Create Responsibly
To “create responsibly” is to create with intention, sowing toward the things we want to create. The alternative to creating responsibly is creating by default: manifesting our individual realities according to our subconscious, sometimes negative, core beliefs. Without our realizing it, this can often become a “mindless” round-the-mountain regurgitation of outdated patterns, reaping familiar, unwanted results.
To create responsibly (and not just by default), it helps to recognize that everything is energy: thoughts, things, emotions, (negative and positive). Fear is energy. Anger is energy. Anxiety is energy. Frustration is energy. So too are joy, enthusiasm, and expressions of gratitude.
Knowing that our thoughts and emotions are energy is important. This awareness empowers us with a choice - a choice to deliberately transmute and redirect “negative” energy towards “positive” creative outcomes and purposes. We have more control over our emanations than we might realize, and learning to redirect our thoughts and emotional energy can be successfully managed with incremental “relief steps” up the thought / emotional scale. These steps can be aided by obvious action steps such as turning off a broadcast that is causing anxiety, stepping out of a heated discussion to allow for emotions to calm down, going for a walk or moving our physical energy to generate a different emotion, and more.
In order to lay a foundation for consistently “creating responsibly,” it helps to be aware that negative thoughts and emotions are often generated when we look at our lives or experience challenges and notice that we are not getting what we want or the outcomes we desire. We feel the discord of this in our bodies and say, ”This isn’t what I want!” Often, we are quick to give away our creative power by attaching blame, saying, “It / he / she is “making” me feel scared / angry / despairing etc.” (When we do this, we create our own misalignment and disconnect ourselves from our highest self in God.)
The truth is, nothing can “make” us feel a certain way unless we allow it to, and it will be up to each one of us to take charge of our own energy and master it so as to maintain inner calm and optimism in any situation. But often, the bad feelings hit hard and fast, and within minutes, we can find ourselves spiraling downwards into fear, frustration, or feelings of helplessness, struggling to regain the emotional (and physical) equilibrium we were enjoying just a short time earlier. These misalignments and negative outcomes are often important clues that show us we are “creating by default” and not from a place of awareness and empowerment in Christ.
The good news is, we don’t typically get clarity about what we really want to create until what we don’t want is causing us pain. It often takes a confrontation with contrast for us to realize that we are standing in a “weed patch” of our own making - individually, generationally, nationally, or collectively. Awakening isn’t just about feeling peaceful and sounding spiritual. It’s about waking up to the truth of our lives and the part we’ve played in creating those realities. Awakening includes repentance and changing the way we think - saying “the buck stops here” and making a conscious determination to sow kingdom seed into our chaos to reap a bountiful harvest for the future.
We do this the same way our Father did it when he spoke into darkness and chaos to create planet Earth. Just like Creator, we have tools that we can use to intentionally create the world that we want. One of these tools is FAITH, which is always in the “now” - a vibrational (emotion, thought, vision) substance - the evidence of things not yet seen. Another tool is our positive belief - thought - word - attention - action - material seed that we can sow generously into our worlds, hearts, bodies, and atmospheres to create that which we want to manifest. (Genesis chapter 1 gives us a wonderful example of this.)
The doing (making and assembling) of the “exceedingly above all we can ask or think” components is God’s job. He does this “assembling” of our visionary evidence in partnership with the faith power and expectancy within us. (Ephesians 3:20) It is much like a child being knit together in a womb. If we do not “miscarry” that faith substance through unbelief, we can be confident that our God-conceived creations will be birthed in the fullness of time. This outworking of faith is a powerful partnership that establishes Heaven on Earth!
Our job as Creator’s offspring (and as partakers of The Divine Nature) is to CREATE RESPONSIBLY - To sow our attention seed and word seed toward that which we want to reap more of. We have the opportunity to access the Mind of Christ for our daily navigation and to use our powerful tongues to speak life, not death. (Proverbs 18:21) We can exercise the divine tools of God to tear down the mental strongholds that prevent us from experiencing the fullness of God.
The fastest way to start transmuting solidifying negative energy is to get super clear about what we DO want, sow our attention seed toward it, and relentlessly envision and connect energetically with the abundance and emotion we want to experience, fully expecting it to manifest (according to Hebrews 11:1 and Romans 4:17).
Each of us get to do this. Each of us get to work with the tools we have. This is freewill: choosing to use the laws of the universe and the tools that each of us have been given. This is God’s justice. We are not to be deceived. “God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man sows, that he will reap.” (Galatians 6:7)
What do you want? Freedom? Peace? Empowerment? Entrepreneurial liberty? Hands on work experiences? Money? Tangible blessings? Me too. No question about it. I want those things over tyranny and sickness and controlling legislations for sure (and the negative emotions and energetic output that accompany that kind of manifested harvest). Should we expose the unfruitful works of darkness? (Ephesians 5:11) Absolutely, that is part of our calling. Must we stand fast in our freedom? - Completely and without question. It is for freedom that Christ set us free. (Galatians 5:1)
2 Corinthians 10:5 tell us that the weapons (or tools) of our warfare are NOT of the flesh; they are of the Divine. They are our thoughts, beliefs, and energetic connections that align with the limitless Christ in Whom nothing is impossible. They are faith, hope (expectation) and love. These three will always remain because they are the creative tools of God.
We are made in God’s image and likeness and as the “koinonia” managers of the household affairs (Ephesians 3:9) we are invited (and have been from the beginning) to co-create with Holy Spirit the world we choose to create. When we align our energetic output and vibration with God, the walls of resistance that stand before us come tumbling down, and our Promised Land can be occupied. God’s laws are irreversible. We reproduce what we are. Everything is energy. Create responsibly.
