NEW BEGINNINGS - A TIME TO PLANT

"New Beginnings - A Time to Plant"

Acrylic on Canvas

God's springtime is  a time for new beginnings and new growth.  It is production time, the beginnings of the manifestations of Gods promise in your life.  There’s hope and expectation, new opportunities.  It is a time for sowing and planting, and for new growth to emerge and all you have to do is stand and wait for your flower to come into full bloom. 

Eight is the number of new beginnings, we are new creations in Christ Jesus. 
When Jesus came up out of the tomb He was the new beginning.  He is the head of a new creation people.  His Kingdom is being revealed on this earth, awakening to the sound and fragrance of heaven. 

Colossians 1 v18

“And He is the head of the body of the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the pre-eminence.”

Believing in Jesus, who has the pre-eminence in everything.  Jesus is the head of the body, the church, and He rose up from the grave that we may follow him in resurrection life.

John 1 v1-5

1 “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the word was God.

2 He was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

4 In Him was life and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it”.

Genesis 1 v1

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

The number 8 represents circumcision of the heart through Christ and the receiving of the Holy Spirit.
Those in Christ are becoming a new creation with His character being created by the power of God’s spirit. 
By God’s grace and love we will be given a new beginning, as promised in God’s Word. 

A time of new beginnings is a time of singing, fruitfulness and a blossoming time.  We can enjoy the sweetness of his presence and the fragrance of His Word.

Song of Solomon 2 V11-13

11 " For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.
12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
13 The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grapes give a good smell.  Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away!"

 

Also the scripture from Revelation 22 v2 “The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations”. 

This is a time for healing and restoration.  New growth is coming forth.   Thank you Jesus for living in us.

THE GARDEN OF HIS HEART

The Garden of His Heart - Pam Finlay 2013

Acrylic and collage on canvas

This painting was done in November 2013.  Before sharing about it in our congregation the Lord instructed me to place band aids on the heart and literally remove them as I was sharing the message.  He said that those band aids covered wounds in people and unless they were removed the wounds wouldn’t heal.  Like when a sore is covered  it doesn’t heal.  This painting was painted in an hour, in the Spirit.  The Lord told me to go to just one magazine off the shelf and he would show me the words that needed to be placed in the painting.  They were all found in that magazine.  The following words and sentences were revealed and if you look closely at the painting you will see them all. 
They were the words: 

The Vine       Dream       Step Up         Home          Fruit          Loved           Passion

 

Power         Time           Grow            Hope        Redemption       Things will be exposed

 

Master        Prune back to get more         You are my sunshine my only sunshine    

Fragrance        Rose           Transform  

All found in a short time from one magazine.  The centre (Jesus) is in the centre of our heart, a locked garden, a garden enclosed.  Song of Songs 4 v 12.    He is longing to become one with His bride, beautiful with no flaws, abiding in the vine(John 15 V4-5).

We must walk in purity to walk in full power.  A repentant heart, living in peace, a clean heart.

Psalm 51 v 10.

The blood purifies the heart.  A right condition of the heart is necessary.

To be utterly immersed in divine love, will keep us grounded in Christ in the midst of all trials.   The eternal cross saves us from self. 

Jesus desires to live in our hearts. 
Revelation 3 v20

“Behold I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me”

He desires to enter in to our heart to change us.

2 Peter 1 v 19

The prophetic word confirmed which you would do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts

A pure heart edifies.  His prayer in the garden “Make them one as we are one” (John 21-23).  Love is so important.  Blessed are the pure in heart.  For they shall see God. (Matthew 5 v8).  He is motivated by light and love.

Your garden will flourish on righteousness and fruit.  He will plant in our heart our deepest desires, causing us to bloom.  He is saying open that gate to your heart and you will have entry into His garden.  That garden is full of fragrant flowers, glorious colours, incredible beauty, paradise, the garden of God.

Blessings

BETWEEN THE CHERUBIM

Between the Cherubim

Acrylic on Canvas, Pam Finlay,  May 2014

 

In between the Cherubim, guarding the way in to the Father’s heart.  The Tree of Life is in the midst.  It is found within our garden and only as we move through the fire will we discover it.  Proverbs 25 verse 2.

We are his vessels living entirely for Him.  The heart on fire, a season when people are coming to end of self.  A royal priesthood is arising (1 Peter 2 verse 9).  The cherubim speak of that which will come forth.  They are of the Mercy Seat. 
Between those cherubim God communes with us.  He speaks to us (Numbers 7).  God spoke to Moses from the between the two cherubim. 

The cherubim point to Jesus.  The cherubim represent the identity to see.  They look towards the mercy seat.  They are in the mercy seat.  The mercy seat is the cover to the Ark of the Covenant.  They identified with the person and work of Christ.  They speak of in-Christed ones, new creations in Christ Jesus, redeemed people who are in perfect union with Christ (2 Corinthians 5 verse 17). 

They reveal the glory of God.   The cherubim shine in this new image of gold, they are the express image of God’s thought, the Sons of God.  They veil the glory of the Father’s image while there is still flesh.  All spirit is required to see. When our heart truly desires him he will reveal himself to us.  The garden of life, this beautiful place is waiting to be revealed to you. Love the Lord your God with all your heart.   The cherubim of pure gold shall see him.  “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God” Matthew 5 verse 8.

IT'S ALL IN HIS HANDS

"It's all in the Fathers hands"

John 7 verse 38

 He who believes in Me [who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me] as the Scripture has said, From his innermost being shall flow [continuously] springs and rivers of living water.

 

Tapping into His living water, just believe and let it flow.  I finished this painting yesterday.  The peace of God flowing in and through our hearts.  The peace that Jesus imparts to us, as we rest in His grace.

HE IS RISEN

"He is Risen" - Pam Finlay Acrylic on canvas 2013

 

This painting is from a series of paintings for an upcoming exhibition entitled “Times and Seasons”.

The painting is a prophetic picture of

Luke 24 verse 2
“They found the stone rolled away from the tomb”

 

Luke 24 verse 6

“He is not here, He has risen”

 

Jesus endured at the cross to give us life.  Thank you Jesus.

John 8 verse 12

"Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world.  If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life".

John 12 verse 46

"I have come as a light into the world so that whoever believes in me should not abide in darkness".

When you accept Jesus in your heart, His light will shine forth, to guide your thoughts, words and actions. 

Romans 13 verse 12

"The night is far spent, the Day is at hand.  Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light".

The light of God, Jesus, the bright morning star has arisen to shine in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God.  He is revealed to the purified heart of the believer.  Jesus is resurrected in us to be our true Lord.  Amen

Blessings

EMPTY VESSELS FILLED

EMPTY VESSELS - PAM FINLAY

MINIATURE WATERCOLOUR 12 X 9CM

 

2 Corinthians 4 verse 7

"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us."

God is looking for empty vessels to fill.

He is seeking people who have died to self and have the desire to be spirit filled.  Willing vessels.  However the vessel must be empty before he can fill it.  The vessel must be humble, wholly yielding to Him.  Philippians 2 verse 1-11.

God desires a vessel He can use and fill.  His grace fills the vessel.  Philippians 4 verse 19

The fullness of God waits upon the empty vessel.

To be filled with the fullness. Humbling ourselves is the key.

My God will supply all of my needs according to His riches in Glory.

His manifested Glory.
We are complete in Jesus.  He is our all-in-all.

Amen.

 

Blessings

The King is Coming

"The King is Coming" - Acrylic on Canvas April 2014

Pam Finlay

 

Last Tuesday the Holy Spirit gave me – The White Horse, Jesus Faithful and True, The Bride, The Archangel Gabriel and the Cloud of Witnesses.

After meditating on the Word of God on Wednesday the above was supernaturally revealed in a background that I had started on the prior week.  Immediately when I started shading areas the horse and other figures were revealed in the painting. 

Jesus is saying that at the blowing of that shofar, he is calling an end to war and signalling a time for transformation.  It all begins with the transformation of our heart.  A new creation awaits you.  He is offering us, at this appointed hour, a new life in Him, a fresh beginning, and transformation of our heart and mind.  The key lies in humbling ourselves and submitting our lives unto Him. 

Gabriel’s arms are raised high as he blows the shofar, calling us that the time is at hand, the King is coming.  The white horse(the word of God) and his rider Jesus, Faithful and True is expectant for the bride to become ready as the bridegroom desires to become one with His bride, the church.  He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 19).  He is the judge and is always faithful to His promise.  He speaks from the heart of the Father, pure love.  He is bringing into being a faithful and true spirit within us.  He is the sovereign emblem of holiness and justice.  He is the triumphant conqueror, victorious.

A new dispensation is about to come to pass.  He is restoring the Promised Land, cleansing the hearts and minds of His people which will reconcile His people unto Him.  His kingdom will become mature sons. 
 
He is coming with great power and glory. (Matthew 24 verse 30) offering His people transformation. 

All of us will gather together in the fullness of time, and our love for Him will flow like a river between us and almighty God.

 

Blessings
