//Creative Arts Painting

God has words and images and expressions of His heart that can only be uttered through the visual arts, and even now He is raising up a tribe of artists who will lose their lives in worship to Him and open their hearts to the breath of His Spirit.  

Ecclesiastes 11:5 says “as you do not know the way of the wind, or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, so you do not know the works of God who makes everything.” We are the very workmanship of God; Creatures of the Creator. It is when we acknowledge this truth and submit ourselves to His will, that God is able breathe through us and manifest His kingdom onto the canvas.  

Jesus said to His disciples whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. (Matt. 16:25)  Again He says to them the wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes. So is one who is born of the Spirit. (John 3:8) As we learn to completely submit ourselves to Christ and allow Holy Spirit to fill us and consume us, we are literally going to see manifest the heart beat and glory of the One who made it all. He is the Holy one who created all things and very soon we will gaze upon new expressions of His never-ending beauty and wonder-filled love.  

God is birthing something totally new in the arts right now and it’s a wave of creative worship, propelled by Holy Spirit, that will carry the life and living waters of Jesus Christ. The glory and anointing on this new wave of creation will be so thick and so alive, that as believers and non-believers come to gaze upon the work they will be drawn into rich encounters and deep revelation of the living God and the magnitude of His power and glory.  

So, get excited and see what He will do! Its gonna be out of this world.
