POIEMA / 2026

Mixed Media Collage On Canvas

20 in X 24in

This painting represents the Destiny Scroll God has written for each of us—the purpose and plans He prepared for us before we were born.  The Lord began speaking to me about my personal destiny scroll this past March 2026 and this painting represents what He has revealed to me as I've studied His word.

We can seek the Lord and ask Him to reveal what He has written on our Destiny Scroll. We don’t have to know every detail all at once. We can come to Him with childlike faith, trusting that He will reveal what we need to know and lead us step by step in our walk with Him.

In this painting, the angel holding the clock represents a vision given to the lead prophetic artist during a meeting as we planned for an upcoming retreat, Heavens Pallet, Fall 2026.  In the vision, the angel was holding the clock and announcing, “RESET.”  The clock hands at 12:00 represents a resetting and acceleration of time as we walk into the new. We must keep our eyes focused on Jesus and be about our Father’s business.  It is a call to allow the Lord to continue to refine us by surrendering to Him daily as we walk into the new territory.  We must be willing to let go of our usual way of doing things and move forward God's way, not turning back.  It may be uncomfortable at times but we are to move forward into what He has prepared for us and keep our lamps full. 

The word “Reset” aligned perfectly with what the Lord was speaking to me regarding destiny scrolls and so became a part of my painting for the prophetic art teaching I was to lead at the retreat - Mixed Media Collage. 

The map in the background represents the nations.   

The child touching the butterfly represents childlike faith, the posture in which we receive our scroll and all things from the Lord.

Butterflies represent the transformation process that we walk through continually with the Lord.  He is always teaching and revealing.

The flowers represent the garden, intimacy with God, the secret place where we meet with Him.  In the secret place God reveals what He has planted and purposed for our lives.

The words scattered throughout the painting are the scripture teachings that were highlighted to me as I worked on the painting.

We are His epistles, we have the living letter (Jesus Christ) within us, written upon our hearts.  Ephesians 2:10 states, "We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." The term “workmanship” is translated from the Greek word “POIEMA” which signifies a poem, a masterpiece or a work of ART.  We are His masterpiece, His poems, created with intention and precision.  This powerful imagery reveals that each of us is a unique creation, intricately designed by God for a specific purpose. So amazing, only God!

Psalm 139:16 speaks of a heavenly book or scroll in which the days of our lives are recorded even before we come into existence. This book/scroll contains the divine assignments, and the unique contributions we are to make in the world. The works/our scrolls are not merely tasks to be completed but are integral to our identity and calling.  Your life is a sacred narrative, authored by God Himself, full of meaning, promise and divine significance.

Walking in these good works is our act of aligning with the divine blueprint set before us.  We follow HIS blueprint for our lives…our DESTINY SCROLL.  Just ask and then step into His promises with childlike faith. 

Psalm 56:8 says, You number my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book?

So come up the mountain of God for the Master Builders plan, your scroll. We ALL have a custom destiny. The word “Yes” on the flower within the garden is our surrender and how we receive the scroll.  We trust His Kairos timing and receive it with a “YES” in our hearts before we even know what is written on it.  

God can deliver a scroll in many ways: Visions, dreams, prophetic words, scripture, a whisper, an impression. Intimacy with Him, praise and worship in the secret place is crucial. Just ask Him in prayer and faithfully walk out the destiny He has prepared for you as He reveals it. 

The words “Therefore Pray” is Jesus’ command for us to pray and is a KEY.  The Holy Spirit highlighted (Matthew 9:38) as I was reading a book by Oswald Chambers, “If You Will Ask” Reflections on the Power of Prayer as I was completing the painting so I included it in the painting with the key. “Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”  Prayer is the essential work, not preparation for the work.     

The word Heaven is a prayer...Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Amen

Scripture:

You are our epistle (letter) written in or hearts, known and read by all men; clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is the heart. (2 Corinthians 3:2-3)

Your eyes saw my substance; being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. (Psalm 139:16)

Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.  (Matthew 9:38)

You number my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book? (Matthew 56:8)

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earthe as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:9-10)
