I give YHWH hodu and all the praise, honor and glory for choosing me from the foundations of the olam and giving me deliverance from all the evils of the present olam. (Qolseyah 1:4) as the desires of the olam pass away (Yochannan Alef 2:14-15). I give hodu to El Shaddai YHWH for delivering me from the bands of death and pit of destruction (Tehillim 40:1-2). I was born and brought up in a traditional Christian family and environment but at the age of around 13 years when I was on my way to choose the wrong path because of my wrong friends YHWH by his Right hand brought thru his Set Apart Ruach Ha Kodesh right people, in right place and at right time in my life, which transformed the life of my entire family. I took water baptism on 18th April 1997 and prior to that was filled with gift (tongues) of the Ruach Ha Kodesh on 18th October, 1996 by the Holy Ones grace.
And from that point my spiritual journey began, as I started to read and learn from word of YHWH and having closer relationship with YAHUSHUA HA MOSHIAC. But back then I did not know him as Yahushua and by his true name Abba YHWH. I was taught by good pastors and teachers, which gave me the opportunity to study the Word of YHWH. Many years went by walking in ways of the Holy One but as I grew I realized that may be I was not given the whole truth about the Word of YHWH and there was something missing in my spiritual growth and Scriptures as it had been taught to me, most of the time from the Brit Chadasha and the 4 Gospels and very less from the Tenach or Torah. But I believe that the Holy One saw my thirst for truth and to know the meanings and hidden treasures in Scriptures led YHWH to reveal to me by his grace and Ruach Ha Kodesh the Jewish roots of my faith so that I would know more about my true heritage from Father Avraham. I thank him to reveal to me that Yahushua is the Alef, Mem and Taf –EMET and there is no EMET besides him (Yochannan 14:6). And he gave me wisdom to understand and read the Scriptures from the eyes of Jewish Yahusha not gentile or Greek Messiah.
Since last 2 to 3 years I have been able to learn and read the Scriptures from the eyes of Jewish Messiah and come to know that YHWH reveals the end from the beginning (Bereshiyt-Yeshayahu 46:10) and therefore we need to built our foundation on the first 5 books or Torah which are the instructions given to us by the Almighty. And now as I have come to know the whole truth and the meat of Word of YHWH my desire is to see the true revival, healing and restoration of 2 houses of YHWH. (Hosea 6:1-3).
AMEN!
