Yvette's Whispers of Faith

Jeremiah 29: 11 KJV “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Truth be told I have been at loose ends lately, it is difficult to pinpoint but I am just going through so many emotions.  As a person, I like to feel that I am in control over my own life and destiny but truth be told I am not.  Why?  Well simply put, I am not God and no matter what I do, I just don’t have the ability to move things or circumstances. Perhaps you are facing a similar situation, you have gone through the motions and done what was needed to be done.  Now the wait, it is in my impatience that I find I truly become irritated.  Again, learning to deal with an emotion that I dislike totally.  Going forward is the only way.  God promised me that I would have an expected end.  I am sure life is full of interesting detours.  Now going forward I need the LORD to show me...

Isaiah 43: 18 – 19 (NIV) “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.” One thing I believe with all my heart and soul is that God’s word never comes back to Him void.  Whatever God said will return to Him fully.  You know that when I was a really young mother of three beautiful children we had to go through a really difficult time.  I look at my face in the mirror and wonder how did we ever get through those difficult times?  I let go of many of the hurt and pain that I endured, but I have also seen the disappointment and pain my own children still react to. Now, here I am taking God at His word.  God said to me Yvette, forget the former things, stop dwelling on the past.   Look, I am doing a new thing!  Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in...

Romans 5: 10 (NIV) “For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!” My old wounds are almost healed, I actually am dealing with past sins, and past hurts and I have spoken to the Lord God and I have repented from my sinful nature and I even have spoken to the people involved with some of the past transgressions in my life.  I am looking forward to a new life with the Lord Jesus Christ.  I have put these sins behind me and striving towards a better life with the Lord Jesus Christ. There was a time in my life where I completely discard all sense of propriety and just didn’t care anymore.  I must have lost my mind on the way but the truth be told that is exactly what I did. The whole fiasco was bringing me down and even making me feel less of a Christian than I may be able to confess.  Then on some strange and miraculous way, the ...

Luke 6: 45 (NIV) “The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart.  For out of the overflow of his heart, his mouth speaks.” You and I both know people are fickle and we all seem to carry around something that we just won't let go of.  The sad part in the story is that the longer you hold onto the destructive thought the more ingrained it becomes in your being.  You will be talking about all kind of interesting things and something will trigger off a feeling or hurt and before you know it, you will be poured over the pain and disappointment you felt and still feel.  Because your mind has a hard drive like your PC and you store up all the information and emotions in the hard drive.  Then on a day someone will click on the pause button and bam the hard drive is released and the information is running again.  You will be talking about the hardsh...

Ephesians 4: 26 – 27 NIV “In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.” I believe every one of us has to deal with “ anger ” in our own lives.  When watching the television it is clear we are living in an angry world.  There are violence and abuse against woman and children.  You see people are constantly angry about all kinds of things.  People want free education, they want everything handed to them, they believe that it is their right.  We are living in a time where people are constantly wanting more and more and are not willing to put anything towards whatever they want.  People take offense and are easily hurt and angry when you make a comment on something you have noticed.  Anger flares up and the person is holding on to it and you said something unbeknown to hurt or offend this person.  So who are you blaming for the angry feelings you are harboring right...

Book Review:         A Talent for Trouble Author:                 Jen Turano Personal Quality Rating:         4 Reviewed by:         Yvette van Niekerk Summary: After reading a Most Peculiar Circumstance I now have the privilege of continuing the read.  Keeping in mind the story is still in the 1800’s and this is a Historical Romance Novel.  Miss Felicia Murdock is so upset and feels that her life has come to a still stand because of the love of her life.  Reverend Michael Frazer has taken another bride.  She believes at the age of 25 she is doomed to becoming a spinster. Then the lives of Miss Felicia Murdock and Mr. Grayson Sumner become intertwined and what an explosion. This story is hilarious and once you start reading you actually don’t want to stop.  The quips in the book are...

Genesis 32:31 (MEV) 31  As he crossed over Peniel, the sun rose over him, and he was limping on his thigh. I believe it would be my attitude.  You do not know me and I actually do not want to explain myself to you.  Truth be told I really have to work hard on how I view people.  I do not know if my past has anything to do with my attitude but I am someone that is unscathed.  I never give up and I will fight tooth and nail for what I believe in. Looking at Jacob, even though he is the “deceiver” he was intentional about his own life.  The one thing that Jacob wanted to change was his “position” in his family.  So what did he do?  He went all the way taking Esau’s “birthright,” and to top it off he even received a blessing from his father that was meant for Esau. We see God and Jacob are wrestling and Jacob still is pushing forward, he knows what he wants and holds onto God. “I will not let you go unless y ou bless me.” Genesis ...

Psalm 7 verse 17 (TLB) “Oh, how grateful and thankful I am to the Lord because he is so good.  I will sing praise to the name of the Lord who is above all lords.” Sometimes we forget to say thank you, I believe we fall into the habit of just expecting things to come our way.  It is expected that people will treat you fairly and have good manners but if you don’t act in a similar fashion I am sure you are going to get a slap somewhere along the line. Saying thank you and please should be always in our mouths, we should never forget to use them when speaking to people, family, and friends.  Let’s look at this scenario:  Picture this, you are in a restaurant and the waitrons is standing in front of you waiting for your order.  You are in a bad mood.  You order “Bacon and Cheeze with fried onions.”  She heard Cheeze and fried onions.  She brings your order after about 20 minutes, you are fuming because it took so long and when she place...

Something that has been laying heavily on my heart and I want to share this with you, Yvette.  God said regardless of all the beatings and hurt that you endured, this only made you stronger.  The Lord said that “Yvette, you are precious to Him, all the pain you endured He saw it.  God is going to change all of that.  God said to remind you that He has already started the change can you see it?  Be reminded that you are precious to the Lord God and His love is going to be over your life.  Where people disregarded you and looked down on you, even your enemies are going to stand in amazement as they perceive God’s hand over your life.  God also is reminding you not to think “what is the use of all the things I am doing.”  He will reward you and not people.  The same spirit that was in Acts is going to come upon you and you are going to surprise many people.  Even when you cannot understand it yourself.”
