I don’t just celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ after He died on Calvary for this world’s sin, spent time in Hell to take the keys of death, Hell, and the grave from Satan, or that He came back to life so humanity would be able to be restored through Faith in His sacrifice for every believer. I celebrate the Resurrection of MY Savior Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God Almighty because HE did all of this for ME! He split time and changed our world from B.C. to A.D with His Sacrifice and return to life to reclaim a fallen world and fallen humanity that were bound for Hell.
My Faith is PERSONAL. While I believe in the Christian Bible, both Old and New Testaments, I also have felt the Holy Spirit touch my heart, mind, soul, and body over the past 40 years. It’s PERSONAL. I don’t follow a set of rules or regulations to be SAVED. I accepted Jesus Christ as MY PERSONAL SAVIOR when I was 8 years old. That restored me to have a relationship with God Almighty through His Son. That was enough to keep me from losing my soul to the price of the power of the air, otherwise known as Satan who was once Lucifer, the angel who led worship in Heaven.
It was enough to regain my place to go to Heaven, but then the Holy Spirit touched me in church service in a way that only those who know Him and His gifts can explain. The service suddenly became completely quiet, and I called out to the pastor and asked to receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of Speaking in Other Tongues. He smiled and said, ‘Come on down!” to the altar to pray for the infilling. The pastor prayed with and for me, and when he simply touched my forehead, the feeling of absolute love and acceptance filled my entire being and overwhelmed all else.
I have allowed the Holy Spirit to give Messages in Tongues and Interpretations in Tongues through me in church services whenever the Lord ordained it to be. These are facts. No one programmed me, trained me, or brainwashed me to believe any of this. I’ve studied proven history, I pray in English and the Holy Spirit, and I know the Presence of the Holy Spirit like I know my own existence. You can be SAVED by accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior, and you don’t have to seek the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, BUT those Gifts were given so we can know that we know that we know.
If Jesus Christ hadn’t been born of His mother Mary through the Holy Spirit placing the cell of God Almighty in her to make Jesus be born without sin then NONE of us could be saved. If Jesus hadn’t given His life to die on the Cross, die in the flesh, visit Hell to claim what Satan had taken by sin, and then come alive again in a glorified body then NONE of us could be SAVED either. BUT IT HAPPENED! That glorious RESURRECTION MORNING changed the course of humanity once again. The Holy Spirit was sent to help believers to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We each have a choice. We can believe the lies of this fallen world and people who refuse to believe in even a Creator OR we can accept Jesus Christ as Savior, Lord, King, and God Almighty incarnate as the Son (in the flesh). It might seem like one of the superhero or Japanese Anime stories that always have the one character who saves the world. That’s because even those who refuse Jesus Christ all know somewhere inside that they need a Savior. We are ALL in need of THE ONE TRUE SAVIOR. ALL of the fictional stories are based on the need we feel but keep refusing.
You KNOW you NEED a Savior. You KNOW you NEED Restored to the Creator. You might follow other gods or deities that are false and will only lead to destruction. Jesus Christ is as real as I am. I could have died so many times in my life without His Touch, His Grace, His Mercy, His Holy Spirit, and His Promise for an Eternity with Him IF I keep on believing in spite of the craziness of this world that is trying to change history and everything I know for sure happened or is real right now. NO ONE can make me change my mind, heart, or soul. I BELONG TO JESUS CHRIST FOREVER.
Jesus Christ gave His life for ME. He knew I’d fail Him often. He knew when I would fall short. He knew when I would need His blood to fall on my name every single time I sinned even after I became His. He KNEW. He STILL did it. He also knows about you and how you will never be perfect because NONE of us can be. HE IS because HE IS “I AM”! Jesus was born on Earth, but He was also in the beginning when this world was created and that aspect of God Almighty KNEW when humanity was created that HE would have to be born as Jesus Christ, die, and resurrect for ALL OF US.
Each one simply needs to believe He did it for them and then try to become the restored one for Him. Not to be an automaton, a clone, or a mindless puppet. This is PERSONAL. He will have His Holy Spirit rebirth your spirit that was dead when you were born due to sin in your blood, but Faith reclaims you. THAT is Salvation. The Holy Spirit came to bring more abilities to use as you preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ as His believers and joint-heirs to God Almighty as He promised with HisWord who became flesh and dwelt among us to die and then live again FOR US to KNOW HIM!
“He lives! He lives! Christ Jesus lives today! He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way! He lives! He lives! Salvation to impart! You ask me how I KNOW HE LIVES… HE LIVES WITHIN MY HEART!” The words are more than words, they are a proclamation of the TRUTH we KNOW. I watched the History Channels; THE BIBLE and cried and spoke in the Spirit as the Holy Spirit was shown as coming to the apostles as the Bible said it did. This movie was made by man, and it has flaws just like we all do, but it has an anointing, and I celebrated with it.
This world might try to silence me, and it might even try to kill me, but Jesus Christ is ALIVE, sitting on the throne in Heaven, praying for every believer, and waiting for the time to return in the sky to then remove Christians and Messianic Jews from this world before the Great Tribulation begins. Times will be hard before even the first judgement comes, but His people will be taken to safety until the last trumpet, bowl, and vial are done, and then Jesus Christ will return WITH all of US who serve Him, and He will defeat the anti-Christ and sit on the throne in Jerusalem as KING.
These are the future prophecies yet to be fulfilled, but the only present prophecy that still needs to be completed BEFORE Jesus Christ returns is the last person to accept Jesus as Savior in this time period known as the Church Age or Grace Dispensation. Will you be one of the last? Will you help others that still need Him? Will you follow Jesus Christ as one of His believers in His Grace for all who are willing to accept His blood for their sins? Saul of Tarsus became Paul the apostle to begin churches and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. ANYONE can accept Jesus as Savior and change!
Accept God Almighty’s Grace through Jesus Christ and allow Him to SAVE you, give to you His Holy Spirit and Gifts to reach the rest of the world, and do what you can to be one of HIS. No other religion or belief system has the very one worshipped also be the one who saved those worshipping. Jesus Christ did and still does. His Holy Spirit is waiting to give you a new life, new abilities, and a new purpose. It’s not going to be that easy, and it might get hard to deal with the world when they turn on Christians the way Rome did so long ago, but Jesus is WITH US. FEEL HIM. KNOW HIM!
“Father God of Creation, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe Jesus was born sinless, died for my sins in the cross, and rose again so I can be accepted by You as I believe His blood paid the price for the sin in my blood by birth. I accept Jesus Christ as my Savior, Lord, King, and Son of God Almighty of Creation. Forgive me and send me to do what You would have me to do for others, and help me to believe in the times I fail to see Your path for my life. In the name of Jesus Christ I ask, Father God Almighty of Creation, and give Your Gifts of the Holy Spirit anew. Amen.”
