As a teenager and young adult, creativity was a huge part of my life. It was not unusual for me to do all kinds of craft. I made most of the clothes I wore. As life became busy, I left most of this behind especially while I was going to nursing school and later working as an RN. It seemed I had lost my ability to create. It was reflected even in my own home. My home did not reflect my personality and my God given creativity.
A few years ago, a prayed a prayer to God asking Him to restore the gift of creativity back to my life. During this time, different ideas started forming in my mind. Most of the art pieces I did were simple pallet wood signs, later progressing to paintings on pallet wood as well as other things. Then I started painting 8X10 acrylic paintings, mostly of birds, flowers and animals. Now I am designing products for sale via Printify which is a print on demand company. There will be a link to my Printify Shop and LilyWorks Market Place on www.terrywilliamsministries.com website.
LilyWorks Developed Over Time…..
I was inspired to call my artwork LilyWorks. There is a scriptural reference concerning the building of Solomon’s temple that mentioned the lily work design in the temple. This scriptural passage can be found in 1 Kings 7:18, 16, 19, 21, 22. As a result, I felt led of God to name my art business first LilyWorks and later changed the name to LilyWorks Market Place.
1 Kings 7:19, 21, 22
1Ki 7:19 Now the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars in the vestibule were of lily-work, four cubits.
I found that the capitals where the lily work was found were not merely for structural benefit but had a deeper meaning worked into it by the craftsman. The designs had deep symbolic meaning. The lilies and pomegranates symbolized purity, abundance and divine favor.
1Ki 7:15 He cast two pillars of bronze. Eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured its circumference. It was hollow, and its thickness was four fingers. The second pillar was the same.
1Ki 7:16 He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
1Ki 7:21 He set up the pillars at the vestibule of the temple. He set up the pillar on the south and called its name Jachin, and he set up the pillar on the north and called its name Boaz.
1Ki 7:22 And on the tops of the pillars was lily-work. Thus the work of the pillars was finished.
Meaning Behind the Name…..
There were two columns mentioned in this passage. These 2 columns were placed on the porch of the temple. At very top of each column was a lily work design. The pillars were 27 feet tall, too high for the human to really enjoy. Without a doubt, the lily work design was place there for the enjoyment of God. The two pillars were given names, which is certainly an unusual act. The right pillar was named Jachin, meaning “may He establish” and left pillar was named Boaz meaning “in it is strength”. In the beginning of the conception of LWMP, I did not realize the depth of the meaning of the name.
Later I discovered the purpose of the names of the pillars and the lily work designs at the tops of columns were to give God glory and pleasure. I knew without a doubt that the forming of this business was definitely a God thing, His blessing was upon it.
A while back I posted on Facebook to look for changes in the ministry. I had been praying about making changes to the ministry. I had not been doing the maple tree videos for a while and sensing that it was time to start again using media for the furthering the kingdom of God as well as encouraging fellow believers in their walk with the Lord. Lily Work Outreach was birthed during these times of prayer.
Lily Work Outreach is under the umbrella of Terry Williams Ministries. Right now, Lily Work Outreach is the face for our media outreach with other outreaches coming in the future.
The heart of this ministry is to give God glory and honor in all that we do whether it is blessing the Daughters in Uganda, publishing social media content through videos or written word, or encouraging other ministries through prayer or finances.
If you are regular follower of the ministry on social media, you may also have noticed that I have been posting products for sale. The purpose these products is to provide finances for the ministries for administrative costs and to help different ministries one of which is the Daughters of Hope in Uganda. After much prayer, we have decided the LilyWorks Market Place will be under the Terry Williams Ministries umbrella.
As a result, 100% of the net profits from the products sold will go to the ministries of Terry Williams Ministries. Currently we do not receive regular donations from individuals other my husband and myself. We do get occasionally donations especially for the Daughters of Hope. So, I desire your prayers and support in the coming months as we move forward go about doing good just as Jesus did in Bible times.
Our desire is to be His Hands, His Feet and His voice throughout the world. Just as the right pillar was named Jachin, meaning “may He establish” and left pillar was named Boaz meaning “in it is strength” so it is true today. Believing this is a prophetic over Terry Williams Ministries and Lily Work Outreach that in His strength this work is being established.
I also believe the two pillars mention is a prophetic word over your life. If you will surrender to His purposes in your life, in His strength you will be established!
