Hear and Obey

Hear and Obey
© 2011 Debbie Turner Chavers

Are you listening to the voice of the Lord?  Has the sin of disobedience stuffed your ears?
When I was young, people would say "Take the cotton out of your ears."
In my painting of the Art Parable, "Hear and Obey", the cotton ball in the Water-man's ear  represents willful disobedience.
You can choose to hear and obey God's word. 
If you have stopped your ears from hearing the word of the Lord, remove the cotton of disobedience.
Open your ears to receive God's good word for and to you.

Matthew 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Mark 7:16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

Luke 9:35  And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

**Strongs concordance gave these meanings in context with the word ear in scripture
(a) of the physical organ, e.g., Luke 4:21; Acts 7:57; in Act 11:22, in the plural with akouo, "to hear," lit., "was heard into the ears of someone," i.e., came to the knowledge of; similarly, in the singular, Matthew 10:27, in familiar private conversation; in James 5:4 the phrase is used with eiserchomai, "to enter into;" in Luke 1:44, with ginomai, "to become, to come;" in Luke 12:3, with lalein, "to speak" and pros, "to;"
(b)metaphorically, of the faculty of perceiving with the mind, understanding and knowing, Matthew 13:16; frequently with akouo, "to hear," e.g., Matthew 11:15; 13:9, 43; Revelation. 2 and 3, at the close of each of the messages to the churches; in Matthew 13:15; Act 28:27, with bareos, "heavily," of being slow to understand and obey; with a negative in Mark 8:18; Romans 11:8; in Luke 9:44 the lit. meaning is "put those words into your ears," i.e., take them into your mind and keep them there; in Acts 7:51 it is used with aperitmetos, "uncircumcised."
As seeing is metaphorically associated with conviction, so hearing is with obedience (hupakoe, lit., "hearing under;" the Eng., "obedience" is etymologically "hearing over against," i.e., with response in the hearer).

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...

Doors

Doors  © 2023 Debbie Turner Chavers Water-man Series Will you be a house of holiness? Will you allow the LORD access to every room of your mind and body? Every corner? Every locked door?  The Word of God and the Holy Spirit of God will sweep each room clean and fill them with beauty. You hold the keys. Your will, your choice. Obey. Ask and receive.  God has redeemed you, yet He will not forcibly enter your locked doors. He stands at the door and knocks. Open the door. What we give up is never equal to the treasure and freedom we receive in Christ Jesus. ~Debbie 🌻 John 10:10   The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy : I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Ephesians 3:20  Now unto him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that workers in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.
