Some voices entertain, while others awaken the soul. Eleyah Yisrael carries a sound rooted in reflection, repentance, and spiritual accountability. His music is not centered around popularity or performance, but around transformation, obedience, and returning to the ways of YAH. Through honest lyrics and an unorthodox style, he uses music as a vessel to challenge hearts and encourage listeners to examine the “inner man.”
Eleyah shared that his musical journey began during his teenage years through poetry. What started as written expression eventually evolved into music when, as he describes it, “the gift of YAH allowed me to put it on musical beats and the rest is history.” His artistry continues to grow, and he openly embraces the process of learning and developing his sound.
Rather than fitting himself into a traditional musical category, he describes his style as “unorthodox.” This uniqueness reflects his willingness to be authentic rather than conforming to expectations. His focus is not simply on producing songs, but on delivering a message that calls people higher spiritually.
At the center of his music is a strong message of repentance and obedience. He desires listeners to not only hear the Word but live it daily. His music encourages self-examination, reminding believers that faith requires action, sacrifice, and surrender to YAH’s will.
One of the most powerful parts of his testimony is how music has personally ministered to his own life. Certain songs shifted his mindset during difficult moments, reinforcing him belief that music inspired by YAH has the ability to heal, convict, and restore. For Eleyah, faith is not optional in his artistry, it is foundational. He explained that even when circumstances are unclear, faith teaches us to trust the Creator and allow the Set Apart Word to guide us through uncertainty.
Among his songs, one that carries deep meaning is titled “You Haven’t Changed”. The song challenges listeners to look honestly at themselves and ask whether true transformation has taken place. He explained that change means becoming converted, replacing worldly thinking with the wisdom of YAH, and learning to choose sacrifice over comfort. The song serves as both a mirror and a spiritual examination.
Eleyah also spoke candidly about one challenge he has faced as an artist openly addressing marital intimacy from a righteous perspective. He noted that many believers shy away from discussing the subject, even though it remains relevant within marriage and spiritual understanding. His willingness to address uncomfortable topics reflects his desire to speak truthfully rather than selectively.
When discussing inspiration, Eleyah credited artist Dominick Yahshem as someone whose music deeply impacted his writing journey. Though they never spoke personally, his lyrical ability and gift stirred something within him creatively and spiritually.
Despite growing into an artist, he remains intentional about humility. He shared that remembering where the gift comes from keeps him grounded. In his words, arrogance can easily appear if a person forgets that every talent comes from YAH and can be taken away at any time.
Looking ahead, Eleyah revealed that he has multiple singles on the way, collaborations with other artists, and an upcoming album titled Accountability. Above all, he expressed gratitude to YAH for trusting him with this gift and prayed that he continued to use it wisely.
“Thank you mom for this. You didn’t have to do it, but you did. Love, Eleyah Yisrael.”
His story is a reminder that music can be more than sound; it can become a call to repentance, healing, humility, and truth.
“I Can Through the Messiah”
So many people walk around speaking defeat over their own lives.
They say:
“I can’t do it.”
“I’m not smart enough.”
“I’ll never succeed.”
“People like me never make it.”
“I always fail.”
“I’m too old.”
“I’m too broken.”
“I’m not qualified.”
“I don’t have enough money.”
“Nobody believes in me.”
“I’m not strong enough.”
“I’ll never change.”
Yet the Word says:
“I can do all things through the Messiah who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13
If the Word says, “I can do all things,” then why do we allow ourselves or others to speak anything different over our lives?
Many people will hold onto negative words tighter than they hold onto truth. Someone can tell a person ten good things, but they will replay the one negative statement repeatedly in their mind. We often accept harsh thoughts quickly but question truth slowly.
Life is a movement of truth and trust.
The truth is that both good and evil exist. You can trust that both will present themselves throughout life. The truth is also that Yah gave us choices. Every decision carries a result, and eventually that result manifests.
“I can” is a choice.
“I can’t” is also a choice.
The one you continually feed is the one that grows.
What we put out is often what we receive back. If a person constantly says, “I can’t,” eventually they stop trying. But if a person believes, “I can,” they continue pressing forward despite difficulty.
Now that does not mean the journey will be easy.
You may have bumps, bruises, setbacks, delays, mistakes, and moments where you feel exhausted. But those moments are not proof that you cannot succeed. Trials and errors are often preparation for future obstacles. Experience teaches wisdom.
People say, “Nothing is perfect,” yet panic when they do not master something immediately. Growth takes time. Discipline takes time. Learning takes time.
Always remember:
You can… until you decide you can’t.
A baseball player may strike out many times before finally hitting a home run. Yet the moment that ball leaves the park, something changes in their mind. Now they know it is possible. And once something has been done once, it can be done again.
Practice, patience, and determination matter.
That is why we must be careful about saying “I can’t,” unless it concerns something we should avoid.
For example, a person may say:
“I can’t do drugs.”
That statement is both true and false.
It is true because they refuse the harmful effects and destruction attached to it. But technically, they could choose to do drugs if they wanted to. The real issue is choice and consequences.
Likewise, a person may fail the bar exam several times and still become an attorney. Failure was not proof they were incapable. It only meant they needed more preparation, more focus, more discipline, and greater determination.
The problem is not always inability.
Sometimes the problem surrenders to doubt.
Scripture teaches that a doubtful mind should not expect to receive anything from Yah. Doubt weakens confidence and interrupts faith.
“I can” and “I can’t” are both powerful depending on how they are used.
In the movie The Nutty Professor, Professor Klump repeatedly declared:
“Yes, I can! Yes, I can!”
Even though the situation felt difficult, he continued speaking instead of defeat.
But there is another important truth many people overlook.
The Messiah said:
“Without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:5
That means strength is not just about self-confidence. True strength comes through Yahawasha. Many people believe they accomplished things completely on their own, but if the Messiah says we can do nothing without Him, then we should examine carefully who or what empowered the outcome.
Remember when the adversary told the Messiah that he would give Him the kingdoms of the world if He would bow down? Power, success, wealth, and influence can come from different spirits and different paths. That is why discernment matters.
Not every door open came from Yah.
Not every success is righteous success.
The question is not only: “Did I accomplish it?”
The greater question is: “Who helped me accomplish it?”
When your mission is aligned with Yah, the burden changes. You are no longer trying to carry everything by yourself.
Ha’Kodesh Ra’ach strengthens, teaches, corrects, and guides you.
So, the next time fear tries to speak louder than truth, remember:
· You are not meant to walk in defeat.
· You are not supposed to live under constant doubt.
· Your past failures do not define your future possibilities.
· Delay does not mean denial.
· Preparation often comes before promotion.
· Speak life carefully.
Because eventually, your words begin shaping the direction of your thoughts, your actions, and your future.
Reflection Questions
What negative statements have I repeatedly spoken over my own life?
Why do people often believe negative words faster than truth?
Have I allowed other people’s opinions to define my confidence?
What is one area where I need to replace “I can’t” with “I can”?
Am I trying to accomplish things through my own strength or through Yah?
How has failure helped prepare me rather than destroy me?
What voices am I listening to daily?
Do my words produce faith, fear, hope, or defeat?
Q & A
Q: Does saying “I can” mean everything will happen immediately?
No. Faith still requires patience, discipline, wisdom, and endurance. Believing you can is the beginning, not the completion.
Q: What if I fail multiple times?
Failure does not automatically mean you are incapable. Sometimes failure exposes areas that still need growth and preparation.
Q: Can negative words really affect a person?
Yes. Words influence thoughts, emotions, confidence, and actions. Repeated negativity can create mental defeat before a person even begins.
Q: Why is depending on Yah important?
Because human strength is limited. Yahawasha teaches that true strength and fruitfulness come through remaining connected to Him.
Q: How do I stop doubting myself?
Replace repeated negative speech with truth from Scripture, remain disciplined, pray consistently, and stop allowing destructive voices to dominate your thinking.
Scenario 1 — The Student
A young woman desires to become a nurse. After failing an important exam twice, family members begin telling her:
“You’re wasting your time.”
“Maybe you’re not smart enough.”
“You should give up.”
For months she repeats those words to herself until she begins believing them. One day she decides to stop agreeing with defeat. She studies harder, prays more, changes her habits, and continues trying. Eventually she passes.
The issue was never that she couldn’t.
The issue was whether she would continue believing and persevering.
Lesson:
Failure is not always a final answer. Sometimes it is preparation.
Scenario 2 — The Business Owner
A man starts a small business. In the beginning nobody supports him. Sales are low, people mock his vision, and he begins saying:
“Maybe this isn’t for me.”
“I can’t do this.”
Instead of quitting, he seeks Yah for wisdom, learns from mistakes, improves his work, and remains consistent. Years later the same people who doubted him now admire the results.
Lesson:
Many people will speak according to what they currently see. Faith speaks according to what is possible through Yah.
Words of Correction: “Hard”
Words are powerful. They shape how we think, how we respond, and even how we endure trials. The tongue can build faith or strengthen fear. Many people constantly say,
“This is hard,” but what if the issue is not that it is hard what if it is unfamiliar?
Scripture does not teach us to live defeated by challenges. It teaches endurance, faith, patience, wisdom, and trust in Yah.
Obstacles are not proof that we are abandoned; they are often proof that we are being trained.
Life is spiritual warfare. A fighter does not enter the ring unprepared. They study their opponent, train consistently, learn discipline, and understand both strengths and weaknesses. Victory comes not only from fighting, but from preparation.
The same applies spiritually.
The enemy studies weakness, fear, discouragement, and doubt. But the believer is not defenseless. Yah gives wisdom, discernment, strength, and the Ruach HaKodesh to guide us through every battle. When we fail to recognize the nature of the fight, life can feel unbearable. But when we understand the opponent and rely on the Father, we learn how to endure and overcome.
The battle is unfair when fought in the flesh, but victory comes when fought in the spirit.
The Word teaches that Yah will not place more on us than we are able to bear, and She provides a way of escape. Trials are not meant to destroy us but to reveal endurance, obedience, and trust.
So why do we speak defeat over situations when the Father has already spoken strength?
Why do we repeat the language of fear instead of the language of faith?
If the enemy desires for us to feel overwhelmed, hopeless, and defeated, then constantly declaring “it’s too hard” becomes agreement with discouragement. But the Father calls us to gratitude, perseverance, and faith even in difficulty.
We are told to count it all joy when facing divers temptations because trials produce growth. Every obstacle becomes a test of trust.
We often master things connected to the flesh careers, entertainment, routines, and worldly systems yet struggle to discipline our spiritual speech. But the flesh wars against the spirit. What we repeatedly speak reveals what we are feeding.
Instead of:
“This is too hard.” Try:
“I am being trained.”
“Yah will strengthen me.”
“I can endure this test.”
“There is purpose in this season.”
“I will not fear what is temporary.”
Ponder On This
“Not my will, but Thy will be done.”
If the Father allowed the enemy to test you, how would you respond?
Would you fight with faith or fear?
