You Are Not Your Own

     For the Joy Set Before Him

        © Debbie Turner Chavers

The LORD would have ALL

of your heart, a people called 

by His name. 

A people chosen, redeemed,

set apart for God’s purpose.

YOU are the LORD’S,

you are not your own.

~Debbie

Matthew 22:36

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Streams in the Desert

Streams in the Desert

© 2023 Debbie Turner Chavers

I wanted you 

to be pretty

But you were not

You were all hard edges

and broken pieces

Covered in shame

Voicing blame

I approached you

Tentatively 

Extending a cup of Living Water

You gasped

Drinking deeply

As a desert long since dry.

You began to bloom

A cactus released

Prickles still

Yet flowers began to bloom

Your beauty hidden

Now released in the Son.

The Importance of a Name

Behold the Man, The Word Became Flesh

© 2005 Debbie Turner Chavers

The importance of a name...

When I was younger I was put in school under an assumed name to protect me from an abusive parent, my natural dad. My mom did this to protect my sister and I.
When I became an adult I dropped my alias name and started using my legal birth last name ( maiden name) which is Turner.
It was part of my journey toward wholeness to reclaim my birth name in the natural.
To take steps to move from the shadows of fear, to trusting and walking in the light of God's provision.
Regardless of our history, there was no mistake about the family we were born into.

God chose Mary to be the mother of Jesus. Luke 1
God chose our mother and families also.
Before we were born there was a plan for us.
God does not make mistakes. Psalm 139

Names can define our image of who we are in life and our possibilities in this life.

If you will receive it, God will give you a new name.

We have been granted the ability to live our lives under the power and authority of His name, the name that our Father has bestowed upon us through His Son, Jesus Christ.

To take a name is life changing.

Throughout history and scripture we can see the importance of names.

From Genesis to Revelation there are so many examples of natural names being replaced with a new name.

Each time scripture shows God bestowing a new name to an individual it is life changing for the recipient as well as the world.

Life changing.

New creation, life changing.

Part of my identity in Christ is to be a turner or one who points others to Jesus Christ.

The irony did not escape me that my birth name was previously hidden.

Wickedness always tries to steal, kill, and destroy, to take that which God has given you. John 10:10

Be careful of the names that you allow others to attach to you through their words or actions toward you.

God has redeemed you, He has called, anointed and appointed you.

God knows you by name.

His name is given, you are His.

Do not allow an alias to define you.

Child of God, Claim your name.

~Debbie

Luke 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

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.

Psalm 139:1-24

Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white rainment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Luke 10:19-20

Behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

In Remembrance

For The Joy Set Before Him

© 2019 Debbie Turner Chavers

Water-man Series

Hebrews 12:2  

“In Remembrance of Me” Jesus said. This taking of the Cup and Bread. Our memory holds him, our tongue tastes. He gathered them to give the memory of this gift. The gift of God’s love for us.
God has prepared everything and everyone. Each step Christ took tells a story of how and why it is as it is.
Even before the gathering for Passover, “The Last Supper,” Christ sent them to prepare the gathering of sons and daughters. Judas Iscariot was there also.
At church gatherings, the coming together, there is usually a Judas present there as well.
Jesus knew that, knows this.
The betrayer would attempt to have all eyes on himself. He still holds the bag. His love of money, fame and recognition is still present.
Do not fail to gather together. Every Judas soon removes himself.

~ Debbie

Luke 22:19  And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

Luke 22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

Luke 22:21 But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

Luke 22:22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

The Relationship of Salvation

The Prodigal and Family

© 2010 Debbie Turner Chavers

Water-Man Series

Welcome home. Luke 15:11-32

Once Saved. Always Saved?
Serious question, serious answer. From the very first days of my salvation I heard many people refer to this concept “once saved, always saved.”
So I decided to write a few of my thoughts on this statement and the question, “Once saved, always saved?”
From my perspective it has never been about whether Jesus changed His mind about saving me or being my Savior.
The question was more in line with my agreement to the received fact.
At any point in my walk with God, past, present or future, did I change my mind?
Am I walking away from God or toward Him?

God has promised to never leave or forsake me. Did He mean it? Yes
Did I mean it? Yes.

Am I backing up my decision with my obedience? 

Am I applying myself to the study of His word to show myself approved?

So, I ask myself, "Have I applied His teaching to my life?” Am I applying His word currently in my everyday decisions?”
His word is active and alive, am I actively participating in my relationship with God?
Once saved? Yes, I was once saved.
And because I am in a relationship with God through His son,Jesus Christ, I have committed myself to the nurturing of this relationship. 

Not of works, lest I boast, but an active relationship with Christ Jesus who shed His blood to set me free from all that would hinder me. 

In his love he has provided everything that I need, and I am receiving daily what He has provided, a new life in Christ Jesus.

Gratefully Saved,
~Debbie

Have you experienced a falling out, a falling away from your relationship with God?Do not despair, you can return unto your first love.
Repentance is a free gift from a loving Father, extended to all who will receive it.
Ask and receive. You have not, because you ask not.

Father God,
I have turned away from your original intention to bless me, to provide for me, to be in a forever relationship with you.
Forgive me, create a clean heart in me. 
Father God cause me to joy in your provided salvation once again. 
In Jesus name. Amen

Hebrews 13:5; Habakkuk 3:18

Ephesians 1:13  In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

2 Timothy 2:15  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Ephesians 2:9  Not of works, lest any man should boast.

John 14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Hebrews 3:14  For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

Prophesy

Choices

© 1999 Debbie Turner Chavers

1 Samuel 10:6 And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man.
And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.

These Old Testament verses brought my attention back to the New Testament promise found in Acts 2.

Acts 2:17-21 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see vision, 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 vapour of smoke:
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.


*Receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit will change you if you will receive Him.
As you read about Saul and his journey to becoming a king, you can see how his anointing and obedience played out in his everyday life and choices.
Even though a change had happened within him, he hid from it.

We all have baggage we hide in. (1 Samuel 10:22)
COME OUT.
God will not force our repentance. We are given the choice to choose Him.

1 Samuel 10:1 Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?

We too have been on a journey and God has sent His only begotten Son to anoint us to be a captain over his inheritance.
He has given you every good thing

We too have been made kings and priests unto our God.
Consider Revelation 1:5-6
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, washed us from our sins in his own blood,
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen

*Today you have a choice. You can receive the gift of repentance and change into a new creation.
 God will receive you.
Jesus said in John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me: and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

Jesus said in John 20:21-23
Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

Scriptures taken from KJV

Immovable Love

Several mornings ago in the quiet of stretching I started thinking about "The world" and "The Word" and our response to them.

Man recognizes man via admiration, etc.. This gamut of interest is a fluid thing that changes with the barometer of judgement for or against you.
One of the things I love about God is that He recognizes His own and is not fickle.
His love and favor are stable, never transitory.
God is trustworthy, faithful, just, and merciful.
As I mull over the attributes of God versus the attributes of man it becomes glaringly obvious who we should emulate, worship and give our allegiance too.

For me the choice is God.
I hope as you consider Him in His beauty of character and deed that you too will choose Him as well.
Check God out.
You can read His written Bio in the Bible and receive a new name and identity after accepting His Son, Jesus Christ as your Savior.
Click here for a brief introduction to asking Jesus into your heart.
His love, His truth accepted and responded to, will set you free with His Immovable Love for you.

Call upon the LORD, He will not reject you.
~Debbie

Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Behold the Man,The Word Became Flesh

Romans 1:6 
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Acts 4:10-12
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

God Sees Us Naked

© 1999 Debbie Turner Chavers

All the answers and questions in scripture are for our edification ...our education.
I am reading and pondering two questions in Genesis 3.
As I read the questions being asked, I was reminded of my art parable, God Sees Us Naked.

First question: Genesis 3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
Second question: Genesis 3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked?

I think these are great questions for considering eternity.
To be hungry for salvation,"new birth," you need to consider these questions yourself.
Where are you?  Who told you, you were naked?

God is waiting for you. Since you were conceived in your mother's womb there has been a divine appointment and daily fellowship available to you. Don't hide from the presence of the LORD God.
If God says, "Where are you" you need to be able to reply, "Lord, here am I."
If you are hiding because you are naked. He has a beautiful robe of righteousness to clothe you.
So get dressed.
As Adam considered his condition he began to blame Eve, in Genesis 3:12-13.
Don't do that.
Receive the gift of salvation, quit blaming others for your lost and naked condition.
Accept the salvation and blessing of God, the shed blood of his Son, Jesus Christ, the Redeemer.

You are loved and you are wanted.
~Debbie


2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

"Father" Me Prayer

Psalm 23-Beside Still Waters

Psalm 23:1-6

© 2008 Debbie Turner Chavers

This morning I awoke with a verse of scripture resounding in my thoughts. It was a morning thought pertaining to a portion of Psalm 23:6.. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. 
A beautiful verse, one which I am in the habit of confessing over my life and loved ones. But this morning in my sleepy condition I said the verse a bit different..which woke me with a start due to my percieved error.

*What I prayed was "Surely your goodness and mercy shall Father me all the days of my life."

As I recognized my miswording of the known scripture, I felt the Lord prompt me to consider what I had prayed. So I did. 
I am asking you to consider my unintentional prayer for your own life also.
What would this manifested prayer look like in your own life? Allow God to be a "Father" to you.

Father God, thank you. I praise and thank you that surely your goodness and your mercy shall "Father" me all the days of mine and my family's life. In Jesus name. Amen.

~Debbie

Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17  Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
Comfort your hearts,and stablish you in every good word and work.

Psalm 23:1-6
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Grace and Color Chips of White

Behold the Man,The Word Became Flesh

© 2005 Debbie Turner Chavers

John 1:14

It is difficult for a human to realize the purity of righteousness until they have recognized the dark stain of unrighteousness. Pure white never looks as brilliant to the natural eye until contrasted with another color. I was not able to appreciate spotless until I saw my sin from His view.
I had played in the world and needed a cleaning transformation.
But my perception was ..I am a good person. A nice person. We have many variations of self perceived self righteousness.
I was wrong.
Just as there are no stages of perfection achieved by human endeavor there are no stages of salvation. We have nothing to add in our flesh except submission to His perfect gift of righteousness.
It is no longer about who I am, but whose I am.

A "good' person sees themselves and their actions as a neutral white. But visit any paint aisle and you will be amazed at the many hues of white.  Human nature takes most things at face value, like white is white...right?
But the Word divides asunder our human perception and opens wide the eyes of our understanding and allows us to see as He sees. Shadows and variations of fleshly endeavor never equal the cleansing and the stain removing power of His blood as applied to our lives and thinking.

If you are tired, tired of trying to be perfect. Then I have Good News for you. He who is perfect, Christ Jesus, is offering you perfection. His. His sacrifice on the cross and His blood which was shed for our redemption.

Today is the day.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
John 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

~Debbie




Isaiah 55-all of it.
Isaiah 64:6  But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God.

Hebrews 4:12 For 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.

Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Poem "Ye Must Be Born Again"

Ye Must Be Born Again

© 2012 Debbie Turner Chavers

Water-Man Series

John 3

Recently, I read a talented persons poetry of angst and despair, of gloom and doom. Sad enough to raise your hair. The poem below is for all..but you dear one in particular. The Lord sees every tear, every hair of your head is numbered. Your were created in the dark places yet birthed into light.
Your destiny has been sealed and set before you. Open the door, He stands waiting and knocking.

For He Loves You Completely with His Whole Heart
~Debbie



Ye Must Be Born Again

Oh! I love a happy ending from death to life
But you have recorded a witness of life unto death.

It is not that it should not be told, your witness of old
Nor that you should not be bold, as your heart and thoughts unfold.

The story written as you fling the arrows of your heart
In sorrow of your perceived demise of love that is true

But there is a lover who loves you true and victoriously waits for you
Drop your battered guard and open the door and give Him your all

For out of your darkest dark
He calls you into His perfect light.

As I read your heart cry...I reply
The words of Jesus Christ, a mighty Warrior and the Savior

(Luke 8:52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.)


She was the kind of found that had a soul craving
For a new beginning that only He could create.

The kind that had driven herself useless in the art of life
Yet wanted to be framed as He had painted her.

Soft and yielding, colors unexplored,
Redeemed, restored yet better than before.

A canvas painted and signed,
Chosen for eternity.

And so she dropped her "No trespassing" sign
And invited Him in.

To become beautifully beautiful,
without and within
She chose,
Born Again

< JESUS >

In Christ, Christ In Me

© 2012 Debbie Turner Chavers

Recently, I was asked to share my testimony and so I am posting a part of it.  As with any person we all have a history of life lived, before Christ.
The entire world does, on a timeline of history, they call it BC.

But for me, Jesus birth, death and resurrection impacted me personally, not just historically. The facts of who I was and what I did before Christ are inconsequential. Suffice to say..I was a sinner.
A past life of living without the true WAY.
But now in God's eyes, my past is dead, buried, and my sins are gone. Deleted, erased.
I was what is referred to as a good person, a well meaning person.
A sinner.
A better than you a and worse than you, sinner.
A Sinner- a rebellious one who refused to acknowledge the Creator in thought or deed. One who conceptualized my ability to live and die in my own way. To walk out my life in my own way.

John 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Hebrews 8:12  For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Hebrews 10:16-17 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

But then Jesus became the center of me, filling in the less than and more than concept of me.
A new creation In Christ is now my identity.

I am now and can be everything He desires of me and manifests through and in me of himself.
This can be true for you as well as me.
No matter what I put on the back of or front of this equation.  Jesus must be the center. 
You and I and our abilities are less than until everything in and about us, meets and manifests "His more than."

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengtheneth me.

John 15:5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin: that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Before Christ my self efforts were..
Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

All of John 3--ye must be born again.
