I sensed the following word in my spirit on 27/10/2014 and posted it on facebook.
A Message for those who desire to serve The FATHER and SON in Spirit and Truth.
I sense the following word in my spirit from the heart of Almighty FATHER YHUH (YHWH).

"My beloved son/daughter - I have waited for you to come to Me and My Word. I long to teach you the things that no church, fellowship, or man can teach you, yet you have ignored my call. There are deep treasures in My Word awaiting you if you only take the time to search for it. Why do you allow the things of this world to entangle you, steal your time, and keep you away from Me? Don't you know that I have given you the gift of time [every day] to search for Me, yet you have allowed people, situations, and things to steal that which I have kept in-store for you! Your treasures are awaiting you - know that you will NOT find it in any church, any human, nor in this fading world. I am calling you - I have been calling you, but you have not heard, nor listened. That which you seek from man, you will not find. You can only find it with Me - but you HAVE to seek Me - you have to really press-in. There are certain things that man cannot teach, nor give you. Only I can. There are certain answers ONLY I can give you - stop running to man for the answers only I possess. Come to Me my son/daughter - I am waiting for you. Will you listen this time and truly seek Me, or will you allow the enemy to steal that which I have kept in store for you once again? Come to Me, I am waiting for you - your treasures are waiting for you - your healing and restoration are with Me - your answers are with Me - everything you need I hold in My righteous right hand".

Testimony of Pierre (Rock) Eksteen
Dear Believer, Friend and Family in Messiah — this testimony is NOT intended to judge, convict, convince or confront anyone. I share it in love, with humility, without judgment and out of OBEDIENCE and REVERENCE to my 1st Love – My Almighty Father YHUH (YHWH), Who I love with ALL my BEING!

All I ask of you is to open your heart, allowing the Ruach (Spirit) of Father YHUH to minister to you through this testimony.

I was brought-up in a typical South African “Christian” home with good moral values. My father was not at home very often, as he often travelled for work. When he was home over weekends, he drank and visited his friends, playing snooker and darts. He was also a chain smoker. He was brought-up with his six other siblings by their mother. He was never taught how to love by his father, and being a father himself, he lacked to show love. He was often very hard on my 2 brothers and me as we grew up. I got a lot of hidings for things I never did, nor deserved. My 2 brothers were close and always teamed-up against me. I was afraid of my father, but also had respect for him, for he was a good provider and had lots of wisdom! We did not have a healthy father-son relationship. He always “bragged” about me when their friends visited them, but never told me in person that he was proud of me and that he loved me. This made me insecure and very angry. I was alone most of my life, mostly being misunderstood, misquoted and labeled for being “different and quiet”. Even in my peer groups I had limited friends, because most of the boys around me (I was in a boy’s only school) irritated me with their immaturity and immoral lifestyles. All they cared about was taking advantage of girls, drinking, and trying to prove their manhood by being “macho”, often making fools of themselves in the process. I was never like that, and because I was different, I was labeled, made fun of and rejected! I did not have good self-esteem and my self-worth was basically non-existent. I had low self-image as well. Because I felt rejection from my father, brothers and most of those around me, I started “performing” to be recognized, affirmed, validated, and receive attention. I performed well in sport and in my academic school career, reaching great milestones, getting a lot of recognition as a good “academic” and provincial sportsman. Yet, I still felt rejected, alone and misunderstood, even whilst receiving all the accolades. I felt that nobody really understood me and tried to connect with my heart, apart from my mother. I was NOT brought-up with hugs, kisses and DID NOT RECEIVE words of validation or affirmation, even though I needed it desperately. I had trust issues and did not allow people close to my heart. As I grew older, I started to seek acceptance, love and validation in wrong relationships with girls, and later with women as I grew older. I was angry, miserable, vulnerable and alone. I never drank, smoked or took drugs, and was never part of the “men’s club” going out drinking, making fools of themselves, and cheating on their loved ones. I was continually rejected for being different.

In my mid 20’s, I lost the one girl that meant the world to me through my own shortcomings, anger, jealousy, and insecurities. It broke me, because she really loved me, but could not put-up with my anger, doubt and jealously any longer. I drank an overdose of pills when she left me, not really caring about the consequences. My stomach was pumped in hospital. Even then my father and brothers did not embrace me and reach out to me. I was still alone and misunderstood. My mother was always there for me, showing me love as she knew best, but I needed more — much more. I got in and out of relationships with several women, but never really felt accepted and loved. I was broken, angry and vulnerable. I continued seeking love and acceptance, but could not find it. The void (whole) in my heart kept growing.

In my early twenties, I thought I met my Saviour, but it was all religion and tradition, with no real relationship. I was a Deacon in the church, led Bible study groups and got involved in youth ministry, but still felt alone, misunderstood and vulnerable. I was very religious.

Throughout my working career, people (especially women) approached me to help them with their broken lives, and I did, yet I could not help myself.

The relationships with women kept coming and going, very often with years going by of not being in any relationship, and the hurt and pain in my heart kept increasing. I was involved in many motorcycle and vehicle accidents, and lost my life many times - only to be given yet another chance.

I was angry at my heavenly Father, my parents, my brothers, my friends — actually, I was angry at the whole world. I started living a secluded life, watching TV and Movies, trying to keep busy.

I struggled to sleep, had bad nightmares and lived only for my work — alone, vulnerable, lost, and angry. In my rejection and anger, I lashed out against those who confronted or attacked me, almost killing a black man who tried to stab me, and seriously hurting others who tried to steal from me. By Father’s favor (grace) they all survived and I got yet another chance. In 1995, I bought my first brand new BMW and also bought my first property. I could basically buy what I liked and didn't need. I was “financially wealthy” and successful, or so I thought! I was still alone and felt unloved, even though I received a lot of attention from various women. Over the years of success, I discovered that women, possessions, money and my business could NOT fulfill me or make me happy. In 1997, after many break-ins, I lost my business and was sequestrated. I lost many things that were dear to me, including my house, cars and fiancé. Once again, I was down and out, with very little hope of a better tomorrow.

In 2000, I met a woman who challenged me to get out of religion and into a relationship with my heavenly Father. I left my “traditional church” with all its religious structures, sacraments and rules and met my heavenly Father for the first time, even though I thought I met Him in my early twenties. I had awesome encounters with my heavenly Father through His Son, by the power of His Spirit. I married this woman after knowing each other for 4 months. It was a disastrous marriage. We misunderstood and abused each other in subtle ways, my anger getting the better of me at times, and she walked out after only 2 months of our marriage, days before my 34th birthday. I was devastated, but FATHER gave me the chance to do deep soul searching when the company that I worked for at the time, made my head office position redundant and sent me home for a month. Father gave me the favor and time to stay in His Word during this time. I felt His presence, love and acceptance, and it started changing me from the inside. During this time, I had encounters with Father YHUH, and received the gift of speaking in tongues, without anyone laying hands on me. My Father started to heal and restore me, but there was still a void in my heart. This void drove me into yet more wrong relationships with a couple of women. 

In 2002, my earthly father and I [found] one another for the first time, two months before he passed on. I was relieved to have had the opportunity to set things straight with my dad. I forgave Him and He told me how proud he was of me. For the first time in 36 years, he validated and affirmed me. In this year, I met a man who reached out to my father on his death bed. He asked me to come to their “church”, which I did. I got very involved in this church and started to reach out to people in the broader community. I saw and experienced many miracles and was transformed by it. I started with my Theology degree, having 2 jobs at the time. It was very difficult, yet I excelled to the top of my class, getting my degree in mid 2005. In late 2005, I lost a multimillion contract through the cunningness and deceit of my partner and for the second time, I lost almost everything. I could take my partner, my client, and our service provider to court, having all the proof of their corruption and literally walk out with millions. I fasted for three days and felt the prompting to leave the “Business Environment” and go into full-time ministry. This decision was confirmed by my pastor at the time. I decided to not take my partner, my client or the service provider to court, and forgave them unconditionally. The church appointed me in a pastoral capacity and ordained me in November of 2005. I ministered and served in schools, my congregation and the broader community. I was part of many outreaches and miracle healings, and had amazing encounters, but there was still something missing. Something didn’t feel right.

In 2007, there was a mayor “church split”, as proof of corruption, deceit and manipulation were exposed. After prayer, I was prompted to leave the congregation and the formal structure of the church that was not governed by the Word of YHUH, but by control, greed, anger and deceit. I felt betrayed and abused yet again.

I was left in the wilderness once again, with only my heavenly Father and His Son to comfort, heal and restore me. I was jobless and poor, but Father YHUH continued providing for me through the good hearts of many people who sowed into my life financially. I had a lot of time to do research and deep study of the Word of Almighty YHUH for a period of more than three years.  As I did, I started receiving understanding and revelation knowledge of many things in SCRIPTURE – things that I was NOT taught in Theology School or in any church that I was connected to. Father connected me with mature spirit-filled believers who confirmed everything that I received from the Scriptures and through revelation of His Qodesh Ruach (Set Apart Spirit).  

During this time, I was prompted to do research and deep study regarding the authenticity of Scripture translations, after receiving the same Scripture (Jer 6:16) over and over again! This Scripture commanded me to seek my Father’s ANCIENT PATHS, which is the way to what is GOOD. He commands us to seek and follow His ancient paths, because He knew that satan would pervert it through religion, tradition, culture, and the doctrines of man. I was shocked, disappointed and disgusted to discover that the vast majority of “Bible” Translations misled Believers through omitting many Bible verses and by BLATANTLY altering and miss-translating some Scriptures. They also removed the names of Father and Son from all modern-day translations. This grieved me deeply, and I was driven to do even more research and study. During many of these “discovery sessions”, the Word of YHUH became clearer and clearer, as I started receiving revelation knowledge which TRULY and DEEPLY TRANSFORMED me in ways I did not think was possible.

For the first time in my “Spiritual walk” of more than 20 years (loving Father YHUH through Messiah Yahusha, thinking I was in relationship with Him, but not having the revelation of who He really was and what His Word taught, caught-up in tradition, religion and the doctrines of man), I had the opportunity to ENTER into COVENANT with Father YHUH. Yes, as a Charismatic Pastor with a Theology degree, having all the knowledge, and having many miraculous encounters, experiencing many miracles along the way, I did NOT UNDERSTAND COVENANT, neither was I taught covenant by any of my Superiors and Mentors.

I was led to REPENT for [unknowingly] leading Believers astray, teaching them many man-made doctrines that were rooted in tradition, religion, culture and man. I broke and NULLIFIED all contracts, oaths, seals, vows, covenants and soul ties with spiritual Babylon (Rev 18:4 and Jer 51:6, 45), renouncing all its demonic roots, (including many of the doctrines taught in churches around the world). I were immersed again in the TRUE SCRIPTURAL NAME of the Messiah (Act 4:12)! I traveled more than 1000 km’s to be immersed by a brother who had been walking in truth and righteousness for many years! Father through His Ruach (Spirit) taught me what His Word teaches about COVENANT. Willingly and excitingly I entered into COVENANT with Father Yahuah and His Word (Deut 29), choosing to serve ONLY Him, not any religious structure, with all its “dogma” that opposes and rebels against the Word through their traditions, sacraments, FALSE teachings, etc. Father through His Ruach connected me with many like-minded and hearted Believers all around the world. They went through the same deep CLEANSING and REFINING process which I did, confirming to me all that I received through my “discovery sessions” with Father YHUH.

Again, I remind you that I have NO INTENTION to judge, condemn, or convict you, but because I love you and care for you and your well-being, I share the following truths with you . . .  many around the world, including I have received the truth by diligently searching the heart of our Father. Whatever you choose after reading this testimony, I make the choice to still love you, as I have no right to judge you.

Today, I do not have the luxuries, cars, houses and possessions I used to have, yet I have MUCH MORE than I ever had before. I NO LONGER serve a “church system” with all its traditions and man-made doctrines. I serve the Creator of the world, the Author of Scripture and the Love of my life. Father Yahuah (YHUH/YHWH) led me back to my TRUE SCRIPTURAL ROOTS – His Torah (meaning His Direction, Instructions and Commands)!

Out of OBEDIENCE, REVERENCE, HONOR and by CONVICTION, I no longer call on Father through “Titles” (Lord or God), nor poorly “Transliterated Names”, PROFANING His set-apart Name, but I call upon Him in His COVENANT, set-apart Name that He made known to all His People through His Word.

Please study the teachings on my web links at the end of this testimony for proper insight and understanding of why I call upon Almighty Father and Messiah on their proper Scriptural Names.

I follow FATHER YHUH’s Scriptural calendar (forsaking the world’s perverted man-made calendar). I follow and observe His laws, commands, ordinances and right-rulings, referred to as His Torah (see in my web links below of WHY the Torah STILL applies today – it has NOT been replaced by Grace as many teach and believe, even though Grace does allow us the freedom to go to our Father when we have sinned).

Father’s Instructions were NOT given only to the Jews to observe, but to all 12 Tribes of Yisrael, including Jew and Gentile (of which 10 tribes have been scattered all over the world). I observe YHUH’S Scriptural 7th day Sabbath, keeping it set-apart.

I forsake all man-made [pagan] festivals and holidays, opposing and rebelling what Scriptures teach (like christmas, valentines, easter, new years, Halloween, etc). I willingly observe Father YHUH’S seven (7) ordained appointed times as given to us by Him in His Word (Lev 23). It was instituted by Him, not Mosheh (Moses). He commands all Yisrael (all 12 Tribes, of which 10 has been scattered all over the earth) to observe it, NOT ONLY the Jews.

Today, I have NO LACK (even though finances remain a struggle) l – I am TRULY FREE to enjoy living ABUNDANT LIFE, even though I am NOT PERFECT, and still miss the mark daily. I am WHOLE, SECURE and at PEACE. I have PEACE and JOY in my heart. I have a lasting HOPE and INHERITANCE that cannot fade away. I am VICTORIOUS in every struggle, battle and circumstance, even though life is very tough and hard at times. I am FULFILLED, HAPPY and CONTENT, no matter my circumstances. I have found all that I was looking for in my COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with Father Yahuah (YHUH) — all that I sought and could NOT FIND in any relationship, job, hobby, money, church, or possession. 

For those willing to sacrifice your time, SEEKING the incorruptible and unadulterated TRUTH of YHUH’s Word, through your love, reverence and obedience to Him, are encouraged to study the web links below (at the end of the testimony) and test everything with the Word of Father YHUH/YHWH!

I bless you and pray that you will find the riches that many around the world, even children have found through research and study of Scripture, led by the Ruach of YHUH.

Debarim (Deut) 29:9-15 
“Therefore you shall guard the words of this covenant, and do them, so that you prosper in all that you do. “All of you are standing today before YHUH, your Eloah/Elohim (Almighty): your leaders, your tribes (all 12 tribes), your elders and your officers, all the men of Yisra’ĕl, your little ones, your wives, and your sojourner who is in the midst of your camp, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water, so that you should enter into covenant with  YHUH your Eloah, and into His oath, which YHUH your Eloah makes with you today, in order to establish you today as a people for Himself (set-apart), and He Himself be your Elohim, as He has spoken to you, and as He has sworn to your fathers, to Aḇrahim, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ.  “And not with you alone I am making this covenant and this oath, but with him who stands here with us today before YHUH our Eloah, as well as with him who is not here with us today (INCLUDING YOU and I).

YeshaYahu (Isa) 40:8
“Grass shall wither, the flower shall fade, but the Word of our Elohim stands forever”.

1Kepha (Pet) 1:24
because “All flesh is as grass, and all the esteem of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but the Word of Elohim remains forever.” And this is the Word, announced as Good News to you.

Debarim (Deut) 30:1-5 
“And it shall be, when all these words come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you shall bring them back to your heart among all the gentiles where YHUH your Eloah/Elohim drives you, and shall turn back to YHUH your Eloah and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your being, you and your children, then YHUH your Eloah shall turn back your captivity, and shall have compassion on you, and He shall turn back and gather you from all the peoples where YHUH your Eloah has scattered you. “If any of you are driven out to the farthest parts under the heavens, from there YHUH your Eloah does gather you, and from there He does take you. “And YHUH your Eloah shall bring you to the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it. And He shall do good to you, and increase you more than your fathers.

Wayyiqra (Lev) 23:1-2 
And YHUH spoke to Mosheh, saying, “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘The appointed times of YHUH (NOT MAN or CHURCH), which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, My (Father’s, NOT MAN’S) appointed times, are these:  

YirmeYahu (Jer) 6:16
Thus said YHUH, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old (ANCIENT) paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and find rest for yourselves. But they said, ‘We do not walk in it.’

Qoheleth (Ecc) 12:13-14
Let us hear the conclusion of the entire matter: Fear Elohim and guard His commands, for this applies to all mankind! For Elohim shall bring every work into right-ruling, including all that is hidden, whether good or whether evil.
