AWAKEN ALL NATIONS



"Awaken All Nations"
Pam Finlay
November 2014
 
 

A poem that preceded the painting

Stillness in the calm
Opening my mind and my heart to receive love
Footsteps up the mountain
A special pathway to follow
Excited at nature before me
The breath of life.
Smelling the fragrance of blossoms,
Patterns and secret language,
A continuous thread of revelation
like a tapestry in the circle of life.
Pieces being put together in a rainbow of colour.
Perfect Love lives here
……. And His name is Jesus
 The breath of Life, it is the life and the power of God and His breath brings all of creation together.  It is eternal.  The scripture that also came before I commenced painting was from Revelation 14:6

“Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth – to every nation, tribe, tongue and people

The everlasting gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the good news.  His Word is eternal. 
He is awakening our Spirit and opening our hearts to receive His love, His perfect love.  I am encouraged to stay faithful to Jesus.  The release of the white butterflies speak of the awakening, the transformational process, the spreading of His message to everyone.   Flying out into all the world spreading God’s everlasting good news. 

2 Corinthians 1:21, 22 is the guarantee to everything that he has promised.
21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us to God.
22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

Blessings

LET THE WIND BLOW - BLOWING SEEDS OF FAITH

"Let the Wind Blow - Blowing Seeds of Faith"
Pam Finlay
November 2014
The visual picture for this painting came while in worship at Church two weeks ago.   The dandelion flower being blown and the distribution of His Holy Seed to creation.   
The dandelion is an extremely resilient plant.  It grows wherever its seed is blown.  It can grow in the most opposing of conditions.  The dandelion will grow wherever it lands.   When the wind catches a dandelion it disperses everywhere.   Like Jesus as he is spreading the good news, He is everywhere, omnipresent.  He was sent by our heavenly Father to creation to send forth His seed.  We can receive His seed by soaring with Him in the Spirit, living the Word of God.   He is opening anew a fresh wind of His Spirit to blow over His people in a new way, blessing the hearts of men to receive the seed of His Word. 
To give birth to His promises the seed of His Word must be planted in our hearts and watered by faith.  God will cause it to grow ( I Peter 1v 23, Luke 8v 11, 1 Corinthians 3 v6-17).
Blessings and Love

THE PARABLE OF THE PREPARED

"Parable of the Prepared".
Pam Finlay
November 2014
Acrylic on Canvas(75 x 100cm)
 
 

Arise and shine, burn brightly for Jesus (Isaiah 60 v1).
He is lighting our way.  He is unveiling His presence, lighting our mind and heart with His thoughts.  He is making sure that we have our lamps filled with His Spirit, the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth.  Our oil must be fresh and new each and every day and we must keep our wicks trimmed (cutting away unwanted parts daily).  Golden light reflects off the lamps setting our hearts on fire for Him.   In the middle of night our hearts will yearn for you Jesus, communing with the Holy Spirit, knowing you, as we are becoming transformed into Your nature and character.  (Matthew 25)
Jesus is welcoming us into His heart.  He desires for His light to shine through us for others to see. 
He is gathering those from all nations who will shine His light, who are wise to have enough oil to keep their flame alight for the Lord.  Jesus is preparing His people, now is the hour.
Blessings
