PROPHECY
is simply the articulation of God’s words in the words of men.
The word “prophet” means literally “one who speaks
for” another, in this case, God. The prophet is given access by
revelation to the mind of God about a particular situation, and then he
proclaims it forth before others.
Our
desire is simply for the prophets to discern the will of God for our
lives, and to speak it forth; then the intercessors pray and declare
that will into life; finally our worshippers give praise and glory to
God for His incomparable greatness in accomplishing His will in our
lives.
WORDS
FROM A PROPHETIC ARTIST
What
happens when I paint prophetically?
God is our CREATOR and we are imitating His creative glory though an
intimate relationship with Him. We are speaking in His unspoken
language – heart to heart, spirit to spirit. Much can be shared
and touched within us where words sometimes cannot reach or express.
With art, an intimate and personal exchange goes on.
It
is to ask for the Holy Spirit to tell me what to do and then I wait.
Sometimes it is color. Sometimes it is just picking up the brush and
starting somewhere and the movement follows. It is listening and
obeying. There is much spiritual preparation - prayer and soaking and
asking for God’s presence...and asking Him what His word is for
us. Cleansing anything of mine out of my brain and continuing to do so
throughout the whole process. It is necessary to stop when things stop
flowing and continue to worship and pray always. It simply develops on
its own.
Maia,
a 9 year old girl, can paint prophetically. Children come from a pure
connection with God, so when they paint they come by it naturally and
have a great deal to share. When they try to express their experience
with God and their command of the language is limited, they can paint.
When Maia is properly prepared and asked to wait for God’s
direction, she knows how to trust the Holy Spirit for direction.
We
are imitating our God - Artist to artist.
