MESSENGER

Pam Finlay 
"Messenger"
Acrylic on Paper
October 2017

As I was painting this painting today  I was sensing God was portraying a message of peace and joy
I was drawn to Psalm 97 especially verses
6 Heaven's messengers preach righteousness and people everywhere see his glory in the sky
11 For he sows seeds of light within his lovers, releasing a harvest in the souls of the righteous, seeds of joy burst forth for the lovers of God
12 So be glad, and continue to give him thanks, for God's holiness is seen in everything he does (TPT)
Be a messenger of His peace and joy.  Shine His light wherever you go.
Blessings

TAPESTRY


Pam Finlay 
"Tapestry"
Acrylic on Canvas
October 2017

This painting is called "Tapestry".  God is weaving an all colourful tapestry into the fabric of our lives.  He is leading the path that he has chosen for you.  When you are reborn in Christ his very DNA comes to live within you, running through your blood and in your spirit.  We become one spirit with Him when His Spirit joins with our spirit.  
The scriptures I received for this painting were 
the whole of Isaiah 61 but especially Verse 3.
3 To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.(NKJV)
Ezekiel 36:
26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
‭‭(NKJV)

FORMED ON LOVE

Pam Finlay 
"Formed on Love"
Watercolour on Paper
October 2017 
Marriage is so much more about God than us.  We were created to love the Lord and serve Him wholeheartedly.
This painting is all about marriage.  This year was my husband and my 33rd wedding anniversary.  The path of relationship is a life journey.  These 9 words describe the keys to relationship:
Dedication
Commitment
Honour
Respect
Obedience
Value
Trust
Faithfulness
But the most important key is "love" .  The marriage partnership is formed on love.  The love of Christ is our example, just as Christ loved us.
Christ considers himself incomplete without his bride.  He raises her to be one with himself.  He gave himself for her.  Love is the willingness to self-sacrifice.
This scripture spoke to me regarding this painting
Ephesians 5:25(NKJV)
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for her.
Blessings

UNTIL SHILOH COMES

Until Shiloh Comes
Pam Finlay 
Acrylic on paper
October 2017 

God has got the path of the bride all mapped out.  As I was painting this I heard "you are one with the fire".   Fan the fire of God in your life.  God needs "on fire" followers, who are set on following Jesus all the way.  He is the purifier of your soul.  As Christ's follower your heart belongs to him.  He desires a soul fully submitted to Him.
When Shiloh comes we have to be ready.  He's looking for the virgin soul, a bride filled with His wisdom.
The word "Shiloh" appears 33 times in the Old Testament.  The scripture in Genesis 49:10 is a blessing to Jacob's descendants.  It reads:
"the sceptor shall not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler's staff from between his feet,
Until Shiloh comes,
and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.

The Hebrew word "Shiloh" means "to whom it belongs".  God is looking for obedient people.  He is returning to where it all began, the restoration of Shiloh.  The inheritance of the kingdom returning to whom it rightfully belongs, His obedient people.

The other scripture that I received for this painting was Psalm 45.  It is a wedding song of the Anointed King and His bride.

Blessings
