The Artist Mindset Makeoverনমুনা

Most artists live out a place of either hoping, waiting, and begging God to do something in their life, or when that doesn’t work, they take matters into their own hands and start working, sweating, and striving to make something happen on their own. Neither is God’s best for life in the Kingdom. It leads to being overwhelmed and a constant state of frustration.

Thankfully, there’s a simple pathway in the Kingdom that goes like this. Out of intimacy with God, we receive revelation by the Holy Spirit in line with our God-given design and our assignment in the Kingdom. When we begin to walk in that, God releases provision for us to do the work He’s called us to do in our life, resulting in lasting fruit, impact, and personal fulfillment. This is the outflow of resting in His presence.

If you're not experiencing that reality in your life, it doesn't mean God is mad at you, that it's not His time or that you've done something to disqualify yourself. Most of the time, it's simply because you've been using the wrong framework for living; one not based on the truth of God's Word. Change the framework you're living from and you can change your experience.

What lies have you believed about your ability to live a life of passion, focus, rest, and provision? Ask God to show you His truth and then create an affirmation to support that new truth. Every time the enemy comes at you with the lies from the past, simply recognize it, repent, replace it with the truth of God’s Word, reinforce that truth over and over, and then rejoice in your new Kingdom reality. Over time, your normal response will begin to align with God’s best for your life.

Read these scriptures in today's devotional and let them sink in to establish a new normal for you regarding your ability to live a life free of overwhelm.
