Yvette's Whispers of Faith

Numbers 13: 33 "Attitude of the doubt." "And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak,  who come from the Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them." https://kellan-publishing.selz.com/item/daily-devotional-ebenezer

Ephesians 4: 22 – 24 (TLB) “then throw off your old evil nature – the old you that was a partner in your evil ways – rotten through and through, full of lust and sham.  Now your attitudes and thoughts must all be constantly changing for the better.  Yes, you must be a new and different person, holy and good. Clothe yourself with the new nature.” We need to constantly come into the presence of the LORD and ask the Holy Spirit to help us with the renewing of our minds. In Ephesians, we see we are reminded to let go of the old sinful past and start moving forward towards the renewing of our minds. We need to change our attitude and thoughts by constantly focusing on God’s Word. When we gave our lives to the LORD Jesus we became a new creation and children of the Living God. In 2 Corinthians 5 verse 17, we are reminded that we are a new creation in Christ. I realize that my life isn’t perfect and I need to repent on a daily basis from my sinful life. Each day ...

Numbers 14: 18 ESV "The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the childer, to the third and the fourth generation." https://kellan-publishing.selz.com/item/daily-devotional-ebenezer

2 Chronicles 7: 14 (TLB) “Then if my people will humble themselves and pray, and search for me, and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear them from heaven and forgive their sins and heal their land.” Solomon brought sacrifices to the LORD and after his prayer, something fantastic happened. Fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.  We really have no idea how awesome that must have been to see the glory of God fill the temple. We see the priests could not enter the temple because the glory of the LORD filled the LORD’s house. The Israelites all fell down on the pavement and worshipped and gave thanks to the LORD, saying “For he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.” The temple is dedicated and then the LORD says “if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forg...

Genesis 13: 14 ESV The LORD said to Abram after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward.” I cannot believe how time seems to fly these days. It was December 2018 a minute ago and now we are at the end of January 2019. I feel excited and in good spirits, I read something Joyce Meyers wrote and it struck me that I am also facing a New beginning in my own life.  As I meditate and focus on “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are,” I feel the Lord is also speaking to me. It seemed I would not get anywhere and nothing would work out for me. In my life, there are a couple of “naysayers” who are constantly trying to pull me down. The best part is God isn’t manipulated by these people. God has promised me; “plans for welfare and not for evil, to give me a future and hope.” I am also getting excited because I am working on a strategic plan to start my own busine...

Romans 8: 26 KJV “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” God understands and knows us very well, in my current situation I have decided to leave my job in God’s hands. I believe God has a plan for my life and many times I just don’t have words to speak to God. My spirit becomes so low and despondent. The one thing I have come to realise God is always in control and He knows best. I am so grateful for my job, you won’t believe me. I have been informed that my contract is being extended. Praise the Lord, I worry about my parents and it would be really difficult to help them if I am sitting at home not earning any cash. God knows my heart and I believe that the Spirit helps me in my weaknesses. What an awesome God we serve. I have been blessed with a salary for the next couple of months. What an awesome God I ser...

Matthew 12: 35 ESV “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak.” Have you tried to change your thinking lately? I think it’s very difficult to do this out of my own strength. I actually believe that I need the Holy Spirit so that I can change my thinking and the way I speak. I have been living in Mpumalanga for just over eight years and I believe my way of thinking and speaking has changed somewhat. Something we do not do in our home is curse or swearing. Without the Holy Spirit, it won’t be possible. When the Holy Spirit prompts you or me to do something, we should obey and do whatever he shows us.   The Lord Jesus says that every sin will be forgiven but if we blaspheme against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven us. Rejecting the prompts from the Holy Spirit and constantly turning away for His guidance could be something seen as blaspheme of the Holy Spirit. I wouldn’t want to try the Lord in any way an...
