This book reminds me once again of an episode in my life before I was born again of water and the Spirit. Believing only in the blood of the Cross of Jesus as proof of my salvation, I could not achieve an Abraham-like faith. Even if I tried to surrender my whole life to the Lord, it was obvious that I was so far from Him. I was so sorry and miserable when I fell into sin again and again. As a result, I resolved that it would probably be important for me to adopt the name of Abraham or David so that I would not only be loved by Him but also live a sinless life. However, this was not possible afterwards.
Now, through meditation on this book, I am so grateful to be part of the genealogy of Jesus Christ through my faith in the Gospel of the water and the Spirit. Even though I am not a fleshly descendant of Abraham nor do I have a Jewish or Christian name, believing wholeheartedly that the Lord Himself is God who came into this world in human flesh, actually made me His child by cleansing me of all my sins through His baptism and Blood. Being born into this world as a paralytic, I was bound to commit sin even if I did not wish to. Whatever resolutions I made in trying not to sin again, I was overcome by believing only in the Blood of the Cross. The Lord had mercy on me and made me meet Him through the Gospel of the water and the Spirit which He brought into this world over 2000 years ago. Then I could really be delivered from my sins once and for all. Through His Word, He healed my soul by washing away all my sins.
Dear believers, we can neither be saved nor meet the Lord by attending the great church buildings of this world that only preach the Blood of the Cross and the righteous works of mankind. Are you trying to have spiritual fellowship with the Lord by offering all your material possessions while keeping the Law? If so, you are caught in the trap of the religious hypocrisy of Christianity.
The Lord says in John 3:5: ``Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.`` Dear believers what is ``water`` and what is ``the Spirit`` mentioned here? Do you believe that water here means that you must be water baptized in a church? If you believe so, then I invite you to believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. The "water" here represents the baptism of Jesus by which He took all our sins upon Himself by the laying on of hands of John the Baptist at the Jordan. The water here means that Jesus, who is God Himself, received all our sins into His body by being baptised by John the Baptist. The role of water is to wash. So, through the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan, all our sins were washed away once and for all. Our past, present and future sins were transferred into the Body of Jesus when He was baptised in the Jordan by John the Baptist. It is by wholeheartedly believing in His Baptism and blood that we are saved by becoming true children of God.
If you still remain a sinner even though you believe in Jesus Christ as your Saviour, it means that you have fallen prey to Satan the devil. Satan the devil deceives you with the Word of God by making you believe in miracles, wonders and healings as a sign of true faith. However, the Lord openly declares that whoever says "Lord Lord" will not necessarily enter His Kingdom. Satan seduces Christians today through false prophets who are greedy for money, power and fame. This book teaches us to repel the temptations of Satan with the Word of God and the gospel of the Water and the Spirit. It is impossible for us to repel the temptations of Satan without faith in the gospel of the Water and the Spirit. Satan laughs at you when you try to cast him out with the blood of the cross of Jesus alone. Anyone who sums up his faith in the blood of the cross as proof of his salvation remains under the power of Satan. However, only those who believe in the water (baptism of Jesus), the Blood and the Spirit triumph over Satan.
As human beings, we are bound only to yearn for the well-being of our flesh. Even when we believe in Jesus, we are confronted with needs such as eating, drinking and clothing. But we get new desires by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. By realising that these desires are not right and spiritually beneficial, we can overcome them by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, the Word of God that made us His children.
This book has helped me to pray correctly before the Lord. I used to speak in some sort of demonic tongues and sit with my arms crossed waiting for the answer. I could not pray intelligibly when my conscience was soiled by the sins I was committing at every moment. That is why I liked to speak in these demonic tongues. Thus, I could not see any answer to my prayers. I was so miserable when I was able to speak in these tongues all night.
Meditating on this book gave me faith in the Lord`s prayer and enabled me to receive spiritual blessings. I also understood why so many Christians continue to visit fortune tellers and witch doctors. It is because when their prayers are not answered, they are bound to consult them in their critical state. But our faith in the gospel of the water and the Spirit is true and tangible. I am so grateful to the Lord for creating me so weak to pour out His blessings on me.
This book has taught me that nothing can be done without believing in the written Word of God. By meditating on the centurion`s faith, I was able to truly establish my heart on God`s Word instead of my own actions and circumstances in life. Choked by the false doctrines of Christianity teaching Christian ethics and morality, I was always in a hurry to do something for God when I wasn`t even really redeemed. I was haunted by the thought that God only needed all my material and financial possessions. This book made me realise that it is the Lord who is rich, and I am poor.
