Before I met Yeshua I was a NY/LA/MIAMI party girl. I had a "fabulous" life but had so many "problems" that I couldn't fix with all that I tried: therapy, yoga, psychics, medication, drugs and alcohol.
Even though my life was busy and fun I was very angry and afflicted and could not get settled. I really believed my life would change one day and I would just "get better".
I then met people claiming to be spiritual healers who turned out to be witches. They promised me healing but in reality did so much witchcraft on me I almost died and went to Hell.
That was their intention - to get more power from the devil by stealing my soul. I only realized I was in trouble after one year when I had incredibly monstrous demons surrounding me on every side, literally throwing me around like a chew toy.
Born and raised Jewish I always believed in God but had no idea I was out of covenant with Him. I considered myself "spiritual not religious". I had been to Temple and Israel many times in my life and loved my identity as such but had never prayed. At that moment, I cried out to GOD with every breath in my lungs.
I quickly sought out a Chabad Rabbi who could NOT help me. Why? Rabbis have religion and tradition but not GOD. Only GOD could save me. I turned to the church because I had recalled they spoke about Hell. They told me about Jesus and His power to save - I was scared because I was taught Jesus was the God of the Gentiles but I had no time to think..I invited Jesus into my heart that very moment.
Immediately, the larger demons stopped attacking me; the rest God used to train me in spiritual warfare like King David. Hallelujah! I learned Jesus IS Yeshua, the Messiah and the God of Israel who came to us as a Son, IMMANUEL!
The Mashiach who defeated our enemy satan by taking our sin on the cross and resurrecting to eternal power as King of the universe, Melech HaOlam!
All powers bow down to Him; only in Yeshua are we healed from sin, the source of all "problems" in the world. So now, my life has changed; the old me is dead and I am risen to new life in the Messiah, eternally saved by GOD who is YESHUA ADONAI. Mashiach Ben-Joseph + Mashiach Ben-David!
For Jewish people, the concept of God having a Son & a Spirit is very difficult for us to comprehend because we are taught the foundation of our faith is the Shema, that God is “echad” meaning “One.”
That is true, but when you begin to read the Bible, we see even from beginning that God sent His Spirit to “hover over the waters” at creation. He put His Spirit on many Israelites including Moses, David, Sampson & Joseph.
He is able to impart His Spirit to man!
In the Book of Isaiah, God told us that He would send His Son, Ben Elohim, who would come to us & become a sacrifice for our sins!
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” - Isaiah 9:6
He would be born to a virgin in Israel, conceived by the power of Gods Spirit! Over the years the woman’s name became known as Mary to the nations but her given Hebrew name is Miriam, whose husband was Yoseph of the line of Melech David.
“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” - Isaiah 7:14
This Son would be God Himself (Mighty God) who became one of us, live a sinless life and then offer Himself as a sacrifice for our sins on Passover:
“But He was pierced because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities. The chastisement for our shalom was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.” - Isaiah 53:5
He would offer salvation to Israel first, and then the message of salvation from sin through the Son would go to the nations:
“He says: “It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.” - Isaiah 49:6
Whoever believes in the Son, is saved from eternal death that came upon the earth when Adam & Eve fell. We receive God’s Spirit in our hearts & He gives us a new Spirit, born anew by His Spirit! We can enter into a relationship with God by His Spirit right now, not when we die!
