Many people wait for an explosive revelation or experience of Jesus before putting their faith in him. But it doesn't always work that way. Rebekah shares her story and challenges of coming to faith in Jesus from within a Jewish family that already believed in Jesus.
Some of the most significant revelations of Jesus happen after a person puts their faith in him.

Yeshua COMPLETELY transformed my heart and life. I am a 39 year old Israeli Jewish woman who came to faith in our Messiah Yeshua. In 2014. Jesus, Yeshua revealed Himself to me during a dark and oppressive time in my life. I didn’t know much about Him prior to 2014, but through proclaiming His name, the demons that were tormenting me at the time fled. It was a VERY supernatural experience with The Lord. I was baptized and saved in 2016. The Lord put on my heart to repent, read His word (The Bible), be baptized (water immersion) and turn from all my sins. It was a process and He has been SO gentle and loving through it all!! Thank you Abba for your goodness and for sending Your Son Yeshua to save sinners such as myself and to reconcile us back to you, I am ETERNALLY grateful for Your gift of Salvation.
JESUS is the same today, yesterday and forever.....Amen.
Jesus is a fictional character.
@@twitherspoon8954 then you are fictional too
Jesus is King!
@TWitherspoon The day you die, YOU WON'T EVEN THINK THAT KIND OF FOOLISHNESS!!!
✝️Plus, the only people who say this SAME OLE SILLY RUclips TALK is comfortable Westerners 😂😠😆
✡️Psalm 14 KJV
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Jesus said, I Am the way the truth and the life.
I was brought up Seventh day Adventist and my father was very legalistic and abusive. My mom became atheist. I married a Mormon and then went into the new age stuff. God miraculously saved me but when I was first saved I was so afraid that I had to return to SDA, and my mom thought I would become crazy like my dad (whom she had divorced by that time). The Lord showed me that His way moved forward not backward, but I struggled with legalism vs. grace for years. Thank you for this sweet testimony. ❤🙏
I'm also a SDA member and teacher. We need to ask God to teach us how to keep the Law (all the Law not only the 10 commandments).
We are not born with this.
We are born in the flesh and the flesh only wants to avoid pain and seek pleasure, like any baby or toddler. Morality comes after we learn to think and judge.
By his grace, we'll learn how to keep the law as an expression of our love toward him. It takes time and experience.
Just a word of advice I'm giving to all my friends in SDA lines: Just keep you nose over the Bible and push away (for a while) all the other books and videos. EGW is a very good help at start (specially for those who came from other churches), but if you really get into the prophecies in the Bible, you see things she never wrote about.
Try to get deeper in Ezekiel, for example. It's connected with Revelation and with Moses.
Romans 9 to 11 is also a must.
I can relate to Rebecca's testimony. I grew up in a Christian home and I gave my life to Jesus/ Yeshua at a young age. I fell into a mindset of legalism and fear. The Lord took me down a very dark path before I could get out of my crisis of faith. The Lord is faithful, loving and wonderful. He delivered me from all my fears! ❤
El Señor no nos guía por caminos oscuros!!!
Yes, we are saved ONLY by FAITH thru a free gift; GRACE from our Father in Heaven - Ephesians 2:8-9
Also read Romans 10:9-13 - If we believe with all of our inner being that Jesus was the Son of God and that God raised him on the 3rd day from the dead, and speak it, YOU WILL BE SAVED, not that you might be saved or if you do this or if you do that NON_SENSE.. It's only by faith and nothing else.. Jesus himself even stated during the law days, "if you call upon my name, you will be saved" I think around John 6:28-42, etc. or Might be John 8:32
Today we are living in the "Grace age" - Jesus nailed or did away with the Mosaic law when he died on the cross. Col. 2:14 Jesus took every point of the law (death) upon himself on our behalf and those that believes in Jesus and ASKS Jesus to save them will be covered by his blood forever.. All sins are covered forever..
The Abrahamic covenant was an everlasting covenant from God, himself, and Abraham did not have any requirements to meet. Understand the difference
@@anadorsamp3560i agree..But we ourselves want to enter a dark place and be with the devil, the destroyer
I see myself in this woman. Thank you guys for sharing this. Very encouraging. Glory to God. ❤️
love to hear a beautiful young woman who was touched by our Savior and living for Him.......blessings on you.
I loved how she spoke about Shabbat being a gift from God because it confirmed my own experience! When I first came to faith in Yeshua I was part of a sabbath keeping community and I consider it a great blessing 🙌 it helped me understand what it means to rest in Him....
Me too . I became legalistic, obedience became righteousness. So I lived always falling short until I broke... I said Lord I can't do this.. I can't please you...then He showed me the wonder of His grace... that's right my Son, you can never please me by your obedience, you please me by your faith... now obey me to show you believe me. Finally His peace came upon me and joy began to grow, because as I began to realise I am saved justified by His grace because I believe everything that Jesus said and did , and that Jesus is His only Son. Now obeying Him is my faith , a light burden and easy yoke.
She’s so sweet God bless u! Love the accent ❤ 🙏🏻
Rest in Jesus...such great words!
Because of Jesus Mercy and love i am still breathing 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤Thank you dear lord Jesus Amen Hallelujah ❤❤✝✝✝🕊🕊🕊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Jesus is coming so so soon that everyone is actually feeling Him. 🙏
Another great video brotherJeff , thanks for sharing this amazing testimonial. l praise Jesus Christ our Lord, Saviour and King ❤
I love how this lady articulates herself. Pastors kids would also find a lot of comfort in her testimony because of that heavy burden of expectation. And Amen! I’m a Samoan Kiwi, been a born again Christian for 28 years but only 7 years ago, I received the revelation that Shabbat is God’s gift to us. Not as a legalistic tick in our box, but a gift of rest to enjoy. May God continue to bless Rebekah and all who come across this video.
I had that moment in my 50s, a little late but I needed to really understand who Jesus was. He showed me through many sources not just the Bible.
hallelujah LORD JESUS CHRIST he is the only truth and the way! I love him!
Real good testimony and talk about legalism!!! Thank you LORD Jesus Christ!!
Thx for another amazing Testimony , it makes me hold on to Jesus in Hard Times
Thank God for the gospel of grace. That's what changes our heart. His love for us. Resting in him ❤
That's the amazing 👏 thing,that Jesus works in a manner that we don't even imagine 🙏.
Praise the Lord Almighty 🙌 🙏 👏 ✨️ 💛 💯.
I love it God dosent push himself on you he's so gentle thats so true. I always preach that.
True we all have the same thing when you grow up in christian home. God is not going to give thunder and ligthning because you already know the truth. He is just asking for you to put your faith and trust in himnand Surrender. If you do that your faith becomes real....
When you work, God rests. When you rest, God works. I labor to rest in the finished work of Jesus, my Savior. Amen.
Beautiful!
Jesus said, I'm the bright light of the world whoever will follow me will not walk into the darkness, but he will have the eternal life. So be it. To everyone who accepts our lord Jesus christ as a saviour and redemption. God bless you all.
HaleluYah! Praise Abba Yahweh🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you. I turned 20 this year and am going through exactly the same thing. I fear so much that I will depart from the narrow path, or that I’m not even on the narrow path. I want to rest in Jesus but know that cheap Grace (license to sin) is far from the Grace and freedom God has given. I don’t want to sin anymore and I want to hate my sin. It feels like I can never truly feel like I’m saved
I have been a Christian since age 12, but it can be a long journey to come to true faith and rest. Holy Spirit was always with me even when I didn't understand that. I am over 60 now. It takes true mindfulness of where your destination is, and finally understand I had not truly given up my Will; Jesus was patient, when I could finally let go and accept God’s Will, I was at peace. Keep reading/studying the Bible and good biblical theology. I like one for Israel for historical information and Dr. Michael Heiser, as well as Ligonier studies. There are others , and I pray that am not led astray by false teachers.
I really found this really interesting and relatable. It sounds like she AND YOU, Rp, may have been going through what people call religious OCD/scrupulosity with the legalism and doubts. It is from the enemy. It's so beautiful how she was given victory over it ruling too much over her, and why she says she still feels like its there in the background. The thing to realize, dear Rebekah AND RP, is that what remains of it is actually just a temptation to rely on yourself/feelings again instead of "resting on the finished work of Christ" like Jeff said. It's a sin you are weak towards, not a benign healthy state to accept about yourself. If you can really grasp this, it will really make you more peaceful and more useful to God, because you spend less time looking inside and more time on looking at Christ and others in need. Much love, Rachel

@@ThisIsGonnaBeaLongStory i needed to hear exactly this, thank you so much.
@Rp-wt7uz
Jesus said in John 3:5 :
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
We need to make the decision to fully Surrender to Jesus no matter the cost. We need to Repent and be baptized in water.
Baptism is not an “ Outward symbol of an inward faith” , it is part of Salvation, where we burry sin and crucify the Old man. We then put on Christ.
Look what Peter says in
Acts 2:37-38
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
We can live in freedom from sin. Jesus said whom the Son sets Free is free indeed.
Jesus bless you
I'm a Gentile Believer and I am having a hard time right now. I've been a Christian over 56 years. To hear Rebekah's and some of Jeff's struggles encouraged me. I am also very hard on myself. Thank You Jesus that you love me.
I am so happy you guys started this channel. May it be a blessing for the Jeswish people and beyond!
All glory to Jesus❤
Praise LORD JESUS forevermore ❤️🙏

What a blessed conversation and such a lovey woman! I so appreciated her wisdom and honesty, it was truly a blessing 🤗 thankyou both 🙏
I am an African American woman who never understood what being Jewish meant and so I clicked on this channel. I am so glad I did.
Jesus is king! Please pray for me and my children. I’m so discouraged. I receive so much hate simply for asking for prayers. Prayers are ALL I NEED. I’m a single mother and I’m struggling to provide for my sons both are autistic and I’m overwhelmed! I lost my job because I declined the vaccine. I declined due to my heart condition I had a massive heart attack and I suffer from lupus. I am waitressing now but not making nearly enough to get by. Every month is a battle. I can’t go back to my job at the hospital because mandates are still in place. Jesus help me to overcome my fears. Because as I struggle I am fearful. Struggling to provide for me and my children is scary Struggling to buy groceries. Struggling to pay rent. BUT I trust you Lord. Jesus hear my prayers. I’m so thankful that God has provided this far. Jesus has never left my side. Praise Jesus. Even though I’m discouraged I will keep faith! 0:13
Just prayed
Scam...she copy and paste this comment now for years on all the christian videos...
S C A M...!!!!
Jesus said be of good cheer for I have overcome the world stay in God's word stay in prayer and worship and always remember all things are possible to those who believe
Praying for you. It sounds so hard. But you’re right… Jesus is by your side!
I too declined. Praying for you!
Bless you guys ❤ very beautiful! Yes He is very gentle and humble with His children! That’s a revelation the least the humble in the Kingdom is the greatest ❤
Hebrews 4! Read it carefully. It’s so deep, but speaks exactly to your conversation about resting in Him vs. legalism.
Thank you for this video. It was a blessing to me.
I was doubting my salvation early after I was saved, and a dear old saint told me that he too had doubts after he was saved, and he told the devil that he had put his faith and trust in Jesus, and if Jesus didn't take him to Heaven, then he would burst Hell wide open! That really works for me.
Thank you ,I really need it to hear that,Blessings to you all
God loves us and wants to stay in constant contact.
Rebekah's honesty is really refreshing. It was a blessing watching her not sugar coating her relationship with the Lord.
Shalom friends in Israel ! from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! 🇧🇷💚💛💙🇮🇱
Hallelujah Amen! Yeshua is my Messiah and Savior! 🙌🇧🇷
God is so wonderful and wise that he deals with each one as he knows them perfectly and it is different for each one for example Paul's experience was not gentle
I was dying in the hospital last year and at the moment I turned to God to protect my wife if I could not be healed through His grace. That same night, I met God. I felt this warm embrace and thought that came to mind that everything was going to be ok. Even though I am still healing, I am in a better place then I have ever been.
What a great video brother Jeff. Learnt a lot from you guys. I had become very legalistic and proud for a long while especially when I gave up a lot of bad habits but then I thought I was better than all my friends because of my self discipline and it showed in my life but then Yeshua had to remind me of the reality of things and I once again rested in His love and shared His love with others
As a former Roman Catholic, I had a lot of problems with what you might call "legalism"' - always worried that I was "not good enough". Tried to follow the "rules and regulations" of my religion and always fell short. So I know what Rebekah was talking about. I read a wonderful book called "The Shack" by William Paul Young about once a year, and am a fan of the series, "The Chosen". I've been reading the Bible with a new understanding. Now I finally get it. We cannot get to Heaven on our own merits. We will always fall short, but Yeshua's sacrifice and love for us has redeemed us. Yes, he's truly the Messiah! I've come to realize how infinitely loving God is.
Excellent
Jesus doesnt let us go. Praise him!!!
I so appreciate and look forward to your videos. I'm a retired mental health worker who works part-time for Mission to Amish People. My Dad was Amish and in many ways, Amish people parallel Jewish people in their belief that their piety and way of life will get them to heaven.
God bless your work for the Amish, brother. May your reward in heaven be great.
This came really on time for me. I grew up in a Messianic household. Hearing all these amazing testimonies makes me over-think my own, especially recently. The changes and decisions about my faith are there, but not as dramatic. I have to remind myself that my walk with Jesus is uniquely timed and meant just for me. 🤍🕊️
Good testimony, it is so true for many people growing up in a church. We each have our own journey.
Wonderful testimony, and so encouraging and relatable for those of us who grew up with Jesus. It is such a privilege, but not an easy thing to go through when the childlike faith gets tested and tried. Experienced this as well, but in the end the Lord also used the shaking of my faith to mature and purify it and for me to learn to humble myself before Him. All glory to our precious Saviour ❤
Wonderful testimony! ❤ Also if its ok, Please pray for me and my family, that there be peace in our home and in our hearts. Its breaking me seeing them/us fight so much these days. 💔💔💔
Please pray that GOD bless me with a stable job, so that I will never have to borrow and beg anymore. Im tired of being judged, mocked and getting hate only because I have the courage to ask for help. Please pray that me and my family's mind and body stay healthy always. I badly need a miracle right now. 🙏
Just payed
@@Jesussaves8961 thank you for praying. ❤️ GOD bless you always! May you have a great day ahead!
@@eytanbaruk3085 amen 🙏❤️ thank you for praying. GOD bless you always! ❤️
Thank you for your wonderful video's! Love Jesus!
I can tell you from experience.. I was raised around a religious environment by hearing about Jesus Christ. Going to church. Going down and asking for forgiveness. Then not 2 days passes I sin like a sailor.. All this while my parents were professional thieves. They would fight. They cheated on each other. My step dad left us and become a drunk.. My mother would sleep with strangers. etc....
But the kindness of my friends parents. That I would stay with. Showed me the other side of what it means to be a family..And if you stayed over night. You got up on Sunday to go too church..But all that did not help me with being under the law. As that was how I judged myself before God. By my behavior..
Then one day on the way home on a Wednesdays night. God said pull over at this church and go in. I sit in the back and waited for the alter call. I went down and did the normal God forgive me thing we all do. Then as I walked away. He said now come back and get filled with the Holy Spirit.. I turned around and said. I'm here for it all or nothing. They prayed for me and over the next few months God revealed his true self to me. I was never the same since then. As I was no longer bound by the law but understood. That Jesus Christ set me from it. Then I realized what Paul meant in Romans 7:15, For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
We are always captive of Sin in our daily lives. But we have Jesus Christ to carry those Sins for us.. Just help those in need. Do your best to live an upright life. And always be honest with yourselves. As God knows our hearts. It's not hidden from him to start with...Why we needed a redeemer. As the Law can not save us. It just exposes us for whom we are...
0:40 I felt same, i wanted like that Jesus came himself and spoke to me moment like i hear some have. But now, i feel that Jesus does meet a few minority of people face to face because those people are the ones who would not believe unless they had that moment. And i feel like me, i never had any moment at all. But its because i didnt need that to believe. For me, i always known its just common sense to believe in Jesus. For me its the easiest thing to believe in Jesus, but the hardest to follow Him and do the things he says we should do. ✌️
May God Father bless and help us in Jesus Christ Son of God through this last difficult time until meeting
Yeah! Immanuel!!!❤
Jesus is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent
To God be the Glory
Praise God, thank you Rebekah for that beautiful testimony 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Hello 👋🏻, Beautiful Lady how are you and the weather condition like?
Hallelujah ❤️❤️❤️
Don’t wait to have to fall onto your knees with the world on your shoulders to look to our Lord and accept him 🤍
A very encouraging message to the believers in Christ
Thanks for your testimony...yes our walk with Christ is definitely an up and down journey...but we need to keep holding on.He knows we love Him when we keep His word❤️
Im a negative person but I thank God for that because it turned me into a prayerful person.
The peace and happiness that following Christ's teachings can give you is amazing.
Great testimony
I can relate to much of this, except that I came from what I have coined a "Born again Atheist family." In other words, I was encouraged to dispense of any belief in "Religion." Having gone to Israel with my wife in 2017, I gradually, though quite miraculously accepted Jesus; and this was a revelation in itself. I too wrestle with doubts, fall back into sin, look for tangible signs, but then I am reminded of God's mercy, his patience and his love. I'm also from Australia, so when I went to Israel with my wife, I had no inkling that it would result in my conversion, because the power of a parent's devout atheism ( books by Dawkins were posted to me) can seem, on the surface, to solidify disbelief and offer no salvation or hope. My father, whom I love and whom has since passed, was a non-believer based on much personal pain and suffering he endured over the years. He had retired from being a Deputy Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police, and sent me a baseball cap as a "joke", which had F.B.I embroidered on it: " Firm Believer in Jesus." It was the last item he sent me, and the irony is, I have become exactly what he was mocking: a firm believer in Jesus- something he would never have fathomed. My biggest struggle is coming to terms with my father's lack of faith before he passed. Jesus has shown my wife and I sublime beauty and love. If anybody reading this is struggling, know that I too have struggled, but take comfort in knowing that Jesus will never forsake us. Pray for Him to come into your life. Knock, Ask, and he will answer. God bless you all.
Trusting the Lord is the best decision ive ever made ❤🙏✝️ he's so worthy of praise
I remember the words of Jesus telling St. Thomas 'blessed are those who have not seen me and yet believe'. It's a privilege to belong to God's family through Jesus. Blessed be his most sacred Heart and blessed be his most precious Blood. May Jesus bless you for spreading the good news. Love Israel❤❤❤
Do we belong to the 12 tribes of Israel in some way? Could you explain?
Just to be with GOD THE FATHER AND OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST will be enough 🙏
Nifla! I've met Beck! A very humble soul. Y'shua guide her always. Amen Selah.
Thank you for your testimony, Rebeka! 😊❤ It reminded me that God chooses the perfect way for each of us to meet Him according to our personalities and life situations we are at. Sometimes gentle and subtle, and sometimes sudden and forceful.
I'd really like to hear more about the specific struggles you had with regards to your faith when in your later 20ies, and how they got resolved, as well as your thoughts on what could be done better within Christian religion. I think it would be an interesting and fruitful conversation since there are many others who share similar thoughts and struggles.
Love this. I went through this recently. But God's been pulling back in. And she's right. Our culture does make believing difficult without having the scriptures and a firm foundation. Grew up a pastors daughter and legalistic faith as well.
❤May God bless you on your journey ❤
There is something else you can do: keep in mind that many of us have already had tangible moments with Jesus, with His angels and ofttimes we do not remember them. We cannot explain what just happened, so we tuck those experiences into our subconscious memory where they remain. Ask in prayer to spontaneously remember. What comes out of that may pleasantly shock you!
Beautiful people of Israel. Praying for you ❤ God bless your ministry. Love from Brazil 🙏🏻
Authentic testimony on the struggles of growing in one’s faith. Well done.
God initiates the relationship between Himself and humans by revealing Himself to them (Ecclesiastes 3:11; Romans 1:19-20) and lovingly persuading them to come to Him (Romans 2:4; 2 Peter 3:9; Isaiah 30:18), just as Jesus called the disciples to follow Him (Matthew 4:18-22).
God is good all the time, and all the time, God is good! 🙏❤
God bless you in powerful name of Jesus Christ sister and brother.
Last night I watched the most horrifying video about the Holocaust!!
When I realized that this is what God did to his own people who rejected their Messiah, I fear for those who knew Jesus and then turned away.
God did not do this to his people, the devil was behind the evil and cruelty.
If you were to read corrie ten booms book " the hiding place" you would see how God blessed her for hiding the jews and he was there with them in their pain.
Her quote" there is no pit so deep that's gods love is not deeper still"
Great video
What a priviledged girl (young woman), experiencing both worlds (Jewish and Christian) !
Thank you for this video. It describes me. Doubts and fears.
Today, 16 June, is a Holy Friday, as we celebrate the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in the Catholic community. His Heart so full of love outpouring and forgiving for each and everyone of us. Please check it out !
Courage is Fear which Prayed; is also something our Sister Corrie Ten Boom said, It took me like forever to even Realise how scared i was all my Life. Thank You so much Jesus Christ, Father for your unddeserving Kindness, Grace and A Love so Great it superseeds everything and has Victory over all evil.
Praying the Lords Prayer slowly, Feeling the Meaning. Allowing Yourself The Time with Him for as long as You like. Feel His Peace which Superseeds All Things.
Tell Him everything like You would to a Loving Father Because thats what HE is. Let go, Surrender all Fear all Control to HIM, also if You feel that your Faith is Weak tell Him that too....Jesus Christ our God and King will never deny a desperete Heart. Only through HIM we are able to Do anything.
Heavenly Father I come to You just as I am and confess with my mouth that Jesus died for me and rose again on the third day and sit now on the right hand of the Father. Holy Spirit guide me, teach me & fill me. In the name of Jesus, I pray, Amen, and Amen.
We have to tell people about Jesus Christ🕊️ and preach the Gospel
Hallelujah.
Yes my dear sister.. it's very true as he said..' If you love me keep my commandment. Jhn14;15
I salute this kind of woman.
Ameen Ameen and praise the lord Ameen helyluja
Glorie Domnului Isus! Aleluia!
I’m struggling in my faith. I have no doubt when it comes to HaShem, but I am struggling with who Yeshua is and His place in my heart and in the Kingdom. I keep it to myself because I don’t want to confuse my children or upset my husband. I am pushing though and praying that peace and clarity will come soon.
Thank you, Rebekah. I too grew up in a similar situation and honestly have only experienced Jesus a few times in 50 years. But it doesn't take much, does it!!! He is so good and gentle and real. His promises are true and He is always with us, even when we can't feel Him.💖
The lord Jesus, so many times he has saved me. There is so much I just cant explain, I do know he is always with me...until the end of time.
Amen. I love you both my brother and sister.
This channel has lots of good programs
Praise God! God is so Good!
Her words are spot on. Is this a good place when you want a two way conversation.
