"Heart of America: The Blessings of Repentance" - fine art print
Painted live at the “Crossroads of America” event with Time to Revive, Goshen, Indiana
2 Chronicles 7:14 – “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
Joel 2:12-13 – “Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he relents over disaster.”
Malachi 3:2-3 – “But who can endure the day of his coming? And who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to the Lord.”

This painting reflects the heart of Jesus for the United States, with the American flag draped over His arm—a symbol of His steadfast love and desire for this nation. Yet His concern goes deeper than outward appearances or national success; it reaches into the condition of every individual heart. His hands are extended, offering an invitation to come to Him, to lay down all that burdens us, and to seek Him with our whole being.
In one hand, He holds ashes—symbolizing repentance and humility. In Scripture, ashes represent brokenness and turning away from sin (Joel 2:12-13, Jonah 3:6-10). They remind us that God, as a consuming fire, refines His people to reflect His holiness. More than outward works, He desires hearts fully surrendered to Him, aligning with His character and ways (1 Samuel 16:7). Repentance begins with recognizing our need for Him and humbling ourselves in His presence.
In His other hand is golden wheat, a symbol of His promise to restore and bless. The wheat represents provision, fruitfulness, and healing—an exchange of the ashes of repentance for the beauty of His blessings (Isaiah 61:3). But this promise comes with a choice: Will we surrender our idols, pride, and human-made systems, allowing Him to refine us? Only then can true healing and revival flow from transformed hearts.
God’s greatest concern is the transformation of our hearts, not the perfection of our works. He calls us to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30). When our hearts align with Him, the overflow brings healing to the land. True revival begins not with programs or effort, but with hearts fully turned to Him. As Ezekiel 36:26-27 promises, He will give us new hearts and a new spirit, replacing hearts of stone with hearts of flesh.
This painting is an invitation to surrender—to bring Him what little remains and trust Him to raise up a harvest beyond what we can imagine. Out of the ashes, He promises to raise His church, shining His glory. It reflects the hope of 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
Painted in a time of worship and prayer for America, this artwork declares that healing begins within each heart. When we surrender and seek Him first, His kingdom will be revealed, and His glory will shine. It is a call to exchange ashes for beauty, repentance for restoration, and surrender for the abundance of His promises.

Mindi’s fine art canvas prints are reproductions of her original paintings printed on artist-quality canvas. Sizes vary by artwork, from smaller pieces to larger statement sizes. Unless the product option specifically says Stretched Canvas Print, canvas prints are shipped unstretched.
Unstretched canvas prints can be framed, mounted, or professionally stretched by your local framer. Because each artwork has its own proportions, available sizes vary; order from the size and format shown on the individual product page.
Need help choosing a size or format? Contact Mindi Oaten Art or visit the Frequently Asked Questions.
A Stretched Canvas Print is a fine art canvas print stretched over an internal support frame, creating a ready-to-display presentation without first visiting a framer. It can be hung as-is or placed inside a decorative outer frame.
Stretched canvas sizes vary by artwork. If the size you need is not listed, contact the studio to ask whether a custom stretched size is available.
Mindi Oaten Art may be able to create an approved custom fine art canvas print in a size not listed on the product page. Custom print orders are quoted individually based on the artwork, final dimensions, proportions, and finishing requirements.
Custom sizes must respect the proportions of the original painting, and some dimensions may require cropping. The studio will confirm what works visually before the order is finalized.
For a custom print size, contact Mindi Oaten Art. For an entirely new original artwork, visit the Custom Painting & Commission page. You can also review the FAQ.
Original paintings on canvas are one-of-a-kind works created by Mindi. Many are acrylic on canvas; the exact medium and dimensions are listed on each product page. Purchasing an original means purchasing the physical original artwork, not a reproduction.
Display original canvas paintings indoors in a stable environment, away from prolonged direct sunlight, fireplaces, heating vents, bathrooms, and major humidity or temperature changes. Dust gently with a clean, soft, dry cloth or artist’s brush; never use water, sprays, solvents, or household cleaners on the painted surface.
Framing varies by piece. Some paintings can be displayed unframed, while others may suit a floating or traditional frame. Unless the listing says otherwise, framing is not included. Browse available Original Paintings or contact the studio with a framing or care question.
Some original works on paper include watercolour and other paper-based pieces; the exact medium is identified on the product page. For long-term preservation, frame them behind glass or acrylic using archival, acid-free matting and backing, with UV-protective glazing when possible.
Keep paper originals away from direct sunlight and high humidity, and do not let the painted surface touch standard glass directly; use a mat or spacer for separation.
For framing advice, contact Mindi Oaten Art. Additional ordering information is available in the FAQ.
Displaying: keep artwork indoors and away from prolonged direct sunlight, excessive moisture, smoke, and rapid temperature changes.
Handling: use clean, dry hands and hold prints or originals by the edges whenever possible. Support larger pieces evenly with two hands.
Cleaning: use only a soft, dry cloth or clean artist’s brush. Do not apply water, glass cleaner, oils, sprays, or household cleaners directly to printed or painted surfaces.
Framing: archival, acid-free materials and UV-protective glazing are recommended for works on paper and can also help protect fine art prints. Canvas works should be framed or stretched appropriately for the specific piece.
