Here I may talk about my life, art, the Bible and just thoughts. Whenever I feel like it, I will come here and put ideas. And before I go on, I want to thank my friend Loni Arnold that since 1995 has helped me make my domain name and website and has been by side to encourage me with Revelation Museum and has been my best fan.

September 23, 2025Like all of us, I was born. I was born not knowing that the Almighty God knew me in my mother's womb or that He chose me before the foundation of the World. These are things that should have been drilled into us since we said our first words. After mama and dada which shows the baby the human authority, then the baby should be taught the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit for the Trinity is our Life. Without the Trinity we are dead in our trespasses and sin. I never knew that He knew me in the womb or that I was chosen before the foundation of the world until I was 80 years old!
I am the one and only Linda Lee Zarley Stevens Day! And you are the one and only you! Then we have Revelation 2:17 "I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it known only to the one that receives it."
We are so important to God that God has given us a great task. KJV John 14:12 says "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father". When Jesus said this, He hadn't died yet. I don't remember a preacher saying what the greater works are. KJV Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death. Jesus had to die first and give His blood for us to make Revelation 12:11 take place. The greater works is the "Great Commission" (co = jointly, together and mission = an important assignment, usually involving travel) . We are to go (not just the preacher) and tell people about Jesus' death on the cross to save us and how our life changed because we love Jesus.
Come to Jesus now. Say, "forgive me of my sins and I accept you as Lord and Savior and give me the ability to overcome this life of sin and give me peace, your peace dear God".

This is a picture of me working at my famous table that I have been using for 47 years to draw on. This was taken in October, 2025.

"I sometimes think that people don't really believe me when I say that, you, God, draw these pictures." I loved to do the art in the 1960's. A person just needed the desire to make interesting work. A person didn't need to be a good drawer or a good artist. Modern art had many different types of work and it was fun! I was an average artist. But I had the motivation to create.
I had a feeling God was calling me to do the book of Revelation. After my master's show at Ellensburg University (new art gallery) in the spring of 1973, I knew for sure. 1972 was the start and I started off slowly, but now at 80 years old, I have a sense of urgency. I barely looked at Revelation at that time. Right now I still have hardly read it past Revelation 13. When I started reading Revelation 1, it was like being lost in a forest without the sun to show you which way to go. In my conversation with God, I said that, "I can't read all those books that people have spent their life on studying the book of Revelation." His answer was, "read it (the Bible), then draw it". Kind of like His answer to "who are you?" And He said "I am that I am".

November 5, 2025 Many years ago I asked God to help me not make mistakes and to not tear up work that I make that is not working out. He has helped me not to make mistakes and I am so grateful as mistakes make me discouraged. Then he helps me when I am lost and don't know what to do. He had a lizard run in front of me on my side yard when I was looking to draw the dragon. I ran to get my camera and the lizard had gotten on the side of the house and waited for me to return and take it's picture. I used that lizard for Revelation 12.
God stretches me as in all of my work. For Revelation 13, I needed the sea, and a photo of the ocean comes up on my screen of my computer, just what I wanted. I've only drawn chairs once and now I have to draw chairs in the 24 elders drawing. In the black horse, how do you use black and make the different shades? Then I get stuck and he tells me to look at my old, old work for ideas and he's right as I had a technique or a color that I could use.

Yes, I get stretched all of the time. I have to draw a baby, a sky, an ocean, chairs, people in certain positions, a landscape, a new color scheme or use new paint or pencil products. God moves me and then it seems like God draws it. This is God's documentary, this is God's museum, this is God's prophesy. What an honor to be blessed to read Revelation over and over and be chosen before the foundation of the world to do this. If you see my work, you are seeing God's work! I, like you, are God's work! His creation! His masterpiece!So remember, what we do for God is what really counts!

November 8, 2025Well, the above is a hard act to follow. You don't need any more than what I just put. But, I will go on because in the future no one will have to study this artist as I will have that study done for you. So I will go on and either bore you or shock you.
Giving advise to young and old, I would say, "TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!" "What would it kill you to admit that you screwed up!" "NO!" Since Adam and Eve, we are all screw-ups. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. . He knows every hair on your head, so he knows every sin. He felt that sin on the cross. Quit dumping these sins on Him! Surrender, confess and ask for forgiveness to the one that knew you in the belly and has chosen you since the foundation of the world. Do it now, because today is the day of your Salvation! Don't stay with the "deceiver".

November 8, 2025Let's address this. Since the ten commandments say, "no murder" and He knew you in the belly and you were chosen before the foundation of the world, then no suicide, no murder and no abortion. The government, your tribe, your city, your friends and family can say it's okay to do suicide or abortion, but they are all groups of sinners led by the "deceiver". (Of course not all of them as some are saved by Grace, but even Christians can be deceived on this issue.) Remember the Harlot of Babylon on the Beast came out of a sea of people (sinners)! There is only black or white, sinners or sinners saved by Grace (Jesus)!

Does your stubborn, and I mean stubborn free will tell you "that you don't want to be a slave to this God!" Yes, no matter what, "He owns you!" He created you and chose your steps in this world. You are His creation and you can surrender to that or stay with the "deceiver".
Remember "we see through a glass darkly and then face to face". I was born near sighted and everything was fuzzy. I had to have glasses to see. Really I couldn't live without my glasses and of course I couldn't drive without them. Also I have stigmatism which shows up in my artwork sometimes. My friend, Loni, started praying that I wouldn't have to have glasses. I told him that I was fine as I have glasses and we live in the "only 3 wishes era, and don't waste a wish". I felt other things to pray for would be better. Slowly I started seeing far away and everything started to be clearer over maybe 7 years and I would put the glasses down. Yes, I'm almost 20/20 now. That's us, someday, maybe in Heaven or even here, the fuzziness will seem so clear. So don't let that stubborn free will keep you from SURRENDER, CONFESS AND ASK FORGIVENESS as today is the day of YOUR Salvation!

November 8, 2025We should be like sunflowers whose face follows the sun from morning to night. In Spanish girasol means sun follower or sun mover. Everyday, 24/7, our face should follow the "Son" of God. Read the Bible, pray, turn on Christian music, sing Christian songs, go to church and spread the gospel (the good news). Make your life a living testimony! Remember "Onward Christian soldiers going as to war with the cross of Jesus going on before". Get your armor on daily and get your marching orders. Always thanking God for His loving kindness as we go to war with his 2-eged s"word", the word of God.
Remember Nature is God's Creation. There is no mother nature. We worship the creator, not the creation! Very important. Words tell on themselves. Nature is what is natural and was naturally started at creation in Genesis. Every living creature on this Earth was given the ability to reproduce itself mostly by a seed, even man. That seed at creation has naturally (nature) rolled on and on and on forever until now and will keep going on. All this was God's creation and He made it naturally go on and on, not mother nature. Only God is to be WORSHIPPED!

Salvation is so simple, it comes from a latin or spanish word "to save". God says eternal life will come from accepting His son's death and His blood sacrifice on the cross. Here are some words, "God, forgive my sins and I accept Jesus as my Savior". Eleven words to bring you to God, the father and heaven. See those words, save, Savior, salvation. Now that seems too easy! But it's "grace, grace, God's grace"! Remember, he is the boss and always will be the boss and He made it easy for you! God is mindful of your humanity and the war here on Earth with satan who has enmity with God. Remember Revelation 12 and the picture I did with the cross, "Jesus Saves". Should a baby stay with that first step or go on to grow up? The same goes with the one that said those 11 words to God. The baby in Christ has to grow up.
