Yvette's Whispers of Faith

Today I was totally intrigued by what I was hearing from my colleagues at work.   It seems that ‘Witch craft’ is alive and well in our day and age. As I listen to her story my mouth hangs open.   She said her uncle was married to her aunt and there was a younger woman that was totally smitten with her uncle.   This young woman went to the Sam Goma and asked him for a spell called ‘Bheka mina ngedwa’ – ‘Only look at me’.   This woman used the potion and my friend’s uncle started perusing this young woman.   His wife tried to save their marriage but to no avail.   He divorced her and paid ‘labola’ to marry this young woman.   This man was a high ranking Police official and work in Pretoria.   The young woman was worried that he may start looking around and went back to the Sam Goma to renew the potion.    The result for the uncle was devastation; he was so fixated on the young wife that he would follow her all around t...

Proverbs 3:1-2 Lexham English Bible (LEB) Wisdom and Piety 3 My child, do not forget my instruction,     and may your heart guard my commands. 2  For length of days, years of life,     and peace they shall add to you. As I meditate and focus on these words of wisdom and piety I want to encourage you today.   The Lord God reminds us to keep His instructions and we must guard His commands with our hearts.   This will increase our day and add years to our life with peace in our lives. Each person is aging day by day we cannot stop the process but once you have become a Christian and have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into your life, you will become younger through the Holy Spirit.   The Holy Spirit renews each of us from within. I want to praise God and thank Him for the knowledge and the renewing of my mind.   I know that I am nothing without God.   I remind you and myself today ‘If ...

Hebrews 11:21 Lexham English Bible (LEB) 21  By faith Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.  In faith today I want to bless each one of my own children.   I have been blessed with three beautiful, successful and talented children of my own.   I also have the responsibility of taking care of two step children. I am not dying, thank goodness but it is my heart’s desire that each of my children will be blessed and be a blessing in the future.   May the Lord God Almighty bless each of my children and stepchildren and keep them.   Lord God Almighty will make shine His face on you and be gracious to you; Lord God Almighty will lift up His face upon you, and He will give you peace.   May the Lord God Almighty put His name on each of my children, and God Lord Almighty will bless them. Prayer Abba Father, I am not dying but in my living life I do want to appea...

Attitude meter My dad always used to say ‘ your attitude determine your altitude ’ and that is so true, if you have a bad attitude it will bring you down from where you find yourself.   You just cannot do things and are in an impossible mood.   You cannot focus and life seems to be too difficult to deal with. Watching a TV drama they showed how the pilot of the plain tried to level the plain according to the ‘attitude meter’.   While watching this it reminded me that each and every day we need to level out our attitudes.   You need to have some sort of balance in your own life.   No one can be chirpy all day long, it just isn’t natural (I would start wondering what’s the person taking). How do I level out my attitude? 1                  Balance in life is important and I believe in starting my day right, with prayer and focusing on my daily word for the d...

Job 3: 25 Young’s Literal Translation 25 For a fear I feared and it meeteth me, And what I was afraid of doth come to me. I watch people and I love to think that it is well with all people, I look at the way they walk and talk and it makes me believe that they actually don’t have a care in the world.   How totally wrong!   Of course each of us are facing some difficulty, there could be someone sick at home, or financial crisis.   But we have the ability to hide our emotions and looking in from the outside it seems well with my soul. I also used to say ‘ the thing you hate the most will come upon you ’ and it actually did.   Drugs are something I despised and the sad part it destroyed my family.   The person that was involved with drugs didn’t come to realize the destruction he caused.      Sadly we cannot turn back time and go and fix our mistakes, we all have learned from this destructive mechanism and since moved on. ...
