Prophetic art: Dancing above the clouds (circumstances)

Tanz über den Wolken (Umständen)

© Copyright 2021 by JockyArt.de

This painting was commissioned by a husband as a birthday present for his wife. While I was working on it, it suddenly took a completely different direction than I had originally intended...

I wrote this to the recipient:

Hello dear [...],

Your husband […] asked me to create a prophetic picture for you. I was to pray for you and then paint what I received from Jesus for you with colored pencils.
Als ich nun für Dich betete, kam sehr schnell der Eindruck, dass Du sehr viele Herausforderungen, Schwierigkeiten und Probleme hast und diese mit Dir herumschleppst. Diese Lasten sind so schwer, dass Du fast an ihnen zerbrichst.

But my impression was that you shouldn't bear these burdens at all, that Jesus wants to take them from you because He already bore them on the cross long ago. You are welcome to give them to Him; He wants to take them from you.

„Cast all your cares on him; for he cares for you.“ 1 Peter 5:7

If you manage to give these burdens to Jesus, it will set you free in such a way that you will feel like you are dancing on clouds. Jesus wants to give you lightness and freedom. Jesus will help you to give this burden to him.

Somehow, this passage from the Song of Songs also came to mind, which for me also expresses this lightness and carefreeness:

„There's my friend's voice! Behold, he comes and hops over the mountains and leaps over the hills.“ 
Song of Songs 2: 8

Jesus, your beloved, leaps with ease over the mountains and dances with you above the clouds. Jesus wants to dance with you, to give you this lightness...

When I drew the picture, it developed in a completely different direction. Originally, I wanted to depict a beautiful blue sky and some fluffy clouds. Now the picture is full of red tones, which of course also represent the blood of Christ, who gave his life for you, shed his blood so that you could have a fulfilled, abundant life. But I can't shake the suspicion that the picture is also about your own BLOOD, that you may have problems with your blood and bleeding, a very feminine problem. Jesus wants to meet you there too, to heal and free you so that you can dance carefree.

I bless you with this image and these words, I grant you freedom, lightness, and healing.

Be blessed. Peace be with you!

I am curious to hear what you think of this image and text. I would appreciate your feedback.

Warm regards and God’s bless
Johannes

Since the image turned out surprisingly red, I have the impression that Jesus wants to heal endometriosis through this image. This condition causes very painful tissue to form outside the uterus. If you are affected by this, please reach out for healing so that Jesus can heal you there!

You can order the image in various reproductions such as art prints, posters, and canvases.

Prophetic art: No condemnation

© Copyright 2019 by JockyArt.de

This prophetic commissioned painting was a birthday gift from a mother to her wonderful daughter.
Here is the text I sent with the painting.

"I prayed and asked Jesus what He would like to say to you. It took a while before I received anything for you. But then, relatively quickly, the Bible verse from Romans 8: 1 came to me:

“There is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”

Now the question was how to translate this into an image. It took me a while to figure out how it should look in the picture.

I saw you kneeling in front of a broken mirror, wearing a beautiful white dress. You were surrounded by the shards of destruction. Where the mirror glass had fallen, the words “NO DAMNATION!” were visible. Behind the mirror stood Jesus, looking at you kindly and invitingly. Without accusation or condemnation, but full of love and care.

I think this beautiful dress means that Jesus has redeemed and cleansed you through His blood. He paid a high price so that you can now stand before Him without guilt or shame and enjoy fellowship with Him, because He has cleansed you.

The mirror represents your own expectations and false ideas that you have of yourself and believe you cannot fulfill. You collapsed under your own expectations and could no longer bear your own reflection, so you smashed the mirror in frustration. This revealed the truth that had already been there before: NO DAMNATION!

Jesus does not condemn you, he does not accuse you. All these self-imposed demands and lies fall to the ground:
Nicht genug, nicht heilig genug, nicht schön genug, nicht fleißig genug, zu wenig Bibel gelesen, zu wenig gebetet …

His blood paid the price; He took on the guilt, the punishment you deserved. Whether you are acceptable before Him has nothing to do with you! No matter how much good you have done, no matter how many bad things you have done or how many things you have not done that you should have done—it has absolutely no influence on how much He loves you! It all depends on Him and His work on the cross. He has washed you clean with His blood.

There is nothing the enemy can accuse you of, because Jesus has paid for all your sins! No condemnation for you! Only complete acceptance and love! Feel yourself embraced by His loving arms, full of love, acceptance, and appreciation! Bathe in this truth!

The recipient of the picture was very happy to receive it and cried tears of joy when she saw it. She was particularly moved by the Bible verse because she had previously memorized Romans 8 and thought that she would be a different person and start something new if she could believe in “no condemnation.”

When I told the story behind the picture to a small group of people, a young woman began to cry and explained that she had wanted to jump off a bridge the day before. We were able to pray for her and proclaim life over her!

Prophetic Art: Look into the Light

Schau aufs Licht

© 2018 Copyright by JockyArt.de

I used to post my art on my old website, Jocky.de, which wasn't solely dedicated to my art. I now want to gradually post the pictures I posted there back then here:

Post from July 5, 2018:

I was home in Naila over the weekend to celebrate several birthdays. It was the perfect opportunity to paint pictures and hear what Jesus has to say to the birthday children (and to all of us?).

This picture gave me the impression that Jesus is calling us to look away from the darkness that so easily draws our attention (all the negative things, things that go wrong, disappointments, wishes that have not yet been fulfilled...) and to look toward the light, toward Jesus.

We can focus on the good things. On everything that Jesus is and has already done for us, on his nature, his character, his promises, but also on all the good things that have already happened to us, the grace we have been able to experience...

"Those who sacrifice thank-offerings honour me, and to the blameless[ I will show my salvation."
Psalm 50: 23

There is another unusual story related to this picture. At a gathering, a friend purchased an art print of this image and then left it at home. Her daughter, who was 8 years old at the time, had a remarkable experience with the art print. I have permission to share it here:

A short time later, my friend wrote to me and gave me permission to share this testimony.
Folgendes hat sie mir geschrieben:

"My daughter had a healing experience with your picture. I'll quote some of her words: She had “severe stomach pains.” She then discovered your picture and looked at it more closely. Because she liked it, she moved closer and closer. As she looked at it, she experienced that her stomach pains “suddenly disappeared completely.” She thought that was “totally awesome.” And I was happy, hallelujah!"

That alone is remarkable, that God heals through an image without anyone praying for healing. But it goes even further.

So I shared the report card in various Facebook groups and got the expected reactions. Nothing unusual there. But someone asked if it had been my intention to draw an intestine. I was surprised by this question (people see all kinds of things in my pictures that I never intended). Fortunately, I asked her why she was asking that. She replied that it would look exactly like the inside of the intestine and posted a picture of intestinal villi. The resemblance is amazing! I think that's really cool.

Especially since I myself have recurring stomach and intestinal problems and there are also recurring difficulties in this regard within my family.

Part 2 of the series available: Light and salvation

© Copyright 2025 by JockyArt.de

During a worship time in the church, the song "Licht und Heil" (Light and Salvation) by Joy & Markus Fackler was played. I found it so beautiful that we are carried by God in a dark and challenging time, so I created this picture. No matter how dark it is in our lives, there is always hope that Jesus is our light and salvation.

A woman who saw the first painting during an art therapy session was totally taken by it. She said that there had to be a sequel. What happens next with the kneeling person? So I decided to turn it into a series. So here is picture 2: the person stands up and looks at the light and has some hope...

Licht und Heil II

I already ► posted the first picture some time ago, and there are also ► quality postcards available in DinA5 format. The third and last picture in the series is still in progress.

New commission: The gateway to the unknown

Tor ins Ungewisse

© Copyright 2025 by JockyArt.de

I am very pleased to be able to present another finished commissioned painting to you today. This prophetic painting was the customer's third picture and she was very enthusiastic each time.

I have added the following impression to the painting:

When I prayed for you, I saw a large open gate in a tower that belonged to a fortress or fortified city. Somehow it reminded me of oriental buildings, like from 1001 Nights. They were beautiful and richly decorated. Inside the fortress, it was bright, warm, safe and cozy. Outside it was dark and gloomy and felt threatening... But there was a strong call from Jesus to you: “Come out, out into the open, out of the city, out of the gate!” Jesus is calling you out to go with Him into the distance into the unknown. You felt uneasy, because you loved the place inside the fortress, the outside was so dark, uncertain and threatening!

But Jesus' call was clear and very strong. He is really calling you out. But He also assures you that He will go with you, that He will be with you. You are not alone! And who knows, maybe you will actually enjoy being out there with Him and relying on Him completely? Who knows? You'll only find out when you go out there!

“Behold, a door was opened in heaven, and the first voice which I heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, 'Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this. And immediately I was in the Spirit...” Revelation 4: 1 + 2

Eine Vorskizze in meinem Skizzenbuch

The recipient wrote me these enthusiastic words after receiving the painting:

Once again, I am totally touched and grateful. The picture is beautiful and it fits 100 percent again. I've been facing a big life decision for some time now, I hear God calling me, but it scares me at the same time. 

Your picture therefore encourages me very much to take this step and I will do so, trusting in God. 

A little addendum: The door in your picture reminds me a lot of the doors in my apartment. I don't have “normal doors”, but doors with a beautiful round arch. The walls are also brick. That's why I've always jokingly called my apartment a “princess” apartment. 

It goes so well with your painting. But now it's time to leave the familiar behind me and take new steps. 

On request, the picture is of course also available as an art print, poster, canvas or as a custom-made product such as a pillow or blanket.

Commissioned painting: The new spiritual glasses

Die geistliche Brille

Today I'm presenting a new commissioned painting that I've finally been able to complete. It took me a little longer to create a preliminary study in my sketchbook because I didn't know exactly how to realize the painting creatively.

© Copyright 2024 by JockyArt 

I have already received very positive feedback from the client. Here is the text I wrote to him about the picture:

When I prayed for you, I had the impression that Jesus wanted to give you a new pair of spiritual glasses, almost like night-vision goggles. With your normal eyes, you can only see the perhaps disturbing events in the world and in yourself, which may even frighten you. But Jesus wants to give you a pair of glasses with which you can see into the spiritual reality, i.e. recognize God's perspective. You can suddenly see light, love and hope in a dark world. Jesus wants to show you His view of things. He wants to lead and guide you. He wants to show you where to go, where you should go, at what pace, when it is time to move on, when you should stop and take a break, He wants to warn you of dangers, show you when and where there are divine moments that you might miss.

Now, of course, you have to accept these glasses and say YES to them. And, of course, to put them on again and again, i.e. to decide again and again for God's perspective and to tear your gaze away from those things in the world that want to frighten you. Jesus wants to teach you how to use these glasses, how to deal with what you see through them! Enjoy your new glasses and the picture.

I'm looking forward to your feedback.”
