Back Story of this Painting:

Open Heaven

I wasn’t able to paint on Wednesday night because I had to work. But tonight the Holy Spirit didn’t just inspire me to paint one painting. He inspired me to paint two paintings in the spirit. The second I will tell you about after I post this one. This first one is the one I painted early in the evening.

I have to admit that I was really confused by it. I did hear someone relating a vision about a dome being over cities and God pouring out his Glory on those cities. I didn’t hear the entire prophesy because there was a lot of Lag on Wednesday Night. But when I tried to paint the dome, when I tried to paint the person bent over prone on the floor with arms out stretched.

God seemed to have other ideas. First as you know this type of painting can only be accomplished in the Spirit.. Meaning when you are completely yielded to the Holy Spirit.. Not just thinking or planning out of your head. I’m worshiping when I do mine. And I saw visions of the images as they need to be. Visions come from a completely different place in my brain than my imagination by the way. Next time I use my imagination I will have to focus so I can tell you where that is.

I can only say that visions come from outside… sometimes like a great window opening up and everything seems fuzzy or dark in the real world.. That’s an extreme description sometimes visions aren’t that dramatic.

I was seeing a vision of this person rocking on their knees and sometimes their hands were lifted others touching their face. They were pleading, feeling the humility of being in the presence of God. Angels were coming all around.. angles who were ministering to the person. Angles who were witnessing to the attitude and intent of the petitions, who were carrying the petitions to God, and even waiting to be assigned a job related to the petitions. The person was in the glory, the cloud.. the royal priest hood, the reason I think that there was so much purple. The angles with the turquoise were healing angels and those with purple were angels that brought wisdom. The angels, in white, brought power and boldness and purity.

I thought this painting was finished. But I kept seeing the light shining down from above on the intercessor, the petitioner. After I painted the light of purple.. and turquoise and white.. I saw.. Something that I had heard Todd say on Wednesday… the anointing.. The anointing of Holy oil of fire. The Holy Spirit poured it out on the petitioner.

This is anointing. This is open heaven. This is what happens when the Holy spirit surrounds a person who loves God, Angles come while the person is abiding, worshiping, crying out,.. And the angels minister, and they report, and they go out to make ready as God directs them. This is a picture of praying down the will of God and receiving his Glory in the process.

UPDATE: I missed the first part of the Outpouring coverage this evening(5/17/08). A friend told me that Todd was back after being in California. She said he told everyone that the Spirit and the Glory were not strong in California, like they were in Lakeland. The reason was because in Lakeland they were experienceing an open heaven. How strange that I should paint it two days before he pronounced it in Lakeland. Glory to God! His mercy endures for ever.

It was pretty amazing tonight. The wonderful presence of the Lord, all over me as I watched.

The Atmosphere overflowed from the live feed right into my studio. Glooooooooreeeee Gloooooooooree the entire congregation of thousands from all over the world sang out in unison even before the music started to play. It was like an impromptu move of God through the entire conference center and ending up with Roy and his worship team following them, instead of leading.

Atmosphere.. a place where God feels close to his people and welcome in his own place. It was an atmosphere of the most amazing love, amazing outpouring of grace and closeness to God.

Bob Jones was there, like some un educated wilderness prophet from out of the wilds of Appalachia. Yet … he was the elder. And Todd Bentley was the student. There was one beautiful moment when Todd looked at Bob and eager child hanging on every word of the elder statesman, the wise man, the Prophet. Todd looked so young and Bob was healthier than I have seen him in a long while.I wasn’t able to hear much of what was said. Some prophecies were confirmed that my prayer warrior friend and I had received earlier in the Month.

But the thing that dragged me back to my task: was the streams.. the nameless faceless multitudes of peoples from all economic, ethnic, race, and denominational backgrounds that were streams moved into place by the Holy Spirit to merge into one flowing river of people united, not because they come together by their own work or effort but because the Holy Spirit leads them right to the place that God wants them. They are unified by the same one Holy Spirit that Christ sent to keep us company, teach us, and give us discernment until he returns to gather us up into himself.

Tonight in Lakeland the mood was different. The awe inspiring realization that you can not do it yourself, that with out God things wont be accomplished. The Pouring out.. of God's Spirit of Glory can only come with a heart that is made pure .. having repented and being receptive to the will of God.. one must worship.. then wait, resting in his glory and He works the change in you. Renewed heart and mind.. focused on him, his love, his compassion, his joy, his desire, his power, his grace.

Worship of God, through Christ Jesus is the only way this can happen. And God will pour out his glory upon you... and pour it as a stream to rest in.. nourish your spirit and renew your heart and mind. And when you are ready and filled and overflowing with this wonderful Glory... he leaves with in you the burning fire of his passion..that only power by which anything true and purposeful in his will is accomplished.

It was so awsome to see on live feed vid all those people across the grass at the air field, the hungry, the poor, the rich in the spirit of God, those who needed spritual healing , those who needed physical healing.. thousands... spread out across the darkened field and off in the distance were white flags of worship waving in the dark and reflecting the light of the stage like beacons in the dark, covered in the blood of Jesus, fired by the anointing fire of the holy spirit, and the glory falling upon them like a blanket of love and power to take with them.

Its in the atmosphere. In the praises of the people, It filled the place. Glory to the Living God. My favorite moment was when the people sang the name of Jesus in worship and adoration. Its so amazing that the people of God for that breif time.. are unified in the worship of God. Isnt that a prophetic hint of sorts..that the way we are truely united as a body.. past physical limits, racial, cultural, denomination is not through some concious act of deciding to come together, but in the total abandonment to the worship of the Lamb. Whew! Thats not emotion thats the Atmosphere God abides with us in.

I missed alot of the meeting tonight because we were under a tornado watch and connection issues on the God.TV web site were causing freezes and delays. I did get to hear about Todd Bently telling everyone to hold hands and he would touch one person and the anointing would flow through each person. he also talked about the whirlwind angel. Funny thing was I painted it(the angel) like 15 minutes before he said it. It made me laugh at how prophetic these paintings can be sometimes. Glory Glory to the Lord God Almighty.

It was really good to see Roy back tonight. He really has such a gift for leading worship. The two days he was gone must have done him good because the atmosphere he provided seeped like a gushing torrent right into my studio tonght. Very very awesome!

Painting for May 7, 2008

Lakeland Revival.

Something was differnt tonight. Like there was some sort of sadness and struggle going on. Todd seemed to be struggling and moving in his own effort. The worship time was different too. It was vintage I-hop Kansas City. We delight in the Lord when we praise him.. the music seemed to be about what we could get from God, not what we should give to him..

Grant it we cant give much .. because we dont have much to give .. except praise....

I will praise you O Lord from early morning, I will recount your excellent greatness, The stars and moon were crafted by your hands. The sun, the sky the sea. Each of my thoughts will turn to you and all you have done in your mercy and grace.

I am but a tiny spot on a small speck and yet your thoughts are with me, your hand guides me with your favor. I reach out to you, My God, my King ,Lord of Everything; Humbly I cry out to you to fill me with more of yourself so that I will not depart from you but will willingly cling to the God who loves me and is my everything.

Thank-you Jesus.

Just a thought for Christian's Criticizing the Revival

“And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
“But if it be of God, ye can not overthrow it; lest ye be found even to fight against God.”
Acts 5:38-39

“Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.” 2 Timothy 2:14

shhhhh bestill and know God. We are directed to test the spirit not criticize the man. While bragging is a horrid form of pride, criticism is its brother and worse still, a highly destructive form of pride at that. If you are concerned about what you are seeing and not understanding then pray about it. God keeps his promises and will give you wisdom. If you truly trust God, then give your concern to him and let him handle things his way least you show yourselves faithless and marked as hypocrites. How then does that Glorify God?

Pouring Out: Lakeland Outpouring Revival Inspired Art

This is the promise of Christ, that in the last days he Will pour out His Spirit on all Mankind.
If you haven't seen on TV yet please please go to www.god.tv at 7pm edt or better yet read about it and go to Florida. Any questions about the art email me at contact@llmartin.com

The Gift of the Holy Spirit: Lakeland Outpouring Revival Inspired Paintings

This ACEO is to symbolize all that Christ offers us in his love, and to show that he sent His Spirit as a gift to all believers so that we would know that he loved us, will never abandon us, and that he will return! The Glory of God wraps around those who love him. His fire burns with in them.

The King Is Coming: Lakeland Outpouring Revival Inspired Paintings

Prophetically speaking many believe that this Revival with Todd Bentley and Crew is the last great revival before the King of Kings returns for his people. These paintings are loosely biased on a vision I had in 2005 at a revival conference in Penn.

That Healing Touch: Lakeland Outpouring Revival

These three ACEO's are inspired by the Lakeland Ourtpouring Healing Revival. If you have seen it or been there you will really appreciate these.

Healing Fire: Art inspired by the Lakeland Fla Outpouring

Healing Fire #1

"No High like the Most High", Todd Bentley

Take a Coal:

No this is not the buring man celebration!

Healing Fire #2

Ok now I admit these look a little weird. But most of the testamonies at the Lakeland Revival talk of burning and fire of God flowing through them.

Is there Biblical presidence for this?

Absolutely. In Acts 2 the is a testamony of the Holy Spirit falling on people and appearing like toungues of fire on each person's head.

Once this appeared on the people waiting for the Holy Spirit to come, they went out and thousands were presented the good news of Christ Jesus and received him. In this case this represents the Healing fire. (yes most of my figures here wear baggy jeans and t-shirts. If you remember the old "GoodNews for Modern Man" Bible with all its stick figure illustrations these seem to be a step up from that.)

Eagles and Fish: Lakeland Florida Outpouring Inspired Art

The first night of the venue change to the Tiger's Stadium in Lakeland, Florida as the opening announcements were being made, suddenly three eagles with fish in their mouths astonished the crowd by flying over the ball field. The God TV camera panned to the trees the three had landed in and like some amazingly timed prophetic symbol all the world could see them sitting in the trees on the other side of the stadium.

I wasn't a first hand witness, I watched it on my computer with 100 million people in 156 countries. Its an interesting end time twist. That we can see this amazing outpouring in a History making proportion on line, over the air ways, linked by satellites. But its not the same as being there. I'm there in spirit until God changes something in my life. I'm there praying for everyone concerned, partnering a widows might of intercession. and Sitting here in Remington Virginia painting my heart, documenting what I see and what I experience. Crazy...maybe .. but in reality God has no limits. I'm so loving it. The back log of commissions I am working are getting daily attention too. My painting is getting better for it.

Here are the three eagles with three fish. In three ACEO sized One of a Kind paintings one eagle and one fish in each. You can contact me at: contact@llmartin.com or watch the revival on www.god.tv 7pm to 11pm edt.

Lakeland Healing Outpouring Insprired Art

I haven't an Idea what to do with these Art Cards.

I've been watching the Lakeland Revival with Todd Bentely and his group on www.god.tv over the internet for the last couple of weeks. Suddenly as I'm watching and( yes working ) I find myself painting these really cool horses.

If you know your Bible at all, horses and horse men are symbols representing God sending out a move to bring about his will and glory among people.

The first horse represents the Horse of the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The second horse represents the outpouring of the wisdom and healing from God.

The third horse represents the outpouring of the fire of passion for God. I am sure there are more horses to come representing the outpouring.

The thing is I dont know what to do with all these paintings. They are all standard ACEO size of 2.5" by 3.5" Acrylic Polymer on Watercolorpaper. Should I sell them or just keep on collecting them. If you are reading this give me your input at contact@llmartin.com There are 17 outpouring miniature cards as of 5/5/08. I expect more to come. If I decide to sell them I really feel that I need to tithe part of it into God TV or Todd Bentley's Fresh Fire Ministry. The revival is awsome and I feel like Ive been so blessed because of it. Check it out if you havent already. Cannel 365 on Direct TV or www.God.tv on the web. The Florida Healing Outpouring is on from 7.00 pm to 11pm EDT,


Outpouring Horse Healing and Wisdom Horse
Fire of God's Passion Horse

Whew what a trip! And no I am not on Drugs.

This has been so amazing. I had all these plans about how this year was going to go. First I fall on New Year's Eve morning. I mean I was airborne and landed on my left arm.. jamming my rotator cuff. I litterly had a vision of the bone splitting. Fortunately it was just brusied and slightly disconnected. Followed by smashing my two kness into the walk. And later when I was at the hospital i discovred that I brused my left hip and stove i the ring finger on my right hand. I basicly spent the entire first week of January in my mom's lazy boy because I couldnt lay down.

Feburary was filled with recertifications, on housing, and my Pass and wouldnt you know that about a quater of the ebay sellers decided to have their annual strike at that time. So here I am going into March and the housing people said.. you gotta see this house.
Well I looked at it. And needless to say it took 27 days to move lock stock and barrel. (pictures to come) The house is amazing. It has a built in studio! A huge yard. and the first night I was here it was like I had lived here all my life. I love it!

So this week I am finally trying to settle down into a really great rutine. Where I work hard on painting.. train my new assistant.( im interviewing this week) and maybe make some serious goals come to pass. (like keeping up with this blog every week) Ive got a bunch of stuff to put up on this.. especially some new work in a new direction. So watch this space. The winds of change are truely blowing!!!!

So many changes so little time!

Well for the last three months I have been selling art trading cards on eBay. Amazing stuff. I am selling mostly little tiny 3.5 by 2.5 miniature original watercolors and highly collectable. Mostly rabbits and farm animals. But mostly rabbits. I have a new wonderful computer too. Thank you to God and all the people that made that possible!

This past week I have been organizing and setting up my eBay store. This cute little rabbit is one of the first listings I put up.

Barn Door: The newest project

Barndoor


This is my newest project. It took about three weeks from start to finish. The Painting is done on a 6' by 3' of masonite using a combination of laytex exterior paints (Baer) and liquetex polymer acrylics and then covered with a polymer matte finish. The painting is suppose to be finding its home on the side of a garden shed. However the new owner was so impressed I have a feeling it wont be outside too long.

Banana Frames and Bachelors Buttons

Ok Now I have spent weeks and months trying to second guess the market and I cant figure it out. Suddenly I get an e-mail from a friend about needing to buy some samplers from me to resell at her B&B and she suggested flowers this time. Well I did some and suddenly realized that this could work! She gave me flowers from her garden to paint and I have been having a blast!

These three watercolors are 5" by7" and framed to 8 by 10 opening.

They are $25 a piece with the frames

because I didnt have glass for these

and they are shrinkwrapped inside the frame.

MY VERSION OF SHABBY CHIC

Bottles and Jars with mixed Flowers

I am selling this 9" by 12" watercolor painting
at Fox Den for $45.00
Its framed but wrapped with shrink wrap.

For years people have been decorating their second usually country homes with odd pieces of furniture and those old farm kitchen milk painted furniture. But this year I woke up out of my conservative stupor (meaning I’m slow to change when I already like something. It’s a trait Jackie O had.) And I suddenly figured out that if I painted everything I own white.. I mean the few pieces of furniture I have.. I would be right in style. Sorry, I am not going to paint my mom and dad’s little cherry table, that I use as my computer desk, white!

I have shabby chic stuff all over my house. Although I think we finally recycled the old chenille bead spreads so many times that the last use was dog towel. At one point it was a tent too.

Now I have discovered that yes those weird looking white and banana frames I bought at a yard sale actually can be of use with out repainting them! They are totally shabby chic. Hahaha I’m chic! Well in a shabby sort of way.

But guess what. I got this interesting thing happening. My art sales have been like a sailboat in a windless sea the last two months. So what the heck, when a client called me and asked me to paint some flowers.. Well I did it. And some little jars I have too. How funny I sold about 15 or so of them last weekend ( for an undisclosed amount of money) and she gave me a bunch of flowers from her garden. So, all week I have been painting flowers. My most challenging one has been the bachelor’s button so far. But matched up with those shabby chic frames and some glass jars they totally Rock!

Animals!!!

These are the bread and butter of what I have been painting for the last two years. Pets, farm animals and foxes .. some deer. 5" by 7' go for $20 and the 4" by 6" size go for $15 each. I used to sell them with out matts or shrink wrapped but unfortunately right after valentines day 2006 people stopped buying them and started to steal them. Its really rough for some one like me who has so limited money to not make their rent or beable to buy art supplies because someone steals instead of buys it. I can resoulve it in my own mind though. I feel sort of sorry for people like that and feel they must be pretty desperate to steal from someone like me.

In June I expanded my space at Fox Den. Check it out!

Where Have I been??? Juggling??

I am not a juggler! ( but my sister was once)

Well I have been so overwhelmed with all that has been going on that finally I had to turn off the bells on my phones to get some work done. I know its annoying people but have you ever tried to paint a continuous wash and keep it smooth and wet and be continually interrupted by phone calls about nothing much.

Social times gotta stay after hours!

Ok that’s the rub.. I’m an artist.. I don’t get social until all the work is done. And I don’t have all the work done until all the ideas in my head are completed to the physical realm. Not to mention I just spent 2 months struggling for existence because I had pneumonia. So most everyone had free access to me then but I don’t remember it hahaha.

I have to have peace and quiet when I work. ( well benign background sounds are ok.. music, fox news, cnn, WTOP, mash….I don’t have to think about them and they don’t require attention.

I don’t understand why anyone would be offended because I work like this. Yet and alas….

Still I’ve managed so far this year to complete about 600 paintings and its only August. Well ok.. most of them were studies. And I haven’t even started the oils yet. But I am going to continue working like this until the end of October, God willing. Or I run out of materials.

And that means keeping up with my blog a few times a week. Because my writing has suffered. NO MORE….
