Hmm I understand what you're getting at. But if we give the whole matter a new point of view.
If you wish to further his kingdom, you wish to reach out to more people, correct?
Then that must also mean that in order to get a larger audience, your main priority must be to please your audience, and make your performance magical.
I can tell that your ideology is to have God as a first priority in all matters, but if you in a way put your audience in a first priority, in order to gain a larger audience, you in a sense also put God as your first priority. Do you see where I'm getting at?
I'm trying to change your way of seeing things because I truly do believe that you should put your very focus on pleasing your audience with your magic. If your intentions of doing so is to be able to reach out to a larger audience, to spread the word of God, then so be it, you will still have amazing performances.
Try to incorporate your beliefs and messages into your magic, but if the decision between a longer pattern, or a more efficient effect comes up, pick the more efficient effect. You should still be able to do that, to be able to reach to a larger audience, to be able to... you get my point.
I'm just trying to be helpful in this matter and the first things that pops up to my mind when you say that you wish to "plant the seeds" are routines with long patterns that are overloaded with dead time.
