FIRST OF ALL, RELAX.

WHAT YOU ARE DOING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR OWN SKILLS, BUT WITH REACHING AND ENCOURAGING SOMEONE FOR JESUS. IN OTHER WORDS - IT'S NOT SO MUCH ABOUT ABILITY (THOUGH YOU SHOULD DO THE BEST YOU CAN- EVEN IF YOU ARE DRAWING STICK FIGURES!), BUT ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING OUT THE GOLD IN SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE.  SET YOUR MIND TO PARTNER WITH JESUS IN LOVING SOMEONE WITH CHILD- LIKE FAITH.

​

WE ARE IMPLEMENTING THE IDEA OF THE TREASURE HUNT.  BE SEEKING THE LORD AHEAD OF TIME FOR IMPRESSIONS ABOUT THE PERSON WHO WILL RECEIVE THE PAINTING, AND LOOK FOR THE THINGS ON YOUR LIST WHEN IT IS TIME TO GIVE THE PAINTING/WRITING AWAY. (THINGS LIKE - A RED SHIRT, OR HAIR IN A BUN, A SET OF NUMBERS, ETC.)

​

PAINTERS MAY NEED TO TAKE TIME TO PREPARE THEIR CANVAS AHEAD OF TIME IF THEY FEEL THE 30 MINUTE WINDOW FOR WORSHIP TIME WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO FINISH WHAT GOD HAS SHOWN THEM.

​

PLEASE ARRIVE IN TIME TO BE SET UP AND READY TO PAINT (ALL OF YOUR SUPPLIES IN PLACE AND READY TO GO WITH WATER, CANVAS UNWRAPPED AND ON THE EASEL, ETC.) BY 10:00 A.M.

 

PLEASE! DO NOT DISTURB THE PASTORS OR WORSHIP TEAM, AS THEY USE THIS TIME BEFOREHAND TO PREPARE AND PRACTICE.

PROPHETIC PAINTING GUIDELINES

SUBJECT MATTER

 

REMEMBER, NO DARK OR NEW AGE TYPE IMAGES.  IF GOD SHOWS YOU SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES, THEN YOUR JOB IS TO PORTRAY THE VICTORY OVER IT, WITHOUT EXPOSING A HINT OF THE DARKNESS OR TWISTED INFLUENCE.

 

(EXAMPLE - YOU SEE A TRAGEDY OR A POINT OF BONDAGE.  FOR THE TRAGEDY, YOU PAINT SOMETHING REPRESENTING LIFE, AND FOR THE BONDAGE (DRUGS, ALCOHOL... WHATEVER ) YOU PAINT SOMETHING REPRESENTING THE FREEDOM GOD WANTS TO BRING, "CALLING THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS THOUGH THEY ARE."

WHEN YOU SHARE ABOUT YOUR PAINTING, YOU WOULD SAY "GOD SHOWED ME A NEW LEVEL OF VICTORY IN YOUR LIFE, AND IT WAS FULL OF (WHAT EVER THE OPPOSITE OF THE DARK THING WAS - LIFE, JOY, PEACE, ETC.). HE LOVES YOU AND WANTS TO SHOW YOU HOW HE CAN DO THIS..."

​

PROPHECY DURING CREATIVE MINISTRY IS NOT FOR 'READING PEOPLE'S MAIL' OR EXPOSING THEM TO THE EYES OF OTHER PEOPLE. IT IS FOR BUILDING UP, GIVING COMFORT, AND SPEAKING WORDS THAT BRING REVELATION OF HOPE.

 

SUPPLIES- PLEASE BRING

​

• ALL PAINT, BRUSHES AND A CANVAS. 

• WATER CONTAINER

• PAPER TOWEL

• STYROFOAM PLATE OR PALETTE TO MIX PAINTS

 

THE CHURCH WILL HAVE AN EASEL SET UP FOR YOUR SESSION. PAINT SUPPLIES CAN BE EXPENSIVE, SO WE DECIDED AS A MINISTRY NOT TO BURDEN THE CHURCH WITH THAT COST.  IF YOU WANT TO PAINT BUT CANNOT AFFORD SUPPLIES, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL EXPLAINING YOUR NEED.

 

PLEASE BE PREPARED FOR YOUR SESSION.

WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SUPPLY YOU WITH LAST MINUTE MATERIALS.
