In my art journey 5 years ago I began by looking at what needs to be added to my natural artistic ability, what is it going to take to get to levels beyond natural talent. I learned from Hebrews 11:1,3 and 6 that I needed to see the intangible and frame up my future by faith until what I see becomes visible. The Holy Spirit drew me to two men in recorded in history who were artisans beyond natural ability. The Spirit of God appointed two men for a distinct commission. To build a temple where His glory could dwell. The design went beyond just wood and brick. It included exotic wood and fabrics as well as stone, silver and gold incorporated in their design work and production. The word says...I have called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and ability, in understanding and intelligence, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship, To devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, And in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of craftsmanship. At first glance I thought these men may have received an artistic anointing just for this commission. A small amount of research I came into a wealth of wisdom about these two men. Bezalel and Oliab. The Spirit of God revealed to me the secret was in their names. The name Bezalel means one who dwells in the shadow of God. The name Oholiab means one who finds habitation with God. My revelation from this is... These men were glory dwellers, they loved the presence of God. This is where they derived there supernatural ability. When I got this revelation I stayed in the presence for 30 days at almost every moment as I started my artistic journey. Presence to start my day, presence in my studio, presence in my car and presence in all my artistic endeavors. I painted beyond my natural ability. I broke through everything I thought was impossible based on my ability. The Spirit of The Lord had me write out a confession to cause me to place my focus on the glory realm. In my five year journey as a full time artist I have had many encounters especially in my studio. I have angels that visit and are present in my studio as I work. The last major encounter was when a prophetess contacted me and she said I see a mantle of wealth coming upon you. The next night in my cold art studio maybe 30 degrees I sat on a simple stool for 3 hours in a glory shower. My body felt the cold but my spirit caught on fire. The mantle of wealth dropped that night. My studio has become a sacred place for me where I am empowered creatively. (The confession below I wrote to help me and others to help them enter the glory realm. Feel free to share and print for use. ) Confessions of a Glory Dweller Mike Tate Father of glory, I commit myself to a lifestyle of dwelling in the glory, saturating in the very essence of Your presence.
