Dreams and Visions

I attended the Return Conference in Texas the first weekend of May, and to say it was life-changing would be an understatement. I have more posts coming from it, but I just want to share this one.

There were two separate times when I was in the Spirit. The whole conference was going on around me, and yet I lay there on the ground. I remember reaching my hands up to sit up the first time, and I heard the Holy Spirit say, “It’s not time yet.” So I stayed there, just resting in His presence.

Later that day, the second time I was in the Spirit, I was again lying there when I heard Him very clearly say, “Jodi, I want you to look. I’m going to show you something.” It was quite overwhelming to hear His voice, and I cried. Then, in a brief moment, the ceiling of that church seemed to bubble open, and warm clouds began to descend.

This time, everything was blue—swirling blue, very peaceful. I couldn’t see anything else, just the swirling blue. But the thing is, I had seen that blue before just a blue hole opening in the darkness —never with the intensity and the blue-and-white cloud swirling like I did this time. It felt like a hole into the blackness was beginning to open up, as He reveals more and more to me about who I am and how much He truly loves me and who I am in Him.

Dreams and Visions

Here is a dream a sister in Christ had. So honored to do commissioned art this way ….

The Holy Spirit is inviting each one of us to experience the color and vibrancy of His love and the playfulness of His Kingdom. Cooperating with the Holy Spirit and surrendering to His flow takes us into new heights and realms. It awakens our senses to experience the fullness of all that He is, and we begin to see each other in that way as well. Each person is a unique reflection of His image—full of life, color, and love.

Dreams and Visions

Here is a dream a sister in Christ had. So honored to do commissioned art this way ….

“The Path” – On the path in life it could be clear or have barriers. Focus on the clear path ahead when facing life’s challenges on the path

Psalm 119:105 Your word is a light to guide my feet and a lamp for my path.

I love that I have the opportunity to use the gift He has given me—to draw and paint—to create the dreams and visions He gives my brothers and sisters in Christ.

“Meet Me at the River”

It was in the whisper that I heard Him speak: “Meet Me at the river for your healing.”
Then came the image—so real, so beautiful, so serene and calming—the water running around the bend. I am so honored that He uses me, that He speaks to me this way. I just love Him.

Today, if you find yourself feeling unrest, calm your body. Relax your shoulders, close your eyes, and take a couple of deep breaths. Listen for the river running. The water is swift, but there is a peace, with His love overshadowing it. Sit there for a while. Just breathe it in. Receive His peace and rest.

“Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, flowing with water clear as crystal, continuously pouring out from the throne of God and of the Lamb.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭1‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Love in the unexpected places

I am so in love that it’s this season again. Today, this came from the smallest hands in my life. As my sweet grandson was supposed to be getting into the car, he detoured into the yard and picked two of these beautiful flowers—one for each ear. I am so grateful that I can see this love, that I have this love, and that these memories will last forever.

His Love

“Those who are loved by God, let His love continually pour from you to one another, because God is love.”
(1 John 4:7)

“Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance. Love does not traffic in shame or disrespect, nor does it selfishly seek its own honor. Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense. Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong. Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others. Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up. Love never stops loving.”
(1 Corinthians 13:4–8, The Passion Translation)

The only shape in human existence that never ends is the circle. It is a beautiful representation of unconditional love.

This is the love of the Father—never-ending and unconditional. It continually surrounds us when we choose to stay near to Him and abide.

“For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39

Holy Spirit, encounter me with Your unconditional love. Refine me to be more like You.

The Least of These

I love my work. For the past eight years, I have had the privilege of being part of Karyn Purvis’s army of TBRI® Practitioners. It has been such an honor to walk alongside so many families and to witness the beauty and successes as they continue to attach and truly become a family unit.

I love seeing parents—some who have never been parents before—step in so quickly and understand the concept of nurturing a young infant, even when the child is 8, 10, or 15 years old. I love presenting everything about TBRI® to families. I love seeing children who once had no words begin to have words and use those words to get their needs met.

I love seeing laughter and joy in families. I love speaking encouragement into parents when they do well, even when they have a hard time receiving it—much like their children. I am so honored that I am entrusted with these beautiful human lives to love well.

The Wall

For many years, I have been wrestling with the Holy Spirit about the belief that the church is not significant. Throughout those years, I walked outside the confines of the church building, working with His people. I came to understand that the Acts Church is who my community is meant to be. I struggled in a place of not needing anything from anyone, asking myself, Why do I need the building?

I have asked the Holy Spirit, “Show me. Heal me. Free me from the story I have been walking in.”

Then, just recently, in a moment, the Holy Spirit showed me that “the wall” between myself and the church is not a wall meant to separate us. Instead, it is a place where the church needs help—a place where He is inviting me in to teach from what He has already qualified me with. Relationship with His people is what He is desires. My place to teach the church … one person at a time…

relationship
with self,
with others,
with the Holy Spirit.

Initially, the wall seemed grand and overwhelming. Then I saw Him turn, standing next to me, reach out His hand, and show me that we are doing this together.

A portrait of a mother -Tammy

Let me tell you about Tammy. There is a fierce loyalty that she carries. Even in the hardest situations, Tammy is able to carry herself in a way that shows everyone around her that everything is going to be OK, no matter the storm.

I met Tammy through my work because she is raising her grandson. There is a passion inside her to do things differently. I will never forget the first day we were sitting in the park when she felt the breeze of the Holy Spirit blow through her. Her eyes filled with tears, and that day became a turning point for her.

This is what Tammy wants the world to know about her:

“You are not a failure unless you quit trying! I cannot be stopped, with God on my side.”

“I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I find myself. I know how to make do with little, and I know how to make do with a lot. In any and all circumstances, I have learned the secret of being content—whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. I am able to do all things through him who strengthens me.”
— Philippians 4:11–13 (CSB)

“The least of these…”

To say that I am in awe of who God is would be an understatement—only God truly knows. Recently, I met with a client who handed me a stack of gift cards and said to use them wherever they were needed. What’s most beautiful is that just last week, a different client—a single mother of a special-needs little boy—lost her job.I so love that I am able—and honored—to be a facilitator of loving people unconditionally.
