Kissed By Love
Testimony...
As I painted this, the Holy Spirit was on me in a great way...it was an intense time of worship with Him.
I painted this to remember a dream I had not too long ago.
In the dream I saw a man under a white prayer cloth/blanket/tallit. Then, the next thing I knew...I was I under there with him. I remember looking at the side of his face.
I remembered that the cloth was thick, and soft, not like the prayer shawls you see today.
Then, the Lord was standing in front of us, He put one hand on my side and one on the man's side. Then He smoothed out the wrinkles in the cloth, rubbing down. When He did that, we fused together and our bodies became one physically. I woke up right then, had the thought. "Wow...I AM getting married, and it will be easy, because God is going to do it. " Then I went back to sleep.
When I thought about it later, I realized it was like this man was seeking God for me, and it was our prayers that would bring us together.
I was curious if this was something that people have really done, gotten married like this. I knew about the chuppah, a canopy that the couple will get married under, but I was very surprised to find paintings of Jewish weddings from centuries ago where they did marry like this.
Seems it was a tradition that some still follow today. God is so cool the way He speaks to us and then confirms it!!!
I was thinking about how the tallit in my dream was really thick...like a blanket. I knew the ones that are around today are really light...so I wondered if it was that way in the past. When I went and looked...turns out they were. They were woven, and a lot like a blanket, even used to cover themselves when they slept. I remembered one of the first times I got to touch Jesus. I felt His outer garment, and it was thick and soft like that too. Almost a 1/2 inch thick...and that is how this cloth was over us too!
I have been waiting a long time for a husband, and have been starting to lose hope. Even had 2 sister's tell me very recently that they did not see me ever getting married, but now that God spoke to me in the dream, I have such a peace about it.

This song below was in my heart as I was painting.

This song below was in my heart as I was painting.
Jesus is coming back for His Bride...
Revelation 2:17: "And the spirit and the bride say Come! And let him who hears say,
Come! And let him who thirsts, Come; and whoever desires, let him take the water of life
freely."
Revelation 22:20: "'Surely I am coming quickly.' Even so, Come Lord Jesus, Come!"
