WELCOME to my BLOG/SITE beloved family/friend/visitor . . .
My prayer is that you will be led by the Qodesh Ruach/Ruach Ha'Qodesh (Set-Apart Spirit) of Almighty Yahuah (YHUH), and truly be blessed as you browse this blog/site.
I created this blog/site as a back-up to my global facebook ministry to ensure continuous fellowship with ALL my beloved family - all around the world. I was blocked from facebook (for a week) in early 2015, because I was reported by someone who didn't feel comfortable with the TRUTH I shared on my wall. Many of my family got worried about me, and didn't know what was going on.
At least my precious family won't be disconnected from me again, should facebook block me again for whatever reason.
I love you all in Mashiach (Messiah) Yahusha, our beloved Master.

ISR - The Scriptures
[Restored Scripture (Bible) Translation]
YeshaYahu (Isaiah) 45:20-21
"Gather yourselves and come; draw near together, you who have [escaped from the gentiles]. [No knowledge] have they who are lifting up the wood of their carved image, and pray to a mighty one that does not save. "Declare and bring near, let them even take counsel together. Who has announced this from of [old]? Who has declared it from that time? Is it not [I, יהוה (YHUH/YHWH)]? And there is no mighty one (god) besides Me, a righteous Ěl and a Saviour, there is none besides Me".
Titus 2:11-14
For the saving Gift of Elohim (Almighty) has appeared to all men, instructing us to [renounce wickedness and worldly lusts], and to [live sensibly], [righteously], and [reverently] in the present age, looking for the blessed [expectation and esteemed appearance] of the great [Elohim and our Saviour יהושע Messiah], who gave Himself for us, to [redeem us from all lawlessness] and to [cleanse for Himself a people], His own possession, [ardent for good works].

The COMMISSION of believers and followers of MESSIAH . . .
Marqos (Mark) 16:15-18
And He (Messiah) said to them, “Go into [ALL the WORLD] and proclaim the Good News to [every creature]. “He who has believed and has been immersed (baptized), shall be saved, but he who has not believed shall be condemned. “And these signs shall accompany the ones who believe: In My Name they shall cast out demons, they shall speak with renewed tongues, they shall take up snakes, and if they drink any deadly drink it shall by no means hurt them, they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall get well.”
Acts (Ma'aseh) 1:8
“But you shall receive power when the Set-apart Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My [WITNESSES] in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and in all Yehuḏah (Judea) and Shomeron (Samaria), and to the [END] of the [EARTH].”

Beloved and precious believer/visitor . . .
The sad reality is that we have been deceived for thousands of years. This world has corrupted our minds and defiled our hearts! This world has contaminated us, abused us, taken advantage of us, manipulated us, and stolen from us!
We can continue to allow this destructive cycle of deceit in our lives, or we can make the wise decision to divorce the things of this world, which have kept us bound; and pursue [covenant] relationship with our Creator and Heavenly Father, returning to our true Scriptural [roots], and His [paths] of righteousness, life, blessing and peace.
Translators have deceived us with their false pens (Jer 8:8).
Religion has lied to us - pastors, priests, rabbi's, prophets and ministers have corrupted us with their dogmas, contaminating us with their man-made doctrines.
Culture has lied to us and defiled us - having their own set of codes and rules.
Tradition has lied to us and corrupted us - teaching us their abominations.
Institutions and Organizations have kept us bound to their corrupt "capitalist (slavery) system".
Governments have exploited, exposed and impoverished us, instead of protecting and prospering us . . .
The GOOD NEWS is that we live in times of RESTORATION.
Those who earnestly and diligently seek TRUTH, will FIND it!
Those who want to COME-OUT of this corrupt Babylonian system, can be delivered from her - and be SET FREE from her chains of bondage and slavery!
I firmly believe that you have been led to this site/blog, enabling you to DIVORCE Babylon and all her abominations, allowing you to enter into COVENANT with Almighty Father YHUH (YHWH).

WORSHIP The FATHER in SPIRIT and TRUTH!
For so many years, serving as a minister and pastor, I thought I worshiped The FATHER in Spirit and Truth, and guided other believers to do the same - YET I wasn't worshiping The FATHER in Spirit and Truth - and I didn't even know it, let alone understand it at the time. After resigning as pastor and divorcing the Babylonian religious [church] system, I started researching and studying Scripture WITHOUT the influences of man or church.
It was only AFTER I REPENTED from lawlessness (Eze 14:6; Eze 18:30), and RETURNED to the paths (Jer 6:16) of My Father [His blueprint (Torah)], that I was able to enter into COVENANT with Him, and serve and worship Him in SPIRIT and TRUTH!
NO-ONE who walks in LAWLESSNESS (Torah-lessness) can KNOW the Father or Son, let alone worship them in SPIRIT and TRUTH!
1Yohanan (John) 2:3-8
And by this we know that we [know] Him, [IF] we [guard His commands]. The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a [LIAR], and the [truth is not in him]. But whoever guards His Word, truly the love of Elohim has been perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. The one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked. Beloved, I write [no fresh command] to you, but an [old command] which you have had [from the beginning]. The old command is the Word which you heard from the beginning. Again I write you a fresh command, which is true in Him and in you, because the [darkness is passing away], and the [true light] now shines.

Please allow me from the outset to [HUMBLY] share the following information with you [IN LOVE]. . .
'I, Pierre (Rock) Eksteen do NOT think or proclaim that I am perfect, or even close to it! I did NOT create this website to seek fame, popularity, or recognition; nor to enrich myself'.
I created this site out of LOVE, REVERENCE, and OBEDIENCE to My ONLY FIRST LOVE - My Creator and heavenly FATHER YHUH (YHWH), and His SON (Messiah) - my entire life devoted to loving, serving, and following them WITHOUT COMPROMISE.
I [choose] to [love] and [serve] all those who LOVE The FATHER and SON, and their Word of Truth - WITHOUT any false intentions or motives, and without expecting anything from you.
ONLY SCRIPTURAL TRUTH's are shared through this website - TRUTH's that are CONFIRMED by Scripture and/or historic evidence.
I humbly acknowledge that I have shortcomings in areas where I still require growth - as all of us do.
I am [and remain] a work in progress - as all of us are.
I strive to please My [Ab/Abba] Father YHUH (YHWH) through my daily life.
I do NOT claim to know everything, nor do I think that I am better than anyone else! I am still learning every day, spending much time researching and studying Scripture - without the influence of [corrupt] "man".
I do NOT promote any form of structured religion - this includes Judaism, Christianity, Islam, or any other form of religion.
I ONLY promote [COVENANT] relationship with Almighty Father YHUH (YHWH), through His Son (The Messiah), by the power of their Ruach (Spirit).
I ONLY witness and promote the PURE [UN]ADULTERATED TRUTH of SCRIPTURE, CONFIRMED by SCRIPTURE and WITNESSED by man - guiding truth seekers OUT OF babel/babylon, and INTO COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with YHUH (YHWH).
I do NOT belong to any sacred names movement (or any other movement).
I do NOT belong to any sect, cult, or religious institution, nor do I represent any [religious] denomination.
I am merely a committed and faithful witness, servant and talmid (disciple) of my ONLY FIRST LOVE - my Creator and heavenly Father YHUH (YHWH), in COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with Him, through His Son - My Redeemer, Messiah, Teacher, Shepherd, Leader, High Priest, King, Best Friend and Bridegroom.
I serve you WITHOUT any titles (as I used to do until 2007).
I have significant life-transforming TRUTHS to share with you relating to the struggles that I personally endured through constant rejection, condemnation, as well as low self-worth and self-esteem. I was negative, angry, depressed, and alone for the greatest part of my life - having little hope of fitting-in anywhere - let alone becoming an "Overcomer", living a life of blessing.
I will share some of my personal experiences with you, including the knowledge and insight that I received through my own shortcomings and struggles - also ministering to and counseling many youth, men, women, families, and people in the broader community since 1999.
I will share why I was prompted to LEAVE and DIVORCE the "modern-day church" and all that [she] represents, resigning from my position as charismatic pastor, in which capacity I served until mid 2007. Even though I graduated top of my theology class, obtaining my degree with an average in the mid 90%, I was confused, lost, and unfulfilled. I experienced many miracles whilst serving as a pastor in the broader community (in South Africa), but SADLY had LITTLE UNDERSTANDING, and almost NO REVELATION of Scripture, even though I had much knowledge of Scripture! How truly SAD is this! I have come to the realization that knowledge without UNDERSTANDING and REVELATION of Scripture can be very DANGEROUS - it can destroy lives. I was CONSTANTLY deceived by my superiors and peers during my church-serving years of more than 20 years. They taught me the doctrines and traditions of man, rather than the Word of ELohim (Almighty), building their own little kingdoms . . . or should I rather say [businesses]?
Even though I had knowledge, I didn't realize that I was deceived, manipulated, and taken advantage of. This kept me frustrated, bound, and unfulfilled for the greatest part of my life!
[If] I did not put in the time to seek and continue seeking what I felt was amiss in my life - I would have still served as a frustrated and unfulfilled pastor, teaching the traditions and doctrines of man through a religious [babylonian] system, which operates on [corrupt] business principles!
