Carriers of His Glory

The Lord requested one of the most humble, small animals to enter into town. A donkey, use to carry heavy loads. Short on statue, was used, called upon and set apart to bring Jesus in. Celebration, music, shouting, laugh, and happiness as he enters in. The little donkey sees himself as he walk in the middle of the road, head held high. Not because of him, but because of the one he carries. Could you imagine when this donkey was return to the stables; his happiness and delight to be used as a carrier off His glory. Today The Lord calls us donkeys, for we are carriers off His glory here on earth. So no matter where you go today remember who is in you. Who you represent. No matter where we go today remember that God himself is in you, so don’t take for granted your small steps or humble beginnings and remember who you carry within you. For greater is he that is in you that he that’s in the world. Take your 1st step and enter in, for we are carriers of His Glory. Amen Ivette Diaz-Yee 2022

The Compass

Isaiah 30:21 “whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, this is the way; walk in it “ COMPASS- an instrument containing a magnetized pointer which shows the direction of a magnetic north.

Today as I sit and ponder at what’s going on around me I get to see glimpses of a storm raging around us. It has lasted so long. Everything is dark. Fogs as blinded our vision. The winds of incentives pushes us towards the wall. Loosing grasp and footing I try to move forward. But I can’t. I feel my body given up; I am getting tire, I feel my body loosing hope. I don’t have the strength I need to move forward, but I also know I can’t stay stocked where I am. I hear many voices. Every one has a voice, something to say, something to add. Distractions has move us away from our path. And yet in the mist of the storm I hear a voice telling me what to do. It comes from deep inside my souls. Letting me know that I have the tools needed. “Find your compass” I reach inside and there it is. For a short time I had forgotten. I had gotten used to carrying around, knowing what I am going. But as darkness covers the earth, I need to keep my eyes closer to the compass. Today I know that God is my compass. “For when you go thru the waters they would not swipe you away when you go thru the fires you won’t get burn for the Lord himself goes with you“ (Isaiah 43) He would alway point North. And went we stand and raised our eyes upward he is there to lead us. “Your ears would hear a voice”, means that He is closed at hand. In order to hear closer to your ear means that we are very closed in contact. So closed that He whispers “this is the way; walk in it.” And yet the noises of the world. The distractions. The ups and downs and disappointments don’t allow us to find the way. Today as I sit here looking at the world around me I am confident to know God is my compass. No matter what’s taking place around me. I served a God that doesn’t lie. (Numbers) and I had learned to take him at His word. (Matthew) No matter how difficult get out there. You where raise for this times. (Esther) if you are reading this post you are part of the remnants. (Ezra) Hold on to your compass and don’t let go. The times is near. The time is now. Love you all, don’t loose grasp of what you have accomplished, and where you stand today. Ivette Dias-Yee #wordinspire S❤️BG 2/5/21

Catapult Prayers

Today I received a phone call from a very special friend of mine. We had been prayer partners for almost 16 years. We became friends at Teen Challenge thru our woman’s groups. Two weeks ago she called me to inform me that she had contracted the virus through her husband.   I was very concerned and honestly a little fearful because of her underline health issues with diabetes. Today we talk and what she had to share blew my mind. She is at the tail end of this ordeal. In her own words, this is what she felt. “It felt like a demonic attack. The virus intimidate me (such as the enemy bringing doubt and fear) I felt backed up into a corner with no way out. The Lord showed her how the virus mimics our good cells and tricks them into trusting it (counterfeiting our behavior and patterns) how she was able to taste the ugliness inside her mouth. How discouraged she felt, alone and isolated from everyone, but God. How she saw herself losing her strength and at times losing herself, But God. She heard the virus saying to her “You would die from this one”. She felt this virus stealing her hope, her dreams, and her future. But God. She heard God saying to her “Encourage your body don’t give up. Speak life to your good cells. Speak words of affirmation to your body. Speak life...speak, believe, and trust”. (death and life are in the power of the tongue, Prov 18:21) The Lord allowed her to see 3 battlefields which she had to pray for. These battlefields are people (multitudes)  - those fighting the virus.  -those fighting against the virus/ Fighting to stay healthy. - the leadership in our country. Making decisions for us. Later at night and even this morning I’m still digesting and processing everything she had said. The Lord bring me to a dream I had last year 1/16/19. Where I saw something try to come inside my mouth or trying to come out of my mouth. I didn't know what was happening since it happened so fast. But one thing it was revealed to me, was how to pray against it “If is trying to come in me, you are not welcome, if is coming out, Lord take everything that is not of you, away from me” The Lord spoke to my heart and I saw an ancient military device that will hurl missiles. It will aim directly at the position it had to hit. With great force. Our prayers are that missiles, As we focus on the target. As we persist, not wavering, no doubt, no fear. No matter what it comes our way. The Lord always has our back. He goes ahead making the way. He is our refuge in times of trouble. No plague will enter your dwellings as we get closer and deeper into God. Today as you get ready to continue on ask The Lord questions and wait until he answers. “The purpose of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out” Prov 20:5 Ivette Diaz-Yee Original Note May-2020  

Rejoice

definition: -show great joy and delight -jubilation -triumph -joyfulness Re-concerning, regarding Joy- great pleasure and happiness Rejoice is been able to look at situations around you and know without a shadow of a doubt and in your heart that God got it. If is happening is because The Lord had allowed and he knows you could handle it, and you will learn from it. No matter how it may look in the natural, no matter if it doesn’t make sense; specially if it doesn’t make sense. You don’t let anything or anyone to steal your peace and your joy. In the mist of all you raised up a hallelujah for the Lord. When we learn how to honestly rejoice in the Lord it changes our posture, it changes in how your see the situation, our attitude changes and even our behavior improves; because we had kept our focus, we had learn to discipline ourselves and we had stood our ground. So today put on Jesus. Put a smile on, and don’t give the enemy a foothold. For what the enemy has ment for wrong our Lord is using it for His glory. Don't lose heart for outwardly we are been crushed but inwardly we are been renewed. It's an important and necessary lesson we are learning. So my dear, cry if you had to. Express yourself to The Lord, ask questions, guard your heart, mind, and emotions, and play some good old worship music. Lift up your hands to our Lord and rejoice. For the joy of the Lord is your strength. Psalm 30:11 “You turn my wailing in to dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothe me with joy” so Rejoice in the Lord always. Romans 5:2b “We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God” Ivette Diaz-Yee 12/2021 Finishing Strong sisterlovedbygod.net

The Empty Seat

As I prayed over our beloved church. I star to remember where people used to sit. Once we get familiar we tent to claim a sit as our own. I myself I try not to sit in the same place, I tent to change it up, since it gives me a better chance to meet new people. Or get lost within, going unnoticed. But this morning as I ponder about the missing brothers and sisters. My hearts aches for the freinds and family that are gone. Would I see them again? As I pour out myself to the Lord. Writing how I feel. Alone and lonely. Many feelings running through me. I stared to think off few months ago as I am greeting people as the walk in. My eyes capture this mother battling health issues. Trying to walk through with her walker on hand. Her little daughter walking right beside her. This isolation has taken a toll in this little girl. Hair unkept, dirty long sweater. She is waking right between us and yet no one sees her. I try to talk to her, lower myself to her level looking directly at her eyes. She hides from me. And I said , why are you hiding from me sweetheart. No response. We need to keep the line going I was told. Did anybody sees her? As I remember that situation I started to pour out myself to the Lord. No words because I don’t know what to said. I sat in silence. Then I heard this within my souls. “How do you feels seeing all those empty seat, where faithful servants once’s sat?” Today I am looking for the familiar faces, those that help me through when everyone else left me alone. I don’t see them. Where are they? Are they coming back? How are they doing ? Did some one reach out to them? So as I walked into church this morning, with anticipation to see what the Lord has for me. I am walking with expectancy in my heart. Only in His presence I am able to see clear. Hear clear and understand what is taking place. My hear is heavy. I don’t want to think. All I want is to get lost within His presence. I want to run to the altar and lay at His feet. But I can’t. I don’t even know if it would be allowed. So there next to rows off empty chairs behind me I knell and allow myself to be touch in my most delicate areas. I am mourning I and lamenting. I am broken. How does it feel? I don’t have words to express them. The Lord said to learn the language of my heart ❤️. So here I sit. Away from every one. Listening to worship knowing that I had to press thru. The Lord has not release me yet. As I sit in service I noticed a little girl, enjoying the worship, eyes closed hands raised up. She can’t be more than 3 years old and here she stand. A road of chairs between us. Sumerge in his presence. I hear the words in my heart “come to me with the child like faith“. Deep deep inside my soul the Lord allows me to see my wrong motives, wrong expectation not wiling to received. A lot of my familiar faces are gone. Someone else sitting in their chairs. Are they been missing? Did someone reach out to them? Where are they? Would I see them again? Those are the questions I ask myself and I asked God. I may never get an answer. All I know it’s that today as I sit in the back of the church, waiting and watching. I have not been released yet. Like it or not I need to stay here. Lord I repent for my unwillingness to let go, trying to change things and allowing my EGO to take over. Forgive me Lord. Received me once again and allow me to see what you want me to see. Guard my heart. Channel my emotions and lead me. In Jesus name. Amen Ivette Diaz-Yee S♥BG February 21

Refuse To Repent

The joy of the season is gone. Gone are the lights the wrapping paper, and the gift. Family laughter and time to reflect, we wait all year, and then in a few weeks, the magic of it all is gone. A New Year has come. Few people would keep their resolutions. I am still thinking about what this year would bring. I have reminded you of your promises. To keep them close to heart. Not to dwell in the past but to prepare for dreadful days ahead. I am taken to His word, for life, truth, and guidance is found in it, also a warning. “What would happen to a nation that had forgotten her God? Refuses to repent, refuses to take correction? Her transgressions are many, and their apostasies are great. They had spoken falsely of the Lord. Foolish and senseless people, who have eyes, but see not, who have ears, but hear not. These people have stubborn and rebellious hearts; they have turned aside and gone away. Wicked men are found among my people; they lurk like fowlers lying in wait. They set a trap; they catch men. Like a cage full of birds, their houses are full of deceit.” Jeremiah 5 God has not forsaken us. Because of the faithfulness of few, He would help us. False prophets would be exposed for what they are. My people had been deceived, their ears numb. “They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths .“ ( 2 Tim 4:3) The enemy has infiltrated our churches and places of worship. They had become worldly and carnal. Self-centered. The prayer of the remnants had reached heaven and The Lord once more would show us mercy if we ASK. What we must do and what do we need to change? Seek him thru prayer and His word. Continue knocking constantly praying and bring into remembrance all His promises. Put yourself inside the living world. Personal. Taking responsibility for what is written. “I will Bowed ( as reverence, respect, humility, dedication, submission) down and worship him I will open my treasures (you are his treasure, open yourself to be used by him, in any shape way, or form) and present him with my gifts” ( your talents, find out your gifting and present to him ). Matthew 2:11-12 This word was given to me a few days ago. As I seek the Lord for guidance. I pray that it would shake your heart and that we would continue to push forward. Standing firm in him. “I am making my words in your mouth a fire, and this people wood and the fire shall consume them” Jeremiah 5:14b. Ivette Diaz-Yee Original notes from 12/31/22

My Prayer Shawl

“Bring forth your prayer shawls” this morning as I came to sit, He spoke those words into my heart. 

I have this beautiful prayer shawl that a friend brought me from Jerusalem.  I have had it for a few years already.  Hanging in the office, it stays as an ornament. It pleasing to the eyes. 

Today is the 1st time I am able to really bring it out, I wrapped myself with it and allowed myself to learn the true meaning behind it.  Little do I know that it has a name. It’s called a “Tallit” used by the Jews rabbi or Jewish man.  I started my quest in google. I found few people and how they gave me their own interpretation.   Marilyn Hichey calls it a “super natural mantel with the White and blue representing the Holy Spirit present with us and the purity of God”.  Okay,  I accept that. 

Google to the rescue one more time. I looked up the high priest garments. (Which to me it’s a representation of our armor of God.  Ephesians 6:13- The Turban = the helmet of Salvation, shoulder piece=the breastplate of righteousness, Sash= Belt of truth , but that’s for another study, )

I must continue, with the help of my favorite gal "google" trying to find something else. I’m missing something but I don’t know what it is.  Then I found  these guy from “Happy Tabernacle and He explained it as a tool that God has given us; a closet: being covered by a prayer closet, enhancing our prayer life, speaking to God without distractions “ This guy gave a scripture. I like Him ..!!!! people could deny you but not the word of God. 

Numbers 15:38... “throughout the generations to come you are to make tassels on the corner of your garments, with a blue cord on each tassel. (V.39) You  will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember all the commands of the lord , that you may obey them and not prostitute yourself by going after the lust of your own hearts and eyes.  (V.40) Then you will remember to obey all my commands and will be consecrated to your God “ Okay, something about 4 grabs my attention, but I need something else. 

I’m praying looking all around.  A few hours have passed,  I call my Jewish friend (since I trust her) to help me, but no, she is busy. I know God is working something in me. 

I’m a little apprehensive, I don’t trust everyone or everything, it comes from the spiritual abuse I suffered which The Lord is using this quest for me to heal.  Like pastor Bob said “I want to be a Voice not an Echo” 

Finally I find this teaching on “The Tallit”  by Dr.Terry Harmon.  There is something about this guy I like. You guys have to watch and listen to how He explains and brings forth scripture after scripture. Again, He brings me back to Numbers 15:37-41 

Listen to him back and forth taking notes. Asking God for my personal revelation. I’m done. I could feel his presence all around me. I’m praying   And ask for forgiveness for what had held me back from to many people. Trust, I need to trust again.  Not everyone is the same.  I’m asking The Lord to removed from deep inside the seed of miss trust and to heal that area in my life.  And that's when it happened.  The Lord reminded me of the 4 corners of The Tallit and a scripture “ I have longed to gather you together as a hen gather her chicks under her wing” this scripture is found on  Matthew 23:37 and is The Lord Jesus Christ crying over us. 

He spoke to my heart about the fourth corners on the Tallit.  I held on to them and continued to pray. I don’t know what was coming out, because I have learn to let him lead me on my spiritual language, I don’t know how long I kneel in His presence.   He spoke to me about the 4 corners of the world, (Isaiah 11:12)from North to South from East to West. Four representing creation and world. 

He allowed me to see how this Coronavirus Covid 19 has brought us together.  Today this scripture has been fulfilled in our own eyes, The Lord himself gathers us under His wings.  We find refuge in the shadows of His wings (Ps 36:7

I’m undone, I no longer live but Christ lives in me. 

I finished my time  with The Lord with communion; together, alone, special and powerful. 

The Lord met me on our 1st 5 days of prayer, fasting and communion. I can’t wait to see what he would have for us tomorrow. 

 “Open your mouth and I will filled it” Ps. 81:10

Redesign Your Armor

 

Re-redo

ReDesign- design again or in a different way. 

God has given us a full armor which we find in Ephesians 6:13-18.  We all are very familiar with this scripture but do we really know how to use them.??? 

I’m always asking the Lord, why was fashion the way it was?  His answer blows my mind. “It was fashionable for those times and what was available and familiar for those that were living in those times.  Times and places.”

I took upon myself to learn and study a little more about the armor of God. I was told I need to go back to the drawing board.  To really understand the meaning of each piece and to know what was given to us.  The first words I came across PUT ON.  An action is required, take action.  Spiritually we need to put it on.  There were times when instead of putting on I was dragging it along. Forgetting it or leaving it behind. 

What I’m going to write is what I have learned about Puttying on The Full Armor of God.  

Take every word and give action to each and one of them.  Visualize what your doing. Recognize the battle you would be confronting.  Make sure you bring the right equipment to the battle ahead.

Again I asked the Lord, “Why it is that all these people are praying and honestly interceding ,but they don’t get the results they expecting? “Because they go to battle with the wrong equipment". 

What!!!! Explain it,  Lord make it simple for me I asked.  “We have a 5 alarm fire going on...the whole building is in flames, the help you are expecting is coming in, running in to the fire we see a whole group of doctors, nurses, medical technician, all running in fully equipped and trained to the work, but at the wrong place and that is what is taking place nowadays.  We are going around fighting this battles with the wrong equipment. 

Now take your time and let’s do this together.  Let us learn how to utilize the tools and the armory that was presented to us.

1st The Helmet 

        Protects your head. Your mind which is the battlefield of the mind. Where your thoughts 1st take place. Covers your ears and depending on the battle shields your eyes with the protective shield.  Ask God to open your eyes to see things for what they really are and to hear the unspoken cry. 

2nd Breastplate

          Guards your heart. The heart could be very deceitful down wicked and only God could comprehend and only God knows the motives of it. 

3rd Belt of Truth

          It is your stabilizer, holds you straight and firm, able to understand and recognize the truth that comes from the world of God.  Don’t let anyone fool you with empty words.

4th Feet Ready 

         With the readiness that comes from the gospel of truth the ability to change them depending on the battle and the terrain you are walking in.  Boots on the ground, running shoes,  stilettos to sandals, let His light show you the way. 

5th Shield of Faith 

         Not just to protect you from the many arrows the enemy is going to send your way but also as a shield as we walk to help our brother or sister in need,  able to protect and shield them until they too recover their strength. 

6th Take your Sword 

       Which is the word of God. Planted in your heart so we won’t sin against him. Able to penetrate even the deepest marrows of the heart. I have also added a dagger for those times when we know we are encountering a closed encounter,  when it becomes closed and personal. 

God wants us fully equipped and fully trained. 

Every single morning before I leave my house I read and readjust my armor.  Many times I do a check up on it because I know fully well the enemy is watching and waiting for the right opportunity to come in.  He does not need a door but a crack.  Inspection is required at all times. 

Be blessed my sisters and if you feel this help you feel free to share. 

Love
