Irrelevant

Definition according to Google; The lack of a relation of something, Not confected with what you are discussing or dealing with, un necessary, not having anything to do with the matter at hand Not revelant or applicable to a particular matter or situation. IR= without, not inconsequential, insignificant, pointless, unimportant, unnecessary, unrelated. Personal definition. “Out of style, outdated, not longer needed, not longer accepted, non trending.” As we look around at what is taking place, it’s very easy to get distracted, with the mundane. Never in millions years I thought I will see and experience the ugliness that is taking place. There is not a save place to go. Every one is doing what they think is best in their heart. What was holy it had become unholy. What was wrong had become right. Darkness is over taking the land. As I watch I see mimicking behavior, patterns, easy to recognize, since the enemy can’t create, he counterfeit and duplicate. With laughter, and joke I see how he deceits many. Bulgar jokes, which are intended to be funny. We are becoming desensitized. Normalizing sin has become the norm. And here I stand surround by all asking God what is happening? The word I hear in my heart is “ I have become IRRELEVANT for these people” Our Lord and savior, has become irrelevant; out of style non trending, outdated, not longer needed or accepted. Lord have mercy upon us. Help us to continue being the light in this world of darkness. Help us to walk in love but at the same time standing firm in our conviction. Not to compromise who we are in you. To understand that this is a spiritual war. This world and its pleasures one day will come to end, until then helps us to stand out, stand firm, to swim against the current that is intended to brings us under. We can’t do it without you; help us Lord. We choose to stand firm, for greater is He that is in us than him that’s in the world. Let us not loose heart. Continuing pressing forward. Dispersing the darkness around us, bringing hope to the hopeless. Reveal yourself to us. In Jesus' name. “I will reveal my name to my people, and they will come to know its power. Then at last they will recognize that I am the one who speaks to them” Isaiah 52:6 Love and prayers Ivette Diaz-Yee 3/20/24

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

His Glory

I had the opportunity to walk the grounds of one of the most beautiful oldest colleges in the Midwest. Voted #1 best value liberal art college in the nation. With students from 26 countries, with a variety of faith backgrounds. 125 years of history within the walls. Thousand of prayers. As I walk inside the old church, feeling and letting my imagination run, I could hear the hymns sung. The many messages preach over the pulpit. Many lives were changed because of their dedication and submission to God. Their willingness to let go of self so they could find God's purpose for their life and the reason they were created for. Going after their destiny. Running after God. Available, faithful, and teachable. I would love to be a fly on the wall so I could experience what they experienced. As I continue to move up the stairs every step is bringing me closer to a new revelation. I come across hundreds of volumes on church history. Walls full of books. Years of history in each book. Each step brings me closer to what awaits me at the end of the room. As I walked by I noticed the big church organ. A small desk with the college information. Wing chair sits by the window. I feel peace in the room. I stood there for what looked like an eternity, not wanting to move. Reluctantly I made it down the stairs. Just to come up once again. I wanted to take pictures of the precious room up the stairs. Something special with the small room. To capture the moment it that was possible. This time I bring my daughter and my phone. I wanted the picture of me sitting by the window. My daughter took some shoots and we left. Sometime later as I am going over the pictures I notice the light coming out of one of the pictures of me sitting by the window. Then I realize that thanks to technology we were able to have a glimpse of heaven, the rays of glory, His presence was tangible and we captured. This is the 2nd time in the last few months that I am able to capture glimpses of heavens. If we are willing to press on. If we yield to His presence. If we search for more of him. If we thirst and hunger for more of him. We be able to find him. For his presence filled the room. The light of heavens came down and dwell among us. His presence was felt and he allowed me to fill it too. I don't know about you but when we look for him with all our heart, mind and soul, he will not disappoint us. For he will meet us there. I saw the old church, I went inside looking for Him and I found him. For he waited for me sitting by the window, overlooking the Mississippi River below. Our Lord and Saviour is calling. He is willing to meet with you at the most unexpected times. Don't allow distractions to move you. Don't allow what is taking place around us to rob us of having intimacy with the Lord. I am on vacation. I didn't have plans for an encounter, But The Lord gifted me with his peace, his presence, and his love. Ivette Diaz-Yee July 2023 Principia College Elsah, Illinois

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  

Save by His Grace

He save me when I couldn’t save myself. He was there with me all along. I was never alone because in my loneliness, my hurts, and my disappointment he was there with me. “All the days ordained for me were writing in your book before one of them came to be” Psalm 139:16 The enemy knew that. For he was watching. Waiting for the most appropriate time to strike and bring me down. The same day I got baptized in the spirit was the same night my innocence was stolen. After that, my life was forever changed. I became rude, prideful, and arrogant. Manipulative and a liar. I found solace in drinking and smoking. And yet inside of me, I had this void. This emptiness. I knew that something was wrong but no one took the time to lead me or show me. Until I was found by him. Until I heard the ultimatum. Yale, mental illness or the Morgue. Because even in my darkest hours He was there to save me. “In my distress, I called to the Lord and he answered me. From the depth of the grave, I called out for help and he listen to my cry. When my life was ebbing away I remember you, Lord and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple.” Jonah 2:2, 7. The Lord didn't wait for me to get better to get clean or get my life in order. His mighty hand reach out and picked me up. He lifted me from the mud and mire He put a new song in my heart. A new sound in my lips. He held me, and carry me when I couldn't move. He walked beside me at my pace. The Lord didn't rush me. He allowed me to see, to understand that true healing takes time. I didn't get where I had ended up overnight, I have the rest of my life to get well. Spiritual, physical, and mentally. What I had learned over these years I give out. The Lord save me; for me to save others. “You are to help your brothers (sisters) until the Lord gives them rest, as he has done for you.” Joshua 1:15 What he did in my life he would do it again in yours if you give him a chance. We have tried everything why not try Jesus? Ivette Diaz-Yee

Develop Your Sixth Sense

“Grow powerful in union with The Lord, in union with his mighty strength “ Eph 6:10 The other day as I was walking into work. I notice a nickel and a penny on the floor. I tend to always pick up the pennies because they say “In God we trust”.Today I picked up the six cents and placed them in my pocket. Usually, I just dropped them inside my work desk drawer in case I need change for the vending machine. For some odd reason, I didn’t do that this time. I forgot about the change in my pocket until I arrived home later that night. As I sat in front of my vanity taking off my jewelry, I notice the change in my pocket. I held it in the palm of my hand. And said “Six cents” Six cents I repeated. This time it sounded different, Sixth sense. Shivers ran down my arms. I know what was coming next. “Develop your Sixth sense” It took me by surprise. I knew what He was talking about. But I didn’t know what to do with it. Doubt came in, and fear and double-minded thoughts came in too. I understood why I received this revelation. I knew I had to do something with it but at the time I didn’t know what. I know God was telling me something. I needed to find out what he was trying to tell me. So I could get to the bottom of it. I had received the word. Now it was up to me to process, simmer and figure out what I have received. I recognize we are living in dangerous perils days. The 6th Sense God was talking about, has to do with our spiritual self. It has to do with discernment of the spirit, alertness, and the ability to recognize the tricks the enemy brings our way. Able to recognize it from a distance. It has to do with the knowledge to know the word of God so no one can deceive you with their beliefs and interpretations. Being able to see behind the mask and listening to what's not being said. It’s being able to see through what is fake and counterfeit. Able to see the real problem behind the hurt, disappointment, and fears. Developing our sixth sense would keep us accountable and ready for when He calls on us. The 6th sense is essential for the battle we are facing today. “For we are not struggling against a human being, but against the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers governing this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm”. Eph 6:12, (The Complete Jewish study bible). We need to wake up! The weapons of our warfare are mighty and unto God to bring down strongholds. Even when you walk through the fires you won’t be burned and the waters of affliction won’t sweep you away. He will raise you with wings like an eagle. Times are changing and they are changing fast, look around you...tell me what you see? These are difficult times. God is calling us to a new level in Him. Not as individuals but as the body of Christ. United in unity by the blood of Christ. As one body, God is training us to distinguish good from evil. He is opening our eyes to the realm of the spirit. The enemy is after our souls. We ought to regain what he has stolen from us. The Lord is developing in us a new sense that has nothing to do with the natural senses and everything to do with them at the same time. Your senses are more defined and alert. He has awakened our senses to the supernatural. We have a divine authority given to us by God himself. Because greater is He who is in you than him that lives in the world. We have the revelation of the present times, we know and have learned from our past. Today is the tomorrow we prayed for yesterday. This is what developing our sixth sense is. To know what God has bestowed on us with His Divine Authority and that we carry inside the Resurrection Power. We no longer live but Christ lives within us. So my dear sisters let go and let God. Praying for you all. May 2018 S♥️BG

#20th

Come seat with me at Our table #20 = complete, perfect waiting period Balance; mind, body, spirit Peace and tranquillity It’s a number of move 20 represents Redemption- deliverance from what ever it’s holding you back. It’s maintain faith and patience as your desires and wishes are being fulfilled. 20 years ago I walk thru the back door of TCPA for what I thought would be 6 months rehabilitation. Little that I know the Lord was going to used that place to changed me, transformed me and make me new. I pray two powerful prayer that day: -don’t let me leave this place the way I came in” -help me from myself. My job had sent me away on a leave of absence, and I had 6 months to get better and come back. But the Lord had a different plan for me. Weeks before coming in I had been diagnose with mental illness, schizophrenia, and addiction behavior. I was told I needed to go in to medication and because mental illness was in my family line I was destined to have it too. It’s genetic. It’s in you. But I refused to believe it. In the mist off all that was taking place around me The Lord showed me where I was going, if I didn’t make a move. Jail, mental institutions or morgue. I refused all. And arrange to come into a place where I could help myself, not just for me but in order to help my kids I needed to get my act together. I had to give legal rights to my sister over my youngest child. In order to work with me and become who I am today. I had to make a lot off sacrifices. Moved away, leave behind what was familiar. This year we I am celebrating 20 years off freedom, healing and restoration. It’s hasn’t been easy but it has been worth it. Today you are witnessing the power of God in my life. He did It for me. He would do it for you. Just give him a try. We had tried everything why not Jesus? You are walking the most difficult steps right now. Time has come for you to slow down , look inside and allow God to change you. It is not a coincidence but a divine appointment from the Lord himself, that you are reading this post. Today I celebrate you and the work you will allowed God to do in you and thru you. “The Good of God in Me, Overshadows the Wrong I Had Done” For His glory. For His Honor. “ Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 Ivette Diaz-Yee S❤️‍🩹BG #20 #mytestimony #redeem #freedomfromdarkness

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 Walk To Gethsemane

My Walk  to Gethsemane

Lent : 

The period of 40 days which comes before Easter, beginning on Ash Wednesday.  It's a season of reflection and preparation before the celebration.  Preparation before something is going to happen. 

The place where Jesus came face to face with his human self.  “If it is possible to remove this cup from me”.  Where He confronted not just His human aspect but the enemy himself. 

My walk to my Gethsemane would help me to learn to feed on the world of God.  Every day I learn something new about myself.  Where I’m learning to acknowledge my faults and short comings.  Its where I identify my sins and I wrestle with my emotions and where I’m learning to bring them under control.  It's the place where I honor my savior with all that is in me. My Spirit, mind and soul. It's where I’m able to unmask my fears.  The place where I’m learning to stand in Him. Possessing the Land in front of me. Its where I’m not just getting to the root of the problem but where in getting to the seed. Where everything originated. It's the place where I give the Lord control over my expectations.  Where I’m getting deeper because I’m willing to dig deeper in self, a place where I recognize discouragement and the place I’m learning to believe in myself and the word with is in me. 

These are a few of my notes since I asked the Lord what He wanted for me to do for the next 40 days. 

2/26-until today 

A little inside in to my word. 

Enjoy the reading, sorry for me miss spelling..

Love 💕 

Ivette

Hello 

  For the last few years maybe 3 years I have been fasting and praying for 40 days.  Staring on 2/26 until Easter Sunday. God has me praying first for me to be able to see me through his eyes; my faults, my short coming , fears and insecurity. The enemy will use those against us, specially during these trail times. 

My New Red Jacket

 My New Red Jacket

“ Take of his filthy clothes. “ 

Grow where you planted , even when you are transplanted. 

One morning as I’m getting ready to work, I came across this old red jacket. Had been used, few stains here and there, but still looked good.  I put it on and left for work. 

As I’m sitting in my desk I notice the liner is coming apart and is showing.  I Did my best to hide it. would fix once I get home, I heard this whisper saying “. This is you Ivette”

I ignored it, I didn’t want to listen. A few months later I came across the same jacket again and I remember what I heard not too long ago.  This time I took the jacket and I asked how can this be? 

I held the jacket closed to my heart and ask The Lord to show me. 

Open it I heard. I had put that jacket through a lot. From  the Cleaners to the washer and then to the dryer.  Once I opened the jacket I got to see the inside of it. Yeah this jacket represented me. I was walking inside the church, trying to stay away, hiding in plain view.  Carrying inside all my hurt, my fears , insecurities, disappointments, my lost confidence.  God was calling me out but I had been left bare, alone and broken by my own brothers and sisters. I was hiding within the shadows. 

Inner healing was taking place deep inside of me. God was working with my soul. All I wanted to do was to remove the hurt and hide all traces of my pass.  God wanted to make me whole and to share all our load. New from the inside out. 

No more running away no more dragging my feeds. Time was now for healing to take place. I allowed it. I broke down in tears and asked for his guidance and help. 

The Red Jacket is a  constant reminder that I can’t hide who I am. And the new tears that shows now it’s because doesn’t fit anymore because God has transplanted me and I would grow again and I would bloom where He has planted me.

Zechariah 3:3-5

Help Her With Her Laundry

 Help Her with Her Laundry 

Because we know what the word  means, we know the One who breathes the word onto existence. The devil knows the word and he uses it against us.  He brings part of it for his benefit. Partial hearing or selective hearing. People want to hear what they want, what’s convenience.

We are so caught up in ourselves , That is difficult to see clear; our vision of truths is fog with our own perceptions to even hear correctly. The  enemy enhances what he wants us to concentrate on. He twists our motives and uses our own emotions against us.  

 But God Patiently  helps us, directing us and waiting for our yes;  Allowing our self to self medicate and self diagnose what we may think we have. Trying to make sense where there is not sense, because they are undiscerned.  

Without getting deep in to the root of the problem, we dance around the issues we carry and made us who we are today. We make excuses for our behavior and personality, unwilling to see because it’s to  painful or subconsciously we have forgotten about it. In the midst of all we go  through life shifting blame.  Unable to look deep inside self. 

But God in his merciful love for us, he doesn’t leave us there. Alone and raw. He brings his word to us. He brings unqualified people to hold you up prayer. 

As we allowed him and give him permission ( the lord won’t push himself towards us) he starts going deep in self and show us glimpse of areas that need to be addressed, work on and face on. 

Maturity is a long time process and we are all in a process.  God is always ready for us.  So we could grow in the grace and knowledge of Him ( 2 Peter 3:18) 

People want to hear the good things over the real thing. They want to hear what tickle their ears.  

Don’t allow people to change who you are. Only God has that power to bring forth the change need it in you.  We can’t change them or make their walk easy. Short cuts are always the long way around. 

God didn’t create you to fit in but to stand out. People is not going to like what I have to said. But I know I would be standing in front of God to give an account for every word spoken , written or text. I’m not here to please man but to please God who knows the heart man.  

I am Only Human

 Reconcile to God 

Our times had become so chaotic that we had allow our mind to think that we have many races. But do we know the real meaning and definition of Race? Yes is related to racial but we, you and me belong to the only race that exists Human Race.  “Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man nostrils and the man became a living person “ Gen 2:7

Yet we have allowed society to dictated and to give us their interpretation of it. The word we need to look is ethnicity, definition according to google. 

Ethnicity: belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural. 

I just noticed something as I am filling up an application ; there is a place we are supposed to mark which one is your race. White, Black , American Indian , Asian/Pacific , Unknown or other. Since when we have allowed this to take place? All my life, until now. Since all this racial discrimination, racial disturbances started, I saw a division within us. Our humanity is at hand. We all belong to the human race. There is not another race but human.  We are all the same. You cut me and I bleed just like you. My ethnicity is different from many of yours, I was born in a small island of the Caribbean called Puerto Rico. Which it makes me a Puertorican woman. And yes there is not a place for me to mark , according to them my race. That means I don’t exit? I have no value? I am not black or white. Just a simple girls from the mountains of Puerto Rico , A human being. Yes there is not a place for me to identify myself in this application. Should I picked  “other” since when I consider myself other. Never and I’m not going to star now. But wait I breathe and feel just like you. 

We have allowed the enemy to run rampant around us, creating chaos every where he goes. We had allowed him to steal our identity and forgotten who we really are:  Children’s of God. 

We are created as the image of God. Man and woman he created.
