[Music] I spent the first 33 years of my life lost I was so depressed um struggled with uh self-image I struggled with bulimia I struggled with alcohol my relationships were falling apart and my breaking point was when I got my second DWI in March of 2023 and when that happened I took myself to get help and one of the first things that God revealed to me was I don't know who he is and that just set my heart on fire to to find him June 13th of last year was when Jesus found me and encountered
me and I gave my life over to him and I just started really seeking and pursuing and he was so faithful along that way to just lead me and guide my steps and every step was leading to the Bible and on June 13th I went out and I bought a Bible and for really the first time in my life I sat down to read it with an open heart to hear and receive and as soon as I opened the Bible and started reading I was so overcome with joy and and it was better than any
feeling I could ever imagine and I couldn't stop reading the word at that point it was my food and my nourishment and I needed it I knew I encountered Jesus in that moment and everything in my life 180 changed after that you know I I wasn't going to church and I said I got to get to church I knew nothing about Israel before that and all of a sudden God starts giving me these Revelations of his heart for Israel and and her people and he had just set me so much on fire and as he's
giving me more revelation of his heart and what he loves I want to love what he loves and I want to do what he does and if if he loves Israel I want to love Israel and he just started moving all of the pieces to put the right people in my path the church I was at and people that I would talk to about this it just started leading me to one for Israel I've really loved watching their videos about uh people's testimonies about all of the attacks on October 7th and to hear how God
protected his people I watched Kia's story and it blew me away I just felt her fire her love for the Lord and just to see how God's moving in people to to build them up and Inspire other people he was their Refuge he was their shelter and he is going to continue to protect his people I feel there's this call to Unity in the church Church to come together and stand as one and support one another during these times and encourage one another in the Lord I know that God has revealed to me his everlasting
love for his land of Israel and her people I can't even imagine the blessings that will come upon my life and others lives when all of Israel is awakened to Jesus their lord and savior and I just am so excited to be alive during this time to watch it all of the promises for them unfolding right before my eyes to witness this to be a part of it to be involved in it and to help pave the way for Jesus's second coming it's amazing my name is Kristen and I am one for Israel [Music] [Applause]
