"Getting Ready"




"Getting Ready"
22x28" Oil and Mixed Media on Canvas


I rarely know ahead of time what I will paint during worship, but am always seeking and listening to the Lord.  (It can be a little nerve wracking to step up with no plan).  On Saturday night, I spread some color on a canvas with a cake decorating tool, just because I don't like white canvases.  I woke up at 1 am and began to pray.  I had no urgency or strong impression.  I kind of thought I might paint a worship dancer.  I got to church early and began to meditate as the worship team practiced.  I set out some colors based on a color wheel.  As I walked to the back of the sanctuary, the Lord told me to look up" fiery eyes" in my Bible.  As I did, I found the white horse, and I found him clearly on my canvas.  It gives me goose bumps as I realize that this came just after our Supreme Court ruled in favor of gay marriages.  I did not preplan or think this out.  I beg you to pray for our nation.  I believe that God is our Supreme Court, and His word is Final.
Revelation 19:11-16 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him wascalled Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes werelike a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had[a] a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean,[b] followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp[c] sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS.
