“Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart’s desires.”
Psalms 37:4 HCSB
I was given a gift. Even though I really wished I was given the gift to sing like an angel God had different plans for my life. He gave me the gift of prophetic art. Of course, I didn't know that in the beginning. All I knew was that I loved art. I love to paint, love to draw, and anything else that allowed me to create. I was mediocre, definitely not good enough to do anything substantial in my life with. And I didn't understand it honestly. I didn't understand why God would give me such a desire but not give me the talent to be amazing at it. Then I joined a church. It was quite different than churches I had been to in the past. It was spoken over me that I was supposed to be involved in worship. When they learned I couldn't sing, well I didn't know what I was meant to do in the Kingdom. Then it was spoken over me again, but this time that I was a prophetic artist. I didn't even know what that meant. So I prayed about it and I started painting. It was beautiful. I painted things that I should not habe been able to paint. And the paintings spoke to others in a way I could not of spoken with words. I finally understood why I had such a desire to create, it wasn't my own but God's working me.
“No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house.”
Matthew 5:15 HCSB
Next came the hard part. I had to share my gift. I started sharing it at church. Then I shared it on Facebook. However, I only shared the finished product. Now, I have started a YouTube channel in hopes of sharing my journey ; the mess ups, do overs, paint overs, and miracles that come when worshipping God with a paintbrush. Join me.
