"Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool. - I have wiped out your transgressions like a thick cloud and your sins like a heavy mist.
Return to Me, for I have redeemed you."
"...Yeshua, who [willingly] gave Himself [to be crucified] on our behalf to redeem us and purchase our freedom from all wickedness, and to purify for Himself a chosen and very special people to be His own possession, who are enthusiastic for doing what is good."
Isaiah 1:18, 44:22 & Titus 2:13-14
TRANSFORMATION - A NEW CREATION
DESIGN AND ART STUDIO
"We can all draw close to Him with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into His very image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. - He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we have done, but because of His own compassion and mercy, by the cleansing of the new birth (spiritual transformation, regeneration) and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out richly upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior..."
2 Corinthians 3:18 & Titus 3:5-6

"But like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves in all your conduct [be set apart from the world by your godly character and moral courage]; because it is written, “You shall be holy (set apart), for I am holy. - You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden... let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
"We can be sure that we’ve truly come to live in intimacy with GOD, not just saying, “I am intimate with GOD,” but by walking in the footsteps of Jesus."
1 Peter 1:15-16, Matthew 5:14,16 & 1 John 2:6
REDEEMED BY LOVE FOR A JOURNEY FROM ABOVE
My journey to seek the Father more intimately started in 2019, and since then I have been intently praying to YHVH to reveal my calling and purpose, in order for me to use my gifts (talents) to serve HIM and to know where I belong in the body of Yehshua (Jesus's Hebrew birthname). I thought that by knowing this and being able to serve Him, in working for Him, would bring me closer to Him.
In 2022, I finally stopped doing this, since it was clearly not working and started to just seek HIM first. A search to know and experience YHVH through His Son, Yehshua and His heart, through His Spirit. Only then, He started to reveal the journey I would walk with Him and not only what how I would serve Him. He guides us to use our gifts-talents, that He may express Himself to the world.
The message was clear and I understood that - we cannot approach Him with our works, trying to please Him through our flesh and everything we do, but through listening and obeying Him in every aspect of our lives - the difference between Cian & Abel and Mary & Martha. I also learned that we cannot try to fix ourselves before approaching Him, mislead that we need to approach Him as righteous beings. No!
He loved us first. He calls us to come just as we are, to follow Him and walk in His footsteps. He wants us to approach Him broken, vulnerable - our inner hurts exposed, just as He died on the cross, broken and vulnerable. We must then also be willing to pick up our own cross and walk the journey of crucifying our old, sinful, fleshly nature and carnal cravings.
This journey will allow Him to put us back together, remold us and give us a new life in Him, through the anointing of His Spirit, just as He was resurrected and given a new life through His Life-giving Holy Spirit, Ruach H'kodesh. He makes us righteous through His Spirit and brings us into right standing with our Father-YHVH.
This new life is birthed from Spirit and is spirit, not flesh. We have been 'co-crucified' with Yahshua in dying to our fleshly nature, and also 'co-resurrected' with Yahshua and dead to sin, resisting the temptations of the flesh and living a life of repentance and concurred death, the penalty of sin, in accepting Him as our Savior and Redeemer.
Now we are Fathered by YHVH Himself, whose Spirit dwells in us and are co-heirs to the inheritance with His Son, Yahshua.
And they were all singing this new song of praise to the Lamb: "Because you were slaughtered for us, you are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals. Your blood was the price paid to redeem us. You purchased us to bring to GOD out of every tribe, language, people group, and nation. You have chosen us to serve our GOD and formed us into a kingdom of priests who reign on the earth."
Revelation 5:9 & 10
Love & Above Studio, faith based creative studio in South Africa, was inspired and created to reflect this journey. The moment your repent and give your heart to the Lord, He (love itself) redeems you. That is when your journey from above begins. He transforms and restores your body, soul and spirit, back to it's original purpose - to serve and glorify YHVH. Then you walk in His light and live this new life He called you to.
