Baptism with Fire to Complete Regeneration

The believers journey begins with baby steps and grows into fullness when we seek God daily.


He will Transform you!

Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Luke 3:16 John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Matthew 19:28 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Titus 3:5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

When you pray ask God to Baptize you!

In the coming days without this you will be like a one legged man with one arm tied behind your back as you enter the spiritual war against principalities and powers of darkness.

Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Colossians 1:16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.


Colossians 2:15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost, and these three are one




We are created in His image/likeness, Body, Soul, and Spirit


Genesis 1:27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

The believers journey starts here.

Do you know Jesus? Why do you need to know Him? You were born under Adams seed and he was fallen from Grace, as a result you were born into a fallen state by being his descendant. You have a choice to stay as you are and do nothing or you can choose freedom in Christ simply by asking Jesus for His free gift of Salvation.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might saved.

John 3:18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Ask Him Now.

Father I have sinned and fallen short by birth, I repent of my sin and ask Your forgiveness in Jesus name. I believe in Your only begotten Son Jesus Christ and that He died for my sins, was buried and rose again to eternal life. I ask you Lord Jesus to please come into my heart and save me.

Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Welcome to our family. 

Next: Step one would be getting to know Him and I recommend the Gospel of John.

Step two is Water Baptism.


Dead to Sin, Alive to God

Romans 6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 
2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 
3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 
4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 
5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 
6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 
7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 
9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 
10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 
11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Baptism is your opportunity to join your confession and belief with your actual burial with Christ in the likeness of His death by immersion in the water and rising again in new life in Him.

When I was baptized 40 years ago I could not find a church that was willing to do it because I was not a member. My friend and brother in Christ baptized me in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost in his backyard pool in front of his family. When I rose up out of the water a white dove descended in our midst and landed on the edge of the pool, it was awesome!

The Lord baptized me with the Holy Ghost and Fire while I was walking down a path in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam war. Wow! 

Be sure to go back to the top of this post and ask God to baptize you with the Holy Ghost and Fire, it's life changing! It will empower you to face the days that are coming and then the Holy Ghost will be able to lead you to completion of the regeneration process. He will anoint you so that you may learn all things by the Holy Ghost's guidance.

1 John 2:27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

Run a good race to the finish and I'll see you in Glory!

Be blessed take action today!

Remember religion=bondage and relationship=freedom. Christ in your life is freedom!
