"Lay Hold" (Mixed media on 30x40in on canvas)

  In prayer for a DEI prophetic art workshop, I saw what looked like a lazy susan, on it were opportunities, action steps, healing, freedom, even Salvation… These good things appeared to be presented right in front of a person, within reach, but they kept pushing the lazy susan away. The word “defer” came strongly and I felt God wanting to address the reason behind the deferment. He said it was trauma that opened the door for being fearful, procrastinating laying hold of what God had for them.   Felt the Lord say, this is not a time to defer, but seize what I have for you!!  God is bringing things back around not for you to be stuck in a negative cycle, but to lay hold of complete freedom!!! Embracing God’s work is going to release you into the fullness of destiny like you’ve never known. Maybe you’ve had a certain distance of reach in your life, but like a tether ball you fly back to the pole you’re tied to.  God is wanting to cut you free by the Power and Authority of Jesus Christ!!!
