Artist Statement:
On March 23, 2001 during a
season of personal trials I
cried out to God, asking the
Lord for a blessing. Two days
passed--my prayer was
answered. Little did I know
that the pencil sketch I drew
of Jesus Christ was the
foundation of the blessing.
Prior to that date I never
ever drew or exhibited any
kind of liking, trained skill
or natural talent for art or
drawing. Born Again just
Forty-two days before my
prayer request I knew that God
was about to change my life.
He had something better
planned for me. Each drawing
is a testimony to the living,
true and always faithful God
of the Holy Bible.

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Well now. Listen. Carefully. Do you believe in the God of the HOLY BIBLE. Well I prayed to God (always believed myself) for a blessing. I was in a deep dark place in my life. He gave me that blessing in just two days. This artwork and therefore the Artist name "Simon ByGod". I want YOU to believe also. Jesus is the answer not the condemner but the Savior. Have problems take them to Jesus Christ. How? Give me a call I will help you. |

The BORN AGAIN Testimony
Artist Statement for Dennis Edward Simon
'Everything for me changed on 2/10/01, the past, all of it, became the past. The Unforgiveness, Lack of Trust, all of it vaporized; a New Beginning, filled with Joy, Zealous I wanted to share this with a human being I love, I wanted to talk, not to convince but to offer! I never got the chance!'
A true and life-long story of protection by God (Yahweh, the God of Israel, the only Living God, the only Real God, the God of the Holy Bible), His Son (Jesus Christ, God himself in the flesh) and the Holy Spirit (The Being Inside,God the Person)! Playing itself through various 'scenes', like a true life novel. Early life ministry bound I fell away from God's true direction for thirty-three years and.... THEN
Taking the fall. I fell hard; falling, falling deeper and deeper into a SINFUL pit on 2/10/98. OH, the whispers of the Spirit during, even before, warning; I heard but did not listen. The sin season, CONVICTION came equally as deep, very deep...EXACTLY
Three years to the day 2/10/01 the Spirit caught me, captured me, stopped me from my thirty-three year flight from the living God, YES, the real God so rich in his mercy, so full of the grace, he drew me to him (I thought I made the choice, but NO I came to understand that he is the one who chooses, I claim nothing, it was him; it was and is real)...AND
A gift of love from the creator. I was SWEPT AWAY into a completely free born again life. True LOVE found me, to improve me and teach me, he tested me immediately and in less than twenty days I found myself persecuted, not overly different then the small framed, bowed legged, bony, wrinkled, bushy eye browed man called Paul. I could and did say, they all deserted me, betrayed by loved ones, all of my friends, even many of the family and certainly those accusing, I say now as I said then, God hold it not against them,... BUT
GOD, CHRIST, SPIRIT was there, HE did NOT desert me, NO, NO, he was no deserter, betrayer, liar,-- I cried out literally to Jesus, arms stretching towards the only light available, a thin slotted window of thick glaze, I CRIED OUT!...THEN
On March 23rd, 2001 in the midst of these days, this season of trials and tribulation, when I plead guilty to my sin(s), innocent of this world, but guilty as sin, I PRAYED for a blessing. The gall of me, a sinner, imprisoned by my sin--praying for a miracle, someone to rescue me, anything. No one came, I was alone, naked, cold and confused, emotionally depressed. Just two days passed and our God Jehovah answered...SENDING
The Artwork you can view on this site is a gift from God, the blessing. God in his mysterious ways provided for me, sending comfort and a entirely new skill. Each drawing is signed 'Simon ByGod'. A miracle, you see--I NEVER EVER, NEVER HAD DRAWN OR EXHIBIT ANY ARTISTIC SKILLS BEFORE THAT DATE!! IS THIS NOT TESTIMONY TO A LIVING GOD WHO LOVES ONE EVEN IN SIN?
HOW God has worked in my life, since this great personal event and PLEASE
Would you pray, would you please, to God the Almighty, Pray the prayer called 'Anne's Prayer'
Dear OUR Father in Heaven, you are the wonderful and mighty creator who sent Jesus Christ, Savior of this World, and saved me from my sins. I pray this day you reach down with your mighty right hand, this very hour, minute, this very second and touch the heart of Anne. Bring her to you Oh, God so that she becomes a new creation. I pray she develops a personal relationship with you in coming to know Jesus Christ. She will come to you a sinner, show her your grace so my dear Anne accepts your complete forgiveness and becomes steadfast in leading a Christian life, a new belief in Jesus as her personal Savior. In the name of Jesus. Amen
Update: For purposes deep from the heart. Alive again exactly to the day the Lord reached down and provided on this very day 3/1/06, and again five years to the day that the trials, the imprisonment of sin, the day the testing began. He knew he recognized the need, the real desires of this believers heart. A path while unclear may have been opened by the closing of one chapter and opening of another. I move ahead with faith and trust, leaving all to his will. I AM alive in the Lord Jesus Christ, not of this world, but living it and with the testimony of life.
