The Blue Box

One of the things I really enjoy is art. Performing arts, plastic arts, art history all have taken a special spot in my hearts since I was a child. I took painting lessons growing up, and really enjoyed it. ...But it never occurred to me that the arts could be used for "ministry" until a few years ago. Then I started to hear about prophetic art and really liked the concept. If only there was a way that I could get activated in using the technique that I had learnt with the prophetic that Holy Spirit had in store for me? I wondered.

I had painted landscapes and basic figures, but I felt there was more to it. I just didn't know how. I experimented with a couple things as you can see on the pics made with color pencils (my thing is more oil paintings and pastels, but I tried). Coming to Redding one of the things that excited me was being able to somehow get involved in the arts and grow in it. So I signed up for a short course on "Supernatural Art". Today was my first class and it was fun!!! 

The speaker had a word of knowledge about "blue box", a couple people shared what it meant to them, and I remembered that growing up I put all my painting materials in a blue box (they're still there at home in Mexico). She prayed over us for a release "out of the box", a time where all creativity would flow like it did with Bezaleel (Exodus 35) when he was filled with the Holy Spirit. That's it! That's what my heart identified with!!! I always thought of myself as more of a craft girl, rather than an artist... the difference being artists are creative and craftsmen only follow patterns or things they see. But I've realized I was wrong; Papa put creativity in me and He is waiting for me to partner with Him and use it. I'm excited for what will come out of this season of activation and experimenting, I'm excited for the prophetic and the supernatural side of this ability that I had already been working on... I'm excited for the growth and the learning experience that I'll get. The colors, the brushes, the styles, the textures need to come out of the box... out of the blue box.
