It was March the 19th, 2020, my 59th birthday... covid lock down in Great Britain had began. Three months of lockdown, three months from morning to night in the word of God with my Lord and God, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
What a wonderful time, day after day seeking God and his word, getting closer and closer to Him... and then...
"Return back to the land of your fathers." God commanded, while I was studying. "I don't know how your going to do that, I only have one pound in savings?" I replyed.
A year and a half later after many confirmations from His word to go back to the land of my fathers.
I was standing at my kitchen sink still in Bedforshire, England when God spoke again, answering my question...
"Appeal to Ceasar." As it is written in the book of Acts.
So I contacted the Australian Embassy in London, UK. Long testimony short, they paid for me to return back to Australia.
As God got the Govenment of Paul's time to pay for Paul to go to Rome, to do God's will for His life. God did the same for me. He is in control. Amen.
Arriving on the 11th March 2022 at Sydney airport in the early hours of the morning, my first conversation I had with a gentalman in the que was... "You look like Scott Morrison." He said. (Cearsar,) 'Signs following.' "Whose he?" I replied.
I was taken to a hotel for quarantine. Oh I was not looking forward to it, as I had seen some video's on youtube of how people really suffered two weeks locked up in a hotel room etc.
Before I left the UK I prayed to my Lord and God, "Lord, I don't think I could handle two weeks on my own locked up in a hotel room for quarantine, can you make it one week?"
Three weeks before I was due to fly, the Australian Govenment changed the rules of quarantine to seven days.
I prayed to God... "Thank you Lord, they have changed it to seven days, your in control, Amen." Then I jokingly said, "Could you put me in hospital, then I won't have to pay as I have no money to pay for the hotel quarantine and I don't want to be in debt starting a new life in Australia."
So back to being taken to a hotel in Sydney... it was beautiful. It had a balcony that I could sit and relax as the rules had relaxed. It had its own kitchen/dinner, a very big double bed and its own laundry room to. I said to my self, 'Why didn't I just shut my mouth.' You see, I could have been there two weeks as I have no where else to live.
I woke up around ten in the morning and answered the phone, it was the hotel nurse asking me if I had any covid symptoms, I said, "No!" as she was talking with me, my Lord said, "Tell her about the pains in your chest."
Before I left the UK, I had to move a bit of furniture and as I have a 25% blockage in an artery next to my heart, I had put strain on my chest which caused me to have this pain in my chest. Well, I could not believe what happend next... but it did. With in Half an hour an Ambulance arrived and took me to the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney with what the nurse described as a suspect heart attack.
I was in a private room, isolated from others due to covid rules, waited on hand and foot, and seven days later after many tests I was released, all was ok. (My covid isolation period was over) and I had no hotel costs to pay. Praise God. He is in control. Amen. Amen.
Now I got on the first train to Newcastle NSW, then a bus to Nelsons bay and arrived at around ten at night. No where to stay as I had no money of my own to pay for any hotels let alone food etc, but God is faithful and in control. I walked down to the keyside and with a few tears as to understanding my Lord and God where this was all going to lead.... You see, I had just given up my little bungalow in Bedfordshire, my home that I was given eight years ago from being homeless for eleven months in England, sleeping in my small van over winter (Another testimony there, how and when God called me,) provided by the council in England for the rest of my life and with benifits to, but God in His wisdom said...
'Give it all up, sell what you have and give it to the poor, and follow me, and go to Australia.' "I will speak to you there." It was dark and I was tied and laying on the seat by the barbecue areas looking at the sand and water with hundreds of Cockateil parrot's in a tree just away from me, I fell a sleep.
It was the 18th of March and I woke up with a man sitting next to me that looked so much like a dear friend in the UK called John, I once had before I got saved. (When you become truly saved, your friends drop you like a brick and Pastor/teacher and brothers and sisters in the religions. They will love their own.)
The mans name was Gary. I thank God, He had emediatley brought someone to me so I could learn the Australian way and show me what I needed to do. God says in His word, 'It is not good for man to be alone.' We started to get to know one another and slowly became Nelsons Bay friends.
The next morning it was the 19th March 2022. I was 61 that day. I said to the Lord. "Lord, I would love an English breakfast for my birthday." Not long after, an elderly gentalman approched me and gave me $20 dollas into my hand and walked off. I turned and called to him, "I'm not begging and I'm not poor." I said. He turned and pointed his finger at me and shouted, "I know, you are rich in faith."
God says in his word, 'the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with 'signs following.' Amen.'
God was confirming to me that from the early days of covid back on the 19th March 2020 when lock down started, to now 2022, two years to the day, that He was in control. God through this man was confirming that I am living by the faith of God and not by sight.
Then I was led by God, reluctantly, as my faith does sometimes go beyond God's understanding, lol, that as God used Joseph to bring Jacob his father and his brothers into Egypt, so God could use Egypt to sustain them, until the day of their deliverance, 430 years later to the day, when God prophesied to Abram.
Oh! Just a thought, not scripture but God is the same yeasterday, today and forever... in 2024 it will be 413 years ago 'The King James Version Bible,' (the only uncorrupted version,) I am a testimony of that, was published. Have we only 17 years left till 430 years are fulfilled again???
And the forming of Israel in 1948... verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfiled. 1948-2024 = 76 years. + 17 years left = 93 years...
A Generation in God's word can be three score and ten years, (so thats out) 100 years (very comon, four generations passed before God's prophecy to Abram was fulfilled.) 120 years when Noah built the Ark. The word from God, 'yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.' (only a handful of people have lived that long including a lady that has now passed that lived in the next town, Marsk by the sea, where I lived in North Yorkshire, lived to 120 and then died if I remember well.
I like to hope that the last child born in Israel in 1948 will still be alive at the age of 98, the generation that will not pass away until Jesus returns and comes in the clouds to meet us in the air. Amen.
God's word says...
O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas.
Jesus warns us... 'Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.''
Back to my testimony...
God finally got me to understand that Center link in the world (Eygpt) is created by God to sustain His people in need, even if they have all the faith in the living God. So I went with it and signed up, then realising I really had to, so I could regester for a tax file number, Medicare and all the other nessasary things that I never knew about, that one must do, to be a lawful citizen of Australia... and get a driving licence. I also learned that there was a big housing crises going on too. But God is faithful.
I spent a few weeks sleeping on a seat in Stockon street, Nelsons Bay. NSW. Under a large canopy.
One day the Lord spoke to me, "Do not sleep here tonight." He said. I had a little money from kind people and spent it renting a room that night.
That night a man was stabbed and killed in that street.
The people in the shops around where I slept in Nelsons Bay did not see me for a couple of days and thought it was me who was killed. God is faithful. If he tells you to do something. Just do it.
God puts Govenments and leaders in power and takes them out again. He is the God and the One in control.
I was then led back to Newcastle by a man called Adam, in Adamstown, NSW. He buys houses and makes up rooms and good facilities to home the homeless over 50's if they don't drink and do drugs. After I spoke to him on the phone whilst still in Nelsons Bay, he informed me that he had one room availible. (This was and still is a time where there is a housing crises)
So I went on the bus back to Newcastle, NSW and he kindly picked me up at the bus station and took me to his facility. The rooms he showed me were small with a single bed and a little window with no view to speak off, but nice and clean, the showers and toilets were like a school set up and the big community kitchen was very good. As I walked to the managers office I saw a few men and they greeted me politely too.
But God didn't tell me to go there. Signs following, not signs before... (Adam, Adams town.) We live by faith, not by sight.
Now this is where it turned, But God says... 'and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.'
His manager that was there to book me in and do a urine drug and alcohol test, asked me a question, "Have you had the two Covid injections?" I replied, "No!'" He left the room and Adam re-ented and asked me again, then Adam said, "I don't know why, but it is always the first question I ask everyone on the phone who askes for a room to rent, but I totally forgot to ask you. You can not stay here unless you have had the injections."
Adam put my bag back on his truck and then drove me back towards the bus station, we didn't really talk. God is faithful. Adam then told me he would drop me off to the housing people in Hunter street if I wanted and they may be able to help me. So he did and said goodbye.
Now... to cut along testimony short, I ended up finding rent assistance to put me in a hotel down near Swansea bridge, called, 'The Blue Pacific Hotel.' I was there around five weeks in total from memory.
Praise God, Praise my Lord and God. Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Who sits on the throne of Righteousness, on the right hand of our Father God in heaven above, who is in control.
This hotel might have a bit of 1970's retro aged style to say the least, A fair size room, double bed, a balcony that I would sit with my coffee overlooking the palm trees and swimming pool and Swansea bridge, watching it go up and down, up and down. Looking over the sandy, Swansea bay entrance while I studied God's word. Amen. It had its own bathroom too.
I got to know the lady and man who managed the place and the two cleaners, a man and lady and found favour with then. My last evening there I invited them all to have dinner with me. It is an old hotel but I was allowed to use the kitchen to cook my food, so I made them prawn cocktals, and beef stroganoff, just like we had in the 70's Restaurants, I can't remember what sweet we had, if any? (I should have gotten a Black Forest Gateau, like we had in the seventies.) It was a lovley evening, getting to know the Australian way, if you get what I mean. LOL. (The conversation I mean, not getting drunk.)
The weeks went by as I was looking and looking, looking and looking for a room to rent, (Housing crises) But hang on, there were many rooms availible yet as I explained on the renting websit who I was. A man of God, so they know from the begining. I by God's grace will pay my rent, I by God's grace will not lie, I will by God's grace be a good Tennant where God will even bless you and prosper you like He did with Potiphar when he bought Joseph as a slave, and God wrote in His word that He prospered Potiphar's business while Joseph was with him, even as a slave, not just renting. Amen.
And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
God says in His word...
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
But He also says... If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
So a lot of replies were, 'Sorry, we won't get on.'
I cryed unto God, "Lord, I can't find a room!"
Always forgetting to ask God first... He will not help you if you want to do the work your self, we must live by faith. God will never force Himself on us, we must, like in the world, if they want help, they ask, and God is no different to His children, beloved of Rome, because if we don't ask our Father God in the name of Jesus, it will be our own works...
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
This is what God keeps warning us all about, 'And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. ' (didn't we do! they said.)
Jesus warns the church before he returns... 'Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
I live by the faith of God who loved me and gave his life for me, and I turn to Him for everything and if we all did that, privatley, praying in our bedrooms, God promises...
'And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.'
Soon after I received a text message that a room was availble and if I would like to see it. Then another text came through and offered me a room, I was amazed, two offers now at the same time. Is that what it means by (Double portion?)
Any how I was interviewed by the daughters of a 74 year-old English, blackpool man who had lived in Australia from the early seventies. The house was still in need of doing up on the out side but inside it was lovley, anyhow they allowed me to rent the room and reduced the rent, (Hear this,) Reduced the rent from $250 a week to $230 a week, to help me as I did not have much money. (in a time of a housing crisis.) Praise God. (Tripple Portion.) The main lady who gave me a big welcoming hug, now has left employment and is now running her very own accountancy business and is very, very busy. That is God's blessing on her life through me. The bible confirms. Signs following.
Coming to the end... Arrrrr...
I was there for upto about three months. A lovley big room, big bed, a hap hazard half finished balcony from which the sun would shine over and through the patio doors every morning, (unless it rained) where I would sit after breakfast eating my orange that David the owner sometimes would provid fruit for us to freely eat. Plus my own bathroom to share with Graham another lodger.
Sadley, Graham who was just getting to accept who I was, died of cancer not long ago, rejecting God's grace and mercy.
As he like many others, hated God with avengents. I knew it was because of the iniquities of our fathers that he hated God for, because of what they did to him as a young boy and sadley as he was seperated from his wife, what they did to his children to, not that long ago, from his testimonys. No mater how much I explained that a true born again, (By being Baptised correctley) and led by the Spirit of God, would never do such things, as they have the Spirit of God in them.
God's word says... 'God is not the minister of sin.'
God did not come to make hundreds of religions to confuse us, to take our money, tell us that the gifts of the Spirit no longer exist and that we are once saved always saved...
God warns us where the problem lies... For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Jesus warns us... 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 now living the abundant life.
The Holy Spirit wrote the one word through Holy men of God, His prophets by the Holy Spirit, so how is it possible that the church of Christ can be so screwed up?
The Answer is... God does not dwell in temples made by hands! (They can kick against the pricks all their life until they die, but God will not negate His word for them.)
I hear people in the back slidden religious/church's of Jesus Christ proclaiming to the people in the world...
Man wrote the KJV bible... it's not true... It's corrupted etc.
One man said to me in my first days in bondage and captivity of that religion in Ampthill, Bedfordshire, (that I was Baptised in yet saw no differance in my life, neither could tell any difference in the lives of the people who went to that denomination from the people in the world.) and as he slapped the back of my KJV bible with the back of his hand while I was holding it in my hand, he said... "Prove to me God wrote that bible and I will believe it." He was in charge of the media for that ministry.
The religious pastor said... Everyone has their own personal walk with God. God asks... 'Can two walk together, excet they be agreed?'
And another prominant person in that idol/s of stone and wood/church made by mans hands, smirked at me because I chose to read and trust in the KJV bible while he chooses to read and believe his many copyrighted different (Confusion in God's word means Witchcraft...) bibles, written after the KJV to make nothing but money and to corrupt the word of God. (satan has always corrupted God's word right from the Garden, (God didn't say?)
The KJV is protected under the law of the Crown of England and is copyright free for ever.
My life is a testimony of the truth, as the Holy Ghost has applied His Word into my life and has enabled me and empowered me to walk in it, sadly... that man's life and the back sliden church's of Jesus Christ lives are just a testimony of their religion's, church’s, denomination's and ministry's 'articals of faith' belief's. Powerless.
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
If you want to see if you have a corrupted (Not the KJV) bible? here are just two of many, check and see if they have removed the only one time the word 'Lucifer,' Isiaha 14:12 appears, that is and always has been in the KJV Bible, word of God. (or how else would you know satan's name?) You will not find it.
Also see if your bible has removed the words from Acts 8:37. 'I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.' (How important is that verse to your salvation?) but men of their god (g) claime 'they were never in there from the first, man had added them in later.'
If you are reading and studying the truth, God will give you the truth by the Holy Ghost. But if you read corruption, you will end up corrupted your self.
'and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.'
But... I am a believer and cannot understand 'Old ye English' writting! I hear them say.
Many teenagers in the world are getting degree's in 'Shakespeare's, Old ye English' and they don't beleive in God let alone claiming to have the Holy Ghost (the comforter) that wrote the word of God and teachers us all things that Jesus has said...
'Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.'
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and staff, they comfort me.'
Well, I am now by God's grace a testimony of His Grace, Word, Spirit and Life in me... The abundant life, that He promised us all from the beginng of creation, 6,000 years ago (we have now entered the 7,000th 'The millennium', the time Christ will return, rule and reign upon this earth. Praise the Lord.) and promises me that He will keep me from falling into error, deception and praise God, before He comes, there shall be a falling away first, (falling out of apostasy and back into the truth.) Amen.
There has always been apostasy from the garden of Eden to Noah's day. Exodus to judges, etc. King david to Jesus Christ and the same today.
For some 'falling away' means falling into apostasy, No, it means falling away from apostasy to Christ. Being caught up in the air to be with the Lord always.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
People of the world and the Back slidden church, DON'T MISS THE FIRST FLIGHT OFF THIS PLANET.
'For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.'
I still am looking for others who are of like minded, like as David said, 'As I so journey alone with you.' Jesus walks alone with me too, no one wants Him. They want thier darkness, so the world will walk in the shadow of it. (death.)
The people which sat in darkness Saw great light; And to them which sat in the region and shadow of death Light is sprung up.
Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. The mother of harlots and abominations of the earth.
'And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
By grace alone, I have the Life, and shine my light, 'In him was life; and the life was the light of men.'
As like Graham, he would not listen or care, his heart and the church hearts were and are hardened because they reject the truth.
For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest at any time they should see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And should understand with their heart, And should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gosple of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Jesus emphasise in the word, 'Go shine your light.' The truth, and it will open the eyes of them that are blind. In bondage and captivity.
'For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulder's; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.'
The deciples asked Jesus a question about the signs of the end times, Jesus replyed with these statements...
'Take head that no man deceive you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.' 'And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shallwax cold.'
After I prayed to God to deliver me from all deceptions and lies, I was then by God alone, delivered from religion, and then the Lord opened my eyes greater to His word than every I had understood before.
God cannot give you the truth unless you chose to want to turn to the truth and turn from the lie, and only then will he open your eyes. Repent... Turn.
Then... God gave me the full understanding of Ephesians 6:12, the first bible verse a man showed me when I was 49 in 2010. God sent him to a shop in Dunstanble bedfordshire to give me that verse and then left. Now God is opening my eyes to it as I was now free.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Principalities... Areas, diocese e.g. prince of Wales. Ruler in the palities of Wales.
Powers... 'the doctrine of the Nicolaitians, which thing I hate'. Jesus said.
The deeds of the Nicolaitians... (victorious, power over people,) 'which thing I also hate'. Jesus said.
Rulers of the darkness... (false gospel,) Jesus is the light, the true gospel.
spiritual wickedness in high places... Every King, Presidents, Priministers have a religious leader standing next to them, in high places.
Several years ago or so, I called out in my living room, "satan, let my people go."
Today, now in Australia by His way, God has called and sent me, through His Spirit and by His Spirit alone, to stand in the gap for the people and to deliver His church from religions, the gates of hell.
Jesus was telling Peter who was going to build His church... 'upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.'
God does not dwell in temples made by hands. Steven in Acts ch7 was stoned for testifying this, Paul in ch17 was persecuted testifying this, and Jesus was crucified for being a testimony of this. Who am I...
There is much blood on the hands of many past and prescent, because of the iniquities of our fathers.
But fear not, Jesus has come again... 'keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.'
This time has now come again, for the last time.
'...to heal the brocken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, (My past friends/pastor and the brothers and sisters in the ministry I once was in bondage to and in captivity until God delivered me form them.) He is our deliverer, praise God... and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.'
As I just said... This time has come again, for the last time. God/Jesus is delivering His church to now be ready to come, Lord Jesus come.
God says... 'Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!' (didn't we do! they said.)
Finally...
One day I was on the number 48 bus to Belmont North, coming back to where I rented and lived and was content with. What I had and where I was with God in life and loving it, as we who trust in the Lord should be... as I got off the Number 48 Bus to belmont North, I walked past some units that I thought were private units as they looked so brill and modern to what housing has many of. I looked up at one and said, "Lord, I would like to live in somthing like that." anyhow, (Durring a Housing Crises) five to six weeks later, Housing phoned me and said, "Mr Bradley, we have found a place for you to live, and you will like it."
I am now living, since September 2022 in the same unit I looked up to and prayed to my Lord and God about. And housing never knew until I testified to them what God did for me. God is in control.
A big unit, ten years old, with a balcony and view over a grass feild.
Signs following: Address, Unit 10/71 Old Belmont road. Belmont North.
Signs following: 10 in God's word means completion, 7 is perfection, 1 is God. Belmont means 'Beautiful mountain' and God lives in the North and in me.
The stone was cut out of the mountain without hands. Danuiel 2:45.
Well, I now spend a lot of time at Warners Bay, where my mother lived for 36 years until she died in 2016. God said to me one day as I was running across the road after buying some chips fom the corner chippy on the Bay front. "This is where you belong". Warners bay, to warn the back sliden church of Jesus Christ, to repent.
254 years ago in 1770 God sent a Yorkshire man to Australia to do His work. Today I, Philip Norman Bradley, who was brought up down the road about 7km from where Captain Cook was born, was Schooled and who sailed from Whitby, North Yourshire, to Australia. Has now sent another Yorkshire man to Australia as a testimony of the truth, and to testify of the truth.
And the truth is... as God's word says... 'Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,'
'seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;'
I hear the same one verse over and over and over and over again, everytime from the religious spirits, "we must not forsake the assembling together."
They never can finnish the whole verse...
'Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
This verse is written for the deciples who have been delivered from religions and temple worship but have chosen to just stay at home. Paul is guiding them that we must, once saved, (saved from religions,) stay together or we could through lonelieness and want/need, draw back.
As deciples we must watch over the flock of God. Together as the true church of Jesus Christ. (and not for money.)
satan needs money to fund his deceptions, God needs faith to keep His church alive.
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition;
(for we walk by faith, not by sight:)
They can assemble them selves in the millions , and they do, (and for the love of money, have millions,) but it will not and never negate God's word. 'God dwelleth not in temples made by hands. 'Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,'
'seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;'
'Follow me,' Jesus said.
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
'I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters;'
John finishes his book, 1 John with these few words, 'Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.'
The word Christian or Christian's appears three times in God's word (not including headings that man added later for references.) The word deciple, deciples appears over 270 times.
The word Christian means, believer in Jesus.
The word deciple means follower of Jesus.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Repent does not mean 'turn from your sins,' if we could do that we would not need the grace of God, we could just do it our selves. No! Repent means, turn to a new way of thinking. 'A new and living way.' and by being Baptied (the correct way) 'for the remission of our sins. 'The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,)'
Is God calling you? If not, then ask Him, "Why God, why are you not calling me?"
And if you are the called according to his purpose, then forgive them, for they know not what they do.
If you have said the sinners pray, Repent, as this is not scriptual, it is a lie from the pits of hell.
God's commandment is to be baptised in water, Jesus showed us how and confirmed it as a second witness in the acts 8:37...
'And he said unto them, Go ye 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.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Baptism is the way, not a man made/religions prayer.
If you were baptised as a baby/child then it is false, not scriptual. A lie from the pits of hell. God says...
'Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.'
A young child or baby cannot confess who Jesus is, which is an understanding of who you will be receiving in your body. His church/temple to be.
You cannot have your sins, (worshipping other gods,) remitted unless you are baptised in water by a man of truth not a religion or a religious person that God does not dwell in, made with mans hands.
John the baptist and Jesus called the religion's of that day, and today, the same yesterday, today and forever... vipers and serpents, (they bite and poision you.)
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Who in the word of God is referredto as a serpent? satan himself.
'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.
'But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.'
Jesus proclaimed... 'and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.'
Why then when God says... 'Train up a child in the way he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it.' Why do all the children of today and past generations walk away from God and join the world?
Because they were never brought up in the way of God, but only the way of Godless, man made religions, that God does not dwell in.
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
May God bless you all abundantly who read my testimony of God's grace in my life, '''in the name''' of Jesus Christ. Who is in control, and is faithful. For ever and ever. Amen.
