Be Baptized Now

Last night I had a very restless sleep.An urgency in my spirit would not allow full rest. It seems that Jesus our Savior is indeed on His way to earth to catch away those waiting and watching for Him. Being born again is great but there must be a following into baptism by immersion signifying the Lord's death and burial and coming up out of the water as in His resurrection.

How many, many born again of the spirit ones have not went forward to be dunked in obedience to Christ? If it were not important surely Jesus would not have required it of us. Where do we get off making the rules? The message I received in that night was to tell others to take action and be baptized as I had already done many years ago as a teen.In Matthew's gospel chapter 28 our Lord Jesus gave plain instructions.
18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

All things like loving others as yourself after loving God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. We can only love our enemies with His presence in us as He is love.
Where can we be baptized? Any pool of water or tank or muddy river is fine. I myself was guided under the water in a little lake in my hometown as were my four children twenty years later. When can we be baptized? As soon as possible is the best time and apparently sooner than soon now.(urgent command)Who can do the baptisms? Those who have themselves been baptized and who are wise in winning souls to Jesus the Christ.Who can be baptized in water by immersion? Anyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ the Son of the living God is called to be baptized as is illustrated by Philip and the treasurer of Queen Candace.Acts 8:26
And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians,who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.30And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer,so opened he not his mouth:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture,and preached unto him Jesus.36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water:and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

So I urgently cry out to everyone to get ready for the coming of Jesus by obeying His will,way and plan for His church. Be baptized in the name (presence) of the Father God, the Son Jesus, and His Holy Spirit. Amen

ONE AND ONLY ONE GOD

One and Only One God
Have you ever wondered how simple life could be if there was only
one God? Considering how many, many opinionated voices there
are in this life wouldn't it be awesome to you to know that there is
only one you must heed to enjoy life here and now?
When I read a portion of script written for me by the Lord of Glory
through a prophet man named Isaiah over two thousand years ago,
I marveled. It was such an incredible truth that I dearly needed to
know for sure and for certain.Being tired, overwhelmed and confused is not what I call real
living. Having to follow directions just to be told further down the
road that 'no that was misdirection' is so time consuming and
frustrating. The truth you know absolutely sets you free to get on
with your journey in this life and the life to come. So here is that 'yes, this is the way,walk in it'. In Isaiah 44:6-9 in the Holy Bible (Amplified)
6Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and
his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: I am the First and I am the Last;
besides Me there is no God.(B)
7Who is like Me? Let him [stand and] proclaim it, declare it, and
set [his proofs] in order before Me, since I made and established
the people of antiquity. [Who has announced from of old] the things
that are coming? Then let them declare yet future things.
8Fear not, nor be afraid [in the coming violent upheavals]; have
I not told it to you from of old and declared it? And you are My
witnesses! Is there a God besides Me? There is no [other] Rock; I
know not any.
9All who make graven idols are confusion, chaos, and
worthlessness. Their objects (idols) in which they delight do not
profit them, and their own witnesses (worshipers) do not see or
know, so that they are put to shame.

In Isaiah 44 in this particular portion I delight to accept His word on
it that I need not fear or be afraid of offending any other God as
they are man made. There will be no God Wars coming or any other
judges over us. He is our sole provider and the only one to whom
we must give account of the deeds we do.
In our day when there are so many divorces and remarriages our
children know firstand what it is like to have to answer to more
parents, step parents, and live in boyfriends and girlfriends as well
as grandparents and step grandparents, not to mention all the older
step siblings and aunts, uncles cousins etc.. These kids are deeply
impacted and their lives are too complicated for them to handle.

I have seven grandchildren who are heavily under these
circumstances with no let up. Life is not simple to them.Their hearts
have been broken at a young age. Their dreams are shattered and
hopelessness fills them at times.Multiple marriages open the children up to more abuses, more
confusions, and more spoiling on special occasions when one parent
tries to outdo the other part time parent. They are torn between
families and bosses. Their futures call to them to escape, run away,
find a place of peace.
So it is when one has way too many gods to please or appease.
That constant feeling of being watched by gods all around them
leaves them feeling very uptight and nervous. Some choose to
believe that there is no God. That is their escape.
I thank God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost that this wonderful
news has reached me and can touch your life too with a knowing
we can trust and rely on one true and living God. What a relief for
all mankind!

What Will it Take for us to Believe?

God's prophet Elijah said it ain't gonna rain no more, no more and it did not. A drought ensued.
God said go and stay by the brook Cherith before the Jordan and I will cause the ravens to feed you flesh and bread each morning and each evening.
When the brook dried up because the drought lasted a long time, about 3 years. God told Elijah to go to a widow in Zarephath and she would look after him.
Elijah obeyed God and the women met him at the city gate. She obeyed Elijah as a prophet of God and lived out the drought with the miracles of never ending oil and meal.
During Elijah's stay with her household her little son died of an illness. After Elijah prayed and God gave the boy back his life, the widowed mother declared her belief in Elijah as that was proof enough. 1Kings 17: 23 &24
23 And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, “See, your son lives!”
24 Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now by this I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is the truth.”

The same thing happened in Jesus' ministry on the earth. People saw his miracles of healing and provision but failed to believe in Him until they saw Him risen from the dead. Thomas is the example of this in John 20 24- 29
24 Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.”
So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”
26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”
28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”


My sincere hope is that we will not wait to believe Him only by seeing a resurection from the dead as that is not a common occurrence. It is happening sporadically here and there in this earth but it never hits the global news as it should.

Doubt your doubts is good advice. Believe your beliefs in a big and huge way. Expect miracles for sure but believe in the miracle worker Jesus the Christ the Son of the living and true God of all.
