Tonight I went to an all night prayer/worship/prophetic art gathering at the First EV Free prayer chapel. I start with a blank canvas and no idea of what will end up on it. After an hour and a half, this is what emerged this time. It certainly means something specific to me but rather than render my own thoughts on the piece, I would prefer to hear yours so consider this your invitation to dig into the painting. I welcome any interpretations you have.

i'll share a few thoughts.
1. the brown "background" looks like older brittle paper, which speaks to me of the enduring message of God's love demonstrated in sacrifice and resurrection. brown is also the color of humility.
2. the hand looks to me to be set in the flames of blue. fire, representing passion, is what i see. he hand being nailed to cross is done in the context for releasing the kingdom and kingdom people who will bring the impossible into the possible.
3. the small color that look to be released from his hand remind of (a) incense and the aroma of compassion demonstrated as laying down one's life for a greater cause and mission. (b) a release of the seeds of the kingdom of God.
3. blue is the color of communion and revelation. in christ's sacrifice with find his heart having common union with the father's heart. from that place of oneness revelation is released.
is the painting for sale? how do i get a print or a copy?

Bill,
I guess I see the redemptive hand of Christ beckoning us through the flimsy barrier between time and eternity. Uncle Wayne
The hand represents the active, participating, powerful hand of God as perceived by different kinds of Christians. The duality of perspective represents two different views of how God accomplishes His works in the earth and how His kingdom is revealed.
The blue swirls represent individual actions by God in the lives of His people to heal, comfort, and deliver the saints that call upon His name and believe Him to act in their behalf. In one view, the supernatural movements of His Spirit are but a hint or foretaste of the goodness to come, when once we enter in (bodily) to His kingdom.
In another, contrasting view, the supernatural swirls becomes the quite natural ebb and flow of life's events, as depicted by the gentle breezes, when the Christian becomes an extension of God's will in the earth.
The broken leaves represent the pieces of certain men's lives that have been broken up by circumstances as a result of not living their life surrendered to the will of God and by not placing their entire future in the palm of His hand.
The whole flower represents the totality of God's work within the soul of the man that places his life completely within the realm of God's kingdom. The end result is total restoration and completeness. This is emphasized by the beauty that is re-created from what was once brokeness and further emphasized by the placement of the complete flower as one of the central objects within the picture frame.
The canvas that has been partially removed reveals a hand that is contrasted with and accentuated by the blue background. The flesh-toned canvas represents the current perception by most Christians of the workings of the kingdom of God. The hand that is now visible within the exterior, cloaking canvas lies on a deep, royal blue background that highlights the serene majesty and comforting presence of His kingdom come in our lives.
The truth of the painting is that Jesus is changing the way that Christians understand the works of God by revealing more of His kingdom to us.
Well, since you said it was prophetic art... I say look forward in your blogging the the fire & tingling experiences that you are writing of in September. If it truly is prophetic art, I see it as a sign of what is to come in your future... just a thought.
