over the past two years I have lost my life in scripture I’ve always been a believer but I never really
Knew anything about what it says in the Bible. I’ve been praying a lot for understanding and spent
basically thousands of hours i don’t understand why but I became consumed by learning what’s there.

From Psalm 42

James 4:8 + Psalm 34:18

Promises of God

A few of God's Love Psalms


I have a number of panels from Psalms... some of them are older which you can tell by them
being all purple :unsure::giggle:;) It was Psalm 42 which came to mind for me now from your post.


I will share a couple more with you shortly, accompanied by the outstanding musical talents of a member whom I have not seen online for a while; her voice and music are just so excellent! It is the music I wish to recommend to you especially, as she has rendered a number of Psalms into inspiring harmonious compositions strongly reminiscent of Medieval plainsong refrains which I hope you enjoy listening to as much as I have :D

wow those designs are really pretty , I like the Pegasus that’s neat and the dove and eagle also that’s cool how do you make those and come up with the designs ?

yes I love when lyrics and music are full of scripture God has gifted a lot of various people in the world to shine a bit of light in many beneficial ways some subtle and others awesome but none less important or anointed than the next

I love the design of the church in scripture it’s sad because it doesn’t seem to be flourishing in the world anymore it seems most of us are at each other’s necks over the smallest matters but the design of Jesus Christ was for us to draw near toOne another because of the world full of enemies of Christ and the truth

what if the world had believed the gospel all together ? And accepted the word of Jesus Christ what a glorious family we would have and what pleasure our brotherly love would bring to the Father of spirits when he saw his children bearing one another’s burdens as some of you have done with me and for me in this post

that’s the church of only a small
And subtle matter in appearance the impact in my heart isn’t subtle it’s because of the effectual love and concern for others like is on display in many of your words to me , I can feel the Christian love in this thread and I think it’s wonderful I am , inspired

loved it and thank you for taking the time brother it’s really needed and reading and contemplating some of the things some of you have taken time to share is really helping lift me up along with the prayer.
It is only what brethren should be doing for each other. Beats arguing about COVID!

Good evening PH :) And thank you :D Heh, many of my earlier designs has some type of equine in them, whether horse, Pegasus, or unicorn, but my style has changed over the few years I have been doing these digital collages, and I have moved away from that. I could get very detailed in telling you how I do it but that might bore you LOL :geek: Hoping not to bore you: my process is very spontaneous, though hours of searching out the individual pieces is involved in the collecting of them, of which I have over 10,000 by now, and I have a strong foundation for the work, being artistically oriented my entire life. Once I find the elements, such as flowers, butterflies, borders, frames, backgrounds, special effect, stars, clouds, horse, dove, eagle, dress, wings, human elements such as arms, eyes, faces, torsos etc, I save it to my computer in one of multiple folders from which I randomly select what I think might look good in whatever panel I am working on. Once I have selected and sized it and positioned it on the panel, I usually make a number of many other edits to each individual piece such as color correction, brightness, hue, saturation, contrast, as I attempt to bring each element into balance with the others. There are times I might spend half an hour or more working with an element only to eventually delete it and start over with a new element. It is not unusual for me to try several border and frame elements before I settle on the one that satisfies, and the same goes for many other of the element categories.

Constructing figures takes the most time, as I try many different faces and hair styles and dresses and do a lot of work blending the skin tones from the various elements that went into the making of any one figure. There comes a point in each design where I just have to say it is enough and stop working on it, because even looking at some of those older ones I posted to you, I can see things now I could go back and alter slightly, like change the font to make it easier to read, and maybe move it down a little, and resize the dove to be a tad smaller. I can be very persnickety with them to the point of feeling it is imperative to make an adjustment of moving something one pixel this way or that :oops::rolleyes::giggle:

Well, we were all born enemies to God and hostile in our minds toward Him. I did not become a Christian until I was almost fifty years old! I feel very fortunate to have found a wonderful Bible teaching church populated with lovely, loving people. In the early years I was going to multiple services and events at different churches every Sunday, but finally settled in to the church I still attend after more than a dozen years. I hope you have been able to find such a family where you live. I think it makes such a big difference, and I am so grateful to have been so blessed. I am grateful too for your kind words to me; it is always an honor and privilege to be able to help someone :love:


I missed church this Sunday and a member I hardly know called me this evening to check in with me. We had a lovely conversation and I shared my testimony with him, and then he asked for a specific verse on a panel, which I had designed recently, inspired by a conversation between two other members here. He said it was his favorite verse because in it, God declares the we belong to Him.


from Isaiah 43:1-3

Here is another example of a scenic type panel showing how improvements were made
through various edits and additions... choosing the font is often quite time consuming
also because I want to make sure it is legible, not blocking the elements I want to be
clearly seen, and also spaced properly with logical line breaks. I did also try making them
with moving elements, but found them to be too much of a distraction from the verses.
I used the same waterfall element in both of these panels as on the Psalm 42 panel :D

God does convict us to bring us closer to him. But you are to ask for forgiveness and if you have not then do so. If you have then your next job is to except the forgiveness. Our Heavenly Father sent his son Jesus to die for us. He was the only one strong enough to bare the weight of all of our sins. He died so that we can we can be forgiven and not live under that condemnation. God says that he forgives us and remembers our sins no more. That means that what you are feeling is an attack from evil spirits. The devil knows what has worked in us in the past and he will continue to try. As long as you are feeling condemnation you aren't moving forward in Jesus. He tries to stop people from fulfilling their purpose. You can bind these spirits. And you should start to do so the second you realize you are thinking things or craving things that are not Godly. Resist the devil on his onset. When you rebuke demons and bind spirits when you first feel them they don't take a hold of you. Heavenly Father I ask that you bind the Spirit of condemnation and the spirit of imaginations and self loathing, bind the Spirit of unforgivness, bind the spirit of pride, bind the spirit of oppression and depression, give us a spirit of forgiveness and courage, give us a spirit of peace and comfort. Send your Holy angels to do battle for us, heal our hearts minds bodies, souls and spirits while we sleep. We thank you Father for these blessings and receive them all in the mighty name of Jesus the Christ Amen. You need to think about the fact that you have the Holy Spirit inside of you and you are more than a conqueror because of it. Kick the devil in the teeth! Pray like a warrior. God did not give us a spirit of fear or of cowardice. You are housing the most powerful Spirit in the universe. God almighty said the battle is already won. I have been in that place, you do not have to stay there. God will never leave you nor forsake you.
