"I am Born Again!"
“I AM BORN AGAIN!” a man pumped his arms towards heaven as he came up baptized in the water of new life!
In this particular community, to be baptized meant he would face persecution by religious leaders. This community had been warned that they would be excommunicated if they were baptized. This man bravely stepped forward to make a public testament of his faith in Jesus and be baptized. He told us, “men of God must be brave.” Fifty more people were baptized in this village following after him and a woman was delivered from a violent spirit. Many in her village had been afraid of her and were amazed to see her be baptized and receive ministry.
327 people have been baptized and have made commitments to Christ since April!
We’ve had FOUR community Celebration Services at completed well sites and the WONDERFUL presence of the Holy Spirit has been with us.
At every celebration, we preach the gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ alone and many respond in repentance and faith. We explain that Jesus said you must be born again. We invite those who accept Christ to be baptized as a symbol of their new life. Everyone who is baptized receives a Bible thanks to the churches and individuals who give!!!
The Name of Jesus breaks EVERY chain!
We’ve seen many people delivered from the bondage of demons by the authority of Jesus.
At Kamuu, a woman confirmed deaf in one ear came forward for prayer and received deliverance and healing!
She came to us afterwards with her pastor to tell us she was completely healed and could hear!
Nothing is too difficult for God! Jesus saves, heals, and delivers!
Jesus is the SAME yesterday, today, and forever!
In Jesus’ own words He gives us this command with His promises:
..."Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.””
—Jesus in Mark 16:15-18
Jesus makes us a promise in these verses! “…these signs WILL ACCOMPANY THOSE WHO BELIEVE…”
Our team has been praying and fasting and seeking God for healing and deliverance for the many, many sick and afflicted we meet at every celebration service. Our hearts have been crying out to see freedom for the captives physically as well as spiritually. The lines for prayer for healing and deliverance are long and we are committed to pray for everyone who asks. As I was reading this verse in Mark, I realized it was not only a command of Jesus, but it contained a PROMISE from HIM! And this promise was not only for the first disciples, but Jesus states it was for “those who BELIEVE”.
Those who BELIEVE in the power and authority of Jesus will see these signs and wonders as Jesus accompanies them!
Jesus is FAITHFUL AND TRUE! He CANNOT Lie. Every word He speaks is Truth.
If Jesus tells us this will happen for “those who believe” then it is up to us to BELIEVE.
“Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.”
