Art Frequency is a Christian business ministry that seeks to fulfill the Great Commission from Matthew 28:18-20. It seeks artists who are in line with this vision to participate. In order for the Holy Spirit to truly work through us as artists in fulfilling this commission and for hearts to be radically and truly transformed, artists must first be disciples. In Matthew 28:19, it says “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations…” Teach in this verse is ‘matheteuo’ in the Greek, meaning: disciple. Not only teach, but He bids us to make disciples. We must first allow Him to change us.
Let's include these major principles:
---------PRAYER--------
"Your heavenly father will give the Holy Spirit to them that ask of Him" (Luke 11:13)
As we endeavor in art ministry, we are totally dependent on the Holy Spirit. God will inspire us. Every stroke of pencil, every brush of paint inspired by the Holy Spirit can leave an everlasting impression on a soul. The transformation of hearts is the mighty work of the Holy Spirit and this transformation can happen in a powerful way through visual art. What an awesome opportunity to co-labor with God as we are willing.
Let's pray together and for each other as God leads us in art ministry.
--------COMMUNICATING THE MESSAGE--------
This gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all nations, and then the end shall come" (Matthew 24:14)
Jesus makes it very clear that His disciples are to share the gospel; but not just any gospel, the ‘gospel of the Kingdom’.
He demonstrated this through His life example: But He said to them, 'I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for I was sent for this purpose'" (Luke 4:43).
What is the gospel of the Kingdom?
It can be found in Revelation 14:6-12. In verse 6, it talks about the ‘everlasting gospel’ that is to reach every person on the earth.
--------HONESTY--------
Since we are letting the Holy Spirit lead, every moment while we are creating demands honesty.
"Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly." (Hebrews 13:18)
Whether expression is positive or negative, please create with honesty. Not to impress, but to make God smile.
We serve an audience of One. Let’s ask ourselves, “God, are You pleased with me?”
See: Colossians 3:23, Ephesians 5:22, John 12:42-43
--------DILIGENCE-------
"Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men." (Proverbs 22:29)
Art Frequency is a ministry that is for artists who are on fire for God! And for those who would like to enter serious continuation of using their art skills for God. We pray that many artists will be inspired to use their artistic talent for God.
2 Timothy 2:2 says, "And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also."
----------GROWTH----------
Let's strive to grow even closer to Christ as we grow in art ministry. As we strive to be one with the Creator, the natural result is more creativity! He is our source. He wants us to use our gifts effectively so first we need to grow:
1. Spiritually - staying connected to God so that He can work through us.
2. Artistically - Cultivating our talent and developing our sensibilities so that we can innovate for God through art. Our craftsmanship should reflect a work that is done unto the Lord. Read about the parable of talents in Matthew 25:14-30
3. Business-wise - We must learn to 'sell' our work so that more art can be delivered to those who need it. We can share our business tips here.
May God Bless!
