Refine the City Original

This is the piece I was given at 420 Revival. At first, I was reminded of the old song that says, "We will meet in the golden city in the New Jerusalem." My spirit was singing this song for a while as I worked. So I thought it would be called "New Jerusalem."

But the night progressed, and as we were packing up, it started raining heavily. The piece ended up being splattered with mud and water. You can see some of the paint streaks.

The Lord began revealing to me a deep cleansing taking place from the ground up. It bubbled up from the depths below and washed the buildings of this fortified city from its roots. 

I looked up the term "Gold" in the Prophet's Dictionary, and it symbolizes the refinement of the spirit, royalty and transcendence. 

This was a confirmation of the washing I had seen previously!

His rain brought healing to many spaces in my life and the lives of others through this event, and I believe He appointed this piece to represent that process.
