THE BIGGER PICTURE - DOORS OF DESTINY CONTINUES

Doors of destiny continued…..  This painting started out as the tree of life.  I felt led to paint tracks through the foliage of the tree which is heavy laden with fruit.  When I painted the fruit it reminded me of spirals.  As I was painting I noticed double arched doors and when I turned the painting upside down they were revealed and the tracks in the foliage now looked like prayer steps of the warriors.  The tracks of restoration, steps of the forerunners, fuelled by God’s Spirit of burning, purified by His holy fire.   The fruit looked like whirlwinds from heaven that were moving and giving life, doing a work in us.  His glory is in the wind, bringing us closer to bearing much fruit.  He is raining righteousness on the spiritually dry ground.  These heavenly spirals of life are bringing us closer to Christ.  In the whirlwind Elijah just believed and he was taken up, raised up so to speak.

 The scripture that is speaking about His kingdom arising here on earth is Isaiah 60:1

 1 Arise (from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you- rise to new life) Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you (AMP).

The other scripture that is speaking to me is from Hosea 10:12 Sow for yourselves according to righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God); reap according to mercy and loving-kindness.  Break up your uncultivated ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, till He comes and teaches you righteousness and rains His righteous gift of salvation upon you. (AMP)

Have your heart softened, ready to receive the seed and bear much fruit.  Plant righteousness, harvest kindness.  Let us pursue knowledge of the Lord.
Hosea 6:1-3

1Come, and let us return to the Lord, for He has torn so that He may heal us; He has stricken so that He may bind us up. 
2 After two days He will revive us (quicken us, give us life): on the third day He will raise us up that we may live before Him. (AMP)

3 Yes, let us know (recognize, be acquainted with, and understand) Him; let us be zealous to know the Lord (to appreciate, give heed to, and cherish Him).  His going forth is prepared and certain as the dawn, and He will come to us as the (heavy) rain, as the latter rain that waters the earth.  

Blessings and love
