Chapter 237: A New Life in the River of Life
From the beginning of the baptism, the choir of the military band and the military chaplain were singing the hymn "The River of Life Flows into My Heart", which was written by Archpriest Gavin specifically for the baptism.
With a single movement, Mai Ketong guò moved the river of life flowing down from the fountain of life, forming a water curtain like a mist, enveloping all the baptized and co-workers in it.
From the moment they decided to believe, they had united their souls with God and entered the kingdom of the Lord Jesus, no longer under the control of Satan, and their lives were completely renewed from that moment on.
Although regeneration is done by the Holy Spirit when the person does not know it, and the wind blows according to one's will, one knows the result of the wind, such as the falling leaves of a tree from north to south.
When a person is willing to believe in the Lord Jesus, it means that the heart is surrendered to God, indicating that the Holy Spirit has changed the heart.
Today, these people who have changed hearts, that is, changed the nature of life, and are born again, have declared to the world in the visible form of baptism that I am no longer my old self, and that I will henceforth be a new creation in the kingdom of Jesus.
The old self was completely cut off from God, the source of living water, and only the crumbling shell of the body remained, and it became more and more dilapidated day by day, and finally completely lost its vitality and perished.
Now I am reconnected to God, the source of living water, and my inner life is renewed, and I am more and more energetic day by day, and I know from today that I am forever with God, and I have eternal life.
Through guò baptism, we proclaim. My past self has been buried and crucified with the Lord Jesus.
Through guò baptism, we declare at the same time that a temporary I have been born again and resurrected with the Lord.
The resurrection of the Lord Jesus is eternal, and we are with Him, so the new life is also eternal. This is eternal life, eternal life that is never separated from God.
To be with God is to be with all the blessings of God. God has given the incomparable blessing of eternal life to His heavenly children, and He has also given all kinds of blessings to the same people without reservation.
God gives eternal life. It is the same with the Lord Jesus; God gave heaven and earth and all that was in place to His only begotten Son, and to be born again into the Lord Jesus was a participator of all these blessings.
With a single move, Mai Ketong poured the river of life on the heads of the saved. Completed the tasks assigned to the usual baptism. But that's not all.
God's blessings are also given to all people today by baptizing the sacrament. These long-lived lost sons and daughters. When they were in exile all over the world, not only did their souls not return, but their bodies were plagued by hunger, cold, and hardship. Left behind countless bright marks and dark wounds.
One of the most basic functions of this river of life is its healing function. This living water from heaven is a natural enemy of all kinds of diseases, which is not only diametrically opposed in nature, but also has an absolute benefit advantage: all diseases and pains encounter the fountain of life, just like frost and snow meet boiling soup, and disappear in a blink of an eye.
This is a contest between the original and the fake, and no matter how rampant the counterfeit is, there is no place for the deity. Or as darkness meets sunshine, and the sun shines, where is the darkness?
In just three seconds, the mist formed by the river of life has universally implemented the "healing" function of these 11,000 people, and all of them have obtained the "healing" effect -- whether they are old or new wounds, whether they are suffering from ringworm or scabies or not healing diseases, all of them have left the entanglement of the parties concerned.
In this way, the body, which matches the immortal soul, is greatly improved and can take on the mission entrusted by God. Although this body is not yet a body that is forever compatible with eternal life.
The most basic function of the river of life is to provide - everything that life needs, the river of life is not only available, but also absolutely endless, so that those who are connected to the river of life can have an uninterrupted supply.
The first characteristic of the river of life is that it is always alive, and if one day it becomes stagnant, it cannot be called a river of life at all, therefore, it is the nature of the river of life that determines that its various supplies flow from the source to these saved people.
Since they had just been saved, these people who had just returned home from this world were not only sick and wounded, but also malnourished. So, while God is giving them healing blessings, He also gives them the blessings of "abundance" - and this includes two.
The first is to make up for the lack in their bodies. Those brothers and sisters who were deficient in calcium instantly became strong in their hands and feet, and they were no longer as weak as before. Those systems that are not old and decrepit are also alive and well in the blink of an eye.
The second is to establish a solid supply line, and in the days to come, they will receive a timely, sufficient, and comprehensive supply from God, and they will no longer have to worry about material needs.
After the river of life has completed its two basic functions, healing and supplying, there is still a task to adjust the image of the person.
The Bible clearly teaches that God created men and women in His own image, but when man sins, he falls short of God's image, which is of course mainly in the soul and out of harmony in appearance. The main reason is that it has lost its natural and simple original flavor, and has become a strange shape distorted by sin and carved by people.
Although the implementation of the first two items has laid the foundation for the restoration of the image, some hard changes still require special restoration procedures. Therefore, within these three seconds, those artificial plastic surgery, scars and scars were removed and replaced with their original image.
Under this new image, all cosmetics have lost their usefulness, and everyone shows people as they are, because it is the creation of God, and God looks good, and people look bad without any reason or basis.
The baptism in the main hall was such that everyone was shown to the public that they were new and no longer part of the world, and at the same time, they were bathed in new life and received incomparable blessings from heaven, and the baptized brothers and sisters in the branch halls were similarly blessed by God.
The operator of the wheat ke moves smartly, so that it is not limited by any space. Although there is no river of life in the local area of the branch venue that is the same as the Holy Mountain Base, it doesn't take time to transport the spirit rhino to the ground.
So, when the chanting of hymns ended, the baptism was officially over, and the crowd looked at the phalanx and couldn't believe their eyes!
The appearance of the entire team was completely new, and it was like two people! I only felt a majestic breath of life rising to the sky, so strong that it was difficult to look at directly.
The people who are in it feel the deepest, this moment just now, it seems to be extremely fast, and it seems to be ten thousand years, and the current self and the previous self are like a world apart.
Liuhua and Tang Yan looked at each other's eyes, and immediately melted into the boundless joy and indescribable joy in each other's hearts! (To be continued......
