RECIPE FOR PEACE : repentance, forgiveness,
reconciliation = PEACE
RECIPE FOR PEACE : repentance, forgiveness,
reconciliation = peace
Dear Friends,
This recipe, might look simplistic but in practice its the most complex process...
Only the wise ones can remain friends whilst they beliefs differ...as in the interview above where a wise Muslim shows a spirit of love and respect towards Jewish people, called the People of the Book...
Unfortunately sometimes when not much wisdom have been saught and displayed from the beginning because one group or both of them used
evil fruits of the flesh instead of using good fruits of the spirit...
it is too late to remain under the same roof!
So that to avoid wars and further mutual destruction, the two ennemies must separate peacefully and agree to disagree from a distance, as a last resort for Peace!
This is why I believe that now an independant Palestinian
state must exist at the side of the Jewish Israeli state...
As a spiritual counsellor, listening to many people, I have noticed that
it is not possible to always forgive and forget on the spot...even in minor
individual or family conflicts...
Inner healing is often a process... it takes sometimes years to be able to
really forgive a major aggression for the victim...
As it takes as well time for the aggressors to be able to see what they did
wrong because they are so trapped in their devious logics and to finally be in the position to acknowledge their wrong and sincerely repent... but it takes even more time to recover and change inside!!!
So that sometimes in family crisis for instance, it is best not to see each other even though the person at fault repented because that person might still be struggling with an addiction to violence or else which makes it unsafe for the family to be reunited until there is a full recovery!!!
If one wants to apply this basic inner healing insight of relationships, not
to individuals, not to families but to Nations... this gets even more complicated...
The best then is separation and for each one to have his own vital space to heal inner wounds without getting continually fuelled by mutual damaging hatred etc
As I said, I am at times looking at conspiracy videos because the main stream media seems only one sided and we need to live in a plural society where information comes from different sources and even opposite sources to get a clearer picture....
What comes accross when one looks at these videos, such as this documentary above about Americans nazis still praising Hitler and hating Jews etc
is that they are groups of people who hate each other at the top of the pyramid and fight between themselves for controlling us, the masses... it is a matter of power over us...
But friends, whether fascism, nazism, earthly Zionism, coming from Jews or haters of Jews, or communism etc it is still the same hateful system there to enslave us all at a global scale...
We need to remain vigilant and not get hooked into hatred and violence,
not get hooked in extremism, but remain balanced healthy free spirits...
always looking for the real truth, noble values with sincerity of heart...
I can read lots of swear words, insults, threats etc as comments under these videos...
this alone is demonstrating you which spirit is animating them...
For those who believe in God they know that the Holy Spirit is a spirit of love and peace and true justice as for those who are atheist but believe in Universal love and the highest good for our planet, you know this is not the language of love...
Please listen to the video above where Galatians 5 in the Bible explains
what it is to be a free spirit looking for the beautiful good loving fruits of the spirit and not the ugly hateful evil fruits of the flesh...
It is important to carry on our work on ourselves to grow spiritually and to keep on focusing on the true light and love of Yeshua/Christ or Universal Love
and not to give in such forceful manipulations...
We should from time to time be aware
of what is going on in our world and look at such videos, just to know what
extremists are aiming at to be more prepared to resist such abusive trends but not to partake in these crimes against humanity.....
We must strive to remain in a free world, preserving freedom of speech and human rights within a colorful multicultural world,
since to me the myth of pure race,
whether it comes from Israel or the ennemies of Israel is systematically
linked to a form of supremacist racist facism...and not worthed of our
humanity ...
We need also to learn to respect the space of each group and main cultures
not to colonise each other or nagg each other but to give each other the
space to enjoy different cultures and different view points with tolerance
and respect...
For this reason, sometimes it is best to take a distance rather then to interfere in a violent manner.
Praying for others or sending them love even and most of all when we dont agree with them is crucial to transform spiritually our world
in a more loving world...
It all starts by learning to love yoursel as you are ...God created you exactly
as you are because He dearly loves you and He has a special plan for your life...
If you are like me a melting pot, dont let anyone convince you that you are a mistake or that you are nothing...
You are very special indeed and God loves you very much...
you are richer and a gift to this world....
I might surprise you but both facist sides need help, both sides are hurting
The ones who are doing evil things are in need of more inner healing than the rest of us...
We need to resist the evil spirit manipulating them but at the same
time we need to have compassion and pray for them.
Both sides made a terrible mistake which is to take things into their own hands, upholding tyrannical primitive male values rather than listening to godly spiritual feminine virtues or universal wisdom...
They think they will take a shortcut and get there sooner
becoming mass murderers and amassing all the moneys in their hands to remain in charge as control freaks...
How naive and childish! The only thing they do is attracting more hatred and cahos in our world and misery at the end for themselves....
They really need our prayers and help to realise they
can still repent and come back to Universal Love or God our father/mother and Yeshua/Christ our Messiah...
There is beauty, peace and love in His presence and abondant spiritual wealth for all!
Allowing universal Love and highest good to lead us seems at times a longer walk where we accept to show ourselves vulnerable and childlike but it is a safer one for our humanity....
I just wish to end with Ephesians 2, I will copy for you at the end...
Although some in these groups pretend to be atheists, it is very clear
that the main issue between them is because they misunderstood the Bible.
The Nazis who are haters of Jews are actually dreading what they see as
a biblical prophecy that the Jews are the chosen people who should rule the world...
The Earthly facist Zionists are actually rushing ahead in this direction
because they have in mind the same false interpretation of the Bible...
So although both groups pretend to be atheists and despise the Bible,
they are actually both fighting on the basis of a wrong biblical
interpretation!!!
How better would it be for them to open their bible and pray and ask
for the real meaning of it and explanation of God towards the Jewish
people, his servant meant to bring the law and salvation to the Gentiles,
us, so to set us free from the slavery of sin!
We need to be grateful to God for the Jewish people, His servant
When we love the Jewish people and pray for them, God will heal them from all the pain they went through and the bad elements amongst them will
come back to their senses and make peace with God and Yeshua Messiah...
so they will completely change their perspective and instead of imitating
the Gentile fascism and nazism they will become again servants of God
and priests to help us know HIS divine love and wisdom so we grow
happier and richer spiritually, exactly like Yeshua and his disciples did!
As for the Christians, many have and are still showing lots of love to
Israel and the Jewish people because they understood that the most important is their own reconciliation with Yeshua Messiah so they
get healed inside and can again function properly after all the persecussions
they suffered, which has distorted their minds...
Unfortunately they might still remain some earthly Zionist who will refuse
to come back to their senses and who might forcefully uphold the WRONG biblical interpretation as for them using the Gentiles as servants to use them and robb their money etc so to be worshipped in the flesh ...
As explained last time, there has always been amongst Jews some worshippers of the golden calf, even from Moses times and God has severly disciplined them even to the point to have killed some in the desert...
Another wrong misconception such facists from both groups cultivate is that God could make acception of persons... Well HE DOES NOT !!!
GOD IS FAIR!
Wether from a Jewish or a Gentile origin, beware...God will judge you in fairness and if you are guilty of monstruous crime against humanity, He will punish you the same!!!
WE MUST UNITE TO PRAY FOR OUR PALESTINIAN AND MUSLIM BROTHERS AND SISTERS TOO! WE MUST UNITE TO STOP WARS AGAINST THEM!
The Bible tells us that there will be a remenant of Jews who will
be saved by God because they will repent and connect again with the God of Israel through Yeshua Messiah...We can already see that some honest good Jewish people, alike some Muslims, although not yet recognizing Yeshua as their Messiah, are already demonstrating the FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT AND GODLY WISDOM which are obviously ruling their lives for the benefit of all!
Friends, God is observing us all! He wants to see what we are going to do...
persecute each other and hate each other to fight for earthly power, money and privileges... or love each other and build up each other through spiritual growth and inner healing so that each one us can play his own instrument in the beautiful loving symphony oF Universal Love!
As you will read in Ephesian 2,
the plan of God was from the beginning for each of us, Jews, Gentiles to become ONE in universal love and to serve God and each other...but it has never been for a group, whether Jew or Gentile,
to dominate harshly on the other and enslave it!!!!
I have been persecuted because of my Jewish side by some false Christians from a Gentile origin, who misunderstood the bible and crushed me because they felt threatened by my talents etc when younger and they caused great harm to me... as I have been persecuted by earthly Zionist Jews who felt superiors as a race...
I had, dear friends, to do a lot of forgiveness work inside, towards both sides, Jewish and Gentiles etc to get where I am today! So that I can understand how you feel if one of these groups has hurt you too in the past!
However, I have also been helped and loved by Good Christians..
As a Christian from Gentile origin helped me to realise the love of God for
all of us and the need to pray for the Jewish people who are still ignorant
about this New covenant of love in Yeshua to hasten His coming back and
our peace, I urge you to do so!
This French lady by the way, who is one of my spiritual mothers, gave her life to Christ very young, became a nurse and midwife and went to help thousands of people in need in Africa, then she came back in France, helped prisoners, drugg addicted and prostitutes etc to be set free from the slavery of sin and get a new beautiful life of love and peace!
It is paramount to salute such devotion to bring about the fruits of the spirit
in our world, to bring about heaven on earth for so many in distress!
And whether Jewish, Muslim, Christian or atheist... this is the role model,
I implore you to choose and imitate!
Let us focus on growing such beautiful spiritual fruits in our lives and
in others... Let us unite to pray to free the captives everywhere...
from whatever group they belong...
THEN AND ONLY THEN, WE WILL KNOW REAL TRUE PEACE!
Dont forget, that you are always very much loved, just as you are!

following ephesian 2 I copied for you
Ephesians 2
New International Version (NIV)
Made Alive in Christ
2 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Jew and Gentile Reconciled Through Christ
11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

PEACE NOW...LOVE AND PRAYER CONQUER ALL!
PEACE NOW...LOVE AND PRAYER CONQUER ALL!
PEACE NOW...LOVE AND PRAYER CONQUER ALL!
Dear Friends,
I believe it is our duty to preserve freedom of speech and human rights
for all even and more so when we dont agree with other's view points and when we seem to have a leading position.
So please dont allow youtube or any other social network to ban any of these conspiracy videos even if you dont agree with them since this is the only way plural viewpoints can be heard as IT SHOULD BE IN THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA IN A DEMOCRACY ....
More so, I recommend to all to listen to many viewpoints based on facts and well documentated with respect so to be able to discern new ideas or new angles of looking at the same issue. It takes some courage to speak out mainly on controversial issues where some could risk their lives to help find out the real truth... even if they would mistake, we must salute their courage...
Watching more controversial videos on youtube, inspired me a few more
essential comments.
I am not pretending to bring you all the answers but just bring some
suggestions...
It seems several groups are accusing each other of the responsibility
of crimes against humanity on our planet.
My insight is feminine spiritual humanitarian multicultural and artistic, I am not into politics...
The great division I see is between those who are holding directly responsible a religious group or a race and those who are holding directly responsible a non religious group in power.
Being in the middle of the three main religions by birth, I believe God is
calling me to bring my little insight from my own angle and unique view point....
I see myself first and foremost as a free spirit who has always been and
is always still looking for the real truth in everything without a biais
but with as much objectivity as I can.
The advantage of being a melting pot to objectivity is that although it happens that at times, I feel tempted to take position for one side of me, very quickly the other side, suffers from it, if my taking position is unfair or excessive.
I am sorry to say so, but I believe that humans tend to only relate to what they themselves felt and truly experienced through the unique circumstances of their making....and tend to remain indifferent to other people pleas who represent to them an unknown or different or opposed group.
I am sad very sad to discover like Candide that evil has been chosen by certain individuals and groups to the point of purposely, delibaretely plot to harm others for greed or any other trivial ambition on such a damaging global scale.
From my perspective and even after listening to the arguments exposed in these videos...I still believe that deeply each one of us has been originally created good and became dual since the fall, through sin and knowing evil so that in any basic human being we can find a gradation from good to evil in relative proportions, which varies according to their beliefs and the actions they choose to entertain upon their own values or lack of values...
We have here serious accusations against some Jewish leaders which could be true...
and also serious accusations against certain bankers, secular groups in power, secret sects...as well as certains accusations against some Catholics in charge or other ethnical groups in power etc
I am stopping at these for the moment...
I must say that I did not check any of these personally but that I salute the
courage of people who care for our world and want to wake up to find the real truth behind our troubles to treat the sickness at its root.. as this is
the duty of each one of us to ask such questions instead of just living
selfish lives and not caring if some weirdoes decide to blow up the planet ...
The danger of a nuclear war is not only relevant when it comes to Muslim
countries who suffered butcher like elimination without ever finding
trace of the mass weapons we were told they were hiding!
But is much more relevant if only one group of powerful western countries
keep their nuclear equipments whilst poorer countries cannot defend
themselves....
If you ask me, i believe that each country on the planet should get read of nuclear weapons, starting with our western countries to show the example...
and foremost in the Holy Land, Israel/Palestine too!!!!
If some of these allegations in these videos are partially or all true, I wish to
just mention how I see things from the view point also of a spiritual counsellor.
I wish to focus on what I know best to start with...
Let us start with the Jewish group...
Being a Jew myself, whatever some ultra orthodox rabbies said, as I explained earlier, God has shown me I was Jewish in His eyes...
I know how it feels to be continually nagged, ignored or persecuted because
of pure anti-semitism.
It was very unbiblical and wrong,
for some Gentiles, Catholics and other Christians,
to persecute continually Jews just because they were born Jews,
for the false reason that they killed Christ....
Firstly every good Christian knows that Christ allowed the devil to kill Him
only to prove the devil was defeated so to save all of us so to set us free
from the slavery of the devil...so we are born again and get eternal life with
our loving God...
He mainly wanted to show that NO ONE CAN KILL GOD BECAUSE GOD IS LIFE ITSELF...
So that He won even our last ennemy death...
It was God who called Jewish people to be HIS servant to bring the Jewish
prophets and Yeshua Messiah to humanity, to save all of us Gentiles
(I revendicate I am a Gentile too by birth...)
Although it is true that some of the religious Jews at the time demanded Christ's death and persecuted the first Christians who happened to be Jewish, God would not demand Christians to persecute Jews in return but on the contrary to LOVE THEM TO KNOWING THEIR OWN MESSIAH!
The Jewish people has been suffering a severe training
and teaching in the hands of God for our sakes... Please read the new testament and mainly the writings of Paul in Romans etc
Also the first Christians were Jewish and they gave their lives to bring
salvation to us Gentiles....Paul, Peter etc
So that what this horrid anti-semitism was hiding is pure jalousy and racism...
fueiling the hatred of the devil against the chosen servant of God...
As well as trying to take their place in the eyes of God without giving
them credit for the good work they did for God and all of us...because of
human pride and envy...like the brothers of Joseph did!!!
If I can analyse what I felt and still feel when someone shows me hatred just
because one feels I look Jewish or my sense of humour or my manerism is Jewish in their eyes... as I heard many times in my life...
and was discriminated against and even refused work at times,
employers who did not know me told me at interviews
we dont hire Jews here and since I had a Jewish name, it was the best position to check exactly how Jews are treated from my own flesh perspective...
I know anti-semitism exist and it is A SIN, It is wrong and God hates
anti-semitism....
In this context, I can understand but not excuse... that some Jews who dont
have my gentile side to temper things, could become at their turn, haters
of Gentiles and Christians...
Remember, remember, Catholics burnt Jews at the stake etc to force them to
convert...
Remember, remember, that Jews were very often oppressed and persecuted and kept at the lowest of society in different countries etc...
Hence, I can understand but not excuse... that some Jews might have decided to take in their own hands their own destiny...
They were tired to wait for the Messiah promised by their rabbies...
and not to see God deliverance. Because of their own spiritual immaturity, rebellion and sin.. they decided to take it in their own hands to make justice and deliver themselves from an unfair oppression...
Of course, as some good Rabbies will tell you this is a sin and a lack of
understanding of the true ways of God, but they felt angry against God and
some became atheists and are now trying to vindicate their group in what
they see as the true justice....by punishing gentiles at their turn...
and boasting in their flesh about their God given talents to rule them
and humiliate them at their turn ...
Unfortunately it is not only such earthly Zionists who plot to rule the world...Other groups who are not Jewish have and still try to do so too....
What is the real world around us friends?
Unfortunately these videos bring about some info about murder, mafias, crime etc
These Jews might have decided, wrongly as far as I am concerned,
that the only way they would not live in exile anymore was in taking things in their own hands uniting to use all the talents and gifts God did gave them as a blessing,
as a reward to be His servant,
in the wrong way....
to make a master plan so to rule others instead of being ruled by others...
This master plan including crime as a mean to get there... as they might have thought the others use ruthless means... so why not us???
Because What matters to the oppressed is sometimes just the way out...
It is tragic not to belong and not to have a country and to be in exile...
I know how it feels too because I never feel I belong anywhere...
As explained, the racism in Israel does not make me feel I belong either...
but what makes me feel I belong in Israel is the country itself...
Since I am seeing the God of Israel and Yeshua Messiah everywhere and it
is there that I feel nearest to my spiritual inheritance.
The Bible has always been very clear that God did give this land to the
Jews... I am not denying that myself... however what I contest is the criminal means some Jews used and are using to get there...
One cant claim a Godly inheritance with blood on their hands!!!
I believe in prayer and obedience to the main command of God, love God
with all of your heart and your neighbour as yourself as the only GODLY WAY to get anywhere!!! Alike some balanced Rabbies who say that only Messiah will grant peace in Israel for Jews and Palestinians alike and not wars...
If not we cannot clame we are Jewish or Christians!!!
Because we are then OUT OF GOD SPIRITUAL TERRITORY ...
So to come back to our reasoning, I notice that in some of these videos,
accusing some Jews to use crime, robbing finance through banks etc
one always quote they use part of this money to finance Israel....
Although some of these Jews might have committed these
crimes against Gentiles,
it was in their reasoning to make Justice to their people
and their cause and to get for their people a home, a country, their own
country, taking them out of their unfair sufferings and bringing them
the good life they thought they deserve...
It is what other groups do too, including the Italian Catholic mafia who often revendicates to be the good guys, after killing many in a butcher like manner... then just go to church to pray
and spoil their own family and social group with the financial outcome
of their theafts....
They still think they do this FOR A GOOD, they still see themselves as tough guys with a big heart for God!
You would ask like me...
WHY and HOW ON EARTH could such groups see themselves as the
GOOD GUY even the HERO with so much blood on their hands???
One of my replies is that it is unfortunately because we live in a MANS WORLD...
One of my replies is that it is unfortunately because immature tyrannical male primitive values have been too long ruling the world on their own
bullying spiritual feminine virtues in an oppressive silence and submission...
Wisdom is feminine in Hebrew and to the Greek wisdom is Sofia, a feminine expression...
Notice the three main religions are all based on a strong patriarchal
view point at times not even allowing WOMEN TO SPEAK...
It is only praise to the secular human rights legislation that women finally dared speaking and bringing an input to this world...
But there again unfortunately until now, only two groups of females were allowed in and taken seriously by males in charge...
1)The WHORE, young unexperienced only there to satisfy their sexual fantaisies...
is often the only type of female such senior males in leadership can relate to..
but they do mainly at the horizontal.. which does not bring much help to our
cause,
except from ruining marriages and bringing immorality to our world as
a model instead of virtue etc....we all know the results of such sexual addictions...porn, prostitution, human trafficking etc etc etc...
2)The woman who denies her feminity to become a MAN, speaking with a deep voice like a man, showing she can be a man, go to war like a man, be a boxer like a man
etc etc etc and this type of females usually despise other ones who remain feminine and believe in equality in complementarity...
At times men also listen to their mothers but they very rarely respect the wisdom of their own wives and very rarely treat her as the essential equal complementary partner bringing about true wisdom in their lives ....
Let us take a gentile example.... the one of the wife of Ponce Pilate... whos
wife told him, dont have anything to do with the murder of Jesus...
We can see that even in Roman times, women were also suppressed and not respected...
Friends, the point I am trying to make here is a terrible one...
and it is that each group has blood on their hands...
each group provoked the other one for unfair supremacy ...
each group used violence, crime etc for wrong reasons... greed, ambition etc
each group TRY TO JUSTIFY THEMSELVES BY THEIR GOOD INTENTIONS ...
Unfortunately as we know HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS...
What we need friends is not GOOD INTENTIONS BUT TRUE GODLY WISDOM!!!
I am working at a script about feminine wisdom or the feminine side of God...
I wish to try to help as much as I can...I am still carrying on my own enquiry about the real truth, the general media might have hidden from us... as it is our duty in any democraty to find the real truth...
In the process,
I will not forsake my Jewish people I love
I will not forsake my Christian people I love
I will not forsake my Gentile people I love
and I will not forsake my Muslim friends I love...
I will do it through my feminine free spirit humanitarian,
beleiving in Yeshua Messiah and the God of Israel,
way...I love as much catholics, Messianic Jews, protestants and evangelicals etc...
and refuse the partition of denominations in the Body of Christ...
I agree and disagree with many of their different arguments...
because I have my own feminine spiritual humanitarian multicultural
and unique way of seeing things...
Meanwhile, I just wish to ask you for your help to
STOP MORE WARS ...
LET US UNITE FOR PEACE NOW
LET US NOT ALLOW ANOTHER WAR IN SYRIA OR IN IRAN...
IN THE NAME OF UNIVERSAL LOVE
IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IN GOD AND
INTHE NAME OF THE HIGHEST GOOD
PLEASE UNITE TO STOP THE MASSACRE OF MORE INNOCENTS!
Let us support war victims... from each side...
Let us love each group back to peace...
Let us stretch our hands and pray even for the murderers...
We need first to help victims and save them but we also need to
go after the 99 sheep who lost his or her way to perdition...
Friends, come and join me, I am not asking for donations although
I need to buy the equipment for my first cinema film.. because I believe God will provide for me!
So dont give to anyone who pretends to be me...on the internet
I have written this pink on white on my website since there is a lot of
fraude going on and i am not a computer wizard so that I am not able to
check things well then dont send any money to anyone who could claim to be me...
However if you wish to help me in anyway, please be in touch directly with me
...
What matters most here friends is to save our planet, to protect
innocent victims from criminals ...
to save souls so they can know the true GOD OF LOVE!
Please dont be a stranger, write... lets unite to make a difference!
Love to all

prophets and Yeshua Messiah to humanity, to save all of us Gentiles
(I revendicate I am a Gentile too by birth...)
Although it is true that some of the religious Jews at the time demanded Christ's death and persecuted the first Christians who happened to be Jewish, God would not demand Christians to persecute Jews in return but on the contrary to LOVE THEM TO KNOWING THEIR OWN MESSIAH!
The Jewish people has been suffering a severe training
and teaching in the hands of God for our sakes... Please read the new testament and mainly the writings of Paul in Romans etc
Also the first Christians were Jewish and they gave their lives to bring
salvation to us Gentiles....Paul, Peter etc
So that what this horrid anti-semitism was hiding is pure jalousy and racism...
fueiling the hatred of the devil against the chosen servant of God...
As well as trying to take their place in the eyes of God without giving
them credit for the good work they did for God and all of us...because of
human pride and envy...like the brothers of Joseph did!!!
If I can analyse what I felt and still feel when someone shows me hatred just
because one feels I look Jewish or my sense of humour or my manerism is Jewish in their eyes... as I heard many times in my life...
and was discriminated against and even refused work at times,
employers who did not know me told me at interviews
we dont hire Jews here and since I had a Jewish name, it was the best position to check exactly how Jews are treated from my own flesh perspective...
I know anti-semitism exist and it is A SIN, It is wrong and God hates
anti-semitism....
In this context, I can understand but not excuse... that some Jews who dont
have my gentile side to temper things, could become at their turn, haters
of Gentiles and Christians...
Remember, remember, Catholics burnt Jews at the stake etc to force them to
convert...
Remember, remember, that Jews were very often oppressed and persecuted and kept at the lowest of society in different countries etc...
Hence, I can understand but not excuse... that some Jews might have decided to take in their own hands their own destiny...
They were tired to wait for the Messiah promised by their rabbies...
and not to see God deliverance. Because of their own spiritual immaturity, rebellion and sin.. they decided to take it in their own hands to make justice and deliver themselves from an unfair oppression...
Of course, as some good Rabbies will tell you this is a sin and a lack of
understanding of the true ways of God, but they felt angry against God and
some became atheists and are now trying to vindicate their group in what
they see as the true justice....by punishing gentiles at their turn...
and boasting in their flesh about their God given talents to rule them
and humiliate them at their turn ...
Unfortunately it is not only such earthly Zionists who plot to rule the world...Other groups who are not Jewish have and still try to do so too....
What is the real world around us friends?
Unfortunately these videos bring about some info about murder, mafias, crime etc
These Jews might have decided, wrongly as far as I am concerned,
that the only way they would not live in exile anymore was in taking things in their own hands uniting to use all the talents and gifts God did gave them as a blessing,
as a reward to be His servant,
in the wrong way....
to make a master plan so to rule others instead of being ruled by others...
This master plan including crime as a mean to get there... as they might have thought the others use ruthless means... so why not us???
Because What matters to the oppressed is sometimes just the way out...
It is tragic not to belong and not to have a country and to be in exile...
I know how it feels too because I never feel I belong anywhere...
As explained, the racism in Israel does not make me feel I belong either...
but what makes me feel I belong in Israel is the country itself...
Since I am seeing the God of Israel and Yeshua Messiah everywhere and it
is there that I feel nearest to my spiritual inheritance.
The Bible has always been very clear that God did give this land to the
Jews... I am not denying that myself... however what I contest is the criminal means some Jews used and are using to get there...
One cant claim a Godly inheritance with blood on their hands!!!
I believe in prayer and obedience to the main command of God, love God
with all of your heart and your neighbour as yourself as the only GODLY WAY to get anywhere!!! Alike some balanced Rabbies who say that only Messiah will grant peace in Israel for Jews and Palestinians alike and not wars...
If not we cannot clame we are Jewish or Christians!!!
Because we are then OUT OF GOD SPIRITUAL TERRITORY ...
So to come back to our reasoning, I notice that in some of these videos,
accusing some Jews to use crime, robbing finance through banks etc
one always quote they use part of this money to finance Israel....
Although some of these Jews might have committed these
crimes against Gentiles,
it was in their reasoning to make Justice to their people
and their cause and to get for their people a home, a country, their own
country, taking them out of their unfair sufferings and bringing them
the good life they thought they deserve...
It is what other groups do too, including the Italian Catholic mafia who often revendicates to be the good guys, after killing many in a butcher like manner... then just go to church to pray
and spoil their own family and social group with the financial outcome
of their theafts....
They still think they do this FOR A GOOD, they still see themselves as tough guys with a big heart for God!
You would ask like me...
WHY and HOW ON EARTH could such groups see themselves as the
GOOD GUY even the HERO with so much blood on their hands???
One of my replies is that it is unfortunately because we live in a MANS WORLD...
One of my replies is that it is unfortunately because immature tyrannical male primitive values have been too long ruling the world on their own
bullying spiritual feminine virtues in an oppressive silence and submission...
Wisdom is feminine in Hebrew and to the Greek wisdom is Sofia, a feminine expression...
Notice the three main religions are all based on a strong patriarchal
view point at times not even allowing WOMEN TO SPEAK...
It is only praise to the secular human rights legislation that women finally dared speaking and bringing an input to this world...
But there again unfortunately until now, only two groups of females were allowed in and taken seriously by males in charge...
1)The WHORE, young unexperienced only there to satisfy their sexual fantaisies...
is often the only type of female such senior males in leadership can relate to..
but they do mainly at the horizontal.. which does not bring much help to our
cause,
except from ruining marriages and bringing immorality to our world as
a model instead of virtue etc....we all know the results of such sexual addictions...porn, prostitution, human trafficking etc etc etc...
2)The woman who denies her feminity to become a MAN, speaking with a deep voice like a man, showing she can be a man, go to war like a man, be a boxer like a man
etc etc etc and this type of females usually despise other ones who remain feminine and believe in equality in complementarity...
At times men also listen to their mothers but they very rarely respect the wisdom of their own wives and very rarely treat her as the essential equal complementary partner bringing about true wisdom in their lives ....
Let us take a gentile example.... the one of the wife of Ponce Pilate... whos
wife told him, dont have anything to do with the murder of Jesus...
We can see that even in Roman times, women were also suppressed and not respected...
Friends, the point I am trying to make here is a terrible one...
and it is that each group has blood on their hands...
each group provoked the other one for unfair supremacy ...
each group used violence, crime etc for wrong reasons... greed, ambition etc
each group TRY TO JUSTIFY THEMSELVES BY THEIR GOOD INTENTIONS ...
Unfortunately as we know HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS...
What we need friends is not GOOD INTENTIONS BUT TRUE GODLY WISDOM!!!
I am working at a script about feminine wisdom or the feminine side of God...
I wish to try to help as much as I can...I am still carrying on my own enquiry about the real truth, the general media might have hidden from us... as it is our duty in any democraty to find the real truth...
In the process,
I will not forsake my Jewish people I love
I will not forsake my Christian people I love
I will not forsake my Gentile people I love
and I will not forsake my Muslim friends I love...
I will do it through my feminine free spirit humanitarian,
beleiving in Yeshua Messiah and the God of Israel,
way...I love as much catholics, Messianic Jews, protestants and evangelicals etc...
and refuse the partition of denominations in the Body of Christ...
I agree and disagree with many of their different arguments...
because I have my own feminine spiritual humanitarian multicultural
and unique way of seeing things...
Meanwhile, I just wish to ask you for your help to
STOP MORE WARS ...
LET US UNITE FOR PEACE NOW
LET US NOT ALLOW ANOTHER WAR IN SYRIA OR IN IRAN...
IN THE NAME OF UNIVERSAL LOVE
IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IN GOD AND
INTHE NAME OF THE HIGHEST GOOD
PLEASE UNITE TO STOP THE MASSACRE OF MORE INNOCENTS!
Let us support war victims... from each side...
Let us love each group back to peace...
Let us stretch our hands and pray even for the murderers...
We need first to help victims and save them but we also need to
go after the 99 sheep who lost his or her way to perdition...
Friends, come and join me, I am not asking for donations although
I need to buy the equipment for my first cinema film.. because I believe God will provide for me!
So dont give to anyone who pretends to be me...on the internet
I have written this pink on white on my website since there is a lot of
fraude going on and i am not a computer wizard so that I am not able to
check things well then dont send any money to anyone who could claim to be me...
However if you wish to help me in anyway, please be in touch directly with me
...
What matters most here friends is to save our planet, to protect
innocent victims from criminals ...
to save souls so they can know the true GOD OF LOVE!
Please dont be a stranger, write... lets unite to make a difference!
Love to all

Then...Real Peace will remain forever in Jerusalem!
Dear Friends,
I could not finish this blog without opening up an old wound...
Its not for me that I write but for everyone who suffered similar racism and for anyone who feels bad about being the unique precious individual God made him or her!
As being born in a Muslim country from a Jewish father and a Christian mother, I have never liked religions... since a little girl I percieved religions as being all about
ignorant fanatics stupidly fighting and killing each other in the name of the same GOD OF LOVE!!!
I actually rejoiced when I studied philosophy and human rights preparing my A levels and
thought I had finally found intelligent loving people to converse with!
However whislt in Paris, I had a personal revelation of Yeshua Messiah
who visited me personally in my small room.
I felt compelled to read the bible on my own because I did not trust any religious people.
It is only after three years that I felt lead to join some Christians
but I did not feel at home there and I went to a Jewish Messianic congregation.
God put a loving burning burden of prayer for Israel in my heart and many times lead me to go to Israel to help through voluntary work and through building loving bridges for peace etc...
I suffered racism from both Gentiles and Jews. Each group insulted me and humiliated me telling me I belonged to the other group.
I could forgive easily the gentiles because they did not know how it felt to be a Jew in the flesh... however it was most difficult to forgive the Jews, since after the holocaust and centuries of suffering from racism, they did know how it felt to be a Jew...
but they did not show any compassion to someone like me and were even more cruel in their rejection!
I noticed that in every western country abiding by a human rights legislation,
people,
whether they had only a mother or a father from their nation,
were granted full nationality without any comments about their other
origin or religion through their other parent,
respected and counted like one of them,
however Israel was the only country I found who discriminated against a child, simply because one of his parents was not Jewish!
I really disliked to be part of such racist and mean community, mainly that God had called me to go to a Bible school and I kept learning that the seed of Abraham had been blessed
and that it was through the fathers that Jewishness was passed on, however the ultra orthodox rabbies had decided the opposite, which to me was absurd and racist...
since to a God of love,
whether one has a father or a mother from a different origin, one should be immediately
adopted and loved as one of them by both racial groups!
I consequently suffered a very intense and painful identity crisis...
I prayed many times to God asking Him who in His eyes I was and why on earth would He give me such a spiritual care and burden for Israel and the Jewish people when they even did not consider me one of them?
I had inherited the French nationality from my mother side and now that I believed in Jesus, I could easily be considered as a christian and really not bother about a country where there was continually a raging war...
At that time God answered me clearly that in His eyes I was Jewish and that He was calling me to pray for Israel my real country.
I felt that I would not become a citizen although Israel grants to people like
me a kind of second class citizenship,
because as a non violent believer I did not agree in killing Palestinians,
but that I would remain a temporary resident
just to serve both groups and help peace.
I was influenced into applying for Alya anyhow for practical reasons
too long to explain here,
but I mentioned very clearly in the application form that I believed that anyone
who believes in the God of Israel like Abraham was a spiritual Jew anyhow and for this reason,
because I believed in the God of Israel and in Yeshua as being the
Messiah of Israel, I felt I was a spiritual Jew.
I was granted temporary residence and only stayed five years, where I served mainly in Arabic Israeli villages, teaching for free forsaken children etc and also caring as a spiritual counsellor for Jewish friends in pshycological pain..
Friends, what I still find very shocking in Israel is that they are not happy to put on the passport of anyone who becomes Israeli, just Israeli as all western countries do,
but they feel they must add your religion and even if you have no religion and your father is Jewish for instance but not your mother, they would put Christian but not Jewish!!!
They even have a special name for people born from an Arabic parent and a Jewish parent!!!!
I find Hitler quite compassionate comparing to such discriminatory philosophy totally contrary and opposed to human rights and free religious beliefs...
because at least Hitler executed in gaz chambers children from Jewish fathers alongside of children from Jewish mothers,
Hitler sent to concentration camps children from
Jewish fathers alongside children from Jewish mothers,
which proves that to him,
a child is so precious that he should never be separated from his mother or father and that he belonged equally to both races and cultures, in case of mixed marriages...
Sorry but my sense of black humour comes from my Jewish side....
This to me, shows more humanity and "grandeur d'ame" as the French say than
what some Israeli ultra orthodox rabbies have chosen to demonstrate,
by cutting a child in two and calling "IT" a half half or a BASTARD!!!!
Please see Wisdom of Salomon who seems to think the same thing as two women fight for the same child, he recognized the true mother in the one refusing to have the child cut in two pieces!!!
Mainly when you consider that the justification of the state of Israel is to shelter all the poor Jews who
suffered so much discrimination from the nasty gentiles...
Ask to the many Russian immigrants in Israel from just the father or grand father and you will have to spend a long time to hear them cry...
I was appraoched more than once by such tearful immigrants begging me to take them with me in a Christian country because they felt so rejected and unhappy in Israel....But this is even mild comparing to the Ethiopian Jews who had to get re-circumsided properly by these obsessive ultra fanatics rabbis...
The hypocrisy of the secular Israeli state resides in the fact that they are adopting ultra orthodox criteria for everything, including the discrimination of Jewish women and the definition of who is Jewish etc ....
whilst there are so many other Jewish religious groups more tuned to human rights and more compassionate in Israel....
How can a country pretend to be secular and then adopt the most extreme religious beliefs as a norm in their secular laws????
In spite of having such strong views against the racism in Israel, I still went
back and back to try to help and I am still praying for this country.
Why would I bother???
Friends, I bother because I am a responsible spiritual Jew and I have accepted the calling of God in my life.
It is not easy to be a responsible spiritual Jew and it was God who gave me a Jewish father. It was God who called me. God chooses who is Jewish not rabbies or any other human being!!!
Since very young, I had been persecuted by some gentiles because of my Jewish family name.
Whilst some friends with a Jewish mother and a French Gentile father for instance, just to quote the painful years I spent in France studying, were seen as French and were okay!!!
I have never never been seen as French by the French and I have often suffered from persecution! Its true that on my passeport, they just put French and not French from a Jewish father or half French half Jew... however in the real world some can still smell the ugly duckling who is not one of them...mainly that the only real French element in my family was my grand mother....
It also seems that some false Christians enjoy to hurt scape goats because they dont want to be seen as anti-semitic although they deeply are and they will take the first opportunity to vent their anger, envy and jalousy when no risk is involved to be caught...
These sorts of things cannot be forgotten or put aside...it makes a kind of
circumcision in your heart forever!
Unfortunately some Israeli Jews are very often extremely thick and totally insensitive to the suffering they cause to anyone who is not born from a Jewish mother...
Only THEIR suffering should be listened to and dearly compensated and paid for!
Only THEY are important because they feel so above the rest of us!
Even in Messianic circles, I have at times suffered grave humliations
from boastful egotistic Jews who saw themselves as THE ONLY REAL THING!!!
demonstrating they had not understood a minute the message of YESHUA MESSIAH they were preaching to others...
I believe that God cares for every individual exactly with the same love and
respect whatever their ethnical background, colour of their skin or gender!!!!
To me is a spiritual Jew anyone even with
no Jewish blood at all who believes in the God of Israel and Yeshua Messiah...
Friends, as explained, in the heavenly Jerusalem whatever your gender or your racial background, EACH ONE OF YOU WILL BE WELCOMED WITH WIDE OPENED ARMS
BY GOD OUR FATHER!
IN YESHUA MESSIAH THERE IS NO JEW NO GENTILE NO MALE NO FEMALE NO MASTER NO SLAVE etc etc...
I am rejoicing in a sense that I was born from a gentile mother,
because it taught me humility and compassion to others...
it helped me not to become arrogant or racist...
(since my mother was not a prostitute, as some racists Jews say that all gentile women are
prostitutes, by the way CHRISTIANS ARE NOT GENTILES BUT SPIRITUAL JEWS TOO,because they
believe in the GOD OF ISRAEL....
and was the legal wife, legally married to my father, so that I know my father is truly my father...
The former biblical interdiction to inter-marry was given for both men and women so that one could also probe the character/integrity of Jewish women who have children with gentiles....)
I believe that this is how a real spiritual Jew should be:
A humble servant loving anyone ,
inspiring anyone, to becoming an equal child of God,
an equal spiritual Jew too
and not to aggress and abuse others verbally and physically,
to make sure to keep this privilege just for themselves,
posing on a pedestal like an idol to be worshipped instead of God,
not forgetting to insist cashing in financial compensation, for granting such an honour!
God hates idols and idols worshippers!
However some people born from Jewish mothers believe the whole world
must stand back and worship them!
Stand back because they are too racist to mix with anyone but themselves
and the use of violence through the army is what they know best to win
respect...
I am sorry to say that friends, but although not born a Muslim...
the Muslims in Tunisia taught me what real respect meant...
I respect them because they are respectable and behaved in a respectable
manner...
We knew in Tunisia we were not Muslims mainly from the independance of Tunisia, however, we gently fitted in and everyone lived in harmony, Christians, Jews etc
I learnt about racism through incessant disputes between Christians and Jews in my own families...since birth.
I learnt about racism through coming to France and going to Israel!
I learnt hospitality and warmth through my Muslim friends!
I also felt a lot more love and acceptance in the UK!
Because I am not a Muslim, I unfortunately chose to leave Tunisia...
I thought it was not right to colonise their country and although
just thinking of Tunisia makes me cry even to this day, because I miss it so much,
I thought the delicate thing was to leave them between each other finally enjoying their country without privileged western colons to rule over them...
If I share these painful memories and wounds with you is to help all those who like me were lead to think they are "nothing" just because they are a melting pot...
It is also in the hope to help racists to change and grow up
It is also in the hope to help Israel, the country which I think
according to God's may be my real country at the return of Yeshua..
unless I am already in heaven which I would like best to be!
It is because I care for all and especially Israel! I also have met wonderful Jewish people everywhere who totally accepted me, including in Israel and I love them as much as the country. As I love all my good Christian friends everywhere in the world, including France...
However I feel that some in the Israeli government and amongst the ultra fanatics are still leading their country in a wrong direction and I hope with all my heart to see one day, occuring the good changes leading to true peace in Jerusalem!
I know it might sound a bit bold, but I have sometimes felt as if God
wanted me to initiate a new spiritual movement above religions...
in Yeshua ... and if you feel that way, please write to me, whatever your
origin, you will be welcome, as long as coming with a genuine peaceful
and loving heart, and we can start praying about all that together!
Let us not fight to know who could be seen as born the most physically "Jewish", black or white or else!!!
This is not what's important brothers and sisters... we all will die one day and leave this physical body...
However our soul and spirit will remain and what's important is who we are inside spiritually!!!
I wish here to ask for forgiveness to all my Muslim brothers and sisters,
from the Jewish side of me, for all the bad treatements Israel
made them suffer from since they arrived in Palestine.
We have the same Father Abraham and should always treat each other
as brothers and sisters not ennemies!!!
Actually my father who was Jewish from father and mother for many
generations, lived and died in Tunisia, a country he always deeply loved,
he worked for the good of Tunisia since very young, he actually created
the first battery factory there and many other public works such as roads, airports etc...
He considered Tunisia as HIS COUNTRY since he
also had Tunisian nationality and never wished to change....
He never wished to go to Israel...because he did not respect the arrogance/
racism some other Jews were displaying against the Muslims and the rest
of the world... In that, I can say that I am truly his daughter!
Let us pray for the peace of Jerusalem but let us not forget to pray for the
peace of PALESTINE, IRAN, IRAQ, SYRIA and all our Muslim brothers and sisters too!
So they will also be included in the peace and joy in the Holy Land
when Yeshua will come back!
Then and only then....
REAL PEACE WILL REMAIN FOREVER IN JERUSALEM!
Love and peace to all!

Universal peace and love will only be found in ending discrimination against race and gender!
Dear Friends,
I wish to talk about the slavery women are still suffering in the main religions including the extreme fanatical branches of the Jewish orthodox one!
Sadly men in black who are trying to bring back humanity at a prehistoric age,
who dont have a clue about who God really is and are totally hermetic to real spiritual laws they never could assimilate in thousands of years,
feel that they are allowed to kick, beat up, bully all living souls around them
and mainly their poor females counterparts...
starting with their own poor wives who they
make pregnant continually like primitive machines, use as maids, slaves to satisfy their daily needs of all sorts, cruelly beat up regularly and
on top send to work to pay for their living expenses.
Let us add that they are cowards refusing to go in the army and refusing to work to provide for their wives and children, as God intended,
instead they are now sending their wives to work for them, in the name of
THEIR own distorted God, THEY CREATED IN THEIR SICK REVOLTING IMAGE.
Their excuse is to keep on studying in a distorted sickening way what they lure themselves is the word of God!
The results of their schorlaship is what is obvious to all!!!
Mental illness, violence, screams, confusion, arguments, hatred, racial and gender segregation, a butcher like nazi philosophy of discrimination,
concerning all those who are not like them, including those born Jewish too... etc etc
All these are precisely the bad fruits of the flesh the Bible is condemning as for being the fruits of evil and the reason
why Yeshua Messiah died for us to give us the grace to die
to these horrid evil fruits so we can
invite His pure gentle nature within us bearing good spiritual fruits :
Joy, gentleness, GRACE, universal love, universal justice, universal equality, peace etc etc etc
We must pray for the brave Palestinians in the West Banks, because the Israeli governement is sending there all these wierdoes in black, to live next to them, to poison they everyday lives because the Israeli Jews in all Israel cant stand them themselves...
As you see in videos above, they traumatise young children in the street,
they pratice gender and racial segregation in busses, they go and torment people screaming at the top of their voices insults in front of their homes because they dont agree with something they said or did, spitting on them,
they throw stones at cars, they burn the Israeli flag etc etc etc
Really many of my Arabic Palestinian friends living in Israel
and around, must be Saints because they still pray for Israel and
show great kindness even under such INCOHERENT persecution!
Our Isreali neighbour who keeps persecuting us in the Uk told me I should not do anything without asking the authorization of my husband, not even speak...also he insulted me for no reason at all after telling me he found me pretty in a very inappropriate manner, then he told me that some of his Jewish orthodox friends would not even talk to me just because I am a woman!!!He sent me some pornographic emails and at the same time, insisted we should sign petitions demanding the world to compensate Israel for the damage they say was caused to them by Hamas... etc etc...Not forgetting to say that he claims to be a great doctor of the soul!!!
The results is that after complaining to the local police,
we have been advised not to go in our own home anymore to remain safe!!!
As you can imagine this costs us a lot but peace has no price for us!
Friends, as beleivers in a God of love,
we are supposed to bring the good perfume of Yeshua which is the true love
of God to ALL WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION,
however such individuals bring the stinch of the devil wherever they are!!!
You might say it is because they are Jewish and I will say, dont be quick to be racist.
Unfortunately this exists in all religions, including Christianity and Islam that such fanatics are reducing God to a murderer like themseleves because they are stubborn, arrogant and devious and refuse to allow the Holy Spirit to teach them properly...
This happens when a group of people wishes to maintain what they see as the fleshy human privileges of their group to oppress others and get earthly advantages from their high and mighty pedestal position!
Unfortunately too long, male tyrannical primitive immature values have been ruling our world without opposition, hence the cahotic situation of our planet and it is vital to rebalance our universe to save our planet in danger, by allowing and even inviting spiritual feminine virtues to rule in an equal manner besides good male values!!!!
What can we do?
Please dont persecute them and dont use the same dark weapons they use, since it would only lower you to their evil level...
Lets pray for them, friends because no argument rational or irrational, no
spiritual weapon of light can win them! They made sure to lock their hearts
and the best is to leave them alone and pray for them!
I just wish to remind you the long suffering nature of true unconditional love
in Yeshua Messiah...
1 Corinthians 13
1 Corinthians 13
New International Version (NIV)
"13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

JERUSALEM WILL ONLY FIND PEACE THROUGH WELCOMING MESSIAH!
Dear Friends,
I hope the nice weather is helping you to keep joyfull and fit!
Maybe because I was born in Tunisia a hot country, I miss and I love very much...
Maybe because I was born in summertime,
I personally enjoy best warm sunny weather and feel more blossomed at this time of the year!
However, I am still browsing on the internet and especially youtube where I see lots of conspiracy videos... Some say the true conspirators are the Pope in Rome or the Zionists in Israel or some rich western aristocrats or some secret sects operating in our shadow, or even alien demons who have been taking charge of our planet infiltrating our governments...etc etc
Well, some of these could be true or even all together, but I would rather focus on Source God Universal love and light divine to find the real truth...
Even if all of these would be real, the truth in Yeshua Massiah is stronger and more powerful to defeat any ennemy within or behind ...
The real solution is spiritual as the real cause and only spiritual weapons of light would work out!
For this reason, I wish to share about another hot country I have been visiting many times in my life and I still pray for and also love.
It is Israel and as psalm 122 tells us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem,
I wish to share a very sad but very enlightening experience my dear husband and I, suffered the last time I was there, which only confirmed to my spirit, that Jerusalem will only find real peace through Welcoming Massiah!
I kept silent about this for many years, since I dont like to react because of
anger or any emotion but to act in peace and in love (although my beloved
husband Peter John Levi, wrote about it in his biography section of the
Artist studio on our website ).
Also this was much too painful and still is..
my heart is still aching as I am writing this today!
I started writing a book called THE FRUITS OF EVIL, which will explain all this further as well as the revelation my Lord Jesus gave me through this devastating experience.
Since young, I gave my life to God and Yeshua Massiah. I went to Israel very young because I studied about the love of God for His people and His country.
I kissed the ground arriving the first time in the Holy Land and because of a mishapp with my plane,
I found myself sleeping on the floor in a Yeshiva the first night of my coming,
where I was kindly offered hospitality because I was lost in the old city of Jerusalem at night during a corfew!
God has put a great burden and love for Israel in my heart.
I wish here to make a difference between earthly zionism and spiritual zionism.
My way of understanding the bible is that anyone from any ethnical background
who believes in the God of the spiritual Israel is in a sense a spiritual Jew or Zionist.
My understanding is also that the true accomplishment of the spiritual zionism
is in Yeshua Massiah and not in an earthly corrupted human government.
My understanding is that in Yeshua, there is no Jew no Gentile, no male no female,
no slave no master etc but we are all equal children of God!
So that we are all called to live together in peace in the HEAVENLY JERUSALEM!
In this light, a few years ago, I had written a comedy script called
"I am here to save the world!" and wanted to make a film about peace in the Middle East, and especially in Israel.
My husband and I are involved in spiritual humanitarian artistic work and
me especially in a feminine spiritual vision to balance good male values
in our universe with feminine spiritual virtues.
We were lead to go to Israel and were influenced to do our projects there.
However we found ourselves trapped as soon as we arrived by
local gangsters and it took us years of grief to recover our artistic humanitarian goods.
We were robbed a lot of money during this incident and we lost years of income because it affected our health and we could not work or function properly and we are still suffering harsh consequences from this trauma.
A french court awarded us some financial
compensation but the Isrealis refused to honour it.
Unfortunately, instead of getting any compensation,
we are also being persecuted by an Israeli neighbour
who lives in the UK, since the incident and he keeps causing us financial loss and continual grief to this day.
As some say, "There is no good action which remains unpunished!"
Some people definitely do not wish peace and do not wish Universal love to rule our planet!
What they wish instead is to dominate others, steal their money and anything else to satisfy their greed, even if this includes using others
as slaves for them and their group to keep enjoying all the privileges
they believe they deserve at the expanse of all of us!
I wish to tell you here that real spiritual Jews do not think or behave this way!
Many of my Jewish friends are good and honest people and they would never rob or commit any crime as they understood the SPIRITUAL LAWS OF GOD!
Whilst Moses was getting the 10 commandments engraved by God Himself,
some of his followers were worshipping the golden calf, dancing in wild
orgies and this seems to still carry on... as there is a total opposition
between the earthly Adam and the spiritual one...
I must say here that those who behave that way should not even been seen as Jews AT ALL!!! Never mind if they were born physically ethnically Jewish...
the Bible is not about physical and human but the BIBLE IS ABOUT SPIRITUAL AND GODLY!
All the fruits of evil come from a wrong interpretation of the Bible in the first place! People who think they deserve anything because of their physical ethnical background have totally misread the Bible!!!!
Abraham, our father in faith, was justified by God and chosen by God, because
HE BELIEVED IN THE GOD OF THE SPIRITUAL ISRAEL!
Not because HE WAS BORN A JEW...Jewishness DID NOT EXIST THEN!
For this reason, I reiterate along with many Jewish Rabbies that the state of Israel which is secular is not to be seen as the real Spiritual Israel ....
as a majority of Jewish Israelis who are atheists...
are not to be considered as spiritual real Jews!
Because one can only be considered as a spiritual real Jew when one trustsand obeys the God of spiritual Israel!
Where I am now taking a different road from many Jewish Rabbies is that
I personally add and believe like many Messianic Jewish brothers and sisters,
that Yeshua is the Massiah and that
one can only find accomplishment as a spiritual Jew through Massiah!
To come back to our personal example, the Israelis we dealt with knew
we were genuine people and not terrorists... They knew we are from a
physical Jewish background ourselves... They knew we came with love with all of our heart to pray and work for the peace of Jerusalem!
However, Israeli gangsters had such a strong position that they managed to ruin and get our project cancelled because, we were told by some Jewish Israelis, that there is a mafia who is an underworld running the country!!!!
What does crime has to do with the God of Israel????
And How is it that the Israeli governement could tolerate such corruption in
what is called the HOLY LAND???
Friends, the answer to these questions is that unfortunately there is no heaven on earth unless Massiah comes into our hearts to deliver us from the corruption of sins...
As an Israeli Messianic Jewish friend, told me,
some of these Jews are in the Holy Land but what difference does this makes
if they live and die in their sins????
This is a total absurdity and incoherence...
This human sinful secular war machine that Israel became has nothing to do
with the real SPIRITUAL ISRAEL OF GOD, I reassure you!
God will never lead a war against innocents to kill them and rob their homes.
By the way even Messianic Jews, who are Jewish
believers in Yeshua are severly persecuted in Israel,
as an example, a young jewish boy believing in Yeshua Massiah, received
what he thought to be a birthday present through the post, which happened
to be a bomb which blinded him!!! This incident was revendicated by Jewish Israeli terrorists... not Muslim ones...
as well as some churches of Christians financially supporting Israel
are sometimes even burnt by Jewish Israeli fanatics...We never hear about such incidents in the western media!
All this occurs because some wish to delude themselves and refuse to GROW UP SPIRITUALLY!!!
Yeshua explained that the vindicative image of God given by the old testament in the Bible,
was only a learning phase for a child...to becoming an adult...
Allowing primitive human wars, God, patiently leading,
enduring human wrong doings, as a pedagogue and teacher, because of the
harshness of their hearts and their ignorance!!! was only aiming to bring HIS CHILD to
real SPIRITUAL MATURITY through Yeshua Massiah, revealing HIS TRUE HEART
OF UNIVERSAL GRACE, LOVE, JUSTICE, EQUALITY, PEACE FOR ALL ETC ETC ETC!!!
Now God has reavealed His true heart of GRACE AND LOVE to all through Yeshua Massiah!
Its clear that God is love, the one taking the sword will perish by the sword...
it is not about human or evil weapons but about spiritual war and spiritual
weapons of love and light!!!
So that now, we know the way!!!
Hence, those who persevere in ignorance and wrong doing are then building up for themselves unforgivable sins....for judgement day...
The only unforgivable sin is the sin against the HOLY SPIRIT!!!
To say that God is love and to persevere acting with PURE HATRED IN THE NAME OF GOD
IS AN UNFORGIVABLE SIN!!!GOD IS NOT A CRIMINAL!!!
Friends, this is not only unfortunately the mistake of some fanatic Israelis,
it is very common for all fanatic religious people even in Islam or Christianity etc
Let us not take these sins as an excuse to practice anti-semitism...
Let us not forget that Jesus was Jewish and God has chosen to serve us
and teach us through Jewish prophets ... to bring us to spiritual maturity!
I will differ as well from these religious males in charge,
who are insisting to keep women in submission
to the tyrannical male ego to justify using them as slaves...
It is in no way biblical when we can read that God said His spiritual promises were
for the FREE WOMAN and not the SLAVE!
However in the main religions some male tyrants have chosen to impose an unbiblical
pathriarcal TRADITION instead of humbly accepting the wise teaching of Yeshua!
You will ask me then, what can we do?
Friends, the first thing we must do is to renounce our human war weapons and our human barbaric primitive violent male tyrannical traditions...and stop giving in demonic vices and addictions in our lives...
WE must look for wisdom through the Holy Spirit who is feminine in Hebrew...
We must take all the spiritual weapons of love and light to win this
war against demons and humans following these evil spirits...
WE need to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for those who treat us
like ennemies because it shows their spiritual immaturity!!!
The aggressive earthly zionists show they did not understant ANYTHING about God's promises
and the SPIRITUAL ISRAEL!
Many honest Jews as we can see in the videos above, agree that God would never never ask His people to go and kill innocents or robb their homes....
I personally believe that God gave the HOLY LAND TO ALL OF US HIS TRUE CHILDREN WHO ARE SPIRITUALLY
MATURE whatever our ethnical background!!!
One day when Yeshua our Massiah will come back, He will order his angels
to kick out for judgment day all the criminals who took hold of the HOly Land
and invite all his true friends to rule with HIM to bring peace, love, honor
to the nations and not to use them as despised slaves!
God called Israel to be HIS SERVANT!
Its up to the MATURE SPIRITUAL JEW TO
SERVE THE GOY TO TEACH THE GOY TO BECOME A CHILD OF GOD TOO AND NOT TO
DESPISE AND USE THE GOY TO GET SOMETHING VICIOUS IN RETURN LIKE MONEY OR ANYTHING
VILE IN THE EYES OF GOD!!!JESHUA SAID THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE THAN TO GIVE
YOUR LIFE FOR OTHERS...Freely receive and freely give!!!!
God through Elisha, his true Jewish servant,
has punished severly Gehazi for taking a BRIBE in MONEY following Elisha
praying for the healing of A commander of A FOREIGN KING, called Naaman !!!
Here, Elisha, true spiritual Jew behaves as a servant towards a foreign king which could have been considered as an ennemy of Israel...He freely gives as a true servant of God!
This is what is called SPIRITUAL MATURITY: teaching others, loving them and leading them to spiritual maturity too !!!
To lose an ennemy according to spiritual maturity is to win a friend!
PLEASE READ THIS BIBLICAL CHAPTER i COPIED FOR YOU
2 Kings 5
New International Version (NIV)
Naaman Healed of Leprosy
5 Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the Lord had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy.[a]
2 Now bands of raiders from Aram had gone out and had taken captive a young girl from Israel, and she served Naaman’s wife. 3 She said to her mistress, “If only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.”
4 Naaman went to his master and told him what the girl from Israel had said. 5 “By all means, go,” the king of Aram replied. “I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So Naaman left, taking with him ten talents[b] of silver, six thousand shekels[c] of gold and ten sets of clothing. 6 The letter that he took to the king of Israel read: “With this letter I am sending my servant Naaman to you so that you may cure him of his leprosy.”
7 As soon as the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his robes and said, “Am I God? Can I kill and bring back to life? Why does this fellow send someone to me to be cured of his leprosy? See how he is trying to pick a quarrel with me!”
8 When Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his robes, he sent him this message: “Why have you torn your robes? Have the man come to me and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel.” 9 So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and stopped at the door of Elisha’s house. 10 Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, “Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed.”
11 But Naaman went away angry and said, “I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them and be cleansed?” So he turned and went off in a rage.
13 Naaman’s servants went to him and said, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, ‘Wash and be cleansed’!” 14 So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy.
15 Then Naaman and all his attendants went back to the man of God. He stood before him and said, “Now I know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel. So please accept a gift from your servant.”
16 The prophet answered, “As surely as the Lord lives, whom I serve, I will not accept a thing.” And even though Naaman urged him, he refused.
17 “If you will not,” said Naaman, “please let me, your servant, be given as much earth as a pair of mules can carry, for your servant will never again make burnt offerings and sacrifices to any other god but the Lord. 18 But may the Lord forgive your servant for this one thing: When my master enters the temple of Rimmon to bow down and he is leaning on my arm and I have to bow there also—when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the Lord forgive your servant for this.”
19 “Go in peace,” Elisha said.
After Naaman had traveled some distance, 20 Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said to himself, “My master was too easy on Naaman, this Aramean, by not accepting from him what he brought. As surely as the Lord lives, I will run after him and get something from him.”
21 So Gehazi hurried after Naaman. When Naaman saw him running toward him, he got down from the chariot to meet him. “Is everything all right?” he asked.
22 “Everything is all right,” Gehazi answered. “My master sent me to say, ‘Two young men from the company of the prophets have just come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent[d] of silver and two sets of clothing.’”
23 “By all means, take two talents,” said Naaman. He urged Gehazi to accept them, and then tied up the two talents of silver in two bags, with two sets of clothing. He gave them to two of his servants, and they carried them ahead of Gehazi. 24 When Gehazi came to the hill, he took the things from the servants and put them away in the house. He sent the men away and they left.
25 When he went in and stood before his master, Elisha asked him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?”
“Your servant didn’t go anywhere,” Gehazi answered.
26 But Elisha said to him, “Was not my spirit with you when the man got down from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to take money or to accept clothes—or olive groves and vineyards, or flocks and herds, or male and female slaves? 27 Naaman’s leprosy will cling to you and to your descendants forever.” Then Gehazi went from Elisha’s presence and his skin was leprous—it had become as white as snow.
THE REAL JEW FEELS PRIVILEGED AND HONOURED TO BE THE SERVANT OF GOD TO SERVE HIS HUMAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND LOVE THEM TO SPIRITUAL SALVATION AND MATURITY!!!!
But the immature FALSE JEW is all about human pride, boast, greed, lust and crime!
Because HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE WAYS OF GOD!!!
Our duty is to pray to lead to maturity the spiritual immature, preparing so
the return of our Massiah who is the ONLY ONE QUALIFIED TO RULE OVER ISRAEL!
Then and only then, will I be proud to be a spiritual Jew and will I return to Israel!
But right now friends, we are all in exil, we are all mourning for a
SPIRITUAL HOME WHICH IS IN HEAVEN and only in HEAVEN!!!
Our message is stop fighting for a piece of land in the name of God!
If God wants to give it to you, HE WILL!
Yes HE CAN! NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GOD!
IF YOU OBEY GOD, SERVE HIM, grow spiritually AND DO GOOD,
His angels will give it to you! and even those you see as your ennemies
WILL INVITE YOU TO COME IN!
I myself lived and did voluntary works many years in Israel in the past,
and I stayed in Arabic areas, inviting Jewish and Arabic friends to eat
at the same table...
I found a lot of love in some of my Arabic friends, as some of them told me
they had been happy to see Jewish people coming back in the land... although
many Jewish people had ALREADY BEEN LIVING IN THE LAND WITH THEM PEACEFULLY
FOR CENTURIES BEFORE THE STATE OF ISRAEL INITIATED WARS...
But they were very hurt and disappointed that they were chased and treated as second class citizens...
I was born in Tunisia amongst Muslims.. where my father, grand father, grand grand father were born too etc
They always treated my family very well...
I just wish to leave you here with a question
How come so many honest Jews lived in peace in Muslim countries and keep
Muslims as lifelong friends even when they immigrate in the Western World whilst Israel is only about warssssss???and not only against Muslims but against everybody!!!
Even their own people!!!!
The Jewish Israelis who robbed us were also reported by Israeli newspapers
as having chronically robbed Jewish Israelis in the same way...
I must then conclude that surely the real and worse ennemy of Israel is
WITHIN! and we are all suffering from it as a consequence!
I am only saying this because I love Israel and many times I wished to give
my life to save them but like the apostle PAUL SAYS IN ROMANS 10/11...
I believe now that there is not much point in trying anything else than
PRAYER!!!
I am copying for you Roman 10/11 following
which corresponds to my personal feeling towards the physical Israel,
praying that God will finally open the eyes of the ones who misunderstood
their spiritual calling to the point of ending up becoming criminals
in the name of God, before its too late for them to repent!
Friends, do not imitate those who persecute you in a primitive
violent manner, whatever their religion is,
Jewish, Muslim or Christian etc....
But instead imitate the God of love and Justice/UNIVERSAL LOVE and
work for peace as much as it is up to you whatever your religion, philosophy, or
whether you are atheist or agnostic!
Much love to all,
sister lucy
Romans 10
New International Version (NIV)
10 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 4 Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”[a] 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”[b] (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’”[c] (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”[d] that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[e] 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”[f]
14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”[g]
16 But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”[h] 17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. 18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did:
“Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.”[i]
19 Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,
“I will make you envious by those who are not a nation;
I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”[j]
20 And Isaiah boldly says,
“I was found by those who did not seek me;
I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.”[k]
21 But concerning Israel he says,
“All day long I have held out my hands
to a disobedient and obstinate people.”[l]
Romans 11
New International Version (NIV)
The Remnant of Israel
11 I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel: 3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”[a]? 4 And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”[b] 5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. 6 And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
7 What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did, but the others were hardened, 8 as it is written:
“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that could not see
and ears that could not hear,
to this very day.”[c]
9 And David says:
“May their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,
and their backs be bent forever.”[d]
Ingrafted Branches
11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. 12 But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring!
13 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry 14 in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. 15 For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? 16 If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
22 Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
All Israel Will Be Saved
25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, 26 and in this way[e] all Israel will be saved. As it is written:
“The deliverer will come from Zion;
he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
27 And this is[f] my covenant with them
when I take away their sins.”[g]
28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, 29 for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable. 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now[h] receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you. 32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
Doxology
33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and[i] knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?”[j]
35 “Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay them?”[k]
36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.
