Branch - Refining Fire
I have been praying diligently for our country since 2016, like so many others. I have been especially concerned, praying tearfully, over the chaos and the current chosen pathways which are not in alignment with God’s desire for His people. I heard in my spirit that I should read the Book of Jeremiah, so I did just that. As I did, I saw the sword of the spirit, the refiner’s fire from I Peter 4:12-14 and “The Branch” from Jeremiah 23. “The Lord Our Righteousness. While painting the Branch I knew it had to have 5 smaller branches. Then the picture became more clear in my spirit with the arm of Christ stretched tightly from hanging on the cross with the bloody nail hole in His hand. The wine spilling out of a broken vessel, is symbolic of Christ’s blood poured out for many. To God be the Glory.
