I had finished painting, yet the music still played. I wasn't seeing anything, so I stepped down from stage. Our pastor came up and said, "What are you doing?" I told her I was done. She said, "No, I really feel like you have something to paint...a prophetic act." I gulped, submitted to her, and climbed the stairs to the stage...praying.

I sat down, gulped and asked God, "Now what?" He said, "Pick up the purple." I started painting..."Now the blue..." Again I painted. "You are going to paint the gates...you must paint them!"

What transpired was what Dutch Sheets shared later as "a mixing of mantles to accomplish what the Lord was doing." Pastor Kelly prayed and interceded behind me the entire time. The anointing was so thick at times I was shaking, trying to stay seated and paint perfectly straight lines.

There is an eastern gate by the state of Florida that is going to welcome in the King of Glory that will impact the whole nation. But these gates need to be opened and the King needs to be welcomed.
