For prophetic artist, Latimer Ramsey, painting is more than just your average hobby, because when it comes time to add color to canvas, Ramsey says she knows it isn't just her holding the brush.
"I paint out of the relationship I have with Jesus," she explains, "and that is what prophetic artist do. We spend time in relationship with God's Word, searching out the things of God."
Often times, Ramsey is led so fully by the Prophetic, that she is unaware of what her painting will look like before she starts.
"The way the Holy Spirit has led me, is that to begin with I had no idea what I would be drawing."
Ramsey works with the Holy Spirit, painting images she says God presses upon her heart, until at last a final image begins to take shape. And once the final product becomes clear so does the message behind the painting.
One of Ramsey's more well known pieces, "The Lion of Judah" holds a special place in her heart.
"I am always captivated by His eyes," she explains, "He is mighty and He is gentle, He is fierce and He is tender."
For Ramsey, her paintings are a visual representation of a God who loves his creation.
"He takes great delight in all of us. He is not a God of judgement, He is a God of absolute love and delight and fun!"
For the future, Ramsey says God has given her a vision to take her famous painting, "The Lion of Judah" around the globe.
"For everyone to know how dearly they're loved is the exciting part about that," she explains. "We have started a project, called project 7 billion to reach an entire world."
Ramsey hopes her paintings will spread the message of God's love to the far corners of the world, an impressive undertaking, but one she says is possible only with God's help.
