Invisible Walls, Luke 4:18, Setting the Captives Free





Invisible Walls, Luke 4:18, Setting the Captives Free

My Initial Art Journal Sketch


Each person may have walls that have been erected within and around them. A box made of invisible walls. The walls could be self -built. For some, only the wisdom found in God’s word reveals the box. So many people remain in bondage, waiting for their release. The King of Kings, Jesus Christ has paid for and Holds the Keys to set them free.

I was “a them”. I sketched myself naked, enclosed and sitting in a puddle of tears. For this was my life before the Risen, Lord Jesus set me free.

The box or boxes can have many names. Fear, Anger, Depression, Sexual Sin, Self Sufficiency, Pride, the list can be quite long. Jesus will set you free. He died and rose again to give you life everlasting, freedom to accept the unmerited favor of His grace and His shed blood for the removal of your sins.

Revelation 19:13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Revelation 19:12 His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

Luke 4:17-21 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.And he closed the book, and he gave [it] again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

In Luke 4:18 Jesus announced liberty. A people in bondage rejoice to hear of freedom. He came to set you free. I had accepted Christ as my Savior several years previous to His revealing the “Invisible Walls “of my boxes to me. Sometimes a box may be readily evident to others, yet invisible to us. As I read the Word of God, He began to reveal my boxes and my need to accept that He held the lid open on every one of the boxes.

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.
