Release of Destiny

Tonight I was hanging out with my good friend Kathy, and we had a great work out together and then began to talk as women do. The fact that we waited until after the workout before really getting into a conversation is amazing enough and worthy of a blog just in itself.


But that's not the reason for this one. As we were talking, we began expressing some dreams and visions for our lives that we want to see come true. One thing that I love to do is act. I love every part about it. I love the rehearsals, the getting into the character's head, the performance, the praise afterward, the knowledge that what you just did touched someone. Acting (among many other things) is a form of worship for me. Even if what I'm acting has nothing to do with the Lord. This is my passion and my heart, and so when I act I come alive. And just through that life Jesus shines through.

This summer I want to try and get some people together to go out and do some form of street ministry using drama. I told my friend this and she was reminded of a word given several years ago. She didn't remember all of it but she promised to look it up for me and let me know what it said in full. I will let you know what the word actually said. What she did remember was that part of it was prophesying how art would release destinies in those who view them. Meaning that while someone is looking at a painting, or watching a movie, or reading a book that was made out of the prompting of the Holy Spirit, that person would know who he or she really is and what he or she is meant to do.

Can you imagine?!?!?!? After all we do we watch movies, or look at paintings, or read books, or listen to music? They stories that they tell, the pictures they present stir something in us. They touch places in our hearts they we hardly admit that we have.

This is what I want to do. This is what I want my life to be about. I want to be used by God to release the destinies of those around me. Just by living out my destiny, I can join the Holy Spirit in this.
