I went with a friend of mine to hang her art up at Universe City. We ended up meeting a lot of people who seems totally broken and oppressed. It was like you could see the clouds of darkness surrounding them. It was crazy. But one of them in particular names Mason started engaging my friend and I. I had written some Christian lyrics on my leg “Speak to me and breathe in my new life” as a petition to the Lord. Mason was really intrigued by the concept and started to talk to us more in depth. He told us how broken, hopeless, and homeless he was, and how he desired to have a relationship with someone that he could just be with, that he could just talk to. He started painting this picture and it had the caption “Need Love Now” and a heart. It was a really dark painting. I had already begun interceding for him, asking the Lord for his heart for Mason. Then Mason handed the painting to me and said, “I want you to work on this, I think you know exactly what to do with this. You know what’s going on.” I was baffled. So I started working on the painting, and fixed it to say “Have Love Now” and began painting it in blues and greens, trying to brighten the picture and put life in it. Colors are always really prophetic to me. And Mason just kept talking about his life and how he really doesn’t feel like he’s living and he’s worthless… and the lies kept coming. I was painting in blue, and started to explain to him that the colors are important and that I wanted to put hope, and renewal, and joy on this painting. I began telling him the struggles that I had with feeling unworthy and dead and that the Lord was the one that changed that. I told him that it’s possible to engage with the Lord on a personal level and talk with Him and to be loved by Him. He told me he knew that the Lord loved him, but that he didn’t feel like he could go to the Lord, that he wasn’t good enough and would be bothering Him. I told him it was a lie and that the Lord is eager to be with him, that God created us to be with Him and continued to prophesy over him. I told him about how the Lord has been providing for him and desired to talk with him all the time and loves him and thinks he is worthy and wants to be his friend. I asked him if it made sense, and he said that it made more sense than he even wanted it to. I left while he was having an artisan jewelry maker make him a cross to wear. I feel like the kingdom covered Mason in revelation and protection. I’m going to continue to intercede for him. The Lord is so awesome!
