WE ARE A PEOPLE REDEEMED
WITH THE BLOOD OF
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

Valencia, Venezuela
Good morning Miguel and thank you very much, good morning dear friends and the brothers present and the ministers of the different places of the Republic of Venezuela, and also of the different countries in the Minister’s Congress of this past Friday and Saturday, and today are gathered in this general activity to give thanks to God and to hear His Word, we gather together to give thanks to God and to ask Him for His blessings upon all of you present and upon me too. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
And to those that are through the telephone line, through internet or through the satellite Amaquzonas, in the different nations; may God bless greatly all those that are through the satellite and other means of communication in the different Churches of the different countries.
Today we read a Scripture very known by everyone, which is found in St. John chapter, 10, verse 9, and on, where it says:
“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
The hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay my life down for the sheep.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and permit us to understand It.
Our topic for this occasion is the topic that the Congress of Ministers had: “WE ARE A PEOPLE REDEEMED WITH THE BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.”
A people redeemed with the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is also called a spiritual Temple. The apostle Paul, a knowledgeable person about this topic and a faithful preacher of the Gospel of Christ, tells us in Ephesians chapter, 2, verse 11, and on:
“Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
that at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealt of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
but now, in Christ Jesus, ye who sometime were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
having abolished in his flesh (
here it shows us that from both people He has made one)…” the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
and that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby;
and came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.”
Remember the words of Christ in St. John chapter, 14, verse 6: “I am the way, the truth and the life; and no man comes to the Father but by me,” and here it tells us that we have access unto the Father by one Spirit:
“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone;
in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord.”
Here, this family of God, which are the believers in Christ, those persons are being placed in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which the spiritual Temple of Christ as a Church, and each believer in Christ is being built as a spiritual temple as individual; each believer in Christ is a temple of God as an individual.
St. Paul said: “Do you know not that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” This is in accord with the words of Jesus in chapter 2, of St. John, when standing before the temple in Jerusalem, along with His disciples, the Jews asked Him for a sign from Heaven, and notice what took place there, chapter 2, verse 17, and on, says:
“And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
Then answered the Jews (
this happened when He took out the merchants from the temple)…and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
But he spake of the temple of his body.”
In other words, He was speaking of the temple of flesh, which was Himself, which would be destroyed physically when He died being crucified later on, but then, within three days, at the third day, He would be raised, would resurrect; because the Temple of God, the Temple in Whom God dwelt in all His fullness has a Name: Lord Jesus Christ, and consequently the believers in Christ which form His Church, His Church is a spiritual Temple composed by the believers in Christ in dwell the presence of Christ in Holy Spirit. Christ said: “I will be with you always until the end of the world.” (St. Matthew chapter 28, verse 20). Therefore, we have to understand that not only a building of wood, metal, or of concrete or any other material is called a temple if it is to worship God, but also the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ Itself, in the Bible is called ‘the Temple of God.’
Watch what St. Paul tells us, who speaks a lot about the Church and was placed as an apostle in the Church, and he was also the messenger or apostle for the Gentiles; so that we may have a clear picture of who is and what is the Church before God, and the respect that every person and every nation should have in regards to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, let us see what the apostle Paul says in First of Timothy chapter 3, verse 14, and on:
“These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
but if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oghtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.”
Notice, the Church is the House of God, the Church is…the Church of the living God is the pillar and ground of the truth; by means of the Gospel of Christ is made known the divine truth to all the human beings, the truth of the Gospel, the truth which is Christ. And now it says:
“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh…”
In other words, God became manifest in the veil of flesh named Jesus, He was Immanuel, which means, ‘God with us,’ according to Isaiah chapter 7, verse 14, and also in the Gospel according St. Matthew.
And now, we have seen that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is the House of God, It is a Temple of God, It is pillar and ground of truth: the divine Truth is Christ revealed in His Church.
Science is searching for the origin of creation, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has the divine revelation of the origin of the creation, it is in the Bible, which is the most important Book of the planet Earth and the Church has It: the Old and New Testament, which is the same Book of the Jews: for them the Torah, the Old Testament; and now along with the New Testament they are found in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ to make known the divine truth of salvation and eternal Life to the human being.
Speaking in Hebrews also the apostle Paul in chapter 3, he says about the Church and about Christ in the following manner, and we will read it so that we may have a clear picture of what is and who is the people redeemed with the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Chapter 3, verses 1, to 6, of the book of Hebrews, says:
“Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus.”
Here it shows us that the call which we have received has come from God, it is a call from Heaven, that’s why St. Paul would say: “I was not rebellious to the heavenly vision.” Therefore, when you received Christ as Savior by hearing the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, you have heard the heavenly call and have answered by coming to the Feet of Christ and receiving Him as only and sufficient Savior, and thus you have been placed in heavenly places with Jesus Christ our Savior, you have entered into the stage of a new creation that Christ is carrying out by means of His Holy Spirit in the midst of the human race, and has been producing the new birth in millions of human beings that have received Him as only and sufficient Savior.
It is a Program of Salvation and eternal Life, the Program of Redemption, which Christ is carrying out since His death at Calvary’s Cross up to the present, and above all from the Day of Pentecost to the present, and millions of human beings are being born in the Kingdom of God and consequently the family of God, the sons and daughters of God are being multiplied in the Kingdom of God.
Christ said to Nicodemus: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, that whoever is not born of the Water and of the Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.” To be born of the Water is to be born of the Gospel of Christ, from the Word, and to be born of the Spirit is to be born of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and there the person obtains the new birth, he is born unto eternal Life in the Kingdom of God; in the same manner as to be on Earth present, appearing on this Earth, we had to be born: thus it is to appear in the Kingdom of God, in the heavenly Kingdom, in the heavenly Kingdom we have to be born of the Water and of the Spirit.
The Lord Jesus Christ in one occasion asked: “The baptism of John was it of men or of Heave, of God? They could not give an answer to Jesus, because if they said it was of men, the people had John the Baptist as a prophet, so the people who were asking could have been stoned, in other words, those who were asking; and if they answer it was “of Heaven” then Jesus would have answered them: “Then you should’ve had believed, to be baptized?” then they say: “We do not know.” Which is the way out for many persons when they do not want to answer knowing it is the truth, and knowing the consequences by saying the truth.
And now, if the baptism of John was of Heaven, and not of men, how much more the baptism in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, was it of Heaven or of men? It was of Heaven, revealed at the Day of Pentecost by the Holy Spirit to Peter, and by means of Peter to the people that were hearing there. That’s why Christ had said: “God into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
(Mark, chapter 16, verses 15, to 16). And the other previous quote; we will continue it here: Hebrews chapter 3, verses… the very verse 1, says that Christ is an apostle:
“Consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus.”
Christ is the High Priest of the heavenly Temple after the Order of Melchizedec, for He is Melchizedec, High Priest of the heavenly Temple, and to that priesthood Order belong all the believers in Christ, because that is the Family of God, the Priesthood House, and to all that which Christ is an heir, are also all the believers in Him.
He is a High Priest, the believers in Him are also priests, of the Order of Melchizedec, that’s why our offerings and prayers, praises, and all the things we do for God in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, reaches Heaven, reaches the Throne of God in the heavenly Temple. First Peter also speaks to us of that heavenly priesthood to which belong the believers in Christ, which pertain to different nations: jews and gentiles. First Peter chapter 2, verse 9, says…a bit before, verse 4, and on, says:
“To whom coming, as unto a living stone…”
In other words, Christ is a living Stone, the same Stone that was represented in the stone or rock that Moses smote back there in the wilderness at Sinai, and the other rock was at Kadesh-barnea which he smote two times.
The first rock represents the First Coming of Christ which had to be bruised on Cavalry’s Cross to redeem us with His Blood, and the second rock represents the Second Coming of Christ which was not to be bruised, nor to be crucified, and for that reason when Moses smote the rock two times, as he had done with the first rock, God was wrath with Moses, because God had said to him: “Speak to the rock and it will give you water.”
The waters of the first rock represent the baptism of the Holy Spirit, without It a person cannot live eternally, as neither without water a person cannot live; and the second rock represents the Second Coming of Christ, and notice for what purpose is the Second Coming of Christ, we have to know these things, chapter 3, of Phillippians verses 20 to 21, says:
“Our conversation is in heaven (the believer in Christ besides having the earthly citizenship of the country in which he was born, he has a heavenly citizenship, of Heaven, of the heavenly Jerusalem, because the new birth is heavenly and for that reason the believers in Christ are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus our Lord)…our conversation is in heaven from whence we also look for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
From where are we expecting the Lord to come? From Heaven, from the heavenly Jerusalem, where He is as High Priest after the Order of Melchizedec, interceding with His own Blood for all the ones that receive Him as only and sufficient Savior, and for the ones that have already received Him as Savior, if they commit any fault, error or sin and confess it to Christ, Christ with His Blood cleanses them from all sin, and thus every believer in Him, everyone of the Family of God, everyone born of Heaven, all the ones with the faith of Jesus; and with the faith in Jesus, which are sons and daughters of Abraham, they are kept cleansed without spot or wrinkle:
“Who shall change our vile body…”
He in His Coming to His Church in the Last Day will gives us the faith, the revelation, to be changed and take by Christ to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb, and that revelation will be the revelation of His Coming as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, King of kings, and Lord of lords, and that will be the unfolding of the Seventh Seal to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the Family of God, to that people redeemed with the Blood of Christ our Savior. Continues saying:
“Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body…”
In other words, He will change the body of the ones that remain alive, believers in Him, so that our body may be equal to His glorified body, immortal, incorruptible, and young for all eternity, which will have no problems, problems of any kind; we have the example when Christ resurrected: He could travel fro one place to another, He could appear and disappear, He could pass through doors and walls without being opened, because the disciples were behind closed doors because they were afraid of the Jews, and He would enter and would leave without them opening the door.
He could travel without the need of an animal or any other means of transportation, and He even went to the House of the heavenly Father, to the heavenly Jerusalem, to the seventh dimension, the dimension of God, and He did not go to an airport to buy a ticket, there were no airports at that time, but angels of God went with Him, they took Him away.
That’s the kind of body He has promised for me, and for whom else? For each one of you also, which are members of the Mystical Body of Christ, of the people redeemed by the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; and there we will be young, we will live eternally and will be equal to Jesus Christ.
And that’s how the Family of God, the people redeemed by the Blood of Christ will be complete, and will be as the Scripture says that the Family of God will be, the people redeemed with the Blood of Christ our Savior:
“Who shall change our vile body…”
Remember that in this earthly body, mortal, temporary body, is that we go through a stage of humiliation, because we being the sons and daughters of God, and being members of the heavenly royalty, the royalty that covers all the dimensions, we are going through a stage wherein we appear as simple people, with common jobs and professions, as the rest of the people.
In a kingdom the members of the royalty are different, and their way of life is different. But the believers in Christ have been leading a normal life as the other people, and in that earthly life is that we go through the corresponding trials so that the character of each believer in Christ is molded, which is what we will take with us, just as Christ came and lived a life like the rest of the persons: He worked, ate, slept, spoke with other people, laughed, would be angered sometimes also with those that were against the Divine Program and so forth.
It is that in the Divine Program is written the trajectory through which all the members of the people redeemed by God would go through, and Christ had to go through the part that corresponded to Him. It is as in a movie where they have a libretto, and according to that which is written in that libretto the actors prepare themselves for their part, their role.
But we find that that movie which was so attractive, which was made, had its difficult moments to be continued, either economic or problems with the equipments, because of damage, or the characters did not performed well in their role, and they had to stop in order to do that part again, and those moments will not be shown in the movie, wether the movie was good or not.
That part of the movie… become as bloopers or something as that, which are placed at the end to show all the struggles of the movie, but that did not count as a failure in the movie, which was played afterwards, those bloopers do not appear; the movie is seen perfectly although it had problems with some characters, some of the actors had to go to the hospital because of any accident, but they had to return to continue.
Thus it is in the Christian life, there is a Divine Program, there is a libretto, and everything is already designed in the Lamb’s Book of Life, which is the divine thought in which He designed all the trajectory of His Church, the people that would be redeemed with the Blood of Christ, and what happens with the little problems that come up, little problems or big problems that come up? The Blood of Christ cleanses us of every sin, and at the end the movie of the trajectory of the people redeemed by God, by the Blood of Christ, will appear clean, without the errors, without the faults or sins committed in their trajectory.
The important thing is not to be part of the persons which are spectators, but rather being actors, and the ones redeemed by the Blood of Christ, the people redeemed with the Blood of Christ, they are the actors of that movie, of that drama of love divine for all the believers in Christ, which are the sons and daughters of God, for which the prayer which Christ taught when the disciples said to Christ: “Teach us to pray,” Jesus tells them: “Pray in this wise: Our Father which art in heaven.”
If they are to call Him Father, then they are His sons, and those are the believers in Christ that have been born of the Water and of the Spirit and consequently they have become the people redeemed by the Blood of Christ our Savior:
“Who shall change our vile body (in other words, He will change our physical body), that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body (that it be equal to His glorified body), according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”
Because He is the heir of all things, and also He is the heir, notice what God says by means of St. Paul in Hebrews chapter, 1, verses 1, to 2:
“God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.”
Now, the heir of all things is also the One through Whom God created all things, through Jesus Christ were created all things, those in Heaven and those on Earth, the visible things, and the invisible things (Colossians chapter 1, verse 16 speaks of this):
And in Hebrews chapter 1, verse 3, says:
“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person…”
The brightness of the glory of God is Christ, and the image of the living God is Christ in His heavenly body; that heavenly body is called the Angel of God or Angel of the Covenant which appeared to the prophets from the time of Adam, and then in Jesus the Angel of the Covenant became flesh.
The promise of the Coming of the Messiah in Malachi, chapter 3, is the Coming of the Lord, the Coming of the Angel of the Covenant, in other words, God the Father in and with His heavenly body would dwell within a body that He will create, will form, which was the body of flesh named Jesus, who was born through virgin Mary, the woman with the greatest privilege to conceive, because she was the virgin that gave birth to Jesus:
“Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (which translated is God with us).”
And there we have God in the midst of the human race as a child being born through a virgin, and then growing, crying, drinking milk, going to school, most probably, in His first grades to learn, because Joseph and Mary taught Him to read, so we do not know for how long He went to the Synagogue to learn of if He never went, we will see that later on; when we are transformed we will see the rest of the history that we are lacking to know.
And now, the image of the living God is the heavenly body of God, it is the Angel of the Covenant, which is Christ in His heavenly body, that’s why He could say: “Before Abraham was, I am.” (St. John chapter 8, verses 56, to 58).
So therefore, Jesus Christ is the most important person, because He is the veil of flesh where God was dwelling in all His fullness; and consequently He is God made flesh, God in human form in the midst of His people Israel to carry out the Work of Redemption at Cavalry’s Cross to redeem the persons that were written in Heaven in the Lamb’s Book of Life since before the foundation of the world, the people that would be redeemed, which are the sons and daughters of God.
To be part of that people redeemed by the Blood of Christ is the greatest privilege that any person can have, because he or she has the promise of eternal Life from God; and if life in this physical body is so good, how much more in the eternal, immortal, incorruptible and glorified body, which Christ will give us in the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of the ones that are living.
It will be a glorious time, to which precedes a divine call of Acclamation, a great Voice of a Trumpet, and Voice of God: three things take place before the rapture or catching away of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
To this people also belong all the jews that have received Christ as only and sufficient Savior. God has made from jews and gentiles that have received Christ as Savior, a people redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ. Therefore, the jews have a very important part in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The majority of the ten lost tribes of Israel are found in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the House of God as believers; and there is where they will hear the call, because the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is House of God and Gate to Heaven, because Christ is in It, and He is the Door and no one can enter the Kingdom of God if is not through the Door of the Kingdom of God which is Christ our Savior.
He is the Patriarch of the Family of God; He is the Head of that people redeemed with His Blood; in His Church He is the David, and His House, is the House of David being restored, which will possess the Kingdom of the planet Earth and all the Universe. He is the Prince Messiah; Israel is a part of that people, for which Christ said: “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do,” when He was being crucified, when He was taken prisoner and was crucified, He spoke these words.
Forgiveness was extended to Israel, all those things had to be fulfilled so that the Work of Redemption would be carried out for Israel and for the gentiles written in Heaven in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
Where are at the most glorious time of all times, wherein at any moment the number of the members of the people redeemed with the Blood of Jesus Christ will be completed, the people joint-heir with Christ. That people is heir with God and joint-heir with Christ, St. Paul tells us in Romans chapter 8, verse 14, and on, says:
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
And what about the ones that do not have the Spirit of God? Let us see verse 9, of this same chapter 8, of Romans:
“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.”
That’s how simple what the Scripture says, is. But for those that have the Spirit of Christ because they have received Him as Savior, it continues saying:
“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. (
Abba means Father: Abba, Father).
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”
In other words, if we pass through those stages of suffering because of Christ, His Gospel and His Name, then we shall also be glorified with Him, we will have glorified bodies as His body, young and eternal, that’s why they did not recognize Him, because a person that represented thirty three years or more, and now resurrects young, for the resurrection is in glorified and young bodies, now, those that were with Him, let us say in His ministry of three years and a half, did not know Him, it is rare, but remember neither will you know your beloved relatives that were believers in Christ when they resurrect, if they died, unless you are already aware that they will rise in young glorified immortal bodies; and if they had lost their hair, because of baldness, he will rise with hair. In other words, if you are not aware that this will be so, you will not be able to welcome your beloved family when they return in the resurrection.
Any person who is, let us say fifty years of age, and his father or mother appears to him, being a youngster of about eighteen to twenty one years of age, and says to him: “Son, how are you? For sure you will say: “More so you could be my daughter or son, why should you call me son” “it is that I was your father or mother in the other body when I was here on Earth, but now in the resurrection the body Christ gave me is young, is eternal, is glorified, and consequently I will never again will become old.”
When we see them resurrected then we will be transformed; it is a divine promise for all the members of the people redeemed by the Blood of Christ. I already became part of the people redeemed by the Blood of Christ for many years, for many decades, and who else? Each one of you also.
If there is any person that has not received Christ as Savior so that Christ could make you a part of the people redeemed with His Blood, you do it at this moment by receiving Him as Savior, and we will be praying for you so that Christ may receive you in His Kingdom, forgive you and with His Blood may cleanse you of all sin, and make you a member of the people redeemed with the Blood of Christ, the Blood of Jesus Christ. For which you may come to the front and we will be praying for you.
And those in other nations may also come to the Feet of Christ so that you may be included in the prayer we will be making for all those who are receiving Christ as only and sufficient Savior; the children also, of ten years and older, may come to the Feet of Christ so that Christ may receive them in His Kingdom. Christ said: “Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Those in the different countries may also continue to come to the Feet of Christ our Savior. God has much people here in Venezuela, He also has much people in Colombia, in Ecuador, in Peru, in Bolivia, in Paraguay, in Chile, in Argentina, in Brazil, in the whole of Caribbean, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti, and the rest of the countries of the Caribbean, and also in the other nations, North America, Canada, Hawai, Russia, China, also Alaska, and in every country God has much people and is calling them in this end time, in Israel He has also much people.
And He also has in many nations Hebrew people, some belonging to the tribes of the South: the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, and He also has many people of the lost tribes, the ten lost tribes of the Kingdom of the North, and He is calling them also in this end time, because very soon the Kingdom of David will be restored on this planet Earth, wherein Jerusalem will be the Capital of the world, not only of Israel but of the whole world, and Israel will be the Federal District, and from there the Prince Messiah will bring peace to Israel, and also for all the nations, and the wars will end, the economic problems will end, the financial problems, religious problems also, because there will only be one way to understand God, and to believe in God, “for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea,” says Habakuk chapter 2, verse 14, and also Isaiah chapter 11, verse 9.
That day, that stage, is very close, that messianic era is around the corner; therefore God is preparing His people Israel and is preparing the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, He is preparing the people redeemed by the Blood of Christ, for that which He has promised.
The promises of the Coming of the Messiah, the promise of the Shout, Voice of Archangel and Trumpet of God, the promise of the rapture, the promise of the revelation of the Sixth Seal which are Moses and Elijah, the two Olive Trees, and the promise of the revelation of the Seventh Trumpet which are Moses and Elijah with Israel, and also of the revelation of the Seventh Seal which is the Coming of the Lord to His Church at the Last Day. All these things are promised, which will give rapturing faith and transformation faith to all the believers in Christ, which are the members of the people redeemed by the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
You may continue to come to the Feet of Christ our Savior before the door closes, because that door will close some day and there will not be more opportunity to enter through the door of salvation and eternal Life. This is in the Scripture in chapter 13, verse 22, and on, (St. Luke) says:
“And he went through the cities, and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
When once the master of the house…”
Who is the Master of the House? Christ, He is the Father of this Family, of these people redeemed by His precious Blood poured out at Cavalry’s Cross; He is the Father of the family, He is the Father of a new race with eternal Life, He is the Father of these people of which Paul says: “If any man be in Christ he is a new creature, old things are passed, behold, they are become new.”
“When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are.”
In other words, there will come a time in which the Door of Mercy, the Door of Redemption, of Salvation which is Christ will no longer be as a Lamb interceding with His Blood for the people, He will no longer be as Lamb, as High Priest interceding, He will then be the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings, and Lord of lords in His Reclamation Work.
Therefore, we have to make good use of the time that remains before the door closes, in order for what? In order to enter the Kingdom of Christ, the Kingdom of God, to form part of the people redeemed with the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
He left ten days after His resurrection, the tenth day of His resurrection, to present Himself to God the Father, and to sit in the Throne of God. Notice what chapter 19, verse 11, and on, of Luke says:
“And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country…”
Who is this nobleman? He was of the royalty: Jesus Christ, a descendant of king David the heir to the Kingdom and Throne of David: of which the Archangel Gabriel spoke to virgin Mary in St. Luke chapter 1, when He said to Mary that she would conceive and give birth to a child, and to name Him Jesus. Chapter1,verse 30, and on, says:
“And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name Jesus.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highesst; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.”
That’s why now in chapter 19, says:
“…and they thought that the kingdom should appear immediately.”
They thought that the Kingdom of God would be established, restored, in those days. In the book of Acts chapter, 1, it says they asked Him, “Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? They thought that the restoration of the Kingdom was to be carried out in those days; that’s why they entered with Jesus, they mounted Jesus on a white donkey, and proclaimed Him as the King son of David, but was rejected by the people, and now in the Last Day is that that divine cycle is repeated, is that that divine cycle is repeated and Israel will receive Him, because He will come as King, which is the way they waited for Him.
That they will receive Him? Let us see, while the ones that are present and the ones of the different countries arrive, chapter 22, and 23, chapter 23, verses 37, to 39, of St. Matthew, says:
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me hencefotth, till ye say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.”
He already had had His triumphal entry in chapter 21, and they did not receive Him; and now on this occasion in chapter 23, He tells them when they will receive Him: in His second Coming; and in His second Coming He comes… notice here, that Coming to Israel will be when the Church is already transformed. Chapter 19, verse 12, and on, says:
“He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.”
Therefore He returns with the Property Deed in His second Coming, with the little Book of the seven Seals opened in His Reclaiming Work reclaim the Kingdom, to reclaim all the ones He has redeemed with His Blood, to reclaim all the things that belong to Him including the planet Earth, in order to establish His millennial Kingdom wherein I will be, and who else? Each one of you also.
Remember that there is a great blessing for this time in which we are living. We are at the time of the Golden Age of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the people redeemed with the Blood of Christ. Already the Church ages have ended and we are at the stage of the Age of Gold, the Golden stage of the Church, the stage for the physical adoption, the physical redemption of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we do not know how long we will be in this stage of Gold.
Remember that this stage is eternal, therefore, at any year will occur the completion of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, when It is completed, then Christ will leave the Throne of Intercession and will carry out His Reclamation Work, will take the Property Deed, the Book sealed with seven Seals, of Revelation chapter, 5, and will open It in Heaven, and will reclaim all that which He has redeemed, He will claim back all the members of the people redeemed with His Blood; and then the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of the ones that are alive will come, and there will be many chariots of fire in those days to take them to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb; as Elijah, who was taken in a chariot of fire, which is type and figure of those that will be raptured to go to the House of the heavenly Father.
Let us all stand up to pray for the persons that have come to the Feet of Christ our Savior, those of you present and those in other nations. With our hands raised to Heaven, to Christ, and with our eyes closed:
Heavenly Father, I come to You with these persons that have received Christ as their only and sufficient Savior. I present them to You, I bring them to You, receive them in Your House, I beg You in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
And now repeat with me this prayer, those that have come to the Feet of Christ, repeat this prayer with me:
Lord Jesus Christ, I heard the preaching of Your Gospel and Your faith was born in my heart. I believe in You with all my soul, I believe in Your Name as the only Name under Heaven given unto men in which we shall be saved; I believe in Your first Coming and in Your Name, I believe in Your death at Cavalry’s Cross as the Sacrifice of Atonement for our sins, Your faith was born in my soul.
I recognize that I am a sinner and need a Savior, a Redeemer. I testify publicly of my faith
in You and Your faith in me, and I receive You as my only and sufficient Savior. I beg You to forgive my sins and to cleanse me of all my sins, and may You baptize me with Holy Spirit and Fire after I’d be baptized in water in Your Name, and may You produce in me the new birth.
I want to be born in Your Kingdom, I want to live eternally with You in Your glorious Kingdom. Make a reality in my life the salvation you purchased for me at Cavalry’s Cross and for all the ones that are written in the Lambs Book of Life. I beg You in Your eternal and glorious Name Lord Jesus Christ. Amen, and amen.
And with our hands raised to Christ, to Heaven, we all say: The Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed me from all sin! The Blood of the Lord Jesus has cleansed me of all sin! The Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed me of all sin! Amen.
Christ has received you in His Kingdom, He has forgiven your sins and with His Blood He has cleansed you of all sin, because you have received Him as your only and sufficient Savior. You will say to me: “Christ said: ‘He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.’ When can I be baptized? Is the question for your inwards of your heart. Since you have believed in Christ of all heart, you may well be baptized, and may Christ baptize you with Holy Spirit and Fire and may He produce in you the new birth.
In water baptism, which is typological, symbolic, which does not take away sins, because that which takes away sin is the Blood of Christ, which cleanses us of all sin. The baptism in water is typoligical and in it we identify with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.
When a person receives Christ as Savior, looking at Christ and His Sacrifice at Cavalry’s Cross, he dies to the world, he is dying as Christ died, and he is doing what Paul said: “The world is crucified for him, and he for the world,” in spiritual terms.
And when he is submerged in the baptismal waters, in types he is being buried; and when he is brought out of the baptismal waters, he is resurrecting to a new life, to eternal Life with Christ in His eternal Kingdom, and Christ will baptize him with Holy Spirit and Fire and will produce in the person the new birth, which is a promise.
Watch, St. Peter himself spoke in chapter 2, of the baptism in water, which is a divine commandment; chapter 2, verses 36, and, on says:
“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men brethren, what shall we do?
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.”
About three thousand persons believed and were baptized, and were added to the people redeemed by the Blood of Christ; they were added to the people redeemed by the Blood of Christ, they were added to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, it says:
“And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And in verse 43, to 47 says:
“And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
and sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”
To where are they added? Where are placed all those that are saved? In the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the Fold of which Christ said, and there shall be one Fold and one Shepherd; the Shepherd is Christ, and the Fold is the place where all the sheep are gathered, and which are the sheep, who are they? All the ones redeemed by the Blood of Christ, in other words, we belong to a Fold: the Fold of the Lord Jesus Christ, which consists of the people redeemed by the Blood of Christ our Savior.
So therefore you can be baptized, and may Christ baptize you with Holy Spirit and Fire and may He produce in you the new birth and thus you enter into the Kingdom of God and you be placed with Jesus Christ our Savior in heavenly places, as members of the people redeemed by the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I leave the missionary, the reverend Miguel Bermudez Marin, so to let you know what to do, how to do, in order to be baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ all those that have received Him as your only and sufficient Savior. And in each country I leave you with the relevant minister to do the same.
May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant be upon you all and upon me also. Continue having a happy afternoon filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior. May God bless you and keep you.
“WE ARE A PEOPLE REDEEMED WITH THE BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.”
