When It Takes Longer & Costs More

Does your art feel under attack? If that seems over the top, I’ll rephrase the question. Has your current project taken you longer and cost you more than you anticipated?

When your creativity feels opposed, it's helpful to remember that’s because it is opposed. At least, it is if you’re creating with God. The enemy has opposed the Creator and creation since before time began. Because of his toxic choice to wage war against God, the enemy lost everything…including his creativity.

Yes, he is still conniving. But he’s no longer creative. At least not in the sense of having access to creativity that flows from God. How could anyone’s creativity not suffer a catastrophic loss when it is untethered from the Creator? The enemy hates anything that reminds him of the Creator...including your ability to co-create with God. 

Now, the enemy’s only playground is chaos. His works are filled with lies. Forgettable. 

Your playground with God is creation. Your works are full of life. Eternal.

Yes, Kingdom projects will be opposed. They always have been. Even so, stay with it. What you co-create with God is never meaningless or unimportant. It isn’t just to entertain or even educate. It is actively changing us, those who experience it, and even the atmosphere around us for good.
