"Northern Lighthouse in Need of Restoration"

Painting Recreated by Dave Van Wormer of a photograph of a lighthouse that had its light broken and blown off by a storm. 
This lighthouse is in the process of being repaired, the painting by
David represents the need of the restoration of the light of Jesus Christ within the Church today.

 Many Christians and churches are cold and broken wastelands in need of the fragrance of the Rose of Sharon, Jesus Christ.

In our mission of restoring the light to the lighthouse, we are releasing the life and fragrance of the Lord through prayer, praise and His
Word.  It is our intent to light our own lighthouse of love inside our very own darkened and broken souls that we might shine like glorious lighthouses in the darkness.

We desire that all see the light and find safe haven, rest and rescue from the broken hearts and lives that come from shipwreck through stormy seas.  Jesus is the Light, the
Way and the Truth to eternal life and entrance into the heavenly celestial seas of here and now and hereafter.

Our Mission is Restoration of the Light!

"I am the Rose of Sharon, the lily of the valley, the bright and morning star"

Song of Solomon 2:1, Revelations 22:16

 May God Bless your journey with His Peace that passes all understanding.  Along the way we may encounter some severe turbulence.  Do not fear, reach out to our Guide and Guardian, the Lord of Love, Jesus Christ.  In the deepest, darkest hour, as we keep our eyes focused on the light, Jesus  fills His Children with  peace, love and strength.   His Comfort embraces and soothes as we continue to praise the Lord and thank Him in the midst of every circumstance. 

 

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

Pathway to Paradise Mountain

Original Painting by Rose WindAngel, copyrighted RoseWindansea.com

Our destination is Paradise Mountain.  We are going to the breathtaking mountains of holiness. On Angel's wings we will dance on the winds of the spirit and the seas of living water  to the Everlasting City of Light and Life, the New Jerusalem on Mt Zion.   We  will sail into the light at the center of heaven's galactic portal.  Our passport states our name has been written in the Book of Life.

"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." 

 Isaiah 40:31

Our Lord Christ Jesus, the King of Kings, the Prince of Peace rules the wind, land and sea and all that dwells within the heavens and the earth.  He is Lord and Master of the universe.  We must keep our thoughts focused on the Lord of Peace in every situation, trusting that He will overcome, transforming our lives into glorious victory from defeat,  loneliness and despair.  He can turn the darkest clouds into showers of blessing. 

 

Restoration of the Lighthouse

Original Painting and Design by Rose

Our mission on this journey is to restore the light to a lighthouse on a deserted northern island.  The once glorious lighthouse lies in ruins in a frozen wasteland and is in dire need of restoration.  The lighthouse does not send out a light, it is broken, overgrown with weeds and brambles.  The island lighthouse once was the most glorious in all the world.  It's light shone across the waters warning seafaring travelers of danger from rock and ice.  Our dream is to restore the light and rebuild the lighthouse, so that it will once again send forth the light and save weary travelers from shipwreck.  On the journey we will restore the island lighthouse  back to the beautiful  oasis garden of light that it was before it fell into disrepair and was covered up by stormy seas, sand and ice, hidden and lost from view ages ago.  Once the light is restored, the beam will guide us on our voyage to paradise.

On this journey we must learn to lay aside our differences and love our brothers and sisters.  We must reach out to the Lord and  each other in love and help heal the wounded hearts.  We must shine like lights for Jesus to help restore the lighthouse.

"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.  He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." (1 John 4:7-8)

"Love is patient and is kind; love does not envy; loves does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  Love never fails."  (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

Our Heavenly Father loves  every nation, we are all His created children, we are brothers and sisters.  God desires that every person enter this journey to paradise.  We have all sinned and walked in darkness.

 Everyone has missed the channel marker and sailed uncharted, forbidden seas. (Romans 3:23)  When we choose the wrong path, we sail in darkness as  deceived lost children.  Jesus, the Master Navigator loves His ship's crew and passengers and desires to forgive our mistakes and get us back on the right course.

((John 3:16) "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Jesus died in our place on the cross, He took the punishment for the sins of the world upon Himself, so that we could be forgiven and reconciled to God.  

 

"No Greater Love"

Along this voyage to Paradise sometimes we stumble and fall and get off course.  Jesus continues to loves us, no matter what we have done, He grieves when we do evil and dances with joy with the angels when we correct our mistakes.  When we fall down, we must get up and try again with God's help to sail towards the right path.  We must not turn back to  uncharted, forbidden waters.

"Clinging to the Cross"

 Painting copyrighted by Danny Hahlbolm, All rights reserved by the artist!  www.markscollection.com

Shipwrecked and saved from perishing by the Cross of Christ

  When we receive Christ as our Savior, He rescues our perishing  soul at sea and  we are born again into the family of God; we become children of light and fellowship again at the Captain's table.  Jesus  becomes the Captain of our ship and the  Navigator of our lives granting us passage into  His Eternal Kingdom.  If we rebel and choose to sail our own course, we will continue to perish in darkness and lose our place at the Captain's Table forever.  We will become the  children of darkness doomed to shipwreck for eternity.

Painting by Danny Hahlbohm, www.inspired-art.com

Jesus is the Captain of the Ship and Lord of the Sea!

 

 Our Heavenly Father became a man and died on a cross to save His Children.  He is a sacrificial lamb and shed His Blood for the remission of the sins of the world.  Jesus loves  His Children,   He  forgives and sets His Children free from sin.    God loves the person, but the sin of His Children breaks His Heart.    Our Heavenly Father continues to love us no matter what we do.  He wants to heal us, and turn our lives around so that we can become children of light.  God expects us to give the ship's wheel to Him and grant Him the navigational controls of our lives.  We must allow Jesus to be Lord of our lives, asking Him to direct the sails that guide us on our adventure to Paradise.   We must trust Him to be our compass on the journey.

Rebellion against God's direction dooms the children of darkness to a stormy whirlwind catastrophe that leads to eternal judgment,  suffering  shipwreck and death in a black abyss. There comes a point when God  no longer allows evil to continue, and judgment will come.  He cannot allow sin to go on forever. "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)

 

Our Heavenly Father is a God of love and forgiveness, but He is also a God of judgment and righteousness.  The Lord  takes action to stop the sin, as a loving parent He corrects His children.  It doesn't matter if you are a thief, drug addict, or an alcoholic, Jesus will forgive what you have done, if you ask His forgiveness and turn from your evil ways.  He can heal you from your addictions, evil delusions, sexual perversions and set you free to be full of the glorious light and love of our one and only true living God, the Lord of Heaven and Earth.  He fills our every void with His light and healing love.  God forgives our sin when we turn from evil and come to Him.  You will no longer walk in darkness, but will soar into the light as His beloved forgiven child. 

 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 9)   Jesus can change the course of every situation and bring good from evil. "We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28) There is hope in Jesus Christ.   Jesus is the Anchor and He is the Rock of Ages.

Come to Jesus now, He loves you, He died for your sins, confess your sins to the Lord and receive Christ into your life as your Lord and Savior.  He knows the prayer of your heart.  Pray with me now, "Lord Jesus, I have sinned and made mistakes, forgive my sins, wash me clean, white as snow, make me a new person inside, fill me with your Spirit.  I want to be your forgiven child.  I accept your sacrifice on the cross for my sins, receive me now into your kingdom family.  Thank you, Father for saving my life from sin and giving me new life in your spirit.  Help me walk each day with your guidance.  From this day forth I am washed from sin, cleansed by Your Blood, filled with your spirit, born again, raised from the walking dead to dance a new life of love, peace and joy in your spirit.  Thank you Jesus for saving my life, I have been born again in the spirit, in Jesus name, and I give you control of my life, you now have the throne of my life, you are the captain of my ship, in Jesus name I pray, amen and amen."  Jesus and the angels in heaven rejoice over your decision.  Welcome to the family of God!  Ask Jesus to direct your life and lead you in His will for your life.  He has a wonderful plan for your life.

This journey to paradise has been written in an allegorical format in an attempt to describe the glorious adventure of the Christian along the path to Everlasting Life and to spread the good news that Jesus is coming soon and we need to be ready.  There is a sanctuary from the turmoil in the present life in Jesus Christ. that brings hope, peace and salvation.  An allegory is the representation of abstract ideas or principles by characters, figures, or events in narrative, dramatic, or pictorial presentations.  This type of portrayal has been used by Christian authors in works such as "Pilgrims Progress" by John Bunyan and "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" by C. S. Lewis, and more recently in music videos as "The Great Adventure" by Steven Curtis Chapman. 

The celestial sea is a representation of the heavenly seas that we sail upon in everlasting life and also the need for spreading God's fragrant love in the here and now to restore the light in the life of every Christian and every church.  The light is dimly lit in many Christians and has gone out in many churches, they are country club type atmospheres and no longer proclaim the good news of salvation.  The intent of this allegory is to show the need to restore and repair the light in the hearts of every Christian and in the church today.  So many live desolate lives as displayed in the wasteland in the first painting above by David Van Wormer.  Jesus will light your life and send forth a fragrance of love, you will be like a well watered garden oasis and lighthouse on a rocky coast sending out a signal of direction and comfort in this lost and weary world that has so many wastelands today.  Jesus is coming again to take His Children to a new earth and heaven.  Start the journey to Paradise today with Jesus.  We are headed for Mt. Zion the New Jerusalem, a city where Jesus is the light on the top of the mountain.
