Eternity In Their Hearts

Acrylics on canvas. 24x30

WORD

Beloved, the swiftly moving, perilous storm, the storm that you thought would overwhelm you, has passed! Come out of hiding and enter

into a new beginning with me. Throw open your tightly secured door to Me and discover at the same moment that I have already thrown open My Doorway to you. Find yourself standing where you always hoped to stand— out in the wide-open spaces of God’s Grace and Glory, standing tall and shouting praise.

Come and explore, experience the adventure of our journey together!

I see that you need a fresh Vision for your Calling, your Holy Mission, your Divine Destiny in Me. I have Prescribed this Vision for your Healing. Inscribe this Vision onto your Heart as I bring clarity; align your thoughts and desires to My Vision and Mission for your life. Subscribe to this Vision until it becomes a necessary part of your everyday life.

Now, see what I’ve done! I’ve opened a Doorway before you that no one can slam shut – the Doorway to new opportunities, more favor, greater impact and provision to accomplish the task I have set before you. Your worship opens the Doorways to all My Goodness, Power and Love.

See these keys in my hand? I am giving them to you to release Wisdom, Love, Joy, Peace, Hope,

Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness, Strength, Self Control and Faithfulness in your life. You have complete and free access to God’s Kingdom, keys to open any and every door: no more barriers

between heaven and earth, earth and heaven. A “yes” on earth is “yes” in heaven. A “no” on earth is “no” in heaven.

You are commissioned by Me to be a light to all nations, a Minister of Reconciliation. Go proclaim My Salvation to the four winds and seven seas! The entrance to The Kingdom of God is open to all who are willing to come through it. Unlock the Door of Reconciliation for those who still remain outside, so I can welcome them into My Presence.

I Am the Way, I Am the Door, I am the Gate, I Am the Key that reveals all of God’s mysteries. All wisdom and knowledge are hidden away in Me. Listen to what I say. I alone can open or lock the gates of Death and Hell with the Keys in My Hand. When I open a door, no one can close it. And when I close a door, no one can open it.

Where is the Throne Room of Heaven? What will it be like to join in worship with all the saints and heavenly creatures  surrounding the throne forever? 

Symbolic Abstraction 

This painting represents the energy and power in Heaven. I found a deep space photograph that reminded me of the power and flashing lightning from the Biblical descriptions of Heaven. The layers of jewel-like color and metallic pigments brings out the power streaming from the center. The heavenly hosts appear as dots of gold. Other creatures appear and disappear in the atmosphere as you set your gaze upon them. The overall effect has dimensional qualities that change in the light

WORD

The Lord-of-the-Angel-Army is protecting this territory like an eagle soaring in the sky. He exhibits His personal concern for His people like an eagle hovering over its young, then, spreading its wings, lifts them into the air and teaches them to fly.

He is defends and protects us as He wages battle from the heights of our mountains of praise. He is not dismayed by the work of the enemy in our midst. He is about to swoop down and spread His wings over this land and the enemy is helpless to fight against Him.

The towns will be captured for His glory and the fortresses of opposition will be taken. God will lead us into our new territory of authority. The fortresses of opposition will be taken, and God will lead us into new territories. Then we will feast with Him in victory as the harvest of righteous souls are gathered in.

WORD

God has raised His banner of Love over all His People. Watch! He’ll lift up His hand to the nations and raise His banner to His People, and gather in his Sons and Daughters.

He will lift up His Hand to the nations, and raise high a Rallying Banner, visible to all peoples to show His Mighty Power! All the inhabitants of the earth, when a banner is raised on the mountains, you’ll see it. When a trumpet sounds, you’ll hear it!

The Veil that separated Heaven and Earth has been torn wide open, and the Heavenly Army has been released. He commands His Protecting Angels to defend the Four Corner of the Earth – as we raise our Banners of Praise over our Territory.

Raise a banner on a bare hilltop! Cry out loud to them! Give a wave of the hand, signaling for them to enter the gates of the nobles. Your Worship is your Supernatural Arsenal.

Keep your feet firmly rooted on the Earth – but stretch your arms and hands toward heaven in Praise.

Crush the enemy and destroy his weapons with your Worship.

Break down the strongholds of fear and defeat as you dance and sing His Praises.

Stand in My Strength in the midst of your toughest battles, says the Lord, and I will Fight for you.

Stand and see the Salvation He has planned, wrought and accomplished for you, for this place, for this time. Enter the Gates of the Nobles and enjoy His Good Pleasure

WORD

Within the Tent of Meeting Extravagant Beauty dwells securely in Love. There at the crossroads she takes her stand, besides the gates in front of the town,

at the entrance of the portals. Without restraint she creates extravagant Bouquets of Love, Bouquets of Appreciation and Bouquets of Praise with the works of her hands.

She dresses herself with strength and works with willing hands and strong arms.

Strength and dignity are her clothing and she laughs at the times to come, unafraid

of the storms of life. She is beautifully crowned with Wisdom. As she raises her voice in the market place, Kindness, Peace, Joy and Love are on her tongue.

She stretches wide the tent to enlarge the protective covering of Love – so all can enter into its Goodness. She perceives that her merchandise is profitable, so she opens her hands to the poor and reaches out to the needy.

Many women have done excellently, but she surpasses them all. Give her the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the Gates.

As believers God's Presence surrounds us and we carry the Spirit of God within us. We are Citizens and Ambassadors  of Heaven, and so we bring the Kingdom with us wherever we go.

When the people sing and dance and wave their banners in honor of the King of Glory the gates of heaven open. As we gather together we join in the worship already taking place in the Throne Room of God. It is here that we present our requests and God brings our healing.

WORD

Your praise opens the Gateway to My Presence, My Beloved Bride. Your worship creates a transitional weave between Heaven and Earth where we unite. I smell the fragrant incense of your prayer offerings and I Am Well Pleased. Enter with Thanksgiving and I will reveal My True Identity to you, Who I Am for you, in such a time as this. Call upon My Name because I Am Good and overflowing with Love for you. Trust in My Heart for you because I, Myself, Witness to the TRUTH of Who I Am.

I Am the Man-Savior - As the Son of Man I Am tender and loving, I understand you because I have felt your pain and suffering. Turn to me and look upon My face; come to Me for your Comfort and Healing as we abide together.

I Am the Servant-Savior – Like the Ox, I Am the willing servant, and sacrificed Myself for you. I ALONE bear the weight of your completed salvation by giving My Life as a ransom for many. Come walk along beside Me - My Yoke is easy and My burden, for you, is light, as we work together

I Am the King-Savior – The Lion of Judah! Reigning in victory, boldness, strength, and vigor. I will stand against all of the evil that the world hurls against you. I will cause My

Righteousness to prevail in your life, as we fight side by side for the Kingdom.

I Am God the Savior – Like the Eagle, soaring with Strength and Power to strategically protect you. I Am God, I Am Transcendent and able to see from up on high and bring you new insight.

I bestow Divine Power in your life and cause you to rise above tribulations and triumphs, as we fly together.

Watch and be utterly amazed. For I Am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told in advance. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; and it will not prove false. Though the fulfillment of My Promise may linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay according to My Time and Purpose.

In this painting I imagine the scene in the Great Temple at Jerusalem as Jesus, while dying on the cross, cried out, "It is Finished." 

WORD

Jesus knew that everything was now finished, and to fulfill the Scriptures said, “I’m thirsty.” A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so a sponge was soaked in it and put on a hyssop branch and held up to his lips. When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished,” and bowed his head and dismissed his spirit.

John 19:28-30

And look! The curtain secluding the Holiest Place in the Temple was split apart from top to bottom; and the earth shook, and rocks broke, and tombs opened, and many godly men and women who had died came back to life again. After Jesus’ resurrection, they left the cemetery and went into Jerusalem, and appeared to many people there.

The soldiers at the crucifixion and

their sergeant were terribly frightened by the earthquake and all that happened. They exclaimed, “Surely this was God’s Son.”

Matthew 27:51-54,

WORD

This territory has been claimed for the Kingdom of Light and a great harvest is coming.

The Heavens are watching with anticipation to see how we will join in. Darkness must flee when the Light is present and we all are shining brighter than ever before with the presence of Christ. Darkness has already been defeated as angels assist us to be victorious.

New tactics and strategies are in place that will impact the Kingdom of Light. The harvest will be bounteous as we move through courage and bravery to FEARLESSNESS!

Then we can proclaim to everyone this Truth -

With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ’s being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous,

low-lying black cloud. A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death.

WORD:

Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. - 1 Corinthians 13:12

WORD:

“Who is this coming up from the desert, leaning on her Beloved?” 

(Song of Solomon 8:5)

My Beloved, I have put you over My heart and upon my arm, never to be taken off, for
My love is stronger than death. Many waters cannot quench My love for its bright light is the very Fire of the Lord.

I have clothed you with My Garment of Salvation and draped about you the Robe of My Righteousness, for I am your Bridegroom and you are my pure and spotless Bride.

I turn your sorrow into gladness and have taken away your clothes of mourning and have clothed you with My Joy. 

Arise, My Beloved, and come away with Me, for the darkness of winter is past and New Life is springing forth.

Come, clothed in My Sacred Garments, and I will endow you with My Bountiful Blessings to bring you into fullness of Life in Me. 

Sing glad praises to the Lord, Beloved! Praise Him for His Majestic Glory and Strength, for the Glory of His Name. 

Praise Him for He has clothed you with splendor and majesty. He has endowed you with eternal happiness. He has given you the unquenchable Joy of His Presence. And because you trust in the Lord, you will never stumble, never fall; for you depend upon the steadfast Love of God.

WORD:

I Who divided the light from the darkness and brought the galaxies into motion - I Am the Light and give you the Light of Life. I AM the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the Author of Time. 

I who created the sky above and the eternal heavens beyond - I AM from above and I AM with you.
I AM in you and together we are in the Father, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 

I Who separated the waters above from the waters below - I AM the Spring of Living Water which flows from deep within you like a river. I AM coming with your Healing and I will wipe away every tear.

I Who brought the land up from the depth of the seas and commanded the waves to go no further - I AM with you. I AM the gate which keeps you safe and from it I send you forth into the world.
Just as I calmed the stormy sea, I give you My peace, be still and know I AM God. 

I Who designed each living plant for its purpose and place: to reproduce its own kind and fill the earth - I AM the Living Bread of Life which came down from Heaven; given for the world. I AM the Living Vine, listen to the Holy Spirit and abide in Me.

I Who fill every part of the earth with living beings and bestow it all to my greatest masterpiece, humankind - I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life. I AM the Good Shepherd who laid down his life and for you. I AM the Lamb Who was slain before the creation of the world to make atonement for your sins. I AM One Witness who prays and intercedes before the Throne to reconcile humankind with God. I AM alive; raised up from the dead; your Victorious Messiah. 

I Who sit on the Throne of Heaven look upon all of my creation and declare, "I AM pleased," because it is Good. I AM the King of Glory, seated at the right hand of God the Father. I bless all creation to be fruitful and to be Holy, like I AM Holy. 

Behold, I AM coming soon. So, raise your eyes and voices to Me with all of Creation.
Lift your arms and give a wave offering with your hands. Take up palm branches and come out to meet your Creator, shouting, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the King of Israel!”

Rejoice in the Lord, your God.  Let everyone on Earth join with the all the saints and angels in Heaven and the trees of the field that clap their palms together to bring honor, glory and praise forever before
the throne.

Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters like corner pillars carved for the construction of a palace. You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and the trees of the field will clap their hands.

WORD:

Rejoice, and again I say, rejoice!

Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!” 

May the hearts of those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, “The Lord is great!” The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart! May the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful. Let all who take refuge in the Lord be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Lord, you spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

Let all the peoples in the Earth come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will rejoice in the bounty of the Lord— the grain, the new wine and the olive oil, the young of the flocks and herds. They will be like a well-watered garden, and they will sorrow no more.

The Lord takes great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing. Once more the humble will rejoice in the Lord; the needy will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. Therefore, my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest in hope.

My soul will rejoice in the Lord and delight in his salvation. I will be glad and rejoice in his love, for he saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul. I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!  Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:1-9

WORD

The Lion of Judah is our sun and shield. He is the source of

light, and life-giving power, like the sun shining in all its glory.

He is crowned with the Crown of Life; the Incorruptible Crown; the Crown of Righteousness; the Crown of Glory; and the Crown of Exultation. His chosen people honor Him and are His precious jewels displayed for all to see. He is the heir to the throne of David forever, and He is fully at rest as He roars in glory. He is the Law-giver who judges righteously, and forgives with compassion and mercy.

He shepherds His People with an iron scepter and His Banner of Love over us declares He is our triumphant Lord. He is Victorious from the beginning to the end of time; and He is the ruling authority for all Eternity.

His Shield of protection proclaims Holiness to the Lord.

Engraved in Onyx stone are the names of His People, Israel,

who live to prove His unfailing promises are true.

As a rampaging Lion He fights against evil, and saves

the upright in heart.

He extends an Olive Branch and puts forth a Treaty of Peace for all the Earth.

He bestows His grace and glory to those that walk in His

Truth, and gives us His endorsement to be a nation of

Kingly Priests.

In His right hand He grasps the Heavenly Scroll with 7 seals;

ready to reveal the fate of all souls in the world. This is the moment that the entire prophetic Word of God has

been pointing to when all of Heaven cries out, “Who is worthy to break the seals on this scroll and to unroll it?”

Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has

conquered, and proved Himself worthy to open the scroll and

to break its seven seals. He entrusts the scroll to be opened by the Lamb of God, who was slain before the beginning of time, for all sins, for every person, for all time! He offered Himself as a living sacrifice, and the power of His resurrection gives eternal life to all who receive His merciful gift. Although the Lamb lives, he still bears the wounds that had once caused

His death. He has seven eyes which are the sevenfold spirits

of God overseeing every part of the earth. As the Lamb received the scroll they sang, “You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it; for you were slain,

and your blood has bought people from every nation as gifts for God. And you have gathered them into a kingdom and made them priests of our God; they shall reign upon the earth.” “The Lamb is worthy (loudly they sang it!), the Lamb who was slain. He is worthy to receive the power, and the riches, and the wisdom, and the strength, and the honor, and the glory, and the blessing.”

“Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb,” God himself has stated this. For the Lamb standing in front of the throne will feed us and be our Shepherd and lead us to the springs of the Water of Life.

No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly

and follow Him. God will bring His People home again; it is a

promise from the Lord, and He will wipe our tears away.

So, join the Heavenly Hosts singing the song of Moses, the

servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: “Great and marvelous are your doings, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, O King of Ages. Who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify your

Name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, For your righteous deeds Have been disclosed.” Blessed are those who believe it and all else written in the scroll.

WORD

This certain hope of being saved is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls, connecting us with God himself behind the sacred curtains of heaven, where Christ has gone ahead to plead for us from his position as our High Priest, with the honor and rank of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 6:19-20

Now, when sins have once been forever forgiven and forgotten, there is no need to offer more sacrifices to get rid of them.

And so, dear brothers, now we may walk right into the very Holy of Holies, where God is, because of the blood of Jesus. This is the fresh, new, life-giving way that Christ has opened up for us by tearing the curtain—his human body—to let us into the holy presence of God.

And since this great High Priest of ours rules over God’s household, let us go right in to God himself, with true hearts fully trusting him to receive us because we have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean and because our bodies have been washed with pure water.
Hebrews 10:18-22
