A. This painting is Jesus in the garden with the children. In the last days God is going to pour out His Spirit on the youth and even unto babes.
B. Humility as a child: Jesus says; "Forbid not the children to come unto me.”
1. Matthew 18:2-4 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst
of them, 3 and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and
become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
4
"Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the
kingdom of heaven.
C. There is going to be revelation given to those with a child like faith:
1. Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, "I thank You, Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and
prudent and have revealed them to babes.
D. In the last days worship will spring forth like never before out of the
children, along with sign and wonders.
1. Matthew 21:15-16 But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful
things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying,
"Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant16 and said to Him, "Do You
hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read,
‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise’?”
2. Isaiah 8:18 18 Here am I and the children whom the Lord has given me! We are
for signs and wonders in Israel From the Lord of hosts, Who dwells in Mount
Zion.
E. The children shall do spiritual warfare, so Jesus is about to down load to
this generation His plans and purposes, along with those with a child like faith
to receive from the Lord, for God is pouring out His power and spirit on all
flesh and He is raising up an awesome army that will not break rank in these
days.
1. Psalm 127:3-5 3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. 4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth. 5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
My Mission and the Mike DeLorenzo Art Gallery is to inspire and to share the revelational aspect of art in God's coming Kingdom.
I am inspired to paint this art which gives insight into the heart and mind of our Lord and Savior.
