Freewill

One misconception people have about God is that He doesn't love or care about them.   

"What about all those poor people who don't have anything to eat?"  "Why would God allow that to happen?"  "If God loves me, why didn't He stop me from doing that?" "If God cared,  He wouldn't let that happen to the children!" "I told God that if He loved me to show me a sign, and He didn't!"

God Exists and He Does Love You

I understand that many people can't or won't allow themselves to comprehend a God who truly does love them so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die for them, for us all as a free will self-sacrifice for our sins. There are those who can't accept the free gift of eternal life because they don't believe they deserve it. Well, they are right. No one deserves it, yet through His unfathomable love God offers it to us anyway.

John 3:16-21  
    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

These aren't just words quickly written on a hand made sign to flash toward the cameras at sporting events. These are words which hold life and the hope we all hold in our hearts...we all want to be loved and hold some significance in this vast universe.

I can't convince anyone to believe one way or the other about the existence of Adonai, our Creator. That's the thing about free will. We make our own choices and then live with the results of those choices. That's the way we were created by our Creator. What I can do, and would like to do now is tell you a little about how I met my Lord and Messiah, Yeshua, known to the world as Jesus the Christ...

He Cared Enough To Touch My Heart And Save My Life

Many years ago, as a teenager, I received a personal, physical revelation that God really did exist. As a troubled teen I had intended to end my life. My last act was to be a call to my best friend to say good-bye. Well, long story short, she convinced me to pray and ask God if He really existed. I did and discovered that the Creator of the universe cared enough about me that He came to me and put His hand on my shoulder! When He did this, I looked up to see who it was that was standing next to me. My gaze went up into the night sky and I saw only the beautiful canopy of the multitudes of stars; the same stars I knew the ancient patriarch Abraham must have also looked upon when Adonai was talking to him. I didn't see God, yet His hand stayed on my shoulder and sent an increasingly vibrant warmth through out my entire being. He talked to me as a child, broken and in need of her Father. I understood for the first time in my life that there was a reason to live.

From that moment I have always known God not only existed, but knew He loved me so much that He came to me in my darkest hour. I later learned how Yeshua, Jesus Christ, died for me, giving His life willfully, so that my sins would be washed away by His own blood. He changed my life by giving my life back to me ten fold...with a purpose to be revealed in my later years.

It Was My Free Will Choice To Make

Most would think that after having that kind of personal revelation I would have never turned from God and His commandments...but in a sense I did. In the late 70s I allowed myself to be exposed to the lesbian lifestyle, which I shortly thereafter embraced and lived proudly for over 11 years. I accepted that way of life as a welcome expression of my "true self." I accepted the explanation that was promoted at the time, "I was born this way," as my herald even more than most others. After I "came out" I discovered my father was gay, also a homosexual, living his life in secret. That doorway of inheritance had swung wide open to captivate my life, as soon as my curiosity lead me to take a peek inside. 

During those "gay days" I considered myself to be a solid believer, never wavering from God's word. How can that be? Well, it was easy to rationalize the scriptures into the lifestyle...To pick and choose which commandments and laws I would embrace.  Many of the churches were doing the same thing, so I felt comfortably justified in picking and choosing which verse of scripture I would obey and which I would put off as "the law". The commandments which told me to love my neighbor and not lie with man or beast: no problem in my mind, I did neither. In my mind I was OK with God.

My spiritual life was compromised to allow me to enjoy my chosen lifestyle.  I always was a spiritual person, always studying about the different religions of the world and applying them to my life, if I deemed them beneficial. At one point I studied under a Cheyenne Shaman, learning about astro-projection and other practices. I began to develop what I thought was a well rounded spiritual awareness and open mindedness, embracing the power which came with the gained knowledge of various "crafts." I learned how to feel and control each element of my being. That was the power in my life I was seeking for, or so I thought.

My quest for spiritual enlightenment continued unrestricted until my life took a turn for the worse. The power which I had so enjoyed and welcomed was beginning to tear apart my life, sending me over the top in anger and emotional outbursts towards my family and friends. I realized, as others before me have, I needed to get back to the basics of my faith: that solid foundation which existed only in the pages of the Bible: the Word of God.

I had a couple of friends whom the Lord used to help me on my way back to Him. They gave me a couple of books and told me about a deliverance ministry in the Southwest, where they were going to visit. After they left for California, I began reading the two books; I never put them down. The Lord was using the books to convict me of not only my lesbian lifestyle, but also of everything that I had been involved with since coming out from under the shelter of His wings. 

My heart was devastated when I considered my entire lifestyle, upon which I had built my family, home, and comfortable life was not in God's will, or allowable in His commandments. This realization was made worse by the understanding that if I wanted to walk in obedience to God's Word, the Bible, I would have to leave everything that I loved, and had worked so hard for in those 11 years, and walk away from it. When the time came, I knew I had to do it. I had to straighten out my life. This was, without a doubt, the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. After a short period of grace given to me by the Lord for study and spiritual renewal, the flood gates of hell burst open.

I found myself alone and being attacked spiritually. The thoughts in my mind, placed there by the very entities I had once served, were trying to destroy me. I tried to hold onto the good parts of my life, while applying scripture to my life. I tried to get the best out of both worlds and failed. My life was rapidly falling apart in all directions, all at once. I soon found myself at the very bottom of a dark pit with no strength to pull myself out. In my confusion and despair, with my friends gone and those whom I had known as my "family" separated from me, I was led by my "guides" to end my life. I sat in a vacant house, with a .45 pistol in my mouth. I pulled the trigger. Nothing happened. I began to tremble and through my tears, checked the gun over to ensure I had the safety off. Yep, it was ready to fire. Again I tried to fire...Nothing! No matter how hard I tried to pull that trigger, the gun would not fire! It was then that I gave up the fight. God had just intervened in my life for the second time, to save my life. I had much to learn...I knew I was going to California and that my life would never be the same.

Fast forwarding to the present, I can say it has been a very hard journey and road to follow, with many pitfalls along the way. Many times I have fallen as a result of putting my faith in people instead of directly in the Lord, and being deceived by people and false teachings; yet each time I was again lifted up by the Word and hand of the Lord. The most difficult trials evolved into important lessons, teaching me the basic principles of spiritual warfare, deliverance and exorcism. Through each new challenge and every test of my faith, the Lord taught me through His Word revealed to me by His Holy Spirit and the practical teaching of those I worked with in the ministry.

Through the years I have gained the understanding and experience, and the Lord shown to me the importance of ministries which provide guidance for those seeking deliverance or exorcism. In the passing years He has developed a deep love within my heart for all of His people, especially those who have been ensnared as I was, having been deceived by the lies which were twisted into His Word.

By Their Fruits You Shall Know Them 

The creation of the Shomayr Foundation and Exorcism 101 is a service of my heart, through God's love which He has placed in my heart for His people. This website is my answer to the call the Lord has given me: minister to all who have been thrown away by others who don't have the time or desire to bother themselves with helping them to be set free of spiritual bondage and oppression; to provide a source of information to assist in the self-deliverance of each seeker, 24/7/365, according to their needs and their intentions, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit; to provide ministers with a quick and easily understandable guide to help them assist their people in times of great crisis and need; to present a path to eternal life through the One True God, the Holy One of Israel and our Messiah, Yeshua, known to the world as Jesus the Christ. The on-line guidance and assistance we provide through emails is free, and allows everyone an opportunity to get experienced, personalized assistance to fit their needs and situations.

For the limited time we have left in this life let's rejoice in the freedom and liberty provided by our God and Creator, to praise and worship as one voice speaking to His ever listening ear. I hope and pray that the Lord will use this site to help provide you with what is needed to bring you into a personal, one-to-one relationship with Himself, the very God and Creator who made His Light shine through the darkness as a beacon of grace and hope; that it will help lead everyone who come here, along the path of discovery to our Heavenly Home, in the footsteps of the true Master, Yeshua Ha Moshiach, Jesus the Christ.

John 1:10-14   
    He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. [11] He came unto his own, and his own received him not. [12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: [13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. [14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

John 1:1-5 
    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [4] In him was life; and the life was the light of men. [5] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
