Here is the patience of the set-apart ones: here are they that keep the commands of Elohim, and the faith of Yeshua. [Rev. 14:12]
I am of the understanding that the testimonies we give are to honor and magnify Him that saved us and that our testimonies will be of us having that same faith Yeshua haMachiach had in His Father, the Ever Existing One, YHWH. Blessed be His name!
My Dad taught me from the when I was a teenager. He had been an atheist from before my birth so I rebelled when he returned to the Word. Being of a rebellious age, I did not learn what could have been a blessing... that would have pervented much pain and sorrow in my life and for those who loved me.
At the lowest point I had nearly alienated my children and grandchildren from me because of the growing bitter spirit in me. I lost my job, my home, and my marriage because of the bitterness which broke down my immune system [causing diseases such as Fibromyalgia, Lupas, Vasculitis and Rhemetiod Arthritis,] all of which prevented me from living a "normal" life.
But in His awesome mercy my Savior, and Master, opened my eyes to the real situation. That it was me, through my choices in my rebellion against His perfect ways, that was causing my own troubles and not the fault of others. Once I did turn back to Him, my entire life was turned around.
When I was that rebellious girl, I prayed to have a child and promised that if He gave me a child I would raise it in His service. I broke my covenant with Him but He [blessed be His name] never broke covenant with me. He gave me a daughter and through His grace alone taught her enough that (while it took her 36 years because of my neglect to teach her of Him], she has given her heart to Him. Praise and glory be to the Most High, YHWH, forever more.
He has reestablished in me my Hebraic roots and is in the process of making me a fit vessel for His New Kingdom. He brought to my attention Isa. 49:25 where He promises to save our children if we remain steadfast in our faith. Praise be to the Most High Elohim!
He brought me through a healing process using natural remedies; good nutrition, exercise, water, sunshine, temperance/balance in all things, fresh air, rest and most important, trust in His divine power to heal and to save.
He has exposed me to prophetic insights by comparing the two prophetic companion books of Revelation and Daniel with the rest of Scripture. And revealed that we are called, in this day, to be His ambassadors, the Eliyahs that are to come [if you will] of Malachi 4:5.
He showed me, through His other ambassadors, the meaning of the three angels' messages of Revelation 14:6-12 and 13:1-18, and how they apply to us today.
In Acts 3:21, He has told us that ALL divine matters must be restored before the Second Coming of the Son of Adam. And has shown me that this includes, but is not restricted to, His true name, His appointed times, the meaning of undefiled worship and most importantly the truth about YHWH our Elohim, that if you have seen the Perfect and Loving Son, then you have seen the true nature of His Father as well. That He is not the tormenting, arbitrary, monster Satan has tried to make Him out to be.
I praise the name of my Almighty Elohim [Gen. 1:26] in Their everlasting love for that which They created and in which They want not one to be lost. May we all walk diligently and uprightly before Him as He bestows upon us His unlimited grace in wisdom, discernment and faith tempered with His perfect love.
Shalom
