Yvette's Whispers of Faith

Good morning, today I want to talk about ‘how can I activate the powerhouse of God, within me?’ So what do I mean? Well, how can I cooperate with the Holy Spirit and become a Samson or even an Elijah? I know wishful thinking. The truth is I have been focusing on my problem and not on God's Word. Samson Samson today would be the guy going to the gym, eating healthily every day and part of his day meditating on God's Word. Judges 15: 14 – 16 “When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came to meet him shouting. The Spirit of the LORD came powerfully on him, and the ropes that were on his arms and wrists became like burnt flax and fell off. He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand took it and killed a thousand men with it. Then Samson said: with the jawbone of a donkey I have piled them in heaps. With the jawbone of a donkey I have killed a thousand men.” Samson was an ordinary guy the extraordinary was the powerhouse of God within him. The Holy Spirit came powerfull...

18 December 2022 Salvation LORD, today I want to pray for the salvation of Gizel, Anabelle, Briana, Cuba and Devan. LORD, I want to ask you to guide them as they make choices that have eternal consequences. LORD, let them claim the Lord Jesus Christ as their saviour. Help them walk with you during their lives. Let them come to love and know you more. May they develop a relationship with you, and please straighten the path ahead of them. Let there be moments in their lives that they can pinpoint and say: “the Lord help me here.” In the name of Jesus Christ Amen

December 17, 2022 Respect for Authority Good morning, today I want to dedicate my grandchildren to God’s hand. Lord, today I want to pray that Gizel, Anabelle, Briana, Cuba and Devan have respect for authority. Lord instil a high regard for our government and law enforcers. May they also enjoy a great relationship with their parents, teachers and coaches? When they start work, may they have a good relationship with their bosses and managers? In Jesus's name, amen.

16 December 2022 Good morning, let's pray for our grandchildren. Today I want to pray for the friends they make. Loving heavenly Father, I want to pray for Gizel, Anabelle, Briana, Cuba and Devan. Lord, I pray for friends who will love and encourage my grandchildren. May they enjoy the good times and bring laughter to my grandchildren. And in any division Lord, I pray You will drive out the wedge of division and bring healing. Lord give them wisdom, understanding and discernment. If there are cliques make them aware of it and keep them from dangerous or foolish behaviour. So they may avoid any harm to themselves or their friends. Fill each child’s life today with close and caring relationships. In Jesus Christ's name amen.

Good morning, today I want to think about my children and also my family's children. Finding the perfect marriage partner is key to a happy and healthy marriage. I know from experience life is hard at times and when there is no trust the marriage fails. I have been thinking about this for some time, it’s important to pray for our adult children. Let them find the perfect marriage partner. I know my youngest son has a specific wife in mind. He has placed the bar high, and the woman he wants to marry needs to fit into this category. My nephew asked me to pray for a good, loving wife. He wants someone who will appreciate and love him for who he is. I declare and pray for love, understanding, peace and kindness in my niece's marriage. The necessary trust, devotion and understanding for each other. Then my two stepchildren need to find marriage partners. I know my stepson wants someone who will understand and love him. My stepdaughter, if she wants to marry let it be, if she ...

by Yvette van Niekerk December 15, 2022 Good morning, today I want to pray for Gizel, Anabelle and Briana my beautiful granddaughters. Lord may each granddaughter of mine stand firm for what is right, give them the courage they need to face today. Help them guard the truth and see justice in every aspect of life. Lord please gives them the ability to stand in grace. Let them revere Your name and be proud to proclaim You are Lord of lords and King of kings. In Jesus's name, we pray, Amen

December 14, 2022 Good morning, I want to pray for my granddaughters Gizel, Anabelle and Briana. Emotional development is so important in life. Father God, You know each girl, and I know You are the Creator of our bodies and mind. Lord create in Gizel, Anabelle and Briana the ability to deal with emotions. Strengthen them today if they feel confused, give them clarity of mind help them focus. We all face dark times, and should this arise at any time in their lives I pray give them hope for the future. Lord, let Your Holy Spirit fill them today, as a ray of sunlight shine over them and keep them safe. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

Good morning, the question that is laying heavily on my heart today is “Who am I to be today?” When I was going to bed last night I was contemplating revenge. I am so angry about a situation in my life right now. I thought okay, let’s me see “don’t get mad, get even.” This morning I woke up, sat down and started my prayers. I started off praying for my granddaughters asking God to give them courage and let them seek mercy. I was also thinking let the Lord teach them grace and peace in their lives. How can I be so angry and keep revenge in my heart? Of course, I will let it go. Thinking about my thoughts, of taking revenge I realised this is going to turn me into an old hag. So that brings me to ‘who am I to be today?’ Right now I know that I am supposed to be a gracious forgiving person. I know that I am to let go, and let God. So I have decided to trust in God. Lord, my prayer is simple and I want to pray that You O God, will vindicate me. Please will you plead my cause against ...

by Yvette van Niekerk December 13, 2022 Good morning, I want to pray for my granddaughters Gizel, Anabelle and Briana. Father God, I want to pray for my granddaughters. You know the world is pressing in and tempting each child, in so many ways. Lord, I want to pray to ask for help for each girl to set boundaries, for their protection. Lord, I am asking that You give each girl a sound judgment to choose wisely. Lord, guard them against temptation; and please protect them from physical and mental predators. Lord, lead my granddaughter into paths of righteousness and light. Lord reassures me with Your promises that You are holding each girl in Your hands today. In Jesus Christ’s name, I pray. Amen

by Yvette van Niekerk Good morning, Today I want to speak to you about meditation. It’s something that has been weighing heavy on my heart these past few months. What is meditation? Meditation is when you read something – the Word of God. Then you start to take it into your heart in a very personal way. Now after taking it into your heart, apply it to your daily life. Apply God’s Word in my life, I am reading the Word and when it comes to the scripture about blessing and prosperity. I say “Amen, Hallelujah! I take that Word from God. He says that He will meet all my needs, according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Read Philippians 4 verse 19. I am expecting Him to do that in my life. For a long time, I have been reading God’s Word, the Bible like any other book. But the last couple of days I have thought about it and decided to see what I can learn. I also am thinking it's Words from God, speaking to me each day. What is God saying to me? I am starting to realise that ...

by Yvette van Niekerk Good morning The past couple of days, moments are coming up in every conversation. We do remember moments in our lives. I started to think of defining moments in my own life. The day each one of my children was born. I think about the day I decided to divorce my husband. I think about the day I remarried. I think about moments of desperation and fear that gripped my heart to the extent that I was sure that I might have a heart attack. Something I have come to realise the little things we do in life prepares us for something greater. I think of the day I decided to start baking. To be honest I didn’t know much about baking but I thought to myself if so and so can bake then so can I. My first cake was very large, I was so proud of myself. I thought I did a great job. Only to discover the cake didn’t have a nice taste, it could have been baked bread. Tasteless, the icing sugar could have been spiced up. In general, the cake looks good for a novice but the cake m...

December 12, 2022 Today I want to pray for my Granddaughters, Gizel, Anabelle and Briana. O Lord my God, Lord today I want to praise your for my beautiful granddaughters … You created them as unique individuals. I want to pray asking You to help them appreciate their uniqueness. Lord, my Lord build up their self-image so they may enjoy their individuality. Lord as they go through today help them stand firm for who they are, where they have come from and what they believe in. Lord please encourage them not only to have hopes and dreams but to also enjoy each day as it come. In the Holy Name of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen

by Yvette van Niekerk Good morning it's been a while since we last chatted. This morning I want to come and sit at the Lord's feet. In His presence, I want to humble my life and ways. How about you? Would you agree the best way to maintain a good and humble heart is to study God's Word every day? We do this as we read and meditate on the Lord's Word. Getting into the habit of worship and praise. Have you read Matthew 13: 10 - 15? Let's take a moment and see what the Lord Jesus is telling His disciple. verses 10: "And the disciples came and said to Him, 'Why do You speak to the people in parables?' He answered them and said to them, 'The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even that he has will be taken from him. .... In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says " Hearing you will hear...
