#LetterFromLondon｜"In the early 90s, my ambitious wife decided to join a team entering the Oxfam Trail Walker. This event had been conjured up a decade early, to exploit the challenge of the course by raising money for charity..."

作品作りについて。どんな作品も最初は構想に大体１年、コンセプトを作り、こんな簡単なラフスケッチや絵コンテから始まります。
女の子が突如目覚め、自らが女性であることを意識しはじめること、そしてそれが集団化する様子を寄り集まったミュータントで表現した作品「mutant」は表参道ヒルズを個展でジャックした時のビジュアル。今年は日本で個展があり、最新作を去年から準備中。
ただ写真ではないので時間がかかるのです。

Young women, naked, are piled on top of one another. Around them, shoots emerge, leaves unfurl, and flowers bloom profusely. The women’s bodies appear to have become one with nature.
Their black wigs and bright red lipstick convey the stereotyped way that a woman is viewed, here deliberately conjured up by each of the participants. As she grows, a girl suddenly becomes aware of fashion and begins to think of herself as a woman.That process is expressed by this strange ensemble of such mutants (the results of permanent, unprogrammed change) huddled together to represent the way that the process becomes a group activity.

Prophesying Versus Praying

“Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Behold, the prophets tell them, ‘You will not see the sword, neither shall you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.’” Then Yahweh said to me, “The prophets prophesy lies in my name. I didn’t send them, neither have I commanded them, neither did I speak to them. They prophesy to you a lying vision, divination, and a thing of nothing, and the deceit of their own heart.” (Jeremiah‬ ‭14:13-14‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The gift of prophesying is available to every Christian. The apostle Paul said he wanted above all for every believer to prophesy.

God is most willing to manifest this gift through you, especially when you ask for it.

One key principle: if the Lord didn’t show or tell you something, don’t say that the Lord said it.

If you tell something that sounds positive, is Biblically sound, but is only your hope for others, that’s called prayer.

You’re praying for someone to receive blessings promised by God.

However when you prophesy, it’s when you receive a specific message from the Lord, for the purpose of edification, exhortation (strongly encouraging someone to follow God’s ways) or consolation.

“Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God; for no one understands; but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries. But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation. He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly. Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.” (1 Corinthians‬ ‭14:1-5‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Condemning others for their sins and threatening them of punishment from God is not exhortation.

When God corrects a believer, He doesn’t condemn. He does so firmly, lovingly but not to induce fear or to shatter one’s spirit.

Our sins were all righteously forgiven through Jesus’ finished work at the cross. In Christ, are truly free from the condemnation of sin.

All things are permitted, but not everything is beneficial for us.
God’s correction is for our own good, encouraging us to use our freedom in Christ wisely—in a way that profits us and others.

Godly sorrow produces repentance, but it doesn’t condemn.
The way Paul did it, he reminded the church about their identity in Christ and fervently encouraged them to walk in a way that befits that true identity. That’s exhortation which includes correction.

“For though I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you sorry, though just for a while. I now rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made sorry to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing. For godly sorrow produces repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death. For behold, this same thing, that you were made sorry in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vengeance! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.” (2 Corinthians‬ ‭7:8-11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

A true word of prophecy is definitely not something conjured by your own mind.
It will also surely not contradict the Scriptures, and it won’t exalt yourself.

Prophesying in Jesus’ name is not to be taken lightly because a true word of prophecy will surely come to pass.

When you speak words of your own imagination and say that Jesus told you that, it will stumble the faith of others when it doesn’t happen.

All believers can prophesy but not every believer is a prophet.

Prophets receive words of prophecy more frequently than other believers. Prophesying is their vocation—the ministry that God has specifically entrusted to them.
Words of prophecy are often accompanied with the gift of word of knowledge to confirm the word of prophecy.

It’s just like how Evangelists are commissioned and anointed to proclaim the Gospel and win souls as a vocation, not on the same level as a believer sharing the Gospel to their friends and loved ones.

Similarly, Teachers are specially anointed and sent to teach God’s word at a different level from a believer sharing with his family and friends what he learnt at a church service.
Teachers receive revelation of the Scriptures from the Holy Spirit and are able to expound it accurately in the light of the New Covenant of Grace.

If you desire to operate in the gift of prophesying, simply ask Abba Father to work this gift through you and teach you how to do it, for His glory.

It is written that it’s a gift available for every believer so boldly ask and believe—you will receive!
