Yvette's Whispers of Faith

The frost covered lawn    the trees - bare no leaves      the water frozen in the pond Walking across the lawn   with the frost at my feet      with the cracking of ice Cold feelings rush up my legs   chills come down my back     crying out for some warmth  Lord Jesus hear my cry   lend a hand to my plight   lost and alone I stand The trees bear no leaves   the bark is dark    the doves watches from on high A slight breeze between the branches   a shivering chill down my back     a small voice behind me, “Here I am” The Lord spoke to me - softly   the world seems brighter    the sun peeps through the clouds   poem by  Yvette van Niekerk

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Heb. 13:8 Great and majestic is my Lord.   The Lord is my shield I can go to Him in my hour of need.   The Lord God will protect me and keep me safe.   The Lord God gave His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for my sins.   LORD God You are awesome and wonderful.   I live and breathe because of You I am so honoured to come into Your presence in awe I stand before You this morning.   I give You thanks and praise Your name for all You have done in my life.   Lord You are my King and my God.   I dedicate my life back into Your hands today.   I praise Your Name.   For Lord Your word states that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.   How awesome is that Lord that we may come to You because of Your Son Jesus Christ. By the Blood of Jesus Christ we are saved.   We may enter Your courts with thanks giving in our hearts and praise in our mou...

‘ If you love me, you will obey my commandments .’ John 14: 15 In humility I come before the Lord God and I stand and accept the commandments in humble obedience to my Lord Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour.   I also declare and state that I love the Lord my God with all my heart, body and soul.    I find myself in the wilderness, I entrust my life into the hands of the Lord my God.   I believe that I am the head and not the tail.   I declare that I am the righteousness of God in Christ.   I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins and that He rose from the dead in 3 days.   I have eternal life and I can stand before the Lord God through Jesus Christ. In humility I ask Lord search my heart and mind and help me to repent of any sin that may be within me that which I am aware of as well as that which I do not know of.   I declare Psalm 145: 9 ‘The LORD is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works.’   I beli...

‘I am the first, the last, the only God; there is no other god but Me.’ Isaiah 44: 6 Thinking about this the Lord God was the first, is the last and the only God on this earth.   I don’t believe we really can understand the greatness of our true God.   Tonight it is my desire to draw near to the Lord God and become more and more like the Lord.   God sent His only begotten son Jesus Christ to die on the Cross for our sins. Thinking back to a time in the early days of the year 2000 my ex-husband and I with our three children were invited to attend act of a hypnotizer.    The poor man just could not get the people go under and from the stage he walked straight to me and said ‘Stop praying, this isn’t a evil thing I am doing.   It’s just for fun and we don’t want to harm you or anybody else.’   I was shocked at this reaction and couldn’t believe his outburst.   The fact of the matter is that the magician wasn’t able to get the people to go under...

A Mindset of Greatness

Witbank News, Friday 15 June 2012, Berta and Yvette I must tell you I have moved to Witbank and am living here about two years and this is a tight knit community.   You don’t just make friends with the people around here.   Nevertheless I made a friend one evening while I was attending a Karate Grading for the children.   My new friend Berta van der Spuy was outside in the cold just like me waiting for her grandson.   We started to chat as I invited her to take a seat next to me on the bench before one of the large windows looking into the Dojo.   Well we talked about all kinds of events and the things the kids got up to.   She invited me to go and visit her at her Clinic.   I decided to pop around her place one morning and then she said to me would you like to join us for a ‘Pyjama Party’.   I said sure I can make a plan with the kids and come along.    So it was arranged my husband works most weekends and would not be hom...
