After more than 15 years of tears, trials and persecutions the Lord supernaturally put a book on spiritual healing in my hands. That same day was the very last time that I uttered the desperate words: “Please, help me, God!” I literally devoured the book and applied those Biblical truths to my own life. After seeing the powerful results, I shared it with the members of my household and taught them the principles. I then moved on to my relatives, and God has since not stopped me from teaching these principles to the Body of Christ! Revelation knowledge has constantly been breaking through over the past seven years! I can hardly keep up writing down what God regularly reveals to me. My life has changed for good and I am free for the first time in my life! Glory to Yahshua HaMaschiach! There is only one thing left for me to do, until Yahshua returns, and that is: “At each and every sunrise I will awake to do what is right and put to silence those who love wickedness, freeing God’s people from their evil grip. I will do all of this because of my great love for Him!” Psalm 101:8 TPT This verse is the motivation behind my desire to help each and every student who enrolls for this program. My aim is teaching, serving and correcting, by using a sound doctrine, so that you too may have a blessed life in Christ Jesus and will stand blameless, without spot or wrinkle, before our Bridegroom - ready for the marriage ceremony and supper of the Lamb and His Bride!

In 1999 I received a prophesy that God would, someday in the future, take me into a dimension I did not even knew existed. As a believer, making earnest with my relationship with Yahshua, since my conversion at the age of 18, I could not imagine a dimension I had not yet experienced to some or other degree. Twenty years later, at the lowest point of my life ever, Yahshua surprised me by inviting me into that dimension, during my deliverance session at Berashith Ministry. It was a godly and life-changing experience! Yahshua set me free, healed my broken heart and, once again, gave me Living Hope! From my own perspective my brokenness rendered me an “unlikely candidate” for service in His Kingdom, but that day God confirmed that He had a definite plan for me, regardless of what I had gone through, during the previous 15 years. As stated in 1 Corinthians 1:27 and 28 God indeed uses those who appear to be useless, according to worldly standards. Hallelujah for His superabundant grace! The Holy Spirit also confirmed to me a new name, Estre-Lize, which means “Star-shaped leaf for the healing of the nations”. Since my deliverance, I have been inextricably linked to His assignment “…to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens and to let the oppressed go free, to break every yoke, to draw out my soul to the hungry and to satisfy the afflicted soul.” (Isaiah 58: 6-10) God has ever since constantly been busy with a transformation process in my soul and body. He has been changing my mind, my perspectives and priorities and is constantly purifying and sanctifying me, teaching me and leading me to spiritual maturity. Before my session my life was divided into two sections: Before I met my Savior, and after. Now, my saved life is again divided into two sections, namely my life first as a captive believer, and now as a delivered believer! Glory to my King, my Savior, Provider, Shepherd, Best Friend, Faithful Hero, First Love, Comforter and the All-Sufficient One!

Berashith Ministry underscores the prophecy of Isaiah, that is confirmed by Yahshua HaMashiach in Luke 4:17-19, when Jesus announced: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor”. Although I had been a born-again Christian for many years, I realized that I was not totally living in victory and freedom.  When I learned about the deliverance sessions, it took a while before I submitted to the inclination of the Holy Spirit to make an appointment. Filling the questionnaire made me realize how vulnerable we are by opening doors to the enemy (many times even innocently), leading to their evil legal grip on us. After the deliverance session, when I experienced the glorious liberty from captivity, I knew why I was kept away by fearful thoughts – the enemy will use full force to keep us away from the powerful, redeeming love of our Abba Father! Although I knew theoretically that Yahshua is our High Priest and Intercessor, I was pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming experience of compassion and forgiveness, when I repented of my sins and iniquities. I have learned that NOTHING can separate us from the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus. His love not only silenced my fears, but He confirmed that I am His beloved warrior bride!  How can my life ever be the same, now that I am engaged to the King? I have learned that in order to win ANY spiritual battle, I must first forgive, give up resentment and bless the person before I bind the evil spirit in the mighty name of Yahshua. During the foundation meetings and mentoring, the Holy Spirit convicted me to repent of dead works. I was on a performance treadmill, trying to impress the One who has already redeemed me by paying for my freedom with the highest price ever, His precious blood.  I realized that I was still attempting to win His favor with works, by pridefully keeping the law. The revelation came when we dissected the meaning of the ark of the covenant in the tabernacle. I deserve His wrath, because I am unable to keep the law - BUT the law is covered by the blood of Yahshua on the mercy seat.  No longer can I boast in His presence. I, however, can approach His throne with confidence and boldness, because I am saved by His free gift of righteousness and abundance of grace to reign in life by One, Jesus Christ! I finally know Him as the Prince of Peace!

I have always been following God.  Sometimes hot and sometimes cold.  Sometimes I called God “the Universe”.  That was when I was confused and not on the right path (I know that now).  I am living in the UK and found it really difficult to find fellow believers, but when I met Anneri, my Cousin’s wife, she introduced me to El-Azar and the bible study group. I came back to God with a passion! I don’t ever want to lose it again.  I have a fire burning inside me for the love of my FATHER. Like many of us, we go through life with all sorts of insecurities, disbelieves, etc. about ourselves and don’t always understand where it is coming from or how to get rid of these attachments (Spirits). El-Azar took me on a journey, which I called my freedom journey. We worked on getting rid of soul ties and evil spirits, which were holding onto my life, stealing my joy and success in my life.  It was a journey that was painful and was such an eye opener to what we allow into our lives.  If you are not aware of these things, then you will be in bondage all your life and never have the ability to live the life God intended us to live.  I can now recognize some characteristics, especially the Jezebel spirit and can address ‘her’ and chase ‘her’ out when I ’see’ her.  I don’t think the battle with these spirits will ever stop. But now I know that I have the authority to cast them out. I am now free from this and I can only thank holy Father for this. I can highly recommend everyone to go through this challenging experience and face what is holding you back.  Open your heart to be filled with joy and love for OUR GOD. May your teachings be heard by all over the world.

After my ministry session at Berashith, I was baptized, and it felt as if I had literally died. When I came out of the water and realized I was breathing, it was a new breath! I knew it was the "ultimate", with new, indescribable light and so much energy! As the days went on, after my session, I realized that my thoughts, mind and feelings were just so much more incredible and positive, and I could feel the Holy Spirit! Things just looked better and more positive. I also got a new name, Olav, which means "Peace be on you". This is so awesome! I can only say, "Thank you, Lord, for all the blessings!

I am writing this testimony to express my sincere appreciation for El-Azar, who is faithful and obedient to the Word of God, and to Berashith Ministry who went out of their way to help me with my deliverance. I went from a slave of depression and suicide to a new, set-free creation in Yahshua. I am deeply thankful to El-Azar, not only because I am his daughter, but because he helped me to call Christ my Father as well. I found my complete freedom and joy in abundance, once I was baptized and studied the Word of God daily. Berashith Ministry became my new family in Christ, after my own had rejected me. Yahshua has adopted me into a new family I can call my own. I deeply encourage every reader to let go of all your unbelief and let Yahshua purify and heal every broken wound. Every member of Berashith is Holy Spirit trained and equipped for the task that God has called them for. I am beyond thankful and blessed that God has prepared the way for each one of us for healing and freedom.

Before I visited El-Azar for my first inner healing session, I thought I was pretty much on the right track. Little did I know just how rooted I was in Babylon. Zachariah 4:6, God tells Zerubbabel he has been chosen to rebuild the temple, not by force or strength, but by His spirit and in verse 9 that he would be the one to lay the temple’s foundations. I am no longer digging my foundations with a teaspoon, but with the Holy Spirit’s guidance the works have begun!

May I please share with you what Yahshua has done in my life … Well, my life and marriage were a total mess! I felt so unloved and unworthy, totally confused, so that I just gave up (on myself and my marriage). But when I felt at my lowest, and at a point where I wanted to end my life, something in me (now I know it was the Holy Spirit) told me to surrender to Yahshua. In our living room I played the song “I SURRENDER” and I fell on my knees and started to pray, asking God to please help me, what must I do – I can’t do this anymore? And He helped me in more ways I could ever imagine. He led me to Berashith Ministry in a miraculous way. He met with me and healed my broken heart and He gave me back my marriage, better than ever before. “So, all I can say is: Surrender everything in your life to Yahshua! Give up the strive, envy and resentment – give up fighting battles that do not belong to you. But fight that battles with Yahshua against the evil forces that comes to steel, kill and destroy what Yahshua wants for us. So, NOW I am FREE. I am loved, I am worthy, and I am born again and adopted by Yahshua HaMashiach Amen and Amen Glory to God

I was an alcoholic, full of hatred, my marriage was on the rocks, I challenged Jesus, cursed and fought with Him! That's who Niël was. But I don't know that person anymore. After my baptism in the Holy Spirit, I became a new creation of El Gibbor! What a change of spirit that is! I get goose bumps when I think about it! It's amazing! Spiritually, it is the heart of Jesus! My change as a new Spirit person is so great that I have convinced my Mother and sister to receive the peace of God and the Holy Spirit as well. Everything about me now belongs to Jesus. I simply manage what He gives me. I want to meet Him at the mercy seat in the Holy of Holies. He is the God of my life, my Savior and the Righteous God, who controls and lives in me! Praise Him! The God of Exodus 20:20 is the only One I now fear! I fear nothing on earth! Love, peace and salvation are my way of life now! Thank you, Lord, for setting me free! Amen!!

Berashith Ministry was sent on my path through a Divine Message by The Holy Spirit, during a time when my life was being tormented by the enemy. By the Grace of Jehovah Elohim, Berashith assisted me to get into touch with my spirit man. Through the Holy Spirit, that worked through the Berashith team, I can now walk on a new path and I now recognize the way, set by Him, unto spiritual wholeness.

This ministry (Berashith) is one of few that breaks open truths to the people! I've learnt that there are three harvests that need to come in:

• Barley Harvest
• Corn harvest and
• Grape Harvest!!

Moreover, I learned to read the Word, which means that I take a chapter and read it with a spirit of "understanding"!!! After my healing and deliverance session at Berashith, for the first time ever, it made sense to me exactly what it means to be truly free! This ministry is a ministry of obedience, a ministry that listens and acts!!

I have known God all my life, but I have never had a relationship with Abba Father. About 12 years ago, I came to a place where I cried out to Father. I asked Him to start with me, otherwise it would be over with my marriage and many other things. Father slowly but surely began to pull off the plasters and let the pus out. But for some time my life was shallow. About 3 years ago, I met El-Azar, and Father came to do deep healing. I'm free now and I'm no longer like a wave, being beaten back and forth. I was broken, devastated, but now I'm the most beautiful piece of mosaic. God made me new!

Where does one start to give a testimony? Except for the deliverance, the healing of my emotional scars was so overwhelming, as I was not aware that I had such deep wounds! The void in my soul could then be filled with the love of Jesus. Never underestimate the work of the Holy Spirit!

I didn't know what to expect. I was afraid of opening up my heart, afraid of the exposure. But what a 'gentle' time played out during my session. The Holy Spirit touched me, as no psychologist, minister or counsellor could ever work with me. My life before the session: Bags full of luggage and a lost human being. NOW! New man, new man, all things have become new! The glasses of my life seems to be brighter, more accurate, and I look at my Yahshua, myself, my neighbor, and my purpose on earth with new eyes. The sessions gave me insight into who I was, and how I am now seen by my Creator. From that weekend onwards, I'm in a daily process of growth. I experience more Peace, Love, Grace and I hear Yahshua’s voice more distinctly. I love communicating with my Best Friend, anytime. The yearning I had for the love of a real father, is being fulfilled daily by the abundant Love my Heavenly Father offers me. I am fortunate that in my lifetime I have been able to go through this restoration process. I would like every human being to be able to stand before the Father and say that they have been freed from sin and the bonds of the past!

I share my testimony in order to extinguish any doubt that comes after or even before a deliverance session. It is easy to fall into doubt, especially when it comes to the unseen. The experience of deliverance is so amazing that the thought that catches us all, is "This can’t be true?" It was only about one week after my healing session that the Lord revealed to me the truth, a divine confirmation on the reality of the things unseen. I was visiting my family at a lodge near Ladybrand. During a conversation with my grandmother, she started talking about relatives, people I had never heard of, nor seen before. She told me about one brother who killed his sibling some years ago, resulting in broken relationships. At that specific time that I was visiting her, the family had decided to get back together to restore their broken relationships. That was profound, because during my healing session Jesus revealed to me that there was an open door in my bloodline due to a murder. He led me to repent of that sin in the courts of heaven on behalf of my bloodline! As I was still processing this information it occurred to me that, when we receive healing and cleanse our bloodlines during deliverance sessions, we, as individuals, create an opportunity, not only for ourselves, but also for our family members, to be restored, rebuilt and reconciled by Yahshua. I didn’t know about this incident in my family at all, until Jesus revealed it to me during the session and then confirmed it through my grandmother. The family members are now in contact with one another after several years of hatred and strive towards each other. My healing session didn't just release me from the bondage and the legal right the enemy had on my own life, but it also made a difference in the lives of my family members. May my testimony inspire and encourage you to ever be faithful in the reality of the things unseen, knowing and believing that your deliverance session makes a difference...!

To come out of slavery, Moses pleaded for the Israelites - a three-day journey into the wilderness to worship God most High. They never considered counting the cost of what this worship truly meant and what it would take to inherit the Promised Land. The wilderness exposed their rebellious hearts, disobedience, their negative report and failure to trust God. They rejected God’s gift of the Promised Land through FEAR, not knowing who their God is. It took me two years before I decided to do what the Lord instructed me to do. I also pleaded for freedom out of a place of slavery in a dark kingdom. I thought I was OK, but I was surrounded by thick Jericho walls of denial and I was reluctant to deal with my situation, where I was stuck. I am thankful for my counselling time at Berashith ministry. Exposing the darkness of FEAR and unbelief and many other hidden agendas and issues, that kept me from God’s blessings and His plans and heart for me. God took me deep into the dark foundations to restore it and to rebuild the new walls. The battle we all face in life is the battle to believe and trust God. To overcome FEAR and to enter the Promised Land and have dominion in it- living in it in complete Shalom and Rest. This is the place where the true worshippers will worship God Most High in Spirit and Truth. If through unbelief and rebellion, we reject and deny God’s promises, His grace and salvation, we will reap the consequences of destruction and death, but if we respond in faith, we will reap eternal life in the Fathers Heart. Counting the cost will be an everyday searching of our hearts, repentance, faith and trusting God, enduring till the end. So search your hearts every day, my brothers and sisters, and make sure that none of you has evil or unbelief hiding within you. For it will lead you astray, and make you unresponsive to the living God. Hebrews 3:12 TPT Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:12 NKJV

"Inner healing" is something every person on this planet needs. During my session at Berashith, I saw and experienced Yahshua as never before. He set me free from bonds I wasn't even aware of. It aroused in me a spiritual hunger that had never faded, and physical healings flowed from it. I can strongly recommend inner healing and deliverance to anyone who wants to grow in his spiritual life. It changed my life and I will forever be grateful for it.

I went for deliverance more than two years ago. My life has never been the same since. I have grown in all areas of my life. The most important thing I have learnt is to renew my mind with the Word of God… who He says we are. This brings division between the soul and the spirit. I have experienced a freedom in Jesus Christ, freedom to build a relationship with Him and to serve Him in spirit and truth. Mountains were lifted off my shoulders. I realized that I have the authority to address things in my life and to change it! He is a mysterious and wonderworking God! His timing is always perfect! I realized that I was actually free! I learn from Him every day. I am more than I ever thought I was. Each one of us should find in the scriptures who Yahweh says we are. That is renewing of the mind. Take your thoughts captive in obedience to what He says. Do not straddle between two thoughts, but stand on His Word, which is Yes and Amen! There is freedom, when you step out of bondage, when the chains break! But it is our responsibility to keep ourselves clean. May Berashith be blessed and lifted to higher heights in Jesus Christ. May He take you to a new level every time you deliver people from bondage!

After doing the sessions at Berashith, my soul wounds healed at last. It was like having an operation. A painful surgery, but then the wholeness set in, the peace that lasts is unexplainable. Yahshua set me free from fear, and so many other painful baggage, but not only me – my young children as well. Two of my children had trouble with dairy intolerance and constipation and they are all HEALED. My sister and my parents had encounters with Yahshua, just after my session, when I had asked Him to restore them also. My own mother even received healing in her neck. They are still amazed. Me being free had such a ripple effect. All I can say is thank you, Abba!

Bridehood was the one thought that went through my being during my deliverance session. How "amazing" our Bridegroom is, how excited He gets, when He sees His bride being cleansed from the hurt inside of her when she stretches out her open arms to her Bridegroom. My time at Barashith was a divine appointment with our Yashua, with our Yahweh Rapha, because HE came to heal me!!! Hallelujah! My encounter with Him was supernatural, and once again prooved to me that, if you call on Him, He will always be there. Hebrews 13:5 "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

In May 2020 I went to El-Azar for my deliverance session, after having been a born-again believer for eight years. Although I had gone for deliverance elsewhere previously, and was baptized, etc, enormous healing took place during that session and I experienced a huge difference in my life. There was a definite shift in the spirit realm and I had a new boldness that I never had before. My biggest struggle, since I had been converted, was for my husband to join me on this journey of faith, but for nine years it simply did not happen. Nine years is a long time, and I honestly did not become discouraged or gave up every now and then, but EVERY SINGLE day, only to take courage again, pray and trust that it would eventually happen one day in the future! During this period of waiting I made many mistakes, but at the same time I learnt a lot. By the time I met El-Azar, I had convinced myself that my husband would never make a decision for Jesus. That became the reality to me, because I had the perception that I was not responsible for his deliverance anyway! I had simply given up, and above all, started to suspect that he was unfaithful to me. I was desperate and upset, ready to end a marriage of 21 years, when a friend arranged for us to pray over the situation, along with El-Azar and his wife Hanna. Two days later my husband became very restless one night. In my own words, I believed that the Holy Spirit came to “arrest” him! To make a long story short, he went for deliverance shortly after and was set free, also from the bondages of Freemasonry! In the meantime he was baptized, with our two sons! I went for a successive session in September 2021, which I can describe as the removal of layer upon layer, like an onion, to become more and more free and pure. I could see how the spirit realm has a direct and huge influence on our daily existence, on how we perceive the world and how we act towards each other. The enemy has a bigger hold on us than most of us realize. 2 Timothy 3:5 says: “having a form of godliness but denying its power”.  For a long time I never realized what power was available to me, or what the crucifixion of Jesus really meant for me. We have enormous power to use against the enemy and to stand in victory! El-Azar and Berashith are instruments in the hand of God!

What a Holy, Supernatural experience to walk through my past with my dearest YAHSHUA! He broke all the chains and removed the hurt the enemy has been using all these years to harass me. It has been washed clean and is now under the Blood of my Bridegroom! I am cured and set free at the age of almost 70 of any form of pharmakeia - glory to Yahweh Raphe my Healer! HALLELU-YAH! I now bear HIS Seal imprinted on my new transformed heart! This lost child became child of the King of the Kingdom of Light and Life... I am a Bride of our darling Bridegroom - YAHSHUA! HALLELU-YAH!!

I was 89 years old when I went for my healing session and was baptized afterwards. My life was instantly changed! I moved from being captive to being free! I was medically diagnosed with lung emphysema, but I have no symptoms left in my body. I am now 91 years old and I work in the garden, clean my house, cook meals, go shopping and, more importantly, have a living and loving relationship with my Savior, Jesus Christ. He deemed me worthy to be set free at my old age and I look forward to only one thing – to spend eternity with Him!

I just want to testify how my life changed after you had ministered to me. Before I came for a session, I wanted to commit suicide. I have always felt inferior and I hated myself. There was a lot of strife in my family. As you served me, I could sense how the heavy, dead feeling disappeared and how new life came into me. I could even hear what my purpose was. There was so much healing in my family, after my session. Even my son’s life changed! Your ministry walks alongside us as we learn something new every week, during your teachings. We are one big family that cares about each other! Thank you so much!

The deliverance session with Berashith was one of the toughest, but most rewarding things I have ever done in my life. It was an intense two days of digging deep into my soul, but I personally feel ten tons lighter and at peace with trauma’s and things from my past. The most amazing part was that I never felt alone in these sessions. His presence was there all the time, and I was so aware of Yahshua holding my hand throughout the process. Now nothing stands in the way of my relationship with my Abba Father!
