Yvette's Whispers of Faith

I have made a mental decision that I am going to succeed at everything I do because God has already determined my destiny.   I have been thinking about how negatively I have been living for almost my entire life.   Today I have decided that I am not going to make the same mistake twice.    I will be a success as I believe God has ordained it for me, for you and for all of us who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. God has a definite purpose for my life and I aim to find out what it is and work towards it.   God is my architect and He is building my life, stage-by-stage.   With God’s word in my hand and me on my knees I am sure that I can find out what, where and whom I am supposed to be. Reading my daily devotion I have taken something away from it that I am built to become more than I anticipated and I want to be efficient and I want to use my whole being in becoming a fully developed Christian. My past was very trying and I cried so m...

Darlings how awesome is our Lord God, lets focus on God’s word today and see what He is telling us in Isaiah 43: 25 lets read this ‘I (God), even I (God), am he (God) who blots our your (me/you) transgressions, for my(God) own sake, and remembers your (me/you) sins no more.’ Add caption Wow, now as far as I can see God is telling me and you today that God is blotting out my/your transgressions!   So what are transgressions?   It could be something you did wrong, or a disobedience, or offenses?   Now God is stating that He is doing this for His (God’s) own sake, and believe it or not He (God) is forgetting your sins. How awesome is our God, the things we did wrong and we have confessed them to Him in humble prayer or confessions.   God heard them and is saying to you and me – He is blotting them out for God’s own sake!!!!    A quote I read early this morning ‘When in doubt, choose change.’   I believe that if you are doubti...

In the hands of the Potter I am the clay Lord and You are the Potter Life it seems is very difficult and painful You are forming me and shaping me Tears run down my cheeks, help it hurts! Be still my child, I know what I am doing. Lord please I am trying but I seem to be failing. The Potter is molding this in to something beautifull Be still my child, I know what I am doing. Help me not to resist You today Lord Guide me and show me the way forward The bending and twisting of my life is excruciating! I want to fight back and make it go away. Be still my child, I know what I am doing. I don’t know when I would be as beautiful as You Help me stay focused on You Lord! Father God in Jesus Christ’s Name I trust You Completely!!!!

Now I must tell you about this young lad, he is a cute young teenager, 13 to be exact.   He is in Grade 7 and the little girls adore him.   He is friendly, helpful and kind-hearted.     Pieter needed me to bake a cake for school and I gave it my best shot.   I baked two cakes for the lad, one was with the theme of cars and the other with a couple of spiders.   We are going to take these two cakes to school and see how the children enjoy them. In Pieter’s class there are 37 children, so I literal take my hat off for the teachers.   School seems to be fund right now and I am glad to say that Pieter changed his mind about mathematics; he seems to be putting in the effort.    His dad bought him a blackberry as a birthday and I got him a dog chain with a nice Christian verse on as well as a couple of shirts. I am sure Pieter is looking forward to today as he will be the main man around school tod...

Daniel looked at the King and said ‘O king, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness and glory and splendour.   Because of the high position he gave him, all the people and nations and men of every language dreaded and feared him.   Those the king wanted to put to death, he put to death; those he wanted to spare, he spared; those he wanted to promote, he promoted; and those he wanted to humble, he humbled.   But when his heart became arrogant and hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and stripped of his glory.   He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like cattle; and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and sets over them anyone he washes.’ The king gassed at Daniel and listened as Daniel continued to speak. ‘But you his son, O Belshazzar, h...
