Hello,

My name is Walt and I live in Northern NM.
I'm a former practicing pagan who became a christian in 1999 @ the age of 38 thru reading The Scriptures alone in my truck while an over-the-road truck driver.

When I started going to churches, I saw things weren't right and was confused and questioned alot of things.

I was reading in the Psalms and kept reading about "Praising the name of The Lord"
So I asked my pastor at the time "When are we going to praise His name"
He explained to me YHWH, and where ever I read The LORD it meant YHWH.

So I asked him why we don't use His name, and he couldn't give me an answer.

This started my journey to learning the true revealed names of Elohim.

My wife Pam and I, having been pagans, quickly rejected christ(less)mas and easter and and thus became outcasts with most all christians.

Discovered Michael Rood and got some of his material back 3 years ago.

We have come to reject man-made traditions and teachings and have been wandering alone in the desert in the flesh the last 2 years.

We found Yah Space and we both joined (Walt & Pam are our user names there)

This weekend was our first time observing Shabbat and it was AWESOME.
We listened to EliYah with the online Shabbat meeting and THOROUGHLY enjoyed the teaching

We also ordered a copy of The Scriptures and Come Out of Her My People from ISR this weekend.

We feel so refreshed in The Faith after this Shabbat
Pam spent hours reading from Sighted Moon website.
I listened to EliYah's message on The Dying of Yahushua today.

We now want to find some other followers of Yah the keep His Feasts so we can learn and grow some more.

One comment EliYah made that just totally grabbed me was about rejecting the traditions of both christianity and Judaism.

I've had my fill of misleading traditions.

We are hungry for Yah's truth and want to put it into action.

Bro Walt,

Have you ever thought what this word stands for? Read on....
Do you know that a simple "hello" can be a sweet one?
The word H E L L O means:

H = How are you?
E = Everything all right?
L = Like to hear from you
L = Love to see you soon!
O = Obviously, You are my friend...
So, HELLO!

Shalom & love,
Renae

Shalom Walt and Pam,
Welcome to the family of Yah!!
Praise Yahweh for bringing you out of darkness and into His marvelous light!
I was at my daughter's house this week (she is a pagan I guess, won't talk about it) and I saw a bumper sticker she had there that said" Christianity has pagan dna". How true! How can the pagans see the truth and the christians be so blind!
Anyway, I was wondering if there is anything you might be able to share with me, from your experience, that might help to bring my daughter out of paganism?

Love in Yahushua,
Sis Beth

Shalom, Walt & Pam!

I am new to the "naked truth" about our Messiah (just a year). I moved from my hometown to another major city as a devout christian and then moved back again (today) as an enlightened torah-believer. I still have some discipline to master, but I am not quite there yet. I haven't observed Shabbat in the traditional sense yet, but I plan to start this or next week.

I wasn't a pagan, or so I thought, but my practices were steeped in paganism. The hardest thing I face is denouncing to my children, family, and friends all that I once held dear! Finding out the true orgins of "christ(less)mas", as you refer to it, totally blew my mind! I used to love christmas! I started decorating the day after thanksgiving!

I am currently trying to pull together some reference material for a lifelong friend to explain to her why I am not observing Easter. We used to make a such a big deal about it, and now she wants answers! (Lol).

I'm used to ridicule being raised as a Jehovah's Witness, but it's harder to explain because people are so misguided. They think I need an intervention, but truth of the matter, THEY need the intervention!

The thrill is in the chase...chasing after the truth...YHWH and the True Messiah, Yahushua!

Be blessed, and be encouraged,
Yahweh's Daughter (aka "Sonshine")

Shalom!
