Yvette's Whispers of Faith

Esther 2: 17 NIV “ Now the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women, and she won his favour and approval more than any of the other virgins.   So he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.” I have come to realize that God has appointed my days before they even happen. There was a time in my life that I felt that I was not in the right place and that my days were not ordained. Then I came to realize God is in control and He knows where I am. He knows who I spend my time with and what I am doing. Even in these interesting times in my life, not knowing what is going to happen tomorrow or next year. I realized that God knows and has a purpose for my life. I just need to hold onto Him. When I read the book of Esther I saw how God opened doors for Esther. She was one of many young girls. I realized she didn’t hear from God but from her uncle telling her if she doesn’t do what is right someone else will. God was ope...

Psalm 138: 5 ESV   “and they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD.” I think I am one of the most boring people. I live my life very seriously. I have heard my children and my husband say "relax" take it easy. That makes me angry. I want balance in my life. I want to live a happy and fee life. I enjoy doing so many things. I believe I restricting myself and I am too careful. I am learning to lighten up. My current situation made me angry and I felt under pressure. In the meantime, I have given up on certain things. I feel whatever. I have given myself permission to just let things ride.  I have come to a point in my life where I feel I am not responsible for other people’s mess. They should sort out their mess. I am empowering myself to lighten up and enjoy life. I do not feel I should take responsibility for others. We all need to learn how to cope in life. It is their turn to take responsibility. I do what I ...

Matthew 7: 7-11 The Message “Don’t bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This isn’t a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we’re in. If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust? If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate? As bad as you are, you wouldn’t think of such a thing. You’re at least decent to your own children. So don’t you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?” I have been praying about something that I feel is crucial to my own life and I have not received an answer.   I don’t have victory over this matter and I don’t know what my future holds. I realise God is working on my situation and it is taking time, I know that God can change my life in an instance. In the meantime I am still doing the best I can where I am. I think that I have been waiting passively and not really expecting an answer to my prayer. I know when I pray for specific things concerning specific people, I...

1 Peter 5: 6 – 7 AMP Shepherd the Flock of God “Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you, casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.” When it comes to worries, anxiety and my emotional stress I must tell you I agree with Joyce Meyers “battlefield of the mind.”   I have noticed that I seem to open my life up to unwanted worries and anxieties, by saying things to people and not really thinking about the consequences.   Then the devil will come to my mind in the early hours of the morning and remind me of something and boom, I start tossing and turning.   This way and that way, I over think a situation and keep on rehearsing it in my mind. Instead of saying "I bind you in the name of Jesus Christ, leave me alone"...
