The City is In your Mouth! Prophetic Art & Word


I wrestled with the ideas for this painting this week. My prophetic art usually depicts beauty and Glory... Yet there has been such a fire & conviction burning in my heart that I have been unable to ignore. It's easy to get comfortable in our gifts and lose true intent, and lose God's purpose in what we are doing, especially after doing it for some time. As God gave me this Vision I began to re-evaluate what prophetic 
art really meant to me. I was reminded that Prophetic art expresses the true heart of God, prophetic art speaks, inspires, ignites, awakens, convicts and can be a voice to our nation our city and the church. 

Although there is great Glory in the church and although the kingdom of God is greatly alive in our midst, God's heart still breaks for a lost generation. And his voice it's still going Forth urging laborers into the field for a great harvest that is near. These are not laborers that work by the sweat of their brow, but they are laborers who work by faith equipped with the winnowing fork of the Word of God and prophetic fire in their mouth - Laborers with eyes to see and ears to hear what the spirit of the Lord is saying, Laborers with a mouth to speak boldly in a world where the truth has never been challenged like 
it has been today. And Laborers with a tongue to intercede on behalf of our sons and fathers and our daughters and mothers. If this is the largest harvest the church will ever see in this last day - then it will require the greatest deal of preparation. 

So In all of these things this painting does not depict beauty and Glory, instead it depicts where we are as a church, as a city and a nation right now in our present moment. God gave me an image of millions of people across our nation with their mouths shut - intercessors who have yet to intercede, defenders who have yet to defend, preachers who have yet to preach, worshippers who still have yet to release the sound of Gods trumpet in our land. I see a body with eyes but not seeing, with ears but not hearing what the spirit of the Lord is saying in this hour. There are many gifts among us that are covered, shutdown, and shut up - still yet to realize that their voice is significant. God is looking fervently for a mouthpiece, hands, and feet. I see artists, writers, musicians, actors, preachers, dancers, and many more as a part of a great awakening that will sweep across our nation, where prayer and the Prophetic 
are going to be released like never before! 

When I was a boy and God first began visiting me I had a vision that I was in a church filled with piles & piles of glasses, lenses, & contact boxes on the floor, ect. It was a mass move of God where eyesight, even nearsightedness, farsightedness and blindness was healed instantly upon entering church in that hour. Even as this move of healing was real & yet to come, God has also said to me "this is a sign that my church needs to see clearly and have their vision healed!" And that there would come a day where spiritual vision would be restored to the body like it never has been before. I believe we are living in that day! God is urging us to open our eyes and uncover our mouths, if we don’t - then many things destined in this hour will cease to be fulfilled. If God is speaking to you through this message and through this painting, ask yourself what have you been delaying to see, delaying to say, and delaying to do - because great breakthrough and revival for all of us is locked up in that very thing! 

OUR CITY 
(The mouth of the blindfolded Girl)
The Lord said to me "Our city is in our mouths." & others have said that 2019 is the year of the Decree. But even in that word - what we Cease to Decree, what we cease to say, what we cease to pray, and where we cease to intercede, is where God is unable to move… We must take our authority in Christ! Nothing in our cities will be handed over to us freely, but it is something we must take in the spirit by force - it is rightly ours! God has already given it to us - we just have to claim it and maintain it In Jesus Name! In doing so we open the doors of heaven for a perpetual supply of the spirit to be poured out into our homes, churches, businesses, workplaces, culture, and government in an entirely new way. The Holy Spirit and Revival desperately desires to rest upon Cleveland in a way that we have not welcomed it yet. Let us open our hearts, homes and churches for God to poor out his spirit in every avenue of our lives, let us give him access - even relinquishing the things that we have tried so much to hold onto ourselves. Its only in this that the control we have been fighting to keep will be broken, and out of the broken pieces of control true freedom in the spirit can be released! "The City is In your Mouth"

I SAW Four POWERFUL P's being birthed amidst this Prophetic PRESIDENTIAL Election

This week God came into my car urgently and said  "Michael, pull out your notes I need you to write an article." He then began to show me that in the midst of injustices that will be OVERTURNED, and in the midst of HIS ANSWER to all of the current events in this season -  there are four things that you will be encouraged by that are going to take place within his church in the coming days. Again amidst this Prophetic Presidential hour, there are Four P's being birthed into the church that we will see in our lives in the coming season.  The Bible says that humility comes before honor (Prov 18:12) and if it's one thing that's apparently clear... There has definitely been a great deal of humbling among the prophetic and faith camps of the body of Christ upon recent events, and reports. But just as his word states, that humility comes before honor. So shall it be in the coming days! often humility is there to remind us, that even on both sides of our disag...

Becoming Your Gift!

"When are you going to decide to be an artist, and not just someone who occasionally paints?" Is what my wife said to me one evening while annoyed at my attitude towards my vocation at the time. And even though it wasn’t a fun conversation - I understood what she meant, at some point the phrase "decide to become!" jarred me into a place where I could no longer run from myself in that area of my life. I can remember the first time I began to paint as a child sitting in front of the TV on Sunday mornings trying to render the same image Bob Ross was painting on the screen. With burnt umber and greens on a paper pallet as I attempted to create the same pine tree design he seemed to lay out so effortlessly. Even at such a young age I took an interest in art. I didn’t realize that I had a gift till later years when my doodles in class didn’t seem to compare to everyone else's, and my art teachers recognized my talent. Finding your gifting is an amazin...

The Soul Collector

Sounds like a horror movie where a serial killer is out to take souls, or the grim reaper is out to get you. It almost reminds me of the movie final destination where death made its way back around to you to finish the job that was interrupted... and death has come to take your soul! Although this blog is not about a serial killer or the grim reaper, on the contrary today its about Gods process in our lives. That means that God is the soul collector. And he has a process in effect in our lives that is imperative to our development. HES COMING FOR YOU! The bible says to walk out your souls salvation with fear and trembling, that doesnt mean that the grim reaper is after you but it does mean that we need to fear God and the seriousness of his call. The fact that we are saved and our spirits have become brand new (1 cor. 5:17) is only the beginning of our process, there is still a soul that needs renewing, sanctifying and saving. The Bible says that our spirit is the candle of ...
