Yvette's Whispers of Faith

John 16: 8 – 11 AMP “And He, when He comes, will convict the world about [the guilt of] sin [and the need for a Saviour], and about righteousness, and about judgment; about sin [and the true nature of it], because they do not believe in Me [and My message]; about righteousness [personal integrity and godly character], because I am going to My Father and you will no longer see Me; about judgment [the certainty of it], because the ruler of this world (Satan) has been judged and condemned.” Today I want to remind you that the Holy Spirit is a person and that we need the Holy Spirit to commune with the Lord our God. The Lord Jesus Christ had to leave so that the Father would send us a helper. I don’t believe I can make it on my own and without the Holy Spirit, I cannot make it through each day. Yes when I do something wrong I hear this little voice whispering in my ear no, Yvette that’s not right. Some people will say it your conscious but I say it’s the Holy Spirit. I nee...

Psalm 23: 5 ESV “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” It is my heart’s desire to read and understand God’s Word that it will become alive within me and that I am able to share my knowledge with others. Starting with the first verse we notice that the Lord is showing us our possession as well as our provision. It is amazing to see how King David describes these two important facts. In times of difficulty we need to find peace and in the second verse King David reminds us of the peace and God is giving us. We are pardoned by God when King David reminds us that God restores our soul leading us on the paths of righteousness for His Namesake. Awesome! Even when we face divesting circumstance we know we are partnered up with the Lord and that we do not have to fear no evil, because our partner God is with us. We see how God is preparing a table before us in the presence of our enemies, anointing our ...

Nehemiah 6: 15-16 ESV “So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days. And when all our enemies heard of it, all the nations around us were afraid and fell greatly in their own esteem, for they perceived that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.” The minute you understand your purpose you will not allow people to pressure you. You will stand your man in the company. I learned the harder people push you the harder you need to push back. Never once have I backed down, my purpose was clear I wanted to be a successful person. I realized that people will pressure you to the extent that you become fearful when in fact the pressure is a ploy to get rid of you. The reasons are simple they cannot get on with you and would love you to leave. In the old days when I felt the pressure of people manipulating and pressurizing me, I would break down in the bathroom and pray, crying and praying calling out to the LORD my God. ...

Proverbs 27: 21 “As silver is tried in the fining-pot and gold in the furnace; so a man is tried by the mouth of him that praiseth.  The heart of the wicked seeketh after evils, but the righteous heart seeketh after knowledge.” How do you react to people who try and flatter you? I don’t understand why people try and flatter me. If someone tries to flatter me the first thing that comes to mind “What do you want?” I don’t trust people who try and flatter me because I believe they have a hidden agenda and want something in return. I also feel they cannot be trusted. They always come with sweet talk but in the background, I have heard how they discuss me. Prayer Lord the question is do we enjoy flattery or do we brush it off and carry on with our lives. Do we think about the great words spoken over us and think we are all this and more when in fact we are still being pruned each day. Lord helps us to discern right from wrong and not be taken into false preten...

Deuteronomy 29: 29 AMP “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things which are revealed and disclosed belong to us and to our children forever, so that we may do all of the words of this law.” When your life is plain sailing and things are great you don’t even consider “for your good.” But let things take a turn and your life comes unstuck, that’s when you wonder why “for your good?” How can difficult times be good for you? In those days when I was struggling and suffering with difficulties I was reminded “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” It’s difficult to do that when you are faced with adversaries. People that you trusted and thought had your back were out to get you. When you can’t see the outcome and you are plagued by fear it’s hard to see “we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” Romans 8: 28 Now looking back those...

Acts 17: 28 AMP “For in Him we live and exist [that is, in Him we actually have our being], as even some of your own poets have said, “For we also are His children.”” I was thinking about this and it struck me that we live in a society that “loves” everything. I ask myself the question do we truly Love the Lord our God? Or do we look for love in all the wrong places? Do you love your neighbor? Do you love your family? Do you Love God? Sometimes I don’t love my neighbour or my family, they make me mad and I don’t want to even look their way. Do I love God? I believe that I love God. I have committed my life to the Lord Jesus and I accepted the Lord into my life. And thinking about this statement “For we also are His children” brightens my face and makes me super happy. My life is in God’s hand and I know that God first loved me so I can love Him back. Prayer Lord I love You, I love You, I do. Today thank You that I can brag about my love for You. You lift...

2 Corinthians 5: 21 AMP “He made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God [that is, we would be made acceptable to Him and placed in a right relationship with Him by His gracious lovingkindness].” It is my heart’s desire Lord, Abba Father that You O LORD, will bless my life and that You will surround me with Your shield of favour. I realize and understand that I am not worthy of any of Your grace or favour but I do come before You as the Righteousness of God in Christ. Lord, I realize that when You favour me I will also enjoy the favour of the people around me. I am calling out to You today, please Lord encircle me with Your shield of favour. Prayer I believe Lord God, that You do have a plan for my life. As I sit in my office today I want to cry out to You in humbleness asking that You will encircle me with Your favour that this will cover my life today and the rest of my life. I love and a...
