Open Heart

Open Heart

I created this image to represent someone having their heart filled with the love of God ( Romans 5:5 ) while standing on the edge of believing the wonderful message of the good news. The love of God is the blood of Christ, its the demonstration of his love for us. ( Romans 5:8 ) The heart is targeted, it is  God's irresistible grace drawing him to the love of God ( John 6:44 ). The light coming towards him are the rays of God's power ( Habakkuk3:4 ) which makes the drawing of God irresistible.
Father in heaven I pray that you will draw people with the cords of your love and kindness ( Hosea 11:4 ). I ask that people will have revelation of Jesus as Lord and his death, burial and resurrection and what that means for them. Reveal the breadth, length, height and depth of God's love to everyone viewing this image ( Ephesians  3:18-19 ). Amen

Cross Pollination

Cross Pollination

I created this image with an idea of cross pollination being like when in the body of Christ we impart different spiritual gifts to each other when we mingle in ministry towards each other in love. Paul spoke about something similar in Romans 1:11 where he said "For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you--". I believe that when we drink from different streams ( 1 Corinthians 12:13 ) in the church, or we cross pollinate or share the gifts God has given us we strengthen the members of the body of Christ in love and we bring life to the body. ( 1 Corinthians 14:31 ). The bees are the children of God and the flowers are the different churches. The bees are visiting the flowers cross pollinating the flowers with the glory of God.
I pray Father God that you will give us a revelation of who we have become in Christ, of how much love there is in us, that we have "Love" himself living in us ( 1 John 4:16 ). I pray that we will love each other more and more and be one in unity of the Spirit as we are one in Spirit  in the church and that the world may know that you sent Jesus through our love and unity. ( John 17:23 ). Amen

Creation and Industry

Buy work

Creation and Industry

I created this image to depict the struggle between God's creation and man's creation ( Romans 8:20-22 ). The left side of the image contains the tree of life and the river of life which represents Jesus. The birds represent the freedom of God's creation. The light on the left side of the image is brighter than the right side depicting two kingdoms, On the right side of the image there is freedom, but it is not rooted in love as it is birthed out of struggle and strife. The Statue of Liberty represents the freedom the world offers which is no freedom at all considering the lives lost to gain such freedom, and the tank shows this brutal struggle to keep that freedom or to gain it.
Dear heavenly Father I pray that you will help us look after this wonderful and beautiful planet that you created. Give us wisdom in how to take responsibility and protect the earth, and all creation. Thank you Jesus for your reconciliation of all things by making peace by your blood on the cross ( Colossians 1:19-20 ). Amen

River Tree


River Tree

I created this image from a scripture that says:
Jeremiah 17:7-8
7 “But blessed are those who trust in the LORD
and have made the LORD their hope and confidence.
8 They are like trees planted along a riverbank,
      with roots that reach deep into the water.
Such trees are not bothered by the heat
or worried by long months of drought.
Their leaves stay green,
and they never stop producing fruit.
New Living Translation (NLT)

The unicorn represents Jesus the Christ. I once went to a tapestry making shop in a castle in Scotland with my Dad, They were reproducing or mending old tapestrys and one of the tapestrys had a unicorn on it and it explained that in medi evil times the unicorn represented Christ in Christian symbolism. Here is a link to the series they were working on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunt_of_the_Unicorn.

The eagle represents the prophetic ministry and how often in difficult times prophecy can bring breakthrough even in times of drought. The river is the river of life ( Revelation 22:1 ) , it is also the still waters from Psalm 23. The sky reflects the vastness of God's creation reflecting the celestial realm. The silhouette tree with the crows and the moon are symbolic of the kingdom of darkness being driven back ( John 1:5 ).

I pray this image will bless you as you continue in your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and that the gift of prophecy will be used to encourage and build you up. I pray the water of life will refresh you and keep you safe from harm and you will continue to produce fruit for the glory of God.

Open Heavens

Open Heavens

I created this image to depict an open heaven. I believe that Jesus is the open heaven. We have access to heaven through the only mediator between man and God, Jesus Christ ( 1 Timothy 2:5 ). The door represents Jesus ( John 10:9 ), the red colour represents the blood he shed on the cross when he died, this blood was for the forgiveness of our sins ( Ephesians 1:7 ). The bokeh circles represent the presence of angels and God's manifest presence. The light rays are representative of the shekhinah glory of God.
The Holy Spirit indwells a person who believes in Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of the Lord, Jesus himself indwells us by Holy Spirit ( Galatians 2:20 ). Jesus is the door and that door is open, in you is the open door to heaven. There is a door that stands open before you, and in you, his name is Jesus ( Revelation 4:1 )
I pray Holy Spirit will release the revelation of the open heavens that are in Jesus and that we can know him deeper.

Lion of Judah

Lion of Judah

I created this image which depicts Jesus the lion of Judah ( Revelation 5:5 ) resting in his glory, watching over a city. The girl represents child like faith as she stands so close to the fierce lion ( Matthew 19:14 ). The silhouette of a tree with crows in it represent the kingdom of darkness that is present in the city but the glory of Jesus and his kingdom is advancing against it with force ( Matthew 11:12 )
I pray this image will open your heart to the king of the kingdom of heaven, the lion of Judah. He will protect you. Approach him with childlike faith he loves you.

Holy Spirit Descending

Holy Spirit Descending

I created this image depicting the Holy Spirit coming to earth as it was promised by Father God when Jesus ascended to sit at the right hand of his Father after Jesus had be resurrected from the dead, after he hung on the cross and was buried. He promised that he would not leave us as orphans but would send Holy Spirit to comfort us and be in us John 14:16-18
The dove represents the Holy Spirit coming to earth with fire. The blue lights are the angels coming with the Spirit. The clouds represent the glory of God and the heavenly realms.
Heavenly Father I pray this image will bless people to remember the precious Holy Spirit and to fellowship with him and receive the love of God through his ministry of comfort and help. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you and to reveal the love of Father God and the Lord Jesus to you and his grace.
