Yvette's Whispers of Faith

2 Corinthians 4: 13  ‘It is written:   ‘ I believed, therefore I have spoken .' Since we have that same spirit of faith,  we also believe and therefore speak.’ Before you read something about my past remember I am a woman who faced daunting times and blow after blow I never gave up.   I got up each morning and prayed Help me face today Lord Jesus.  I believed God would help me through the most difficult time in my life, I will prosper and succeed in everything I do, I declare this in Jesus Christ’s name. Life has dealt me some interesting times when I think of all the hardships I had endure and how close I got to God in times when I felt so abandoned and alone.   It seems so strange to even think of it.   My life was difficult for most of my adult years, drug abuse was something we witnessed in our house.    A really very stressful time in my life, I found in those days, weight loss was normal and hair loss just as...

Acts 28: 26 – 27 (ESV) 26  “‘Go to this people, and say, “You will indeed hear but never understand,      and you will indeed see but never perceive.” 27  For this people's heart has grown dull,      and with their ears they can barely hear,      and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes      and hear with their ears and understand with their heart      and turn, and I would heal them.’ As I sit here and think about hearing it reminds me of a couple of weeks ago when I was totally deaf in my left ear.   Being stubborn and not wanting to go to the doctor I thought ‘this too will pass’, and it did not.   Plucking up the courage I decided to see the doctor.   He told me it’s nothing serious; my ear was blocked and it can be remedied with “waxol”. During that period I didn’t hear much and it was really peaceful, as ...

Acts 16: 31 (AMP) 31  And they answered, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ [ [ d ] give yourself up to Him, [ e ] take yourself out of your own keeping and entrust yourself into His keeping] and you will be saved, [and this applies both to] you and your household as well. Abba Father, humbly I come before You asking for the salvation of family and friends that do not know or have a personal relationship with You. 2 Corinthians 4: 4 (AMP) 4  For the god of this world has blinded the unbelievers’ minds [that they should not discern the truth], preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ (the Messiah), Who is the Image and Likeness of God. Please Lord I pray that You will reveal Yourself to my family and friends and that Your Holy Spirit will open their eyes and ears to Your word, so that they may experience Your abundant love for them. As I bring these members of my family and friends before I pray that You will...

Proverbs 18:14Amplified Bible (AMP) 14  The strong spirit of a man sustains him in bodily pain or trouble, but a weak and broken spirit who can raise up or bear? Blow after blow I endured for some many years and this year it struck me to such an extent that committing suicide would have been the best answer for me.   My weak and broken spirit could not move forward any more.   I was constantly crying and everything seemed to be against me.   I finally spoke to my husband and my daughter, telling them the overwhelming feeling of despair that was haunting me constantly.   It seemed that my life was falling apart and the even God had abandoned me.      A couple of weeks ago I decided to get my house in order as I was sure I would not make this year going forward, I told my husband, I wanted to get all my project in order and sort things out as I was certain I was going to die. In the meantime I have been to my GP who has given me...

Isaiah 60 Amplified Bible (AMP) 10  Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you; for in My wrath I smote you, but in My favor, pleasure, and goodwill I have had mercy, love, and pity for you. As I read this I must tell you that for a very, very long time I felt as though my God had forgotten all about me.   I was praying but it felt as though my prayers were hitting a bronze dome not allowing my prayers to get through to the Lord.   I then started to look at my life with a microscope and investigate what was wrong and how I could rectify my situation.      Not that I have the power to do anything but I started eliminating all the things I felt was sinful in the sight of God.   I started making amends and asking for forgiveness and coming clean before God and man. It has taken a couple of years to bring me to the place I find myself.   You don’t have any idea how difficult and embracing many of th...
