Good evening brothers & sisters!
I haven't been active here in a long time so I'd like to RE-introduce myself to all of you. :)
My name is Gabrielle, as an artist I go by GABY GRACE and create epic vocal orchestral music which honors Our Creator.
As far as I can remember, I have always wanted to make music and sing. When I became a believer over 10 years ago, it took a completely new meaning, as my earnest desire was - and still is - to edify & empower my fellow brothers & sisters, while ALSO being able to reach the lost, through music.
I released my first-ever EP on Nov. 26 2021, titled "Heaven On Earth".
Now I am working on the first single of my next EP, which will be titled "INVISIBLE WAR". Let me tell y'all... This song is just SO powerful and relevant for THESE DAYS, and people NEED to hear it!
On the other hand - making music costs money and as an independent artist, I don't make anything extravagant. (If anything, I probably just pay off what I invested into it haha!)
I am not here to beg, I hate that.
I just want to share this fundraising goal with you tho, so that IF you feel led to, if you've heard my music, have been touched by it, and would love for me to be able to create more, any small donation will help tremendously, and I am beyond thankful for any/all the support I receive. <3
You can go to www.ko-fi.com/gabygrace to contribute to my next project.
BONUS: EVERYONE who donates to the making of this single will get a free download of the song once it releases!
If you are new to my music, I hope you will take the time to have a listen, you can find me as Gaby Grace on Youtube/Facebook/Instagram, and you can also get my music on my website: www.gabygracemusic.com
Please also feel free to share my songs with your loved ones whom you believe will be blessed by them.
"I hear the sound of heaven on earth
I hear the sound of Your call
All that is here is ready to disappear
And I am a pilgrim on a journey to eternity..."
(Heaven On Earth - Gaby Grace)
May YAHUAH bless you & keep you, brothers & sisters. <3
Thought for Today: Thursday October 20:
Go gently through this day and keep your eyes focused on YHVH Elohiym. Trust in Him and He will open the way before you, as you go through this day. Sometimes, the way before us appears to be blocked. If we focus on the obstacles or search for a way around it, we will probably go off course. Instead, focus on Yeshua, the Shepherd Who is leading us along our life journeys. Before we know it, the [obstacles] will be behind us and we will hardly know how we passed through it. That is the secret of success in YHVH’s Kingdom. Although we remain aware of the visible world around us, our primary awareness is of Elohiym. When the road before us looks rocky, we can trust YHVH to get us through those rough patches. His Presence enables us to face each day with confidence.
I have a ton of respect for Pastor Mike Winger, but everyone has theological blind spots. Psalm 119 Ministries addresses one of his blind spots in this excellent video from back in 2019...

As the pro-Torah (aka Messianic, Hebrew Roots, Pronomian, etc.) movement grows, the counter movement is also growing. In this video series, Tony Pino tackles many of the most common antinomian arguments among Christian teachers...

REPENTANCE – PART 2
Let Us Take A Look At Some Verses:
What Is Repentance?
Matthew 3:1-3: [Turn from your sins and turn to YHVH.] Repentance means being sorry for sin and being committed to a new way of life serving YHVH. Luke 19:8: [Zacchaeus… said to Adonai: …if I have overcharged people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!] Repentance is made complete by changed behaviour. Exodus 9:27-34: [When Pharaoh saw this, he and his officials sinned yet again by stubbornly refusing to do as they had promised.] Repentance that produces no lasting change is insincere.
Why Does YHVH Wants Us To Repent?
Leviticus 26:40-42: [At last My people will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors for betraying Me and being hostile toward Me.] All of us need to repent because we have betrayed YHVH with our sins. 2 Chronicles 30:9: [Adonai your YHVH is gracious and merciful. If you return to Him, He will not continue to turn His Face from you.] Repentance is necessary for an ongoing relationship with YHVH. 1 Samuel 7:3: [Samuel said to all the people of Israel: If you are really serious about wanting to return to Adonai, get rid of your foreign YHVHs. [Determine to obey only Adonai; then He will rescue you.] We must turn away from all other gods in order to worship the One True Elohiym. Proverbs 28:13: [People who cover over their sins will not prosper. But if they confess and forsake them, they will receive mercy. Isaiah 55:7: [Let the people turn from their wicked deeds. Let them banish from their minds the very thought of doing wrong! Let them turn to Adonai that He may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our YHVH, for He will abundantly pardon.] Jeremiah 3:12: [Therefore, go and say these words to Israel: This is what Adonai says: O Israel, My faithless people, come home to Me again, for I am merciful. I will not be angry with you forever.] Repentance is necessary to receive YHVH’s mercy. Ezekiel 18:30-32: [Therefore, I will judge each of you, O people of Israel, according to your actions, says the Sovereign Adonai. Turn from your sins! Do not let them destroy you! Put all your rebellion behind you, and get for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O people of Israel? I do not want you to die, says the Sovereign Adonai. Turn back and live!] Ezekiel 33:11: [As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Adonai, I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people. I only want them to turn from their wicked ways so they can live. Turn! Turn from your wickedness, O people of Israel! Why should you die?] Repentance is the key to having new life from YHVH. Matthew 3:2: [Turn from your sins and turn to YHVH, because the Kingdom of Heaven is near.] Luke 24:47: [There is forgiveness of sins for all who turn to Me.] Acts 2:37-38: [Peter’s words convicted them deeply, and they said to him and to the other apostles: Brothers, what should we do? Peter replied: Each of you must turn from your sins and turn to YHVH, and be baptized in the Name of Yeshua Moshiach for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of Ruach HaKodesh.] Forgiveness of sins and entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven is only for those who have turned away from their sins and turned to YHVH. Acts 3:19: [Turn from your sins and turn to YHVH, so you can be cleansed of your sins.] Forgiveness of sins and the Kingdom of Heaven are only for those who have turned away from their sins and turned to YHVH.] Matthew 11:20-24: [Then Yeshua began to denounce the cities where He had done most of His miracles, because they had not turned from their sins and turned to YHVH. …You people of Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No, you will be brought down to the place of the dead.] Refusal to turn away from our sins will bring YHVH’s judgment.
Why Is Repentance Necessary?
Ezekiel 33:10-16: [The good works of righteous people will not save them if they turn to sin, nor will the sins of evil people destroy them if they repent and turn from their sins.] Repentance leads to forgiveness of sin. Jeremiah 5:3: [They are determined, with faces set like stone; they have refused to repent.] The unrepentant heart rejects YHVH and remains in sin’s grasp. Luke 13:1-8: [You will also perish unless you turn from your evil ways and turn to YHVH.] Yeshua taught that without repentance we face judgment. Luke 15:10: [There is joy in the presence of YHVH’s angels when even one sinner repents.] All heaven rejoices when one sinner repents.
Is Repentance A One-Time Event? Or Do We Need To Repent Every Time We Sin?
Psalm 51:16-17: [The sacrifice You want is a broken spirit. A broken and repentant heart, O YHVH, You will not despise.] While salvation is a one-time event, YHVH is pleased by broken and contrite hearts willing to confess and repent of sin. 1 John 1:8-9: [If we say we have no sin, we are… refusing to accept the truth. But if we confess our sins to Him.] Confession and repentance of sin is a constant mark of the person walking in the Light of fellowship with YHVH.
REPENTANCE – PART 1
Have you ever had the experience of driving in a strange city and suddenly realizing you were going the wrong way on a one-way street? What you do next is very much like the biblical idea of repentance. You make a U-turn and change your direction as fast as you can. Repentance is motivated by the realization that you have taken the wrong way in life. Repentance is made complete when you admit your sin and make a commitment, with YHVH’s help, to change your life’s direction. Repentance is literally a change of mind, not about individual plans, intentions, or beliefs, but rather a change in one’s attitude about YHVH. Such repentance accompanies saving faith in Moshiach -- Acts 20:21. It is inconsistent and unintelligible to suppose that anyone could believe in Moshiach yet not repent. Repentance is such an important aspect of conversion that it is often stressed, as when Moshiach said that there is joy in heaven among the angels over one sinner who repents -- Luke 15:7. The apostles described the conversion of the Gentiles to Moshiach as YHVH granting them [repentance unto life] -- Acts 11:18. Repentance and faith in Moshiach are in fact inseparable, though a convert may be aware of one aspect more than another. Such penitence is not an isolated act but a disposition of the mind, providing a spur for behaviour that accords with YHVH’s declared will. Recognition of daily sins and shortcomings provides the occasion for renewed acts of penitence and for fresh exercises of faith in Moshiach. One of the deepest and most noteworthy expressions of such penitence is David’s account of his adultery with Bathsheba -- Psalm 51. Whole churches, gatherings and social media are, on occasion, called to repent -- Revelation 2:5. 2 Corinthians 7 contains an interesting and full description of such corporate repentance involving the elements of sorrow for sin and a determined resolve to forsake old sinful ways and to behave properly. While repentance is often accompanied by deep feelings, it is not equivalent to such feelings but is rooted in convictions about the sinner’s own need before a holy YHVH. Both John the Baptist -- Matthew 3:2; Mark 1:4 and Moshiach -- Mark 1:15 were preachers of repentance, calling not the righteous but sinners to repent. And in accordance with the Great Commission -- Luke 24:44-49, the apostles continued the same kind of preaching -- beginning with Peter’s preaching on ***Shavuot***. -- Acts 2.
{***In Hebrew, the day is called Shavuot [rhymes with -- a blue oat], meaning [weeks] -- and so it is known as the Feast of Weeks. Pentecost comes from the Greek word for [fifty] since it occurs fifty days after the preceding holiday, Passover.***}
Why Is Repentance Essential To A Spiritual Life?
Repentance Opens The Way For Relationship With YHVH Elohiym:
[Here is a sample of John’s preaching to the crowds that came for baptism: [You brood of snakes! Who warned you to flee YHVH’s coming judgment? Prove by the way you live that you have really turned from your sins and turned to YHVH. Do not just say: We are safe – we are the descendants of Abraham. That proves nothing. YHVH can change these stones here into children of Abraham.] -- Luke 3:7-8. Repentance has two sides-turning away from sins and turning toward YHVH. To be truly repentant, we must do both. We can’t just say that we believe and then live any way we choose; neither can we simply live a morally correct life without a personal relationship with YHVH, because that cannot bring forgiveness from sin. Determine to rid your life of any sins YHVH points out, and put your trust in him alone to guide you.
Repentance Demonstrates Real Faith:
Confession of sins and a changed life are inseparable. Faith without deeds is dead -- James 2:14-26. Yeshua’ harshest Words were to the respectable religious leaders who lacked the desire for real change. They wanted to be known as religious authorities, but they did not want to change their hearts and minds. Thus, their lives were unproductive. Repentance must be tied to action, or it is not real. Following Yeshua means more than saying the right words; it means acting on what He says.
Repentance Makes Inward Change A Visible Reality:
[In those days John the Baptist began preaching in the Judean wilderness. His message was: Turn from your sins and turn to YHVH, because the Kingdom of Heaven is near.] -- Matthew 3:1-2. When you wash dirty hands, the results are immediately visible. But repentance happens inside with a cleansing that is not seen right away. So, John used a symbolic action that people could see: baptism. The Jews used baptism to initiate converts, so John’s audience was familiar with the rite. Here, baptism was used as a sign of repentance and forgiveness. Repent means [to turn,] implying a change in behaviour. It is turning from sin toward YHVH. Have you repented of sin in your life? Can others see the difference it makes in you? A changed life with new and different behaviour makes your repentance real and visible.
Repentance Breaks Our Bondage To Sin:
[The leading priests decided to kill Lazarus too, for it was because of him that many of the people had deserted them and believed in Yeshua.] -- John 12:10-11. The chief priests’ blindness and hardness of heart caused them to sink ever deeper into sin. They rejected the Messiah and planned to kill Him, and then plotted to murder Lazarus as well. One sin leads to another. From the Jewish leaders’ point of view, they could accuse Yeshua of blasphemy because He claimed equality with YHVH. But Lazarus had done nothing of the kind. They wanted Lazarus dead simply because he was a living witness to Yeshua’ Power. This is a warning to us to avoid sin. Sin leads to more sin, and this downward spiral can be stopped only by repentance and the Power of Ruach HaKodesh to change behaviour.
Shalom Mishpocha … I’m not a songwriter but I love to sing and play my AutoHarp and 12 String Guitar. My hubby plays lead guitar and backup vocals.
