…but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Joshua 24:15 (in part)

It’s our decision to make. We have free choice and free will. It’s up to us

-How we live.

-Where we live.

-How we’ll treat people.

-Whether we accept this gift of salvation.

-Whether we'll live for God or surrender to people.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Psalm 91:1 KJV

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

Psalm 91:1 NIV

Sometimes I ask, what does it mean to dwell in the secret place of the most High? Where is that place? How do I dwell there? How do I know I’m there?

I read a devotional this morning that described the Bible as “sleeping with Jesus.” That spoke to me about dwelling in the secret place, in the shelter.

It’s a place of rest, comfort, peace. Dwelling in the secret place of the Most High is choosing to be under the care, provision, and protection of God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

And with that comes all sorts of benefits—I don’t have to be afraid, nor fight my own battles, God always provides. Victory, Salvation, Redemption, success, prosperity, forgiveness, healing…they’re mine.

Why? Because I decided to abide, to dwell with God.

-Yvette

Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.

Isaiah 43:18-19 NKJV

God still sees you and He cares. Where there is no path, he will make one. Where things feel lifeless or hopeless, he will bring new life.

I believe God is doing something new in Women Winners and Inspired Eagle Enterprise.

Do you sense for your life that change is coming? That a better way, a greater opportunity, new potential is available to you? Your destiny is calling you.

Trust Him to do what people cannot. He’ll make a way for you even when you don’t see how. Keep doing what God has called you to do.

-Yvette

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.

Ephesians 2:8 NKJV

It’s a choice to accept this FREE gift of God. I’m thankful for His grace and the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.

I accept and believe that I’m saved, definitely not because of anything I’ve done. It is the gift of God. My Lord, where would we be without Him.

I know many do not believe. It’s my prayer that everyone would accept the work Jesus did on the cross for us. That includes my family, friends, clients, customers, co-workers (past and present), people I know and don’t know. It’s free and I receive.

Do you? -Yvette

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

John 10:10 NKJV

Through Jesus Christ we can have an abundant life. Notice in the scripture it’s not just life, it’s life MORE ABUNDANTLY.

As Christians, we can have more than we can possibly imagine or think. We think we want good health, Jesus said through him we can be healed, free, and delivered (MORE ABUNDANTLY).

We want our children safe, Jesus said they can be saved, safe, and protected (MORE ABUNDANTLY)…spiritual renewal, financial increase, debt-free living, peace in our homes, a loving spouse, strong relationships…

Ask what we will, in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord, and watch out for the more abundantly part to follow. - Yvette

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV

A friend shared this quote for Worry Free Wednesday: “Worry is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do but never gets you anywhere.” - Erma Bombeck

I decided to share a relevant scripture. Yesterday was a bit of a stressor while finalizing plans for my relocation. What did I do? Well, I paused and prayed. The resulting comfort was like a blanket over me. It was the best decision. Because I was able to refocus on solutions and a path forward. But that peace and calm didn’t happen until AFTER I took that situation and how I was feeling about it to our Lord in prayer.

Try it. Instead of holding on to the negative situation and emotions, give it to God. He can handle it far better than we can. - Yvette

2 Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, It will not tarry.”

Habakkuk 2:2-3

I’ve learned the value in writing the vision. We’re human and we forget details. But when it’s in writing, we can read it over and over again. I’ve seen the delay for my family and myself. We’ve waited, because God’s Word is true. Delayed does not mean denied. Wait for it. It will come. I’m living that life even now. You can read our Vision here.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

John 14:6-7 NKJV

This is the week before Easter Sunday. I’m reflecting on God’s goodness and Jesus’ faithfulness and obedience to our Father. It was a sacrifice for Jesus to give up His life as a sin offering for us.

Let’s be honest, it’s not something we would do or could do. Thank you Jesus for being the way, the truth, and the life. Thank you for showing us the way back to God. I choose to accept the work you did on the Cross. - Yvette

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:8-9

By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

1 Corinthians 15:2 NIV

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

John 14: 27 NIV

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31 KJV
