Artist Statement:
This painting was a prophetic painting performed live during a Pentecostal Service at All Nations Worship Assembly on Sunday, May 19th. My spiritual leader, Dr. Matthew Stevenson has taught messages on using your praise to bring in the Presence of the Lord to give you power and favor to heal, bind, release, and move. David is an example of someone who understood the power of potent praise, and his life was blessed because of it. This painting is based on 2 Samuel 22:1-24 which provides a vivid description of how the Lord supernaturally descended from heaven and rescued David out of the hands of his enemies.
Because of David’s humility and passion for worshiping God, the Lord remained with him. Some examples are God delivering him from Goliath, from Saul, from backsliding, from his enemies in Israel, from Absalom, and from his own sinful passions. Like any one of us, David was not a perfect person. He made mistakes, yet he was a righteous man and had the shield of God over his life because of his righteousness.
My hope is that this painting exemplifies how David was rescued by our passionate and loving father, and that its message will encourage other people to depend on God to deliver them from any difficult or tormenting situation.
