My Ability

Prophetic Ministry

   My Junior year of High School, I felt led to start art. My brother Alan; 1992, had always been an amazing artist and I wanted to be able to join him in the ranks among the great and the creative. As I started art I quickly realized it was a passion I had, that I had kept hidden all my life under distractions. [What a magical thing true identity is when distractions are out of the way.] 
   Throughout the year I enjoyed art class and is honestly the only class I remember vividly. Every other class could have jumped off a bus going 40 mph for all I care. Through this ability it became apparent to me that I had a vivid imagination. Through this imagination I would consider the Holy Spirit, (Even though I wasn't at the time fully devoted to art but was able to recognize God's voice easily) and ask him what to draw. I suddenly grew a very in-depth obsession with the human heart. It was a wonderful experience, I researched the human heart and found out about most of the functions, purposes and part of the heart. I don't know why but that is all I drew, the more I drew the better I got. 
   Eventually I was good enough to be able to draw and actually show people. So I drew this...

  
    I didn't know what it was either, but at the time I was extremely satisfied to what would be my first "Prophetic Heart". One night after a message I preached at a FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes), I noticed that this tall red haired girl looked inconspicuously sad. Immediately as I noticed this, God laid it on my heart to give her the drawing. At the moment I thought to myself, "How can I just give it away... This took time and it was hard to draw and it's amazing, I don't even know this girl... What the heck God... really?" But thanks be to the Holy Spirit for reaching into my backpack to bust it out and hand it over. As soon as I did, thinking it was an idea I was going to regret, she started getting confused. "I knew it this is stupid, why did I do that", I argued with myself, but then I noticed she asked, "What does it mean?", IMMEDIATELY as soon as that N rolled off her tongue, a burst of knowledge came forth and I spoke a word of knowledge over her. Her facial reactions went from confused, to scared, to happy, to sad, to joy. It was glorious and it allowed me to go forth and bring life and the message to her more. After that night I realized why I had been gifted with this resounding ability. To reach others through prophetic art as means of communication God's view of their heart. Soon there after, I passionately started drawing peoples hearts more frequently and I started getting better with my artistic abilities, with fervor. Up till recently I have been drawing getting better and spoken to a lot of people based on their hearts. 
   I continue to this day to draw these hearts, but now focusing on how to get more accurate. People's hearts aren't always shaped as hearts, rather it's how God sees the representation of what he sees in people's heart life. Let me give you an example. 

   This heart entitled Grounded Foundation Disease has a meaning of it's own. It's really great. Here is the Interpretation of it. (Found below the Image)


Grounded Foundational Disease 
Through a foundation that was outgrown to choke the life out of this person, His head has become a mucous that won't let him breath. The roots have grown up and have entangled him and his values on what he thinks is a moral right. He has been called to be a servant of the Lord but is consumed by his own ideals and philosophies. However there is Hope, life and light is found in this. But he has his back towards it. Trying to look everywhere for truth instead of what is right behind him. - Holy Spirit

   Basically that is what this person is going through, something that God just simply revealed to me that I followed without fear of denial or anger. This is what I do, this is what I love. I do this not to receive a gift or blessing from God, but rather I get to serve God and help people. That in itself is a blessing/gift.

  Scripture to help people Understand my gift: 
   - Deuteronomy 29:29
   - Acts 1:7-8 (Ask if you need me to explain)
   - Acts 6:8-10

Do you realize.

Do you realize.


 We tend to go on about different things in the world and notice that we aren't here for our lovers, our animal companions, our galaxy. If you think about it.. what is the one emotion that leads us to being human. Love. 


"'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.', This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF', On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets." - Matthew 22: 37-40

Your Spiritual Heart, the most beautiful thing God gave us, the gateway to understanding God's desires, wants, yearnings, and emotions. In the Passage Mark 10:13-16:

"13And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them. 14But when Jesus saw this , He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. "15Truly I say to you , whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all. 16And he took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them."



   We Learn here several things Concerning the 
Spiritual Heart, we should take into account two things. 1. Children, 2. the kingdom of God. 

1. Children, we know what they are; Physical and relational blessings from God corrupted by the world and the sinful nature that we have. However, take note of the fact that children are "child-like"; they are silly, wise, conniving, entertaining, fun, curious, and accident-prone. In verses 14-15, two things happened:
  
    - Jesus gets indignant:
      in·dig·nant/inˈdignənt/
         Adjective:
   Feeling or showing anger or annoyance at what is perceived as unfair treatment
   - Jesus tells us how to inherit the kingdom of God: Like a child.

You see God doesn't care how mature we act in front or 'behind' Him when we come forth with a problem or if we just want to speak with Him, the point is that you came to Him to begin with. (v13. And they were bringing children to Him). 

2. The Kingdom of God. Read the scripture again, but this time replace where it says kingdom of God, to heart of God. Now do you see a difference?

Now what does Heart of God actually mean though? 
   - Proverbs 28:14Blessed is the man who always fears the LORD, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble
   - Proverbs 15:13A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit
   - Matthew 11:29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest 

for your souls.

   - Mark 7:21-22; For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and foll

   - Romans 5:5And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love
   - Ephesians 3:16-18I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.

   Ok so now that we understand how God and our Hearts relate to each other we can continue onward to victory with this new understanding. You see when you learn to recognize God's heart you'll understand more and more how God feels about certain things, and you'll begin to become familiar to know his opinions (Which are just and perfect and always true). So if that is the case, now you can ask or know in your heart how God feels about certain things like drinking, smoking pot, cussing, pornography, pie, eating, environment, etc... So basically an indicator to know Him more. Have you ever realized that when you hang around certain people constantly that you adapt their mannerisms? So now think about it. Lets say you are constantly asking the Holy Spirit what He thinks about certain things, what He would like to do with you, how does He want to hang out with you today, etc... I don't know if it's just me, but I'll get His "Holy Christ-like Mannerisms", So that one song that goes like, "Give me your eyes for just one second..." suddenly makes sense now. The more you get used to talking to people you become familiar with their views on things, with their likes and dislikes, same with God/Jesus/ Holy Spirit. So now with this new found long paragraph of awesomeness lets read this again with the substitution in mind. (Don't worry I got you covered by saving you a few scroll ups.)

14But when Jesus saw this , He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the [heart of God] belongs to such as these. "15Truly I say to you , whoever does not receive the [heart of God] like a child will not enter it at all.

BLAM!!!

wHat

 My name is Johan

   As a life that everyone lives through, we are entitled to something on this earth. Oxygen. Something that is free, scarce, and available for everyone. We relate to each other through means of media, culture, the Holy Spirit, and through global predicaments. 
  As a result I have been encouraged to let you in on the things that I have going on around my head, thoughts, ideas, and basically common knowledge that allows people to express ideas, get ideas, help someone out, and as well create a community of people that Fathers things from all parts of life and bring them forth to not be judged rather throw rocks at; not to mock but to check the genuineness of the idea. 

If your willing to get hit with a rock because of what you stand for , THEN it will be worth standing for. Gentlemen, ready your arm...

   Posts include, anything that goes on through my head for certain people, ideas, or predicaments. I may be wrong, but hey isn't God awesome for allowing me fail, glorifying Him and making him look like the cool guy, the hero. 

   I am a prophetic artist, and will share what I feel for the likes of the community needs and deserve to listen to. Be patient though. When sand gets wet, it gets stressed outYou'll find out more about it soon, and hope that your scales fall off. (Acts 9:18)

   So onward to victory we face the gIants day by day.
