Yvette's Whispers of Faith

I have been chatting to the kids and it is really clear they all want super powers like Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Super girl and Spider-Man to name just a view.   When you ask them what they know about the Holy Spirit, they will say that He comes to live in your heart.    Because we know the Holy Spirit is a Christians ‘super power’ we seem to want to hide it.   With the Holy Spirit living within me, the Lord Jesus has empowered me to face each day.   I am strong because I know the Holy Spirit is within me.   I am able to face each day knowing that I will be more than a conquer because of the Holy Spirit. When I stand before God in prayer, I don’t always have the right words and then the Holy Spirit speaks on my behalf to God, Deep calling onto deep. I am reminded by John 15 verse 26 “But I will send you the Comforter – the Holy Spirit, the source of all truth.   He will come to you from the Father and will tell you all abo...

Malachi 2: 7 (LTB) 7 “Priests” lips should flow with the knowledge of God so the people will learn God’s laws.   The priests are the messengers of the Lord Almighty, and men should come to them for guidance. Reminding me ~ God is in control and that I love God and that ‘all things work together for those who love the Lord’ I consider my future.   Today as I think and focus on the Word of God I am asking the Lord my God for guidance.   I will not fall into a pit with feelings of confusion or feelings of being lost, yes I know things aren’t clear this minute but I will not cling to feelings of perplexity. Do not allow feelings of bewilderment or disorientation to drag you away from the Lord, go and speak to your Pastor or Priest and ask them to stand in the gap for you today, so that they can make a way for you by building a wall.   God is so good to each of us we don’t have to deal with these problems we have Him. My encouragement for you tod...

Psalm 69: 6   6 O Lord God of the armies of heaven, don’t let me be a stumbling block to those who trust in You.   O God of Israel, don’t let me cause them to be confused,   A constant checking and searching of my life I truly hope that I am not a stumbling block to any of my family and friends.   God knows my heart and I can be difficult and I don’t accept things just the way they are. I have noticed people will place little notes around on Facebook for instance if you feel people have disappointed you, it is because you looked to people for guidance and not to God.   Seriously!   In all my ears have I come to realize that people are fickle and they will disappoint you?   I cannot say that I will trust people on face value; I have to get to know you before I will let you into my personal space. I trust and believe in God, not matter what other people say or think.   To me if it is written in the Word of God then God said it a...

Psalm 9: 1 O LORD, I will praise you with all my heart and tell everyone about the marvelous things you do. As we start our day let me encourage you by reminding you to say thank you for what you have, a job, a house, a car, clothes to wear, food to eat, and beautiful furniture.   Take a minute and stop and think about 5 things you want to say thank you for. Good health, a steady income something you can be grateful for, there are so many sick people and so many people without a job. Don’t forget to say thank you, keep on saying thank, say grateful and never forget what the Lord is doing for you each and every day. Prayer Lord God, how awesome and wonderful are YOU.   We are so grateful for our jobs, we are so grateful for the clothes on our backs.   Lord God we are so grateful for our good health and steady income each month.   Lord we praise You for helping us each and every day.   Bless Your Holy Name and we worship You for the ...

Romans 12: 2 Colossians 3: 11 (TLB) 11  In this new life one’s nationality or race or education or social position is unimportant; such things mean nothing. Whether a person has Christ is what matters, and he is equally available to all. As ambassadors of the Living God through Christ, we are representatives our Lords kingdom.   We have accepted Christ into our lives and now we are being transformed by the renewing of our minds. Life changes and people change all the time, we realize that God sees us through Jesus Christ, looking not our social position, our nationality or race, not even our education impresses God.   Reminding us that we are moral and nothing we do equals Gods love and grace and mercy. As we stand before God today, He views us through the Lord Jesus Christ our advocate, making us acceptable to God. Prayer Heavenly Father, we thank You Lord God for another day, thank You that You view us through Your Son Jesus Christ and t...

1 Corinthians 9: 24 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize?   Run in such a way as to take the prize. I remind myself each day that ‘First is first, and second is nothing.’   Something my Dad reminded us of all the time.    How can you win the race while one earth?   I believe you need to put something into perspective; you need to realize the race will be tough.   You need to be obedient when the Holy Spirit instructs you to do something.   You need to pray and mediate as often as possible.   Your relationship with the Lord Jesus is imperative and you need to stay connected to the vine. You will need help, a coach always guides and helps his runners for the race.   Our coach and mentor is the Holy Spirit.   Without the Holy Spirit I doubt if any of us will make it to the finish line. We need to stay connected and the only way to stay connected is by attending churc...
