The posts you find here are prophecies, presented in the belief that they are from God, in the context of 1 Thessalonians 5: "Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good." So if you find them of value, thank God, the God of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who sent Him into the world to save sinners, which was done by His death on the cross and His resurrection.

Prophecies were a feature of the early church and can be seen at times throughout church history. In recent years they have reemerged as a part of the Charismatic movement in many parts of the church. Please understand that they are not intended to challenge, replace or add to scripture, which must always be the test of what is said.

Please let me know what you think: I offer them in the belief that they will be of value to people, but conscious that I may be guilty of presumption.

Context

These prophecies were given as a result of visits to art galleries; specifically so far Manchester Art Gallery. Where possible I will include a link to a photo of the pieces of art which inspire them, but in many cases they don't seem to have made it onto the web.

To GOD be the glory.

Beauty

Inspired by the V&A  (http://www.vam.ac.uk/) museum pottery display

This is your civilisation, my child, your culture, your inheritance. With their beauty I have blessed your people, and with comfort and many good things - but they are hungry for ever more. For in the midst of this tide of possessions they have lost me - and think to find me in getting yet more.

But I am not mocked; I am not found in a plenitude of possessions but in the humble surrender of the heart to me. Then these things can be enjoyed in their proper context, and i will enjoy the pleasure of my people in these beautiful things.

But so many of you will not turn. More and more you are hearing my word, my call to repentance, but the current of life whirls you on before you will listen long enough to repent and turn and be saved. So what am I to do? Must not the loving shepherd destroy that which is leading the flock into danger? So it is with you, my children, once more I will shake your society, your civilisation to make people desperate enough to stop and listen to my word. Then the harvest will be great, and my banqueting hall will be full. For surely I love them too much to let them die in their comfort - and perish.
