the next video
