Yvette's Whispers of Faith

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...

The palace is a buzz there are noblemen all over the place, I am hoping to find a seat as close to King Belshazzar as possible.   Being here today is such a great honour.   As I take my seat I am watching the King and his wives’ laughing and drinking wine.    ‘Bring me the gold and silver goblets that my father King Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple of God in Jerusalem, we want to drink out of them.’   King Belshazzar called out to one of the slave girls.   The goblets were brought into the banqueting hall, placed before the King and the noblemen.    ‘Pour the wine, praises to the gods of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood and stone.’ Laughing the King took the goblet in his hand and drank the wine from the gold goblet placed before him.   While the king was still drinking his wine suddenly a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace.    The king was watc...

Good morning Darlings if there is one movie that I absolutely love then I need to say it is the Gladiator.   Russell Crowe of course is one of the people I really and truly admire.   The movie as you will recall was about General Maximus Decimus Meridius who lead the Roman army to a decisive victory against Germanic tribes at Vindobona.   Maximus was a fierce and determined gladiator; he lost everything and didn’t fear death.   The thing I like about this story is that this character had integrity even in the most horrendous circumstances.   He stood out among the other captives and he still took a stand.   Darlings let us also take a stand for the Lord Jesus Christ and let us focus our attention on God and be courageous as Maximus and put the full armour of God on as we face today. See Ephesians 6: 10 – 18 I really like the Amplified Bible.    Father God today I want to put the whole armour of God on as a soldier in Your army, so th...

Daniel 2: 19 – 23 During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision.   Then Daniel praised the God of heaven and said: ‘Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; Wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; He sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; He knows what lies in darkness, And light dwells with him. I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers: You have made known to me what we asked of you, You have made known to us the dream of the king.’ When studying the word of God this morning I read my daily reading in Daniel this morning and as I was feeling a downcast and without hope I read these words and it made sense to me.   I redirected my focus and took it off myself and turned it back to the Lord my God.   Reading the first two books of Daniel and seeing that our God revealed to Daniel the Kings dream.   What...

2 Corinthians 12: 10 ‘That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.   For when I am weak, then I am strong.’ Good morning Darlings this morning I got such a fright, I was taking my children to school and as I stopped at the stop street a Taxi with school children in it bumped into me.   The road was too busy to just get out and confront the man so I had to drive to school and drop off my child.   On getting there I got out of my car and confronted the man.   He said something in his language and pointed his finger at me.   I asked him what was wrong with him and if he was drunk?   Did he not notice he was driving children around in his Taxi?   He jumped back into his Taxi and speed off. This brought me down to earth, I realised that if he was driving any faster he would have crashed into us and it would have been an extremely ugly accident.   I am just glad tha...
