My Children of Creativity Will Arise:
-Prophetic Word from Cynthia Giles
I had a vision while I was listening to worship music. In the vision, my role in the laboratory represented creative artists who are called to disciple or lead artists and it’s communicating God’s heart to see creatives break free from difficult challenges. I believe the vision is communicating God’s heart and love for His children – for creative artists – to be free! Love you all!
The Vision for Creatives to Arise and Find Freedom:
In the vision, I was in a laboratory with a lab coat on and creative artists were on tables about to be “operated on…” They were paralyzed by fear, anxiety, doubt, shame, and depression.
I asked the Lord… “Why am I inside of a laboratory?”
The response was: “Scientists go into labs to solve problems and all of the creative artists on the tables are paralyzed by their problems. They’ve stopped creating because they feel overwhelmed — in bondage to their problems. Yet, they do not realize that my Spirit and presence is surrounding them like a shield. It is time for my artists to arise like Esther, Joseph, and Nehemiah, for such a time as this.”
As I walked into the laboratory room, there was a dark wall in front of me. I walked up to the first artist I saw and I simply waved my hand over her body. When I did that, she arose from her sleeping state. Standing face to face in front of this artist, I began to administer what the Lord put in my hands to her. I had many items in my hands that would bring her healing. Each item was in a different color. It was like I was a medical doctor working with a patient in need.
I took shackles off her feet. I put my hand on her mouth and I handed her the key around my neck. She began to weep. Her voice was unlocked and she began to speak and tell her story. I spoke words of truth and comfort over her. As if I was a doctor, I physically put bandages over her heart. I put a sword in her right hand and a bible in her left hand. God’s hand reached down – and a “heart transplant” happened in the Spirit. She was given a new heart. When I let out my breath, breath filled her lungs and she began to exhale and release all of her worries and concerns upward to heaven. Holy Spirit’s presence was in the room and filled the atmosphere.
I commanded this artist to “Rise,”… “Get Up…” and “Get Off the Sidelines.” As I began to prophesy over this artist to arise, other creatives in the room woke up and rose from their sleep. The dark wall began to morph into a lighter color as it was gradually going from a darker color to a shining light. Once I was done ministering to the creative in front of me, this same artist left the laboratory and went to find other artists who were struggling. This woman ministered to artists on the street while I continued to walk around the laboratory. Once she was done ministering to other creatives, she returned to the laboratory and brought those artists with her.
All of the creative artists in the laboratory had risen by this point and we were all standing in a semicircle formation with swords in the air. The wall that was shining like a light returned to a dark color. We all collectively jumped through the dark wall – which was no longer, a wall but a screen – a screen that symbolized a movie screen.
Once we were on the other side – we were now all standing next to the Hollywood sign – We all began to lift each letter from the ground. Together, we removed one of the “L’s” and changed the sign to “Holywood.” We heard a voice from heaven resound as we stood there and God commanded us to go up the mountain. After He commanded us to go up the mountain and we finally made it to the top – God separated us from each other – set apart – yet with unity in the spirit.
We were all released into boardrooms, television sets, and executive rooms. As we traveled throughout different parts of the city, God was using each of us in a specific sphere of influence for kingdom purposes.
I saw the artist I first ministered to praying and prophesying on the set of a television show in between scenes. This artist was an extra at first – rather hidden – but God’s eyes were hovering over her and she began to receive uncommon favor and promotion in the Spirit because of her integrity, kingdom minded mission, and focus to be a light in a dark place. This artist spent time learning how to trust God’s timing and although the enemy kept tempting her to look at the watch on her hand, she refused to look at the watch on her hand while she was an extra on set.
The enemy kept whispering… “Look at your watch” … “Look at your watch…” The enemy’s voice transformed into accusation … “God’s forgotten about you.” “It’s too late for you now.” “Why bother to pursue your purpose?” Again, the enemy defiantly accused her… “Look at your watch…” … “Do you see how much time has passed?”
She constantly looked upwards in spite of the “waiting season” she found herself in and she was found many days making intercession to God in her secret place with Him. As her influence increased, her worship and intercession increased. And so, she went from being an extra to being a main character on a hit television show.
It did not make sense to others. The connections and favor she was experiencing was supernatural. She was being elevated to platforms of high prominence. She was being elevated with less experience – but it was her spirit of excellence and faithfulness to God that caused the “Kings and Queens” of the earth to be drawn to her. God proclaimed in the atmosphere “favor isn’t fair.”
God began to say, “I will use what the world sees as foolish to confound the wise. I will use celebrities, as well as media and entertainment professionals to communicate my truth and love to a broken and hurting world. The religious will be upset by this unusual activity that will take place. They will throw stones with their words and say, “this one cannot be used because of what they have done.” But, I the Lord, will silence all of the naysayers. I, the Lord, will silence all of the critics. I will use the ones who are making Me first place in their hearts to influence this nation.
I am not looking for perfect people. I am looking for people I can trust. I will give my kingdom minded creatives international platforms through social media to light this world on fire with the consuming love of God. For this is the season for my artists to come out of hiding, out from the background, out from backstage, and out of the pit. I, the Lord, am bringing them to the front. No longer will my creatives remain bound by insecurity, fear, shame, depression, comparison or any other chain. I am breaking off their chains and setting them free. I am waking them up from apathy, hope deferred, and disappointment. My artists will arise.
God Will Use Kingdom Minded Creatives for Digital Influence & Innovation to Bring Revival to the Youth:
Many of the youth who are consumed by the digital world will turn their hearts back to God because of the faithfulness of my kingdom minded creative. The kingdom minded creative will develop projects that are multi-dimensional not one-dimensional. The projects will carry many themes that everyday people relate too. The projects will not be “cookie-cutter.” The projects that will be birthed through my kingdom minded creative will be “out-of-the-box” and supernatural.
The projects will reach youth because of my children’s desire for authenticity and unfiltered truth. As they create authentic work, this same work will illuminate the true power and source of the only Answer to life’s problems.
I am removing the church’s false perspective that children must wait until they are older to be used by Me. I am filling the youth and children with prophetic utterances and creative expressions that will shift dead atmospheres into atmospheres that come alive by my Spirit. I am using their purity of heart and the honesty of their tongue to facilitate healing within the family unit.
These artists are a remnant because they will not be looking for a platform or a “name for themselves….” They will be running after Jesus and Jesus alone. The seasons of testing and trial they previously went through have prepared them for the season that is coming and the promises that will be fulfilled. They chase after truth, wisdom, integrity, and fruitfulness. And, yes, they will bear much fruit through their actions and obedience. This remnant of artists will arise from their pits and use entertainment, media, and online platforms to communicate my heart and release my expression – nature – knowledge and character.
Repentance for Rejection of Artists by the Church:
I, the Lord, will also convict Christians to humble their hearts and repent for the critical and harsh judgment of the entertainment industry. I will lovingly convict my church to repent, for they left the industry in the hands of the wicked and then criticized those who do not know me yet to change, without even changing themselves. For the Lord will say, “many of the Christians who are critical of the industry are the same Christians who are watching the content they claim to be so adamant about rejecting. I the Lord hate hypocrisy and wrongdoing. I am looking for pure and humble hearts.”
My Children Will Encounter Me Through Creativity – Creativity Must Be a Part of Worship
I will use the artists who used to be in the corner of the church in worship services and prophetic atmospheres. My church will repent for thinking the move of God is a “formula.” My ways cannot be put into a “formula.” I, the Lord, am a God of sudden surprises and mysteries.
My creatives will be undignified in their worship. As this offends religious mindsets, my plan for creative worship will remain. For the church will need to move out of tradition and worldly wisdom and focus on exalting my name and Lordship.
As my name is exalted and worship and praise is illuminated through various expressions, a revival will begin to take place in individual hearts. One by one, I will fill my church with a hunger for holiness again. I will fill my church with a hunger for righteousness and obedience. I will strip my church from complacency and a benchwarmer mentality. My church is coming off the bench. For too long, we have had “one-man” movements. I, the Lord, desire to move in teams. Teams of people will come together to worship me.
Worship will no longer be one-dimensional either – with worship songs only – but I desire to fill my house with multi-dimensional praise – like a prism of color – with Light – so my expressions are in multiple colors (diverse) but come from one source and the same light.
Do not reject my Spirit and what I desire to do through my laid-down lovers. I am elevating artists and no longer should they feel like they must go to the world to express what is in their hearts. The church mistakenly thought they were simply rejecting the “art form,” but they were actually rejecting the “artist…” For the artist who I sent to you was my messenger and prophetic intercessor. There is a community of artists that have been walking away from the church with an overwhelming sense of rejection and it is my desire for their hearts to be healed and their artistry released. I, the Lord, desire to heal artists from the rejection they have experienced from the church.
The church will begin to rest in the revelation that my artists whom I love are the storytellers, prophetic intercessors, and glory carriers for the move I desire to do through my people. It is time for my children of creativity to arise – as my children choose sonship and healthy identity in the Son, I will promote them by my hand and nothing can stop this elevation. For my artists are coming out of the caves and standing atop the mountains.
I am Raising Up Leaders with a Heart to Disciple Creative Artists
I, the Lord, am raising up “Creative Disciples” in this hour. They will be commissioned and sent out to build creative collectives and spaces of “habitation/dwelling” of my presence. My presence will reside at their meetings and the authority of my name will be exalted and glorified.
These creative disciples will not only disciple creatives who are broken and lost, but they will be my messengers and advocates for a renaissance of the arts in this nation.
They will speak up on behalf of artists who have been rejected by the church or creatives who’ve been broken by problems, trauma, and adversity.
These creative disciples will bring in the fresh truth of the Word of God to my people. It is the season for my creative to learn spiritual maturity… to not only worship Me in expression, but also worship Me through submitting themselves to the principles and truths hidden in my word. For when my creative opens the word of God, light will overflow from the pages and a spirit of revelation will hit their hearts. Their eyes will open to the cracked areas of their soul where they have been compromising my Word for the comfort of their own “false truth…” … a false truth, which is a mix of the world’s ideas, human intellect, and pride.
My creatives have been compromising My truth for the instant gratification of sin – often valuing personal opinions and idolizing cultural standards over the authority of My Word. I desire for my creatives to walk in the truth so they may walk in the fullness of love and freedom. Love is truth and truth is freedom.
I love My creatives and I am cutting off compromise in this season and causing my artists to lean into Me with a greater trust in who I am and who they are called to be. My creative disciples will build empires and systems – they will facilitate new waves of encounter – so that people all around the world will be touched through media and entertainment for My glory.
I, the Lord, am a jealous God and I am jealous for the heart of my creatives. I am lovesick to see creatives return to Me and make Me the first place in their hearts again.
It’s Time for Creative Gifts to Come Off the Shelf! Pick Up Your Creative Tools!
Many of my creatives are weary, dejected, intimidated, and afraid. Many of my creatives have put their spiritual gifts on the shelf or do not consider themselves artistic. I, the Lord, am removing this lie from their mind and filling their ears with the truth of who I have called them to be. No longer will they let people tell them to hide their gifts. Spiritual gifts and spiritual tools are coming off the shelf and out of the corner. Pick up your creative tools. My creatives are coming out of the dry season of hope deferred and disappointment and stepping into a sweet season of promises fulfilled and the overflow of my presence.
I am Affirming the Identity of My Creatives
Do creatives know who they are in Me? I am affirming the identity of my creatives. When they look in the mirror – they do not recognize themselves because they wear trauma and a painful past as a scarlet letter. This lie has kept them bound in a position of shame instead of surrender.
Yet, my blood has covered even the worst memory they can think of. They are covered in my blood – and the only “letter” worthy of covering them today is the Word of God. My love letter to them speaks a better word over their life and my Word redeems their soul.
I am leading my creatives into a season of knowing who they are in Christ, which will give them the courage to live boldly in their creativity – free from compromise and free from an orphan spirit.
I, the Lord, am lifting their hearts back up again. My artists who are perplexed will no longer wear a mask – but as they look to Me as their hope, their face will be radiant like the sun.
Psalm 34: 4-5
I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
Artists, as the sun rises, this is your season to arise. Creative Disciples, this is your season to shepherd, lead, and love artists so that the story God is writing can manifest through His people and His name may be exalted throughout the earth.
