Watching and Waiting in the River of Deliverance


Painted as worship during The River Conference in Denver Colorado, 2007. The conference featured teaching my Graham Cooke and worship by Ruth Fazal. (Click here for upcoming Conferences sponsored by Living Word Ministries.)

 This piece is very personal to me as my two children are the models. Abigael, of East Indian descent, is little Miriam, watching and waiting in the river for the deliverance... over her brother (in this case-our second child, Gracie is the model a beautiful African American baby). It is the story of the Faithful Intercessor. It is the a story familiar to many adoptive families. It is part of my testimony as I gave up Gracie to her birth mother after we parented her for the first year of her life. I am the mother who willingly put my child in the river and trusted God for her destiny to be fulfilled.

During the conference the Spirit of the Lord came very heavy in the area where we were painting. People began to sit around the paintings. God was thick in his healing. This was a  healing painting to me.

Although it was highly personal for me, it was painted at the conference while the people were grieving over and praying for Israel. I felt alone with the Lord, yet was part of the worship team in that I painted, reported, I was a scribe of what was going on in the Spirit at that very moment. I made visible, the invisible. The hope that Israel will see the Messiah-that the Deliverer will be delivered. The prayer of the Faithful Intercessor was painted that day. Look closely and you can see the Great Cloud of Witnesses rejoicing behind Miriam and the new mother scoops the baby out of the river.
