This part 3 of our 3-part series is such an inspiring conversation of how Dan uses his prophetic gifts: painting, art, music and just loving on people. As an artist and a minstrel, he shifts atmospheres. He shifts the way the whole city of Raleigh, North Carolina functions because of taking authority in the spirit realm. We set a lot of the stage in parts 1 and 2, so if you guys missed those, definitely go back to spiritcenteredbusiness.com, or wherever you enjoy the podcast and pick those up.“Painting…doing these HUGE paintings which are light frequencies, and then playing music—sound frequencies, were the tools that God put in my hands.”Be sure to WATCH TO THE END for a virtual walk-through of one of Dan’s jaw-dropping paint and sculpture installations!HIGHLIGHTS:Art & Anointing: The Power of Creative Authority“The painting has one kind of authority in the spirit, one kind of anointing. The music has another kind of anointing.”Art isn’t just visual—it carries spiritual weight. Whether on canvas or in melody, creativity releases divine power in unique ways.“Because when I go and play, demons literally flee. And angels literally come.”Every Instrument is a Spiritual Weapon“Every instrument is a different weapon for a different purpose.”Music isn’t just sound; it’s strategy. In worship and warfare, different instruments release distinct frequencies that shift atmospheres. Sound carries spiritual authority. When anointed artists play, they don’t just entertain—they break down structures of darkness and release divine encounters, building the Kingdom of Light.Mastery Takes Commitment“Oh, he’s just talented. Well, yeah… but I practice every day, and I’m 70 years old. I’ve practiced every day for 60 years.”Anointing + discipline = unstoppable! Creativity isn’t just inspiration—it’s dedication. Stewarding your gift over time is what unlocks mastery.The Prophetic Power of Surprise in Art“It’s that surprise and delight of texture, color… that makes it prophetic and gives it authority in the spirit realm.”Art isn’t just about replicating reality—it’s about revealing the unseen. The unexpected elements in a painting carry prophetic weight, shifting atmospheres and releasing spiritual authority.Painting as a Divine Lens“My job is to paint how God saw this town… And I don’t know about you, but my God is happy.”Art isn’t just self-expression; it’s a way of partnering with God to bring His perspective into the world. When artists paint with heaven’s vision, they infuse joy, hope, and Yahweh’s divine perspective into the atmosphere.We’re Called to Hold the City’s Steering Wheel“Every city has a steering wheel… Get out of the trunk, or the backseat, and get in the driver’s seat.”Kingdom-minded entrepreneurs, artists, and visionaries are meant to shape culture, not just observe it. The real influence happens in strategic locations—those spiritual hotspots where decisions are made, and atmospheres can be transformed.Spiritual Authority Comes Through ActionTransforming cities isn’t just about talking—it’s about taking bold, prophetic action. Whether through prayer walks, declarations, or artistic expressions, small acts of faith can create lasting impact. Creativity and faith collide to bring real transformation. If you’re in the marketplace or the arts, this is your sign to step up, create boldly, and shift culture for God’s Kingdom!Where You Stand Matters – Geographic Authority“Wherever you put the soles of your feet… there’s something to that.”Echoing biblical principles, this highlights the power of physical presence in spiritual warfare. Pastors, worship leaders, business owners, and influencers are encouraged to take their authority beyond the pulpit and into the streets where transformation happens.Excellence in Art Belongs in the Kingdom“I’ve basically made a career out of not working for churches… and yet the biggest job I’ve ever done ended up being for a church.”The irony? God led him back to the very place he avoided, but with a twist—this time, they honored and compensated his work. His 26,000-square-foot art installation for a children’s ministry proves that the church can be a place for high-level artistry when visionaries value and invest in it.>>>BE SURE TO WATCH to the end to see a walk-through of this astounding creation!!LINKS for DAN:- Dan’s Website: https://dannelsonart.com/- YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/@dantheartman- Literally the World’s Best Wedding Painter: http://Weddingpainter.com LINKS for BRALYNN:- Coaching for Business and for Healing: http://SpiritCenteredBusiness.com- Get Bralynn’s Book!
