About
Hi, Welcome to the Creative Force podcast. In this week’s episode, I speak with Andrea Crayton. Andrea is the founder of Andrea Crayton Ministries and a powerful minister of the Word of God! In this encouraging episode, Andrea shares valuable insight on recognizing your current season and priorities and protecting the word God has given you.
My Takeaways
Our purpose is to be conformed into the image of Jesus. Everywhere we go we should manifest his nature, his character, and his ways.
We are called unto God for relationship.
Our purpose is attached to our identity.
You identify your season through fellowship with God. You can’t hear if you are not in fellowship.
Ask Him Lord what does this season look like for me? And then have an expectation to hear.
Every good idea is not a God idea.
What God tells you to do is an automatic yes if anything interferes with that those are your no’s.
We don’t belong to ourselves.
Say no with the sandwich method.
Things that hold people back from everything God has for them: expectations, comparison, and past failures which lead to fear.
Logos is the written word of God.
Rhema is God’s Word revealed when it becomes quickened to you. God’s Word becomes real to you.
Peter walked on the word, “come.”
Keep reading the Word until the Word comes to life for you!
You need a rhema word!
If God has given you a word guard it! Don’t allow offense in.
Offense is not about offense. It is the enemy trying to steal the Word in you.
Guard your heart by staying in peace.
God and His Word are one.
If God has spoken a word to you it will come to pass! Wait on it, Guard it.
Waiting is an attitude. How am I waiting?

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
