A Cup of Blessing



A Cup of Blessing
© 2005 Debbie Turner Chavers

I recently wrote a poem and it reminded me of the picture I painted in 2005 called a "Cup of Blessing"


A Cup of Blessing

I  was broken
As a vessel of clay
I have been broken

The parched lines of broken
Like a cracked desert floor
Have been revealed for public view
Where private grief has escaped on occasion
and shattered my watered facade
Piece by Piece

Away with You
Cup of Grief!
I am being made new
Peace by His Peace

The dawning of a new day has come
And it is He that I see
My resurrection
The Prince of Peace

I shall fly as with wings of a bird
My cup overflowing with His Love

There is a Cup of Blessing
which Never Runs Dry
Poured by my Redeemer
Jesus Christ
As He was lifted High.

~~


Song of Songs 2:10  My beloved spake and said unto me, Rise up, my fair one, and come away.

1 Corinthians 10:16  The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood  of Christ?  The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

Psalm 23:5  Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

John 12:32  And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

John 11:25,26  Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.  Believest thou this?

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

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

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
