"When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the
water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him and He saw that the
Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him and suddenly
a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am
well pleased." ~Matthew 3:16-17.
This Bible Passage has an amazing message in it, and I am here to share
with you all what The Lord has been saying to me through this Matthew
3:16-17 Bible Passage. This Word came upon me during our church service
last week. It was during our announcements toward the end of the
church service. Anyway, it was announced to us last week that our
church will be having six if not seven baptisms this coming Sunday on
July 5th. I've been thinking about that and being all fired up about it
this entire week! I can't wait, I'm so happy about this because this is
a huge leap of faith and in the right direction for our growing
church. When a person becomes baptized, that means that they are
rededicating themselves to The Lord and to our church. It also means
that these people are getting rid of their old ways and are inviting in
their new ways.
This is going to
be awesome for me to see and to be a witness of because I was in the
exact same boat as these people currently are about five years ago
today. That was when I decided to change my life for the better and to
die to all of my old ways and fully give my new self to The Lord. It
was one of the best feelings that I could have ever had in my entire
life. I was cleansed from the inside out on that great day and it is
all because of The Lord and what He's done in my life so far on this
very day! This was the first time in a long time that I was finally at
peace and in full agreement with The Lord. I look forward to the plans
that He has for my life in the near future. I do not know what they are
yet, but The Lord does and I have a feeling that I'm going in the right
direction as to what The Lord has planned for me. It's going to be
astonishing and super exciting. My life with The Lord is never dull
because He always has an intriguing adventure planned out on a daily
basis!
Especially since He knows
that I'm in retail. To those who used to work and still are in retail,
you all know exactly what I'm talking about here. Correct? I'm sure
that all who are reading this blog at the moment are curious as to where
all of this excitement will be taking place next week? Well, lucky for
you, I'll be sharing this information with you on this particular blog:
We are going to have our usual worship and whatnot at the church and
then directly after church we'll be going to the YMCA in Reading, MA.
That is where all of these baptisms will be taking place. Here's the
address of the Church: It is called, Christ the King Church 4 Railroad,
Avenue, Suite 309 Wakefield,Massachusetts 01880. The Church service
starts at 10:30 am sharp and please do not be late! This is quite the
important day in history for Christ the King Church. The music is
amazing and really hits home for specific people, so please come and
enjoy the service and just listen to some soothing and comforting music.
Should you decide to come on Sunday, I promise to you all that it will
instantly be worth it. But on a side note, I'm also stepping out in
faith and starting a Young Women's Group, so please come and join us,
we'd absolutely love to have you. All are welcome and just remember
that none of us are out of God's reach. We all have a past, but it's
okay, you are loved and have been forgiven by a loving and gracious
God. Thank you all and God Bless! I will talk to you soon and I hope to
see you in church on Sunday.
In Christ, Emily
