Lessons Learned

This evening I tried my hand at a Live video over Facebook, what an experience, first the lighting was terrible.  The sound was almost non-existent and the image was so blurred.

We also are experienced some really bad weather and I wonder if this didn't have anything to do with the broadcasting.

So, we changed the lighting and didn't think of the sound.

My next live video will be better, I just need to see why the video is so blurred.

Any advice?

Staying alive, the Bee Gee

Yvette, This is the song that best describes your photos. You have a powerful and enigmatic personality. You are tender, kind and compassionate and at the same time a total bad-ass to those who mess with you. You have a heart of gold that is precious and rare. 
You move ahead in life with the faith you have in God. You are confident, bold and courageous and slay all problems that come before you with these qualities of yours. You are truly invincible!. This song describes the personality you are and what you believe in life. Make sure you have this song on your playlist now to remind you of who you are. 

God is on my side, He wants me to receive the prize! I won't give up!

Hebrews 10: 35 – 36 (HCSB)

So don’t throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.  For you need endurance, so that after you have done God’s will, you may receive what was promised.”

What an awesome word this is “don’t throw away your confidence,” sometimes we lose ourselves in a moment of despair and we think “what is the use.”  I want to encourage you today, “don’t throw away your confidence.”  We are so blessed to have the privilege of reading the Bible, we can learn from it.  Taking each word into our hearts and minds.

God is awesome in creating a wonder and desire in our hearts for know more of God.  I believe without a doubt that the Lord God is on my side, He wants me to receive my prize.  I am working so hard and looking around knowing that God is on my side, who can stand against me?  No, I am not giving up, yes I am moving forward because “greater is He that is in me, than he who is in the world.”

I want to encourage you today, don’t forget God is on your side, He wants you to receive your prize!  Do not give up!

What is keeping you from your highest potential?

Psalm 42: 2 – 4 NIV “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.  When can I go and meet with God? My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”  These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go under the protection of the Mighty One to the house of God with shouts of joy and praise among the festive throng.”

We need to never go it alone because we need each other.

Life has it’s up’s and down’s and sometimes we feel frustrated and worried that we cannot make it, but God is there with you right now.   As I focus my attention of the thirsting in my own life for God, the living God.  I come to realize that we need to stay focused, we need each other to help us move forward.  Staying connected is what makes our lives better.  You say “Where is your God?” 

I say, Lord God here I am it seems that I cannot hear You today, I need You.  I know God is with me and that He watches over me.  I will shout for joy and I will praise the Lord my God among the festive throng.  Because I realize and know that I can come into His presence, He called my by my name, I belong to Him.

Be encouraged today and realize that God loved you so much that He gave His only begotten Son Jesus Christ for your life.  Praise God for His faithfulness and His grace and mercy is new every day.  Amen

God is going to crown my year!

Amen, I believe that the Lord God is going to crown my year.  Yes, it has been difficult and times have been tough but I believe that times are shifting and change has come.  I believe God's hand is resting on my life.  I feel positive and sure that now it the time for me.

2 Sam 7: 18-22 "Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?  And yet this was a small thing in Your sight.  O Lord God and You have also spoken of Your servant's house for a great while to come.  Is this the manner of man, O Lord God?  You, Lord God, know Your servant.  For Your word's sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all these great things, to make Your servant know them.  Therefore You are great, O Lord God, for there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You."

God is going to balance the books

God is about to surprise you with abundant blessing before the end of this

Month. He is about to change your financial situation.

Who is Christ?

Firstly Jesus Christ is called the Son of God - Ben Elohim.  So then how are we going to answer this question?  Let us look at some facts, we know that “son of man” depicts a person born of a human.  Then “son of God” depicts a person born of God.

When we look at Job 2 verse 1 “Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.”

It is clear that Satan in a sense must be a son of God, otherwise, he would not have presented himself to God.  Would you agree? 

The Lord Jesus Christ then must have had some kind of consciousness of being a Son of God.  This must have happened sometime during His youth.  This must have taken place around the age of 12 years when he told Mary and Joseph that He was doing the work of His Father in the temple and also that He was doing His Father business.

To confirm that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God lets take a look at Matthew 3 verse 17 “And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

And when Jesus was in the desert and Satan tried to test Him we know that the Lord Jesus resisted him.  Matthew 4 verse 3 “Now when the tempter came to Him, he said:  “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

Taking this a little further when Peter was asked who he though the Lord Jesus was he responded:  “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Matthew 16 verse 15 to 17 “He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”  Simon Peter answered and said:  “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”  Jesus answered and said to him:  “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.”

Then looking at Matthew 26 verse 63 to 65 “But Jesus kept silent.  And the high priest answered and said to Him:  “I put You under oath by the living God.  Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”  Jesus said to him:  “It is as you said.  Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”  Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying:  “He has spoken blasphemy!  What further need do we have of witnesses?  Look, now you have heard His blasphemy!”

We see that Jesus doesn’t say that He is the Son of the living God but agrees with the High Priest statement.  He could have defended Himself by saying that He was a son of God in the sense that all men are.  Then He was put under oath and then He declared His Deity, resulting in a death sentence.

Hello World, this Yvette’s Inspirations

Today, as I study the word of God, let's take a look at the following Romans chapter 8 verse 11 “And I the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through His Spirit who lives in you.”   Sometimes I forget that God is living right inside of me and then I worry about all kind of things.  This scripture just affirmed to me today that I don’t have to fear and that I can focus on God because He is within me.

1 John 4: 18 “There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment.  So then one who fears has not reached perfection in love.”  I am not fearful, really I believe God is with me and that He has given me wisdom, insight, and creativity to carry out my daily tasks.  Praise the Lord my God for being here with me right now.

I am trusting in God to help me with my creativity especially in my writing and my radio program.  Psalms 45 verse 1 “My heart is moved by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.”

Praise be to the Lord God.  Amen
