FULL OBEDIENCE
TO GOD’S
ANOINTED ONE

Buenos Aires, Argentina
Very good afternoon, beloved friends and brethren present and also to those who are in other countries, and for those where the time is not yet 12:OO o’clock, or it is not yet past 12 noon: good morning; may the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon you all and upon me too. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
For this occasion we read in Hebrews, chapter 3, verses 1 to 6, where the apostle Paul says:
“Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and Spirit, and allow us to understand It.
Our subject for this occasion is: “FULL OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S ANOINTED ONE.”
In this passage that we have read, we find the type and shadow of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which was typified in the Hebrew people, and the type and shadow of Christ was Moses. Therefore, everything that would take place in the Church and with the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and those who would make up the Church, was typed, represented, in the Hebrew people coming out from Egypt until reaching the Promised Land.
From Egypt until Canaan or Promised Land, many years passed by, although that trip could have been done in less than a month; that span of time is equivalent in type and shadow to the time the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will be on Earth from the Day of Pentecost until the Second Coming of Christ, and until the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of the believers in Christ which are alive, and then to be caught away with Christ to go to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb, and thus at the Last Day to enter into the promised land of the new and eternal body, glorified body, and to also go into a new land in Heaven, to the House of the heavenly Father, to the feast of the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.
And after spending three and half years in Heaven at the Wedding Supper of the Lamb, those persons will return to the Earth to inhabit this planet Earth with glorified bodies to reign with Christ for a thousand years and then throughout eternity.
The millennium will be the literal entrance into the Promised Land, into the Kingdom of the Messiah on Earth. Two thousand years have already elapsed since Christ until now, and consequently, with the delay the calendar has, and more so being that the years of the prophetic calendar are…of 360 days, the year has 360 days in the prophetic calendar, and the Gregorian year has 365 days, then by summing up those extra days that the Gregorian calendar has, we already have around two thousand years from Christ until now, and even from the Day of Pentecost until now.
And if there is something missing, it is very little time for the two thousand years since Pentecost until now to be completed, but we are not going to figure out the amount, we are only going to see the type and figure of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which was the Hebrew people, and the leader of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is Jesus Christ in the midst of His Church in that Holy Spirit, who was tipified in Moses with the Pillar of Fire which was the Angel of the Covenant, God’s Angel, in the midst of the Hebrew people.
That Pillar of Fire that spoke to Moses is the Angel of the Covenant, which is Christ in Holy Spirit in the midst of the Hebrew people, leading Moses in that Exodus of deliverance towards the Promised Land.
In that trajectory, which could have been short, it took them forty years, and in forty years people have problems, individuals have problems, and let alone a whole people, because each person’s problems come together and it becomes a national problem.
All the problems that they had, we know it was God’s enemy who provoked them, because the people rebelled against Moses on various occasions; they murmured against Moses and in many things they didn’t agree with Moses, and even before they left Egypt they said to him that more problems had come upon them since Moses came to Egypt to deliver them.
In other words, Moses began to have problems with the people, or the people started with problems with Moses, the deliverer through whom God would deliver them; and while they were already in the wilderness, since they did not believe that it was possible to conquer the Promised Land there in Kadesh-Barnea, there at that place, when Moses sent the twelve spies, one prince of each tribe, among them were Joshua and Caleb, Caleb from the tribe of Judah and Joshua of the tribe of Joseph, and to be more specific: of the tribe of Ephraim, which was one of the two tribes that made up the tribe of Joseph, for Joseph’s tribe had a double blessing, the blessing of the Birthright, and therefore, Joseph, Joseph’s tribe, was composed of two tribes: the tribe of Ephraim and the tribe of Manasseh.
Always, the one who has the Blessing of the Birthright has two portions, two blessings, that’s why the believers in Christ have the earthly blessing and the heavenly blessing; that’s why they are heirs of the heavenly Kingdom and heirs of the earthly Kingdom, blessings from heaven and blessings from the Earth also.
That’s why they are kings with Christ to reign with Christ for a thousand years, they are also priests of the order of Melchizedek, to also be part of the religious part of the Kingdom of the Messiah, of which Jesus Christ is the High Priest after the Order of Melchizedek; that’s the Order which will be on Earth in the millennial Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Messiah.
And since God has appointed Christ as Judge of the living and of the dead, He will judge the living and the dead, the Scripture says that the believers in Christ will judge the world and even angels (chapter 6 of First Corinthians), therefore, they are also part of the judiciary power that the Kingdom of the Messiah will have; in other words, of the cabinet of the Supreme Judge, of the judiciary power of the Kingdom of the Messiah, is Christ, and His Cabinet of judges are the believers in Him.
That power is so great that it will judge the living and the dead and it will also judge the angels, in other words, it is the judiciary power that will enter in the Kingdom of the Messiah, as well as the religious power will be of the Messiah in which He is the High Priest after the Order of Melchizedek, and consequently His Cabinet will be made up of the believers in Him which form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Everything was reflected in the Hebrew people, therefore we can see how it is being fulfilled in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the reflection or type and shadow came from the Hebrew people, because the things which are seen are made of the things which were not seen. Therefore, as there was an earthly people, there is a heavenly people which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, as there was an earthly people: the Hebrew people, which still exists and will have great blessings in this end time.
Now, in their trajectory towards the promised land there were three kinds of believers: the true believer, who held onto everything God had spoken and kept himself under total obedience to what his Leader, the Angel of the Covenant, Christ in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, the Angel of the Covenant in the midst of the Hebrew people, would say, would speak, would teach, through Moses the prophet.
To reject what God spoke through Moses the prophet, was to reject God, to such degree that on one occasion there in Exodus, chapter 23, God says to the people, He gives the secret to the people in order for them to obtain always the victory and the divine blessings; chapter 23, verse 20 to 23 says in Exodus:
Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
In this Scripture we can see who was, is and will ever be the leader of the Hebrew people; but He uses instruments, persons, from stage to stage, from Age to Age, from Dispensation to Dispensation to speak to the people and to use them in the relevant trajectory corresponding to each stretch of the Divine Program. The leader is the Angel of the Covenant which is the image of the living God, the Holy Spirit, Christ in His angelic body, as well as the Word that was with God and was God and created all things, in other words, God through Him created all things; because that Angel of the Covenant or Angel of God or Angel of the Lord as people call Him in some Bible versions, is the image of the living God, God’s angelic body.
That’s why when He appeared to different prophets, He would say to them, as to Moses, chapter 3 of Exodus: “I am the God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob,” it was God in that theophany, veiled, speaking to Moses, that was the reason Christ said: “Before Abraham was, I am.”
It is that that Angel of the Covenant is Christ in His theophanic body, His angelical body, which is the image of the living God; that’s why that although in the Old Testament the Scripture says that different persons like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Manoah, and other people say that they saw God face to face, and were frightened, they thought they were going to die; for instance, Jacob chapter 32, verses 24 to 32 of Genesis, met with a man, with a man of another dimension, he held unto Him and did not let Him go until he received the blessing of that Angel, of that man, which was the Angel of God.
Jacob wanted to know His Name, but the Angel did not reveal to him His Name, but He was the Angel of God, that’s why he called the place Peniel, the place where he had that encounter with that man, for he said: “I saw God face to face and my soul was preserved.”
Manoah also in chapter 13 of the Book of Judges met with that Angel, that man, him and his wife saw Him and spoke with Him, but they did not know that it was the Angel of God the Angel of the Covenant, until he offered an offering to God, a sacrifice of an animal, and while the holocaust was consumed, the sacrifice, the Angel ascended in the flame of fire and then Manoah knew that it was the Angel of God, the Angel of the Covenant, and was afraid and told his wife: “We shall surely die for we have seen God face to face.”
The Scripture says, and God said to Moses: “You shall not see my face, for no man shall see me and live,” so, Manoah knew that Scripture and was afraid, and his wife tells him, comforts him and says to him: “We shall not die otherwise God wouldn’t tell us, the Angel wouldn’t tell us that we would have a child,” by logic she then knew that they were not going to die. The child they were going to have was Samson, the strongest man of whom the Bible speaks, but that was when the Spirit of God was manifested in him, he was the strongest man.
Manoah and his wife did not die by seeing the Angel, but they died thereafter due to another cause, of old age perhaps, but not because they saw the Angel. Every time when the people saw the Angel, the people who knew that it was the Angel of God, they said they had seen God face to face.
That’s why when Abraham ate, prepared a meal for them, prepared lunch to three Angels, he knew that one of them was God, Elohim, who gave him the promise that he was going to have a child, and about twenty five years passed by, or twenty four years, until at last He confirms the promise to him, because in another occasions He had also confirmed the promise to him that he was going to have a child, and now He confirms it to him for the last time, and says to him: “Already next year Sarah will have the child.”
Many…many people would like to have news like that, of a promise God made to him/her and say to him/her: “Next year you will already have it,” we all would like to have a promise like that in many of the things we are expecting from God, for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, that one of the promises He has spoken, He speaks it in our time to the Church: “Within two years or three years you will have that which God has promised.” God will grant us that which He has promised, that’s good news for us. There are many things; we are expecting many blessings, many promises that He has made, we are expecting them to be confirmed, in other words, rather to be vindicated, vindicated, made a reality.
And there are promises that when we see them fulfilled, then we will realize that greater promises than those are very near; because there are promises that are fulfilled within another promise which is being fulfilled, in other words, that some promises come, the fulfillment of some promises, they come with prizes, with other additional prizes; within a promise can come five, ten or twenty promises, within it, that is, a promise with many blessings within it.
For instance, in the promise that Abraham would have a child, great blessings were coming, because the Blessing of the Birthright would come, he would inherit it, and the blessing of much seed would come, which was in Abraham, and would pass from Abraham to Isaac, from Isaac to Jacob, from Jacob to the patriarchs, and likewise. See? Within a promise which is fulfilled, other promises, other blessings, come.
In the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ there are many blessings, because Christ is in His Church calling and gathering all His elect, His chosen ones, all of God’s seed that would come through the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the second Adam, who would manifest in the reproduction of sons and daughters of God in the midst of His Church, which is the second Eve.
If there is a second Adam, then there is a second Eve, and if there were problems there in that Exodus when God delivered the Hebrew people through Moses, God in and with His angelical body called the Angel of the Covenant, used the veil of flesh called Moses, and delivered the Hebrew people, but there were struggles, there were problems, and all that we find worked for good, the problems worked for good.
If a child would not have the problem of dying after nine months in the womb of his mother, he wouldn’t be born, you see a problem there: one must be born. Notice what Deuteronomy says, chapter 8:
“All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.
And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.”
Which was the reason for the trials? It says:
“And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.”
That’s why we find that the Hebrew people went through good and difficult situations. For some people say: “If we are serving God, everything will be OK,” if that’s the case anyone would serve God, for many people want to serve God because they are interested in financial prosperity, are interested in material blessings, but when the time of trials comes to them, some say: “I didn’t think I was going to have problems when serving God, I never thought that in God’s path as a believer of God, I thought I wouldn’t go through trials.” But here, in the trajectory of the Hebrew people through the wilderness, God Himself says that He humbled them, it says:
“…to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart…”
Because that which is in the heart of the people comes out by means of trials, therefore, those who came out of Egypt, forty years and older, were not able to enter into the Promised Land, (except Joshua and Caleb), because they failed under the trials, they murmured against Moses through whom God was leading the people, and that was counted before God as murmuring against God.
The leader of the people was God through the Angel of the Covenant, in other words, His angelic body, using a veil of flesh called Moses. The people had to be under full obedience to God, in that which God had commanded them through Moses; they had to do according to the Divine Program.
Remember that for each Age, for each Dispensation there is a Divine Program to be followed, that’s the plan which everyone is called to follow:
“And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.”
Here we can see that God allowed the people to be hungry, to go through that stage, for God to prove that He is the provider, and thus also to allow for that which was in their hearts to come out. When they were hungry, instead of praying to God and saying to Moses: “We will pray to God with you, ” they spoke against Moses, there they are, those persons were make believers, which said they believed, but when any small problem arose, they rose up against Moses and consequently against God’s plan, and then they tried to fight Moses and those who were working along with Moses in the Work of God for that time.
The make believers do always the same in each time, of which Judas of Iscariot is the main type and figure. Look at him correcting Jesus, criticizing Jesus, because a woman took an alabaster box of ointment and poured it on Jesus, and Judas, thinking of money, because he thought of…he was treasurer, of that which he received he took for himself, money, that is, the Scripture says that he was thief, in other words, he was thinking: “This could have been sold (I don’t know whether it was)for three hundred (or something like that) and to give it to the poor.” and he was thinking of how much of that money would be for him. In other words, he was protecting, in his way of thinking, how much he could obtain out of that sale.
We also find the unbelievers: they don’t believe, and therefore they are less troublesome than the make believers, because the make believer, says he believes, but actually he doesn’t believe, he comes to be a critic of the believers and also an enemy of the believers, because they are always trying to impose their carnal opinion, human one, personal interpretation that they may have, and they believe that the way they think is the best way.
That’s what Judas thought, he wanted to teach Jesus, decide what Jesus was supposed to do: “This should have been sold for so much, for so much money, to give it to the poor, what you are doing is a waste,” criticizing the very Jesus.
You will find the make believers, or made up believers, acting that way, therefore, you will find that there will be that type of problems in the midst of the people going towards the Promised Land.
But the true believers will always be positive, no matter the problems that might arise in the midst of the people, God has promised it, and the way He has promised it, that’s how I believe and we will reach up to our transformation; but if someone dies, he will be resurrected in glorified body, there is no problem.
Therefore, if someone has to leave before, don’t worry; we will welcome you when you are back. We will reach the climax of the Divine Program, which will be the glorification of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and consequently the glorification of every believer in Christ to be in the image and likeness of Jesus Christ our Saviour.
But while that time of transformation arrives, remember, there were problems in the type and shadow: the Hebrew people, and therefore there will be struggles, problems, difficulties, until we are changed; once we are changed, glorified, our problems will be over. In the mean time we keep full obedience to Jesus Christ our Saviour, who is in the midst of His Church for two thousand years, about two thousand years since the day of Pentecost until today.
As we follow Christ, we are following the Angel of the Covenant and consequently we are following God in His Program in the Dispensation of Grace with the Gospel of Christ, and in this end time the Gospel of Christ will intertwine with the Gospel of the Kingdom, and that pertains to this end time in the stage of the Golden Age of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
If there were problems in the days of Jesus Christ, there will also be problems in our day, but what can we do? Well, we have to be side by side with Christ, being in Christ’s Program, remaining loyal to Christ, in full obedience to Christ, in the stage which pertains to us to live, without leaving Christ for another way of thinking, different to Christ, the apostles, and Christianity; without leaving Christ. He who leaves Christ will find himself with many serious problems. The apostle Paul says in chapter 10 of the book of Hebrews, verse 26 and onwards, it says:
“For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord.
And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions.”
There we can see that he who leaves Christ what he will then expect is something horrible, there is no longer another sacrifice for sin, there is only One, and that’s the Sacrifice of Christ on Calvary’s Cross.
It is important to continue serving Christ, following Christ in our trajectory with Christ all the days of our life, aware that we are part of the Mystical Body of Christ, which is His Church, and consequently being aware that as individuals we are a human temple of Christ, in which Christ dwells by means of His Holy Spirit and leads us and blesses us.
Now, we can see that we have struggles as individuals, and also the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as Mystical Body has its various trials, struggles, difficulties, throughout the history of the Church, throughout the history of Christianity.
In our time struggles are more of a spiritual and mental kind rather than physical. Any person can say: “Well, I wish I had lived in the time of the apostles or of other ages that came after the time of the apostles,” there, they were persecuted, were killed and were thrown to the lions or were burnt.
Notice, we are in the best time of Christianity, which is why I have called our time the Golden Age of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. The struggles in our time, since human rights have become so strong, today the major persecutions and difficulties, the struggles are mental, are spiritual, for we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood, but against spiritual powers of the fifth dimension, of the kingdom of darkness, and those powers, those evil spirits, use people also.
But remember, the fight is more of the mind, spiritual than physical; and while we have a job, physical battles are not that difficult, when there is no work, then problems arise in the home, there is no food for the children and then that’s quite a big problem.
But notice, spiritual food is the most important one, and you need spiritual food to feed your soul, else you die spiritually, “man shall not live of bread alone, but of every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” What does proceed from the mouth of God? His Word, therefore, He provides His Word for our time, to have us well fed, and also water. Therefore, although the Scripture says that “there will be famine and thirst,” not famine of bread neither thirst for water, but to hear the Word of the Lord,” that’s somewhere in Amos, chapter 8, verse 11 to 12.
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD
(in other words, Word of the Lord).
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.”
Therefore, it is important that in our time we have the Word of God for our time, to be spiritually well fed within our soul, otherwise the person would die spiritually, and his soul would die, would not have eternal Life. Not having eternal Life means to be dead in the soul; to be without eternal Life is the saddest thing that a person can have or suffer, for to be physically alive to live fifty or a hundred years, that’s good, but it finishes, and when it is finished, what remained for him? If he doesn’t have eternal Life, he will not be able to live eternally with Christ in His Kingdom, and consequently he will be cast into the lake of fire after he’s been judged in the final judgment of Revelation, chapter 20, verse 7 and onwards.
Therefore, the most important thing for the person is eternal Life, there is nothing more important, “what will a man profit if he gains the whole world and loses his soul? Or which reward will a man give in exchange for his soul? asks Christ our Saviour, Matthew, chapter 16, verses 26 to 28:
“For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. “
Therefore, the most important thing is to secure eternal Life, there is nothing more important, for which a full obedience to God’s Anointed is required, full obedience to the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ our Saviour, who is in the midst of His Church in Holy Spirit since the Day of Pentecost until today.
“FULL OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S ANOINTED,” to Jesus Christ. Remember that Christ means: Anointed, Messiah, the Messiah, the Christ. “Full obedience to Christ, the Anointed, the Messiah, our Saviour.”
If there is someone that has not yet received Christ in order to be under full obedience to Christ, to the Anointed One, to the Messiah, you can do it right now and we will be praying for you, and those who are in other nations also, those who have not received Christ as Saviour yet, you may do it so that you may be included in the prayer we will be doing for everyone who is receiving Christ as only and sufficient Saviour, And children ten years and older can also come to the Feet of Christ our Saviour.
There is no other Saviour, there is only One, and His Name is: Lord Jesus Christ. He is my Saviour, my Redeemer, and of whom else? Of each one of you also; there is no other Saviour, only One, and His Name is: Lord Jesus Christ, to Whom we are obedient.
God has much people and He is calling them in this end time. The fact is that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is being completed, and that which will come after the Church is completed will be that Christ will finish His Work of Intercession in Heaven as High Priest, and He will leave the Throne of Intercession, He will take the Title Deed, which is the Book sealed with Seven Seals in Revelation, chapter 4 and chapter 5, He will take It from the right hand of God the Father, will open It in heaven, and will carry out His Reclaiming Work, He will claim back everything He has redeemed with His precious Blood.
He will resurrect the dead in Christ in eternal, immortal, glorified bodies as the glorified body He has, that Jesus Christ has, and young throughout eternity, and we which are alive He will transform us; and then we will all be into the image and likeness of Jesus Christ our Saviour, we will be glorified people with eternal bodies, immortal and young bodies throughout eternity. That’s what Christ has for all the believers in Him who are under full obedience to Him, to Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One. Christ is always in the midst of His Church in Holy Spirit, He Himself said: “I will be with you always, until the end of the world,” (Matthew, chapter 28, verse 20).
In the different countries you may also continue coming to the Feet of Christ our Saviour so that you may be included in the prayer we will be doing for everyone that is coming to the Feet of Christ our Saviour, and children ten years and older can also come to Christ our Saviour, for Christ said: “Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Christ said in John, chapter 10: “My sheep hear my Voice and they follow me, and I know them and Give them eternal Life, and shall never perish. My Father who gave them to me is greater than all, and no one can pluck them out of the hand of my Father.” (John, chapter 10, verses 27 to 30).
The greatest decision a human being can make in his life is to receive Christ as only and sufficient Saviour. And the greatest thing Christ can give to a person is eternal Life, there is no greater thing which He can give to a person, then the rest of the things He can give to a person are things extra to eternal Life: rewards, prizes, all that.
We are going to stand on our feet to pray for the people that have come to the Feet of Christ our Saviour. In the rest of the countries also stand on your feet and with our hands raised to Christ, to Heaven, our eyes closed:
Lord, heavenly Father, eternal God, I come to You in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ with all these people that are receiving Christ as only and sufficient Saviour, receive them in Your Kingdom, I pray in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And now repeat after me this prayer:
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 first Coming and I believe in Your death on Calvary’s Cross as the Sacrifice of Atonement for our sins, I believe in Your Name as the only Name under Heaven given unto men whereby we must be saved.
I recognize that I am a sinner and I need a Saviour. I bear public witness of my faith in You and I receive You as my only and sufficient Saviour. I pray forgive my sins and cleanse me with Your Blood from all sin and baptize me with Holy Ghost and Fire after I am baptized in water in Your Name, and may the new birth be produced in me.
I want to live in Your Kingdom, I want to live eternally, save me Lord. Make a reality the salvation You purchased for me on Calvary’s Cross. I pray in Your eternal and glorious Name, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
And with our hands raised to Heaven, to Christ, we all say: The Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed me from all sin! The Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed me from all sin! The Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed me from all sin! Amen.
Christ has received you in His Kingdom, has forgiven your sins, and with His Blood has cleansed you from all sin for you have heard the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, the faith of Christ was born in your heart, and you bore public witness of your faith in Christ by receiving Him as only and sufficient Saviour.
You will say to me: “I want to be baptized in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,” for He said: “he that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved; but he that believeth not, shall be damned.” Mark, chapter 16, verses 15 to 16.
When can I be baptized? It’s the question from the depth of your heart. It is a commandment of Christ for everyone that believes in Christ to be baptized, and Christ having also been baptized by John the Baptist; it is important to understand that if Christ was baptized to fulfill all righteousness, how much more we need to be baptized, but being aware that water baptism is typological.
Water doesn’t take away sin, it is the Blood of Christ that cleanses us from all unrighteousness, but water baptism is a commandment of the Lord Jesus Christ in which we identify with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.
When the person receives Christ as Saviour, he dies to the world. And when the minister immerses the person in baptismal waters, typologically he is being buried. And when he rises him from the baptismal waters, he is resurrecting unto a new life, unto eternal Life with Christ in His eternal Kingdom. That is the symbolism, typology, of water baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, you may well be baptized, and may Christ baptize you with Holy Ghost and Fire and produce in you the new birth, and we will continue to see each other throughout eternity in the glorious Kingdom of Christ our Saviour.
May you continue having a happy evening, filled of the blessings of Christ our Saviour.
I leave here the minister concerned, reverend Guillermo Rodriguez, and in each country I leave the minister concerned to let you know how to do to be baptized in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
May you continue spending a happy evening, full of the blessings of Christ our Saviour. In every country remains the minister concerned to do it in the same manner.
“FULL OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S ANOINTED ONE.”
