This is the last drawing. With it belongs a story: Covid-19, about Co and Mr. Cross.
Ms. Dis-Infect-Ant is in the story too. That's me.

God made a Plan for each of us.
God has given me a whole new plan for the future. After it all went wrong first. He lets me know things in many ways. One is through the drawings. I don't know what I'm going to make beforehand. I put on some lines and usually don't see yet what it is. God lets me know the content through Bible verses and in many other ways. After that I can make the drawing.
Below are the drawings about the Plan in the order in which they were made.
And the newest drawing is always above.
How to find your personal Plan...
And a highway will be there;
it will be called the Way of Holiness.
The unclean will not journey on it;
it will be for those who walk in that Way;
wicked fools will not go about on it.
No lion will be there,
nor will any ferocious beast get up on it;
they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed will walk there
(Isaiah 35: 8-9)
How do you get on this road and how do you find your personal Plan?Just ask the Lord for it ...
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
(Psalm 139:23-24)
This is God's Plan for us. I am sure...
I will make peace your governor
and righteousness your ruler.
No longer will violence be heard in your land,
nor ruin or destruction within your borders,
but you will call your walls Salvation and your gates Fame.
The sun will no more be your light by day,
nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you,
for the LORD will be your everlasting light,
and your God will be your glory.
(Isaiah 60: 17-19)
I believe in visions and the dreams
The next song fits good with the drawing. “I believe the promise about the visions and the dreams.”
You can hear it if you click the red tekst
“And afterwards,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions.”
(Joel 2:28)
But it is not God's intention for us to evoke visions and the like.
They come naturally. And if you don't get visions or dreams from God, your gift is probably elsewhere.
There are many other gifts of the Spirit.
To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom,
to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,
to another faith by the same Spirit,
to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy,
to another distinguishing between spirits,
to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,
and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. (Corinthians 12:8-10 and 28)
In the deep
Something bad is happening, but something very good
is coming from it. Sometimes we have to go through the depths to understand something
that is very important in life …
The lyrics of the song “Ocean” are also about that.
And there I find You in the mystery
in Oceans deep, my faith will stand
And I will call upon Your name,
and keep my eyes above the waves…
A Sign
On February 1, 2017, I sang the song “With all my soul”. In my own way, very quietly.
Suddenly I was somewhere else! A vision. You can see some of it on the drawing.
There are also symbols there. A white heart, connected with a cross, is a sign of God's love.
And maybe you also see living water there, God's blessing, which flows through us from the source ...
That's what this drawing is about.
A Cord of three strands: We, together with the Lion of Judah! That will be solid!
Jesus is sometimes called the lion of Judah.
Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah,
the Root of David, has triumphed.
(Revelations 5:5)
Today's times are difficult for many people, but a true follower of Jesus can be recognized.They are both soft and strong. After all, we can do anything with Jesus! In the book Mischa
it says as follows:
The remnant of Jacob will be
in the midst of many peoples
like dew from the LORD,
like showers on the grass,
which do not wait for anyone
or depend on man.
The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,
in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,
like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which mauls and mangles as it goes,
and no one can rescue.
Your hand will be lifted up in triumph over your enemies,
and all your foes will be destroyed.
(Micha 5: 7-9) As followers of Jesus, we are strong together. But a true Christian marriage is also
a hugely strong union. Jesus tells about this in the Gospel of Matthew:
“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male
and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother
and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together,
let no one separate.”
(Matthew 19:4-6)
In the book Ecclesiastes we see:
Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
(Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12)
Living Water
One day Jesus was resting at the Jacob's Well near the Samaritan city of Sychar. There he
met a Samaritan woman who came to draw water. He asked her for a drink and so they got into
a conversation. Jesus spoke of living water.
“… but whoever drinks the water I give them
will never thirst.
Indeed, the water I give them will become in them
a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
(John 4:14)
Living water is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Living water is the first experience after
our conversion. The first experience with God, with the Holy Spirit, is like a seal on you
heart. You know: God lives in me!
The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty
and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
“I have no husband,” she replied.
Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband.
The fact is,
you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband.
What you have
just said is quite true.”
“Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. Our ancestors
worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in
Jerusalem.”
“Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming
when you will worship the Father neither
on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans
worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
Yet a time is coming and has now come when
the true worshipers will worship the Father
in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit
and in truth.”
(John 4:15-24)
By the living water that Jesus gave her she got the need to testify of Jesus and she
immediately set to work. Many Samaritans then believed through her testimonies.
I do feel related to this woman because of the mistakes I made in my past. I also confessed guilt to Jesus. Now I also know how great your wish is to testify of Jesus, if you have been set free. In this drawing, do we see the Samaritan woman there? In any case, the woman here is not afraid. She dares to be vulnerable. She opens a way to the light and thus passes on the living water.
The whole story of the Samaritan women can be found in John 4:1-42.
Nehemia 1:9
The following three drawings belong together. Before I started sketching, I said, “God I'm so curious what story you are going to tell now!” Usually it takes a few days before I see what the lines mean. Not now. I immediately saw that it was Nehemiah 1: 9, which I had recently read! There God said to Moses:
“but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people
are at the farthest
horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place
I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.”
1.
“... but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even
if your exiled people
are at the farthest horizon,
I will gather them ... ”
The cross here is a sign of being close to Jesus. This is about two persons who came to Jesus separately and later got into trouble. You can see that in the red on the crosses.
But the red also means: under the blood of Jesus, you are safe in the light of God. People are banished here, but their spirit, the two birds at the top, are free, through Jesus.
2.
“I will gather them from there and bring them ...”
The woman has already been brought near the blue circle by God and she is waiting. She looks forward to the man in the distance. In spirit they are sometimes already together (in dreams and visions). God will gather them in the blue circle. When they are in the blue circle a special moment will come. They will decide to continue their life together and with God.
3.
“ ... bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.”
Blue is the color of the Holy Spirit here. You see a blue bird.The man and woman are brought together in the blue circle. Then the Lord makes it true, in everyday life. Their home will be here.
They allow themselves,
to be guided by God, to go to that place, which he has chosen for his Name to live in. With the fire the Holy Spirit they arrive at that place.
God frees the place and purifies it with fire.
What God has said before comes true.
THE PLACE WILL BE FOR THE SALVATION OF MANY ...
Drawing 1: Hope
An anchor is a symbol of hope. His anchor is broken ... Life is very difficult sometimes,
so you almost lose hope of a good future. Fortunately, we can hold on to God. He says,
“You are my beloved child.” God will give us a hopeful future.
Drawing 2: Faith
But about that future, we have to do something ourselves. God wants us to show him, that we
want to work on it. He will explain how we can do that. Maybe it is it's important to go somewhere. Or it may be that God wants us to speak to someone. You can see that in this drawing. You may also need to address yourself. For example, if you often think badly and speak badly about yourself ... That is also called cursing yourself. Then you get in the way of God's plan.
I had such things, but I was not aware of them. That is quite difficult to unlearn. But we don't have to be able to do that ourselves. God always helps!
With our tongue we write on the pages of our hearts and in the hearts of people us. Words in the form of (self) curses may be revoked and invalidated in the Name of Jesus. That is why you also see a cross and blood in this drawing. Any curse, which is on the pages of our heart is washed away by Jesus. Erased by the blood of the Lord Jesus! Then we can say for ourselves, like the writer of Psalm 45:
My heart is stirred by a noble theme
as I recite my verses for the king;
my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
(Psalm 45: 1 )
Drawing 3: LoveWhen our hearts are washed clean, there is a lot of love in it.
You see a heart on this drawing. And also a baby. This baby is important in God's plan for our future. I look forward to to this future.
Close to God
She finds great joy in the Lord. He released her. She now has hope for a good future
with her best friend. They are based on the rock. That's Jesus. God has a beautiful plan
for them. You can ask him anything, so she prayed for a baby. But what does her friend
think about this and what does God say about it? There were dreams and visions ...
Jesus said:
Therefore I tell you,
whatever you ask for in prayer,
believe that you have received it,
and it will be yours.
(Mark 11:24)
This song fits with the drawing. “In Your Presence.”
Near the target
For Mark
This is my first drawing in 2020.
The house you see here is important in God's Plan for us.
God said on 2/18/19:
THE PLACE WILL BE FOR THE SALVATION OF MANY
Agenda
Do you have a full agenda? Is your time with God planned? Maybe you will say:
“Yes, that is perfectly fine! I will do that first thing in the morning.”
That is beautiful.
But are you open to it through the day if God wants to say something to you? You don't hear
it when you always have music on ...
