It all begins with prayer and communion with God. Getting on your knees and just being present. No distractions just watching & listening. Sometimes we may start to pray out loud (talking to God), making petitions, giving him praise, or just grieving. Other times we might just sing to him, I think this way is the way I usually get the most pleasure and joy. Then the pictures usually start flooding in.

Some visions are just for us, other times they are to relay a message. Praying with other believers helps to not only strengthen our own faith but also get a clearer relay of the message that is being perceived. This is so much fun because you get to hear different ways other believers hear God.

A prophetic word or a “word of knowledge” can express itself in many ways: a Bible verse, a word that keeps appearing, a picture, a feeling, a song, colors, even smells! God can communicate however He decides. I happen to be drawn more to pictures and visions. This is why creating my vision artwork can take a lot of time. The pictures are already in my head but not completely clear and finding a reference photo (which is how most professional artists create their work) can be difficult. However, the visions become clearer and clearer as I paint them though, so the creation process that goes into these works are entirely worship. :)
