Renewed my baptism in Christ Jesus

Repent believe and be baptized. Not Be baptized repent and believe.

I once was baptized when I was 26 years old. I was also baptized as a baby. This was the wrong way around to do things. I didn’t accept Jesus as my savior , I put my hand up to be saved but didn’t know that I had to stop striving to be saved and accept that I was saved. This caused many years of confusion and suffering. I figured out that I didn’t need to do anything to be saved and that Jesus did it all for me. So about a year after I was baptized the second time I accepted Jesus’s finished work on the cross. That was 20 years ago.

Today I sealed it with a baptism by being immersed in water. Today I obeyed the word of God. Before I was responding to a guilt trip. Shame on the pastor who preached such hog wash to me before. Now I understand better and was willing to be baptized. I felt like I came home today. I am over the finish line. From now on I walk in total victory. Not that I didn’t walk in His victory before today but I didn’t seal it by obeying the word of God. I am from above , a King in the eyes of God. I am righteous because today I identified with what Jesus did for me on the cross.

It matters not that I preached to you before. What I preached is still valid and I believed and lived it with every fiber of my being. And I stand by the fact that all you need to do is believe. Jesus fulfilled all righteousness for me even being baptized for me. So to those who simply believe, you’re still going to heaven.

I feel so relaxed now. The Kingdom of heaven is within. You too can be saved and your conscience be made clean before God by accepting that Jesus died for your sins and rose again. You don’t need to stress to impress God . Jesus paid for every mistake you’re even going to make. You can be righteous too. Accept His offer of salvation. Forget trying to join clubs or being invited into some kind of fraternity . Step into Christ by receiving what Jesus did for us. He died for you and rose from that death for your justification meaning , you are set free from all guilt. He justified you by coming back from the dead. This means it’s just as if you didn’t sin.

Still Standing

Do you understand that all you have to do is trust what He did ? you don’t have to walk around with a religious mindset wondering if you’re being watched to see what mistakes you’re making or not making. You too can have eternal life by simply trusting what Jesus did for you. You can become a new creation in Christ Jesus.

Enjoy.

Yours in His Service

Prudence

There is a word I stumbled on , that I usually just read over but don’t pay much attention to. That word is prudence. Prudence according to collins dictionary  is :

prudent

(pruːdənt  )

adjective

Someone who is prudent is sensible and careful.
It is always prudent to start any exercise programme gradually at first.
Being a prudent and cautious person, you realise that the problem must be resolved.

prudently  adverb [usually ADVERB with verb]

I believe it is essential that we act prudently.
Prudently, Joanna spoke none of this aloud.

So showing care and thought for the future is to be prudent

prudence
ˈpruːd(ə)ns/Submit
noun
noun: prudence; plural noun: prudences
the quality of being prudent; cautiousness.
“we need to exercise prudence in such important matters”
synonyms: wisdom, judgement, good judgement, judiciousness, sagacity, shrewdness, advisability, common sense, sense More
antonyms: folly, recklessness

The interesting thing about the use of the word prudence is that it’s use has declined throughout the last two hundred years.

I was reading proverbs 7 and 8 and discovered ” I prudence dwell with wisdom ” .

Proverbs 8:12 King James Version (KJV)

12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

Isn’t it interesting ? I used to say , ” I am slow , thoughtful and circumspect ” . And I prided myself on it. But lately , with all the internet convenience and rush to see that latest post by so and so..I’ve progressively become less and less prudent. I think the whole reason why there is a decline in moral values is because people are less and less prudent. They act without thinking of the consequences of their actions. We surely must take heed to the trend. We need wisdom now more than ever.

And good wisdom is always used in conjunction with prudence.  We need to fear the consequence of our actions enough to be prudent. Now I am not saying that you all are not prudent. I think that you’re all great people. But isn’t it time we stood back long enough to see ourselves in the mirror and acknowledge who we see standing there ? ”  And make that change ? ” – to quote Michael Jackson.

Viewer from Greece

I had a viewer to my blog from Greece today. I think it was my sister. Well at any rate. Here’s the proof .

I found my identity in Christ

So I was thinking , Right , and these days it doesn’t happen too often but yeah , was thinking.

I decided when I was in standard 4 that I wanted to be a doctor. I told my school teacher. Before I could realize it I was called to the principals office and was told that I am too stupid to be a doctor. I remember saying ” I am only 10 ” ..I have my entire school career left to make my marks better. But she insisted that I am too stupid to be a doctor. So I asked her if I could be a dentist and she told me that dentists and doctors study the same things and I am not clever enough for that either.

The reason why I thought I’d make a good doctor was because my marks had improved significantly since I was in standard two. I really thought I could do it. I decided to study harder to make my marks good enough to be a doctor. I could not get into the top 20 of my standard all the time I was in high school. It was devastating to my aspirations to be a doctor.

But here’s the deal. The only reason I studied harder in the first place  ,before I told the teacher I wanted to be a doctor , was because I had shamed my parents by stealing a radio controlled car from a toy store. I was caught and so I decided that I was a bad boy and I needed to study harder to make my parents proud of me. And why had I stolen the toy car ? I believed I wasn’t loved enough by my father and thought I’d steal my own toys seeing as how he never wanted to buy me any. So what I really wanted was my dad’s love. I was working for love. This is what I was doing.

And so …many many years later I remembered the words of Jesus . He said ” whoever wants to save his life will lose it and whoever wants to lose his life will save it. ” And so.. I went to a garden and pondered on these words and I realized what they meant was that I had to let go. And so I did let go. Over the course of the following three days I let go. At the end of the third day I found the biggest love enter into me. I was filled with love and then I realized that there isn’t anything wrong with my life and that I had found who I am in Christ. My new identity is LOVE , I had found my father.

So really , becoming a doctor wasn’t what I was after. I was after what was there all along and I have the perfect identity in Him anyway. We are not called to become doctors , we are called to become Christ.

 

Being around negativity

Have you ever had someone around you that’s so negative that there wouldn’t be anyone in the world who would willingly want to live with them ?

I have such a person in my life. Around every turn they want to give up. They start at the crack of dawn and don’t stop till it’s evening. I have really had my hands full with this non sense . I went forward for prayer yesterday just to be able to say that I’ve at least tried this as well . I can’t anymore. This is just the place where God wants me. He wants me to be in a place where I realize that I can’t anymore without His help. 

I rely on him every day for that extra inspiration or little something that would make it possible for this person to be helped along in life. And it’s true. Without God I can do nothing. I can’t inspire anyone even myself. I am extending my sympathies to those who have experienced something similar. If there is anyone out there who has experienced something similar please accept my prayer for you.

And my prayer for you is this :

Lord Grant those who read this the peace to endure what they need to ,

The ability to encourage where they can ,

The wisdom to know how to handle those in their lives who are like this ,

And your special anointing to bring healing in body mind and spirit.

Amen.

Prophetic action or literal project ?

I had a massive dream when I started blogging good news. Now I see that perhaps it was just a prophecy of what is to come. I see movies being made of the entire bible so that people won’t have to read it anymore. I thought that the money to create these movies would come from you the people supporting this network. But I see now that it is already in the making and Mel Gibson has the inside track on this.

So perhaps , all this is just a prophetic action of something that is already happening in the Spirit. None the less , it has been a challenge to get this multisite up running. I’d like to have made public the vision through my own face appearing on a youtube video or two but I have a serious headache on the right hand side of my head. It limits my speech and I feel self conscious about it. I pray that God would relieve me of this pain through being able to express myself here and through art.

I wish that all the visions I have received could be manifested on earth like the building of orphanages from support given to this network , where I could film the building of these safe houses so people can trust that their support was stuwarded well . Or perhaps this is just another prophetic word going out. Hospitals too.

I don’t know how to get this ball rolling. I have too much personal anguish that limits me. I risk everything to get this on the ground and I am sorry to admit that my fear is perhaps bigger than my faith. I have a level of faith , that keeps me flying around churches observing people where I keep this vision bottled up inside me. I don’t know if I’ll ever be given the opportunity to let it out , so that people can see the beauty of it.

And I keep attracting women who’s only intent is to use me for their own gain , not to support the vision God has given me. Makes me sick to even think about it. I am so naive . I believe that they’re good people but when I look again they’re just stumbling blocks in my life.

I hope I can at least experience some of the manifestation of this dream in this life time. But to do that I’ll need a whole new way to receive and manage funding for this project. It’s complicated and I am in much danger.

Can these dry bones live ? Perhaps in Christ only. Any other way it won’t work. I always wonder about the how to make something work. I just wish I could get it all to work.

Hopelessness vs Hope

I remember a while ago , I said ” Hopelessness vs hope ” Bring on the challenge. And so it happened.

My dad died after overcoming blindness. And now my mother wants to commit suicide every other day. It’s a mission just to keep her alive. I can’t believe this is my mother. I wonder what God is trying to teach me here and don’t tell me that I challenged the devil and I shouldn’t . We’ve already overcome the world in Christ Jesus. There is nothing to do in the face of evil except to remain in the secret place of His victory. The devil is defeated. He doesn’t have a right in my life. And no.. don’t come and tell me about legal rights etc etc. People try to complicate life too much. 

I managed to work through some issues I’ve had with two of my PC’s . Installing a liquid cooler in the one and upgrading it’s case and installing a graphics card in the other and a CPU fan. But guess what ? I am still up and running. Praise God for his continued faithfulness.

At some point the prophetic words that were spoken over my life will manifest and I’ll savor every moment of it. While my ex boss and people who’ve hurt me stand in awe because they totally misjudged me. I was never malicious , I was just principled and you didn’t get me. It’s sad to be on the receiving end of people’s bad natures but the wheel does turn. And then I am gonna show mercy because Jesus showed me mercy . I will win you into the Christ through Christ. I have a living Hope. He is ever with me. Amen.

Recently I have been watching historical movies of Alexander the great , napoleon and the shroud of Turin. We are truly blessed to have free access to such good quality documentaries. The shroud of Turin really blessed me and re-inforced my faith in Jesus Christ. Hope restored.

SpaceX

I am just in awe of what Elon Musk has managed to do. The safe return of the booster rockets to earth is such an inspiration for people who love to make things happen. Well done Elon !

 

Life Challenge

Life is a challenge ,

We sometimes think we know it all but really we don’t. We can make a choice to live this life or move on to the next one. No body is forced to stay here. If you know of someone who is alive now that you should be loving , reach out to them regardless of how you feel . The opportunity may pass and then it’s too late. Because let’s face it , when someone dies you don’t know they’re listening. Tell them now when it counts. 

If you can’t chose to live at least don’t chose to die. Just focus on Jesus , He trusted God. Don’t give up. Don’t think life is all negative and not worth living. Be a human being , Just Be .

We all have people in our lives that forget about us. People drift in and out of our lives. If someone hurt you , forget about them . Most of the hurts we’ve experienced have been because we’re too sensitive. Our attitude was wrong. We must first seek to understand and then to be understood. Don’t think that people will understand you all the time. Just try and understand them.

I wish I could reach down into everyone’s heart and apply some healing balm. So much nastiness in this world. So much selfishness. People are so worried about the future that they’ve forgotten about the present. Live here, live now. Don’t think it’s going to be better only if this happens or that happens. You’ll miss it.

I am so weary and tired but I know somewhere in the future I look much better than I look right now. Blessed are the poor in Spirit. For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. We don’t have to have the best attitude out there. We only need to be ourselves , God loves us just as we are. Please accept His invitation and Trust Him. And don’t let anyone misrepresent Him to you. Don’t think that people who’ve been going to church for 1011 years know any better than you do. Sometimes they know nothing.

Open your heart today to His forgiveness and Love. Why should I be forgiven you say ? Because you’ve been focused on how little God loves you. Stop today . This day , make a fresh start. Believe. You’ve been challenged with the life you’ve been given. Live it, embrace it , and present to us the best version you can possibly be. We need you.

There are things that only you can do , that no one else can . We have been tasked with the little things and the great things. But don’t underestimate the power of the little things. A little thing can change someone’s life forever. Just a simple smile can change a person’s life . I know you’ve heard this before. I was once in the dumps for months until a man at a movie theater smiled at me when he saw me. That lifted me and sustained me.

Look at the Sun , and know that you’re casting a good shadow. Don’t work on your shadow and forget the sun.

God’s joy

I woke up one morning and felt like I had a flue and was, as you can imagine, feeling weak and struggling to focus. I went to work and I was asked to help someone carry a table; and as I did, I felt this pain in my lower back. I don’t know why I felt pain but it was there and it was bothering me so much that I asked if I could go home earlier, but they didn’t allow it for different reasons. I was told to take a chaire to sit on and do my work. At first it seemed unfair to me that I had to continue working, so I prayed; but something happened after I asked God to take the pain away. I experienced His joy while at work but still having the pain. With His joy I was helping customers and was able to think straight and assisted how ever I could; it was as if the pain wasn’t there anymore. That was when I realized the fact that God is all that you need, when God is all that you have. Hallelujah!
