I was praying about doing a Christmas theme, and these two houses stood out to me to paint in a Christmas setting.  After painting part of the houses, I was asking the Lord to give me something about Him in this painting.  Upon receiving communion, I was deeply impressed by the Holy Spirit to have Jesus walking up the street with angels blowing shofars. After a lady prayed with me, I knew I was to put the Lion and the Lamb in the painting, as well as the Alpha and the Omega, for Jesus first came as a baby in the manger as the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world, but He is coming back as the Lion of Judah.  In the upper right hand corner you will see  the hand of God coming down, for He is saying,  "It is time for My visitation.”  Jesus wants to visit you and I more than we can possible imagine. In the painting, there are also 6 angels sounding shofars and the people are looking up, for the Bible says: "Look up, for your redemption draws nigh.”   Jesus is the reason for the season.  The greatest gift we can receive is God’s Son, Jesus.  

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.
