3’ x 3’ acrylic mixed media on canvas
I have an overactive mind that’s constantly going over and over things. I take deep breaths constantly throughout the day. Surrendering each time praying for peace of mind. Working on artwork that I can just let it flow and develop on its own is healing on so many levels. Turning everything over to God daily. I feel like just did some spring cleaning in my mind. Release all the clutter!
Ruach (pronounced roo-akh) is the Hebrew word for spirit, breath, or wind. When spoken, the word engages one’s breath and lungs. The first mention of Ruach in the Bible is in the very first chapter of Genesis – Genesis 1:2 to be exact:
“Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit (Ruach) of God was hovering over the waters.”
Genesis 1:2 NIV

Prophetic art is a visual experience where you have an encounter of prophesy. God can use everything and anyone to carry his message to whoever needs to receive it. Prophetic art is a gift from God straight from the heart of the artist. Something supernatural happens when we do anything and invite the Holy Spirit to take control. People who witness the surrender and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit can have their own unique encounter which can strengthen their faith and relationship with God. It’s amazing how God will wrap multiple messages meant for many people in one work of art or in a song. For art is not just a product to be purchased but and encounter to be experienced with our creator.
I’m leaving the interpretation for this artwork open for everyone to experience their own. I did not have a plan of an end image but I did have a ton of materials, paints, tools, stencils and Parabola magazine clippings of words and imagery. I used pastel chalks, acrylic paint, spray paint, Elmer’s glue and up-cycled magazine that I mix paint on. I felt completely surrendered and the Holy Spirit took over! Praise God for it all!!
