Yvette's Whispers of Faith

Psalm 84: 11 AMP “For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows grace and favour and honour; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” I have come to realise that God is with me each and every day. I don’t always see Him and feel His presence.  I do however believe He is with me. I am thinking of  Moses when he saw the burning bush and the LORD spoke to him “for the place where you stand is holy ground.” I was standing in church yesterday and realized that God was with me in church and the ground I was standing on was Holy ground. I read that AW Tozer wrote “God is above, but He’s not pushed up.  He’s beneath, but He’s not pressed down.  He’s outside, but He’s not excluded. He’s inside, but He’s not confined.  God is above all things presiding, beneath all things sustaining, outside all things embracing, and inside all things fulfilling.” I take comfort in these words because I believe God is with me regardl...

Psalm 19: 12 – 14 AMPC “Who can discern his lapses and errors? Clear me from hidden [and unconscious] faults. Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then shall I be blameless, and I shall be innocent and clear of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my [firm, impenetrable] Rock and my Redeemer.” I have come to a place in my life confessing “known as well as unknown sins” before God. I don’t want to come with this attitude that I am blameless, I do not believe that I can even say that I am blameless, I think there are attitudes and sins in my life that I know of and others I might not even be aware of. Prayer Lord create in me a clean heart and a pure spirit. Help me confess my sins known as well as unknown sins. Please Lord help me draw near to You, cleanse me Lord in Jesus Christ name. Amen Inspired by today’s devotion? Share ...

Psalm 118: 24 AMP “This [day in which God has saved me] is the day which the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Good Morning Sunshine! Today is a beautiful sunny day here in South Africa, Mpumalanga.   This morning before my alarm went off; I was laying thinking about the LORD.   I checked my cell phone and it was out of battery.   I checked my tablet and saw that it was just after 4 am. I started my day reading God's Word and thinking about the gifts I have received from God for today. God is so good and so mighty. I cannot see myself without Him. My life would be meaningless. God has blessed me with great weekends. I work to 12 o’clock and then we are on our way home. My weekend starts early. I have time to do what I please and enjoy a lovely sunny day. Praising You LORD, Jesus, I love You Jesus. My soul is in Your hands. I cannot see myself standing on my own. I am thinking of the drive home. Passing all the farm fields and the be...

Romans 13: 11 – 12 AMP “Do this, knowing that this is a critical time.  It is already the hour for you to awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency]; for our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed [in Christ].  The night [this present evil age] is almost gone and the day [of Christ’s return] is almost here.  So let us filing away the works of darkness and put on the [full] armour of light.” Repent, I am calling you to repent of your sins and call on the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, you may have stolen, you may have murder, you may have lied, whatever your sin. I am calling you to repent today! If you are angry with someone today forgive them, speak to them and let the offence go. Love your brothers and sisters. Learn to appreciate each other and realize the hour is coming. Have you noticed have quick time is moving these days? It was January just the other day and look we are almost into November.  Job chapter 9 verse...

Romans 14: 12 AMP “So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.” I get so irritated when I know someone is shirking their responsibilities.  Posing the quest "why haven't you done this?"  Their response is "I do not know." The sad part is they keep on getting away with "I do not know."  It makes me angry but then I read that we all are going to give an account of our own lives to God. I have also noticed that when in a tight spot this person will start blaming the next person.  I was under the impression that so and so, was going to do this and that.  When in fact it was this person's job. How do I deal with them?  Well, I do get angry and try and make them do whatever but it rarely works.  They manage to get out of this position. I believe they are good at manipulating the matter and me for one. Taking responsibility for their actions is not something they deal with.  In the end, I will do whatever or ...
