Yvette's Whispers of Faith

by Yvette van Niekerk September 23 And suddenly! Isaiah 48:3 (TLB) 3 "Time and again I told you what was going to happen in the future. My words were scarcely spoken when suddenly I did just what I said." This words still holds for me, I was out of a job for a long time and thing just did not go my way. I thought I had favour with people and it just wasn't true. I had people stab me in the back and left me out to die so to speak. Each day I would take time and meditate on God's Word, I would sit outside next to the swimming pool and read my Bible out loud. I heard God's word and then suddenly I received a phone call asking me if I would like to come and work for a couple of months. Suddenly I had a job and I am good at my job. I have favour with people I didn't even know I had. God worked supernaturally in my favour. Life is good and I am expecting more and more suddenly favour from my living God. Prayer Lord God thank You that You time and again ...

by Yvette van Niekerk September 17 Perfect Timing. Galatians 6:9 (ESV) 9 "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season, we will reap if we do not give up." As a young girl in my Dad's house, I remember him always telling me that it was important for perfect timing. He said that he wanted to still be in the right place at the right time. According to my Dad, it would be the best thing that could happen to him. Now that I am a mother and grandmother, my heart desires that my children and grandchildren have perfect timing. I want them to excel in life and be the best they can be. The thing is the ideal timing to take place. We need to wait on the Lord as He is in control over our lives. The Lord in our lives, we can come into perfect timing as I pray every day I want to make a wall and stand in the gap for my children and grandchildren asking that the Lord will give us the grace to accept what comes our way and be patient in our lives. Prayer Lord a...

by Yvette van Niekerk September 16 A Shift is coming. Matthew 28:6 (ESV) 6 "He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come see the place where he lay." As I think and meditate on these words; I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead, and I am His child. The incredible fact of the matter is it may have happened 2000 years ago, but He is still with us. I have many dreams and aspirations, and my heart desires to become one of the best authors in the world. My experience is limited, and I don't always have the flow, but in my heart of heart, I believe God will suddenly create a platform where I will push forward. Do you have a dream? Believe in the Lord and trust in Him, I believe there is a shift coming our way. We may think there are limitations on God, but in fact, it isn't true. No doors can stay shut if they open specially for you and me. I want to encourage you today, to get your hopes up and believe that there is a shift coming your way. ...

by Yvette van Niekerk September 15 "God will supply every need of yours." Philippians 4:19(ESV) 19 "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. " Looking at my own life, I can attest to the goodness and mercy of my Lord God. When I lived with my three children, we struggled to make ends meet, but we never went to bed without eating a meal. I never had enough money to buy the things I loved and desired, but God even supplied according to my desires. I remember there was a blouse that I wanted with animal print on and every time I passed the shop, and I would stop for a moment and look at it. At the end of that, month I received my blouse. It was so beautiful I realize that God knew my hearts desires. My boss went overseas, and I so desired to have a leather purse, and when she returned from Milan, she bought a leather purse for me, which I cherished. Perfume and beautiful gifts and lovely flowers every week...

by Yvette van Niekerk September 14 Pray for our country. 1 Timothy 2: 1-2 (ESV) Pray for All People 1 "First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people. 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way." We are being encouraged by the Apostle Paul to pray for our country, but thinking about this we should intercede for other countries too. Each day we should take a couple of minutes and make a wall and stand in the gap for our own country and also one of the overseas countries. We must pray for our leaders in political positions. Both you and I want to have peace in our own country, and we want to know that we are safe each day. You know that your prayers impact our lives. I remember when I am honest in humility before God, my prayers answered. By praying for our country, we know that God can change the circumstance for each of us. ...

by Yvette van Niekerk September 13 "Goodness and mercy." Psalm 23:6 (ESV) 6 "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Most people are more positively inclined but on the contrary to most people, and I find that I have very low self-esteem. I tend to speak to myself negatively and harshly. I need to speak into my life, positive thoughts purposefully. Each morning I wake and thank the Lord for another day, and then get busy, once I slow down and have time to myself, the negative thoughts come streaming in. I have so many regrets, and before I realize it, I have cut myself down to nothing. Now I need to pick myself up and keep reminding myself that "surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life." I have to purposefully stay focused on God's word or me probably with fall into a deep depression. Prayer Lord God, thank you for the Psalms and thank You...

by Yvette van Niekerk September 12 I am giving thanks. 1 Chronicle 16:34 (ESV) 34 "Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!" Each day I am learning how to use the Word of God in praising His name. What makes me grateful? I am happy and thankful for the time I spend in God's presence each day. God knows my every footstep and is directing me. I am grateful that I am learning each day. The Bible shall not depart from my mouth, and I am meditating on it day and night, I am observing it all the time. I am pursuing a life of holiness and purity to draw near to the Lord. I want to know the Ten Commandments and live accordingly. I want to praise God and be free of stress and anxiety. I know faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Thank You, Lord, for the opportunity in spending time with You. Thank You, Lord, Your mercies are new every day. Prayer Father God, thank You, for Your Son Jesus Christ, who paid the pri...
