LIVING WATER

Image
                  DESOTO FALL, AL   Oil on Canvas - 16 X 20" PROPHETIC MEANING I always remember the power of the Living Water Jesus refers in the Gospel of John 14.4, which a states:  - "whoever drinks the 'water' that he offers will never be thirsty again"—  The living water symbolizes spiritual life, eternal life, and the Holy Spirit.  — They will never be thirsty again. This water becomes an inner spring, gushing forth to eternal life and satisfying the spiritual emptiness that physical water (from the well) cannot provide.  Main Aspects of the Passage (John 4:13-14):  * The promise: "But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst."  * The effect: This water becomes in them "a spring of water welling up to eternal life."  * The contrast: Whoever drinks physical water (from the well/world) "will be thirsty again."  Context: Jesus said this to the Samaritan woman at the well, revealin...

JESUS CHRIST, THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

  JESUS CHRIST,  THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE Oil on Canvas - 11" X  20" By Ruth Ferraz PROPHETIC MEANING The verse in this canvas, written in English and  Hebrew, J ohn 3.16 ,  is a  central Christian verse  where Jesus declares: -  "I AM THE WAY THE  TRUTH AND THE LIFE.  NO ONE COMES TO THE  FATHER EXCEPT TO ME". Jesus  affirms that He is  the ultimate access to  the Father in Heaven. He  is the unique path to the  union with God, which  was broken by sin. He afirms that He is the absolute Truth, not the wordly  relative one. He affirms also that He is The Life, the source of both physical and Spitual Life, Eternal Life, that start here  and now when we accept Him,  As Lord and Savior, not just after death. Jesus spoke this Word  to Thomas, during the  Last Supper,  comforting his  disciples about his departure and affirming  His role: that He is not just a...

JESUS CHRIST RECEIVING THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

JESUS RECEIVING THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT - Oil on Canvas - 36 X 24" By Ruth Ferraz   PROPHETIC MEANING Just after Jesus was baptized in the water by John, the Baptist, he went up straightway out of the water and heaven's where opened unto Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon Him. I understand that the Prophetic Meaning for this episode in the Gospel is to show us that we should also receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, not just in the water. I disclaime here that I am not a Pentecostal Christian because I don't accept some manifesting some Pentecostal Churches do, like falling, etc. They say that it is because the person are being or was baptized in the Spirit, even if they aren't showing the "fruits of the Spirit"! I understand that we should prove we are baptized  in Spirit, being a New Person, born again in Spirit.  Once we are born again we should be able to have the fruits of the Spirit: love, kindness, pati...

God Is Still Writting MY STORY

Image
By Ruth Ferraz   I was born profundly gifted with  Artist Talent, but only late in life it started really to be unlocked and blooming, mainly because I didn't learn in school how to draw realistic or I didn't have some incentive for this.  The fact that I grew up in a dysfunctional  family didn't help in the artistic way also, because as a sensitive girl I was felling all the problems around me very deeply, what blocked my expression. I lost the beautiful self expression I had in Kindegarden and till 7 years old when my dad was still alive. After that I stated  to become a very shy and quite girl.  You can ask me as I know that I was born profundly gifted with artistic talent? And I will answer you that my amazing memory and sharp mind is part of my talents, an IQ above average has help me a lot and even makes me social different. It isn't easy to be a gifted person, we need to be resilent with strength in the Lord to be satisfied, I depend in Him alone who...
