PAINT ON YOUR CANVAS

PAINT ON YOUR CANVAS

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

GOOD DAY. Let us play with some art. I remember when my children were young, two of them particularly liked art. They saw every plain surface as canvas on which to paint. They made so many paintings that had different meanings but whatever they painted on paper they got from another one of them that could cut paper in different shapes. Let us play the painting game then.

Take a blank piece of paper and paint on it the different things that you desire in 2023. See a large canvas but scale images down to the size of your paper so it will take everything. If you can’t make images, just make different balloons on the paper and write your desire in the balloons. I find that images make a lot of impression and are a very effective way to pray.

Having done that, I bring your attention to

John 3:27 “John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.”

Ephesians 1:3-4 says God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places. As you have asked and written out what you desire, you already have everything in heavenly places. This is because having these things will keep you away from sin and present you holy to the Lord. If the basics are lacking, temptation will set in. What we shall be learning from God Himself is how to draw down what is in heavenly places to earthly realm for our relief and enjoyment.
