GLORY!

                                 GLORY

When we thought of the Glory of God we first saw His face and how beautiful and powerful are His features and expressions. But, behind Him we could see a bright gold light coming forth with drips of colors washing around Him. Psalm 63:2-3; "I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon Your power and Glory. Your unfailing love is better to me than life itself; how I PRAISE YOU!!"

"..and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the temple of God." 2Chronicles 5:14

"Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the court was full of the radiance of the glory of the LORD."Ezekiel 10:4

"Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple."Ezekiel 43:5

 Lord, we ask for Your GLORY to FILL THIS PLACE, THIS CITY, THIS REGION.That You would be thick upon us!! In Jesus name we ask, Amen

THINE IS THE POWER by Aaron Hollingsworth

Gods' POWER ,
what does a glimpses of that look like? That was the question asked of the Lord as this craftsman took paint upon his fingers and painted. What does it look like when we pray the Lords prayer and declare that,
" THINE IS THE KINGDOM , THE POWER AND THE GLORY FOREVER, AMEN"

Kingdom

“REND THE HEAVENS AND COME DOWN, FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM”

As a small group of about 6 craftsmen gathered and sought the Lord for His heart and vision of His Kingdom coming to earth this painting represents what we saw and heard.

“ Arise and Shine, for your light has come, and the Glory of the Lord rises upon you. See darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples but the Lord rises upon you and His glory appears over you.” Isaiah 60:1-2

“Oh, that You would rend the Heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you!” Isaiah 64:1

These two passages resonated in the hearts of 6 craftsmen as we took paint upon our fingers and painted what we were seeing and feeling the Spirit saying to us about the topic of THINE IS THE KINGDOM…

We did the majority of the piece with 6 sets fingers in a pallet of color worshipping as we painted. Images began to form in the heavens as we painted and we simply pulled out what God showed us.

As we cry out to God rend the heavens and come down there is an angelic host who say to us rend your hearts.

May a spirit of wisdom and revelation rest upon each one as you gaze into this painting.

THE LORD IS A SHIELD FOR HIS PEOPLE "PROTECTION"

"O,Lord, You are a shield about me, you bestow glory on me and lift my head" Psalm 3:3 "Contend O Lord, fight, take up Your Shield and buckler, Arise come to my aid. Brandish spear and javalin..."(Psalm 35:1-3) "The Lord will march out like a mighty man like a warrior. He will stir up His zeal; with a shout He will raise the battle cry and WILL TRIUMPH OVER HIS ENEMIES!" Isaiah 42:13 "The Lord, He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me. O Lord, what is man that You care for him the son of man that You think of him?" Psalm 144:2-3 "The Lord is a sun and a shield...." Psalm 84:11 On the Shield you'll see an emblem of the Lion of Judah with a double edged sword coming out of His mouth, Revelation 1:16, describes Jesus like this, "In His right hand He held the seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp double edged sword." Below the Lion is an inscription in Hebrews that says, "the Lord will battle for them". As you look into this painting you'll discover many elements of the spiritual battle raging around us. Ephesians 6:12 says, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." At the top you'll find a shining sword cutting through flames. In the midst of the flames you will see the battle and what the Lord is using His shield and sword against. You'll see the importance of our picking up the sword and shield of Gods Word and of Faith that Paul writes about in Ephesians 6:13-17 The Lord tells us that He will train our hands to battle, Psalm 144:1. We need to be willing to learn. There is a bowl with oil pouring out from beneath a cloud that is dripping. In the top of the bowl of oil is a tree of abundant life. The oil that flows around it is filled with iridescent colors that stream down over the edge of the bowl on to the shield. "prays pouring forth." The dripping of the oil begins to resemble the tassels of a prayer shawl as they hang over the edge. The Lord is our PROTECTOR and the One who TRAINS OUR HANDS for war. As we seek His face in prayer He will give us guidance in the battle.

FREEDOM

FREEDOM by Sara Davis

The main direction the Lord gave me was that freedom is a banner, freedom is a treasure, freedom is not just the absence of bondage. Freedom is an overcoming spirit and glory fire. The way to freedom is only through Christ. Freedom is THE FREEDOM that comes from the wounds of his hands and the fire of refining. Freedom is not just the open door to the guilded bird cage it is the flying out!"

"Forgivenness"

"Forgivenness" by Aaron Hollingsworth

What does it look like to "forgive" or to receive "forgiveness" and to begin to walk in "forgivenness"?
