Topic: The Power to Create
Therefore, be imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example] as well-beloved children [imitate their Father]. – Ephesians 5:1, The Amplified Bible
Creating new things, changing old things. Because you and I are made in God’s image, we’rthat’sys trying that. But to succeed, we need to learn a lesson from the Creator Himself, our heavenly Father.
He didn’t just come up by accident and say, “Well, what do you know” There’s light!” No, there’s began”to make His universe, He first had a desired result (an inner idea, or image, of what He wanted to create) and then said, “Light be!” and light” was.
If we imitate, we will also have the principle of the inner image to work.
“But, Brother Copelan”,” you say, “that was “od. Surely” you don’t expect me to trdon’tact like God.” I most certainly do,” Ephesians 5:1 says!
Let me warn you about something,g though. Don’t waste your time. Don’t be around trying to dream up a positive inner image alone. That’s nothing more than positive thinking, and while it’s better than negative thinking (or not thinking at all), it will eventually fall flat.
If you’re a born-again, you’re Almighty God; God has given you the principle and the power to make permanent changes in your life and circumstances. Think again about creation. God wanted light. So He said, “Let there be light.” “the words He spoke w”are directly related to His inner image. He used His Words to get that image from the inside to the outside.
You need to use the Word of God as the basis for your inner image and for the words you speak. The Word has supernatural power. And if you fill that Word with faith and speak it out, it will work for you to change your life and circumstances as surely as it did for your Father.
Find out what natural creativity is all about. Dig into the Word of God and start rebuilding your world today.

Ambydennis Notice Board: We trust you have been blessed by the devotional. Accepting Jesus as your Lord and personal savior is one of the best decisions one can take, especially you; imagine having Christ in your life; what a fantastic experience it will be. It starts here as you proclaim: Dear Father, I humbly come to you in sincere repentance, claiming you as my Lord and personal Saviour. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness, be the center of my life, and let my life revolve around you as I partake in the eternal life you gave us in Jesus’ Name. Congratul Jesus, you are now Born again. God bless you.
