Prophetic Art
SWORD COMMUNITY
Our worship to God is not just about singing songs. Rosie Smith is a valued member of the Foundations team. Here she talks briefly about her particular calling.
What is Prophetic art? Is it in the Bible? Did the idea come from God in the first place? “Now, son of man, take a block of clay, put it in front of you and draw the City of Jerusalem on it.” Ezekiel 4.1
“The Child Within” was a sculpture I made from wire and mixed media, where a soft vulnerable child was reaching upwards, crying out inside a huge metal head. The ears and eyes were bound. This sculpture became the vehicle to express my longing for more and would be the start of something so powerful it would change my life. Why could my sculptured head not hear or see? I had to let go of striving. When someone prayed for me I met God powerfully. This man had a picture for me. ‘So God speaks in pictures?’ My art was now dedicated totally to God’s Will, to be used as He saw fit. I could give my art back to the One who gave it me in the first place as my act of worship.
