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

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 Sacrifice

Here I kneel oh Lord. I don't have riches, but from what I have I bring forth my offering. Let your purifying fire burn the excess of self-reliance, self-absorbed. Trying to help you instead of waiting for you. Let me not light up the fire, but let your fire consume the altar of my heart. Teach me how to present myself as a living sacrifice; holy and pleasing unto you. Becoming the billboard that shows forth the glory of God. Breaking down the old self-altar and rebuilding all new; with you at the center of all. Here I am Lord once again. Purified my heart, my motives my actions, and my reactions. In Jesus name, I pray, amen. Ivette Diaz-Yee August 2023 #elijah #restauration #purifying

The Engagement Ring

The Lord has me praying since 1:00 am this morning. In the mist off all. In and out of my sleep the Lord still speaks. He gave me a vision or dream in which I saw a beautiful engagement ring, I saw a bride sitting down but her dress was dirty, then I saw around me many people in wedding dresses, different styles but what I notice was that some off then where wrinkle or stains. What is going on I ask...? I’m coming for my bride the church not the building, some off you guys had to battle a lot of obstacles to be here, I don’t look at the outer appearance, but I The Lord look at the heart. Your heart is ready, you had push hard. We are not longer dating, but our relationship had change. Today we are engaged. My ring in your fingers mean that Im taking you seriously and the I’m coming for you. God has been waiting for so long for this type of relationship from his bride the church. This time, which has been force upon to us let us appreciate and do what He has requested of us. Seek him and you would find him when you seek him with all your heart. Cry out to him. Prayer change things and circumstances. It’s going to get ugly before it gets better. But at the end we would see the blessings of the Lord in the land of the living. We had been fighting an invincible enemy BUT we serve an invencible God. Don’t let the word distract us. Let us keep fighting in prayer. Push.!!Pray Until Something Happen. What the enemy try for wrong The Lord is changing it around. ..!! Pray all day, pray constantly, and have a song in your heart. In Jesus name Amen Ivette Diaz-Yee #18 of 40 days of prayer “my personal walk to Gethsemane “ But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, - Philippians 3:20 https://biblegateway.com/passage?search=Phil.3.20&version=NIV

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

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

The Boxing Gloves

The Lord is giving us the power to do all things we would not otherwise be able to do. As we prayed and worship I see this boxing gloves. I don’t know if I am to take them or if they belong to some one else. I am intrigued by then. Did it means we are ready to go into the ring. Does it means we are being trained for the great match of our life time. Still I gaze at them. But by me gazing at them without putting them on they do nothing. They won’t win the greatest match if they are not put to used. As I look again, some one is giving me the gloves for me to put on. Yes, I am to put them on. We are the gloves in Gods hands. Fitted perfectly for our hands. Without his power, and strength letting us on, we are useless. His power in us unable us to do what other way, we won’t be able to attain. The time is here: today is the day, not looking back, you had been trained in the fires of afflictions. The Lord himself had trained you, kept you , lead you and direct you to where we stand today. We are still in the ring of life. We may had loose few rounds, but we are not loosing the fight. For we are fighting the good fight of faith. Go in, all out for Jesus. This fights it’s been fixed. In the end, We win. Thank you, Lord. 💕💕 Ivette Diaz-Yee

Conviction (Finishing Strong)

Conviction A firmly held belief or opinion. Views Thoughts Strong beliefs ( Article) of faith It drive your behavior and actions in every decision involving right and wrong. Conviction would put a stop to a wrong doing if we allow conviction to guides us; it will become our personal internal warning sign, exposing danger, magnifying manipulation, deception and lies. As believers, convictions lives inside of us. for me Conviction is vital part of the Holy Spirit in me, living within me and tru me. It had changed me and help me to become the woman that I am today. It truly exposes the motive of the heart. It had stop me from making the wrong decisions or spoken the wrong word. In these days and hours that we live, we need to allow the conviction to be our compass, always directing us upward to the Father in Heaven. “But when he the spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth” John 16:13 S❤️BG 2022

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. 

Develop Your Sixth Sense

 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 have the tendency 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 just incase 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, 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 whats 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 apon us. 

The 6th sense is essential for the battle we are facing today. “For we are not struggling against 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 strong holds.

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 up 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 it at the same time. Your senses are more defined and alert. He has awaken our senses to the super natural. We have a divine authority given to us by God himself. Because greater is He who is in you then 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 have 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.
