John the Baptist and Jesus Christ who fulfilled God's plan for us.

Who was John the Baptist? The relative of Jesus, sent by Jehovah to fulfilled his Word. Many times priest were also prophet, Eg Zachariah, Ezekiel or Jeremiah. God did not just pick any Tom,Deck or Henry to go out as his messengers. He always spoke through a priest or prophet such as Zechariah, Ezekiel or Jeremiah. Let's read (Luke 1:5)"In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zachariah, who belonged to the Priestley division of Abijah,his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron ". The priest introduced in verse 5 is a man named Zachariah ,and serving in the division of Abijah. Zachariah was not only a levite, but also a descendant of Aaron. This made Zechariah an Aaronic priest.   Luke also declares that Zechariah " had a wife of the daughter of Aaron and her name was Elizabeth ". So not only is John's dad a descendant of Aaronic but his mother is also in the Aaronic family. This makes John the Baptist full blooded Aaronic, doesn't he?   In Luke 1:6-7 we learn that, Zechariah the high priest was carrying out his Priestley duty in the order of his division. By the time of Jesus birth, the high priest has become a political appointment. As we see today many preachers of the Gospel go out without knowing or believing in the Gospel of the water and the spirit.   In the days of John the Baptist and Jesus, Anna's and caiaphas served as high priest. These men held the duty by political appointment, so there was a legitimate high priest somewhere doing something. This priest was Zechariah who God chose to carry out this apical duty. While Zechariah was on duty an Angele appeared to him with good news, that his wife would bear a son and he was to name him John. God selected this man in his old age to have a child,that is two produce one last priest.   Luke 1:15 says" He will be great in the sight of the Lord. And he will drink no wine or liquor. And he will be filled with the spirit while yet in his mother's womb, and he will turn many of the Son's of Israel back to the Lord God. This means that John will be the representative of all humanity, to carry out God's righteous work. God was going to give a son to Zechariah and Elizabeth, and he would be the last of the High priest of the order of Aaron.   In Malachi 3:1 God tell us that he will send a "messenger" to prepare the way of the Lord. In the context of Malachi, the messenger is always a priest. God through Malachi is speaking to a group of priests with whom he is surely dissatisfied. God promise to those messenger's that He is going to send "MY MESSENGER" who will be messenger of covenant. Is God saying that since the priest of the order of Aaron are not doing their work, he is going to send his own priest? That is a priest after the order of Melchizedek. And this priest is Jesus Christ. And when John the Baptist arrived what does he do?He is most known for baptizing.   And when Jesus wanted to be Baptized, John at first refused. He refused on the basis of his unworthiness, that he was baptizing a baptism of repentance, and Jesus had nothing of which he needed to repent. Jesus, however said "for righteousness let it be done". What righteousness is he talking about?  When Aaron was ordained to be the priest, the ordination services include the" washing " of Aaron and his sons. The particular Hebrew word for wash that is used in the ordination of the priest is not for rinses or for sprinkling, or for pouring but it's a word that means to get all the way into the water. In Judaism baptised means mikva. Which means baptism by immersion. And when Jesus was ready to began his ministry, he said "let it be, this is for righteousness sake". I believed that,John last of the high priest, according to the order of Aaron is baptizing Jesus, the High priest according to the order of Melchizedek. In order word John is transferring authority to the new order of the priesthood; the old order of Aaron is passing away, and now is transferred to Jesus, who is our priest according to the Priestley order of Melchizedek.   What is this authority that is transferred to Jesus? This means all the Sins of the whole world was transfer on Jesus body through His baptism by John the Baptist or all the sins where immersed on his body or Jesus Wash all sins with his baptism (Matthew 3:13-17). Spiritual baptism means " pass on to" In the old testament, the Aaronic has to leg his hands on the sacrificial Lamb and confessed on it all the sins and transgression and iniquity of all the people and put them on the lamb.(Lev.16:21). And this is the same thing in the new testament, John the Baptist who is the dependent of Aaron passed the world sin on Jesus body through his baptism. And Jesus had the authority to received those sins on His body by baptism. That was why Jesus Christ said in(Matthew 28:18)"Then Jesus came to them and said, "All Authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to Me".   And Jesus Christ further carry all the sins on his body to the cross and paid with his own Blood. And has completely saved his believes.   If this is true, then who beside John could have been chosen for this task? John had to be chosen because he was the end of the line for the Aaronic priesthood legitimately passing authority to the new priesthood forever held in Jesus Christ.   And Jesus Christ also testify on to John, that no prophet has ever risen like John the Baptist.   Let's all short a big Hallelujah to our Lord Jesus Christ.

The gospel of the water and the spirit is the only truth.

The Word of God is unchangeable.The word of God is Amen,which means led it be so.It is written "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God" (John 1:1). In the beginning here means, God speed of the gospel of the water and the spirit,he says the spirit of God was moving upon the waters, this means that the spirit of God was looking for that soul which received the baptism of Jesus and the spirit will come and live in him.(Genesis 1)And also in the last chapter of Revelation it is also written"Than the angel showed me the river of the water of life,as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb:(Revelation 22:1). We see here that God said only those who believed in the baptism of Jesus and his blood will be saved and they will inherite the kingdom of God. Unfortunately false preachers and false pastors did not know this truth, thus lake the ability to be saved with their followers.   The word says u shell know the truth and the truth will side u free.If we do not know the truth we can never be saved no matter how good we are.Know this truth means, know the salvation God has given us through the gospel of the water and the spirit.   The Lord Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life.No one comes to the father except through me. (John 14:6).This passage means in order to enter the kingdom of God we must know how Jesus Christ solved the problem of all our sins and the sins of the world. Therefore what is this way and this truth and this life that God what us to know?   The Way,what those it mean?This means the only way Jesus could take our sins was through his baptism (Matthew 3:13-17)Then Jesus came from Galilee to be Jordan to be baptized by John.but John tried to deter him, saying I need to be baptized by you, and do u come to me,Jesus replied, let it be so now;it is proper for us to do this to fulfill a all righteousness.This is the way,and the next day John testify" behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. (John 1:29).   What is the truth, the truth is that Jesus carry this sins on his body and paid with his blood on the cross(1Corinthian 15:3).   And the life means he was raised on the third day and has given us life eternal. All thanks be to god.

A short mediation

Dear sisters and brothers in Christ, By professing the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit, we declare that our faith is secure. Because having Jesus saved with the Water and the Blood, we can well say that we have an incorruptible legacy (1 Peter 1: 4). We know, in fact, that they have been redeemed in a perfect way through the blood of Christ (1 Peter 1: 18-19), which can not be detached from the water of His baptism (1 Peter 3:21). Let's think about it: nothing that Jesus has done is superfluous for our salvation. When he was baptized by John the Baptist, he wanted to fulfill all righteousness (Matthew 3:15). Now if Christ had wanted to give us just one example, He would have said it clearly. Instead, this phrase reveals his desire to satisfy the Father who planned to transfer all the sins of the world on to His Son. It is not true that we talk too much about baptism and little about the Cross, since the two facts of the life of Jesus are closely connected to each other. Instead, we believe that Water and Blood are the way the Lord has saved us. Whoever believes only in the Blood of Christ has an incomplete perception of his own salvation, but whoever professes faith also in the Water, recognizes himself fully saved, having all his own sins taken by Jesus at the time of baptism. I invite everyone to deepen this biblical truth by reading the free Christian books we offer. God bless you all. Marco Massimiliano Soranno (Italy)

the gospel of water and the spirit is nothing but the truth

After taken the pain to read through three different books of pastor Paul c. Jong's books, i realized that my 30 years in the lord was just a waste because i live in total ignorance despite the persistent fasting and prayer for God's anointing and visitation then. But now the water and spirit gospel has giving me reassurance and the confidence to stop any secular work that i was doing for living to go in full time evangelism and visit to churches to distribute pastor Jong's books. i don't care how my family and myself will survive the economic woes in my country now. the Lord i serve shall provide our needs, so fellow coworkers i admonish that we take a defiant action to save perishing ignorant souls because we the Christ ambassadors, thanks .
