Notes From The Fortress of Solitude

Notes From The Fortress of Solitude

In the world of comic books, Superman had his place to retreat, the Fortress of Solitude. It was located near the North Pole, far away from the world's distraction and hectic pace. It was his secret place. I also have a secret, retreat place. It's a place to meet with a real-life hero, Jesus of Nazareth.

I used to call it "my cave", but it's not a place to escape from life, nor is it a hole in the ground. I don't run to it only when things go bad, or when I get wounded. When I'm there, I'm not in the dark. You see, it's a place filled with light. When I go there the atmosphere of Heaven surrounds me. It's where I find strength, strategies, and revelation. It's my high tower. It's my personal Fortress of Solitude.

A Modern 288


A Modern 288

Much of the secular, modern art movement is focused on shock art, that is, art with a negative pole that drains the viewer's positive pole. The movement of Kingdom artisans, who focus on God's beauty realm, is producing art with a positive pole that fills the viewer's negative pole. The battery is inverted to it's proper position, filling rather than draining.

These prophetic artists are like "the 288" in scripture, that Israel put in the front of the army when going into battle. The 288 were singers, musicians, and dancers, that worshiped God as they marched . While Israel focused on God with worship, God smote the enemy, without Israel directly engaging the enemy (kinda like Martin Luther King's nonviolent protest, or the life movement's protest with red tape over mouths). 

What we do, in this "Army of Artisans", is combat the kingdom of darkness, by focusing on the good of God. God does the rest.

We are enamored and enthralled with beauty. Even when we describe ugly we do so through the eyes of beauty beholders. I have a friend, who is enjoying success as a painter. His trademark paintings are interpretations of rotten fruit. When I see his work, I am deeply moved by his injection of beauty into the ugly. What once was an object to be tossed into the trash becomes immortalized on canvas, moving people to tears.

You see, God don't like ugly. When we, as His focused artisans and musicians, express ourselves, beauty pours out from us. It's all because of Him.
