 WHY BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16:33

Shabbat shalom dearly beloved:

Only a week ago my 23 year old son Yuval was on an operation table with his two feet “on the other side”. According to the doctors he was more dead than alive and for three hours that the surgery took place they could give us not one glimpse of hope. Yuval had lost too much blood and he was receiving a serious blood transfusion. We kept on declaring “Yuval shall live and not die and declare the works of Adonai” and we proclaimed the power of the Blood of Yeshua. We did this for 3 hours until the two doctors that operated on him came out of the surgery room, totally exhausted and gave us the good news: “your son is alive!” HaleluYah!!!

His recovery went pretty fast for an operation of this magnitude and in less than a week he had come out of immediate danger thanks to the prayers of many, yet the treatment needed to continue maybe for months unless Yah would intervene miraculously to heal the genetic disease that brought about such dramatic crisis. His father had died from this disease and also his father’s elder brother and now the same disease was claiming the life of my 23 year old precious son. I had in my knowledge done all I knew to break the family curses from the father’s side as well as from my side, so why was this disease still plaguing us?

Prior to this turn of events we have had a very successful trip to the USA where for the first time in 19 years we saw softness, brokenness and repentance. We also experienced many miracles and revival fires were lit up that kept on burning after we were gone. Some people suggested that satan was trying to destroy us because we dared to bring the Gospel made in Zion to the USA. On top of it we started our GRM Bible School in Israel and a new congregation in the City of Eilat on the Red Sea called, Kehilat Ahavat-Yah. Some of us suggested that satan is very mad when the gospel advances in Israel! In fact the assignment that I had given our GRM students on the day prior to this heart breaking crisis was to build an altar of stones. Each student was encouraged to bring 5 stones with 5 names of Israelis they had met and place their stones on the altar of prayer in our Worship Living Tower in Eilat. That way as we pray for the Revival of Eilat we would also be praying for all the “name-stones” and begin to see Yah (God) move in miraculous ways to reveal the Gospel. Yuval’s name was placed there by two of the students. Satan did not like that so he decided to kill Yuval as fast as he could using the genetic weakness (family curse) that also took his father’s life when Yuval was only 6 years old!

I encourage you to read my testimony book YES that gives the dramatic story of my salvation. In that book I explain how I was divorced when I met Messiah and so both my two children were not raised with me. Later on when their dad died I claimed my children back, but the paternal grand- parents had filed suit against me, claiming that I was an unfit mother because of my belief in Yeshua. My testimony of salvation was placed on the judge’s table as a solid proof “written by my own hands” that I was indeed an unfit mother because I was a believer in Messiah. In fact the judge took all my rights as a mother away and refused to let me see my children at all unless I agreed to go through an extensive psychological treatment to “straighten me and my belief system up” so I can become a “fit mother”. Needless to say I did not agree to the treatment and could not see my children unless under STRICT supervision from a social worker, I was not allowed to have ANY private time with my two kids!

Those were very painful years! The court case went on for one and a half years with many false accusations and false evidences against me, yet I did not lose my joy because my testimony book was being read by the judge, the attorneys, social workers and psychologists. The Almighty was achieving much more that met the eye and I was fulfilling my calling as an apostle of the Living God! Yet as a mother my heart was broken many times. In those days we had no car and for years we used to travel by buses and walk in the rain or the sun to visit my children once a week under the watchful eyes of the social services. So my two children were not raised with me, but rather raised under the family and mantle of the paternal grandparents that cared for them in every way. They also made sure that they would reject me and my faith altogether! Due to that my two babies grew up under a spirit of humanism and unbelief that would affect them for many years to come until today! This was a good, moral family with wonderful values and yet totally Anti-Messiah!

It took me years of showing unconditional love before they would even relate to me as a human being. I became the scapegoat for everything! Many years later the grandfather prayed with me that Y’shua would reveal himself to him and also read the New Testament and my books. Every time I would come from a mission’s trip he would ask me from a report and he would weep when I told him on how I preach about the Jewish Roots of Christianity, my enemy became my ally! That’s what unconditional love can do! As I write these words the grandfather is on his death bed and he may go home to be with the Lord tomorrow but my conscious is clear that I have done all I could to love this man (that stole my children from me) into the Kingdom!

Beloved my son Yuval could have died last Wednesday, but his physical death would have been only a small tragedy! His eternal death would have been the true tragedy! Thanks to The Most High God whom I have served diligently day and night for 21 years and all His praying saints my Yuval is alive physically and my prayer is that SOON he also will be alive spiritually. It is not for nothing that the Lord tells us in the Proverbs “train a child in the way that he should go”, truly my son was trained to reject me and my Messiah and it is hard to change the “hard disk” of his mind but nothing is impossible with God! I have suffered for His name and my children are in his hands and thanks to all of your continual prayers for him and his 26 year old sister Adi we will have some awesome testimonies of Israeli salvations!

So why do bad things happen to good people? Simply because we live in this world! In this world we will have tribulation! I am always amazed at those that behave just like Job’s friends and begin to give me their opinion of what I should do better in the midst of terrible and tragic distresses. Those people are immature and full of themselves though they mean well. They normally ASSUME that they know “why” you are suffering IF you are a true Servant of God! Beloved both the Ministers of Elohim and all the rest of us are still in this world and we will have tribulation! The question is not “why” but “how to” pass the tests and trials without denying our faith and walk with Messiah, without falling into unbelief, bitterness or resentment!

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5,6

The key is not the “why” but the “how” and the answer is TRUST, absolute TRUST! Trusting in YHVH will keep you safe, sane and on course! And at the end of the day something good will come out of it just as it is written:

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Proverbs 8:28

It is time that we understand that being saved does not exempt us from suffering! As long as we live in this world we will be exposed to suffering and even more so when we are righteous and serve Elohim because there is a devil out there that hates us!

A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all. Psalms 34:19

Thank you for all of your prayers on our behalf! We have been in the front lines of battle suffering many things for the sake of Yeshua’s name! Now, we need your prayers to uphold and carry us through UNTIL we see my beloved children Adi and Yuval FULLY in the Kingdom and all of Israel saved! I believe in miracles, do you?

Even though I walk  through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff,  they comfort me. Psalms 23:4

This week we have gone through the valley of the shadow of death but we know that He is with us!

Thank you so much for being with us too!
