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.

The Lord's Signet Ring

 

 

Pam Finlay - Acrylic on Canvas 2014

The Lord’s Signet Ring – A seal of the Holy Spirit guaranteeing our inheritance

 

The ring was given to us when we received salvation through faith as the gift of God.  He has placed that ring on our finger as co-heirs with Him, true sons, and has given us authority to make decrees in His name.

The sapphire signet ring speaks of revelation and authority.  We are living rays of the rainbow faceted crystals.  He is giving us multi-faceted understanding of his Word.  The sapphire represents the obedience to the will of God, faith in Christ.  The sapphire is consistently described as being around the throne of God.  It was one of the precious stones in the high Priest’s “breastplate of judgement”, Exodus 25 verse 15, Exodus 28 verse 17-21.

Sapphires can be a conduit of the Holy Spirit, allowing an uninterrupted flow of revelation, mirroring the creative beauty of the Lord whilst being beneficial vessels to manifest His glory here on earth. 

Sapphires are known to be exceptionally hard and “practically scratchproof” which metaphorically signifies endurance, steadfastness and perseverance, James 1 verse 3-4.

The sapphire stone is also mentioned in Exodus 24 verse 9-11, Ezekiel 1 verse 25-28, and Revelation 21 verse 18-19.

 Finally sapphires have the capability to allow an unhindered passage of light, the entire spectrum of the rainbow, hence the colours in my painting.  Jesus is our true light and that light is coming to us and through us.  “Christ in you, the hope of Glory” Colossians 1 verse 27.

Signet rings were used by ancient Kings to display honour and authority. (Daniel 6 verse 17, Genesis 41 verse 41-43).  The signet could also be worn on a chain around the neck (Song of Solomon 8 verse 6).
The signet is a seal, usually a ring, used to authenticate a document.  It is the ring of Kings who carry the highest authority in the Land.

Another unusual use of the word “signet” was the special engraving of the stones on the ephod of the high priest “like the engravings of a signet”.  Exodus 28 verse 11-14.

 In an unusual use of the word, Zerubbabel is said to be a “signet” because the Lord had chosen him (Haggai 2 verse 23).  Zerubbabel was a prominent leader involved in reconstructing the temple.  As God’s “signet ring”, Zerubbabel becomes a picture of the future Messiah, Jesus Christ, who will establish His people in the promised land, constructing an even grander temple (Zechariah 6 verse 12-13).  He will lead the righteous in never ending worship.

We are beautiful, precious stones in His sight.  His love is strong and firm and we can become bright and sparkling just like Jesus.  God is extending His authority to the true ambassadors of Christ and has set His seal to the healing, revival, deliverance and restoration His body are called to release.  He has chosen us to be his “signet ring”, true living stones of His manifest glory.

GOD'S HANDIWORK

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork."
Psalm 19 verse 1

SEEKING THE LIGHT - LOST IN HIS LOVE

Pam Finlay - Watercolour on paper, 12 x 8cm 2013

"Seeking the Light"

 

 

A bright light in a dim place

A perfect offering

The throne of grace

In the deep a light will grow

Bringing out God’s colours

Let the river flow

Growing abundantly

Shining on

Following Jesus

Himself the cornerstone

A lamp unto our path

Journeying within

Eliminating darkness

Consumed by Him

Jesus

Light of the world

Dawn from on high

Seeking His presence

Drawing nigh

John 8 verse 12

Again Jesus spoke to them saying “I am the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life”.

 

The Dawn from on high is Jesus, the one who is all peace, all light, all goodness and all

life

ZIONWARD

"Zionward" - Pam Finlay 2013 Acrylic on canvas

Isaiah 35

The future glory of Zion.

1 The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them,

And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose;

2 It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice,

Even with joy and singing.

The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it,

The excellence of Carmel and Sharon.

They shall see the glory of the Lord,

The excellency of our God.
Isaiah 62 verse 1

For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace,

And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,

until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,

And her salvations as a lamp that burns.

Psalm 80 verse 3

Restore us, O God;

Cause Your face to shine,

And we shall be saved!

 Psalm 87 verse 1

His foundation is in the holy mountains

Psalm 78 verse 68

But chose the tribe of Judah,

Mount Zion which He loved.

Isaiah 2 verse 3

Now it shall come to pass in the latter days

That the mountain of the Lord’s house

Shall be established on the top of the mountains,

And shall be exalted above the hills;

And all nations shall flow to it.

Revelation 21 verse 10

And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.

The mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established on the top of the mountain.

The materials of the mountain are of lively stones.  This mountain, Mount Zion cannot be moved, the dynamic love of God, the unalterable covenant of grace, established on the rock Christ Jesus, and guarded by the mighty power of almighty God. This power is established on the top of the mountain.  The city on a hill will be exposed from a wilderness experience to a blossoming garden of God.  It will be visible to all ( Isaiah 60 verse 4).

The colours in my painting are blue, green and purple which symbolize the glorified, immortal sons of God.  A prism will form through which the Son of Righteousness will shine through.  The green leaves in the foreground of the painting symbolize the “the harvest of the Firstfruits”, the bride of Christ.

 

Blessings
