"Messed up at work"

That was the subject of my mom's email to Pastor Sherry and myself yesterday morning (Tuesday). Overflowing from Monday night's service, a vision captivated my mom's spirit to the point that she could barely work, a vision flowing in unity with the dreams and visions of others. As Ann would say, "WOW" + speechlessness. My words are not fit to and can't even attempt to describe the supernatural things that have taken place since Sunday. If you encountered Him at The Extreme Prophetic Encounter, you recognize Him...

*Crystal's dream*Lion of Judah*White horses, white figures and a stream of living water*The hawk*Latter rain*"You ARE worthy."*Shifting*Billow banners*Banners of fire and water*Laughter*Proverbs 31*Nightly and unremarkable visions and dreams*"Enter His courts..."*"You have an assignment."*** Let me explain the last one...

It's an amazing thing to have a loving mother in your life, but it is something else to have a spiritual mother who recognizes your destiny in God, speaking and being the necessary resource to unfold the prophetic gifts and talents in you. This morning, my mother says, "You have an assignment," furthur instructing me to measure one of the walls in her prayer room and price the paint needed to draw a mural on the wall. "I'll pay for the material. There is a certain kind of music you will need to find to do this. You need to use your prophetic gift of painting." And this isn't the only assignment.

God... you whispered in her ear and opened her eyes, even when I didn't hear or see you clearly. I thank you even now for revealing the gifts planted in my children, my husband and I being obedient to what we hear and see from you and how we are to speak and be the earthly resource for our children's heavenly callings that they will recognize and walk in through your Holy Spirit.

I've never taken an art class or studied the styles of historical artistic behavior. But, if you really know me, I have a quietly spoken and rarely revealed heart-passion for art and painting. I've dibbled and dabbled here and there by myself and with only a few friends, loving every second of it. Yet, as I looked at my earthly resume concerning art (while also comparing my art to others), I set it aside as a hobby... nothing more, always a little less. Little did I know...

"Arise, shine for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you." (If you felt God speaking to you just now... He was. Isaiah 60:1)

I was recently introduced to some amazing artwork and artists before and during the Encounter (see links below) and have stepped into another dimension of looking at the topic and talent of art. For the past two nights, I have been restlessly sleeping, overcome by even more distinct visions of God's glory, the wind about the Lion of Judah, the fire of God's eyes, and so much more, my hands etching unseen things in the air.

The full vision of this mural has yet to come, but one thing is clear- when you delight yourself in God (The Message Bible says "keep company with God"- Psa. 37:4), you can't tell me He won't give you the secret desires of your heart (Him trusting us enough to receive those things and still keep ourselves in Him)- ON TOP OF doing exceedingly and abundantly above all you could ever ask or think. Thinking about my destiny, expression art forms... even the earthly things of my finances and my car...

Nah... you can't tell me He won't do it all. My God is to real for me to believe who and how He is is a fraud.
