Prince of Peace Inspiration

Late last night, as I was shutting down my computer a link title caught my eye; Child Prodigy Paints Visions from God, the decision to click that link and watch the story of Akiane Kramarik painting the Prince of Peace has shocked me with the best inspiration of a lifetime.

Akiane Kramarik was divinely guided to paint the face of Jesus, first she had to learn how to paint. God promised that he would teach her. A few years later, in 40 hours she painted the masterpiece “Prince of Peace” at the age of 8, having had the visions from age 4.

“Prince of Peace”
by Akiane Kramarik

Perhaps I wanted to catch it
perhaps not

But one morning
an eagle dropped a diamond

And right then
with my faulty brush
full of my own hair
I wanted to paint

I wanted to paint the wings-
Too late – they flew away
I wanted to paint a flower
Too late – it withered

That night the rain
was running after me
Each drop of rain
showed God’s face
His face was everywhere
On homes and on me

I wrung out the love
to make the red

I wrung out the stumps
to make the brown

I wrung out the trust
to make the pink

I wrung out my own eyes
to make the blue

I wrung out the seaweed
to make the green

I wrung out the nightly pain
to make the black

I wrung out my grandmother’s hair
to make the gray

I wrung out my visions
to make the violet

I wrung out the truth
to make the white

Today I want to paint God’s face
IT’S NOT TOO LATE !

Isaiah 9:6 KJV

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
