This is two paintings. A large painting of a storm and a smaller painting of Jesus in teh MIDST of the storm. I intended for Jesus to be CALMING the storm, but when I sat down and looked at the result I realized that Jesus was not going to stop the storm. He was not commanding the storm to "Be still and KNOW I am God," but he was commanding His BODY to "Be still and KNOW" in the MIDST of the storm. My intentions for this painting was to be intercession on behalf of myself, my church and the Body at large for a calming of the storm. Instead it turned out to be a prophetic piece commanding myself, my church and the Body at large. I do sense that the storms raging round us now are not over and quite possibly have only begun. But look at Jesus. He looks serious but not concerned the least bit about the storm. All His concern and energy is focused on US!!! The eye contact is direct. The reach purposeful and sure. He is our shelter in the storm. He is the calm IN the storm. The storms have a purpose. It is time for us to grow up. He won't leave us or foresake us in the storm. When the storm is over He will still be with us celebrating. PS 46 10 Let be and be still, and know ( recognize and understand ) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth! 11The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge ( our High Tower and Stronghold ). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that ] !
