Peace be upon all of you in the name of Yeshua the crucified and ressurected. Apart from him there´s no salvation and no life.
I hereby testify that Adonai is my God and he is unique and i testify that Yeshua is the son of the heavenly father who was sent to rescue mankind. And i testify that only by his blood a sinner like me can enter everlasting life. And i declare my belief in the whole bible, all the prophets, apostles, jugdes and the other righteous servants of the Almighty.
Now i want to share my way to Yeshua to all of you.
Born in Germany to a christian mother and a father who is a pastor in the protestant church i always believed in God. I always believed in the bible and I was very content with that the main time.
Although i had to face hard times with my family, in school and with myself i think that most of the time i was happy and had a good life.
It all changed when i met the coolness factor. Meaning that i started smoking with 11, cursing the parents and finally when we moved to Hamburg i also started drinking with 14 and smoking weed with 15 sometimes.
My schoolmarks went down like the down jones does right now and i didn´t really love to live exept if i was out with my friends.
Even worse i was the first to blame those who believed in evolution and in gay marriage and i often seriously insulted them.
I even had the dream to one time build up a crusader army and "free" the world of all those who wouldn´t act like i did when at the same time i blamed everybody for not practising the bible i did nothing myself and found stupid excuses claim that getting drunk is permissible.
But the Lord helped me out when i went to Israel in 2006.
That was during the Lebanon war. I came to the desert were Moshe (may the Lord remember him) went with the Israelites and Aharon (may the Lord remember him).
There i started thinking about what i really did and i met some christians ( at that time i was still a christian ) who at least were very friendly people and we had a good time ( they didn´t know about my character ).
As we went to Jerusalem and i came to the western wall i finally decided to change my life. But although i did better i still was in darkness. Because i saw the prostetant church being very liberal i praised the catholic and orthodox church, starting to honour the sunday and to use icons and direct prayers to "saints".
But still Yeshua didn´t let me go but gave me Youtube where i found many videos talking about the true name of the messiah and his correct way and then finally one and a half year ago i decided to follow him in the way he loves.
Although i don´t have a congregation i started growing in faith and practise the way of moshiach and the prophets and apostles.
Although the journey wasn´t over ( it tool me half a year to take the step of eating kosher and i still have things to work on ) i know today that i am saved because my faith and his grace continue leading me towards truth. Being saved by his grace once gave me the power to change my life and attitude.
If i do now compare my graduation marks to my former marks it´s unbelieveable. If i tell others my story and witness to them they won´t even believe that i ever drank a drop of alcohol, praise be to the Lord who rescued me.
At the time i start to engage much more to witness to others and preach the truth in order to make my city, country and the whole world to a place of faith, mercy and love.
That´s why i am also calling out to you. A video on youtube, made by guya who are skilled in preaching may not help anyone over decades to accept messiah, but it helped me and it can help others and it is our duty and should be our goal to inform each and everyone on this planet about Yeshua´s deed on the cross.
Please brothers work on mission.
We need much more to be don.
Peace be upon everyone of you and may you all be strenghtened in your faith and may God the Almighty and Wise strenghten the messianic congregations and unite us regardless of age, race, nationality, social background etc.
Shalom
