SSMT 2015 with Beth Moore and Siesta's

Man Shall Not Live by Bread Alone

© 2006 Debbie Turner Chavers

This past year, I started a year long attempt at memorizing specific scriptures with other women from around the world.  We all joined together online at Living Proof Ministries..aka Beth Moore's website.
It was a joyful journey of dependence on the Holy Spirit to help me remember "in application" and assorted sticky notes visually!
On December 15, 2015 we were to give our 24th verse and to share abit of our journey.  I have included my last post on the LPM blog from SSMT 2015 below.

Psalm 20:7 has been a familiar comfort over the years and it seemed fitting to be the last verse for my year long endeavor.  This week-end, the LPM siesta's gathered together to hear Beth speak, celebrate their milestones, and rejoice in a blessed task accomplished.
I was not able to attend the conference, but I rejoiced in the gathering of all the ladies who were present to celebrate.  I am sure it was amazing to hear the laughter and grateful praise of a group of women who love Jesus.
The paragraph below was what I wrote on Beth's blog.
I find it easy to be reminded of His Word, but more difficult to memorize it.
I rejoice in the fact that as I have read and considered His Word over the years, He has always been faithful to remind me just like He said He would. Like everything else in my relationship with Christ...as I practice, He teaches me.

John 14:26  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.





My online entry at Beth's blog...

Debbie, Tennessee

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.  Psalm 20:7  KJV

The study of the Word always gives me a serious push towards less of me and more of Him. I have suffered life without the gift of God, Living Water, and I never want to be without it again.(John 4:10)

In the natural all things shrivel without water. But Living Water shrivels the carnality of man and refreshes, builds, and strengthens the spirit in man.

I do not know whether I will be able to attend the January gathering but it has been a blessing to gather here on these entries. I was always amazed as I read the entries posted during the same time period as my own. More often than not, the word written before and after my own entry would be a comfort or a word spoken in due season for me. 

Beth Moore, thank you for providing this learning platform for your sisters. Sisters (Siesta's) thank you for the fellowship of Gods word shared in your own journey. It blessed my journey.

We are lifetime learners of the grace of God. As I typed my entry just now, I saw my daily/ year planner in front of me on my desk.

I am going to transfer my scriptures from this memorization time to a single page in my 2016 planner.  Each of these scriptures were quickened to my understanding as a word in due season throughout this past year.

His Word sews up the broken places and knits me anew. And like a favorite sweater, I want to wrap up in the comfort and beautiful tapestry of His Word given, as I continue to pursue my relationship with Him.

A blessed new year to all.

May the LORD bless us, keep us, may His face shine upon us, be gracious unto us, lift up his countenance upon us, and give us peace. In Jesus name. Amen.

~Debbie

Freely Receive, Freely Give

1/2 Hearted Obedience

© 2013 Debbie Turner Chavers

Today decide.  Who will YOU serve?  We are to have singleness of heart toward our Redeemer.
All we have and all we are is due Him.  He has paid in Full our Redemption. 
There is a fear in those gathered in mankind of a usurpation. Those that have, which is all, are fearful that someone will take their place.  Rightfully so. For someone has. Jesus Christ has taken and borne our transgressions away.
Men of flesh and bone fear failure.  We cling to our gifts with soulful remorse, knowing and acknowledging little of the value given that is to be shared in this world.
We strive to hang on to our gifting, instead of letting go.  Our heart of pride recognizes the gift within, but quickly shuts the box and ties the bow as though we have not seen His glory.
What are we thinking? What are we doing?
We carefully guard our perceived value, intending to be paid well...for that which we have been freely given. That which was Paid in Full.

We are His children.  A witness of a faithful God in a lost, deceived and dying world.
No man knows the day or the hour of His return.  Be found faithful, be diligent.  He gave all for you and I.  Can we give less? Consider John 10:10.

A house divided can not stand.  We are the tabernacle of God.  The Lord calls us to wholeness in Him. Work and give, while it is yet day.  John 9:4, Matthew 21:28-45

~Debbie


Matthew 10:8  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Revelation 21:6  And he said unto me, It is done.  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

Isaiah 45:13  I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.

Behold the Man,The Word Became Flesh

Hebrews 9:11-14  But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot  to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Acts 15:16-17  After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
