Am 16./17.9.2022 werde ich dort sein, um meine Kunst zu machen, gemeinsam mit Besuchern ein Bild zu gestalten und für Fragen zur Verfügung zu stehen. Natürlich könnt ihr dort meine Kunst anschauen und kaufen.
Dieses Bild ist während einer Gebets- und Lobpreiszeit spontan entstanden. Es gibt eine Textpassage, die mich in letzter Zeit immer wieder begleitet. Sie stammt ursprünglich aus dem Song “Love on Fire” von Jeremy Riddle:
I put off all my heaviness and
I put on this garment of praise
You turned my mourning into dancing
And You turned my night into day
Es ist eine Sache, dass Jesus unsere Trauer in Tanzen verwandelt, aber eine andere Sache selbst aus aller Schwere heraus zu treten und sie immer wieder abzustreifen. Das geht durch Tanzen natürlich ganz wunderbar :).
Das Original des Bildes kann gekauft werden oder verschiedene Prints und Leinwände davon angefertigt werden.
Vor einiger Zeit war ich mal wieder zu Besuch im Gebetshaus München. In einer intensiven Lobpreis- und Gebetszeit, haben wir HOFFNUNG über München und Deutschland ausgesungen und freigesetzt. Dabei ist dieses spontane, prophetische Bild entstanden.
This picture was created during a very brilliant worship time in the House of Prayer in Munich. The presence of God shaped the atmosphere of this time and was like a river of liquid fire as we sang over and over again: “I love Your Presence” (Wir lieben Deine Gegenwart).
I was once again allowed to create an commission for a customer who was already very satisfied with a painting from me a year earlier.
I wrote this to the client:
When I prayed for you, I got a very unusual impression. For I saw you driving a chariot of the kind used in ancient times in chariot racing or in war. What was unusual about the scenery, however, was that the carriage was not pulled by a team of horses, but by a huge, flying dove. And the chariot flew through lofty heights and moved very quickly across the sky. It was quite fiery and passionate to the point.
I believe that the picture means that God is going to speed you up, that you are going much faster now. That God will enable you through the Holy Spirit (the dove) to move in the spiritual sphere and no longer let earthly entanglements hold you back.
But I also think that this is an invitation to you, which you can probably choose again and again.
Reach out and grasp the hand of God. Have fun, it will be exciting!
I received very enthusiastic feedback from the client:
And what can I say... the picture is so incredibly beautiful!! I love it and could watch it all the time, it brings me to tears! The dove is so beautiful, it looks so strong, full of power. And the golden fiery color...it looks so regal. I am impressed and grateful for the picture, painted just for me.
And the message behind it is fierce. I am so thankful to God that he wants me to look deeper into the spiritual world. This is something I wish very much. Being closer to him, being totally guided by the Holy Spirit, trusting him absolutely, more of his gifts... it fills me with gratitude and humility that God wants to give this to me.
Thank you Johannes, I think what you do is so strong and great. That you use your talents like this! I want to encourage you to keep doing this because you are a blessing to others!
After the art calendar was a great success after initial difficulties (I don't even have a personal copy), I decided to offer calendars again for 2023.
Both calendars contain completely different images. With the postcard calendar, the calendar can be separated from the motif and used as a postcard. You can send the card in Germany or just hang it on the fridge or pin board.
The designs are not final yet. So I'm happy about feedback, corrections or suggestions.
Pre-orders can be made now. The calendars will not go to print until enough orders have been received. The lower pre-order price is available until September 30th, 2022, the more quantities you order, the cheaper it will be for you.
If the minimum order quantity has been reached, I will send you the invoices. Then the orders are also binding. I then use the money to pay for the printing. I will send you the calendars in good time before Christmas so that you can still send them as gifts yourself.
I created an overview page for both calendars, where you can see the designs and motifs in large and read the stories behind the pictures.
Ich habe vor Kurzem einen Podcast gestartet, um meinen Predigten ein neues Zuhause zu geben. Hier werde ich nach und nach meine alten Predigten hochladen. Sicherlich werde ich hier und da auch neues Material.
Seit neuestem kann man auf Spotify auch Videos hochladen, das ich mit meiner 2. Folge ich auch gleich ausprobiert. Momentan ist der Podcast nur auf deutsch verfügbar.
HOFFNUNG war in meinem Leben immer wieder herausgefordert, so habe ich mich sehr damit beschäftigt. Wie kann ich meine Hoffnung bewahren, wenn sich Träume hinziehen und ich immer wieder enttäuscht werde?
In der griechischen Mythologie gab es die Büchse der Pandora, die unter keinen Umständen geöffnet werden durfte. Was natürlich passiert ist. Dadurch kam alles Leid, Schmerz, Krieg, Untugend und Elend auf die Welt. Sie wurde ein zweites Mal geöffnet und auch die HOFFNUNG konnte entweichen…
Die Handlung des Films “Avatar” spielt die Handlung auf dem Mond Pandora, der zweite Teil des Films MATRIx heißt reloaded. Er wurde quasi nochmal neu geladen.
At the beginning of July my little brother celebrated his silver wedding anniversary together with his wife. As a gift, I have converted their wedding bible verse into a picture.
“Wie glücklich sind die, deren Stärke in Dir ist, deren Herz sich nach Dir sehnt.” Psalm 84:6
I just send out a new art newsletter (auf Deutsch), that you can read here: click.
I'll tell you about the ongoing changes on this website, tell you about my school assignment, some wonderful things that God has done with my last commissioned paintings I introduce you my new video of testimony in which I tell myself how the Holy Spirit touched me through a picture of my own. And finally, I'll give you some important realizations from my mentoring program .
You are welcome to subscibe to this newsletter here: click.
Little by little I am adding more and more products to my shop. This time I introduced a new product category with canvases . I will gradually post more pictures that you can order as canvases (of course other motifs are also possible, just ask me about them).
I offer two variants: Once pulled, in which the motif is pulleded over the edge, or simply with a black edge.
Other variants are possible, but it would be too complicated to list them for each product. For example, different frames are possible. Just come to me with your wishes.
