Because No Man Is An Island


Because No Man Is An Island
© 1997 Debbie Turner Chavers


As we live out our life, at times it is easy to separate ourselves from our brothers and sisters in Christ.
But we are needed and must open our hands for God to fill them.
Hebrews speaks of assembling ourselves. I have had many tell me that they believe this is attending church.
And so it is. Yet we are the building, the temple that He desires to fill. We are the living church, the container of His love, the members of His body.
More than mortar, a building of bricks. We are the body, the Bride of Christ.


Hebrews 10:25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

1 Corinthians 12:27
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

1 Corinthians 12:12  For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:13  For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12:14  For the body is not one member, but many.

You are not an island. You are needed.

Hi Debbie. I'm another Debbie... and a Christian (aka: Christina)... and an artist! The Lord has been teaching me a lot about Joy and Meaning in life through the poem No Man is an Island. I'd love to buy a print of the piece you featured here. A very good reproduction on high quality paper (Ooh… like torn edge, cotton, watercolor paper… Sorry... I'm an artist) would be great! Do you sell your artwork? I sure hope so because it's fantastic! God Bless.

The Mind of Christ

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 othe...

Pentecost, One Accord

Pentecost   © 2023 Debbie Turner Chavers Acts 2:1-4 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.  And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:17-21 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the m...

Daniel’s Vision-Daniel 2:19-23 and Daniel 2: 27-45

Art Parable -Vision of Daniel 2: The Fourth Kingdom © Debbie Turner Chavers June 3, 2024 as I fell asleep I saw a quick image that startled me awake.  I saw a line of fire and two feet made of metal and clay with legs attached descending from the sky. I immediately thought “ That looks like the statue’s feet from the book of Daniel! (chapter 2 verses 40-45)  The line of fire appeared first, then I saw the lower legs and feet descending above it. I quickly looked up the scriptures about the statue. I was not reading or studying the book of Daniel at that time. Yet I believe the vision was to turn my attention to these particular scriptures. The kingdoms of this world will end. Be ready.  Have your lamps full of oil and trimmed, no man knows the time of the Lord’s return, yet He shall return for his own. As it states in Daniel 2:45 “and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof is sure. The fourth kingdom shall happen, possibly on the horizon.  Times and sea...
