About DeVora
DeVora grew up in a Boston Catholic home. She believed in God, but she just didn't know Him.
DeVora says, "As a child, I would stand in line to receive communion at St. Mary's Immaculate Conception Church in Marlborough, Massachusetts. I would hear a certain hymn while I was in that line as a young girl, and it would touch my heart with such a profound love that I would start to weep. It embarrassed me because I'd be the only one standing in line weeping as I waited to receive the Eucharist. I tried to hide my tears because Catholics didn't cry in public, and my mother always told me that crying was a sign of weakness. There would be this internal battle going on inside of me as I inched my way toward the altar, head hung low in shame because I couldn't stop the tears that were streaming down my cheeks. I didn't understand what was happening to me.
After I received the communion wafer, I would experience great relief because that emotional feeling would subside ... until the following Sunday.
Looking back, I now understand that it was the Holy Spirit calling me into the sheepfold of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. God our Father has a mighty arm! There is no place that He cannot reach His children, even when they don't yet know Him. I am so grateful to God for calling me back into His loving arms through Jesus Christ. Now, I cry tears of JOY for my Salvation, unashamedly.
HalleluYAH to the Lamb of God!"
DeVora begins offering praise concerts with her husband, Rabbi Marty Cohen, in the Fort Worth, Texas, area, with the release of her new eBook, Spirit-Filled Israel: SPEAK THE WORD.
