Thank you for interviewing Aviad Cohen - after hearing his name mentioned at an on-line messianic service and being lead to discover more about the ‘former rapper’ who had come to faith in YESHUA HA’MASHIACH i found his official website and listened to his awesome new compact disc “HOOKED ON THE TRUTH” which is a ‘masterpiece’ furthermore i immediately ordered 30 cds to give as gifts to family and friends for the upcoming holiday season and i invite and encourage all his fans and friends to send a clear message to Aviad that we admire and support his talents and want many more songs glorifying our ALMIGHTY GOD.

messianic jews/real christians/true believers do not have any wool over our eyes we are born again in JESUS CHRIST which means the veil has been lifted so we are not blind but filled to capacity with the HOLY SPIRIT giving all worship to our LORD GOD and MESSIAH full stop
