Grow in Peace

Friday 30 December 2022 / Dyed4you Art / 0 Comments

Grow in Peace reminds us that as we choose to rest in the sovereignty of God, we are bathed in peace, for we know God is faithful.

Galatians 5:22-23 (AMP)But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Galatians 5:22-25 (MSG) But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely. Legalism is helpless in bringing this about; it only gets in the way.

John 14:27 (NKJV) Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Grow in Joy

Friday 16 December 2022 / Dyed4you Art / 0 Comments

Grow in Joy reminds us that regardless of what is happening around us, joy is our birthright through the anointing of Christ that resides within us, so may we focus on and press into that joy and watch it blossom and expand.

Isaiah 10:27 (KJV) …the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

Philippians 3:14 (TPT) I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus.

Psalm 23:5 (KJV) Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

John 2:27 (NKJV) But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you…

Soaking in the Waters of Life

Friday 23 September 2022 / Dyed4you Art / 0 Comments

Soaking in the Waters of Life represents an invitation for refreshing and revitalization. The all-sufficient One, El Shaddai, awaits – hand extended in invitation, “Come to the waters, beloved.”

John 5:2, 4 (TPT) Inside the city near the Sheep Gate there is a pool called in Aramaic, The House of Loving Kindness… an angel of God would periodically descend into the pool to stir the waters, and the first one who stepped into the pool after the waters swirled would instantly be healed.

Ayin Tovah (Good/Generous Eye)

Friday 22 July 2022 / Dyed4you Art / 0 Comments

Ayin Tovah (Good/Generous Eye) reminds us that our perspective is our choice, for we choose our interpretation of what we see and experience. So may we be intentional to choose well: to be full of grace, love, and generosity. This reminder is intended as empowerment rather than exhortation. Sometimes we do well, sometimes not, but as long as we remember we are empowered to decide our outlook, we may be intentional in choosing well.

Matthew 6:22-23 (RSV) “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light; but if your eye is not sound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!”

Proverbs 23:7a (AMP) For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…

Tune In

Friday 8 April 2022 / Dyed4you Art / 0 Comments

Tune In reminds us that even when we’re picking things up on an overwhelming number of frequencies, we can be intentional to find that place of stillness and tune in until Spirit helps things fall into place and come clear.

1 Samuel 3:10-11 (VOICE) Then the Eternal One came into his presence as before. Eternal One: Samuel! Samuel! Samuel: Speak, Eternal One. Your servant is listening. Eternal One: Pay attention!…
Amos 3:7 (VOICE) …The Eternal Lord does nothing Without revealing His plan to His servants, the prophets. They are His spokespeople.

Be Still

Tuesday 24 November 2020 / Dyed4you Art / 3 Comments

Be Still reminds us to lay down our burdens and simply rest in God.

Psalm 46:10 (KJV) Be still, and know that I [am] God…
Luke 10:38-42 (NIV)As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said.But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
John 14:6 (TPT) Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with me. To know me is to know my Father too.
John 15:4 (TPT) So you must remain in life-union with me, for I remain in life-union with you. For as a branch severed from the vine will not bear fruit, so your life will be fruitless unless you live your life intimately joined to mine.

Garden of His Love

Tuesday 28 January 2020 / Dyed4you Art / 4 Comments

Garden of His Love represents the quiet place of fellowship with the Lord where we are bathed in His love, and when we are saturated in His love we cannot help but be transformed.

Romans 8:38-39 (TPT) So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. I’m convinced that his love will triumph over death, life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from Gd’s passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One!

Anointed for War: Armed and Ready

Tuesday 22 October 2019 / Dyed4you Art / 3 Comments

Anointed for War: Armed and Ready reminds us that whether we see it or not, and whether we feel it or not, God has equipped us for whatever fight is before us.

2 Corinthians 10:4 (VOICE)The weapons of the war we’re fighting are not of this world but are powered by God and effective at tearing down the strongholds erected against His truth.
Ephesians 6:11-18 (VOICE) [including commentary from the Voice Translation in quotes] Put on the full armor of God to protect yourselves from the devil and his evil schemes. We’re not waging war against enemies of flesh and blood alone. No, this fight is against tyrants, against authorities, against supernatural powers and demon princes that slither in the darkness of this world, and against wicked spiritual armies that lurk about in heavenly places. And this is why you need to be head-to-toe in the full armor of God: so you can resist during these evil days and be fully prepared to hold your ground. Yes, stand—truth banded around your waist, righteousness as your chest plate, and feet protected in preparation to proclaim the good news of peace. Don’t forget to raise the shield of faith above all else, so you will be able to extinguish flaming spears hurled at you from the wicked one. Take also the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. “Paul knows that the real battles and dangers we face are not against flesh and blood. The enemies we see are real enough, but they are animated by spiritual forces of darkness that stay strategically hidden from view. These powers often reveal themselves in institutional evils—genocide, terror, tyranny, and oppression—but the weapons needed to combat them are not earthly weapons at all. What is needed, Paul advises, is to stand firm in God’s power and to suit up in the full armor of God. Although the devil and his demon armies are destined for destruction, they are serious threats now and must be resisted and beaten back. For Paul, the best offensive weapons we have are the word of God and prayer.” Pray always. Pray in the Spirit. Pray about everything in every way you know how! And keeping all this in mind, pray on behalf of God’s people. Keep on praying feverishly, and be on the lookout until evil has been stayed.

Peaceable Kingdom

Monday 7 October 2019 / Dyed4you Art / 3 Comments

Peaceable Kingdom reminds us of the promised peace and tranquillity of His Kingdom. This is how it was meant to be – like a glimpse of the Garden of Eden, and our role in bringing His Kingdom to earth now.

Selah (Divine Interlude)

Selah (Divine Interlude) represents a holy pause – whether initiated by God or you, the result is the same: a moment or season carved out for rest and reflection.

Come to the River

Psalm 1:1-3 (TPT) What delight comes to those who follow God’s ways! They won’t walk in step with the wicked, nor share the sinner’s way, nor be found sitting in the scorner’s seat. Their pleasure and passion is remaining true to the Word of “I Am,” meditating day and night in his true revelation of light. They will be standing firm like a flourishing tree planted by God’s design, deeply rooted by the brooks of bliss, bearing fruit in every season of their lives. They are never dry, never fainting, ever blessed, ever prosperous.
