Delivered in Trouble



Delivered in Trouble
© 2005 Debbie Turner Chavers

Isaiah 43:2  When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

During a time of trouble the Lord showed me this image concerning what was happening in the situation spiritually. He showed me a man who was in a fire but felt no harm. It was raining down upon him from heaven like a shower. I saw the image as I have painted it. The fire was underneath and he appeared to be in the chimney pipe. The fire raged and he washed in the water that was pouring upon him from heaven. He was protected. In the natural, this could not occur without God's provision.
Do not be amazed or fearful of fiery trials. God will be with you.

Without Christ?



Without Christ
© 1998 Debbie Turner Chavers

Ephesians 2:12  That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

Humans are incomplete without Christ. Our lives consists of many things, yet there is an emptiness that only God can fill through His son Jesus Christ. No puzzle is finished until the last piece is in place to make the picture complete. All the work of putting a life together is not complete until this piece is in place.

Enough



Enough
© 2004 Debbie Turner Chavers

Throughout scripture this word is used to mean several things. When I was given the picture it represented one thing to me and now many years later, I can see many scriptures in it.

There are 32 scriptures in the King James Bible that contain the word enough. The scripture references start at Genesis 24:25 and end at Acts 27:38.

I think the picture will mean a specific thing to you when you see it. Regardless of where you are in your walk.
God is always Enough.

God Sees Us Naked



God Sees Us Naked
© 1999 Debbie Turner Chavers

 

Hebrews 4:13  Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Our perception of how God sees us, varies from individual to individual.

God showed me that no matter how I was dressed that He sees my nakedness.

He sees your nakedness.

We dress in our facades with one another. Yet God sees us naked.

Everything about us is visible to His eyes, He saw our need for His covering and has provided that covering, through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

He has given us garments of salvation and a robe of righteousness.

Cold, Stony Heart

Cold, Stony Heart
© 1999 Debbie Turner Chavers

I saw this picture as the Word of God pierced my cold heart. God's word melts the hardness of sin from your heart, mind, and body as you allow it too. The first step is to acknowledge your need and then ask Him to be your Saviour and fill you with His living Word.

Hebrew 4:12For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Ezekiel 36:26
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

Waiting to be Filled



Waiting to be Filled
© 2005 Debbie Turner Chavers

Acts 1:4,5  And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

Acts 1:8  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Isaiah 64:8  But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

If you study the pots, you will notice that each is a different shape and color. Each one is imperfect.
This is on purpose, for it represents each of us.

Behold the Man,The Word Became Flesh



Behold the Man, The Word Became Flesh
© 2005 Debbie Turner Chavers

John 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Matthew 11:19  The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a wine bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children

John 19:5  Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

Throughout scripture and history you can hear man saying "Behold the man!" As a believer, Jesus Christ is the Risen, only begotten Son of God. I see Him as this picture. He was made flesh, and His word fleshes out my image of Him.
His Word is sufficient for all things.  In this art parable I have filled out the image of His body with scriptures.  As you view the image, His Holy word that meets your need is how you will see the image of Him.

As you study the Word of God, you also can begin to see Him as He rises from the ashes of your unbelief.

Man Shall Not Live by Bread Alone



Man Shall Not Live by Bread Alone
© 2006 Debbie Turner Chavers

Luke 4:4  And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

Jesus suffered many things while here on the earth. After 40 days in the wilderness and being tempted by the devil, he was hungry. In all decisions He honored His Father by His obedience.  Eat God's Word to be strong in the Lord.

I love to eat on my screened back porch during warm weather. One day as I was enjoying lunch at my small bistro table, I decided to read some of God's word as I ate my lunch. The afternoon sun was shining across my hand as I lifted the fork to my mouth. I saw my hand and fork as a shadow across the pages I was reading at that time and I heard this scripture in my heart.

Daily as we interact with the Lord, He speaks to us in our everyday life. Look around you and your situation. What is He speaking to you in His word. Take the time to feed at His table.

I have never left hungry.

"Feed my Lambs, Feed my Sheep"



Feed My Lambs, Feed My Sheep
© 2005 Debbie Turner Chavers

Close- up of grain with Scriptures for Feed My Lambs, Feed My Sheep
© 2005 Debbie Turner Chavers

In the scriptures of John 21, Jesus reminds his disciples (children) of their first job. Simon Peter and many of the disciples were fisherman.

Mark 1:16,17,18  Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

After Jesus was crucified they returned to fishing. In the painting the blue represents the water(sea of Tiberius), the loaf and the grain represents the written Word. The red bowl, represents Jesus Christ's shed blood.

Jesus, gently reminded Simon Peter of what he was to be doing. He asked Simon Peter three times "lovest thou me?" Simon Peter had denied Christ three times and when Jesus returned after His resurrection He gave him the opportunity to confess his love for Him these three times.

Simon Peter was to be a fisher of men not a fisherman.

John 21:15  So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

John 21:16  He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

John 21:17  He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
