Deliverance:

By: Brian Dominguez

Feeling as if I'm drowning
But there is no water surrounding
On my knees, on the ground I keep pounding
Can anyone hear me!? I feel my soul shouting

Feeling claustrophobic but there is nothing crowding me?!
Physically everything is going perfectly, so what's happening?!
So peaceful on the outside but inside something's bombing me
It's like I'm tied down and bound, who can set me free?

I can't touch it, it's something I can't even see
How can I fight an invisible enemy?
my strength is failing, I'm down on my knees
Can't win this mortal combat, just hurry up and finish me!

Then the deja vu hits me, I've bee

Being a Christian Boring? Who ever thought being a Christian is boring never really was one. You are being constantly challenged to grow. To grow you have to trust. Trust God. Trust our Lord Jesus. Allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life. You need to submit. Submit to God. That's what most people don't want to do. Original sin; like Satan, wants to be God. To have your will done instead of God's Will. That the whole thing. "Thy will be done, Thy kingdom come. On earth as it is in heaven."

People think that married Christians are boring? You know your relationship is for eternity. Not that you still will be husband and wife:

Matthew 22:30
For when the

:Worship:

Do you see it?
In the face of a worshiper as she sings out
Eyes closed, reaching up to the One she loves.
The light that shines when she remembers what He has done.
I know how it feels.
A fire rising up in your very being,
Such joy and passion for God fills you up,
Builds tension in your chest,
Like a bird fluttering to be free from a cage,
The praise escapes and leaves,
And then you are lost.
Lost in the wings that protect,
A fortress that surrounds,
A love so complete,
And you aren't aware of singing anymore,
Or anyone who is around.
Your entire being caught up
In this perfect love.
And then you open your eyes,
But don't

Jesus Is Victorby ~dorkinabubble

Traditional Art / Mixed Media / People

This. Was. A. Doozie

The C. F. Payne technique starts off with a base layer of graphite. Seal that with Workable Fixitive, then put a watered down base layer of acrylic over the graphite. This should be the lightest color for the highlights. Over this goes another layer of fixitive and then a layer of watercolor. Once that's dry, the watercolor is removed from the highlighted places. The watercolors are now the midtones. After that, a layer of purple/green oils is painted over the entire thing. It looks like you just killed it. After that dries, using a kneaded eraser, the highlights and midtones are again pulled out. Fix that again, and over that goes more acrylics to brighten the colors and colored pencils. Then pop it into Photoshop, brighten everything and make it glow, and...that's it.

This is Corrie ten Boom, author of The Hiding Place. I'll add more of a description later, promise!

work made free? (what says in German)

~dorkinabubble Nov 30, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Yes, I'll put up an explaination later as to the exact meaning of everything, but it's to Juxtapose her belief that, "Jesus is Victor," versus the sign over the concentration camp that she entered, which said, "Work makes you free," something to that extent. Jesus is freedom, not work, which is why He is pictured beyond the gate.

~Bushitaka Jan 26, 2013

I dont get it; what has the concentration camp auschwitch to do with jesus?

~dorkinabubble Jan 26, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

And this is why I need to update the artist's info! XD Sorry for the confusion. The lady pictured here is Corrie ten Boom. See wikipedia here for more info: [link]

As to the significance, I wanted to contrast the words "Work Makes Freedom," written over every gate of every concentration camp, with Corrie ten Boom's motto "Jesus is Victor." She says that even in the darkest hell, there is light. Hence my choice in showing her with the open Bible (I actually just copied a photo of her in that position with a book on her lap), adding the gate with her on one side and the cross on the other. It's mostly just symbolism which I thought pertinent to her story

Sorry for no explanation before; I'm a scatterbrained college student XD

~Bushitaka Jan 27, 2013

Ok, i understand your intentions now.. However i would like to point out the detail that caused the confusion; corrie stayed in ravensbruck; one of the camps that did not feature the 'work deliberates' sign over the gate. .

~dorkinabubble Jan 27, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Really? Hmm. The movie must've confused me. I read the book this summer, and it was then borrowed by my mother's co-worker (so I won't see it for a while). Well, thanks for pointing out the authenticity deviation! There's nothing much I can do about it at this point, but I do like the symbolism, despite it not being totally accurate
