You are my hiding place, You always fill my heart with songs of
deliverance whenever I am afraid, I will trust in YOU!!! Oh Yahweh my Elohim you
are so awesome and powerful and have brought me out and through so much for Your
honor and Glory! My thinking about the times, that I know of, that you had
delivered me. There were probably hundreds more times that I don’t even know
about, nor recall. Praise Your Holy and Wonderful Name!
I was conceived News Years Eve 1965 and born exactly 9 months later. I was not
even supposed to have been born. My mom had still birthed twins some 3 or 4 yrs
prior to my birth and had other complications hence she was told she would never
have children. Imagine her surprise when the doctor told her then that she was
pregnant. It was just prior that my mom had fallen off the back of my dad’s
motorcycle and "whatever had been wrong was now back in place” the doctor said,
and that she was surely going to have a baby. Hallelu-Yahweh!
Thank You, Abba Father, for teaching me about Your magnificence at a young age
of 7 in parochial school. I learned that You are everywhere and omnipresent!
This was so awesome of a revelation to me. It was shortly after that time that
we went camping and I saw the most beautiful rainbow~ so complete and huge! I
recall being at that campground (where there were many copperhead snakes) and I
went to hop on my bike and I later noticed a snake had curled itself around the
bar of my bike. I immediately jumped off the bike and ran for help. I recall my
uncle chopping it up with the ax. I know Yahweh God was with me at such a tender
age.
I remember one day being on the bus heading home from school (at the beginning
of the school year) and a neighbor girl went to get off at a stop that was not
ours. I think I heard a voice say “Go with her”. I jumped up and got off the bus
wondering what she was doing. Little did I know she got mixed up and thought
that it was our bus stop. Anyhow two little lost and upset 8 year old girls were
walking down a busy street wearing our little school dresses, carrying our lunch
boxes, with about 25 cents between us. I noticed a gas station ahead and we
reluctantly went and approached a lady getting gas and we asked her for a ride
to our bus stop. She must have seen our tear stained eyes and Yahweh was surely
watching over us. This complete stranger brought us right to our bus stop no
problem. Praise Yah!! Yahushua in me always is watching out for the welfare of
others!
It was about this time I started to see the power of prayer in my life, too. I
had first asked for a baby sister and would you believe my mom had one within a
year (little did I know till recently my mom was actually considering an
abortion then due to bad situations with my brothers birth 5 years prior). Later
I asked for a pool. My folks could not afford one and actually bought one
though, and it got delivered to our house. What are the chances that my dad
realized his mistake, cancelled the order and the pool company went out of
business. This pool sat in our driveway for over a year (or longer) in boxes
until my dad and uncle finally went ahead and put it up since they were not
coming to get it. Some of the best summers ever! Guess who had to keep the pool
clean? I felt it was my gift from Yah, so my pool, LOL.
I accepted the Messiah at age 12 along with my family. It was my dad who led us
to Yahweh God as he had a wonderful personal experience with Him, so that it had
changed his life. He says it has been 30 years ago in Feb. 2009. My dad worked a
lot and so I did not know what to do to get closer to God but I tried to read
the bible and pray. I would try to read psalms and proverbs each night before
going to sleep. I was afraid then of reading Yahushua’s beatings and piercings
since it was horrible to me as I was raised pretty sheltered. Being the oldest
child I did try to be a positive role model, and the hero. We went to church
sometimes and other times had bible study at home with the family.
As a teenager I used to think I would not be an effective witness for Yah
because I did not have a testimony. Boy does the devil lie. I tried to be good
teenager and show His love and live a righteous life. I did not get into trouble
much or hang out with the wrong crowds. My friends even knew how I actually
tried to save myself for my husband and hence the devil knew this so he tried to
get at me to break my vow (or promise) another way. My childhood/ neighbor
friend had a dad who was a Pastor of a small church. It was actually this friend
who brought me to her dad's church a few times and that had reinforced some
teachings to stay on the right path. She also taught me that I was a people
pleaser. I was upset as I wanted to be with my friends or my boyfriend and yet
my family was vying for my time too and then there was homework. Not to mention
working (by babysitting for neighbors or cleaning their homes) as much as I
could because I had to buy my own clothes and things I wanted or needed. I would
get emotional at times as I so much wanted to have everyone like me and yet be a
peacemaker. Sometimes I would just cry not even knowing why. I know now that I
wanted more of Yahweh and I know He wanted me too~ more of me. That void needed
to be filled (with Him).
Unfortunately, I was led into sin with a new friend and was tempted in a way
that would alter my walk with Yahweh. She became a good friend over the course
of a few months and little did I know (till later) she was trouble. Well, I was
invited to go on a trip with this friend and her older sister that was the trip
of a lifetime. The night prior I was seduced by this best friend (I did not know
she was a victim of incest or homosexual). I never would have done this on my
own. The enemy spoke to me that night as I recall hearing what I thought was my
conscious ‘just try it you can always stop and what if you lose a friend if you
don’t give in to her and then you don’t get to go on this trip’. I had seen the
line drawn as I was quickly contemplating what to do. And unfortunately I
believed the lie that I could go right back over the line. Let’s just say I gave
in and was stuck in the mire of a pit and could not get out for a while. I would
pray and try to praise Yah to help me to get out and it seemed He was not
listening (or He did not think I was ready yet?) He was seemingly far from me. I
tried to repent to no avail. It was only this person I sinned with, yet so
wrong!!
I was in a head on collision that could have ended my life as I was living in
this rotten sin. Praise Yahweh He intervened, I truly believe, and instead of a
single scratch on me and being shook up, the vehicle I was driving and the
vehicle that lost its breaks, and hit me head on, was totaled. I praise Yahweh
He had His hand upon me as I could have been in the deepest pit of hell if I
perished then and there. My mom told me later that day (a witness to the
accident had called my folks early that morning to tell them of the accident and
to meet me at the scene) then when my little sister awakened to the scurrying of
my brother and dad getting ready to go to find me and not knowing what to
expect, my sister was frantic, crying hysterically as she thought the worse. It
surely could have been. Thank You, Yahweh that it was not!! You are sooo good to
me, even when I did not deserve it.
I was feeling so alone in my little world of this one sin I was seemingly stuck
in. I had no one to talk to or confide in which to reach out for help (or so I
thought or was led to believe yet again by the enemy). Yet Yah heard my plight
and one day I read a bumper sticker on a car in front of me one day while
driving (the ‘Sound of Life’) and I was led to Christian radio. I quickly
memorized the numbers of that radio station and listening to it helped give me
the strength I needed to reconnect with Yahweh via praise and deeper prayer and
get the focus off of myself. (Psalm 118:21 says I shall give thanks to You for
You have answered me and You have become my salvation).
Then I met the man, who was to be my husband, who was another believer (who was
also living in sin) and it must have been him and my folk’s prayers that gave me
the courage to end this pitiful sin (as they both had inquired of me about this
relationship to which I denied, unfortunately, as it was so shameful to me). I
finally got the strength and Yah helped me climb out of the pit. He surely set
my feet upon His Rock, Hallelu-Yah!
Several months later I made an even bigger mistake and married this man. I
recall inquiring to Yahweh, 'God, if you don't want me to marry this man then
please put the writing on the wall in big letters.' Well, I was still very naïve
and I was bossing Yahweh around. Not good. Of course, I have since learned about
waiting on Yahweh and how it is suppose to be about Him and His time not my own.
I also went against my parent’s wishes and married this man as they were afraid
for me making another big mistake. I cried because my dad (blessed with a great
vocal voice) would not sing at the wedding.
I recall knowing I should tell my fiancé of my sin (as he told me his past
problems), prior to getting married, but I thought it would kill me. In fact,
this was another lie (of the enemy) that I would die if anyone else found out as
my family had known now. I so wanted to tell him. My mom would say I went from
the frying pan into the fire. When my fiancé and I would be driving I would
notice how easily angered he would be sometimes because of other drivers (for
example), even on his best behavior. I did not like that at all. Yet I had lived
such a sheltered life, so I tried to not pay much attention to his
imperfections. After all, I was free now and maybe I could help him or change
him to live better for Yah.
My husband and I did both did rededicate our lives to Yahweh God when we married
and really tried to live solely for Him. I know I needed to get serious as now I
was redeemed and given another shot to get it right. There would be no more
compromising! I was now freed from the laws of sin and death, hell, and the
grave but I knew I still had to tell my husband the truth of my past! So now I
was really trying to seek Yahweh with my whole being. I got baptized in the
River by our new house (we were blessed with an old fixer upper). This was just
one of many miracles that were unfolding. I received a 100% on 3 different area
exams for a job position I always wanted and had studied for. Oh how I wanted to
hear from Yahweh God and please HIM, wholeheartedly! I was working at a local
hospital and was drawn to two older lady co-workers. It was the Savior living in
them actually that attracted me. They were very sweet sisters of great faith and
always had a song (or were humming), it was something I wanted and felt I
needed.
Things were going so well between hubby and I and we believed we were in love.
We were involved with the church now (though never did become members) but we
would pray and pass out tracks together and try to help others. I recall lying
in bed one night with my husband snoozing next to me and all the blessings
around us with great jobs and health, yet felt like the bottom was about to drop
out. I felt a panic come over me. I started weeping and praying quietly. Yahweh
interrupted me: “What? Haven’t I taken care of you this far?” “Yes” I responded.
“Then what makes you think I would let you go now?” He asked. I was awestruck.
This was the first time I finally heard from Him audibly! I immediately had a
peace where I was drifting off to sleep. Then I recalled how my dad had taught
me that if you think you heard from Yah to ask Him to repeat it for you as a
confirmation. Would you believe Yahweh did repeat it Word for Word! I have never
forgotten it to this day!! Years later I would finally find in His Word
(Deuteronomy 31:8) that HE promised that He would never leave us nor forsake us!
Little did I know that later I would have to hang on to His words (as like
holding onto the hem of Yahshua’s garment) for dear life.
About a year after our wedding I finally did confess and told my husband of my
past sin. It was the beginning of another type of hell that I had to endure now,
the wrath of an angry man who was supposed to be a true believer. Though I
apologized deeply from my heart to him and he seen the true tears of the weight
that had been on me for about 2 years it was a rough time. Though I felt the
nice release and Yah’s peace that surpasses all understanding yet I also felt
the soon coming wrath of the enemy who wanted me to die of shame (having someone
else know, other than my family, and the man I loved for that matter whom I
never wanted to hurt in a million years). It was the fact that I had hurt Yahweh
and grieved His precious Spirit that hurt me most, though. And to this day I
feel the pain sometimes and I am so glad I have been redeemed!
My husband would say he had me on a pedestal and though he shouldn’t have, only
Yahweh belongs there... he kicked me off it quick. Things had never been the
same, now I was, what felt like, the doormat. He did try to forgive though he
was to never forget. And years later when he was upset for me for something he
would use this situation to hurt my feelings time and time again. Yet I knew I
was forgiven by Yahweh, Hallelu-Yah! The husband was really looking down at me
now. Yes, Praise Yah, HE, too, was looking upon me and was with me every step of
the way.
Shortly after my confession, my husband was wanting to drink and drug and even
experiment with steroids (so to build a better body). I was totally against all
of it knowing when we married that he had trouble with drugs and alcohol in the
past and was trying to stay sober. I went to AA meetings with him I would feel
my heart break over these men and women who had lost almost everything they had
cause of alcohol and or drugs. They were in a pit like I had been and it was so
hard to get out. My heart would break for these people so much that I even
promised Yah that I would never drink again if he took away the desire for mixed
drinks that I would occasionally enjoy. Yah did just that and I did not drink
for the next 13 plus years. Now my husband was hanging with the wrong people and
I was against that. Though I praise Yah I had never seen him totally drunken I
did not like what I had seen at all. He was changing into another person and it
was not pretty. In fact it was like two different people I was living with.
One day my husband’s friend (and drug supplier), had just left our home I
reminded my husband how wrong this was and how I was against his using. Well he
grabbed my throat and tried to strangle me right there in our kitchen after
renting my blouse of all it’s buttons in a single tear of anger. I had seen deep
hatred in his eyes despite my having the peace that surpasses all understanding
knowing Yahweh was with me, though, so I did not care if I lived or died. I was
right with HIM and I knew I would be with Yah in paradise. Well the husband let
go after a very long minute or two what seemed like forever and very
uncomfortable. I was so shocked I cannot even recall what I did after that. I
think he left and I went to the bedroom and cried to Yahweh. No one has ever
laid a hand on me before. His use of drugs and alcohol were escalating now and I
noticed he would drink and then go to bed. I was really trying to seek direction
from Yah and would get in His Word more. A couple days later when my husband
went to sleep after drinking quite a bit I had this fear and urging to get away
from him. Around 2 or 3 AM with the husband still sound asleep I threw a bunch
of clothes into a few garbage bags and then quietly put the bags in my (first
and only new) car and left. Not even knowing where I was to go but maybe to my
best friends home (the Pastors daughter) in MD. I only had about $20 which was
for gas. I knew Yahweh would get me to my friends at least and I would have to
be led by Him in what to do after that.
I was shaking and very nervous driving from our home. I noticed the lights and
seen it was a pick up truck in my rear view mirror gaining on me fast. It was my
husband and he was not happy. I sped up and so did he. I asked Yah to get me to
an area that was not desolate but near the apartments that I knew was up ahead.
As soon as I arrived to that exact area he cut me off with his truck and nearly
missed hitting me. I locked my doors immediately as he rushed up to the car and
sees the bags in the back seat. He is screaming at me to get out of the car. Of
course I refuse. He takes his fist and shatters the windshield with one wild
blow. Now I am really thinking this is it, he is going to kill me for sure. I am
praying and crying yet trying to keep calm knowing Yahweh said He would be with
me. The husband starts hitting the driver side window now and yelling for me to
get out. Finally and quite reluctantly I did. I had just seen a few tenants in
the apartments turning on their lights due to the noise. Husband grabs me again
by the throat and pushes me into the car. Now I am fervently praying. (“Yahweh
if you want to take me home please do so now. I cannot keep living like this. I
know my life is not my own anymore as I was bought with a price.”) I knew that
if Yahweh had delivered from my pit of hell years prior that I would serve Him
wholeheartedly no matter what! Hallelu-Yah!
Well with hands of steel around my neck and my breath about gone the police
arrived. But just prior he lets go making me promise to say that 'all is ok'
when the police ask, or else!! So I was made to lie to them that everything was
ok and to agree with him that we had a little fight. Couldn’t they see the
window smashed in, I wondered. How upset I was or marks on my neck? They did not
want to get involved and this terrorist assured them we were going straight home
because now I was not to drive the car with a shattered window. I think I was
shaking the most ever as I slowly drove back to the house with this potential
killer following me. There were no cell phones then so I could not call my
family who were ½ hour a way. My heart is racing just recalling all this. This
was the beginning of many thousand of nights sleeping with practically one eye
open for fear of my life.
A couple days later I pretended I was going to work and instead went to the
police and then to court and got a restraining order. I recall going back to the
police with the document later so I can get some clothes as I was staying with
friends whom I met at the church. I was very frightened. I had never in my life
seen a grown man beg on his knees with tears rolling down his face asking me to
forgive him. It was very hard to see even in front of two cops whom we did not,
yet, know. I still got my things and left for about a week. With his promising
of repentance and not doing drugs anymore I came back home and he made me to
reverse the order of protection. My family and friends who knew were not very
happy with me and it was the start of many more trials of people who Yah put in
my life as my own support system. Many were scared for my life.
My husband and I had tried to get closer and things got better between us for a
while. We were back in church together and trying to be role models for the
Messiah. Then I would see the ugly husband come out time and time again. I would
try to get closer to Yahweh God and the enemy would counter attack me through
the husband. I recall reading a book on my bed in some rare time alone about
changing the world one child at a time (as I wanted children eventually but it
was still about our timing, not HIS like it should have been). The husband seen
me reading and I even may have mentioned how Yah was using this author to help
challenged kids and he grabbed the book out of my hands and ripped it in pieces
like a rabid animal. Unreal I thought to myself.
A couple years go by and I was so busy with work. I hated not having hardly any
time to pray and praise Yah yet I was really trying to let the Light and Love of
the Messiah in me to glow esp. at work. The more I would try to let it glow at
home the more wrath I felt and had to endure. One day on my way home from work
one night, I got rear ended in a car accident. Little did I know this was
(another) wake up call to give Yahweh more of my time but I did not head the
call and I went back to work with a collar on my neck and requested light duty.
They worked with me even in pain and pain killers. So now I had exercises to do
as my neck was never the same now. Each morning before work I had to try to
stretch out just so I could work in this heavy demanding job.
My husband and I would usually talk as I was doing these exercises. One morning
I was doing this little routine and I guess he did not like what I said or maybe
I was not giving him enough attention, not sure, but he got on top of me and
once again he grabbed my now damaged neck and proceeded to strangle me. This
time I was not going to let him. I noticed my opportunity to knee him as hard as
I could and I did just that. He keeled over and I grabbed my lunch and shoe's
and key’s (always left in my shoes now JIC) and took off for work shaking like a
leaf. I knew what to do now and got off early from work and went to get another
order of protection. I stayed in hiding with friends yet again. I would have
stayed at my folk's house but he knew where they lived, of course. I did not
want to have to worry about them, too. I felt as alienated from my family as I
surely had little time for them. What little time I had not working was for the
husband despite his selfishness and abuse as he was quite controlling and
demanding.
Sometimes he would go to my place of employment and harass me if he was not
calling me to bother me and get me in trouble. So many were afraid not just for
me but with me. He was like a ‘loose cannon’. I don’t know how many times I was
scared for my life and my co-workers lives thinking he would come in there (as I
was now working inside the office) and shoot us all. I had envisioned it too
many times to count. Yahweh was with me though as He said He would be. I would
still talk kindly to my husband and lovingly and he would apologize and I would
again go back to him. Again I had to resend the restraining order and the judge
was not happy about it. She had the pitied look that she knew I was being forced
to do this again. Divorce was not in my vocabulary. I wanted to please Yahweh
God and felt I was doing the right thing.
Now each time we would separate after fights and I went back to him, my family
and close friends (with the exception of my dad and couple friends) would hurt
me even worse by not talking to me. I know people bent over backwards to help
and try to protect me but that had to be what hurt the most (their tough love on
me). Just as much as a man I loved, trying to kill me. I was so alone most of
the time now, even when I was with him. No true friends anymore or my sister or
my mom. Boy did that hurt until I would leave him again and then my mom or
sister would talk to me and comfort me. Thank You, Yah for being there, for
listening for letting me cry on You and for teaching me to solely rely on You.
Hard and painful lessons I have learned for sure.
On a day off one day we went to a restaurant for breakfast together. The tension
would be so thick and his words horrible to me even in public. I recall going
into the ladies room to get my tearful self together as I so wanted to walk out
the backdoor forever and run away. Yet a lady whom I did not know was in there
watching me contain my tears and she may have said something like "it's going to
be ok" and I accepted it as I was always hope filled. The very next day at work
I received a greeting card from this person, as she had recognized me and was
one of my many customers (and come to find out she was a believer) and was
encouraging me, praise Yah! HE was now sending me angels disguised as people,
and I was encouraged.
I would be able to get away a couple of times to see my little sister and her
family, praise Yah! She lived very far at the time and it was always a blessing
to be around her. I would cry each time when I came back home. Oh, how I wanted
what she had in a loving marriage and little one's. One day after one such trip
seeing her new baby and missing her dearly Yahweh interrupted me and my pity
party. I was tearfully drying my hair at the time thinking about my sister and
her family and Yah spoke: "It is nice to love your sister and all, BUT~ you
better love and put me first and foremost in your life." I almost dropped the
hair dyer. I was an emotional mess all day even at church that my husband did
not even know what to do with me. He took me to my folks and I just told them
what I told you. I had no idea Yahweh was this jealous but He is! And after all
I have been enduring, I thought that He had my undivided attention now but I was
still too busy.
Years go by quickly and we are more like roommates though we would try to get
along (or shall I say I tried the hardest). We were both throwing our time and
energy into our jobs and even college. Homework was what was done on what little
free time there was. He still would drink and drug but at least he stopped the
steroids because it was really making him mean. His temper was still there
though and his driving was horrendous. I cannot tell you how many times I
thought he was going to kill us both while driving and how many times I was
ready to simultaneously take off my seat belt and open the door to jump out of a
moving truck (I just felt like I could not take it much longer). Praise Yah He
delivered me so many times and got me wherever we were going but the stress
level was way up there. I wanted so much more of Yahweh yet the enemy wanted to
keep me in the little fearful rut I was in. I don't wish that on anyone!
Since I would go to my sisters every couple years it was agreed he would go on a
hunt once in a while. One year he chose a wild boar hunt and he wanted me to go
and to photograph it for him. (and spend the weekend together away for a
change). So, we are up on this hill watching for the boar to run below the
little knoll. We are looking at other squirrels playing nearby and just like
resting and waiting. Suddenly I thought I heard this still small voice (or the
thought in my head just appeared) to scoot back a couple inches and lean against
the tree (as we were sitting side by side). I no sooner leaned on the tree and
KAPOW!!!!! The very large caliber hunting rifle he had on his lap, facing toward
me, had accidentally gone off just nearly missed my torso. The guides were
calling on the radio screaming why he just scared off the boar and what
happened??? He is all apologetic that he swore the safety was on ~etc....Yup, no
doubt about it, Yah was with me that day and whether what husband said was true
or not there was no doubt the enemy did have clear intentions to kill me. Praise
Yah for another day!! As we do have to live daily like it is our last in prayer
and submission to Abba Yahweh.
As most were worrying about Y2K I started to hear about some of Yah's truths
from my dad who was now having more time to ‘dig’, and was led by Yah, as he was
now semi-retired. He would email articles about the true Hebrew Names of Yahweh
God and His Son, Yahshua, and the facts about pagan holidays. I recall I was
feeling quite upset hearing of this and knowing I had been so misled all these
years. It still bothers me today but I thank Yahweh for these truths so we may
better serve and obey Him. The friction caused by my not wanting to observe
Christmas anymore was another great strife as he would go all out for it knowing
I was against it. I would gently try to show him how it was wrong and tell him
about the Name truths of Yahweh and His Son, Yahushua, and boy would he get so
offended with his firmly believing that I was so misled. I was really being
treated so badly and harshly that the fear was escalating again. It truly was
like a vicious cycle.
Then I was praying about not going to Christian Sunday church (as I had even
felt that the spirit had left in the mid to late 90's). I would still go with
hubby as he was kind of forcing me for a while there, when he was up to going to
church. Yes he was acting like a part time Christian. One day a week he would
try to treat me good and get along with others, it was rough and sad to be a
part of. The road rage was still surly out of control no matter what day it was.
Anyhow, praise Yahweh I can write this and I have peace now. I can do all things
through Yahushua who strengthens me.
One night he took some sleeping pills he got from a nurse friend. It seemed like
he had a bad reaction. I did not know what he did or took or how many as one
night he was trying to get into the closet that housed the furnace. I was
worried to put it plainly. He was acting like he was drunk. He was even then
fervently looking for a razorblade. Why? Don't know, but I thought the worse,
but now I was going to call this woman that gave him the drugs. She rushes over
with her mom and we end up calling poison control who calls the ambulance and
the police. The husband fights with the police and they end up carrying him down
the stairs to the waiting ambulance in shackles and handcuffs because he would
not let the paramedics take his vitals. I was so frightened that the police had
me wait on the deck outside while they pinned him down. I was so scared he was
going to do something worse like try to reach for a gun. Anyhow I go up to the
hospital with one of his other friend who is also a nurse. I go in to see him in
the room (he has charcoal all over his face and is still shackled to the bed)
and he is yelling and cursing at me like crazy. I was crushed even more so. I
could not do anything right (so he led me to believe and feel, consistently).
The nurse or doctor told me that a psychiatrist was called and should be there
in the next few hours. I was relieved, went home to sleep, and waited for her
call. Finally he will get some of the help he needs I had believed. Well she
called and said he was being released and for me to go get him. I broke down and
cried knowing I could not save him and he needed Yahweh (and possibly
professional help). He is such a smooth talker he was able to convince her he is
ok and that it was all me. I had to bring a friend with me to go get him I was
so fearful. He did not let that go for a long while nor the fact that because
the police seen the stuffed deer head trophy's and hunting rifles on the walls
they came and confiscated the rifles. What an ordeal that was. I was relieved
though that they did that as the weapons added to my fears since the hunt.
Things quieted down a bit until the topic of church came up or if he heard me
pray or try to read the WORD all hell would literally break loose. I wanted so
badly to live righteously and set apart for Yahweh. Sometimes the hubby seemed
like he did not want to live at all. It was tough and he would not go for help
or couples counseling (after a short time that we did) and my counselor was
really suggesting I get out. I clearly recall standing in our little bedroom
office and he came in and he said he wanted a divorce. I was not surprised but
yet I was like in a fog of shock because I did not believe in it (though I was
his fourth wife). I was solely trying to keep it together and it was not
working. Then he even said that he just talked to his mom and she said if she
was here she would help me pack. Though I felt shocked about this all I was
still confident that it was not Yahweh's will, or was it?
Another year or so goes by and he is not doing well at his job now, cause he
can't sleep, (cause he picks on me and torments me because I am serving Yahweh).
Anyhow he takes it out on me how bad he feels though I am still pressing into
serving Yah even more. In fact, I wanted to go to see my boss as I was feeling
convicted for having to work on the Sabbath (Saturday). So I compile the list of
scriptures pertaining to not working on Yah's Holy Day that is to be set apart
for Him and I bring it to see the boss. He looked at me like I was nuts and
explained how many others want Saturday off and they had worked there longer
than me, etc… I recall praying to Yah, either help me to get another job or get
me out of here so I may better serve and learn more of You. About 6 months later
or so another position became available and I had to pass the test to get it, if
no one else bid on it. I got it and passed the test the second time, praise Yah,
and now I had Wednesdays and Sundays off but still wanted Saturday off. I
started the job soon after and it was good and in another office. I was thankful
to get out of the first one in the Ghetto as my good co-worker friends were
there and I was still fearful for their lives, sad to say, as they had become
like family to me.
Things got worse now at home again. Each time I would make the last turn toward
my house while driving I would pray that he was in a good mood because I never
knew what to expect anymore. One day he threw a coffee mug at me in the living
room area nearly missing my head; I finally left again and stayed with my folks
this time. My friends were not all welcoming my closer walk with Yahweh God. I
felt safer at my parents and it was a blessing they took me back in. I wanted to
put another order of protection on him (as he was now threatening my life too)
but his best friend talked me out of it because it would ruin his new career, so
he said. If I had not just learned that a class mate just got killed by her
estranged husband (who was a cop) with whom she had an order of protection on I
would have.
One day shortly thereafter I got injured on the job. I was in so much pain and
discomfort I did not know what hurt worse. My face hurt along with my neck and
back. I could not walk or stand straight and had to hold onto things and walls
just to balance. I was a mess and I would just cry out to Yahweh God. The
doctors were afraid to touch me. Slowly I improved still but was not standing
straight for some time. When I tried to go back to work some 6 weeks later my
condition only got worse. I was flat on my back again and no I do not wish the
pain on anyone! Ok Yahweh you have my attention now. Praise Your Holy Name!!
Thankfully I was staying at my parents as they helped to care for me and take me
to my appointments.
I was now learning about so much in my one on ones with Yah to pray and praise
despite the pain. It really humbled me. I then learned about Yah's feast days
and I finally attended my very first one of Passover in 2005. Mark and I were
talking and getting along a little better. It was also about this time that we
just decided that we now were able to move south, since he got laid off and they
would not let me back (so it was like now or never). He had time to pack things
up for us as I could not do much of anything. I was still in great pain.
A couple months later we closed on our home and had found another home on
several acres. We rented a truck and left. We thought that the fresh start would
help us in the marriage. It did not. Though the place was lovely and the people
very friendly the one person I had to live with treated me even worse. Just when
I thought things could not get any worse because of serious back pain, because
of loosing all of what was left of my support network of family and friends, and
because of my getting closer to Yahweh and living solely for Him (or trying to)
something happened where things did get worse, in fact I was finally about to
hit rock bottom.
The week Hurricane Katrina was getting ready to hit LA and TX , I prayed one
morning while in the shower. I was feeling convicted of shaving (I was learning
about the Nazarite vow in the bible) so I asked Yahweh to show me that I know
that it without a doubt if you don’t want me to shave. Well I was also asking
about going to Christian Sunday church. I really believed the latter to be what
Yah did not want me to do. Well that day I was praying this was the mid week
service. That night we were all dressed up and ready to go the service and I was
feeling very reluctant to go (like I had the past months). I noticed our prized
dog was wrapped around the tree with his wire (as he was on a line). I gently
walked around the tree so he would not jump up on me. Hubby was cooling off the
vehicle (it was like 100 degrees). The dog got free and I did not get out of the
way in time cause as he heard the truck start he thought he was going for a car
ride. The dog raced toward the driveway and I could not jump over his line fast
or high enough with my injury and I recall being flipped onto my bottom and
lying there flat looking up. I prayed 'Dear Yahweh, please not my back!!' I was
in such pain.
My husband is looking at me like 'are you coming or what?' I said something like
'no- you go ahead' (thinking I could crawl to the house and up the stairs).
After about 10 minutes of his fuming that I was not going with him he managed to
help me get in the house. I could not walk without excruciating pain. Anyhow he
managed to get me in the truck and take me to the hospital. I had torn every
single extended muscle in the lower and upper leg areas and sprained the knee on
top of it. It would have been better if I just broke it they said. One week
later was my 39th birthday and Yah gave me Psalm 139. To realize all these
awesome things I was amazed. That night I reluctantly hobbled into the church
with him for the very last time. People were very upset because of the
devastation of the hurricane and I was feeling rather horrible and confused
having been through my own storms which they had no idea. When hubby was working
I would just cry out to Yahweh like never before. I had never been in so much
pain in every area of my life. Being fearful of him on top of it all and not
knowing what to expect. Living in a desolate area with no family around me and
now not being able to get away from the abuse or run if I had to, but solely
rely on Yah, just what I needed to learn how to do.
I now was studying, praying, crying out more to Yah like never before. I could
not do any of these things when the husband was home now. If I would try to pray
by my bed if he was there husband would have a fit and make as much noise and
continually harass me to get me to stop. In the middle of the night if he heard
me praying or if I was finally asleep soundly he would wake me enough to scare
me, and pull all the blankets on the floor. One day I was reading the Word, his
personal study bible, and he was so jealous that he threw it in the garbage. I
can go on but you get the picture. Yet I had peace now deep inside. I was
growing more in Yah and I knew He was with me. It was also this time I think I
pieced together the fact that the very first time I shaved my legs at age 12 or
13 I had also broken my leg. So even today I am questioning about shaving. (I am
surely a student that is correctable and want to know all Yah's truths). The
feast of Trumpets was now coming up, my first one ever, and I was praying hard I
could go see my new friends (and my dad) and celebrate it. I could not get
permission from husband so I went anyhow and wow! I met some new believers who
were learning the name truths and many other truths of Yah. Some of these people
are dear friends to this day and I thank Yahweh for them (they have helped me so
much). At this particular feast we prayed on behalf of the world and asked Yah
for forgiveness on certain issues that plague America and it was very intense.
My new friend, whom we shared very similar names and age (no more coincidences!)
and I repented on the sins of Eve and many very important sins that have seemed
to be caused by American women, as Yah was putting upon our hearts. I was
repenting for voting, for example and I did quietly pray against the evils of
homosexuality as much as I wanted to confess it openly to everyone but I could
not at that time (the enemy still had a foothold on this sore subject with me,
when was I going to be totally free?) I went in there thinking I was all cried
out. The tears of repentance were flowing not to mention I was now off crutches
but in great pain still with my knee and back. But I was starting to hear more
from Yahweh now and it is awesome! Dreams He would give and reading His Word was
like becoming such life to me. I could not get enough.
I did go home after this but not for long. The wrath had accelerated once again.
One day husband went to work and I drug what I could to the back door, backed up
my vehicle and left for the third major time in our marriage. I was really
starting to see our marriage was not meant to be. It broke my heart to leave the
new home and all that was worked for so long and hard. Yet none of that can make
one happy. I could not even breathe around my husband without a fight despite
how I tried so hard to love him and show the love of Yah.
I stayed at my sister’s for several weeks and then met my dad and friends at yet
another feast gathering. Gosh we were so blessed and now I never want to miss
any of Yah's feast days. I drove back to my folks from there and a friend drove
my vehicle, as I was still healing. Honestly at that time I did not even know
where I was going to go. I just know I wanted to do whatever Yah had wanted me
to. If He would have said go to back to husband or to go to China, as a
missionary, I would have. My life as I knew it was over. I was totally sold out
to Yah! I gave Yahweh everything I had and was.
After a few months of staying at my folks numerous calls and threats were still
evident along with the harassment from the estranged husband. The whole family
was on edge, not just me. When more threats on my life and my families’ lives
was occurring I knew this is really getting out of hand. One day we would talk
normally and lovingly with repentance and forgiveness and then it would
completely turn to evil all over again. This went on for months. One day I
called our house. A woman answered. I asked if husband was home and she said
'no, may I tell him whose calling?' I said 'no' and hung up. I immediately
thought gee's this woman is in my house probably sleeping in my bed and Yah then
stopped me. He said "whose house is she in?" whose phone is she on?' reminding
me that nothing was mine anymore as I did give it up to Him. Then I did recall I
was praying for husband fervently and that Yah would send some friends to help
him. A few months later I had just awoken and was getting water or something
looking out the kitchen window (while at my folks) and I was considering going
back home. I was homesick and missing my animals and things, my life. And Yah
spoke again: "IT IS NOT UP TO YOU". I was awed to say the least. I was really
trying to seek Him and wanted to please Him now totally first and foremost but I
was so confused and fearful.
I was trying to exercise once in a while when in not such great pain (as I was
starting to gain weight- always had physical jobs). I would pray and play praise
music to get my mind off the pain. One day I was in physical therapy and in pain
and I so much wanted to get better. A song came on the radio there and it was a
revised song of The Goodbye Girl, I could not hold back the tears even in public
places (My heart ached so badly). Yah would show that He was still with me
though. It was about this time that I found almightywind.com and to read these
prophecies and Words from Yah's mouth through His handmaiden, I was awed that
even the birds would wake me in the morning now (still do) everything looks so
much lovelier with the sunsets and rainbows. Yah would and still does give me
love songs in the night or is it IMMAYAH (Yah's Rauch Ha Kodesh) in me singing
praises. It is still Awesome! One day I thought for sure Yah wanted me to go
back to him. I thought I got confirmation. I started packing for home for what
would be the very last time. Husband said he wanted me back and said he was
getting closer to God and wanted to know the true Names and learn what I had
been learning and so on. It was arranged that when I arrived some new mutual
friends would be there too (JIC).
I had great peace going back and Yah was with me. I prayed and praised all the
way home. I seen a small cloud that reminded me of the palm of a hand like
Elijah's co-worker had seen before the great rains. I had Yah and I know I was
doing my best to please Him first and foremost. I get there and friends pull in
almost same time, Yah's perfect timing I thought. Roses and nice card on my
dresser were stunning, a nice little welcome home. But husband has drinking
party that night with his barbeque and I ended up putting him to bed before he
makes a total fool of us. I was upset about this and it was a hint of what the
next 5 months would entail. I had never experienced a tornado before but I
dreamed of one. In the dream I was in a glass house and the lady of the house
and everyone at this party went to get into the basement. We could not get in as
the door was blocked or locked and so we huddled at the bottom of the basement
stairs for some cover. I heard this awful loud noise of the tornado and see it
coming around the house towards us. This large man that seemed to have a
developmental disability was standing in the gap to like protect me and shield
me. It was incredible.
It was rather obvious I was tricked to come back home and the harassment was
worse. Now he was also mad on top of it all that I left him for that long of a
time and left him to tend to all the animals alone. When husband went to work it
was OUR time together again and it was good! But when he got home still all hell
would break loose. I could not mention the Names of Yahweh or Yahushua without
hearing blasphemy's it was so bad. I would go out to see the animals and just
hold a pup and cry. These were my babies and Yah would have them lick my tears
to just try to comfort me. Don't get me wrong I had great peace and I knew I was
protected yet I was not suicidal. When the threats got bad again against my life
I knew it was time to start getting my things together. I called the domestic
violence hotline and got some suggestions from them and was memorizing the
sheriffs number it was that bad.
One moment he would be nice as pie, next minute yelling and screaming. I was
fearful to go boating or swimming with him now as he promised to drown me first
chance he had. That is just one example of the many. Almost everyday he was
asking me to leave, too. He would say stupid things like "let me help you pack,
we can load your van tonight". The rejection was awful and for no reason not to
mention the names I was called and the insults of stupid things. I really tried
to take it and not fight or argue with him as it would make things worse. One
day he was feeling in a decent mood and came up to me and was saying "just look
at all we can have if you just go back to church with me and come back to Jesus
and forget about all this stuff you have learned that has been ruining this
marriage. We can have the world by the tail and all its riches", he said. I
clearly pictured Yahshua on the high mountain and the devil tempting Him. I was
not compromising any longer.
One of the last weekends there we had a major fight or shall I say he was upset
while driving one day that I would not go to church with him any more. I would
gently tell him that Sunday is not the Sabbath day and Yahweh wants a
relationship not a church religion. He slammed on the brakes so hard I thought I
was going to break my already damaged neck. Thankfully no one was behind us. He
grabbed the sunglasses off my face so hard and fast he scratched me I thought
for sure he was going to punch me and put me in the woods like he had said
several times (as no one would find me) as the woods were so thick in the
desolate area where we lived. I jumped out of the truck and started walking back
the way we came. I was so emotional and done. I was headed toward the Sheriff
that was about 4 miles away (though I could not tell him that), I was afraid he
would try to run me over. I thank You, Yahweh that a friend of his from the
church lived on that road in one of the houses I was walking by cause now he was
panicking and begging me to get back into the truck all repenting and sorrowful
(he was such a good actor). After about what seemed like an hour of torture and
promises, as I am in pain physically and mentally. I get back in the truck and
immediately he is back to his evil self and drives to the house like a maniac. I
could not believe I kept falling for his lies.
The next week he went back to work yet again and I was pulling tubs of clothes
out the back door. A good friend of his comes by to pick up something and sees
all the stuff on the deck and inquires. I prayed and I noticed the large
goodwill bags that I had reused for shoes/boots and clothes. I immediately said
“oh it's for Goodwill”. And he offers to load up the van for me and then he
left. Thank You, Yah, you awe me! I went back in the house and I cried out to
Yahweh as I was feeling very frightful once again recalling what happened that
first time I tried to leave. Anyhow I got on my knees and was yelling at the
enemy and begging Yahweh asking why this has to be again and I just knew that I
knew this was the last time I would ever be here again. If I left it was
permanent. I called my dad and asked him to pray for me and I left.
I was quite frightened for the first few hundred miles but I made it to a
friend's home first and stayed there for a few weeks. I was in hiding and
resting my sore body with the stress and physical pain and I thank Yah for these
new friends whom introduced me to Yah's Feast days and Sabbath rest. Crying,
praising, and praying on every drive is priceless and such a cleansing. I made
it back to my family and they are glad to see me. They were so fearful for me it
was horrible what I put them through.
Such peace though being free from the wrath as I now changed my cell phone
number and he did not know where I was, usually. I would still go through the
emotions and cleansing and have good days and very bad days with my ailments
though seeking Yah on what to do. I know most people meant well thinking I
should either stay with him for better or worse and others knew without a doubt
I tried above and beyond, and I did. Yet I wanted Yah's exact will, no matter
what. One groggy morning I was getting coffee and reaching for the milk thinking
of my sad story and inquiring to Yah: "why me?" or "this just does not seem
fair!" Yah immediately interrupted my pity party and said "DON'T TELL ME WHAT IS
NOT FAIR! I SENT MY ONLY BEGOTTEN AND SPOTLESS SON TO A SINFUL WORLD TO BE
TORTURED AND TO DIE FOR THEIR SINS, SO DON'T TELL ME WHAT IS NOT FAIR!" It was
very similar to that and I was going to try to never again say something like
that or question Yahweh anymore. I know things could have been a lot worse; I
praise Yah they were not. I did not write a lot of other things that did occur
but you have an idea of what an unequally yoked marriage can do and the hold it
has. I know Yah allowed everything to happen to me for His good reasons, though
I may not understand it all yet, He has a plan (Jer. 29:11) and it is for hope
and a future! Hallelu-Yah!
Well I applied to a lawyer for a divorce then I rescinded it as I was still
seeking Yah's perfect will. I was a mess. Yet I was free to study and serve and
love and help others! I was finally finding me as I was finding Yah and now
taking hold and cleaving to Him and I was not letting go. I learned about
IMMAYAH too and that was amazing, how she is the helper, the Holy Spirit, and
much more. I also had contacted a couple ministries for prayer and more
direction. This ministry did help me in my correct decision and teaching me how
unequally yoked we were. I praise Yah for that! Finally had a date set for the
divorce and I was very worried and concerned for me and my family's safety.
Though husband could only email he was still both hot and cold and then he got a
girlfriend. I was glad.
One month before the divorce it was not only 42 years to the day I was
conceived, but it was the anniversary of the day I fell into sin as a teen. I
felt like I was going to die-again because this same night my estranged husband
(not too happy about divorce court coming up or because I would not talk to him
on the phone) emails all my family and friends horrible things about me.
Whatever the reasons, Yah allowed it to happen and I did not see this situation
in its entirety at first. If that was not bad enough husband also told them I
was in a cult (because of my wanting to get closer to Yahweh God and learn His
true ways). My learning and believing the truths about traditional holidays
being pagan, and to follow Yahweh's true holy days and commandments is what I
was trying to do- to Honor and Please HIM. There is a verse in the bible, via
Yah's servant Job: though He slay me, yet shall I live. I know Yah has been
pruning me and molding me to be who He wants me to be. No matter how bad it
hurts, no matter how many friends I get and lose, no matter how my family looks
down at me, I will serve HIM. The gates of Hell will not prevail! Yet the enemy
will still try to get me down! Why? Because Yahweh has plans for me and they are
for good!
I went to my sister's home and we attempted to drive south for the divorce
court. It was winter and we left in a snow storm then as we got more south the
weather turned into rain, then hard rain and thunderstorms (with wicked
lightning) and then we noticed the wind kicking up. We thought we seen a few
scary looking clouds and decided to turn on the radio. We were in the middle of
several tornados and we were being advised to seek shelter immediately in
certain counties. We had no idea what county we were in as we in areas we never
been. I kept praying we could make it to our hotel. We pushed through the
driving rain and darkness where sometimes we could not even see the road, and
yet Yah got us to our hotel. We did not have a chance to stop to eat so we were
also so stressed, tired, and now my sister felt like she was coming down with
something. We got to the hotel and some large white geese welcomed us as a pond
was nearby (or they wanted us to bring them into the hotel as they were
following us in). It was hilarious despite the circumstances and it was like Yah
winking at us.
I had to get on the hotel computer to download papers from the lawyer and my sis
ran out to the pharmacy for cold medicine. The wind was whipping so hard I was
glad the power was on but I was getting more nervous when other guests at the
hotel were inquiring where the storm shelter was. We just heard that a nearby
mall had been hit by a tornado and a couple people perished. I got off line and
went to the room to pray. I tried to call a friend in which to pray, to no
avail. I called Yahweh, He is always available and I voiced my tearful concerns
for our lives. I never been in a tornado before yet He was with us, Hallelu-Yah!
I got more specific in my prayer since I learned there was no storm shelter
there other than the bathroom or the kitchen freezer. Yikes! I prayed and
believed (and even pictured in my mind) that Yah would pull that tornado right
up out of the area. I prayed against the destruction of it and against any
demons behind the work and that the enemy would leave me alone, in Yahshua's
Name!
I immediately then called my sis as I was really getting nervous yet was keeping
my trust in Yah for His protection. She answered and said the stores were
closing cause of the tornado and she finally found a place that was just getting
ready to close and she got some snacks for us and medicine. The wind was so
strong she could not even close or open the car door without a struggle. I was
fervently praying for her now. She made it back safely, and Yah protected us.
Reminds me of the dream I had a year or so prior about the large man who was
sheltering me. Neither the glass house in the dream nor the glass hotel was
damaged. Hallelu-Yah! When I noticed the little card on the hotel dresser from
the cleaning crew with the fellows name being Elisha I about cried knowing Yah
was giving me confirmation that He was with me.
We went the next morning, which was a beautiful and very warm day, to the lawyer
first and then to court. I had seen the estranged husband (and who was to be his
new wife two days later) after seeking the sheriff escort. The lawyers and judge
agreed right away he got the best deal as I mostly wanted out of this horrible
marriage. No amount of things or money could give me the love and freedom I had
in Yah. They never made me happy nor could they save me. Things only held me
back from Yah as I had to keep working to pay for them and I felt like I lost my
health, strength, and what should have been a family (with children and other
things). But Yah had other plans.
When I was starting to put this testimony down, first in my head I would get
upset just thinking of all I had been through as I am really trying to put the
painful past behind me. Yet I had to face my fears and do this even if it helps
just one person. One of these mornings that I really wanting to get this
testimony done (all for Yah’s honor and glory, solely), Yah spoke to me about
the pain of the rejection I had felt for all these years now. He told me as I
was lying on my bed: "he was not rejecting you, he was rejecting ME.”
Oh Yahweh I praise You and thank You for helping me! You surely are the lover of
my soul, I will never let You go! You have taken me from the miry place and set
my feet upon Your Rock as You are my Savior and my closest friend! I love You
and need You! Praise Your Holy and Wonderful Name! You are an Awesome Elohim and
I thank You, Yah, for my life, for my deliverance, for my testimony! Please
complete the work you started in me in Yahushua’s Mighty and Incredible Name,
Hallelu-Yah!
Sincerely,
His Humble Bee

Sister K’s Prayer for Deliverance from Homosexuality
Praise You, Yahweh God, for rescuing and saving me. What I did as a teenager was
a horrible thing (and an abomination). I praise You, Yahweh for helping me out
of the pit! Thank You Yah for delivering me out of the enemy’s grasp of a
relationship with (who was supposed to be) my best friend. I later learned how
she was a victim of sexual abuse. I was now out of Yah's complete will as the
enemy finally had me where he wanted me.
I believed the enemy's lie hook, line, and sinker. And no, I could not easily go
back into YOUR arms like I wanted to. The enemy had me and did everything to try
to keep me- to believe his ugly lies (which of course, looked harmless then,
experimentation and all- NOT!!!) I was blinded and on my own and never felt so
disconnected and stuck in the mire. It was horrible. Yet You were still keeping
Your eye on me, Abba Father (thank YOU). Cause You had a plan for me and my life
(plans for good and a hope and a future- Jer. 29:11 in the bible).
It is so hard to even write this cause of the pain I endured and how I could
have died (and landed in hell) in my sins cut off from You, Yahweh. Not only
that but the fact that I hurt You and Your feelings and pained Your heart by
quenching Your precious Holy Spirit, I am so sorry! I felt I had to lie and did
to close family and friends to keep in my horrible sin and that only made this
worse. Oh how the enemy wants us to get deeper in the mire and more away from
Yahweh our Great Creator who see’s and knows all! We cannot run nor hide.
Oh how I wanted to die than tell the truth. This is another lie I believed from
the enemy. How much easier it really is to lie than face the truth. I though
about jumping off a bridge. The pain was so horrible. Praise You, Yahweh, for
being there so I would not do such a horrendous thing.
Oh Yahweh, I am so sorry if I mocked You. I know I tried to go to church with
this person and tried to read your Word so to ease my consciousness. I was a
professing Christian. I know that was not right, thank You for forgiving me. I
never took drugs, smoked a cigarette, and was saving myself for my future mate.
Maybe the enemy knew I was trying to please Yahweh and to wait for my husband
and maybe he knew or heard me say how homosexuality was so wrong. But I messed
up and the enemy got a foothold on me but I repented and got free and you can
to, Hallelu-Yah!
Repent and Pray this prayer with me if you are living in an addictive type of
sin and need deliverance:
"Oh Father Yahweh, You are mighty and awesome and powerful- You have seen me and
all I have done and it is horrendous in Your eyes. I believed the lies of the
enemy and I am so sorry! Forgive for all my sins and for mocking You and all I
have done to push you away from me. I am sorry I grieved Your Holy Spirit in me.
Yet you have not allowed satan or his sick angels to kill me or to entice me
enough to kill myself. You have spared my life so I can be redeemed and free.
You are the Elohim (God) of second chances and I thank You for this. I plead the
sacred blood of Yahushua ha Mashiach (used to believe it was Jesus Christ till I
learned the real name of the Messiah) on my mind, body, and soul. I ask you Yah
to please send Your holy angels to help and protect me as I climb out of the pit
and renounce this former life. Help me to live solely for You, Yahweh. Create in
me a pure heart that is pleasing in Your eyes, Abba Father. Let my body now be
your body as I give it solely to You in which to better serve You. Help me to
take care of myself better and treat this body you have given me as Your living
tabernacle as Your precious Holy Spirit now lives in me. Help me, Abba Father to
turn my life and will completely over to You. Thank You Father for sending Your
precious Son to die for me and I praise You, Yahushua, for dying for my sins. I
ask this in Yahushua ha Mashiach's precious Name and I praise You and thank You
in advance for setting me free. Amen and Hallelu-Yah!" (feel free to add
anything else you may need to be forgiven for as His Holy Spirit (momma Wisdom)
leads you, beloved, and feel free to cry as it shows your true repentance and
helps to cleanse you).
If you just prayed this prayer and accepted Yahushua as your Savior,
Congratulations!
You are doing good and I promise things will get better (if you believe) and are
serious about getting out of this sinful lifestyle that is not pleasing to
Yahweh God. Yahweh would have to repent to Sodom and Gomorrah if He didn't do
something soon to the reprobates in the world. So glad you are now on the right
path! It may be narrow and feel lonely sometimes, but it will be worth it all!
Yah will be right by your side, beloved!
In the Bible, Luke chapter 4, Yahushua said that He came to set the captives
free! You are now free if you prayed that prayer with true repentance and
believe it with all your heart. Also see Isaiah 61. If you are just reading this
and if you did not pray that yet or did not do it as heartfelt as you feel you
should (and very repentantly- as this is very serious) then please pray now as
the enemy has no love for you, nor can he help or save you, but is here to rob,
kill and destroy all that you are and have. The enemy wants you to stay in the
pit of despair. Only our Heavenly Father cares enough to send His only begotten
Son to save you. This could possibly be your last chance as time is so short and
the enemy knows this. The devil is going down and he wants to take as many with
him as possible. Do not give into his lies and deception. So please go to a
quiet place and get on your knees and repent and know that Yahweh God loves you
that much that He sent His only Son, Yahushua, to this world to die for you and
He would have it done it even if it was just for you alone. Again, the choice is
yours, beloved. Choose life (victory in the Messiah) or choose death (victim). I
pray you choose life! Hell is very real and it was originally made for the devil
and his angels. You do not want to go there, hasn't life has been hell enough
being in the pit of destruction and despair, and being separated from the love
of Your heavenly Father? Do you want to continue to be controlled by satan and
be his little puppet or do you want to accept Yahushua as Savior and King in
which to rule and reign in your life now and live the victorious life you were
created to? The choice is simple, beloved.
Do not believe the lie that you don't deserve to be saved and set free cause you
do. Do not believe any lie's from the enemy anymore especially the lie that you
were born homosexual or that you have a choice~ NOT!!! Like the Prodigal son in
the bible (Luke 15:11) you too can come back to the Father and live with and for
Him. He will throw you the biggest party you could ever imagine! He will surely
take you back as He is waiting for with open arms and true love and peace and
joy unspeakable! Renounce your former lifestyle and cling to Him!! Believe me it
will be worth it all! (Yahweh allows everything to happen in your life for His
reasons- you will see!) Yahweh will forgive you and He will forget (and blot out
your sins), believe me! A couple years ago when I went to pray as I was feeling
terrible (as the devil was throwing my old sin in my face) I asked for
forgiveness yet again. Yahweh spoke to me and said "What are you bringing that
up for? I had forgiven you and forgotten all about it!" (22 years ago) Hallelu-Yah!
When the enemy later reminds you of your past you just remind him of his future~
doomed to Hell!!!
A few helpful tips:
You are now a child of the Most High, the King's Heir! Hence we must act like
one, be set apart for Him by living a holy and righteous life pleasing to Yah.
You can do this! Sometimes you may feel like your heart is going to break or
that you cannot handle this, but that is another lie of the enemy. I know
because I listened to it time and time again till I realized what was really
happening. When any illicit or negative thoughts come your way you have the
power now to rebuke them in Yahushua's Name! We can do all things through
Yahushua who strengthens you! (Romans 8). Also you cast your burdens and cares
and worries on Him as His yoke is easy and His burden is light. He is there and
will help you through this. Read Psalm 118 especially verses 4-8 and 13-24. When
you are feeling emotional read the psalms and pray/cry out to Yahweh God as He
is close to those whose hearts are breaking. (Psalm 32 explains about King
David's sin with a married woman, with whom he even had her husband killed to
cover the sin, she even had his baby so don't think you are one of the few who
fell to sexual sin. David wrote: "When I kept silent, my bones grew old through
my groaning all the day long. For day and night Your hand was heavy on me (vs
3-4) I acknowledged my sin (perversity) to YOU and You forgave the iniquity of
my sin (v 5) and confessed of my transgressions (rebellions)". Yes sin does
bring fear and it should. But confession and repentance brings such freedom in
Yahweh! When you seek wisdom ask Momma IMMAYAH (the Holy Spirit in you) for
guidance. Also read the Proverbs in the Word.
Beloved, because you are so precious in Yah's sight and because we care for you,
try to read Yah's Word everyday. If you don't have a Bible try to get one at a
store or ask for one from a family member or just read one at the library. They
are also free online bibles such as www.blueletterbible.com (that can also be
found at a library with internet access.) Try to read the Word as well as pray
and praise Yahweh daily. Talk to Yahweh God like you would your best friend but
make sure you are respectful. It truly is an honor to be able to go to Him in
Yahushua ha Mashaich's Name! Try to get into fellowship with other believers
whether online or in person. Be around family that love and support your new
freed lifestyle. Stay away from old friends that were trouble and led sinful
lives. Stay away from places and things where you would sin or that could lead
into sin. Like any addiction you need to stay away from satan's devises that
would lure you into trouble. Stay away from pornography especially! Avoid it at
all costs! You have a new fresh start now, do it right! Ask Yahweh God to take
care of lusts that may be lurking as satan is wanting you to yield to them.
Yahweh will help you if you believe He can and if you ask Him to. There are no
more compromises (write that down so you can see it daily). I did not think I
could be lured into this sin but I sure was when my guard was down.
Also do not be afraid to tell your parents or another very trusted family member
or friend that you are now free. If you lied to others about your sin then
confess and confide in them so they can help you even more (if it is safe to do
so). If you were a bold person who was 'out of the closet' then, praise Yah, you
have what it takes to tell people how proud you are to have cleaned your closet
and choose life and life more abundantly!
Very importantly, Thank Yahweh, your Heavenly Father, every single day for your
deliverance and for His giving you another chance! Write out Yahweh's
commandments in Exodus 20 and then write out Deuteronomy 28 (blessings and
curses) from the bible. (Note: even though homosexuality is not listed in the 10
commandments does not mean it is not a sin. It is and no one is to live that
way!) Focus on today not yesterday. Get your eyes off the past and strive to
live a holy life now and keep your eyes on Yahushua! He will not let you fall if
you keep doing the right thing and stay close to Him! Put Him first in your
heart and life and He will take care of the rest! For example He will give you
new, real, healthy friends, not fake friends.
Feel free to contact this ministry and tell them of your decision and if you
need us to pray for you do let us know. If you are in a dangerous situation of
an abusive relationship or situation do also let us know so can specifically
pray for your protection in Yahushua ha Mashiach's Name. Try to memorize Psalm
91. That will help, also. Yahweh God promises to protect you if you are living
for Him (not in sin). Believe that 'Greater is He who is in me, than he that is
in the world' and don't be afraid of what mere man can do - which is to only
kill the body but Yahweh can also kill the body and soul. Believe me I would
rather die free from sin (living a life pleasing to Yah) than be living with
satan's hold on me and go to hell.
Next get into new and better routines that are positive. A great example may be
taking better care of your body by working out or walking (in clean air and
sunshine) a few times a week to relieve stress and clear your head. Eating
better and avoiding drugs and alcohol are pleasing to Yahweh also. Don't rush
into another relationship either, even if it with the opposite sex. Get to know
Yahweh and His beloved Son, Yahushua, better. When you do this and seek His face
and try to listen to His voice, you will find yourself, too. Believe me, I know
and He will better direct your path. I failed to do this and got in a bad
marriage (the enemy tricked me to believe, at times, that I deserved to be
treated horribly because of my past sin). Don't make the same mistake I made,
beloved.
Lastly, and importantly, try to find a good Sabbath teaching church that honors
all of Yah's commandments (not a Sunday Sabbath keeping church). I had
fellowship with a family member, praise Yah, but also spent many days alone with
Yahweh and His Word. Also read the prophecies here on this almightywind.com
website. You can hear from Yahweh God 24/7 through His beloved prophet,
Elisabeth, (and other guest prophets) as you read what HE said. You can also
click on audio's to listen to. You are not alone, beloved! Try eagerly to hear
(and obey) Yah as He directs your life now cause He so much wants a relationship
with you. This is not about a religion but a relationship. Like a Father - son
or daughter relationship and He is sending His precious Son again to get His
bride. Do you want to be left behind? I sure don't! In fact, beloved of Yah,
don't be like Lot's wife and look back and desire what Yahweh delivered you from
(or what you thought was a good life). She turned into a pillar of salt on the
spot (and that place is still there to this day). Don't let pride get in your
way, either, as we all need the Savior Yahushua (which means Yah saves or Yah is
salvation!) As were are obedient to Yah's Word and Laws and be a positive
example to others Yah will bless you more. Your obedience will affect the degree
of influence the spirit of Jezebel (evil) in your life. When you are successful
in this you will receive an intercessory position over Jezebel's strongholds.
Wouldn't you like to be granted an influential role in helping to free your
brothers and sisters also in Yahushua's Name?
If this problem is not yours but of a loved one or friend please pass this on to
him or her. And please do not do it in a way that is harmful. We are to love the
sinner and hate the sin. This person needs to know that he or she can talk or
confide in and trust you in the love and admiration of Yahweh God in you. You
can make a positive difference in this loved ones life! Thanks in advance,
beloved.
As we look forward to hearing from you,
Sincerely,
A joyful and happily set free sister in the USA
1 John 4:4, 5:4: Victory is already ours in Yahushua the Messiah-
right in the midst of our trials. Those who have the power to destroy the body
DO NOT have the power to destroy your soul because Yahushua loves me (Job
6:1-12) (as we Hold onto His Love and Trust HIM every single day and sometimes
moment by moment). Deuteronomy 31:8 says that Yahweh Himself goes before me and
will be with me, He will Never leave me nor forsake me. Hallelu-Yah! Philippians
4:13 I can do all things through Yahshua who strengthens me!
