New Work!!! The most amazing thing happened while working on these the last couple weeks!
“House of Faith” and “House of Healing” are inspired by the “House of Grace” I just created a couple weeks ago. I used this same song “That’s who I Praise” by Brandon Lake. In the song he mentions several people from the Bible including Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. I’ve heard the names before but I did not know the story until 2 days ago. That part of the song with the 3 names has been playing over and over in my head the last couple weeks.
2 days ago I opened my Bible randomly like I always do before I start creating right to Daniel 3, the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego!!
“Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you refuse to serve my gods or to worship the gold statue I have set up?”
Daniel 3:14 NLT
But they get thrown in the firey furnace and don’t get burned up so the king was convinced of God’s goodness and ordered the empire to worship Him instead of their former false gods and idols.
Absolutely incredibly!! These are not accidents!! God is speaking to us through his living word!
The numbers on these paintings have so much meaning.
#7 represents perfection, completion, rest, restoration, healing and fulfillment of promises. Jesus healed 7 people on the 7th day. The Lord’s Prayer contains seven petitions:
Hallowed be thy name; Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven; Give us this day our daily bread; Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; Lead us not into temptation; and Deliver us from evil.
I love digging deeper and discovering how God has weaved so many things together and reveals them to us at the perfect moment. I love exploring the symbolism and significance of numbers in scripture.
Prayer opens doors that lead to a relationship with God which leads to transformation, healing and eternal life.
