As we cry out to God from a place of hunger for Him and His presence, and from a place of desperation for His answers, He in His extravagant mercy, pours out on us everything we need for life and godliness. His grace is sufficient, His kindness is unending, and His love is everlasting. As we pull on heaven, heaven responds. No matter how great the fire is that we are in, He is the 4th man in the fire. He is with us and is pouring out His refreshing grace and hope upon us.
The Lord is calling His people to a deeper place of intimacy with Him and deeper intercession for our lives and for others. He is ready to pour out upon us and this land.
“If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
The Hebraic month of Elul is also known as the time of the year when the King would leave the comforts of His palace and come and set up a tabernacle in the fields with the common people. This is the month where the children of Israel could skip all the normal protocol and just come as they are before the King and make their petitions. Its a special time of year for us to experience the closeness with the Lord right in the midst of our circumstances. This time of year is a reminder of the beautiful love story Jesus has with His Bride. He wants to meet with you and dance with Him in His fields of grace!
It’s a new ERA and it’s time to decree a thing! His voice is like the sound of many Waters. He thunders from the heavens. We need to recognize the voice of God and respond and decree what heaven is saying.
"See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven. And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heaven ” This expression, “Yet once more,” denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire." Hebrews 12:25-29
You are a weapon in the Father's hand. Your mouth is the sword! Your decree is breaking up the fallow ground. As a son of God, you carry the DNA Yeshua. Because of His covenant with you as a son of God, He is the wall of fire around you and the glory in your midst (Zech 2:5). He is your protector and He is your shield. It's time to RISE and SHINE and let your LIGHT shine before men, because the GLORY of the Lord has risen upon YOU! The Lion of Judah is your source and your General. He is giving you the strategies and the words to release that will bring freedom and breakthrough for others and the land. His words come through you! Speak the words prophesy the future.
It's time to be on the offense and no longer on the defense. "'No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; and every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their vindication is from Me.' declares the Lord." (Is 54:17)

You are a “releaser of hope”, a Lighthouse. You shine light in the darkness so that people see. You help others see themselves from the Father’s perspective. Many people come to you when they are going through turmoil and you bring the revelation of the Father that brings such peace to the chaos and waves. You unwrap and deliver scrolls. You unlock the hidden and secret things of the kingdom by pulling back the veil so that others may see. The creative gift within you is a mighty weapon in the hand of our Father. You dispel darkness with truth.
You have a passion to bring wholeness and comfort to God’s children. You want them to know who they are in Christ. You are uniquely gifted to bring encouragement and shalom to the family of God. Your heart to share the revelation and insight you have gained is so beautiful to the Father. Your heart is, “Freely you have received, freely give.” You have mothered some, but more is coming to you.
You are in a season of stretching. The tension you are experiencing is the Father stretching you. He is stretching out your tent pegs and lengthening your cords. He is expanding your gift and your influence. This is often uncomfortable, but necessary to move beyond where you currently are to where He is taking you. The Lord is reordering your priorities and adjusting your schedule. It feels as though you are on the altar because you are. But He is the fourth Man in the fire with you.
There is in increase coming to your prophetic gift. Your sight is being refined and sharpened. More clarity is coming to. Your desire for visitation is upon you.
I pray great grace to you as you transition in this time. The fruit will be abundant and plentiful.
“It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him.” Daniel 2:22
“Come, house of Jacob, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.” Isaiah 2:5
We are at the Gate Beautiful, the "right time gate". I saw the gate shaped as a keyhole. The Lord is giving you a key for this new era. It's time to use the key He has given you. There is lightning in the sky, for the Lord said it is by His hand and His Spirit that you will receive the promises. It's not by might nor by power but by His Spirit. He is faithful to complete every good work He has begun in you. He will part the waters and make the way. He is the Waymaker.
“The Lord is my Rock and my fortress and my deliverer.” (2 Sam 22:2) I will put my trust in Him. Though the storms rage and the sea overwhelms me, I will not be afraid. He is my safety in times of trouble. He is my protector and my defender. His glory covers and surrounds me like a shield.
“He also brought me forth into a broad place. He rescued me because He delights in me.” (2 Sam 22:20)
The Father is raising up a company of eagles that will see and hear clearly what heaven is releasing and speak forth Truth. The Lord is opening your eyes to SEE more than you've ever seen, and to see from a higher place. He's opening your eyes into the heavenly realms so that you can decree from that perspective. The Lord is releasing fire from your mouth that will burn away the darkness. As an eagle, you are no longer just soaring high in the heavenlies but you have the authority to attack and destroy darkness. It's time to make waves and stir things up!

Each one of us carry a measure of the light of God. As we come together, the brightness of our light is exponential. We need each other. We are better together. We are a lamppost for one another. We help each other see more and more of the path God has laid out for us. His word is a lamp until our feet and a light into our path. The canopy over us is the promises of the Lord. Keep your lamp full of oil.
"This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls." (Jeremiah 6:16)
I hear the Lord say about you that you are “Healers of the heart”. You desire people to know the Lord in all His goodness. You are full of love and compassion. I see you as a tree of life rooted in the River of God. You have made the Lord your firm foundation and so your roots are established and go very deep. Your branches make a covering and shade for others to come and rest and find sanctuary in. “It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and THE BIRDS OF THE AIR NESTED IN ITS BRANCHES.” (Luke 13:19)
Wholeness and freedom are very important to you both. You desire for people to walk out of the old and walk into the new Jesus has paid for them. You carry a beautiful expression of patience that truly shows the love of the Father to everyone you meet. You are and will continue to become spiritual parents to many. There is a great need for mothers and fathers in the kingdom and you have done well. The Father is expanding your reach and influence among young people. Even as your own children are growing and stepping into the next chapter of their lives, it is increasing your availability and capacity to love on others.
Daughter, you are a worshiper and full of creativity. You have just begun to tap into the expression the Lord has for you in the arts and dance. Worship is very healing refreshing for you, and the Lord desires for you to share that expression with others and help unlock healing and wholeness in them through the arts as well.
Son, you are a watchman anointing. You carry much wisdom and discernment. This is the time for you both to pray together for yourselves and for others. The Lord will begin to increase the downloads and instructions for both of you as you pray together. He will show you which people the Lord has called you to mother and father. Many will be drawn to you, but the Lord will show you which ones He has assigned to you.
Separately you are both strong and anointed, but as ONE you are an unstoppable force in the kingdom!
“Therefore, I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” Rom 12:1-2
You are a lover of the Word and the Spirit. You are a seeker of truth and love to unlock the principles of the Word of God. You desire for others to ascertain and grasp hold of what the Father is unfolding. You love revelation. You desire to uncover the secrets of the kingdom and enjoy bringing others along with you. You love to travel and experience life. You are not satisfied in just learning about things but desire to experience for yourselves. As a prophetic intercessor I see you getting your feet on the ground and even collecting things from your experiences as treasures. I saw a tallit for you. This signifies His covenant with you and His wings covering you. It is a picture of you being a priest unto the Lord. It signifies prayer and intercession. White is the color of love, purity, and holiness. Blue is the color of revelation and heaven. I see the tallit covering you as you bring wholeness and healing to others. The menorah is the light of God shining brightly through you. You carry this light everywhere you go. The oil in the lampstand is the anointing of God that you have paid the price to receive. The olives have been pressed and crushed to produce the precious oil. Yellow is the color of the hope you bring.
Yeshua is giving you deeper understanding of covenant, covenant roots and generational blessings. I see you even teaching and imparting to others the revelation He is giving you. You are a minister of the gospel of reconciliation and you have a deep love for people and seeing the ONE new man coming forth.
“For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death enmity.” Eph 2:14-16
“I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.” Gen 12:3
I see you like a waterfall. Beautiful, peaceful, and full of grace and yet strong and powerful at the same time. Jesus is your Source and you live from the River of Life. You are not afraid of taking risks because you know the One who is with you in everything you do. Creativity and love flow out of you. Everywhere you go and everything you put your hand to comes to life. (Ez. 47) The rainbow colors are the multiple facets of you as well as the covenant you have with Jesus. You see others through that lens and desire for them to know and experience Him like that. Those that are thirsty can come to you and receive refreshment and encouragement. In young and old alike, you can see the God potential in them and in their situations, which brings so much hope and peace to others.
You are full of passion and that is reflected in everything you do. The joy of the Lord is your strength. And your soul cries out for “MORE, MORE, MORE LORD. More of You and more of Your presence.” You are not satisfied with the status quo. You desire the deeper things of God and long for more of Him in you and in others. Deep calls unto deep. Your heart is for manifestation and demonstration of the kingdom. You want to see with your natural eyes the life of God around you. You a strong prophetic gift. You see Him in everything. You have eyes to see and ears to hear and a heart to know the will of the Father. You have been faithful to guard the hearts of those he has entrusted to you (even when others would not). The Father is increasing your prophetic vision and increasing the anointing on your words. I see the ROAR of the waterfall increasing in volume and impact. The Father wants your voice to penetrate the darkness for the darkness cannot comprehend it. Your words will not only bring life, but destroy the works of the enemy.
“But an hour is coming, and NOW is, when the true worshipers will worship in spirit and in truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.” John 4:23-24
Peace Is one of the most precious gifts the Lord has given us. Jesus is the Prince of Peace. He had given us His covenant of peace. Peace like security Even in the midst of chaos and turmoil… Even in the storms of life. He is our peace. God's peace looks different than the "world's peace". It's spiritual. It's not rational or logical. You can't comprehend it with human understanding. You must apprehend it with your spirit man.We need to allow the Prince of Peace to rule our hearts and minds. That is lordship. Allowing him to be Lord over our minds as well as our circumstances.
You desire for people to walk in wholeness and oneness with the Father. Because of your tender heart people feel very safe with you. You have walked through many highs and lows with the King and so you have experienced His faithfulness. Because you have experienced the restoration power of God you desire that for others. You are so full of love and compassion for God’s children. You want every to know the joy and peace that comes from walking in wholeness.
You have walked through the fiery testing and have done well. That is why the Father can trust you with people’s hearts and souls. You have a mother’s heart and nurture people to life. Because you love well, He is increasing your authority expose and deal with root issues. He is expanding your sphere of influence. Intercession is an important role the Lord has called you to. You are a watchman and a gatekeeper. He is giving you a greater understanding of those roles and your part in them for this next season.
I saw you as an oak of righteousness. You love justice and truth and you are deeply rooted in the kingdom. You desire for the kingdom to grow and expand one person at a time. As an oak you will reproduce oaks in the kingdom. Fruit is very important to you. You want to see fruit in peoples’ lives and see that it remains.
“You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.” John 15:16
You are a lover of truth. You desire for the Father’s children to know the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Your heart is for freedom, and as an intercessor, you long for others to grasp the height and the depth of the love of God. You desire people and even the land to be set free from the chains of the past. I see the Father taking you on spiritual journeys with Him to unlock the land from the enemy. The Lord has marked you as His own and everywhere your feet step belongs to Him.
He has given you strong sight to see in the realms of the spirit. You are very sensitive to the spirit, and can even feel what others are going through. He shows you His heart for others because you are one that can be trusted. You are very nurturing, and so you mindful of people’s souls, and you take great care to protect them. He is leading and guiding you as you walk with Him. You are leading others along so they know the plans He has for them. He has given you a spirit of counsel so that you may help them see along their path so that they step safely and securely.
“But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.” John 16:13
“So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” John 8:31-32
You are a deep well. A reflection of heaven. A place for others to come and drink and receive refreshment and life. The Lord is calling you to not only affect the individuals that come and drink, but also the surrounding territory. As people come and get filled, they are to be sent out to touch and transform the land. Your worship and intercession is to transform the region."Your kingdom come! Your will be done, as it is in heaven."
I see you like Mary sitting at the feet of Jesus feet hanging on His every word. You desire deep intimacy with the Father. You are a worshiper. I see you like the alabaster jar of costly perfume being poured out for the Lord. You do not seek the approval of men, but only the Lord’s. You give freely as the Lord leads and desire to fulfill His heart. You love deeply and passionately. You know the cost and have paid the price. The Lord has done so much in your life and you desire for others to learn who they are in Christ and all that He has done for them as well. You have a gift of discernment and can recognize the false because you know and have experienced the authentic.
“But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.” Phil 2:17
“For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods.” 1Chro 16:25
Ascending the mountain of the Lord is not always easy. At times it is strenuous and difficult. The anointing of God comes at a price. Just like the process of making oil, there is pressing and crushing. At each level there are new challenges and obstacles. But as you set your foot securely in Him, you will not slip or fall. Trust Him at each point and allow the process that is required. The Father is calling you up higher and higher. Greater dreams, greater encounters, greater mantles. "Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord of hosts." (Zech 4:11)
The Lord is your Rescuer and your Redeemer. He is the Light of the world. He has called you out of darkness and into His marvelous Light. The enemy always tries to steal your hope because Jesus has called you to be a light of hope. (The enemy always attacks us in the areas of our calling.) Jesus has called you to go into dark places and pull people into the light. You are to be a ray of sunshine in the midst of other people's distress. He has called to be so full of JOY that you are overflowing. He desires you to trust Him with your whole heart. He is faithful and will never let You down. He is not like man, He will never leave you or betray you. He is your protector and your safe place. A diamond is forged in the darkness. Intense heat and pressure forms a beautiful, shining, diamond. You are God's diamond. The enemy will tell you you're still just a lump of coal, but the truth is you've already come out of that place. Hard work and sacrifice has never detoured you. When people say you can't that pushes you to prove you can. All of your efforts will be rewarded. You will see the fruit of your labors. You're driven because the Father has given you an overcoming and persevering spirit. The butterfly is new life and freedom. Orange is perseverance and harvest.
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
(James 1:2-4)
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."
(Hebrews 12:1-3)
This was painted in Ohio. The state motto is "With God all things are possible." It's also birthplace for the pioneers of aerospace. (There are two layers to this painting). First the eagle and the sun. We are in a new Era. It is time to soar like an eagle higher than you ever have and to see in greater dimensions. See from the Father's perspective. The second layer is the sword and the shield. Once we see, then we decree! The sword is your decree. Release the word of the Lord from your mouth. With your shield of faith speak forth in power and authority.
See and decree. Prophesy what you see. Create with your words. It's time to move mountains! (Mk 11:33) "The Lord is our sun and shield." (Ps 84:11)
You are a diamond in the hand of the Father. Like a diamond you are very multifaceted and reflect so many facets of God’s light and character. Creativity, beauty, strength. Creativity flows out of you in many different expressions. The light of God shines out of your art, song and dance. It brings peace and joy to all those who experience the Father’s heart through your gifts. The beauty and brilliance of your light shines so brightly that it even draws the attention and favor of those that do not yet know the Father’s love.
Also, you are a strong leader who fights for justice and truth. You are a voice for the voiceless and desire all of God’s children to live in wholeness and freedom. Your strong sense of discernment brings to light the things the enemy wants to hide. Just as a diamond can cut glass, so can your gift cut through the enemies lies and bring healing and restoration in the hearts and minds of others.
A diamond is created through heat and pressure, and your life reflects a similar journey. What the enemy meant for harm the Lord has turned around for His glory and purposes.
You are a beautiful example of dedication and devotion to God. You walk in boldness and confidence in who you are in Him and who He created you to be.
“You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, nor shall your land any more be desolate; but you shall be called ‘My delight is in her’, and your land ‘Married’; for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married.” (Is. 62:3-4)
You will know God not only as Father, but you will know Him as friend. You will know the heart of the Father and encourage others to stay on the path of righteousness. You are one to stand as a “standard bearer”. You are called to be a voice in the earth. You are a leader and others will be drawn to you. You are joy and love to laugh. You are full of wit and humor. Your humor will help soften difficult situations for others. You are creative and resourceful. You have the ability to find quick and clever ways to overcome difficulties. No mountain is too high for you. You are fearless and adventurous. You are full of energy and can hardly stand still. You are a great resource to the Lord. You are a Mighty Man of God and the light of God shines brightly through you.
Yellow is the color of hope. Green is the color of life and healing. Blue is the color of heaven and revelation.
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the GLORY of the Lord has risen upon you.” Isa 60:1
You are a ray of sunshine! You brighten everyone’s day. The joy of the Lord is your strength. You love to laugh and laugh to love. You are like a thermostat; you change the climate of a room. You are an atmosphere shifter. You see things from the victorious heavenly perspective.
You are very observant, and as a giver you see the needs of others and don’t hesitate to meet them. You want others to see the goodness of God and the generosity of the Father. You know the Lord as Promise Keeper. You have stood and continue to stand upon His covenant promises. The Lord has been so faithful to you and you desire others to experience Him that way. As an ambassador of Christ, you want to demonstrate the unconditional love of God. He is a GOOD GOOD Father. Your heart is that when people encounter you, they experience the Father…and they do! Even your hugs radiate His love. The Father is so pleased with you. Well done, good and faithful child.
It's harvest Time! Harvest Time for individuals, harvest Time for churches, harvest Time for Mississippi! Time to cast your nets again. there's so many coming into the kingdom we need each other to help pull in the catch (two boats). Prodigals are coming home! It's time to declare it and call them in (Is 43:5-6). He's calling his sons and daughters from far. The Lord is restoring families and restoring what the enemy has stolen. Mississippi has had identity confusion. The Lord says prophesy to the wind! Prophesy to the land! Prophesy to your family! The Father has put a sword in your mouth and it's time to use it.

You love to have fun and enjoy life and family. You work hard and play hard. Family is very important to you. Your heart is to keep Christ the center of your home. I see the family gathering together to worship and sharing the life of God. The Father is very pleased with the way you are parenting your children. You are seeking His guidance and following His leading. The Lord is using this time as a time for training and equipping you for the future as a couple. You are a strong kingdom minded couple that the Lord is using to touch the lives of many. You carry a spirit of adoption, and that makes you a safe place for others. Many will seek you out for wisdom and council for you carry the heart of the Father and desire the mind of Christ.
A tree is a symbol of strength, stability and covering. It is shade from the scorching heat and shelter from storms. It is a home for many creatures as well as a place for others to take refuge. It is a fun place for enjoyment, refreshment, and rest. You are that tree.
“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches .” Matthew 13:31-32
Daisies symbolize innocence and purity. They also represent motherhood and new beginnings. The Father has given you a kind, nurturing and gentle spirit. He sees you as a mother to many. You are full of compassion and have a heart to hear the burdens of others. You are a faithful friend. I saw David’s harp. For like David you are a worshiper. You love to sit in His presence and be with your Savior. Like David, you carry wisdom beyond your years. People trust you and look to you for council and guidance. You are gentle in correction and understand the importance of a soft answer. You love deeply, passionately and fully. I saw the field of flowers representing the place of rest and joy in the Lord. Take time to rest and enjoy the precious season you are in. He has anointed you and is filling you to overflowing. His goodness is chasing after you. He is leading and guiding you by His Spirit. In Him is perfect peace.
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Ps. 23
You are a weapon in the hand of the Father. You love deeply and full of compassion. You desire the will of the Lord to be fulfilled in the earth. As an intercessor you stand in the gap for others and your territory and yet you recognize the importance of putting your hand to the plow. As a seer you see in the spirit, but you see needs in the natural as well. You love keys, and one of the most powerful kingdom keys is love. Love is an action. Love is a weapon.
Family is very important to you and you have even been family to those who do not have a natural family. God puts the solitary in families and you have stepped up to the plate time and time again. The glory of the Lord flows out of you.
“Well done good and faithful servant, you were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.” (Matt 25:23)
You have stewarded well the hearts of those the Lord has entrusted to you and therefore the Lord is increasing the grace of your gift and your anointing. He is calling for His Bride to stand up strong against the plans and assignments of the enemy. He is going to be giving you dreams that will be strategic for intercession in this next season. He is going to be giving you messages of hope to encourage others that are struggling with life’s circumstances. You will be given words of peace that will settle the winds and chaos in people’s minds. You know and love the word of God and it will increase flowing more and more out of you as Rivers of living water. You have been faithful with the little and the Lord is stretching out your tent pegs and increasing your sphere and your boarders.
You are out of the box. You march to the beat of your own drum. You love individuality, and enjoy seeing people express themselves as they truly are, as Father God sees them. I even see you beating a drum as a worshiper, writer, and an intercessor. Worship is a weapon, and you understand the power of sound and how it confuses the enemy. You love the Holy Spirit and will do whatever He asks to get the job done. You are not afraid to take risks for you know that is where the fruit is. As a writer I see you releasing the sound of heaven as you articulate life and truth. IMPACT! You are full of compassion and have a heart to help the disenfranchised and those that others may not see. Because you have been faithful with little, He is about to increase your measure. You are a pioneer and the Lord is increasing the borders of the sphere of your writing. He is giving you new jurisdiction. You will reach many more people with your writing. He will be downloading strategies to share your work. He’s clearing the path before you and making the way.
Faithful, faithful, faithful. The Father calls you faithful. You love deeply and are a faithful friend.
You are passionate and full of life. You do not do anything half way. Whatever you put your hand to, you do it to the fullest. You love deeply and live passionately.
The Father wants you to know that you are a good wife and mother. You are very nurturing and attentive. The Holy Spirit is leading to parent with your gift. The prophetic is a powerful tool for the family as well as for the family of God. The focus for this season is your family.
You are a seer. You have eagle eyes to see from the heights. The Father created you to be a forerunner. You are unique and do not fit in any box or mold. You were created to stretch out your wings and soar. He is increasing your intercessory gift. It does not look like what you have seen before. He will show you the desires of His heart that He will entrust to you to steward in the secret place. You are carrying His heart and He is carrying yours.
You are coming into a season change. It is time to step into the new season the Lord has for you. You are coming out of the night season and flying high into the day! You are coming from a dry season into a season of harvest. It is time for the fruit that you have long to taste to be visible and tangible in your hands. I see you being transformed by His grace from glory to glory. The butterfly is you soaring up and beyond what you know is possible in the natural. The Lord is calling you to greater heights in the spirit and greater trust in the natural. He has so much more for you to do, and now He is calling you to Himself. He wants you to know Him as Father, Husband, and Friend. He calls you His friend. I hear the Lord saying “Come away with Me. Let me show you things from My perspective. Let Me show you things from My eyes. I want to give you My eyes.” The butterfly is blue for the color blue is revelation. You are about to understand things like you have never understood before. It is like the veil is coming off in this season and you will see. Welcome to the Light of day!
2 Cor. 3:17-18 “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.”
We have an unlimited supply of amounting because Yahweh is the Source. Like the widow with the small amount of oil; she poured and poured into vessels and it never ran out until she ran out of vessels. Let us continually pour into others. Let us steward well the Anointing and keep our vessels pure.
I saw you as a brown horse. Brown is the color of humility, servant and pastor. You are a humble servant of the Lord that loves well and encourages many. I heard, “Worship warrior”. You have a heart for worship and you use worship to lift your soul when things are difficult. You have been through many battles and yet through it all you have learned to trust the Lord. “If God is for us, who can be against us?” You may not always understand the why, but yet you remain strong, steady and persevering. The Lord calls you “faithful friend”. The joy of the Lord is your strength. You are a carrier of JOY and love to release that into others. You are an atmosphere shifter. You love to bring the atmosphere of heaven into situations. The color magenta is the color of love and joy. You long to have the Father’s perspective, and share it with others. I hear “Promotion Time” for you. (The parable of the talents in Matt 25:23). The steps represent promotion and transitioning higher in the spirit.
Prov 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Rom 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Heaven Invading Earth
When it looks like you're surrounded by the enemy you're actually surrounded by the power and presence of God. The armies of the Lord are encamped all around you and surrounding you on every side. The Lord is looking for those that will rest in Him in the midst of the fire. He will not leave you and He will not forsake you. “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you." Do not fear, for those who are with you, are more than those who are against you. Rest in His promises.
Beauty and creativity is so much a part of who you are.
I see as you worship, the glory of the Lord rises up within you and flows out of you. It's creating glory waves! The Lord is increasing your ability to navigate and flow with His Spirit.
Rivers of living water are flowing out of you into others bringing salvation, healing and deliverance. (Is 61:1-3)
You are industrious and creative. You're not afraid to try new things and be outside the box and step out of the boat. The Father can use people like that. You're like Caleb, one with a "different spirit". You're not afraid to make waves. The adventurous side of you is ready for new adventures with the Holy Spirit.
“Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”
Your heart is to be a servant sitting at a well offering others a drink. (John 4:13-14)

You are clothed with an aqua turquoise color for the freshness of the Lord and for the pioneering spirit. You are industrious and creative.

"But now, thus says the LORD, your Creator, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel, Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you. For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior."

Dan 2:22 “He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him.”
The Lord says you are a Daniel. You love to unlock the hidden things and discover the mysteries of the Kingdom. Your love for the prophetic and your hunger for truth guides you (compass and map). You have a deep desire to unlock and discover truth and for others to uncover truth as well. Like Daniel, you are a messenger. You have been faithful with little and with much, and so the Father trusts you with keys that will unlock many things for people including kingdom resources. There is an unlocking of kingdom wealth that the Lord is giving you to steward and even an unlocking of people to help position them for destiny. Your curious nature is a quality that the Father takes great delight in. You are a pioneer and He enjoys going on adventures with you.
You are one who has learned to live by His grace. “In my weakness, He is strong.” You have learned to lean on the strength of your Beloved. He has carried you through many tests and trials. You have learned how to be an overcomer and you desire that for others.
You are a servant leader. You love to see others in wholeness and walking in victory with the Father. Your heart is for others to know who they are in Christ and to live from all He has paid for them. The cage is the captivity that the children of God are in. But by His Spirit, they are given keys and led out into freedom.
You desire to let your life be a living sacrifice to the Lord. You desire to live and move and have your being in Him. You desire to live and create for others a habitation of the presence of the Lord. “He inhabits the praises of His people.” You have overcome much and it has caused you to be a worshipper. You love to worship and you live to worship. Worship has become a sanctuary for you and it is another way that you can lead others to freedom and safety into the Father’s arms.
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (Rom 12:1-2)
You are very passionate and for the things of God. You are a fiery one, a burning one for Jesus. You have a passion for worship and for others to encounter God. The Lord says you are a Psalmist and your tongue is that like a pen of a ready writer. He can flow so easily through you because you are yielded to Him. There are many more new songs that He desires to write through you.
I saw you as a lion. In the Old Testament, before the armies would head into battle, they would send out the worshipers first. “Judah goes first!” A lion is also a leader. Blue is the color of revelation, truth, and God’s government on the earth.
Because there is order and excellence in the Kingdom of God, you place high standards on yourself, and as a leader, you desire that for those you lead. You desire for others to know truth, and the ways and depths of the things of God. As a lover of truth, you’re never satisfied with merely taking things at face value, but you search things out for yourself. You love to understand the why and how (like solving puzzles). You love learning and therefore you are a great teacher and leader. This is a great asset to the Father, because He can trust you with those He has put in your care.
John 14:6 “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:15-17 “If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.”
You are a sword in the hand of the Father. You love the Word of God and you love Truth. The Truth penetrates and cuts through the darkness. As a teacher, you desire for others to comprehend and understand the Word and the ways of God. You help to illuminate the scripture in such a way that others can see and receive.
You desire for others to be free and to walk in freedom. You have a strong gift of discernment that enables you to help people walk out of darkness and into His marvelous light.
The authority that you carry makes people respond to the Light. You bring the Kingdom wherever you go and bring order to things that are in chaos. You have a strong and yet gentle way about you that brings peace into situations.
“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” (Heb 4:12)
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.” Matt. 5:9

"Behold, the LORD'S hand is not so short That it cannot save; Nor is His ear so dull That it cannot hear." ( s 59:1) He is Your Rescuer, Savior, Helper, Friend, Comforter, Prince of Peace. Peace is "Shalom"; nothing missing, nothing broken, wholeness. He is the Shalom in the storm. Walk in the Spirit in every circumstance. "Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." (Shalom)
I kept seeing the book of John, chapter 10 about the Good Shepherd. Jesus explains that He is the Good Shepherd and that the sheep know His voice and no other voice will they follow. He also explains he is the Door to the sheep.
The Lord showed me that you have a shepherding heart. You have a desire for others to recognize the voice of God and to know the Good Shepherd. You are full of compassion and mercy. You love people well and desire each person you touch to come into wholeness. You desire for people to be healed inside and out. You have a sacrificial love that often lifts others up, and lends a helping hand.
I saw you as a gate. You are an access point to release the Kingdom of Heaven into this Earth. "As it is in heaven…" People trust you and lean upon you. The Lord is increasing the favor on your life for this next season. New doors are being opened up to you because of your faithfulness to do what the Father has asked you to do. I see you even leading and teaching others. Your heart is to be like Jesus and so you lay down your life to serve. The ocean is for the vast expression of God’s love and mercy to the world.
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have Life, and have it abundantly." (John 10:10)
The Lord has given you eyes to see and ears to hear what the Spirit is saying. He is calling you to soar high in the heavenlies. Let His Kingdom come, as it is in heaven! Don't rely on your natural eyes but see what the Father sees.
The Lord takes the chaos of our circumstances and turns it around for His glory and purposes. I saw the turmoil in the crashing waves, but the Lord broke through and turned what look like a tidal wave into a glory wave.
he's taking those circumstances that look like they from the enemy and he's flipping them for His glory. Your TRIAL, will become a TESTIMONY of the TRIUMPH!
"For God makes all things work out for His good for those that are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
The Lord has gifted you with the ability to lead and serve others. You are humble and have a teachable spirit. You do not mind following others, but when there is an absence of leadership you are able to step in and lead. You are a servant leader which is very kingdom minded.
Truth and justice are very important to you. You are a digger (shovel), you love to research and discover the truth. Details, details, details. You are very thorough and are willing to take the necessary time to see that things are done completely and correctly (magnifying glass).
You are someone who can be trusted by others and trusted by Him. You are a safe place for people (treasure chest). I see the Lord using your whole family as a refuge for others to seek counsel and advice. You have a lot of wisdom and you do not answer too quickly.
It is promotion time for you. The Lord wants to take you higher in this next season. He wants to show you more of Himself and more of who you are in Him. He takes great pleasure in you (even though you may not always feel like He does.) He is very fond of you and who you are. The butterflies are the beauty and transformation the Lord is doing in you and through you.
"For wisdom is better than jewels; And all desirable things cannot compare with her."
Proverbs 8:11
"My son, if you will receive my words And treasure my commandments within you, Make your ear attentive to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding; For if you cry for discernment, Lift your voice for understanding; If you seek her as silver And search for her as for hidden treasures; Then you will discern the fear of the Lord And discover the knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:1-5
“The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” Matt. 13:44-45
1Kings 18 there was a drought in the land. But before the Lord dealt with the drought first He dealt with the idols and false prophets and had Elijah rebuild the altar of the Lord. Then, he had Elijah pray for rain. Before the rain came he heard a sound...
It was a sound of abundance..it was a murmur, tumult, rush, multitude, wealth, ROAR of a heavy shower! He heard the sound before he saw with his natural eyes... Lord is releasing a sound in the Earth right now of abundance of rain... Can you hear it? Can you hear the sound?
Then he saw the cloud it was small... But the Lord says, "Do not despise the days of small beginnings." He's getting ready to pour out His abundance upon you and your circumstance! Your drought is ending! Can you hear it? Can you see it?
The altar Elijah built at 12 Stones and a trench around it... I saw the fire of God like a rainbow because we serve a God of covenant. All the promises of God start at the altar of our heart. Check your altar...What do you have there that the Lord needs to deal with right now? Let they're pure refining fire of God cleanse you... So he can do the outpouring on you.
The Lord's voice is like the sound of many Waters. He thunders from the heavens. We need to recognize the voice of God and respond.
"See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven. And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth , but also the heaven .” This expression, “Yet once more,” denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire." Hebrews 12:25-29
You are a weapon in the Father's hand. It's time to be on the offense and no longer on the defense. "'No weapon that is formed against you will prosper;and every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their vindication is from Me.' declares the Lord." (Is 54:17) The Lord is the wall of fire around you and the glory in your midst (Zech 2:5). He is your protector and He is your shield. It's time to RISE and SHINE and let your LIGHT shine before men, because the GLORY of the Lord has risen upon YOU! The blue flame is for the hottest fire of the Holy Spirit, and He is unveiling revelation to you in this hour. The Lion of Judah is at the top for He is your head.
The Father is releasing destiny words to you. He is speaking who you are and what He has for you. He is watching over His word to perform it. The Word of the Lord is a seed. When the Seed is released to us we much be sure our soil receives the seed. Receive/Conceive!
The soil determines if there see produces fruit…
The Seed is perfect!
The issue is with the womb…
The vessel can receive the see it reject the seed….
Don't abort your promise!
"For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it." (Isaiah 55:10-11)
I saw a protective covenant dome over the seed. "'For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, But My lovingkindness will not be removed from you, And My covenant of peace will not be shaken,' Says the Lord who has compassion on you." (Is 54:10)
The Altar of Worship to the Lion of Judah... As we worship the Lord in Spirit and Truth, the presence of the Lord will be so intense that people will cry out "The Lord He is God! The Lord He is God!" (As in the time of Elijah when he challenged the altar of Baal.)
The altar consists of 12 Stones for the 12 tribes of Israel. This represents the whole body of Christ working together and worshiping the Lord as one. We are living stones and our lives are to be a living sacrifice unto the Lord. (Rom 12:1) The fire is the Holy, purifying refiners fire of the Holy Spirit. The coals are burning red hot like the coals of the Altar in Isaiah 6...Lord, touch our tongue and refine our words to be words of life.
"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts! The whole earth is full of his glory!" (Is 6:3-7)
Waterfall-Holy Spirit flowing, refreshment, higher level anointing.
Rainbow- Promises, Covenant
Psalm 43:7 "Deep calls to deep at the sound if your waterfalls. All your wanted and breakers crash over me."
The Lord is calling us deeper in Him so that we can go higher in the spirit with Him. 2 Samuel 5 David inquires of the Lord for the strategies to defeat the Philistines. The Lord is also downloading strategies to us right now. Each situation is different, and the way He wants to do things is different. We must inquire of the Lord for his instructions and His purposes. He is releasing His glory and the Earth right now through everything we go through. His promises are yes and amen! He's already done it!
(You see the angels?)
Psalm 91 NIV
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
The Lord God King of the universe is Jehovah Jireh your provider. He IS the God who sees. He sees you and hears you. He has provided everything you need for life and godliness. He has He has provided the way of escape. He has provided your Victory. He is your Source. He is the Lover of your soul. Your breakthrough is at hand.
The Lord created a family (the seed). He is Father God, Abba. As His sons and daughters, He desires for us to leave a legacy of LIFE. The Lord calls you His “Tree Farmer”. He is calling you to raise up many sons and daughters and leave a generational blessing of righteousness. He wants you to remain firmly planted and rooted in the River of God so that there will be fruit in every season of your life. There are 3 acorns for completion. There are 9 saplings for fruitfulness.
To grant those who mourn in Zion,
Giving them a garland instead of ashes,
The oil of gladness instead of mourning,
The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting.
So they will be called [a]oaks of righteousness,
The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified. (Is. 61:3)
Leader of leaders. You have a spirit of excellence. You have a heart to see the Bride grow and mature. You want to challenge people to be all that God has called them to be. You tend to hold others at a high standard because that is the way the Lord deals with you. You have been through the purifying fire of the Holy Spirit and therefore you carry an anointing for healing and deliverance. Wholeness is not an option but a requirement. You are driven in a good God way. You are passionate about pursuing everything the Lord has called you to and you don’t want to leave anything undone. The Lord is very pleased with you. And He says “Daughter, I have called you to many things, but mostly I have called you MINE’” Is 43:1-2 But now, thus says the LORD, your Creator, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name; you are Mine!2 “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you.”
I saw you as an eagle. You love to fly high in the spirit and catch the updraft. You don’t allow the storms to intimidate you, but you understand that the storms are only to propel you higher. I am calling you into a new season of rest. Not a rest of not “doing”, but a new place of rest in Me. I am calling you into a new level of secret place anointing that will give you a greater authority and anointing to bless and train My people.
Is 40:31 “Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain NEW strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.”
I see you both planting a garden with the Father. You begin by searching out for just the right field. You then purchase the field and begin plowing. You are ever so careful and diligent to removing all the rocks and sticks. I see you praying over the field. Both of you are willing to pay the price and are not afraid to get your hands dirty. Then I see you planting seeds in the field. Tending to the seeds, praying, nurturing watering…. Carefully tending to the watching for the needs of each plant and fulfilling it. You both have a servant's heart...And love to love.
Then I see the plants growing to fullness and maturity and you harvesting the fruit of your labors. The Lord wants to encourage you to enjoy every step of the journey. There is a price to pay in order to receive the fullness of your dreams. Some days are really hard and it seems like the plowing will never end, but then there's times when you start to see the little buds springing up and fills you with so much hope and pleasure; and yet that's just the beginning because there's such a long journey ahead before the fruit comes.
You both carry so much creativity. The Father has placed such passion in you to see the Kingdom advance, and the way He has for you to plant and design the field it's all unique just to you. There is no blueprint to follow except the leading of the Holy Spirit. The covenant of marriage is a beautiful picture of how the Lord co-labors with us, His Bride. Each individual carries unique gifts and passions that are anointed separately, but when the Father brings them together there is great power and authority to accomplish so much more. There is synergy and so such joy when we doing it together. Two really are better than one.
I see you soaring like an eagle. As an innovator and a pioneer, you love challenges and trying new things. You are not a settler and have a deep desire go forward and advance the Kingdom in the earth. The Father has given you eyes to see and ears to hear what the Spirit is saying. You desire to know the Lord more and more. Your prayer is to have His heart for the world and for individuals. “In Him you live and move and have your being.” You want to move and flow with the wind of His Spirit. I see the Father taking you higher and higher in the Spirit. Even in your prayer life He wants to show you things from His perspective so you will know how pray. He wants you to see things in the glory realm.
“Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. “Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.” Is 43:18-19
“DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Cor. 15:55-57

Song: "Love Letter" written by Sarrah Willhite. Produced by WorshipMob,
Lyrics:
"I was never lost to You. I was never lost to You.
You wanted me in my worst. You called me Your conqueror. You gave me strength to fly. Cuz, You know I needed Your strength to fly.
You knew me first, my love. You knew me first, my love. You made a way when there was none. The Great Escape back to where I begun. You taught me the right way to run. Oh You taught me the right way to run.
You have a way of attracting me. Profound love profounding me. Your presence is where I release. Your presence is resurrecting me.
Why would I run from Your love? How could I run from Your love. Anywhere You go let me go too. Down any path You so choose. Better is one day in Your court. Just one hour in Your court. Just one second in Your majesty. Oh to love You for all eternity."
The Lord is extending His hand ready to exchange. He is ready and waiting. We need to be willing to give up what we have to receive what He has.
It's all available to us. Jesus made the ultimate Exchange when He gave us Life by His death.
He exchanges our captivity for Liberty, our prisons for Freedom, our rejection for favor, our depression for Joy, our mourning for comfort, fear for trust, discouragement for hope, sickness for healing, apathy for passion, intimidation for boldness, confusion for clarity, survival for Destiny, defeat for victory.
Isaiah 61 says that when we do this exchange, we will become “Oaks of righteousness”. He plants us so we can display His glory in the earth!
We are to be transformed so that we can transform.
God gets glorified and then we are able to rebuild ruined cities and raise up former devastations… He's wanting us to repair and rebuild si that His glory fills the Earth. Be transformed to transform.
Psalm 34:8 “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.”
John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
You have tasted of the sweetness and goodness of the Lord, and your heart’s cry is for others to know and experience this as well. You have a very sweet relationship with the Lord and you want this for others. Fruit is very important to you. You want to see action and results. You have a determination and drive about you that is contagious to others. You can get people moving and doing things that they may not have done on their own. The Lord is your strength and you want to bring others to the place where they discover Jesus as their source of strength in weakness. You live in a beautiful surrendered place where you allow and even welcome the pruning of the Lord. Because of this, you are a life coach to many by teaching them to grow with Christ in mind, body, and spirit. Abiding, abiding, abiding. Fruit, fruit, fruit. You have been asking for wisdom, and therefore there is an increase coming to your discernment as well as strategies being downloaded to you. This is harvest time for you and your family.
The eagle is the prophetic and the lion is the apostolic. You are a pioneer and a visionary. He has given you keen prophetic sight that of like an eagle. You can see things from far off and you look at circumstances from a higher perspective. You value truth and highly honor the word of the Lord. You are very relational and understand how the Body is jointly fitted together to operate and function as the true Ekklesia in the earth. There is a governmental mantel that you carry to nurture and father the generations. The apostolic/prophetic call upon you is for the unlocking of destinies. The eagle sees the blueprints from the heavenly realms and the lion leads and directs others to carry out the work of the Lord.
I heard “mountain shaker”. The Lord has called you to possess mountains. And everywhere you foot treads, He has given to you. The sound of the Lion of Judah will come forth out of your mouth and cause these mountains to shake at the word of the Lord. The sound of His voice through you will cause a reaction, and those things that are not of the kingdom of God and they will be removed.
Ezekiel 43:2 “and behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the way of the east. And His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.”
You are a faithful servant of the Lord. You are consistent and unwavering. I heard the Lord describe you as a “lily of the valley”. These flowers bend as though bowing in worship and humility. They are white for purity, beauty and grace. The shape of the flowers is like bells. Bells represent releasing the sound of liberty and the call to prayer.
I saw you as a clay pot that is being poured out. A clay pot is a humble and yielded vessel that the Holy Spirit can use to accomplish His purposes through. The pot was tipping and pouring for others to be filled and refreshed. As you pour out your life as a drink offering, so many lives are being touched and enriched by your faithfulness.
The scripture I heard was Isaiah 52:7 “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, ‘Your God reigns!’”
There are many more adventures ahead for you! Heaven thanks you for your willingness to GO!

Prophet (Blue-Eagle) revelation and heaven
Pastor (Green-Lamb) healing, life, and growth
Teacher (Yellow-Owl) wisdom and understanding
Evangelist (Orange-Dove) fire revival
The keyhole is the throne of God releasing the seven Spirits of God into the earth.
Painted at David's Tent
The Lord is passionately pursuing you. He wants you to reach into the depths of Him as He reaches into the depths of you. "Deep calls out to deep at the sound of your waterfalls, all your breakers and your waves have rolled over me." He's calling you deeper, and it's time to respond. "As a deer pants for the water brooks, oh my soul pants for you oh God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?" He is making a way for you where there seems to be no way. Hope in Him and Trust Him.
I saw honeycomb dripping with honey. Honeycomb is intimacy with the Lord and the sweetness of His presence. Honey also represents revelation and anointing which comes from the secret place. From that place the Lord gives us revelation and opens the Scrolls of Heaven for us to release his heart into the land. Out of worship and intercession from The Father's heart comes the Word of the Lord to decree into the land. From that beautiful place comes the River of God that heals our Land.

The Lord is pouring out His healing on you and on the land. If we who are called by His name humble ourselves, pray, and seek His face, then He will hear from heaven and heal our land. If any among you are sick, call on the elders. He is pouring out His healing anointing on your mind, and soul. Receive His gift to you. New life and growth will spring forth speedily.
I hear “Prophet’s reward”. You honor the voice of the Lord. Continue to press in and respond to His words and you will receive the prophet reward which is the fruit of the words given to you. You have a heart to serve and to bring healing and restoration to those who the Lord brings before you. As you continue to yield yourself and your talents to the Father, He will show you more and more unique and creative ways to express His love to those around you. This is a time of discovery for you. Your appreciation for creation and beautiful things is beginning to stir new desires for expression. I see you as a vessel of honor that the Lord is refining and purifying. You have been through the fire and you have responded well. You have a desire to see more into the spirit realm and the Lord is beginning to meet you in powerful ways in the secret place. He is opening your eyes to not only see, but to understand the things He is showing you. He is increasing your gift of intercession. He is beginning to train you as an intercessor. This is also a season of stewarding family. Your children will also carry some of the spiritual and natural gifts you possess and you are to train them well. Have fun in the spirit playing and creating with them. I saw you running through a field of sunflowers. Sunflowers are the symbol of faith, loyalty and adoration. As they grow, they follow the movement of the sun (Son). The mountains are the spiritual heights He’s calling you to.
Matt 13:44 “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.”
The Lion of Judah is an all consuming fire. He is releasing waves of HIS glory.
This painting is a word for the state of Arkansas.
I saw a tree. A tree represents righteousness, wisdom, wealth, prosperity, healing, and new life.
The enemy has tried to come in and bring discouragement and hopelessness. But the Lord say, "I am bringing life, hope, and prosperity to you. This is the "land of opportunity" and you are in a time of unlimited potential. This state carries a pioneering spirit (wagon wheel) and I am releasing a pioneering anointing upon you to bring forth something new. There is a Gold Rush! (Panning for gold). New business and industry will be staying and many business will even relocate to Arkansas." The Lord is pouring gold and His glory upon you. There is have for forward movement and momentum. No more being stuck.
Prov 13:12 "A longing fulfilled is a tree of life."
Mississippi is at a KEY POINT! The foundation is humility and honoring one another. As we do, revelation God's government will come to the earth realm. The Lord is unlocking Mississippi's destiny and releasing a Revival fire that will be carried throughout the United States. The key is love and unity. He is converging rivers and streams to bring His glory. There is a hunger in Mississippi for awakening like never before. There is a coming together of streams like never before. Mississippi will be a prototype to the nation of working AS ONE!
The painting shows you covered in safety with Jesus’ wings.
Night and day you are covered in His protection. You will be safe from terror at night and destruction at noon.
The tower and fortress is also a place of safety and refuge in the Lord even from the young lion.
The bubble around you is a “wall of fire” as in Zech. 2:5
The angel at the top is holding a sword and a shield. He is guarding you from the arrows coming in the darkness.
The angels guard you in all your ways and bear you up in their hands.
Because you have made the Lord your refuge and your dwelling place, no evil will befall you, nor do any plagues come near your home.
The Lord is passionately pursuing you. He wants you to reach into the depths of Him as He reaches into the depths of you. Deep calls out to Deep. He's calling you deeper, and it's time to respond. He is parting the waters for you andHe is making a way for you where there seems to be no way. Trust Him.
I saw the sun rising behind the treasure chest and I heard a "Arise and shine" for His light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
The Lord has everything you need. He is ready to pour out His glory to you and through you.
I saw the bowls in heaven containing the prayers of the saints being poured out. We are now living in the greatest time of power evangelism! We need to pray as the body of Christ and as intercessors for the Lord to send forth laborers into the fields.

A dome represents a dwelling or habitation of the Lord. The Lord is strengthening our foundations and our pillars (wisdom). The structure must have integrity. The golden eagle on the top of the dome is the pure prophetic, keen spiritual vision, soaring in the Spirit and waiting on the Lord for direction. The intercession and worship is releasing the Light in the state. As you gather together in worship and prayer, the integrity of the structure is strengthened. The River of God is a move of God, a release and continuous outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and is giving the Church the ability to move freely with the Holy Spirit. There are 12 rain drops for the establishment of God's government.
Your worship and intercession is causing a "iron dome" in the spirit realm and releasing the purifying fire of the Lord.
"So then you are no longer strangers and aliens (Mississippi), but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household, having been built on the foundations of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you (Mississippi) are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit." Eph 2:19-22

The Lord is taking us to a place where we fully trust Him. No matter what the circumstances in life, fully surrender and full trust Him. He is a good Daddy and He is One who can be trusted. He wants us to lean not on our own understanding and step out of the boat and walk upon the water with Him. Don’t look at the waves crashing around you; keep your eyes up towards Him. That is where the glory is. His guiding hand is right there with us. He will not let us sink. He wants it all.

Caleb was a courageous warrior who did not give up on the promise. He knew God was with him and God would do what He said He would do.
Keep striking the ground with your arrows! Don't stop. Don't lose hope. Don't lose momentum. Glory is being released! There are 7 arrows for perfect victory! Orange is the color of perseverance and the fire of God. The purple mountain is Mississippi. God has given us this land. It's time to cross into and occupy! The key is Love (Jesus) and the Source of victory.

Lead me to that secret place. Take me into Your chamber where You and I can meet face to face. I want to abide in You. I want to burn for You. Consume all of me, Lord.
In that place of intimacy with God is where the anointing comes and we gain the oil for our lamps to burn.
In the face of the storms we can remain in perfect peace hidden in the shadow of His wing. He is our safe place and our strong tower. He is our refuge from the storm. Though can see the enemy and see the waves we are seated at rest in heavenly place IN HIM.

The Throne and Worship of the Creator
5 Out from the throne come flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; 6 and before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal; and in the [c]center and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind. 7 The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle. 8 And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night [d]they do not cease to say,
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who [e]is to come.”
9 And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders will fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and will worship Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 “Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they [f]existed, and were created.”
“The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord is over many waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful. The voice of the Lord is majestic. The voice of the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness. The voice of the Lord makes the deer to calve and strips the forests bare; and in His temple everything says, ‘GLORY!’” Ps. 29:3-9
“More than the sound of many waters, than the mighty breakers of the sea, the Lord on high is mighty.” Ps. 93:4
You have been set apart, chosen and devoted to God for His purposes. The Lord kept saying “War Horse”. Immediately, I thought of the movie “War Horse” which is full of courage, bravery, and endurance. The Lord also told me that you have a heart like David. Like you, David was a worshipper and a warrior. At a young age he had to endure many trials and troubles. And yet through each obstacle or wall he faced, he overcame. Every battle that he faced, he was victorious. And after facing each one he gained wisdom and authority. He was a worshipper and loved the Lord’s presence. He was humble and quick to repent because he never wanted anything to come between him and God. The bible says that David was a “friend of God”. That is also what the Lord says about you. Even as a youth, you walk and talk to God like a friend.
In the painting, you are the horse. Horses represent power and authority. The horse is leaping over the wall, just like you will leap gracefully over every obstacle you face. The horse is carrying the harp of David for worship and the slingshot for the giants you will overcome. The colors in the sky are the traits you carry. Yellow is for joy and hope. Orange is the color of perseverance and strength. Red is anointing and conquered land. Purple is for royalty and authority.
You are leaders in the Lord’s army and you are victorious. You are visionaries and can see the big picture. The Lord has even empowered you understand the strategies needed to advance the Church forward. “For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.” (Heb. 11:10) You are builders and are bridge makers. “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” (Psalm 127:1) You are servant leaders and are yielded to the Holy Spirit and stand on this foundation. I see you breaking hard ground, digging new wells, redigging ancient wells of revival and laying stones that will host the move of the Spirit. The stones represent the apostolic gifting, building, covenant, and laying foundations. The River is the Holy Spirit, cleansing, refreshing, teaching, and the prophetic anointing. There are Rivers of the Spirit and rivers of wealth flowing out of the wells reaching far places and even touching all the mountains of society. Anointed worship will be released where the Father is worshiped in Spirit and Truth and the people will be refreshed with the Living Water. Where the wells are dug, the land will be healed and revived with life.
When Jesus told His disciples, “Let’s go over to the other side of the Lake.” He was telling them His desire and intentions for them. When God tells us to do something, He desires and intends on us completing it. He is already speaking from the place of knowing we can accomplish it. The disciples become fearful when the winds and waves were overwhelming them. The Lord rebuked them for not having faith in what He TOLD them they were to do. They allow the circumstances to bring doubt and fear instead of resting on His words. After the Lord spoke to the wind and the waves and calmed the storm, their fear shifted from fear of the situation to the fear of the Lord (recognizing His authority and power). Jesus wants us to rest WITH Him in the midst of our circumstances. He longs for us to totally surrender and fully trust Him and crawl up and rest beside Him.
Keep standing. Your breakthrough is coming!

Rev. 4:8
"There have been many roads that have been made, but I say there is only ONE road. Rebuild the road of holiness in this nation! Strike the ground with the sword (worship, decrees, and declarations). I will release My seven spirits in the earth as rivers that spring forth in the desert. The scroll for this nation has been written! Use the key of David to unlock that which has been held back up until this time! I have been waiting for such a time as this!"

"Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Train even your weaklings to be warriors...Now let the sickle do its work, for the harvest is ripe. Thousands upon thousands are waiting in the valley of decision."
Joel 2:28-30, 3:10-14
I heard the Lord say "winnowing fork"...It is time we repent and cast off those things that are hindering our growth and allow Jesus to separate the wheat from the chaff in our lives so that good fruit can be produced. The Wind of God will blow away the corruptible and non fruit producing things in our lives and His fire will burn those things away...then times of refreshing will come and the rain of His presence will water us to produce more fruit.
Caleb was a courageous warrior who did not give up on the promise. He knew God was with him and God would do what He said He would do.

The painting depicts God’s heart for the Great State of Mississippi. In the past, Mississippi has been known for being the “last” in many areas. But God said, “The last shall be first and the first shall be last”.
I see the Mississippi River like a tree. The tree over Mississippi is an oak tree, for Mississippi is an “oak of righteousness”. This tree has many acorns. The acorns are the seeds of multiplication that will be reproducing many forests of “oaks” leaving a legacy for future generations. The leaves are healing that will be produced and released to the nation(s).
The 9 stalks of wheat coming out of Mississippi are the fruitful harvest. The 2 larger stalks off to the side make 11 for the transition and change of our state.
The state is highlighted in white flames for the purifying fire of love God is releasing. Mississippi will be burning with an awakening revival.
He is the “Father of lights”. There are 12 lights for the establishment of God’s government in Mississippi. The lights are in a circle for the unity of the Body of Christ coming together as one. Our lights individually are bright, but together we illuminate the entire state and the darkness will flee. The lights are also in the form of a clock, because it is God’s “time for Mississippi”.
The state is green with life, health, healing, and prosperity coming for Mississippi.
"So there is a great and mighty people; there has never been anything like it, nor will there be again after it to the years of many generations. A fire consumes before them and behind them a flame burns. Their appearance of horses; and like war horses, so they run. With a noise as of chariots they leap on the tops of the mountains, like the crackling of a flame of fire consuming the stubble, like a mighty people arranged for battle. They run like mighty men, they climb the wall like soldiers; and they each march in line, nor do they deviate from their paths. They do not crowd each other, they march everyone in his path; when they burst through the defenses, they do not break ranks..."
(Painted at Hope Fellowship Church Brandon, MS)
It is time! A tipping point has been created! The scales are tipping and rivers are pouring. The scales are in the tree because the scales are in our hands. the sword is in front of the tree for we must contend for the ground we are taking. The leaves released of the tree are the decrees, declarations, and prayers of the saints.
I see the Mississippi River like a tree in the center of the United States. The leaves are being released by the Wind of the Spirit and are being carried out. The Lord wants to release a mighty move of God that will affect the whole nation. There are 12 stars for God's government being established in our nation. I hear the Lord say, "The Eagle WILL soar!" speaking of the United States once again flying high as a banner in the earth.
