The Supernatural Secret

As we conclude this journey into the artist's prayer life, I want to leave you with this truth that revolutionized my creative practice: true success isn't just making a living from your art—it's making art and a life that flows from Life Himself.

The supernatural secret of the Kingdom is this: what takes years to build in our own strength can be established in a moment by His Spirit. What seems impossible to our natural minds becomes inevitable when we're operating from the secret place. This isn't about being lazy or passive—it's about being positioned.

When you cultivate a lifestyle of pulling on God's glory instead of just pulling business levers, everything changes. Your art carries something different. Your business strategies have unusual favor. Your relationships open supernatural doors. Why? Because you're not just another artist trying to make it—you're a conduit of heaven's creativity.

Remember, only in the secret place will God release the secrets of His heart for you and all you've been called to. He has so much more for you than you can imagine. Don't settle where it's comfortable. Don't get so good at working the system that you forget to work with the Spirit.

Creative Prayer Exercise: Write a commitment letter to the Lord about your creative prayer life going forward. What will you do differently? How will you prioritize the secret place? Be specific about the practices you'll implement. Sign and date it. Put it somewhere you'll see it regularly as a reminder of this holy commitment.

Prayer: Father, I commit to being an artist who pulls on Your glory above all else. I choose the secret place over the public platform, Your presence over my performance, Your ways over the world's strategies. By Your Spirit, not by my might or power, I will create. Use my art to release Your secrets into the earth. Make me a conduit of heaven's creativity. I trust You for the "more" You have for me. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

Final Charge: My friend, if you're thinking about how to grow your creative practice, be more profitable, transition out of that job you hate, or see God use you more powerfully—I promise you, the time you choose to spend with the Lord will be the best investment you ever make.

Take time this week to establish your secret place routine. Maybe you need to come back and say, "Lord, I've been pulling on every lever except the lever of Your glory. I repent. Draw me into Your presence and use me for Your glory."

Remember, you were created to thrive—not through your own strength, but through the supernatural secret of the secret place. Your art, your business, your life—let it all flow from that hidden place with Him.

The world is waiting for artists who create from the secret place, who carry heaven's glory in their work. Will you be one of them?

Stay in the secret place, Create from His presence, And watch heaven invade earth through your art.
