I was raised Catholic. I always knew there was only one God. He was far away in heaven. I believed Jesus is Messiah, the Son of God. I could never understand how He as a man in heaven could become a baby. when I was 25 I was baptized into the First Christian Church. I was good on Sunday and lived like the devil the rest of the time. In 1991, during the Persian Gulf War,I began questioning what I was taught. I believe all the prayer nationwide during that time was a big key to my searching.
A tragedy happened and God sent a oneness person to me.Actually she was a messianic jewess who believed in Jesus. She showed me Act 2:38. I saw it and believed and obeyed. I still knew nothing about the Holy Ghost. She baptized me in the name of Jesus. I called my son and told him that he needed to be baptized again, this time in the name of Jesus. Two days later God sent someone to him to confirm what I had told him. So he also obeyed. Months later I visited an Apostolic Pentecostal church. It is there I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues.
In 17 years I have never stopped speaking in tongues. It is the Holy Ghost interceding for me to my Father. What a difference. I felt such love. I was there for 15 years. I learned everything I could and avidly studied the scriptures. I became distressed over some issues, so I prayed to the Lord to show me how He sees these issues. He new my heart and so I left UPC for 1 and a half years. I went to an evangelical church. They have the Holy Ghost. They love God.
personally recieved a physical healing there. But I had been baptized into the deep rivers of pentecost and after a year and a half felt so dry. The Lord answered most of my issues. I have the right to wear jewelry. It is not a sin. But I finally understood that if I had to take off the jewelry and the makeup to have the deep flow then that is what I would do. It is a sacrifice of love to the Lord, not a rule.God honors the offer of sacrifice.
It is freely given to Him from me and that is what the Lord wants from all of us.I is a deep level of consecration and worth it all. I say to all of you who blast the others who wear jewelry and makeup, youd better be careful because Jesus said if they are for me they cannot be against me, and who is anyone to judge anothers servant. These people belong to God and it is He who searches the hearts. I will also say to those who are still trinitarian this scripture: Acts 19.
The apostle Paul found some disciples and asked them if they had the Holy Ghost and they said we have not so much as heard of the Holy Ghost. Paul said what baptism were you baptized with and they said, Johns baptism. Paul said John baptized for repentance, but you must be baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins and be filled with the Holy Ghost with speaking in tongues. So they obeyed and were {again }baptized, this time in Jesus name.Please, read this chapter for yourself: it really is there.
Please dont allow pride to keep you from obeying this scripture. Please, just take the next step and be rebaptized. Even the Apostles were baptized with Johns baptism and {again} baptized in Jesus name. So I went back to the UPC. Do I now agree with everything? NO!! But I have found that there is no other place where the deepness of the Holy Ghost is found. Ive been in Kenneth Hagins church, Ive been in Billy Joe Daughertyis church, Oral Roberts church. All godly men but none with the deepness.
Because I believe the difference is obedience to baptism in Jesus name. I will allow no pride to keep me from the full gospel power that is mine. Please I appeal to you as a believer , TAKE THE NEXT STEP!
