A Central Hub of Creative Collaboration


As I was in worship this morning, the Lord showed me a hub and had me draw it out on my white board... a circle in the middle with a series of 7 circles around it... each outer circle had an arrow going to and from the inner circle. Defined, a hub is "a hardware device that is used to network multiple computers together. It is a central connection for all the computers in a network... Information sent to the hub can flow to any other computer on the network."

I sensed from the Lord that we are going to be a hub in the Spirit that will be a central connection point for the arts and artists in our city and region. For too long, many artists have been known to be territorial, selfish & builders of their own kingdoms. I believe the Lord is raising up The Worship Studio to be a connection point for the arts for collaboration among all the artists that are currently functioning alone or without much support - to be a community that will love, support, protect and call forth the hearts of artists to take their place in the kingdom.

The main role of a hub is to make connections that yield greater impact. As we serve to connect artists in the Body of Christ, the power, effectiveness and Kingdom impact we desire will increase. Our job is not to control or manipulate, but to connect. As artists come into the hub, they will bring their unique gifting and share that with others and vice versa - each time, the value of the hub grows as a hotbed of creativity and connection. We will begin to see collaboration among artists and artistic disciplines like never before, creating unique works that show forth the Glory of the Father.
