Little less than an hour ago, for the first time in my life. I have just been baptized not once but twice, since I wasn't fully submerged under water with the first attempt.
After I was finished being baptized, I felt completely invigorated and really cleansed by Him both spiritually and physically.
Like I really never felt anything like it before, it's only God Himself who can do this miracle and no one else can preform such.
No more of the sins that I committed shall bare any mark or does any shame remain within me, since they are now washed away forever.
Before I did get baptized, I already had relationship with God ever since I was a very young kid so basically 20+ years but haven't baptized yet until today.
Admittedly, I initially didn't have the intention to get baptized three weeks ago. I know it was God Himself had destined for me to get baptized today.
Unitially I wanted to get baptized on my own timing, since as of right now my life has gotten pretty busy and whatnot.
But it turns out, this was done sooner than I even expected myself, since it's always according to His Timing and Purposes than of oneself.
If anyone else here hasn't gotten baptized yet, you should do it as I encourage you. God takes the sins of the world away and forgives all your iniquities and washes you white like snow, is it better to live and die for Christ than for your own personal gain.
Well friends I hope you have an amazing weekend, God is great and always mighty to save those who call upon on His Name.
I'll see you guys when I can post, until then God be with you always.
Ave Christ and All Glory To Him! Amen!
Baptism an outward expression of an inward work. The old man (the old you) stays in the water, with all its past sin, a picture of dying to oneself, then coming out of the water, a picture of being raised a new person in Christ Jesus.(Romans 6:8) " Old things have passed away, behold all things have become new"(2 Corinthians 5 5:14-21) Saul becomes Paul. Paul received his new name, we will receive our new name on that day.(Revelations 14:7) "And they shall see His face and His name shall be on their foreheads"(Revelations 22:4) So powerful and permanent is this change, that the Apostle Paul before he was converted and was still Saul (he) dragged Christians into jail and was there consenting to the stoning death of Steven, yet after his conversion and baptism, Paul wrote the church and said receive us we've wrong no man, how could Paul say that, he had blood on his hands, but yes, Paul could say that with a perfect a conscience, knowing he was not the same person anymore, a new life had begun, all his sins were washed away as if they had never happened. Paul went from persecuting Christians, to dying for the gospel. Paul wrote "I am persuaded dear brothers to know nothing among you, except Jesus Christ and him crucified"(1 Corinthians 2:2) "Whom the Son sets free is free indeed"( John 8:36) it's the freedom that you are now experiencing and expressing to us. My spirit rejoices with you. No one can (now) separate you from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus. 🙏
