Wind of Life

Dance with the Wind” by Meghan Williams, Dyed4you Art

{Vision} I saw the Lion of Judah breathing life on earth and creation, and that which looked dead began coming alive again. The river of life flowed from between His feet. A child stood next to the lion with a hand on Him and was laughing with joy and delight. I got the sense that this child was saying, “Again! Again! Do it again!”

After this vision, several words were highlighted to me: delight, laughter, joy, creation, restoring, renewing, tenderness, repentance, redemption, freedom to create, and creative breath.  Continue reading “Wind of Life”

Anointing Comes Through Repentance

Consuming Fire” by Meghan Williams of Dyed4you Art

{vision} Fire that looks like a rose dripping oil into another flickering fire below. 

The rose of Sharon is bringing the oil of thanksgiving to those who have been restored, healed, forgiven. This oil will stir up the passion for all that God has called them to as children of His kingdom. He has restored the lost and the broken, and the bitter hearts have been made whole. He is calling out to His children to repent and come to Him. He desires our hearts to be filled with Him and His love. He wants to pour out His anointing oil upon us, but we must be prepared to receive it.  Continue reading “Anointing Comes Through Repentance”

Our Songs of Ascent

Open the Gates with Praise” by Meghan Williams of Dyed4you Art

For many years, I was always curious when I came across the Psalms known as the “Songs of Ascent” (Psalms 120-134). I wondered what this special title meant and the story that sets these psalms apart. Over time, I discovered that these psalms are known as the Pilgrim Songs. Some scholars believe they were sung by worshippers as they ascended the road to Jerusalem to attend the three pilgrim feasts (Deuteronomy 16:16). Others believe that the songs were sung by Levitical priests as they ascended the steps of the Temple in Jerusalem. Another theory suggests they were written after the rebuilding of the Second Temple. Finally, there are scholars who think these songs were individual poems that were collected and given a title that would connect them to the Jewish pilgrimage after the Babylonian captivity.
