ESH-19 ENDLESS LIFE--HERE'S WHAT REAL SALVATION DOES INSIDE OF US.

Christ gave me a heart that is new.
Christ buried my past & it is forever gone.
Christ gave me a fresh new beginning.
Christ ended all my guilt because my sins are on Him.
Christ promises me I have nothing left to fear.

That is the essence of the Gospel, distilled into bite-sized pieces that those early believers could hold on to and meditate upon as God continued the work of their growth through sanctification.
We now come to the most amazing of the Gospel descriptions because it is the clearest statement of what happens to those who get saved from the perspective of those who do not. Next, as we move into chapter 17 of Acts we see that:

If I could share part of my testimony. After 2.5 years of my heart turning toward the Lord, just recently (1 month or 40 days ago) I built a small secret place in my backyard, specifically for the Lord.

I must add, God did speak to me throughout this whole year, even prevented me from sinning and His presence fell on me in a dream of mine. Even just recently I just found out about what that dream meant, 5 months after. The answer was in Job 33 verse 14 to 18. Thank God for His mercy and grace through Jesus Christ. Even the secret place I built was because in the middle of a teaching I was watching, I understood this, like God explicitly asked me:
"Efrain, where is my place in your house, MY OWN place just for ME??"

So, I started building a little shed/room. (Never defiled the room with worldly things). Then, the first night I spent there, which also was the first day of fasting out of 3, and after watching a Christian movie, and then started worshipping, and praying out loud and said:

"Oh Lord, will you look upon me oh Lord? Will You turn Your gaze toward me oh Lord? May this be your dwelling place, for I built this place just for You. Not because you can be contained by anything, for I know that you are everywhere, but just know that I built this just for You, God"

Then after 30 minutes of singing, crying, and praying over and over, I got to a point where I said:
"...evil spirits begone in the name of Jesus..."

I WAS DELIVERED RIGHT THEN AND THERE!!!

When I said, evil spirits begone, in the middle of the sentence my mouth opened really wide on "beGOOOne" and felt the spirits go out from my mouth! And while I was saying that I heard a voice yelling

Then a smile just came to my face, started crying, and said, FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY I AM Free from sexual immorality and all related to that!! I was seeking the Lord truly, but was not truly free, until that amazing day, the Lord said, today is the Day I wanted to do this, and I have heard you Efrain.

Then I grabbed my Bible and said, I will prophecy, but not with my words, but with the Word of God. And just after being delivered I opened the Bible without thinking and I opened it in Jeremiah 30! Titled, "Restoration of Israel and Judah"

Jeremiah 30 v3
"...'For behold, the days are coming.' Says the Lord, 'that I will bring back FROM captivity My people Israel and Judah, ' says the Lord, 'and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.'"

The Lord said, "Efrain YOU were once a captive, but now I've set you free, My Son Jesus, whom Truth you have found and seeked, that Truth has set you free!"

Praise God!!

Days after that, I entered and was a inadvertently a fighter of spiritual warfare, with horrible attacks that felt really bad, but I did share my testimony with my close ones, and was so happy. So I just want to warn you about that, spiritual warfare is real. I was a mere Christian but knew in my heart that something was wrong, we cannot partake in evil and in light. Any sin or chain that separates you from Jesus is not worth it! So please be aware, there are spirits everywhere and in many people, and they don't even know it or deny it! I love reading and learning but just know that truly our fight is not against flesh and blood, it is against the powers of the air, principalities, wicked hosts, but there is One in whom we are victorious! His name is Jesus! Our fight is not necessarily against our own flesh!! Understand that! It is against unclean spirits and demons and powers of the air and all that! But He who the Son sets free is free indeed!

God bless you. To God be the glory!

Furthermore, I love the salvation explanation given here and its distinction from baptism and anything you can do to be saved. Because saving isn't done by any mere human but by the one who was literally punished and crucified in our place for the death we know is the consequences of our sinful natures (hence the need for sacrifice for atoning prior to Jesus coming to satisfy the need to continue in such practices as the early sraelites engaged in).

How grateful I am to be have been called upon by Jesus himself before it became too late! Thank you, Jesus, for replacing my old sinful heart with the heart that now pursues you elevating me from sinner to saver (as I am now compelled to share Christ with anyone who gives me a minute...but make no mistake, I am just the vessel through which our Savior can now use to come through. Making me another saver of Our Savior!!
MARANTHA!

[westleycarter]

Thankyou for these lessons. I am learning so much. I needed some of the harder messages you have taught on.

[coreymueller]

You've got your witnessing down, and all your salvation boxes checked off. You anticipate to hear Him call you good and faithful servant; while saying to others, who thought they were saved, I never knew you

[InGoshen]

Praise God for this teaching regarding baptism is an act of obedience, and not salvation. I have witnessed the Lord transform and changed a 83 year old womans' heart, and others in my walk with Him. however, she, and other was unable to get Baptist unto Jesus name .

[mikelindemann]

[kennethwakefield]

Baptism is an outward sign of an inward happening.

[treejohnson]

Baptism is an act of obedience.
Batptism is an act of testimony as a witness along with the blood and the Holy Spirit.
baptism displays in a temporal form, what God in Christ has done and how Christ by the Holy Spirit has taken up death as propitiation for those who are to receive Him in faith and obtain salvation.
Baptism is a representation of the coming filling of the Holy Spirit.

[jvo]

Get right with God friends, don't wait another day! About 500 prophecies fulfilled hundreds and thousands of years in advance prove the Bible is God's word. Believe and repent, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Romans 10:9-10!

[belindarepose]

There are so many ads that it rakes away from the message

[rodney]

I understand that you've probably never been to jail but you don't get to keep your smartphone in jail they take it from you

[stevengoodpaster]

If Paul had sang praises as Peter did instead of claiming his earthly heritage as a Roman he wouldn’t have had to go to prison for years. He would go eventually but he sped up the process

[NoneNone-gkwt]

I thought jesus paid for all and there is nothing we can do for our salvation.

[pauldonnelly]

Remember only way to repent and be saved by Christ act 11:14-18, Luke 11:9-13 and Zeph 3:9/ acts2:4 just follow only the original gospel tradition teaching not churches beliefs but Jesus will guide and teach you to the end John 10:1-6, 11-16, acts 4:12 and 1 John 2:24-25!

[c.h.r.i.s.t.i.n]

I have the one I think you were looking for! "Hell's Angels"!! (It just seemed like you were looking for an "opposite" kind of oxymoron than thr first one you said.)

[bernardkrantz]

Cryto investors, how much did you give to the Lord? Also according to Acts 2:38 will someone explain why it states that it is necessary. Also everbody is not born lost. How can a baby know what to do? Read the bible before you trust anyone.
