A surprise at the creative workshop at the Methodist Church

Ermutigungstage: Kreativworkshop

I’m really glad that I was able to lead a creative workshop a while back as part of the Encouragement Days at the EMK Erlöserkirche. I had six young participants who created a wide variety of pieces. It was a lot of fun.

I was invited to dinner with everyone. We had a delicious curry with rice. I hadn't originally planned on attending the worship service that evening.

I was especially delighted that I was asked on the spot to create an impromptu prophetic picture for the guest speaker during these days. I was supposed to create it during the worship evening. Now that’s what I call truly spontaneous! So I stayed, and I received an impression relatively quickly. I was able to present the picture to the speaker and pray for him as well.

A striking testimony about the commissioned painting: Light on the Path

Here, I’d like to share with you the valuable feedback I received on this drawing:

“I don’t even know what to say about this picture. It really captures the situation I’m in right now. It completely overwhelmed me.”

Right now, I’m in a situation where I feel exactly as that pit depicts. And sometimes I haven’t seen that light at all. I’ve also been afraid time and again to make decisions, worried that they might be wrong.

This vision is such a powerful source of encouragement for me and for my journey. The accompanying Bible verses have also encouraged me greatly. And I believe once again that Jesus will show me the way through His Word. Thank you so much, dear Johannes, for this wonderful prophetic drawing.

New commissioned painting: The new level

Neue Ebene

I'm very happy to be able to present you a new commissioned painting that I was able to finish recently.
It was the second commission from a friend in the church, each for one of her daughters.

The picture totally challenged me, for a long time I wasn't sure how to approach the whole thing. I started several attempts, even with some digital sketches.

This is what I wrote to the recipient about my impression:

Hello [...],
your mother asked me to pray for you and then to paint my impression as a picture with my colored pencils.
Here's what I received for you when I heard for you. I saw you squeeze through a crack in the ground. You left the level you were on before, climbed through the rift to the new level and are now in a whole new land.

What now lies before you is completely blank and unknown. But it was necessary to leave the familiar, well-known level behind you and dare something new. Somehow that wasn't the usual way to leave something behind either. That can be quite challenging, because you have to find your way in the new environment first.

But it is Jesus who has led you to the new level and He will also be with you in the new phase, accompanying you and helping you. Have courage, God is with you!

Warm regards and God’s bless
Johannes
