Choices

Choices
© 1999 Debbie Turner Chavers


I painted this picture many years ago after reflecting on the scripture in Joshua 24:15
Joshua 24:15  And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Every day a person is given the opportunity to choose whom they will serve. As I thought on this scripture I was standing at my kitchen sink washing dishes early one morning and this was the image I saw in my mind.

There is a door and a path that leads to the light and there is a path and a door into darkness.
I am asking you to choose the Light, Jesus Christ.

John 8:12  Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

If you look at the painting you will see that the lit side is narrower than the broad path to destruction. The young man stands betwixt the two choices and I have painted him turned to the light.
Matthew 7:13  Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Matthew 7:14  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

God loves you very much, do not hesitate, today is the day to choose life.

The Mind of Christ

Image
The Mind of Christ -Art Parable © 2023 Debbie Turner Chavers I asked God for specific leading in praying for someone who suffers from mental instability and demonic forces/control.  As I began to pray the Lord showed me a lamb/sheep with its head glowing. It was as though a light was emanating from its entire head. The light glowed brilliantly yet was brightest on the crown of the head. As I saw the image I heard the scripture “ the mind of Christ”. I was reminded of the scripture in : 1 Corinthians 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. I encourage you to pray the Word of God and plead the blood of Jesus Christ over those you love or care about.  After praying the Word over them began to thank God for healing their mind and returning them to their first love of Christ if they were previously born again. In all cases ask God to give them to His Son, Jesus Christ.(see John 6:37) I pray that the visual reminds others also t

For The Joy Set Before Him

For The Joy Set Before Him © 2019 Debbie Turner Chavers Water-Man Series Hebrews 12:2 Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and set down at the right hand of the throne of God. The treasured blessing of taking communion. Can you see the shadow of the Cross? We are loved. Luke 22:1-23 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude. Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be
