WRESTLING WITH THE SPIRIT


18" x 5 feet  

This was done on a piece weathered cypress
found in the Atchafalaya basin
by an old Cajun man with piercing blue eyes.

He is one of the most imaginative people
I've ever encountered.

He gave me this huge piece of cypress
and one night 
while trying to interpret its New life,
I saw
an image of a giant beast
with beady eyes and flared nostrils
who was wrestling against an angelic heavenly helper.


Grabbing some white paint...
the boy-like figure was quickly drawn
to take on the spiritual beast 
that sneaks onto this worn and wooden canvas.

It is a call for all of us...

God's children..

to call on Him through prayer
so His unseen spiritual beings
can fight on our behalf  and 
our battles can be won.

Then... 
what tends to come with most of these art pieces...

The Words....

words that interpret the art...

I love it when the words flow out!!!
It is like discovering a hidden treasure of a long ago king!

Who Is He?
He is His
and 
He is yours.
He was created for you
to fight for you.
You can not see Him.
He awaits for the trumpet to blow
according to His Father's will
and your words.
He fights your battles
in the Spirit world.
It is up to you
to release him with your words
and claim victory in the battle of good and evil.
He is yours 
and 
He is His.

FOR WE DO NOT WRESTLE
AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD,
BUT AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES,
AGAINST POWERS,
AGAINST THE RULERS OF THE DARKNESS
OF THIS AGE,
AGAINST SPIRITUAL HOSTS OF WICKEDNESS
IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES.
THEREFORE TAKE UP THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD,
THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND IN THE EVIL DAY, 
AND HAVING DONE ALL, 
TO STAND

Ephesians 
6:12-13
