For Armenia

Joanne Lepp

When the gathering in Armenia took place in November 2023, I felt very connected with what was taking place. From watching online, there were a number of themes shared both in the sessions and the prophetic words, some of which I tried to represent in the painting. Firstly, there was a significant and deep time spent in worship and in prayer at Mt Ararat itself, where Noah's ark rested. The Armenian flute, the duduk, represents ‘the song of the land’ which the Armenian people released in the gathering as they shared their hearts and recent losses.  Visions were shared of seeing the Lion of Judah roaring over Armenia releasing the sound of Almighty Elohenu Adonai. Also seen were the horses released from heaven to do His commands on the earth. A ‘rebirthing, redeeming and renewing of life’ are represented by the dove which was released as a corporate healing took place with those from the nations loving on the Armenian people.

The painting was presented to Papa Gideon Chiu, recognizing his undaunted devotion to the Body and commitment to Jesus Christ. Papa Gideon has been away from his home and church family much of this year because of his call to serve in the nations but has brought back into our midst an inheritance from the nations. We honour him and love him. May God’s presence continue to lead him.

The Sedimentary Rock of Life

Life is not perfect, but God is in charge - just like the unique patterns of the sedimentary rock.

Enjoy your journey, But don't forget home!

Life journey is full of wonders. The Bible says we have a place in the home of our Lord.

No matter what you are experiencing, we need to remember God is always with you.

Thank you, Lord, for letting me travel with You in the spiritual realm. I have a great time creating this trip with You, You helped me to evolve the painting with joy on this journey.

Be Still

Lately, I am distracted by the world. This painting encourages me to remember God's promise. The meaning of the Chinese writing is, "Should be silent, because I AM here." It seems God is telling me not to worry, He is here. He is gentle and comforting.

I hope this painting will also touch your heart.

In the mist of the COVID crisis, we all are in a state of emergency in Vancouver, B.C. But that won't prevent us from isolating from our creativity. This painting is my imaginative world. I have the image on my mind and have the urge to paint it out, modified during the flow of creating it. Two fishes are swimming beside a lily leaf, making two bubbles. I named it Companion. We are made to care for each others , as God care for us in any circumstance.

Rainbow Cross

As we prepare to celebrate Passover, these rainbow crosses symbolize the hope we have in Christ, and His covenant of love with us. They were created by different people, of different ages, during the same week before this year’s Passover.

Genesis 9:12

And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.”

And, just as the Israelites put the blood of the lamb on the doors of their homes as protection from death during the first Passover, many around the world today are putting rainbows in their windows so that passerby can feel hope during the coronavirus pandemic.

The rainbow symbolizes God’s covenant of love with us, and the cross points to how Jesus is our hope. Jesus shines brightly over all that is happening.

Wings of Fire and Living Water

第一幅画是2017年2月神给我的一个意象看见的，当时不明白是什么意思，只是知道圣洁十字架的翅膀一个是火焰一个是活水。

This first painting was from an image God showed me in February 2017. I didn't understand what it meant at the time. I just knew that these wings of the holy cross are fire and living water.

2020年4月4日是中国的清明节，是祭奠故去人的日子，今年这一天也是中国悼念因为新冠病毒死亡的人的国家悼念日。这一天神突然让我看见3年前给我的异像中十字架的翅膀启动了！激活了！并且开始震荡煽动着！翅膀越来越大力的震动！火的翅膀发出火焰燃烧着，活水的翅膀如海浪翻腾着！向周围发出去！到很远很远！

我看见的是非常震撼的画面，我无法画出万分之一的感觉，只是快快的画出来，记录下来。

在这个特别的时刻，和全地的关锁在家里过逾越节的日子。相信神要成就大事！ 这个激活是什么更深的意义？我还在求问神。

4月4日中国全国有3分钟的静默肃立不动的时刻，而我看见的十字架的静止的翅膀在这一天开始启动和激活了!

第二张图中的字:
(蓝色的字) 活水的浪潮
(红色的字) 烈火焰
(中间的字是) 激活！启动！大力震动翅膀的圣洁的十字架

April 4th, 2020, was China's Tomb Sweeping Day, a day to remember those who have died, and, this year, it was also a national day of mourning for those who died of the coronavirus in China. On this day, God suddenly showed me the wings of the cross in the vision He showed me three years ago! Is has been activated, and started to stir and stir! The wings shook more and more vigorously. The wings of the fire are burning, and the wings of the living water are rolling like waves, releasing fire and water all around, further and further out!

What I saw was a very shocking picture. I couldn’t fully capture the feelings of what I saw. I just drew it quickly and recorded it.

At this special moment, we celebrate Passover at home as people around the world are forced to stay home. I believe that God will accomplish great things!

On April 4th, 2020, people throughout China observed a three-minute moment of silence, and the static wings of the cross I saw were activated on this day!

The Chinese words in this picture are:
(Blue words) The wave of living water
(Red words) Fire ablaze
(Words in the middle) Activate! Start up! Shake vigorously the wings of the holy cross
