Trust Me

I still remember the words my husband said as we drove around a late Sunday afternoon. “Do you trust God?” His tone was scary and firm, I knew something was going to happen and changed our lives forever. I said “If He is allowed to happen, He would see us through”. Was what I said, holding my breath and expecting his answer. The landlord is selling the house. We have 30-60 days to moved out. I stood silence for what it seems a long time. For the last few months I had asked if he was going to take advantage of the market and sell his property.  We had been there for 12 years. No it was his answer, every time I asked. We had pushed ourselves to paid off my new car. Since I had been driving ugly Betty a 27 year old Oldsmobile. Which literally was breaking on me. We only had one month to pay it off. My husband had always wanted a new truck so before we made the purchase, once again I had gone to the landlord and asked “Are you selling” No you would be the 1st to know. We went and purchased (finance) his new truck. A month later right before Mother’s Day I was told by my husband that we had to moved out. I felt my whole world coming to and end, how we would do this? Do we have the savings to pull this through? Are we going to be able to find a house in  this market? So many questions. I felt numb. Frozen. I could feel fear, anxiety creeping in. As we prayed. We came up with a plan. The following Tuesday at my lady's group I told them what had taken place. To hear them giving me referrals,  connections. I also heard my own children’s telling us, you can’t pack and move in 30 days, you’re crazy if you think that is going to be possible. Get ready for be taken advantage,  the market is hot. Be ready for a bidding war. You are going to over paid. The next day I had a medical appointment in which due to my level of anxiety my doctor recommended for me to see a psychiatrist and even putting me on medication. Which I refused. All I heard was Crazy. Every one was throwing that word at me. Little that they know. I had been fighting the system for 20 years. Due to my family lineage, mental illness run deep in my family. One uncle committed suicide and another aunt is under medication and even been in mental institutions. My sister and niece they both had mental breakdowns. So when I heard psychiatrist all I heard is you are crazy. As I came home or what had been our place for the last 12 years I heard in my heart the Lord saying “I have your home all you have to do is find it “ and yet at the same time another voice whispering and laughing “yeah try to find a house in this market is like finding a needle in a haystack”. (The Lord speak to your heart the enemy whispers in your ear) I had to closed myself to everyone and everything around me. Working full time, trying to find a realtor every thing all happening at the same time. I felt like I was inside a tornado, all around me was spinning out off control. But God. He kept me under the wings of his protection. He send a pastor friend my way to hear me and to listen to my cry, my fears, my anxieties.  I walked out of her office. Ready to confront the storm. Next day I found a mortgage broker who put me in contact with a realtor. Few times during that week, I visited few homes, other times that an offer was taking place. One night after we finishing driving around looking a new listing, we made few changes on our “demands” (my husband) we not longer where looking for garage or 2nd bathroom. Once we let go of the wants the Lord provide for us the place we were to call home. As I am driving to see the house The Lord said “claim it for is yours” as I drove to the house I said that “this is it, do what ever you need to do to get it “ what happen if they increased the price ? Then it isn’t for me. Are you going to look around? “I don’t need to” I heard myself saying. For I know the Lord himself had picked the house for us. So far he has make a way for the landlord to give us 6k, something about he saving our percentage for the years we had lived at his place. That took place on Monday, Tuesday we had a phone call from our realtor, they had accepted our offer. The other buyers had pull back. By the Grace and mercy of God. The help from my core, we moved exactly 45 days later. The Lord provided for us. He said “it’s about time Ivette, this is the fruit of your faithfulness”. When we allowed God to work for us, we work less. In the economy that we are. We were able to purchase a house, at incredible price, get extra money so we could start our new life’s in our new home. We had consecrated to the Lord. My office had become the headquarters for my Intercesory prayers.  The Lord said  “Trust Me” and we had. We look at Gods economy not at world economy. The Lord provided for us and He would continue providing.  Thank you Lord for your faithfulness and your grace. Ivette Diaz-Yee June 23, 2021

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

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
