Never Deny the Flow


Acrylic on unstretched canvas
26x28

 He flows to us, in us, and through us. 
Constantly connecting and filling us with His Spirit. 
Full wine skins with the ultimate wine to share. 
Never deny the flow,
because it is happening.

Heavenly Storehouses

Acrylic on canvas
9x12
Heavenly storehouses are full. I guess you could say, 'they are busting at the seams'.
 Abundance is always at your door, just turn the knob.
"To him who knocks it will be opened" 
                                    Jesus

Walking Through Waterfalls

Acrylic on 9x10 canvas
Today was one of those days when nothing seemed to flow in the right direction (we've all had them). Before I knew it, I was letting the day's events lead me, which is definitely not good. Once I 
realized I was letting these things weigh me down, I just stopped what I was doing, 
and let myself sink back where I really belong, in His loving arms.
Simply taking a few breadths with Him makes all the difference in the world. 
For me it's like walking through a waterfall, and all the day's things which are
so bothersome, seem to detach and fell to the ground in a matter of minutes.
 Some circumstances may not change, but it sure makes a difference 
if they are dragging you down, or if they are down at your feet 
where you can then walk around them.

Back to First Love

Acrylic on canvas
In Spring of 2014, I was invited to paint during worship at Jubilee Church in Camarillo, CA,
and God gave me something very special to paint. It's still meant to be shared:

 "I’m taking you back to first love, but not as you might think, that’s not how I work. 
Not back when you made the decision to fall in love with Me, but all the way back to birth. 
When you came out of the womb and breathed your first breath. 
Unblemished; Innocence, purity, and total dependence. 
No boundaries have been formed, and you naturally receive.
  From this place of vulnerability you are unconquerable.
 Grow and live in this first love,
 because here, in Me, you are unconquerable".

His Cooling Peace

Acrylic on canvas
God's presence is always here.
You'll find Him in the most unexpected places,
its just a matter of becoming conscious of Him.
It's easy (He makes a point not to hide very well from anyone).
Today on your path, open yourself up to His cooling peace.
He overflows with it, and you'll find He has it waiting for you.
Especially on what might seem to be
the hottest pavement you've walked on in quite a while.
Take and drink.
