Three times yesterday The Holy Spirit brought to me “the carrot on a stick” mentality many of us succumb to as if we are reliving a childhood cartoon over and over running our Christianity like a gauntlet. There is no carrot dangling in front of us, we already have our reward, Jesus here and now. The only thing we should be running to is in becoming more like Him. There is no stick as God does not punish as He knows who He is dealing with. He is kind and gentle and as He knows the plans He sets for us, rest assured all is right on time. Yeahhh but… when we think we are praying enough, saying the right prayers, thanking Him for answers in the making and disaster and folly loom, our pulses quicken. Our minds shriek “Delay! Delay! Delay!!” so then we double down on our prayers and praises and our soul focus is now on the delay itself. Even David in Psalms went from “My soul waits in silence for God only; from Him is my salvation” (Ps. 62:1) to see if zipping his lip and exercising more faith would produce results. And when it didn’t He went in with reverse psychology when he went all in on “I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched; my eyes fail while I wait for my God” (Ps. 69:3). The delay itself became the idol replacing the answer and it will trip a new lesson in what it means to let it go. If you want your prayers answered, give the entirety of them to God. The need, the want, the expectation, the results, the timing, etc. and step out of the “you know better than God” persona and realize you have other things to do in the meantime.

wanna hear of what you get when you make God your consistent focus? Exactly what it says in the Bible. For the past week I have had this “ball of foot pain” and I had no thought as to why. It just showed up and was incredibly painful. I talked to God about it as recently He had made me aware that it was important to sustain a routine. That my life needed a balance to my creating vs living. It was decided that both my dog and I would benefit with prayer walks with Him. And then my foot started hurting, threatening to end our walks. I told Jesus thank you for this, if you wouldn’t mind healing whats wrong I would really appreciate it, and let’s still go. So we went this morning again. The more I walked the less I thought about it. And now its fine. Praise the Lord! Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For You are my praise. Jeremiah 17:14

2 things to ponder on… 1/ It took Noah 120 years to build the arc. 2/ Everyone saw. And yet did not grasp the thing that was happening right in front of them. Can you imagine their thoughts the last 3 days? The Noahic Covenant From Genesis 9, this is a covenant God establishes with Noah after the flood in which he resets and renews the blessings of creation, reaffirming God’s image in humanity and the work of dominion. This covenant promises the preservation of humanity and provides for the restraint of human evil and violence.

Rise up in the bible denotes a spiritual ascent resulting from shifting your thinking towards a closer relationship with the Lord each and everyday, in all choices and decisions. Isaiah 60,  “Rise up and shine, for your light has come. The shining-greatness of the Lord has risen upon you. prints available at https://www.propheticsgallery.com/store-warehouse/art_print_products/store-warehouse-9xs-xb8teds

This took months and months to create! and is called The Weight of Roses. The story only is about the price of love. Are the petals rising? Or falling? Does the rose brings tears of sadness or joy? We love because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19 #artontheoutskirts #theweightofroses #thepriceoflove 🎶… and I think to myself, what a wonderful world… Original and prints available @ www.propheticsgallery.com/dahlheimer 24x30 wrapped canvas.

Thoughts ruminating around for a third book... There are downsides to being a seer. First, most think you are nuts or off the chart by a click or two, and that's fine because I don't work for them; I work for God. His opinion is the only one I am interested in. And because of that comes the second downside, a seer simultaneously works in passing along messages from the spiritual realm. One of the most important guardrails we need to embed into our thinking is listed in 1 Corinthians 12:10, "to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing (discerning) between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues." About this discerning... "To discern spirits is a supernatural ability enabled by God's Holy Spirit that allows a person to determine the source of a spiritual manifestation, whether it emanates from God, the devil, the world, or humans. If we have this gift, God will reveal information about the presence or absence of spiritual entities. Usually, people regard this gift as useful for detecting evil spiritual forces or influences. It can also detect the presence or absence of angelic intervention or the prompts of God's Holy Spirit working within us." I John 4:1, he writes, "Beloved do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." We are commanded to examine any spiritual teaching thoroughly with our critical faculties to see whether the presenter is accurately handling the Word of God. Because evil spirits have the capacity to produce paranormal phenomena, the Scriptures exhort us to prove or test the spirits, proving all things, holding fast only to what is good (I Thessalonians 5:21). Now then... you are most likely aware that demons/curses can, or will, dog a family. It is in the first paragraph of their job description to create dissension and chaos from things said, claimed, gossiped about, tattles, etc., and to share it with those who make their job more difficult, like me and others like me, who can see them and pray them to the sanctions imposed by God. Of course, I eventually catch on to "the who said what to who... whom..." after the stinging of my feelings subsides but not before dissension rose up under the guise of "why do I even bother?" even knowing that these demons operate in the shadows of lies. However, the thing about really good liars is that there is enough of the element of truth in the lie to make it believable. So yes, when "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I (meaning God) with them.” from Matthew 18:20, also know that demons lurk to tell on you. So keep it clean! Remember from my first book, Trade Secrets of a Seer, the story in Mark of the man who was healed because of his friends' faith... The devil wants you thwarted and even better if its from your own mouth. After all, the bible warned us of this in 1 Corinthians 4:5, "Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops." The bible really does have all the answers and warnings.

There I was minding my own business and on a long distance errand run that took me through the flatlands of my youth. I was singing along to the radio and enjoying the ride when I was drawn to a crow perched upon a street sign called Crown Way. Crown Way? Out in the area with lovely road names like 139th Street SW? Okay then Lord you have my attention. Note to self! I continued to see crowns and crows everywhere. So whats the deal with the crows? I read that they are known to spend much of their time feeding greedily upon carnage. That their color of jet black is linked as a symbol of darkness and represents Satan in some religions as unrest and ill-fortune and reinforced as a direct link to the presence of crows at battlefields, ready to dine upon the dead. Yet God has a fondness for them and as in I Kings 17: 5 it is said "So Elijah did what the LORD had told him, and he went and lived by the Brook Cherith, east of the Jordan. 6 The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from the brook. 7 Some time later, however, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land." I have to share "do you know why you never see a crow dead on the road? well because his buddies are up on the wire watching out for him and calling car car car" Ba-dump-bump. Sorry not sorry ;) "Okay then Lord I am always your willing vessel". And so this piece began. And then came the skewed pocket watch lassoed to the church steeple being pecked to pieces by another crow. All being swept into the portal made up of the blood drops of Jesus. I found it interesting that the crow is perched upon the Crown Way signage and not the Church Street. Watching. Observing. Revelations 13:13 "...fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people." Curious that there are eight crows pictured here... there is a nursery rhyme that tells: One for sorrow, two for mirth, Three for a wedding, four for a birth, Five for silver, six for gold, Seven for a secret not to be told. Eight for heaven, nine for hell, And ten for the devil's own self'. As I am painting this one I hear in my thoughts the song that Paul Simon sings... Slip slidin' away You know the nearer your destination The more you're slip slidin' away God only knows, God makes his plan The information's unavailable to the mortal man We're working our jobs, collect our pay Believe we're gliding down the highway When in fact we're slip slidin' away... And if that's not enough going on Revelations is also in the house! In particular Revelations 3:7 “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: "These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. 11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12 The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name. 13 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches." And with that comes here is Slip Sliding'. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CrJ7kZbthz5/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=

John 1:12 states... "But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God"Whoever said… “we are all Gods children” was misinformed… where does this idea come from? because we are not. Being a child of God is not a given nor is it accomplished by osmosis. Further explained at https://www.facebook.com/55355636529/posts/10160200506831530/?mibextid=tejx2t “People who make this statement really mean, “God created us all,” which is accurate. God is the Father of us all in the sense that he formed us and gave us life. We are not, however, all God’s children. Because God is a relational being, until we accept his gift of eternal life by confessing and repenting of our sin, accepting Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross on our behalf, and surrendering our lives to him, we cannot be his children in the truest, most biblical sense of the word. We are just one of his created beings.”

I dreamed last night of a person I know of causing me great distress. They stopped after I prayed a blessing from God upon them. See what happens when you change your prayers to “what would you have me do for you this day?” And did you know that when dreams are a spiritual experience they manifest into our reality. This I know… something changed. Was it her? Was it me? Probably. Thank you Jesus🌹 from Numbers 12: 6 And he said, “Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream.”

fool me once is too many times when it comes to my soul... sooo… more from my path… I was reading the other day the story of an elderly couple who had loved each other deeply for decades. The husband was ill and on his deathbed with his wife holding his hand telling him over and over tolook for the light, to not get lost, and to enter only into the light. Sounds lovely doesn’t it? I thought on it and realized how duped they had been. Do you know why? because… 2 Corinthians 11:14 “no. wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” know your stuff! I want all of us to not just see paradise from afar like a prisoner with a view but to step into it when our task here is done. why do I put “this stuff” out there? My reasoning is this… 2 Corinthians 11:3 says “But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.”

The idea board The steps And then... The before and after!I But is it done? I don't think so... A peacock feather swirling this would be amazing

Tom Jones sang..." Well she's all you'd ever want, She's the kind I'd like to flaunt and take to dinner. Well she always knows her place. She's got style, she's got grace, She's a winner. She's a Lady. Whoa whoa whoa, She's a Lady. Talkin' about that little lady, and the lady is mine..." https://youtu.be/V43fGInXiLE Esther. The origin Cinderella story. Song 7:8 sings "I will climb the palm tree and take hold of its fruit." May your breasts be like clusters of grapes, and the fragrance of your breath like apricots." So great was her willingness to lay down her life for her people that to this day there is a celebration in her honor called Purim. From Esther 9:22 "as the time when the Jews got relief from their enemies, and as the month when their sorrow was turned into joy and their mourning into a day of celebration. He wrote them to observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving presents of food to one another and gifts to the poor." A long time ago in a land not so far away a story played out of how the story of celebration of Purim came to be in the book of Esther. It celebrates Esther, an orphaned but oh so beautiful Jewess and her cousin, Mordecai, who raised her as his daughter. Esther was taken to King Xerxes to become part of his harem to replace the now disposed independent thinking Queen Vashti. Upon meeting Esther, King Xerxes knew that he loved her more than all others and made her his queen unknowing that his new bride carried a deep secret in her heart and that her beloved Mordecai had forbid her to reveal her true identity. She was indeed a hated and detested Jewess. Out of concern, Mordecai stood watch over her from the gates of the city each day. As every good story has to have a villain, in comes Haman, an arrogant, egotistical advisor to the king who hated the Jewish people and forbid them to enter the city of the King. Haman hated Mordecai's refusal to bow and honor him from the gates and retaliated with a plea to the king "There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your realm. Their laws are different from those of every other people's, and they do not observe the king's laws; therefore it is not befitting the king to tolerate them." Esther 3:8. King Xerxes bestowed their fate to Haman, to exterminate them at his pleasure. Alarmed, Mordecai persuaded Esther, "Do not think that because you are in the king's house you alone of all the Jews will escape. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?" Esther 4:13-14 , to speak to the king to stop this upcoming massacre knowing that it was dangerous for her or anyone to approach the king without being summoned. She agreed and fasted for three days to prepare herself. And relief! He welcomed her petition and agreed to attend the banquet in his honor. Whew! And according to Esther 7:1 "So the king and Haman went to Queen Esther’s banquet, 2 and as they were drinking wine on the second day, the king again asked, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be granted.” Awww... true love! As she asked her husband to grant favor that she and her people would be spared of Haman's plot to kill all Jews for money, her beloved King, said "But you may write as you please with regard to the Jews, in the name of the king, and seal it with the king’s ring, for an edict written in the name of the king and sealed with the king’s ring cannot be revoked.” Esther 8:8 and Haman and his ten sons were subsequently executed in the manner they had set aside for Mordecai and yay! the Jews were saved. As was custom, "That same day King Xerxes gave Queen Esther the estate of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came into the presence of the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her." Esther 8:1. Mordecai the Jew was second in rank to King Xerxes, preeminent among the Jews, and held is high esteem by his many fellow Jews, because he worked for the good of his people and spoke up for the welfare of all the Jews. Esther 10:3. And to this day, Purim, a Jewish holiday, commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from Haman and celebrates the bravery of Esther. And this is called 'Good Things Come in Threes. The glass slipper represents Esther herself and is filled with the wine of celebration. A gift filled basket is given out freely to friends and charities as well as representing the demise of Haman and his ten sons. It is enhanced by the blue for the robe given to Mordecai, first in an attempt at humiliation and finally in honor. Add in the apricots to sweeten your day as the symbol of encouragement as providing encouragement is our role as Christians. In the Bible, “encouragement” means to inspire with courage or hope, to give help, to lift a person’s confidence, or to strengthen their purpose. And oh what a purpose Esther and Mordecai had and carried out!

In Matthew 18: 2 2 He called a little child to him and placed the child among them.3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven Jesus tells us, “ whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Having faith like a child requires putting aside our will so that our opinions and misconceptions do not get in the way of trusting Christ wholeheartedly. This is The Two Empty Boats. Peter obeyed the Word of Jesus and saw a miracle! Luke 5:2 He noticed two empty boats at the water’s edge, for the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. 3 Stepping into one of the boats, Jesus asked Simon, its owner, to push it out into the water. So he sat in the boat and taught the crowds from there. 4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Now go out where it is deeper, and let down your nets to catch some fish.” 5 “Master,” Simon replied, “we worked hard all last night and didn’t catch a thing. But if you say so, I’ll let the nets down again.” 6 And this time, their nets were so full of fish they began to tear! 7 A shout for help brought their partners in the other boat, and soon both boats were filled with fish and on the verge of sinking.

Who was that masked stranger?? Bam! Biff! Wham! Splat! That conversation ricocheted back at me and hit me like a vintage action-packed television show! What was it? There I was just minding my business and those of mine as well, lol!, thinking that I was just doing my job, and rather than receiving kudos in appreciation for my stalwart loving and concern, I was met with resistance. Well! Resistance is futile earthllng. lol But seriously, do they not yet understand that it is in the promise spoken in Romans 9:8, "That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants." The promise is about living eternally in and with Jesus and who is who and who gets what. I pondered if I should have kept my mouth shut. That was my flesh thinking. The Spirit Man in me spoke up as I replayed the scene in my thoughts as the tune "I Can See Clearly Now" played in the background. He bolstered my angst that with age comes a lot of wisdom of what does not work. I took it a step further, and I asked God about all of it. And crickets were heard. I waited. Life resumed. I waited a little more. And then! I read a question on a forum asking "is it okay to disinherit certain family members from one's will for any reason?" I pondered on this and the quote, "with great power comes great responsibility" which is widely attributed to the character Uncle Ben in comic books published by Marvel Comics featuring Spider-Man came to my mind. True. And the more one accumulates, the more power is assumed and held as control over others. Money, and possessions, are not the root of all evil. The devil is. Money, and possessions are just the tool it uses. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 12:14, "Here for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I do not seek what is yours, but you; for children are not responsible to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.," which gives credence to the right course of action per God's will of inheritance. But what if one child did more? But what if there was an estrangement? But what if one, or even none of them, followed God's other command coming from Ephesians 6:1, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: 3 “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” ? The reasonings do not matter. Why? Because as it continues in verse 4, "And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord." And in this, I heard God's answer... Wrath? Nope. Admonition? Yes. The definition of admonition is advice or mild criticism. Asking someone to be cautious is an example of an admonition. Admonition in the bible is used in 1 Corinthians 10:11 regarding temptations, and in Ephesians 6:4 on not exasperating our children (and are not exasperation and puberty synonymous? lol) ,; and in Titus 3:10,"Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them" or basically hand them off to God and pray harder, of that which is to be administered for the correction of one who creates trouble in the church. Our homes are our first church. So speak up so they can hear you in the back and its even-Steven on the spoils of this earthly war and enjoy the other side when it comes to you. And God will sort out their conduct with a "come-to-Jesus-meeting". After all, "Romans 9:8, "That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants." My ancestors claimed their lineage for God. I am not just a cog in this holy wheel, but a willing participant. Parting thought... most know of the prodigal's son story. Little is mentioned of how his behavior affected his family... But God knows. And God dealt with it. And of course, all of mine are the best ever!! As I know yours are!! :)

This is called Windows 7, 11:58. It prophesies Romans 5:12 "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned" that through Jesus alone our sins can be forgiven and His light will shine for all to see. This was a wait and see work. Paint a little. Wait a little. Paint a little more. Wait a little more. And so on. There was to be no distinction between the sky and the ocean. And the ocean was to appear as sky. Then came the apple. "Really Lord an apple?" oh that cannot be right, show me a sign Lord, validate it please I thought. But apple apple apple... I looked up references to the apple in the Bible and there were quite a few. Not just regarding original sin but in Psalms 17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, in Zechariah 2:8 ...the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye. So I painted the apple. And WOW! the whole painting just popped. And then I saw the beams of light poking though the apple and out into the sky. "Where are they coming from Lord?" Then the church window presented itself. But it the light was coming through the window's stained glass cross. And then... the ahhh moment. Yes we came from sin. Yes we are His beloved. And yes... I was thinking the hands are at 11:11 but they are at 11:58 and the time grows short to be redeemed. All good things come to those who wait. Pastor Ameh Amana has indeed been a continued blessing along my walk with Jesus. Since heeding the Lord's call to be "all that I can be" He has put me in sanctuary to show me that the solitude will allow me to commune more deeply with him, that He will move me past imitation, and will not allow me to be affected by the outside influences. And yet my Lord has put thee most interesting people upon my path to enhance my learning and His teachings. Pastor A is among my favorites. When he speaks, I hear Jesus. When he speaks, I do not feel invisible. Pastor prayed on the painting 11:58 and this is what he shares . "I watched the apple and i saw that the beams of light issuing out of the apple are not of equal strength. I sense its a picture for us all as a body to teach each member of the Body of Christ to do check ups in the place of prayer perhaps there is a fruit in The Fruit of the Spirit that is shining in full strength or not at all. Galatians 5:22-26 THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT is  love,  joy,  peace,  long suffering,  kindness,  goodness,  faithfulness,  gentleness,  Self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. The window in the heavens is an aperture of the spirit that bring in the surprise of Pentecost. It is an opening akin to Acts chapter 2 1-4. Acts 2:1-4 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance NKJV A sound from heaven. A mighty rushing Wind. Cloven Tongues as of Fire. The Spirit poured in. Through a window orchestrated by many waiting prophecies like that in Joel 2 :28 The Whole house (CHRIST BODY) -the church- is pictured as an apple because the Fruit is superior in worth than the Force. But We need both the Fruit and the Force - the dynamic of the Spirit to sustain the outpouring of the Knowledge of the glory of the Lord revealed as the waters covers the sea. There may be imperfections in my delivery but the sense is perfect as by the Spirit. We owe this prophetic painting much prayers... Let us cry '...Oh Come ! Great Spirit Come!! '....We are waiting oh revive your Church afresh''. ~Pastor Amana, Nigeria How deep is His love? How deep is His forgiveness? All the way to eternity! Thank You JESUS!!
