Yvette's Whispers of Faith

Mark 16: 6 And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. I think the most awesome experience for the ladies Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome was when they were going to pay their last respects to the Lord Jesus.   As I read these words I noticed that they went and bought spices so that they might go and anoint Jesus’s body.   It was a natural ritual for the people of that time.    Can you imagine going to the grave and finding the huge rock had been removed from the entrance?   I think if it was me I would have rushed in to see what had happened.   Supposedly they did rush in and to find a man sitting on the right waiting for them.   I would have jump out of my skin if I saw him.    He looked at them probably smiled and said to them : ‘Don’t be scared, are you looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who ...

1 Peter 1: 7 The Voice (VOICE) 7  Suffering tests your faith which is more valuable than gold (remember that gold, although it is perishable, is tested by fire) so that if it is found genuine, you can receive praise, honor, and glory when Jesus the Anointed, our Liberating King, is revealed at last. As I read 1 Peter 1 I realize that we are just traveling through this life, we are on our way towards something greater.   We are preparing ourselves for a better, brighter life in heave.   We don’t realise it but we are not going to live here on earth for ever. Through suffering our faith is being tested and according to Peter it is more valuable than gold “(remember that gold, although it is perishable, is tested by fire)”.   Now I know when you go through trials and are facing grueling difficulties I don’t think you feel that this is a test of your faith.   As for myself I realize that each time I need to face a difficult situation it is part of my l...

As I meditate on the Word of God I have come to a point in my life where I need to make a decision about what it is that I want out of this life.  You don’t know but I have been struggling with my temper and I have to really work at not being angry. Breaking point I need to end this self-destructive attitude or it will destroy my whole life.  I sat on my bed the other evening and I just said “Lord God help me.”  The next day I read these words and have come to realise that I am at fault, I need to repent and ask the Lord God to heal my broken heart and heal my spirit.  1 Peter 2: 1 So be done with every trace of wickedness (depravity, malignity) and all deceit and insincerity (pretence, hypocrisy) and grudges (envy, jealousy) and slander and evil speaking of every kind.   I realised that I was constantly saying bad things, not considering people’s feelings and being just plain mean.  I didn’t want anything good to go their way.  I was const...

If you look at me and my size you probably would not even consider that I suffer with a really bad temper.    The problem I face is before I realize it I have ‘Lost it’ completely.   People I know who enjoy upsetting me make it even more difficult to watch myself. Of course you think ha, that’s not difficult ignore them.   The thing is they seem to detect the days when I am not at my best.   Those days I completely ‘fly off the handle’.   Then they have the cheek to get upset and feel hurt when I explode. So I have no resorted to studying the Bible in more depth, focusing my time and energy on verse to help me cope.  Proverbs 20: 3 ‘It is honorable to back off from a fight, but fools jump right in.’ The problem is I am not afraid and when challenged I step up and am always ready.   So no to change my thinking, take a deep breath and pick my fights; how to cope with this situation?  Proverbs 19: 11 ‘Insightful peopl...

Giants in my own life are aging, finding a good paying job and being able to look good and feel good about myself.   Facing the fact that I am growing older and that I cannot do the things I used to do and maintaining it, I tell you it freaks me out at time. I look at people and I think everybody seems to be doing just fine, I doubt they go through any of the things I do.   It seems that each person has wonderful days, wonderful lives, wonderful jobs, wonderful friends and family and not to mention great very great lives. Today is my day of moaning I feel down, I feel yucky and miserable, I feel lonely and I feel sick, my stomach isn’t right.   The pessimist in me is much stronger than ever today. I have been praying and fasting for people in my life and today it seems I just cannot lift myself up, I think I might be tired and because of that I feel yucky. I want to change my point of view but right now, I just cannot stay focused and I feel that I am...

http://www.budget-insurance. co.za/2015-get-best-year Do you think I got it right this time?

I am still in a job and will be for the next year, this is my confession for this abundant year 2015.  I confess and believe that the Lord God is in control and that I am able to secure a job this year.  Praise and honor to His Great and Holy, Holy, Holy name. I want to wish you a wonderful and supernaturally blessed year too, I want to encourage you to keep on praying and seeking the Lord with all your heart.  God is able to open the right doors at the right time. Jeremiah 17: 7-8 ' Blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence.  They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water.  Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought.  Their leaves stay green and they never stop producing fruit.' Taking up this challenge of staying in the Lord is my quest this year and I am going to do whatever it take to say in HIM. Blessings a...
