"Suffering of the Christ" by Corey Couturier
Because I am a Christian first and foremost in my life, it would be obvious that many of my paintings are of spiritual origin. I did this painting out of my love for Jesus, and what He has done for me. The cross has become the focal point of history. This mixed media painting is painted on Quality Gallery Wrap Canvas made and shipped to me here in Montana from California. It measures 5ftH by 4ftW, I prayed over this mixed media piece before I ever put the brush to it. I asked God to help me create a Great Painting, and I believe He answered my prayer. In this style of painting I usually lay in the background and then look for clues towards the vision God puts in my mind. As I follow these clues, i often listen to music, or play the guitar, often with bursts of inspirational energy as the Holy Spirit guides me. www.coreycouturier.com

God's Favor
I believe I had God's favor on my life for many years, and I didn't even know it!! How is that possible? Because the enemy(Satan) kept me from knowing the truth about myself. Oh, I knew the truth intellectually, but I never felt like a Prince. I never felt like the son of a King!! A servant perhaps, or even the son who never did anything right. The enemy kept me in the dark. I'm beginning to think that it's his ultimate goal--to keep us in the dark, to keep us wondering who we are. If he can keep our true identity hidden from us, then he has power over us, not physical power, but the power of persuasion. Know this my friends, no matter how bleak things look, if you are a believer in Christ, God's supernatural FAVOR rests on you!! And because of that fact, You CAN accomplish great things in the Kingdom!!!

One of My Happiest Days!!
12/22/2014 Today is one of the happiest days of my life!! Three years ago I was at a bad place in my life, and I was hurting so bad I started drinking heavily. One night, at three in the morning, I left the bar in my new car, a Lincoln MKX. I was so proud of that car, and in the back I was carrying the first painting I ever sold. Well, to make a long story short, I was stopped and tested for alcohol, in which I tested positive. Thus began a 3 year journey to see how God would lead me through my discouragement, out of AZ, and back to Montana. Three people prophesied that I would not go to jail in this matter, and it happened exactly that way. I knew, however, that it had to be God who would do it, and that I could not do it on my own. I could only wait, and trust God, that what he told me would come to pass. Waiting is the hardest part of any promise, but it can also be the greatest part: the expectation, the eagerness, the anticipation. Today was the fulfillment of that promise God made to me when I was in that dark place. Today, I walk to the courthouse to speak with Judge Perry Miller, thinking he would help me in some way to resolve this issue, so that I might have a chance to drive again in this lifetime. When he called down to Phoenix for me, they told him that the issue was resolved, that there was no longer a warrant for my arrest, and that I could now move forward towards getting my driver's license. In fact, they said it was done "Today", the very day I went to the courthouse. As I sat down with the judge, the Spirit whispered into my ear, "You are not going to Jail." I just am soooooo amazed!!!! How many conversations have we had about this, LORD? LORD, You are merciful and kind. You lift up those who are bowed low. You encourage the disheartened. You keep your promises. You are the breaker of the chains. You set the captives free!!
