When I was invited to paint, I was reminded of a photo I had seen of a misty forest with glory rays several months ago. I had gotten permission from the photographer to use it as a painting reference then. I knew I was going to use it eventually, but wasn't sure how...or when...until I was asked to paint at this Experiencing the Glory Realm Conference with Leif Hefland, and Jason Upton.
I also remembered a corporate word I'd given recently. I was praying for a woman, and saw a fire in the garden of Gethsemane, then I saw Jesus in intercession beside it. He was crying out..."Don't let the fire go out for my people. Don't let my sacrifice be in vain." After I gave it, I fell out, it was that heavy, I could not stand. Turned out it was the festival of Purim as well, and I had no idea.
When I remembered the word, I started seeing Jesus as the Lion of Judah in the garden...wearing his crown. Because it all started in a garden...then He bled and fought in the spirit to submit His will in a Garden...when He comes back...I imagine He is going to run through a garden!!! The image reminded me of the mount of olives. I shared it with my spiritual mom and she gave me a scripture.
"And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east."
(Zechariah 14:4a NKJV)
The garden of Gethsemane is at the foot of the Mount of Olives.
I took that as a confirmation.
So I planned my painting, drove to Atlanta...set up and started to paint the "King of Glory." Right away, before I hardly had anything painted, Jason Upton started talking about walking through a forest with glory rays shinning through a forest. Another confirmation...
Then later RIGHT as I was painting the glory rays he spoke of it again. He actually said, I see the rays of glory light coming down.
Then he talked about the garden, he said it starts in a garden, so you will always return to the garden!!! Yes Lord YES!!!!!!!
When I finished, someone came up and said, you were flowing together so well in the spirit, "it was like you were illustrating his sermon!"
Amaaaazing!
Even so, come Lord Jesus!
