I would like to dedicate this book to our Creator who has given us all such diversity, uniqueness, and destiny as His supernatural sons and daughters. And I would like to dedicate this book to all those who throughout history have listened to the voice of Creator and have fulfilled their unique destiny. Now its up to us to listen and find our path.

First of all, I want to thank my husband, Kevin, who has believed in me as a woman in ministry and has given me wings to pursue my destiny. His legacy and his heart have always been my constant joy. Thanks for believing in me even before I had truly believed in myself!

I would also like to acknowledge my children, Chad, Alexa, and my daughter-in-love, Julia, who are living out their supernatural destiny, transforming people around the world! I not only treasure who they are but the legacy they are leaving behind for others to follow.

I would also like to thank Bethel Church, especially Bill Johnson, Kris Vallotton, and Danny Silk who have taught me how to be free and explore my creative destiny. Thanks for opening me to see the fullness of what every believer can walk in and that the impossible is logical to the sanctified supernatural mind.

Words cannot express gratitude and appreciation for all of the students at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. I have had the privilege to pastor and teach as well as the pastoral staff. Our journey together is what has spurred on this book and has forever been a part of my journey.

Special thanks to Allison Armerding who has helped edit my book. Your understanding of me, as well as your skills, have helped flesh out this book.

Lastly, thanks to my special friends who have been there with me through the processDonna, Valerie, and SheriI love you so much!

Theresas book entitled Born to Create is like a prophetic manifesto inspiring another renaissance. This book awakens the childlike imagination of its readers and challenges each of us to a level of creativity that can only be described as supernatural. Born to Create is also a how to manual that will give you the tools you need to develop your God-given abilities.

Theresa Dedmon has been leading our artists and creative people for eight years. A culture has been birthed out of her ministry that is literally capturing the hearts of people from all walks of life. Some of the most amazing testimonies that Ive ever heard have emerged out of this artistic community. Now Theresa has somehow managed to capture in words the ministry that she has pioneered here at Bethel Church and around the world.

Whether youre a novice or a professional artist, this book is for you. It will inspire, encourage, and equip you to new levels of creativity that you never imagined possible. May the Creator of the Universe meet you in the pages of this book and lead you into the palace of your dreams!

You dont really determine your destiny; you discover it! Born to Create by Theresa Dedmon is possibly one of the greatest tools to help the Church fill the earth with the Glory of God. This book is a must-read for everyone who wants to move from measure to fullness. There is potential, untapped power, unused success, undiscovered wealth, and a world-changer within you that will be released through Born to Create.

God says, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jer. 29:11). Dont waste Gods gift in you.

After reading this book, I no longer have any excuse to not be and do everything that Papa-God has for me. Warning! The world will never be the same!
