I baptized you with rain water!..

’It’s been my 1 and a half years of following Jesus. I already made my 2 sisters and my father a disciple of Jesus and baptized them.

December 24 in the evening i made and baptized someone. She ask me to read any scriptures in the bible because she couldn’t sleep.
I read her one of the scripture in revelation beside in her bed. When i stop reading for her, thought that she is in asleep. After a while she ask me to read again some scriptures in the bible and i read again.

As i read the bible once again, i remember what kuya Molong said,learn to hear from god in any situation. So i ask God what to do in this kind of situation and i have the felling to stop reading and start preaching the Good News to her.

Are you save already?
I’m not sure if I’m save because i have been committing wrongdoings,she replied.
I explain to her the story of love of the father.

Their was a father whose son disobeyed to clean up his his room one morning. The son insisted and they ended up fighting over words. The son was disappointed and run outside the house banging on the door behind him. He went through the gate and suddenly run by a truck.
He was hit hard, rolled over and bump his head into the rock and finally drop his body into side of the roads canal. The driver jump over from car while his father was running from the house. He heard the sound of what was the accident. Both of them meet on the spot where the boy was laid. To there dismay the accident took his life instantly. The fearful driver meets the angry man but crying to his curiosity he ask’ “ Is he your son?”

What do you think the father would say?
“Any father would never deny his son just because of sin” she said.
“The good news is that God has already dealt our sin” I said.
That story is like your situation you do made sin but opposite in the story God was not angry on what you do. He already paid and forgive all your sins in the cross. Although you are dead because of your trespasses God is welling to accept you this time and want you to be a new creation, and finally I ask her.
“Are save now?”

“Yes i am now”. she said gladly

“Do you believe that Jesus died for you,paid and forgive you of all your wrongdoings?” ask her.

“I do believe that Jesus died for me” she response

“Are you willing to repent and leave your sin and be baptized?”
‘Repentance is to change, to be born again and to be born into a new life and leave the old life through baptism”, i added.

Now that you believe the love of God, are you willing to be baptized?

“Yes i am ready but not this time because it is midnight and the water is so cold.
She lived in the mountain where rain water will be catch and put it into a drum.
This is the only water available for baptism. So i baptizes her 7 hours after with cold rain water.

In the book of acts while peter preach the word suddenly the Holy Spirit came and they speak in a tongue before baptism of water and so i just prayed for her to receive the Holy Spirit i laid my hand and prayed her.

OH. sorry i forgot to introduce her.
She is Awling a 47 years old woman and she is my mother.

WHAT IS THE NAME OF YOUR CHURCH?

For our dear Jesus’ sake, we must not have barriers. The way Paul said it was, “A curse be on everyone that does not love the Lord.” There should be no other curses. We must get rid of the walls, the barriers, and the titles. So if there is a church in your town, and there is power in the Blood, then we can be Christians together without having a name. The church we are a part of has been there for over ten years and we have never had a name, truly. When someone asks us, “What is the name of your church?”, we say, “We love Jesus.” If they are a Baptist, then there are no walls. They don’t think of me as the competition, and I invite them to just love Jesus too, with no titles. When someone asks one of our children, “What ‘church’ do you go to?”, they don’t know how to answer that except perhaps with, “Everyone I know loves Jesus.” If someone asks, “What ‘church’ do you attend?”, our children just say, “What do you mean?” They are part of Church every day. They don’t attend “church.” We are the church. And the children know this in their hearts, even when they are very young.

It is very important that we not have titles in our lives. It needs to begin with you and the lives that you reach out to in the religious world. Beg them to please not have walls or barriers. If there is still power in the Blood, we must not have walls. Having a name that is not in the Bible creates walls. Some people say, “But our name is in the Bible. Our ‘church’ is called the ‘Church of God’, and the Bible says that the Church in Corinth is called the ‘Church of God.’ So, we have a name that is in the Bible.” That’s not good thinking because Paul did not call the Church by a title. What he said was, “This is the Church that belongs to God.” It was not “The Church of God in Corinth” but rather God’s people who live in the city of Corinth. It was a description and not a title, and he also called that same group of people by two or three other names. Because it’s a description, there are many names for the Church. But when we make for ourselves one name and become that name, we have trampled on the blood of Christ because we have made walls between us and other people that love Jesus. If you are willing, the best answer when someone asks you, “What is the name of your ‘church’,” is to say, “I love Jesus. Do you?” That is the best answer. Then there are no barriers except whether or not they love Jesus. This is God’s way and the way of the Bible. We are not separated by names. As the apostle said, “Little children, love one another.” This is the thing that we do. We take pride not in our “church,” but in our husband, Jesus. Amen?

Someone I know was talking to a “pastor.” The pastor was very shocked when this person told him that they were the Church. The pastor had only thought of “church” as something that you go to on Sunday morning in a building. So when someone asks you what “church” you are a part of, you can ask God to give you wisdom for how to answer the question. There are hundreds of different answers. As you read the New Testament, you see that the believers could have answered that question hundreds of different ways too, because they had no title. If you ask God for wisdom for how to answer the question, God can show you what to say. But if you have a title and they ask you, “What ‘church’ are you a part of?” you only have one answer—the title. Now if you have no title, you can help draw them closer to Jesus by explaining to them that Jesus is alive and His Body is the Church. It’s not something you go to, it’s something you are. It’s a Family, not an organization. You can say all of these things when someone asks what “church” you are a part of—unless you have a title, because then they won’t believe you. They will think you are just like everyone else that goes to a building, except that maybe you believe different things than they do. But if you have no name, as the Churches in the Bible had no one particular name, then when they ask the name of your “church,” you can tell them about the wonderful Family and Body of Jesus, and His Life living in His people.

DOING IT INSTANTLY….!

May 30, 2010 in the afternoon. I fell bored lying on the bed and couldn’t sleep because there is something bothered and keep irritating in my mind. I rose up in the bed and sat in the chair. Suddenly something comes up in my mind while setting in the chair. Its all about HOW easy and instant we are on HOW we make a disciple of Jesus. I’m thinking about 5 to 15 minutes and baptized them directly. No need more explanation as long as they “BELIEVE and RECEIVE” Jesus Christ in their heart. No need more explanation baptized them directly.Because the more explanation you have the more time you waist.

As my experiences in my making disciple journey. Baptizing 3 people in a day, Not really fast. How did I do that? I only told them that ” I will help you how to follow Jesus Christ” and most of their response? “What is that?” Next thing that I do, I ask them. “Do you believe that Jesus Christ died in the cross because of your sin?” they all said YES! and i continue asking “Are you all willing to repent all your sin and no hesitating to receive him as your savior in life. They all said “YES WE ARE!” and I discussed them about “REPENTANCE AND BAPTISM” and baptized them all directly. After I baptized ” NOW WE WILL WALK TOGETHER WITH JESUS AS A FAMILY.

This is another story of making disciple of Jesus Christ in just an instant. My brother in the lord Jomie the one that I first made disciple of Jesus Christ. He recently baptized 4 people in a week last month it was May. He only spend a minutes each of them and baptized them directly. I’m so proud of you my brother in the Lord. “The faster you are, The more people you will get saved. Keep it up! If you want to read the whole story you can visit his site. Jomiepation.wordpress.com

A DISCIPLES JOB

My Dumaguete trip was very exciting, fun, miraculous and full of amazing surprises happenings.

“TEARS ARE FLOWING THROUGH HER CHICKS… SHE COULDN’T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL”………..
May 1, 2010 I, Kuya molong and Jomie went to Dumaguete to have some healing seminar together with 6 Australian namely: Paul Land, Annette Land wife of Paul, Rachel Land daughter of Paul and Annette, Ian Jenkins, Robin Forward and Lucinda. They are the six who coach us many amazing stuff on “HOW TO HEAL THE SICK”. We ride 3:00 o’clock in Cebu and we all arrived in Dumaguete at 8:00 o’clock in the evening it took about 5 hours to travel because we use to travel a fast craft boat, If we use to ride the ordinary one i think it will took 1 day to travel. when we got there we go directly to a church there. I didn’t expect that many people waiting us. After a while we introduce ourselves and share something about our experiences on healing the sick. it was my first time to talk in front of many people that I haven’t meet before. Then we demonstrate them on how to pray on the sick. The next day May 2, 2010 in the afternoon the group divided into four different location. Me and Jomie together with Robin in one of the community there. We accompanied by a person his name Jonathan to guide us in the community. When we arrived in the community riding a tricycle. Jonathan bring us in a small house, I think it can accommodate only 10 person. Jonathan told us that it is the place that they gathered together to praise god and and have a bible study. They are all 40 people and some of them when they have gathering the others will stay outside because the area is lack of space. When robin preach the Gospel What i find most interesting is even most of them are very old they still read and bring their Bible. Actually when Robin preach the Gospel, Robin asked them to open their Bible to find Mark16: 15,16. There is an old woman who is 60 years old even she could not see clearly Shes trying to find it, But She didn’t.So i approach her and get her Bible and find it for her and I rerad read it to him and explained what actually the message of the verse to her. After sharing the Gospel Robin announced them to come in front to those who who have any illness. most who come in front has Back ache, Asthma, kidney stone, High blood, Heart disease and many other. We prayed them all and some of them get instantly healed and some did not. But we explained to those who did not instantly healed that keep thanking to the lord that the Holy Spirit is working through their body and believe that all of their illness will be healed. While we are still praying to those who have sickness. There is is a woman running to the place where we located. When she got in the door I smiled at her and greet her. She is sweating when She enter the place and she seat down. I call her attention and ask Her if She has some back ache or any illness. She answered me directly YES I HAVE that’s why im in rush going here. Before we prayed her we asked her on what pain or sickness does she have. She says that from the top of her head to the bottom of Her feet has in pain. So I prayed her together with Robin and Jomie and after we prayed her, I asked her of what she fell the moment that we prayed her. She stand up and look at me fixedly, “She couldn’t say anything at all instead she answered me a tears flowing through her chicks and she instantly embrace me”. I also comfort her for a while and said to all the people in there that We are not only here to pray for the sick but also We are here to comfort you all as part of our “FAMILY IN THE LORD”. The woman still crying and I comfortingly said to her. I think you have to give a testimony on what Jesus did in you when we prayed you. She stood up n front of all the people there. She said: We all know that lying is a sin honestly saying to all of you, When they prayed me I fell something unusual in my body.Now I fell very fine and comfortable, All the pain from my head to my feet is gone PRAISE GOD of what he did to me. When we are done praying all the sick, Me, Jomie and Robin going back to the placed where We stayed with a BIG SMILE. Keep in touch in my site for more reports to come in following Jesus path.

FATHERING MY NEXT GENERATION..

I have a cousin who is 9 years old his name is Elmar. We lived in the same house, As a close cousin to him in his young age he need guidance. So i started it when i make him a disciple of Jesus. Here is the story on how i make him a disciple and baptized him. One morning Elmar invited me to go for a swimming and i agree with him. We ride my bike together to the beach and when we got there. We start swim and swim and laugh each other that was pretty fun. Moment past there was a pastor, I think a christian pastor together with 5 teenager they prayed along the shore because one of the teenager will be baptized. The moment that the pastor baptized the guy. Elmar asked me: Kuya what are they doing? My response to him: That is a baptism, that is the sign of receiving Christ in your life as your savior. Those are the i only spoke to him. Actually i already planned before to make Elmar a disciple of Jesus,but I’ve waited a confirmation or the right time, When he asked me about that baptism i didn’t realize, That’s the right time or the best confirmation that I’ve waited for, But i neglected the opportunity. I said to my self God will give me another time. In that day i go to kuya Molong’s` house to visit my family. Kuya Molong asked me to go with him in the city to visit one of his mother in the lord. When we are on the the way to home riding motorbike, We talk something and kuya Molong mentioned Elmar in our topic, and i shared to him what happen Me and Elmar in the beach. The response of kuya Molong of what i shared to him about Elmar he says:”THAT IS THE RIGHT TIME” to make him a disciple because he is curious about the baptism. So i receive a second confirmation about the “RIGHT TIME” from kuya Molong. So when i got home Elmar asked me: Kuya are we going for a swim tomorrow? And my response to him: Yes we will. When morning comes and done all my task in the house. I grab my bike and ride together with Elmar. When we are out in the gate of the house i said to him “I think i will baptized you now” and he has no response. When we are on the way to the beach i open him a question “Do you know Jesus Christ?” he response, Yes i know, and i open him another question, Who is Jesus Christ? and elmar answer with a pause……………………… I don’t know. After that response we laugh together. I’m so happy for his response why? My points of being happy is, this is my right time to let him know who is Jesus in his life. So i shared to him who is Jesus in his life, what Jesus did in his life and finally i explained to him what is the purpose of baptism. When we got to the beach i pray him for a short while and then i baptized him directly. After he rose from the water i congratulate him for he is a new one now and buried his old self. My lesson about this experienced is when you have the RIGHT TIME,RIGHT CONFIRMATION and RIGHT OPPORTUNITY do it directly. As kuya Molong said to me The principle of Photography: “CAPTURE THEM TODAY FOR YOU CANNOT HAVE THEM TOMORROW”
