A Major Shift in Prophetic Art by Elder Leslie Marks

The ministry of prophetic art is being raised to a new level in this transitional time in the Church. We have to move from a place of prophetic art to a prophetic/apostolic anointing in our approach to kingdom visual art. We have to shift from a sanctuary artwork mindset, to bring the prophetic word visually that will affect the destiny of nations. Our art is a weapon of mass destruction in this warfare with the enemies of the Cross of Jesus Christ. Just as the new sound that Eloheem has released from heaven is doing great damage to the enemy’s camp, new light, which allows greater vision, is launching an awesome assault as well. As the light brings new revelation and uncovers the works of darkness, Satan’s strategies are unraveled; darkness hates light. Genesis 1:3; and God said “Let there be Light:” and there was light. Sound and light work together to bring chaos into order: Kingdom order.

We need your help!  As you know we own a retail art gallery in Social Circle, GA. We offer original art created by Leslie and fine art prints of some of her work, most of these are of the Christian and/or Prophetic work that she does.

You may not know that we also have a line of 30+ fine art greeting cards. We sell these along with the prints at the conferences that we attend as venders throughout the year. These cards are a source of “gorilla” marketing as when you mail them they often generate an email or call asking for retail outlets where these cards can be purchased.  

This is where I need your help! We have decided to join the Christian Booksellers Association which is a large trade organization supporting the needs of the Christian Book Store industry.

To become a member and therefore have the privilege to display our merchandise at their trade show in July we need to have our products in 10 Christian Retail Stores.

You may have suggested that we contact some of the large chain stores, and we plan to, however, what we need are the small, “mom and pop” stores that do their own purchasing. We will make the contacts and show them our greeting card line and introduce them to our business. All of our prints and cards are of the finest quality and we will treat your referral with the utmost integrity.  

If you know of such a store, even church bookstores, and better yet if you know the person for us to contact please email us with their phone number and address and other contact information. We can contact them and schedule to stop by or send samples so they may become acquainted with our products. 

Thanks for your help and please respond as soon as possible as we only have a few weeks to make this happen.  

My God bless you and your time today!

Bill and Leslie

For the past several years many of you have asked Leslie to have a workshop to help you not only with your technical skills but also to move into a new level with your use of art in your ministry and personal life.

WELL! That time has come! Please go to http://www.lifecenter.org and click on Events and you will find the "Restoring Dance with Passion and Purpose" Conference.

I think that you will find all the information concerning the events of that week on that site, but should you need more info please contact Catherine the events coordinator at Life center.

Remember time is short and space is limited. Come and enjoy Prophetic Art, Dance, and Music and teaching that is not available at this level this side of ..... well Heaven!

Watch for the "Burning Bush" Leslie painted it on Sunday April 23, 2006 in the service with Pastor Hank Kunneman
