DAVID WILKERSON MEMORIAL

All of us living here in beautiful East Texas owe so much to the man who had the vision to creat here a save haven that would reflect God's glory and peace. David Wilkerson! Just the day befor his sudden death I got the verse you can see on the painting from my Moravian scripture box :

"Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy."
Psalm 126:5

I said to my family; "Oh, this is David Wilkerson's verse!"
A few days ago i decided to do this memorial painting.
Since a long time i also wanted to do a memorial painting for a missionary who was killed for his faith.
.
I felt led to sprinkle GOLD over the red paint...a symbol of heaven.
The palm branch stands for HOSANNA. A shout that was always in their hearts and the triumphant entry of Christ's second coming.

It took me a while to find a picture where he was looking heaven wards. Also a symbol of beeing a visionary, a prophet, a seer and most important a friend of God - like Moses was.

A lot of rock salt is sprinkled here...again a symbol: "You are the salt of the world"
A reminder of David Wilkerson's great burden for the church, the bride of Jesus, not to lose our saltiness!
As I worked on David Wilkerson's canvas i got a second canvas out and paralled the two. The second one will be for a missionary who died much younger and his life was strangely conncted to David Wilkerson's live. I have not finished the second canvas . It has much more red paint...a symbol for the blood of Jesus and also them beeing willing to shed their blood for the gospel. The major of the city that the young missionary was murdered errected a memorial and it said:
GOD IS LOVE
...in French , English and Arabic. I cryed when i saw the photo of it.

It was David Wilkerson forsight to bild a damm in this area so that during the rainy season the water would collect and form this peaceful lake. We love the lake so much and are very greatful to David Wilkerson's creativity...
A week ago I started to read the book;"My time in heaven " by Richard Sigmund and I am amazed at how creative every one in heaven is. There is so much beauty and creativity going on. Of coarse we will be with the Ultimate Desiner of this entire universe.
I know brother Dave has a wondeful time in heaven!

CCF Art Project
THE GLORY OF GOD IS SHINING AROUND THEM

We would like to exhibit the children's canvases by December 24th during the candle light service on our “CCF Art Wall”.
Please pray with your child about the Holy Spirit's creative anointing before they start the project. Play some music that reflects God's Glory. For example Paul's “Glorious” or some of the IHOP music...or Handel's Messiah.
Make it a family project! You are your child's best champion!
This is a project that should express a lot of freedom, so we don't want to restricts the medium your child uses. All we ask is that the sides of the canvas are covered as well.
Here are some suggestions:
Acrylics, Watercolor, Oil, Beans&Beads, Fabric, Oil Crayons (use nail polish remover or thinner to dilute), Charcoal on left over Wall-Paint............the sky is the limit :)
Any surface that is not sealed, we will seal later with Crylon sealer (Walmart and Hobby Lobby)
Please sign your child's name in the lower right corner.
If it is a family project, please sign “Miller family”.
Read the following scriptures with your child – children:
GOSPEL OF LUKE
8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
The KEY VERSE is verse 9...how do you think the shepherds saw the “Glory of the Lord” shining around them??
I will try to post some paintings on the Glory of the Lord on my web....show it to child only after they close their eyes and try to imaging...or don't show it at all:)

CCF Art Project
GOD'S GLORY

After working 3 years on and off on the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT i finally finished the series and carefully manufactured ceramic tiles are now in the museum store in the museum of Biblical Arts in Dallas.
Let me know if redecorate your kitchen or dinning room.
My prayer is that many people, families and single will be challenged to study and long for the Fruit of the Spirit in their lives. I did not feel like signing GOODNESS...the 2nd last one to complete. ...because none of us is really good. Today i added the famous question of the rich young ruler asking Jesus what to do. And Jesus said:"Why do you ask me about what is good.....There is only One who is good." Matthew 19:17
I love to hear from all you what the different fruit of the Spirit mean to you.
