As an INTJ I am interested in restructuring flawed systems through the addition of creative energy to act as a catalyst for change. False barriers, unseen hazards, and stubborn strongholds all need to be removed or repaired for a system to flow freely and work again. Systems can be governmental, religious, institutional, environmental, mechanical, structural, etc but all systems have one thing in common, they are as inherently flawed as the humans who created them. God has provided for redemption through his son Jesus Christ and one of the most powerful tools in his arsenal is an artist who has been prepared as a warrior. Satan’s minions have disabled the spiritual, emotional, and physical systems of many humans and their souls remain trapped in minds and bodies that betray them.
Authentic art and creative problem solving fueled by critical thinking and inspired by God and bathed in prayer has the power to reach deep into the soul and provoke the enemy to leave and then bring forth healing but this power is largely untapped. Using the innate talents granted to me by the ultimate creator I seek to break strongholds in the lives of people, cities, and principalities here on this earth to allow them a chance to reconnect with God in a truly authentic way.
Isaiah 1:17-18
