Yvette's Whispers of Faith

John 15:5  (KJV) “I am the vine, ye are the branches:  He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit:  for without me ye can do nothing.” John 1: 14 – 18 (KJV) “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, [and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father,] full of grace and truth.  John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, this was he of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me is preferred before me:  for he was before me.  And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.  For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.  No man hath seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.” Today I want to encourage you to turn back to the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  We seem to forget the full power we have in the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  What we do not realize is that God...

Acts 2:38-40 (ICB) 38  Peter said to them, “Change your hearts and lives and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  39  This promise is for you. It is also for your children and for all who are far away. It is for everyone the Lord our God calls to himself.” 40  Peter warned them with many other words. He begged them, “Save yourselves from the evil of today’s people!” I say we are too caught up in our own little worlds, we believe that we are capable of so much and that when times are difficult then we call on the Lord Jesus.  When nothing happens and we do not receive answered prayers we lose hope and start looking for new ways to get out of the mess we find ourselves in. In the International Children’s Bible we read that “change your hearts and lives and be baptized,”  the words that stood out for me is “change your hearts and lives.”...

Romans 12: 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will. Bless the Lord O, my soul, I want to learn to draw near to You Lord Jesus.  As I focus and read these word, please help me not to be conformed to the pattern of this world.  Please help me to be transformed by renewing my mind.  So that I will be able to test and approve what God's will is.  His good, pleasing and perfect will. Keep on reading your Bible and don't stop praying.  Please stand in agreement with me that God will open a door for my Mom and Oom Frik, they are in desperate need of accommodation. O Lord God, in Jesus Holy Name I pray asking Lord that You will open a door for a good secure place to live in Johannesburg.  Lord thank You for answered prayers.  I love You, Lord Jesus.  Amen

Psalm 37: 4 "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart." It has been a difficult - hard day for me.  I have been on my feet since 06:00 am this morning and tonight I feel I need to jump into bed and just sleep. Then I realize I have one priority and that is to delight myself in the Lord Jesus, He is my all in all, I so love and adore Him.  He is always there for me.  I want to take this time in worshiping the Lord, telling Him how much I love and adore Him. Lord, You are everything to me.  I love and adore You, with every beat of my heart.  Thank You for another day.  You are my all in all.  I praise and worship You.  Lord Jesus.

Exodus 25: 8 “ 8 Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them. ” God is dwelling among us right now.  I believe the minute we have received the Lord Jesus as our God and savior He comes into our lives, living within us.  We are set apart and we need to be reminded that God chose each one of us. Remember God called you by name, you are His.  We are sealed with the Holy Spirit and that makes each one of us different and Holy. It is my heart’s desire to draw near to God each and every day.  I want to become more and more like the Lord Jesus, and I know I have the ability.  My challenge is practicing and focusing on this each and every day.  I don’t want my relationship to be a religious practice and I don’t want to be someone doing everything out of habit.  My habits are almost set in stone, I stick to what I am used to. Over the weekend I received a word from God telling me to “Calm the storm!  Turn back to t...

Ephesians 1:13 Names of God Bible (NOG) 13  You heard and believed the message of truth, the Good News that he has saved you. In him, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit whom he promised. Well, are you sealed with the Holy Spirit?  I believe that when I received the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior, I received His stamp of approval and a mark showing that I am a child of God.  In the Holy Spirit, we are sealed and that is that.  Today so if you are worried about this, that or the other, relax and remember that you are a Child of the highest God.  You are covered by His seal by the Holy Spirit.  There is nothing that can stand against you because you are a person chosen by God. Think about it, it was no coincidence that you became a child of God.  God called you by name, He told you that you are His and guess what, God knows where you live.  God knows your every move and He knows your needs and will answer you when you pray...

Isaiah 51: 7 (NIV) 7  “Hear me, you who know what is right, you people who have my law in your hearts:  Do not fear the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults.” There was a time in my life that I used to be so fearful I even felt I could not leave my house.  The fear was so intense that I was even frightened to go into the garden. Fear overtook my thoughts and I was stuck in my own little world.  Crying and praying and crying I took my Bible and sat on my bed.  Tears pouring down my cheeks, I could hardly believe what my life had become. As I sat there and prayed asking the Lord to help me, my Bible fell open on Isaiah 51.  My eye caught verses 7 and I sat there reading the verse.  You see my problem was I could not find a job and it felt like my entire life was falling apart.  I tried everything I could to get my life on track. The key to my dissolving the fear I felt was as follows:  ·   ...

This is the day the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118: 24 Veering off my normal daily devotional today, I thought I would give you a glimpse into my world. We live in Mpumalanga and my goodness we get out of bed bright and early, at 06h00 am and then the day starts.  I never jump back into bed, I make the bed and then get started.  Its coffee and breakfast and then the kids are off to school and the husband is off to work.  So now you think I have the privilege of sitting around doing nothing.  I wish!  Long story short, I have a really mundane life and it entails washing and ironing and cleaning.  In between cooking as well and then I want to still do my blogs. Today I was researching music for my program and checking the formatting and getting my material read for Thursday’s hour.  Tell you what, it was a hair-raising moment every now and then.  I am so grateful that the Lord God has been...

Zephaniah 3: 17  “ The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save.  He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing .” What a Mighty God we serve, to think that the LORD our God is with us and he is mighty to save each one of us.  I am so awed by the thought that God takes great delight in us.  Which to mind means that He is happy with each one of us.  He is proud of us and is standing over us watching us.  You know when you start to feel uncertain and fearful and suddenly calmness comes over you that is when God is covering you with a quietness and His love is covering you.  The most important thing also to note is that God rejoices over you and with singing.  Let us not lose sight of our God, let us learn to speak positively and speak in line with Gods word.  Trusting and believing that God is faithful and that He cares for each one of us.  How awesome to...
