Yvette's Whispers of Faith

1 Samuel 7: 12 Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us. This year was a difficult year and I am grateful that it is the last day of the year.   At least I can embrace a new year.   The anticipation of the unknown has always been frightening to me but this time I am going to embrace the unknown and trust in the Lord my God. I don’t want to stand on my own independence and I won’t stand alone this year I will be down on my knees and I will be standing before the Lord my God.   Praying and trusting in Him.    God has been with me this past year and I can trust and know that the New Year will even be greater. God bless you and have a good one!!

2 Thess. 3 : 1 - 2 ‘Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honoured, as happened among you, and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men.   For not all have faith.’ In America the people celebrated Thanksgiving, we are preparing for Christmas.   The festive season has already started in October, the shops are working on the peoples nervous with all the beautiful Christmas decorations.  Bless the following people Tannie Bertha, Oom Cobus, Alisha, Anke, Siphiwe, Charlotte, Thea, Lida, Jack and Ronald.   Lord I pray for a revival in each person’s personal life.   I pray that You will touch their lives with You hand draw them near to You.   Lord I dedicate each one of them into Your hands this Christmas and I pray for peace, happiness and supernatural favour with You Lord as well as with man.   Lord I want to ask that You Lord will bless them financially and make their dreams come true.  ...

As fresh water brings joy to the thirsty, so God’s people rejoice when He saves them.   Isaiah 12:3 My strength lies in the Lord my God and I know this but today I failed to see God in all I did.   I was weak and I just felt like ice melting away under the suns blazing sun.   The problems I faced seem to engulf and swallow me up. The sad part is everything I write has to be filtered as I cannot speak openly and up front.   I need to watch my ‘p’s’ and ‘q’s’.     Worst of all, I know that God isn’t mad at me but I feel as though He has left me. I have decided not to tell you the negative or even mention the parties concerned it would be a disappointment to you too.   People of stature … then again it made me realise that God put me here where I am to love the people.   These challenges are so trying that I become so depressed to the point of suicide but thank God for His encouraging Words every day. I have come to realise that ...

It is the Lord who gives wisdom; from him comes knowledge and understanding.   Proverbs 2: 6 Dear Lord, Father God in the name of Jesus Christ I want to come in humble prayer and ask You Father to please give to me wisdom, knowledge and understanding for today.   It seems I am not really wise and my knowledge has been lacking in many things I say and do.   Help me to understand people and keep You in mind when I look at them. Lord I need Your help going forward, I cannot face today by myself.   Bless my husband, children and grandchildren.   Bless my parents and my sister and her children as well as my brother and his children and grandchildren.   Keep all of us safe as we go into this day. Amen

Thanksgiving South Africans don’t celebrate thanksgiving but as a South African I would like to bring all glory and honour to the Lord my God.   I want to say Lord Jesus thank you for the opportunity to come to You in humbleness and say thank you for another day.   Thank you Lord for the clothes I have to wear and the food I can eat.   Thank you Lord for my own car to drive with diesel in it.   Even in my hour of stress and facing all the storms in my life I am still grateful to come into Your presence and bring You honour and glory. Thank you Lord for my husband, children, step children and grandchildren, each one of them are precious in my eyes.   Lord thank you that You are there for me, guiding me and teaching me.   I pray for the courage I need to face tomorrow and I ask for the wisdom and insight to understand what I need to understand.   Thank You for You loving kindness and most of all that You are my Lord and saviour.   Mos...
