This painting
is dedicated to the victims, and families of 9/11/01. On this day of tragedy and
loss, our nation was brought back to look upon the true meaning of life. Life is
truly a gift of God's love and it allows us to put in perspective the things
that are most important. When I look back at the heroes of 9/11/01, who
sacrificed their lives on that day, it reminds me of the scripture when Jesus
said "Greater love hath no man then this, that a man lay down his life for his
friends. (John 15:13)." Our turning point as a nation is at the cross of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is at the cross when we can say that "weeping
may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning (Psalm 30:5)."
This
Painting is a representation of the battle between good and evil on this earth.
The eagle is a very powerful bird and is symbolic of God's power. The snake is
the serpent and it represents the forces of darkness. September 11th gave a
clear and sobering representation of this ongoing battle in the spiritual realm.
Right now in our country, we are fighting a physical battle against terrorists
around the world. The real battle is against the spirit of antichrist which
Jesus said is already in the world (1 John 4:3). We must realize that God's
kingdom is greater than Satan's kingdom.
This painting represents the blood of Jesus that was shed for us throughout all
eternity. When God looks at our lives, he sees the blood of his Son that was
shed for us. The blood of Jesus is divine and allows us to be partakers of his
divine nature. When he shed his blood on the cross at Calvary, it shook the
foundations of hell and canceled Satan's plans and intentions for humanity.
Jesus paid the price for our salvation and redemption and that price was his
blood.
Even
before Jesus, the Messiah walked on earth, it was spoken by God through the
prophet Isaiah, God's plan for our redemption. God revealed his Son Jesus Christ
through the prophet Isaiah and said, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me;
because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath
sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, the proclaim liberty to the captives, and
the opening of the prison to them that are bound. To proclaim the acceptable
year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn
(Isaiah 61:1-2).
"Colder Than Ice" - This painting was inspired by a dream that I had a
couple of years ago. At that time, when I had the dream, I was amused by the
setting and contents of it. One day, as I was praying, God revealed to me that this
dream wasn't just an ordinary dream. From there, is when I realized that there
was symbolic message behind this dream. God showed me that as long as we stay
connected with him, we can soar over any mountain in our life, and reach our
goals. Through Jesus Christ, we should always be willing to climb to higher
heights and deeper depths and to believe that all things are possible. If we
stay under God's wings of protection, we can look down on any mountain and
valley in our life.
"Into His Presence" is a painting
that is dedicated to Christ's divine nature. This painting gives a deeper
revelation of who He is and His presence in our lives. The lion in the
background is "The Lion of the Tribe of Judah" which represents Jesus. The seven
golden candlesticks is symbolic of the seven churches mentioned in the book of
Revelation. The purple scarf is symbolic of royalty and authority. The white
robe is symbolic of his purity and holiness. The red color under
the people is a sign of being covered by the blood of Jesus. He is the Alpha and
Omega and His love passes all understanding.
"MVP Jesus
Christ" is a painting that is symbolic of the Headship of God (The Father, The
Son and The Holy Spirit). In this portrait, the divine nature of Jesus Christ is
symbolized. "Tale of the tape" was used to give this portrait a unique message.
Symbolism of a boxer was used as an example to show the relationship of a
manager, boxer, trainer and promoter united a a team for a specific purpose and
to dominate his opposition.
Psalms 149:6 says "Let the
praises of God be in their mouth and a double edge sword in their hands". This
portrait demonstrates the power of the blood of Jesus and the Word of God. We
wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and demonic
powers. In these last and evil days, God has given us the spiritual tools needed
to fight Satan and his demonic forces. We must realize that there is a spiritual
war between good and evil. God has given us the victory through his son, Jesus
Christ. Hell trembles at the blood of Jesus. God has given us the blood of his
Son and his word for our salvation and deliverance from eternal damnation. We
must become a soldier for Christ and be willing to stand in his name, no matter
what trials and tribulations we are faced with. God has given us the power to
tread over snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy.
"Herein is Love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and
sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins (1John 4:10)". "The Marks of
Love" Represents the love of Jesus Christ which passes all understanding. The
nails, crown of thorns and cat-o-nine tails was the ultimate price that was paid
for the redemption of mankind. In spite of all his sufferings on the cross, He
asked God to forgive us because of his infinite love. Jesus suffered for us so
that we could be free from sin and eternal damnation. God is love and this love
was manifested through his Son Jesus Christ.
This painting represents the
struggles and injustices of African Americans throughout slavery. The eyes in
this painting shows the bondage, oppression and slayings that was given at the
hands of their oppressors. The tears in this painting shows the inner hurts and
pains of slavery and bloodshed. The eyes are the gateway to the soul and it
magnifies what's on the inside. God has given us a new hope which is in his Son
Jesus Christ. Not only as a person and race, but also as a people united under
God.
The portrait "Whirlwind" is
symbolic of a troubled child on the verge of destruction. It also represents
Jesus unfailing love as he carries this little boy in his arms in the midst of a
dark and lost world. The tornado in the background is symbolic of destruction.
The gun in the kid's hand is symbolic of retaliation for the anger, hurt and
emotional scars of his childhood. Jesus said in the book of Matthew 11:28 "Come
unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest". We
must come to a place of rest in the arms of Jesus and allow him to be our refuge.
In the darkest hours of your life, Jesus will pick you up and carry you through
any storm in your life.
This painting
represents the end time tribulations before Christ's return on earth. The
hourglass is symbolic of time running out. In the book of Joel 2:31, the
scripture explains that "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon
into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord comes". The flames
around the earth is a sign of God's judgment upon the earth.
