Christine Nichols, 2012 |
This abstract was painted in March 2012 at
First Love's Art Workshop in LeSueur Minnesota. All my paintings
begin with prayer. I ask for the Holy Spirit's guidance from beginning to end
(from choosing the canvas and paint colors to the last brush stroke), that the
Lord's message would go forth through the art, and that Father God would be
glorified.
I believe all
prophetic art has a message, but what the Holy Spirit speaks to me about a
specific piece of art, may be different than what the Spirit says to you. Seek
Him for a personal interpretation.
The Lord has given a few abstracts that can be displayed in multiple ways. Here's individual views, which I think, changes the feel of the painting. When hung horizontally, it reminds me of the curvature of the earth, God's glory, and the heavenlies.
While a vertical view reminds me of a surfer riding a huge wave. It gives one pause to realize the raw strength and beauty of God's creation, but none stronger than the Creator, Himself. He in control. He reigns Sovereign over ALL!
A number of titles have been suggested for this painting such as Illumination, King of the Universe, and Sea Wave. My working title is "Mystery." I love a good mystery and this painting still intrigues me.
One of my favorite passages of Scripture reveals a mystery! Paul writes, "Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”[Isaiah 25:8]

55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”[Hosea 13:14]
Where, O death, is your sting?”[Hosea 13:14]
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore,
my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always
give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that
your labor in the Lord is not in vain." 1 Corinthians 15:51-58
