This set is not for sale. It was created for my mother, Margaret, and has very personal meanings to her. There were some supernatural phenomena involved in her recovery from ovarian cancer.
The wall - My dad was walking around the church, looks at the stone wall and thinks, "This is just like the cancer - it's huge." And the Spirit speaks to him, and says: "Don't look at the wall, look up at me." And he looks up, and observes the vastness of the sky, and remembers how much bigger God is than all our problems in this world. He tells us about the experience. Then, for whatever reason, we visited Lakewood that week. Joel Osteen said in his sermon: "When you get to a wall, don't look at the wall - look up at Jesus." Coincidence?
The Eagle painting is based on a song that Mom really liked, with the verse "When the oceans rise, and thunders roar/I will soar with you above the storm/Father you are king over the flood/I will be still, know You are God". Here I have Mom being carried out of a storm by an eagle, which is a common symbol for prayer and intercession.
Book of Psalms: "The son of righteousness will come with healing in his wings; And you will be as a calf skipping from its stall" - word spoken over Mom by prophets in Kansas City, who revealed a great many things, that she would be healed gradually through conventional means, not a miracle, that the path would be like a rollercoaster, with loads of positive and negative surprises, etc. All the statements have proven increasingly accurate over time. The verse spoken, and its comparison between Mom and a calf, is interesting in several ways beyond its obvious meaning - "Skip" was Mom's nickname (the person hadn't known this about her), and like Mom was at that time, veal calves are severely anemic.
These guys also were accurate about the shape of the tumor - describing it as a
mushroom-shaped tumor... which was confirmed during surgery.
An image Scott recieved while on the flight to Kansas City of an angel performing surgery on Mom, with a voice speaking the following Scripture: "My word is sharper than any two-edged sword, dividing bone and marrow." (Scripture paraphrased)
I've now had not one but TWO people contact her as a result of this page, two very worried people, so I think now I should make clear that Margaret went into remission after these paintings were made and remains healthy 5 years later.
