Mad Skills and Skin-Bags of the Holy Spirit

Artists are prophets.

With a created makeup of talent, sweat-bullets of skill and acting as skin-bags of The Holy Spirit, they can foretell the future. Their paradigm, God-endowed into their solitudinal souls, sees beyond the surface of this world to the reality underneath: 3D versus our 1D. Francis Schaeffer was thinking as an artist when he wrote, "Art is the language of the soul, not the servant of political action committees, right thinking ideologies or trendy editors...The existence of the arts is the most tangible evidence of the existence of the soul.” The artist speaks of the underlying reality of the world...that reality only seen by those tapped into their soul-energy...their Creator. Moreso, filled with the Holy Spirit they have all the wisdom of the ages. They have the wisdom of God which sees beyond our petty 21st century and throughout all time, since before time began and into the future. Artists are called to read clues that the Father sets out for them to read. Clues found in the undercurrent of eternal reality (lying underneath this present reality) are black-n-white arrows to what the future holds. For instance, take the picture of Bezalel when he was given the task of 'creating' the temple. We see he was skilled and ready for the task. And then we see him "filled with the Holy Spirit." Albeit, his creative license was definitely guided by direct, minute-detail Divine intervantion at work in his story, but can't we see the story of Jesus foretold in the makeup of the temple? Isn't the prophecy of Christ's redemption seen manifested in the prophetic, artistic work of Bezalel's temple when temple curtain tears upon Christ's death?
An artist's paradigm, while revolutionary, is controversy-laden for multiple reasons, one being that not all artists are tapped into the Omniscient Holy Spirit. Another reason is that in humaness, sometimes the arrows are read wrong. Finally, perchance they're also controversy-laden because most want to believe that the world is exactly what THEY see and no one else has a better understanding. It would behoove the believer to understand that Divine revelation comes in all sorts of packages...and unless it is conflicting with His Word, it has just as much a chance of being "right" as their own "right" beliefs.


What do YOU think????

**This is not to elevate the artist's ability to hear God better than a non-artist. It only seems harder for a non-artist to have a unique, God-given paradigm as they are not naturally inclined to think outside the confines of what their eyes see in this present reality. I believe it is every believer's responsibility to seek His vision for His Kingdom here "on earth as it is in heaven." Let's jump into our responsibility feet first!
