I would have said that business and me were like oil and water, but after Stockton Enterprise invited me on a business boot camp I found the whole idea of business exciting. From Friday evening to Sunday afternoon we covered all aspects of business in a creative and exciting way. Not one powerpoint in sight. With approx 60 individuals all with their own businesses we proceeded to mix and mingle, making friends and exchanging business ideas and opportunities. One of the highlights of my weekend, was when a guy who we had made friends with couldn’t join in with our team down time activities, Archery. I felt a leap of joy in my Spirit and the welling up of opportunity for God to heal his shoulder. This is what happened….
So I’m in a room with 60 business people and we have to share information about our business. After sharing a little of ‘Just Believe’, some people have been very inquisitive and interested. I had loads of opportunities to share my story of how I started in Prophetic Art. Then, while chatting to a nice man I hear he has trouble with his arm. He’s in constant pain at a level 10. He can’t lift it higher than chest height. I feel the delight in the Spirit and I say “oh, would you like the pain to go.? “ “Yes” ! He said. “Ok. Can I pray for you?” I ask. “Oh!!! Ok” he says. So I lay my hands on his shoulder and pray for complete healing. I said, “wouldn’t it be great if you went home with no pain”. Haha “yes” he said. So after praying he lifts his arm all the way up and behind his head with no pain at all. Hahahah. He starts flinging his arm around and has a look of astonishment on his sweet face. Hahaha. GOD IS SO GOOD. Hahaha.
Not only that, this guy was so amazed at what had happened, he told others. I ended up praying for another guy with a shoulder problem too. This was so much fun. Would it be too much to then say, that while I was in the rest room washing my hands, A lady started asking me questions. I invited her to experience the Holy Spirit. She did, and gave her life to Jesus. Haha !! I love GOD.
I have had requests from people for a Prophetic portrait. Prophetic Portraits are pictures or scenes I see that the Lord shows me about you. God shows me treasure inside of you and I paint it. You are amazing. You are innovative. You are exciting. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. Jeremiah 29.11 says that God has a plan for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Prophecy can call the treasure inside of you, out. The real you! The truth is, you ARE fearfully and wonderfully made. You are an amazing individual. You have gifts and talents, strengths and other things to offer individuals. So why not live and use those strengths. Sometimes it takes someone else to ‘see’ the real you ! God sees everything. Even our mess-ups. BUT GOD, ….HE STILL LOVES US. That’s the greatest thing in the whole world. HIS love. It surpasses anything I have ever felt or experienced.
Think I’m crazy…? Hey don’t knock it until you’ve tasted and seen. Find a church that lives and works in the power of the Holy Spirit. Go taste and see that the Lord is good. Be blessed.
