COME AND DRINK OF THIS WATER

Jesus came so that we can all have LIFE

in abundance. He gives Living Water to those who come to Him. We read
in John 4:13 Jesus said to the woman at the well: “whoever drinks
of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water
that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up
to eternal life.” Jesus was speaking of the Holy Spirit, that was
given on the day of Pentecost.

The Apostle Peter explained this is
what was spoken of through the prophet Joel:

      17‘AND
IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,’ God says,
            ‘THAT I WILL
POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND;
            AND
YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY,
            AND
YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS,
            AND
YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;

      18EVEN
ON MY BONDSLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN,
            I WILL
IN THOSE DAYS POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT
            And
they shall prophesy.

      19‘AND I WILL
GRANT WONDERS IN THE SKY ABOVE
            AND
SIGNS ON THE EARTH BELOW,
            BLOOD, AND
FIRE, AND VAPOR OF SMOKE.

      20‘THE
SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS
            AND
THE MOON INTO BLOOD,
            BEFORE
THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME.

      21‘AND
IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD
WILL BE SAVED.’ Acts 2:17-21.

Jesus is inviting everybody to come and
drink of the Living Water, not only to drink once but it becomes in
him a well of water springing up to eternal life. Jesus never changed
and His Holy Spirit never changes. It is not just a once off
experience. It grows and flows in and through those who keep on
drinking, keeping yearning for Jesus and keep on seeking Him, walking
with Him, following Him, praising Him.

How do you receive that Living Water?
The very same as those on the day of Pentecost. They asked Peter what
they should do to receive it, and he replied: ““Repent, and each
of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of
your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39“For
the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off,
as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.” Acts 2:38,39.

Are you thirsty and dry? Do you yearn
for the Living Water? Then do as Peter instructed, repent and be
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your
sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 

Come and drink of this water!

May Jesus bless you.

The Importance of Water Baptism

Water baptism is extremely
important to those who believe in Jesus and who want to follow Him.
However if you are not serious about following Jesus Christ, then
what a baptism makes no sense. To be baptized in water is our public
confession that we believe in Jesus and we obey Him; we have repented
of sin we have died to sin and to our own desires and we wish to live
for Jesus and therefore, by being baptized the old man of sin, that
we used to be, is buried under the water, and out of the water comes
a new man, our commitment to follow and obey Jesus Christ.

Water baptism is not about
the person doing the baptizing, but about the person being baptized.
It is his confession of his commitment to follow Jesus Christ. He has
been born again of the Spirit of God, because his heart has been
changed. He does not want to go after sin and the world, his own
pleasures, anymore. He's got a new heart he wants to follow Jesus.
The old man has died he is a new creature, and therefore in obedience
to Jesus he is baptized in water, to bury the old person of sin, that
he used to be. And out of that water comes the new born again
creature, a child of God, ready and eager to do the will of God,
eager to be filled with the Holy Spirit and be led by the Holy
Spirit. The born-again child of God wants to do the will of God, he
wants to live for Jesus Christ and therefore he is committed to obey
Jesus. He is eager to repent and be baptized in water, he's eager to
be filled with the Holy Spirit he is eager to be led by the Holy
Spirit and follow Jesus Christ. If you have not been born again, if
you have not had a change of heart and if you're not committed to
follow Jesus Christ until the very end, it makes no sense to get
baptized. You are wasting your time but if you want to follow Jesus,
you will be eager to be baptized because that is what He requires of
us to demonstrate our commitment to Him, and that He has given us new
life and we want to live that life for Him to please Him. That is
what water baptism is about. The truly born again a child of God
wants to be baptized in water and he's eager to live his life in
obedience to Jesus, to do His Master's will. If you are truly born
again you will not have a problem to get baptized. You will seek to
do everything that Jesus requires of you.

If you want to follow
Jesus, obey Him. Repent and be baptized, be filled with the Holy
Spirit and then seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit, seek Him every
day. Go after Him. Follow Him every day until the very end. If you
are not that serious about following Jesus, then don't bother because you
will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

May Jesus bless you.

Why you HAVE TO be baptized

To be baptized in water AFTER repentance, is a COMMANDMENT of Jesus Christ and an ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENT for salvation.
Jesus Christ Himself was baptized in water. John the Baptist was at first not willing to baptize Jesus. We read in Matthew 3:14,15.
 "14But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?” 15But Jesus answering said to him, “Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Then he permitted Him.'
To be baptized in water after believing in Jesus Christ, means to FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS because to be baptized in water is a COMMANDMENT that comes from God. Jesus Christ did not say or do anything on His own initiative. he came to do the will of the Father and thus He spoke the words of the Father.
We read in John 5:30 Jesus said:  “I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. "
We also read in John 8:28 Jesus said:" I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me."
Whatever Jesus commanded we have to DO to have eternal life. we have to OBEY Him.
We read in Matthew 28:19,20 Jesus commanded:  "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. "
Jesus Christ COMMANDED these things.
We read in Mark 16:15,16.
And He said to His disciples “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16“He who has believed AND HAS BEEN BAPTIZED shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned."
That is also the reason why many believers do not receive the Holy Spirit, because Jesus Christ gives His Holy Spirit to those who OBEY Him, who REPENT and who are BAPTIZED IN WATER.
We read the words of Peter in Acts 5:32 "And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who OBEY Him."
Have you OBEYED Jesus Christ since you believed? Did you REPENT of sin. Were you baptized in water and did you receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised to those who OBEY Him?
May Jesus bless you.

You HAVE TO BE BAPTIZED in Water to be Saved

You
HAVE TO be baptized in water AFTER BELIEVING in Jesus Christ and
repenting or else you WILL NOT enter the kingdom of heave, you will
not have salvation.

Infant
baptism is a doctrine from satan that will take many people to hell.
If you were baptized as a baby you were never baptized. You FIRST
have to believe in Jesus Christ, repent and OBEY Him, be baptized in
water or else you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus
Christ gave me a dream, a revelation about the importance of being
baptized in water. I made a video about it in September 2013 and I
attach it to this video:

I
dreamed of a long bridge over a large body of water but then somebody
came and they built a new layer on top of this bridge. This layer was
narrower than the original bridge. It was so wide that one car could
just about fit on top of it (originally two cars), but the layer did
not cover the entire length of the bridge. It was too short. As I
walked on this layer I saw that parts of it was crumbling. This
bridge was now useless. Somebody said to me:"This bridge is
still good." I said to him:"Have you seen what happens when
a car drives into the water?"

I woke
up and I prayed about the dream. I said:"Lord what is the
meaning of this dream?" I clearly heard these words:"They
REFUSE to be baptized in water." I clearly understood the
message. 

Many
people refuse to be baptized in water. They are using a bridge that
will not take them to the other side. If you disobey Jesus and you
refuse to be baptized in water you will not progress any further in
your relationship with Jesus and you will not have eternal life. You
will not enter the kingdom of Heaven.

May
Jesus bless you.  

New Life Begins

Water baptism is a public confession that a person has been born again by the power of God. If a person has not accepted Jesus Christ and been supernaturally changed, made new inside, then water baptism is senseless. Water baptism is the start of a NEW LIFE, the burial of the old person that I used to be and from that water proceeds a new man who does the will of God, who has no desire for the things of the world or for serving himself but only for serving the kingdom of God. If we have not been changed inside and been born again, become children of God who have a desire for the kingdom of God, then it is senseless to be baptized.

Many people are baptized because they believe that they will have eternal life if they are baptized and if they confess that they believe in Jesus Christ. Jesus said that unless a man is born of the Spirit and of water he cannot enter the kingdom of God. We have to be born of the Spirit of God, become a child of God, become NEW INSIDE and then water baptism is the outward demonstration of a new birth inside. If you have not had that experience with Jesus Christ where He has made you NEW INSIDE, where you have become a child of God with a desire for the kingdom of God then it is senseless to be baptized. Paul wrote that the old things have passed away, everything has become new.  If we have not been renewed with a passionate desire for Jesus Christ and His kingdom to live for Him, to serve Him, to die for Him, to DIE TO SIN and to live for Jesus Christ, then our baptism is senseless.

Many people go into the water a dry sinner and come out of the water a wet sinner and they just continue sinning because they are sinners. The have not been regenerated by the power of God , they have not been set free from the power of sin, they have not been born again, they have no desire for Jesus Christ, they just believe they have salvation but new life has not begun in them, they are still DEAD IN THEIR SINS.

If we have not DIED TO SIN , to our own desires and your old life of selfishness and not been born again by the Spirit of God, so that we have a desire for that which is righteous and holy and pleasing to God, to seek and to build His kingdom, then baptism is senseless, then new life has not begun, we are still dead in our sins.

Have you been born again by the power of God and have you therefor publicly demonstrated through water baptism that you are  A NEW MAN, you are BORN AGAIN of the Spirit of God and of water, you are a child of God? Or are you still dead in your sins?  If you are not born again you cannot enter the kingdom of God. Has new life begun for you? Are you living a life that is pleasing to God? Are you IN Christ, a new man? Or are you still dead in your sins?

May Jesus bless you.

You HAVE TO go through the water

If you want to have eternal life and NOT perish in hell when you die then you HAVE TO follow and OBEY Jesus Christ. Once you have made up your mind to follow Jesus Christ and you have turned away from your futile lifestyle, the FIRST STEP that you take in obeying Jesus is to FOLLOW HIM through the WATERS OF BAPTISM for the washing off of your sins.

Most professing Christians have never taken that FIRST STEP, they have never gone through the water. If you refuse to follow Jesus through the water, you cannot follow Him, you will not receive the Holy Spirit. Jesus gives His Holy Spirit in those who HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED so that they can FOLLOW Him and so that they can HEAR HIS VOICE and be led by the Holy Spirit.

Attending a church, studying a Bible, associating with other Christians will not save you, you HAVE TO BE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, you have to FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST and the FIRST STEP that you take is to FOLLOW HIM THROUGH THE WATER. You have to be baptized for the WASHING OFF OF YOUR SIN. If you are not willing to follow Him through the water you cannot follow Him and you will not receive the Holy Spirit.

Nobody else can do it for you, parents cannot baptize their babies for salvation. You have to follow Jesus YOURSELF, by YOUR OWN DECISION. AFTER you HAVE REPENTED you must FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST THROUGH THE WATER. Be baptized in water and then HE will BAPTIZE YOU IN THE HOLY SPIRIT and He will give you the POWER the GUIDANCE to DO what He has called to you do. If you refuse to follow Him through the water you will not receive the Holy Spirit and you will not be guided by His Spirit because you refused to follow Him THROUGH THE WATER in the first place.

Have you started following Jesus? Have you gone THROUGH THE WATER?

May Jesus bless you.

Bearing Fruit 12 months a year

Jesus Christ called us to bear good fruit, to bear fruit that will give glory to God our Father. If we are IN CHRIST, born again and following Jesus we will bear good fruit 12 months a year, 365 days a year, without fail. It does not matter what the season is, the economy does not affect us, our circumstances do not affect us because those who are planted by Jesus, are planted next to the STREAM OF THE RIVER OF LIFE that FLOWS FROM THE THRONE OF GOD, they bear fruit twelve months a year and they glorify God their Father.

Jesus said that every branch in Him that does not bear good fruit will get cut off and burned. He said that every tree that does not bear good fruit will get cut off and the ax is already lying at the root of the trees. Many who profess to be children of God are not bearing good fruit, they are bad trees and they will get cut off.

Every branch that bears good fruit will be pruned so that it can bear more fruit, but it will bear fruit if it is IN CHRIST. That is our purpose, it is to bear good fruit. If we do not bear good fruit we will certainly get cut off.

Are we bearing good fruit? Are we thereby proving to be children of God and thereby bringing glory to our Father EVERY DAY, regardless of circumstances? Are we GOOD TREES, planted by the Master?

May Jesus bless you.

Why you MUST be BAPTIZED after REPENTING

God JUSTIFIES those who OBEY Him. He takes away the guilt of their sin and He brings them into His presence, into His kingdom. Jesus Christ came to give us the example and the Words of God, the Words of Eternal life.

Jesus Himself was baptized in water. When He came to John the Baptist to be baptized John, who knew who He was, at first did not want to baptize Him. (Matthew 3:14,15) He said:”Lord, I have need to be baptized by You and now You come to me to be baptized.” But Jesus insisted and said:”Allow it TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS.”

To be baptized in water AFTER REPENTANCE is an INSTRUCTION from God, a COMMAND. If we do not OBEY the words of Jesus, which are the WORDS OF GOD, and are baptized in water for the washing off of our sin AFTER REPENTANCE then we will not have eternal life, we will not be justified. We have to FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS to be JUSTIFIED by God.

Have you obeyed the words of God? Have you REPENTED and been BAPTIZED IN WATER? Or are you REBELLING against God? Are you in DISOBEDIENCE because then you will perish. Obey Jesus and LIVE! If you do not OBEY His words YOU WILL PERISH.

May Jesus bless you.

Repent AND be Baptized OR YOU WILL PERISH

Jesus Christ commanded that all those who follow Him must REPENT and BE BAPTIZED in water. He commanded the disciples to preach the gospel and all those who HAVE BELIEVED and HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED will be saved but those who have not believed will be condemned. (Mark 16:16)
If you want eternal life you have to OBEY Jesus Christ. You HAVE TO REPENT and you HAVE TO be BAPTIZED IN WATER.
I was baptized at the age of five on my own insistence. The church that my parents attended at the time refused to baptize me, they said I was too young. But I said to the pastor:”If you refuse to baptize me and I die and I end up in hell, then you will be to blame.” So they baptized me.
There will be NO EXCUSE for anybody who disobeys Jesus Christ. If you want eternal life you have to OBEY Jesus Christ. He said:”If you love me, OBEY My commands, DO WHAT I SAY.” If you want eternal life you have to REPENT, STOP SINNING, be BAPTIZED IN WATER, FOLLOW and OBEY Jesus Christ, ASK Him for the Holy Spirit to be with you, to GUIDE you and to TEACH you, but you have to FOLLOW Him and OBEY Him.
If you believe in Jesus Christ you will OBEY Him and DO what He commanded us to do, or else YOU WILL PERISH.

May Jesus bless you.
