Awakening. Margaret, 6 October 2021 At first it was nearly all white, but I felt that it needed colour and once I had added some, I felt that it represented an awakening of the Holy Spirit within us. Possibly a re-awakening for some of us in preparation for what is to come.

The Blessing Within. Sue Sometimes we need to be still and know that He is God. We need to look deeper and look beyond the facade.

I Am In You. Sue, started on 9/6/21 Jesus said … I am in the Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.John 14:20

Margaret. Flame of Life

Sue. Only Surrendered Hearts. Started at Encore 26/5/2021

Sue. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Sometimes in the rush of life we find no time to stop. Without a thought for God we feel that we've left Him behind..... The Lord says, 'No you didn't.' The Lord showed me that the flowers are still, but floating in a very fast river. The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. (Deuteronomy 31 v 8) No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. (Joshua 1 v 5)

Margaret. The Birthing of New Ideas. It represents the amazing creativity that God has put within each one of us. We each have a unique contribution to make and it comes from how we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Margaret. Revelation. It shows the hand of Jesus tearing the heavens wide open to allow us access to the hidden mysteries that He so much wants us to find and to understand.

Margaret. Hidden Yet Found. It represents the complexity of each one of us as we do our best to navigate life. We have different social roles to fulfil and different relationships to manage but who are we when we are alone? Our Father in heaven really knows who we are and still absolutely adores us, thanks to Jesus. Can you find the dancing woman in this pic? I didn’t put her there. She just appeared after I had finished the painting!’

Margaret. Deep Calls to Deep. The gold drop represents the hidden gold that is within each one of us (see inside the blue blob above). The gold of the Holy Spirit flows from the Father’s deep love for us and is constantly seeking out the gold within us to bring us closer to maturity as sons and daughters of the King of Kings. (Or, this is a picture of Toothpaste! Thank you, Paul!! )

Margaret. The One. Yes, it is the lost sheep that the Good Shepherd has just found and is about to joyfully return to the 99 other sheep in his flock. So many human ‘lost sheep’ put on a brave face of being quite alright, thank you very much. We too can be guilty of this at times!! Our Lord though, sees them (and us!) and loves them; He knows their hearts and the truth of their situations. He wants everyone to be safe in his fold.

Sue. He Never Stops Working The Lord gave me a vision about a year ago but it wasn't until very recently that I knew that the Lord wanted me to paint it. In the vision I felt that the Lord was showing me the Godhead (but others have mentioned angels). As I looked I saw three spheres, but they weren't just spheres, they were moving around each other changing shape, going up and down and over as if they weaving a precious garment. I also noticed that every so often a yellow glowing light would appear between the spheres. (All this was taking place a few rows down to where I was sitting in the auditorium.) The spheres had been in the aisle but then they moved in between the seats. It was then that I felt the Lord was showing me/us His Will will always be done no matter if we believe or not. He is God. Have faith and believe that when He speaks it comes into being. He will never give up, He will never stop working.

The Book of Life, Sue

Dunamis. Margaret, 15 September 2021 This is a reminder to us all of who we have within in us as believers in Jesus - the mighty, dynamic power of His love by the Holy Spirit. God is for us, so who can be against us? Let us take courage and take the new ground!

New Horizon : New Ground? Margaret, 21 July 2021 This is an invitation! There is a path here which leads out of a comfortable, verdant place, into a brown and baron looking land. BUT, the sky is full of angels and the glory of God, with peachy tones of welcome and encouragement to go into that new ground and take it for His glory. It is a land full of humility which is ideal for the growing of His kingdom. Will you accept?

Glorious Love. Margaret, 9 June 2021 It depicts the Father’s love like a whole load of roses floating on a molten sea of His golden glory. Just a big love letter from our Dad really!

Holy Fire. Margaret, 26 May 2021

Soak In His Presence. Sue, 28 April 2021 The glory of His Majesty. His mercy and His love... calls out for our surrender.

The Bridal Bouquet. Margaret, 14 April 2021 Margaret says "The basic structure here is the shape of the cross of Jesus welcoming those who want to have eternal life, healing and renewal (green). The centre is full of glory and blessing (gold), joy, hope and celebration (yellow) with splashes of love, anointing and the power of God (red). Surrounding the central flowers are some tiny purple flowers denoting royalty and kingly rule. I felt that this was the bouquet for Christ’s bride, His church."

Light Eternal. Margaret, 31 March 2021 Margaret says: "This picture started out as a number of sections ranging from black to white. I turned the canvas 45 degrees and then felt that there was to be the cross of Jesus blazing light over everything and everywhere. The cross is in gold denoting His glory, divinity and authority. His light will shine for all eternity."

His Glory Within. Margaret, 3 March 2021 Margaret says "I wanted to somehow paint God’s glory which all believers carry inside them, and hit on the idea that the tabernacle, which Moses got built according to detailed instructions from God, might provide some ideas. So, looking at Exodus I noted all the colours that God wanted in the Holy of Holies where He met with Moses. They were blue, scarlet and purple, and gold was used to fix the fabrics in place. So I blended those colours. When the paint dried, I was surprised to see black appear. It can denote mystery, fear of the Lord, beauty and abundance - the perfect unintended addition to the painting! Thank you, Lord!"

His Oil of Anointing. Margaret, 17 February 2021 It depicts a generous, golden drop of oil, shining with the glory of the Lord, dropping down on it's way to landing. On whom and for what purpose? I think this may be a time of checking with the Lord as to whether there is a change of season for some of us. Do we need a fresh anointing? Or, perhaps, do we need a top up of His oil of joy or His oil of gladness? Or perhap we need His oil of healing? Maybe we just feel dry and need to be filled up again with the oil of His Holy Spirit? Whatever it is, be assured that His oil is available and in generous supply to meet your needs and more.
