Angelina's Painting

My painting represents the Kingdom of God and His will. I believe that God's will is found in His name, YHWY: Shamma, Nissi, Maccaddeshcem, Rapha, Jireh, Makkah, Tsidkenu, Shalom, Sabbaoth, Raah, Pater, El Shaddai, El Roi, Elohim...Zech 10:3, Ez 22:27, Hos 14:3,8, Ez. 34:11, Is. 42:3... too many to list! The painting is about influencing the world in order to establish His kindgom on earth which is represented by the white boarder; with Him ever present (represented by the throne-like white space at the top). The figures are people of every nationality, social, religious and economic background. Each one has coins (talents and gifts) in his/her hand, given by God. The plant and roots represent when talents are used properly, we see physical redemption of the planet; the earth is blessed, deserts bloom, and dry places no longer barren. Also, dry places being nations that do not know Him or have turned from Him (or His principles). Again, redemption Ez. 18:23, 33:11, 18:32, Is. 41:17-20. The water represents redemption of the land and waters. Dt. 32:43, 29:19, 11:12 Jer. 2:7-11, Chron. 7:14, II Sam. 21:14, Num 35:33, Gen 1:24, 1:28, 9:1, Ps. 104:24. The planet was given an energy that we are to harness and protect; it reverberates the praise of His glory: Gen 14:19 &22, Ps 148:13. Land and water are obedient to our words Ps. 49:13, Ps. 96:11. The land is sumissive to God and to man Gen 2:6. The promise of Gen. 3:15 restores God to man and man to ground! For me this represents physical healing because the earth is the Lord's "and God said it was good". Man was created out of good soil (adamah), created in His image; void of illness. I was a spirit who borrowed dirt, His dirt; originally perfect in His design, cursed by man, but now redeemed by the blood of Jesus back to His original design... good clean dirt ;-) We have been given power and authority to influence the world, by word and deed everyday. My vision is to use every talent I have to influence talents of others (whether it be ability, finances, skills) to see His kingdom; His good will, established on earth.
