When We Pray -Art Parable

When We Pray

 © 2026 Debbie Turner Chavers

When we pray we go all around the world.

~Debbie 🌻

Jesus said to go into all the world and preach the gospel. Each believer is commissioned to go and tell.

Prayer is vital to receiving direction from the LORD.

The map of His Will is laid out in scripture. The leading of the Holy Spirit shows us, stirs us, and gives us clear direction in our prayer time. The undergirding of prayer gives feet to the Word moving forth. 

We have been given new tongues and eyes of understanding to share the good news of the kingdom of God.

Mark 16:15-18

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature .

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;

but he that believeth not shall be damned.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues.

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Jesus Christ’s Baptism Painting Series

Jesus Christ’s Baptism

Painting Series

                    © 2026 Debbie Turner Chavers

I painted this series quickly. This 3rd version of Christ’s baptism is my favorite. I do not normally give discernible facial details. The book of Revelation gives such a clear picture of Christ in His majesty and beauty. The burning eyes of the dove seemed appropriate. I was reminded of  Revelation 19:12.

I am praying that every person who looks upon this series has a great desire to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and be baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire.

Luke 3:16

John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

Luke 3:21-22

Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass,that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

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.

The painting is painted with acrylic 

on 12x16 canvas panel.

This is the first painting in the series painted on Arches 12x16 watercolor paper with watercolor.

Mark 1:8-11

I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

And it came to pass in those days , that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan.

And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him.

And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Submission Disqualifies Division

Word Buoys-Life Preservers

© 2015 Debbie Turner Chavers

A religious spirit and a spirit of rebellion are in the children of disobedience.

Their behavior will mimic what they worship: man’s tradition and self.

Child of God, Servant of God:

You can not serve God and mammon. 

You can not be a people pleaser.

The dilemma: 

As we navigate daily interactions with others we quickly conclude that all is not well relationally if we dare to voice truth.

God’s word in a lost and dying world is a life preserver. 

Yet most will decide to drown in a sea of despair with the life buoy right beside them offering safety and relief.

Redeemed child of God:

Speak truth, throw the life line.

Misplaced desire:

Our desire for human love and acceptance easily silences our witness of God’s redemptive plan in our world, our family and our sphere of influence.

A desire to fit in is a spirit of bondage that makes you ineffective, unable to do that which your redeemed man desires to do.

This desire to fit in becomes a cord which entangles you and will prompt you to do that which you hate: hiding.

Your action cloaks or attempts to hide His light within you.

Our heart is well aware of its double minded state and the fact that its carnal nature is at war with the Spirit of God within us.

Therefore:

Our spirit must stay attuned to pleasing the Spirit of God within us. 

This tuning will turn us to doing God’s will not your own.

The war within us seeks to separate us from our true call of obedience to Christ Jesus. 

If we choose not to tune and turn:

Our witness when we refuse to stand for TRUTH will present

 a warped mirror of Christ to others.

We are to mirror Christ not the individual.

Let them see Christ in you, not an idolatrous view of themself.

Be aware:

When you feed your flesh your spirit wanes. 

Fire within you is fed by the oxygen of the Holy Spirit. 

The breath of God.

Give place. 

Give first place to God.

You have been redeemed. 

You have been bought with a blood fulfilled covenant. 

Our allegiance and first call is to serve the LORD.

Submission

The power of a submitted vessel.

Can a cup be filled that has a lid?

Remove wrong thinking.

Agree with God. 

Ask God to fill you with His Holy Spirit.

New Watercolor Art Parable: What Time Is It?

What Time Is It?

© 2023 DebbieTurner Chavers

Matthew 24:36-42

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Then two shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord comes.

Mark 13:32-37

But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

Take heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morning: 

Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

And what I say I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

Luke 12 

Isaiah 49

Daniel 12

Jeremiah 51:6 

No one but the Father knows the time of Christ’s return.

Luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also; for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

Today is my “born again” birthday, the day 36 years ago that I asked Jesus Christ to be my Lord and Savior. If you want today to be your “born again” birthday also click on the link to say the sinners prayer.

Salvation Prayer 

May the Lord bless you,
