Testimonials of the Saints of YAHWEH
Blessed be YAHWEH, the ABBA (FATHER) of our MESSIYAH YAHSHUA who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in MESSIYAH...(Eph. 1:3)
Praise YAHWEH! Each morning when I wake up I thank the Heavenly ABBA for putting life, breath, health and strength in my physical body. I also thank HIM for putting freedom and liberty of movement in my arms, legs, hands and feet, especially when I consider that there are many people who are paralyzed, bedridden or shut-ins, etc. There are even people in ABBA YAHWEH's sheepfold who are suffering these afflictions (ABBA, help them) and they manage to thank YAHWEH for HIS goodness, so who am I not to thank HIM?
You know many people who claim to be saved think that spiritual blessings consist of fine cars, expensive homes, fancy clothes, lots of money, jobs etc. These are in fact not spiritual blessings at all. Devarim (Deuteronomy) 33:29 says "Happy are you, O Yisrael: who is like unto you, O people saved of YAHWEH, the shield of your help, and who is the sword of your excellency! And your enemies shall be found liars unto you; and you shall tread upon their high places." Go over to Tehillim (Psalms) 29:11 and it says "YAHWEH will give strength unto HIS people; YAHWEH will bless HIS people with peace." Now look at Tehillim ( Psalms)18:35 it says "YOU have given me the shield of YOUR salvation: and YOUR right hand hath held me up, and YOUR gentleness hath made me great." YermeYah (Jeremiah) 31:14 says, "And I will satiate the soul of the kohen- (priests) with fatness, and MY people shall be satisfied with MY goodness, saith YAHWEH." Now turn over to the New Testament and look at QorintYah Alef-(1 Corinthians) 2:9 it states, "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which YAHWEH hath prepared for them that love HIM." And now to Kepha Bet (2 Peter) 1:4,5: "Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the SetApart nature, having escaped corruption that is in this world through lust. And beside this giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience SetApart Pureness; and to SetApart Pureness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness love ." And there you have it! Those scriptures are examples of spiritual blessings! Financial gain and abundance of possessions have nothing to do with it at all. It is important to be thankful, also. That is something we all need to do more of. I know I do. How do we do that? By simply counting our blessings. I am sure many of you have heard the popular praise song, "Give Thanks", we sing it here in our congregation, and I often like to sing it and play it on my guitar when I am at home. It has a line that says "Let the weak say that I am strong, let the poor say that I am rich.." And we can do just that. HALLELUYAH! In everything give thanks for this is the will of MESSIYAH concerning you. TesloniqYah Alef (1Thessalonians) 5:18)
Finally brethren farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the ABBA of love and peace shall be with you QorintYah Bet- (2 Corinthians) 13:11) May YAHWEH richly bless all HIS people.
HALLELUYAH

May YAHWEH bless all HIS people! My name is Stacey Plourde. I am twenty-one years old and have lived here at Victory Community for two and one-half years. I have been very happy and blessed to be amongst the people of YAHWEH.
I came to the knowledge of HIS NAME in 2003. I thank HIM for helping me to open my heart and receive the knowledge of the truth.
The road of righteousness has had many bumps and trials but it is a straight road. I would not want to travel any other. I am eternally thankful to YAHWEH who has held my hand and kept me from falling. HE has given me the strength to lift my head and the mercy to walk in HIS light. I can truthfully say YAHSHUA has led me all the way.
But you are a chosen generation, a royal ke hunnah-(priesthood), a SetApart nation, a peculiar people; that you should shew forth the praises of HIM who hath called you out of darkness into HIS marvelous light:
Which in time past were not a people of YAHWEH, but now are the people of YAHWEH; which had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. Kepha Alef (1Peter) 2:9,10
In YAHSHUA MESSIYAH,
