ISSUE #029

Did you know God has an incredible purpose for your art that goes far beyond decoration or hobby? He designed your creativity to be a doorway where Heaven meets Earth. When you create, you’re not just expressing yourself — you’re partnering with the Holy Spirit to release transformation, reveal His heart, and awaken others to His love. That means your art, your hands, your imagination — all of it — is sacred ground where God longs to move.

You were created to bear His image, to be a reflection of His nature in the world. That’s what makes your creativity supernatural. The very act of making becomes worship, intercession, and revelation. So this week, I want to help you rediscover that divine partnership — the joy of creating with God, not for Him, and stepping boldly into the calling He’s placed inside you.

May this week be filled with intentional reflection, creative breakthroughs, and meaningful connection with the Creator who put that beautiful imagination inside you.

In His love and creativity,
Matt Tommey

Airbrushed Faith: The Art of Trusting God’s Timing

This week, meet Steve Nunez, a full-time artist whose vibrant airbrushed paintings celebrate the beauty of God’s creation—and the faith it takes to wait for His provision.

CONNECT

Scripture: “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness.’” — Genesis 1:26 (NKJV)

God’s first introduction to humanity wasn’t as a judge or ruler — it was as an Artist. He created, imagined, shaped, and spoke beauty into being. And then He made us in His image, giving us the same creative DNA. That means creativity isn’t optional — it’s who you are. You are God’s masterpiece, His poema (Ephesians 2:10), created to reveal His beauty and goodness in the world through the work of your hands.

Prayer:
Father, thank You for creating me in Your image — full of imagination, beauty, and divine purpose. I invite You into my creative process this week. Let every brushstroke, every song, every word become a space where Heaven touches Earth. Use my art to reveal Your heart. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

Action Step:
Before you begin creating this week, pause for five minutes of stillness. Ask, “Holy Spirit, what are You creating through me today?” Write down what you sense — then create from that place of partnership.


CLARIFY

Your supernatural calling doesn’t begin with what you make — it begins with who you are. You are an image-bearer of the Creator. When you understand that, your goals, your business plans, even your daily studio routine shift from striving to stewardship. You’re not trying to make something happen for God; you’re cooperating with what He’s already doing.

This week, ask yourself: Am I trying to perform for God, or am I creating with Him? Let His Spirit lead both your inspiration and your direction. The more you align your art with His presence, the more clarity and confidence you’ll walk in.

Action Step:
Review your goals for this month. Which ones feel heavy or forced? Surrender those to God and rewrite them as partnership goals — statements that start with, “God and I are creating…” Need help? Get your Core4 Focus Planner today.


CREATE

Scripture: “The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.” — Job 33:4 (NKJV)

Your creative process is a sacred conversation. Each time you create, the breath of the Almighty flows through you. Just as God spoke light into darkness, He now speaks through your imagination to bring beauty, truth, and revelation to life. You’re not alone in your studio — Heaven is hovering, waiting for your “yes.”

This week, create with expectancy. Believe that God will meet you in the process — not only to inspire what you make, but to use it as a vessel of His love in someone’s life.

Studio Action Step:
Set aside one creative session this week to “co-create.” Begin by praying, “Holy Spirit, what’s on Your heart today?” Then simply follow His lead without overanalyzing. Let intuition and worship guide your movements.


CULTIVATE

As artists in the Kingdom, our calling isn’t just to create—it’s to reveal the nature of God through what we share. That means your art carries prophetic power to speak, comfort, and awaken hearts. Don’t hide that light! Every time you share your art online, display your work publicly, or tell the story behind a piece, you’re extending Heaven’s invitation to those who encounter it.

Think of your audience not as customers, but as people God has hand-picked to receive what’s inside you. Your art is a bridge for divine connection.

Action Step:
This week, post one piece of art online with a short story or Scripture that reveals its meaning. Invite your followers to share how it speaks to them. Watch how God uses that simple act to open conversations of faith.

Listen Now »

In this week’s episode, I unpack how God designed your creativity as a prophetic tool — a sacred doorway where Heaven meets Earth. You’ll learn five key truths about your supernatural calling:

  1. Creativity is God’s nature.
  2. All creativity comes from Him.
  3. God can use any artist — but invites you to partner with Him.
  4. Your art carries prophetic purpose.
  5. You are called to co-create with God.

Key Takeaway:
You’re not creating for God’s approval — you’re creating from His presence. When you realize that, art becomes worship, rest replaces striving, and your studio becomes a sanctuary of transformation.
