The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth

"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you."

(New Testament John 16:13 - 15)

The Baptism of Fire and of the Holy Ghost.




The baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost:

I am here also to show by experience what really happens when one is baptized with fire and what to truly expect. Only then one can compare with what it is written in the Holy Scriptures and glorify God for being the same yesterday, today and forever. All of those that have been truly born again of Jesus Christ have a great tell to tell concerning this sanctifying, powerful, uplifting and joyous experience. And I hope that many will relate to it. Inasmuch that it makes the author boastfully exclaim that whosoever has not been born again of Jesus Christ after the pattern of the gospel given of him does not know what joy is. And we all exist with the express purpose to have joy.

The reception of the gift of the Holy Ghost is indeed a tale of life changing supernatural spiritual awakening. It is given to those that obey God. It is the express sanctification process of which it is spoken, promised and prophesied should be available to all that overcome in the latter days. This experience was, is and should be the crowning episode most desired and hoped for in the life of the children of men. This is what the scriptures call the baptism of fire or the process of sanctification and purification by refiner’s fire conducted by God himself though the fullness of the Holy Ghost. This is the point in the spiritual growth of the children of men knows with absolute certainty that they will inherit eternal life in the kingdom of God. And concerning this it is written:

“Except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.”
John 3:3-6

To be born again is a most powerful and glorious spiritual experience, yet it is not as mysterious as it appears. It requires a leap of faith beyond the standards. Salvation and exaltation are individual pursuits and efforts. So we must do an effort to reach God beyond the common effort. Marvel not. At some point or another in life, in death or after death all persons will go through it. They just have to want it as one needs air to breath. The sooner it happens in life the better it is. It is only sad to see that this glorious experience takes place, for the most part, to those in the autumn of their lives or after when once can hardly notice the difference between an old person and a child born of God. And usually these old people do not tell of their great tale. Often they take this secret with them to the grave. It happens, yet we do not necessarily have to wait until the end of life to be born again.

Being born again is the process of spiritually rectifying all our sinful actions in life by faith in the atoning merits of Jesus Christ. When it happens, the Holy Ghost falls upon a person. A person is overpowered and overshadowed by the personage of the Holy Ghost which bears record of the father and of the son. This personage is a spirit and he is a member of the Holy trinity. This personage of spirit enters our body in the form of a dove and establishes full contact with our spirit. It is a most holy anointing. It tells your spirit and every fiber in your physical body that God is your Father and that you are his son.

If we remember well, the Holy Ghost fell upon Jesus Christ while he was alive and remained on him until his death. It bore record that God was His father and that he was his only begotten son. It also recorded everything in the life of the master, for it got impregnated by the Holiness of our Lord. Thus, when the Holy Ghost falls upon us, it is as if God the Father and God the Son were getting inside our body. And by the power of God recorded by the Holy Ghost it erases all of our impurities. And it stamps us Sons of the living God also. And thus it is how we are born of Jesus Christ. He becomes our father and we become his sons and his daughters. And He is in us and we are in him in the same way that he is in the Father and the Father is in him. And that is how we all become one. And we are one with him as he is one with us. And we are all one. And all things are subject unto us as all things are subject unto him whether in life or in death.

And if Jesus Christ is the son of God, he must be a God in direct line also. It means that besides him there is no God. And when we are born of him by the baptism of fire, we become like him and coinheritor with him of all the things that God his father has given him. Is not this being a god also? And I can go on forever saying things that he has taught me about this, but let if be sufficient for now. I do not want to spoil entirely your own sanctification process. But when it happens you will relate and understand the pattern.

The point of the matter is that spiritual fire erases all the scars and spiritual defects created by sin in the life of a person. All events of life flash in an instant in our mind. Then it erases the mind of false knowledge and impurities It changes the heart of a person form a stony hart to a human heart. It also heals the physical body where needed and also stamps new personal information in our soul. And if you are dead or dying when it happening and you are not appointed to die you are actually resurrected or vivified by the power of God in the process.

After that, life is never the same. This spiritual experience elevates the soul inside a person to the highest realms of heaven. One does not have to wait until judgment day to be judged. If one has sufficient faith one can precipitate judgment and get it over with. Be prepared though, for the penalty for sin is death and before mercy can take effect justice has to be fully satisfied. And if one has sinned beyond the atoning merits of Jesus Christ, even after fully repenting one must surely die. And God willing once may during the process resurrect.

Depending on the circumstances, many spiritual battles are fought during spiritual rebirth. Some of us are baptized by fire in battles of spiritual combat. The process also resets the clock inside a person’s spiritual life. It literally transports the spirit in backwards in time as far as possible depending on the circumstances making everything in the life of that person straight from birth before the eyes of God.

Thus this is also why it was said by John the Baptist when he preached for us to make the path of the Lord Straight. Making the path of the Lord straight is fixing or rectifying all the mistakes of ones life and it can only be done by traveling back through time. Jesus Christ guides you thru it. It happens in an instant. You whole life flashes before you and as you return your mistakes are fixed, especially if they affected other people’s lives.

Being born again is so wonderful. Depending on the wishes of your heart you can travel back much father and only not rectify your mistakes but also the mistakes of your family and friends all the way back to Adam. Thus you become an heir of Salvation to your ancestors and great many people. For during that process you can afflict your soul and make an offering for sin unto the Lord. These are doctrines that distil from heaven and many will not grasp them entirely. But the point of the matter is that nothing is impossible unto God.

And when it all ends, it is like being born again, even like a little child. The scriptures mean what they say. People in ignorance embellish, derogate, fantasize, dilute or miss interpret this experience from what it is to what it is not. Being born again of God as a child is in fact a spiritual rebirth. We all should seek after it. It is the fountain of eternal youth. I do not believe it could happen, for I know it can happen as a matter of fact. And of this I bear witness for I experienced and I say it in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

And many great and wonderful things take place along with being truly born again. When you begin to interact again with loved ones and relatives, you are able to discern their spirits as brothers and sisters of your own. Not as mother, father, wife, husband son or daughter. Everybody, including your own children appear to be older and wiser. Graciously, your own children may mock you and unintentionally make fun of you because you literally become dumb and appear to act in every which way as a little child. One even endeavors to play and to commune with a one year old child as if both were best friends of the same age. The love for of one to another is amazing.

Little children do what children do best. And it is to play. At times it becomes more important to watch cartoons than to eat. And you learn so much from it that it is actually a miracle how God prepares little children in every which way. You can literally see God working for you and guiding you taken by the hand step by step in all that you need to re learn. All things work for our purpose and God is the actor of all. He is also in control of all things.

And in solitude, after being born again one only desires to glorify and to praise God and to sing hymns or new songs and to adore God in ways never anticipated. You feel his love and he feels your. You can talk or discus anything you want with him and he will respond back each and every time. Jesus Christ if our faithful friend. A new name is given to you that only the receptor of it knows what the name is. It is the most marvelous thing one can ever obtain. I am telling you. It is like a white stone or merely a revelation. One can hardly believe that this mighty change is happening.

Also, the language of the mouth becomes somewhat irrelevant and your spirit communicates by groaning and breath taking exhilarations with the heavens in many different ways, especially in ways to praise God. One feels overpowered by the spirit inasmuch that one can sense the mere presence of God walking besides you. The steps that God make you also make. Or the things that he did you also are able to do. Nothing is impossible ever after. Yet, a light walk in darkness and darkness comprehends it not.

It does not end there. A person also feels an outburst of joy never experienced before. It is the sweetest thing a human being can taste. One feels a literal Son born of the living God. Then, it takes time to remember the life as it were.

When resurrected from the dead, one does not know whether or not it is licit to eat. And the way to rebuild your intellect is very mysterious and exciting. The eyes are opened, and reading the scriptures becomes more desirable than food or the love for women. The Holy Scriptures become open to the eyes of our understanding. And also plain and powerful as never before and all truth becomes clearer.

After several days, weeks and, even months or even years, when reality sinks in due to modern life necessities, it is horrible. One really feels out of place. One even feels and claims to be a stranger in a strange land wandering among a strange people. The world is not responsive to your needs and it even rejects you. It becomes a lone and dreary world. One must seek and depend of God continually in order to survive. It feels really lonely sometimes, for the spirit is shocked as if it falling hard from a celestial abode. Then one gets uses to be a stranger among a strange people.

Then, one begins the analysis process of the overwhelming spiritual experience. And a set of spiritual manifestation of all sorts are broadcasted both to and from you. There are revelations, dreams, heavenly communications, prophesying, healing, discernment of spirits and operations and new knowledge of all sorts. One even performs strange acts of faith that cannot be communicated due to its sacredness; and most importantly, one receives a testimony of the divinity or of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and a reassurance that you will indeed inherit eternal life. I am not making all this up. I experienced and the same thing happened to Adam and Eve and of that it is written:

“And in that day the Holy Ghost fell upon Adam, which beareth record of the Father and the Son, saying: I am the Only Begotten of the Father from the beginning, henceforth and forever, that as thou hast fallen thou mayest be redeemed, and all mankind, even as many as will. And in that day Adam blessed God and was filled, and began to prophesy concerning all the families of the earth, saying: Blessed be the name of God, for because of my transgression my eyes are opened, and in this life I shall have joy, and again in the flesh I shall see God. And Eve, his wife, heard all these things and was glad, saying: Were it not for our transgression we never should have had seed, and never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth unto all the obedient.”

Then, for many moons or forever thereafter, the Holy Ghost becomes your constant companion in all endeavors unit you are ready to take over your own life again. And the spirit of truth comes whenever it is needed. It manifests the truth of all things and guides us to many treasures of knowledge. It feels as if Jesus Christ was right there besides you at all times, yet you may or may not see him personally.

“Howbeit, when he the spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth, for he shall not speak of himself: but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and he will show you things to come.”
John 16:13-16

Thereafter life as a whole becomes plainer. Being born of the spirit of God makes one like the wind. One does not see it. One does not know where it comes from or where it goes. One has to take life as the Lord Jesus Christ counseled. One day at the time. It is hard to plan ahead and set goals because it is the spirit of God that dictates what should be your best action for the day or the best choices in life as they come. Consequently all fears about life or death are gone with the exception of the fear God and to sin. The overall experience is incredible. One still makes mistakes and one definitely has the ability to make choices, yet in wisdom and full understanding of the consequences.

These things that I have said I have experienced; I would not know them otherwise; and they do not include miracles and other wonders that you and I may already be familiar with. Yet the signs follow only those that have faith and these signs and wonders indeed are marvelous and beyond description. For thus it is written:

“Therefore, as I said unto mine apostles I say unto to you again; That every soul who believeth in your words, and is baptized by water for the remission of sin shall receive the Holy Ghost. And these signs shall follow them that believe- In my name they shall do many wonderful works;”
D & C 84:-64-73

The Lord Jesus Christ also said to his disciples in Jerusalem that he had other sheep that were not of the fold to which he and his apostles preached the gospel in land of Jerusalem and its whereabouts. Therefore, when He, the Lord Jesus Christ, appeared to the other sheep of which he spoke after his resurrection and ascension into heaven, He descended again to visit them and these are some of the words he spoke to these other peoples:

“Repent all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me and be baptized in my name that ye may be sanctified by the reception of the Holy Ghost.”
3 Nephi 27:20

As one may easily perceive this sanctification is a process. It may happen to anyone at anytime yet not without the necessary prerequisites. There is always a pattern in all things. This I say because the devil is snaring continually to se whom to devour and there are also many lying spirits. Not everybody that say that they have been born again are born again. One must follow the gospel of Jesus Christ. And again this is the gospel: First, Faith in Jesus Christ and in none else; Second, Repentance; Third, baptism of immersion for the remissions of sins; and forth, the hope for the gift of the Holy Ghost, which after the baptism of fire is the gift of eternal life.

You have been served my fellow readers; hereafter you have no excuse for the light has been plainly shown unto you. All you have to do is to follow the path and find a way to obtain your blessings. And there is only one place upon the face of the earth and below the heaven where you can get them. And it is in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I recommend that you investigate this religion more fully and determine what do they have that all others don’t. And I can tell you right now. It is the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the royal priesthood to perform these ordinances. Everybody else without exception is impostor. They do not even have the authority to preach the gospel.

If it is eternal life you desire, this is the only way; for that is the only true church of God and established Kingdom of God upon this planet. And God is well please with it, speaking of the church collectively and not individually. Another way more or less than this will not give you the expected results unless you are satisfied with mediocre felicity. Salvation alone is what other churches preach and sell. If you desire to continue paying for something that is free keep doing what you have hitherto been doing. All they do is to sell something that is free already. Whether you believe or not now in Christ you will be saved. Sooner or later we all bend the knee. But most will not enter his Kingdom where God the father and Jesus Christ dwells. Why settle for little, brethren when you can have it all, even all that Jesus Christ has.

Please give let us give heed to the words of God and exercise faith in Jesus Christ, repent of all of our transgressions. Then, all we have to do is get baptized by immersion in order to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. And then we can expect the sanctification process which is the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost. Whether in this life or in the next, I guarantee you will receive it.

If the mountain does not come to you, please go to the mountain. Show unto God your disposition before you are commanded to do so either by the perils of the world or by the sermons of heaven. And tell them, even the Elders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints that you want your blessings right away so that you may also experience the fullness of these things in due process of time.

Something more or less than this is not of God. I am reaching for you as much as I can, so that you step in this, the right side of the river. Go, Go, hurry up and get your blessing for the kingdom of God is here and the end of the harvest is at hand. The ax has been placed at the root of every three and every three that does not produce good fruits will be cut off and cast into the fire. These are not my words. These are the words of God; and they are plainly given unto us in the plainness of our language for our plain understanding. Only after doing these things, then we can have hope to be able to stand at the brightness of his coming.

Without the Gospel we will not make it when he comes to select his jewels. Remember that you and I existed even before the foundation of the world and that all this was already taught unto us. If you feel a familiarity with my words it is only because we have heard this song before. Our eternal progress depends on our obedience to the Gospel and the commandments of God.
