Love That Melts

Original prophetic painting on canvas by Holly Otten

I painted this image in 2016 from a vision that God gave me regarding America. Shortly after God led me to create the large US map poster. During this time when God was burdening my heart to pray for America's salvation, He gave me a dream. You will see the correlation of my dream with the 2 heart pictures that I created. I have entitled the dream "Don't let go!"

Don't Let Go!

The setting felt like I was in the Arctic. I was dressed for the weather conditions which happened to be blizzard-like. There was a very high steep mountain that had stairs leading up to the top. The scene shifts and I find myself at the top of the mountain and I am holding onto a rope that is attached to a man who is dangling far below the mountain top. I am exerting much energy and strength to not let go of the man because I did not want to see him fall to his death.
Next to where I am standing there are 2 very large double doors made of steel. They are closed and look impenetrable without a key.
Throughout the dream I am trying so very hard to not let go but it is very difficult because I feel very tired and weak from holding on for such a long time. Sometimes I feel that the rope will slip from my weary hands.
The dream shifts again. I find myself on the other side of the double doors that are now open. There is no blizzard, no man, no more struggle. It is warm and not cold. Standing in front of the double doors are 3 men, positioned side by side. I knew that they were responsible for opening the doors.


My interpretation:
As an intercessor I have been given the assignment from God to pray that America (her citizens) not die--spiritually. It is my calling to contend for the salvation of America. The freezing cold represents the frozen heart of America that has hardened itself toward God, rebelling against and rejecting Him. I get weary from the long and arduous fight to save America (her citizens) from eternal damnation. My prayers and the prayers of the Church will cause the Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit to open the doors that lead to America's salvation. Our prayers will cause the love of God to melt the frozen heart of America, turning her heart towards Him.

“For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’"
Matthew 13:14-15
