So I attended a house meeting with my mentor and teacher Lisa Schwarz and as she was praying over this sister in Christ to receive the oil I saw an opening right above her eyes in the spirit and oil started pouring out… so grateful I get to use my gift to show His kids what I see….
“And it will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all people; then your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.” Acts 2:17 CSB

It’s very exciting to know that the Holy Spirit is increasing His communication with His people. I feel very honored to have the opportunity to draw a vision for a client and sister in Christ. I’ve been working with her for about three and a half years.
We have walked through some hard seasons together with her adoptive children. She is now at the end of her parenting journey after 40 years—her youngest has just graduated. She is stepping into a whole new, beautiful season ahead of her.
A few sessions ago, I heard a prophetic word from the Holy Spirit for her: “I am making all things new.”
It’s even more exciting when confirmation comes. The very next day, her mom sent her a video of a song titled “All Things New.” But even more than that, she had a vision in church that Sunday. In the vision, she and Jesus were walking to the edge of her life’s boundary line, releasing her boys—her youngest two, whom she adopted—onto their side.
She shared “The beautiful part was that their side was lush and green. It wasn’t filled with established flowers, but rather had a wild, free look. That vibrant green brought me a deep sense of hope and excitement for them and their future.”

For many, many years, I have had the privilege of seeing things in the Spirit that God wants to reveal—not only to me, but to you as well. When this first began, I didn’t understand that these were prophetic acts from God being revealed to me. I simply responded based on what I saw, and I lived it out by painting or drawing it
In this season, God is revealing more deeply who I am in Him. For about eight months now, I’ve strongly recognized that something is shifting in my life. I can feel it. I’ve had new experiences that affirm it. Since returning from the Return Conference, there has been an increase in the spirit—something has shifted.
I know I need to trust Him without conditions and without expectations. I must believe that He is with me, and that all the years of growing, learning, and knowing are now leading into a season of harvest. More than that, I believe a new harvest season is coming. I know this for sure. I am beginning to get glimpses of what that might look like.
As I sat with the Lord, seeking direction, I heard very clearly and loudly: “The torch is lit.” In that moment, I saw what looked like my hand holding a torch that was on fire, burning brightly out of the darkness. I sat with Him for a while. Then, a few days later, I heard it again: “The torch is lit.” But this time, I saw His hand move in and take hold of mine.
In this new season—I know He is with me. I am chosen. I am His, and He is mine.
This tree is the result of a seed planted in 2022. I’ve tenderly nurtured and cared for this tree you see. The tree has a special meaning to me.
My parents have McIntosh trees on their land, and I have many memories of running in the fall to grab an apple from the tree before the school bus arrived. Those are pure, happy memories for me.
In 2022, I decided to see if I could grow a tree from a seed. The growth was substantial, and I was both shocked and in awe of what I could do with these seeds as I researched how to grow an apple tree from one. It’s not as simple as it sounds.
Everything I found said that if you get a seed from a “grandparent tree”—meaning one that’s very old and largely untouched by man—the odds are higher that you’ll eventually get fruit. But there’s another part to the process that helps increase those odds: grafting.
You can try growing a tree without grafting if you have a grandparent tree, but your chances improve if you graft a branch from a tree that is already producing fruit onto your tree. The challenge with grafting is that everything has to line up perfectly for the two trees to join together. The taping process, which helps hold everything in place, can be complex—especially when doing it alone.
There were times, as I worked through this, when I prayed, “Holy Spirit, Lord, I need Your help to hold this.” And it seemed as if everything aligned in those moments—as if angels were holding the branch so I could wrap the grafting tape around it.
The tree already has everything within it to produce fruit. It just needs the right connection—the source it came from—to come into alignment with it and increase its ability to bear fruit. That’s where grafting comes in.
It’s really like us. Scripture says we need to abide—we need to stay close. When you look at the process of grafting, in order for two things to stay connected, they must be held together for a long time so they can grow as one.
That’s a deep thought. In order for us to become one in our thinking with the Holy Spirit, we need to stay close—bound to Him through intimacy and through reading the Word. And as we do that, what flows through us is the power and authority of God Most High through Holy Spirit . Our heartbeat begins to come into unison with His.
““I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes, and he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me. If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown aside like a branch and he withers. They gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this: that you produce much fruit and prove to be my disciples. “As the Father has loved me, I have also loved you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commands you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. “I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.” John 15:1-11 CSB https://bible.com/bible/1713/jhn.15.1-11.CSB

Welcome to the next installment in the series, A Portrait of a Mother: Yanela.
There is one thing about Yanela that stood out when I first met her—this deep desire in her heart to do everything possible in this lifetime for her children. Yanela walks with empathy and compassion, and her desire to get it right shows in how she has laid down her life for her children.
She is so smart and kind, always willing to try whatever she needs to do for them and now she is working in herself also. She has a sense of humor that makes you want to just hang out and have a cup of espresso with her. She is so loving and loyal—a true blessing to the three little boys who call her mom.

When I asked the Holy Spirit to show me who I am, this is what I saw. That’s me in the fire, doing what I love most. This is a different kind of fire—not one that devours, but one that consumes and refines.”
This is something that I’ve learned on a deep intense way through a long season of refining. At one point I did everything for God instead of who I am in Christ. That is not changed I understand and my beautifully declare Holy Spirit you are my art.
““Son of man, face the south and preach against it. Prophesy against the forest land in the Negev, and say to the forest there, ‘Hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord God says: I am about to ignite a fire in you, and it will devour every green tree and every dry tree in you. The blazing flame will not be extinguished, and every face from the south to the north will be scorched by it. Then all humanity will see that I, the Lord, have kindled it. It will not be extinguished.’ ”” Ezekiel 20:46-48 CSB
“They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and rested on each one of them.” Acts 2:3 CSB
“He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.” 2 Timothy 1:9 CSB

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.

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.
