Even
after you have been saved (Joh 10:9; Rom 10:9-10) and your spirit reborn (Joh 3:4-8; Act 2:38 and Act 8:36-39 -- PLEASE READ THE SCRIPTURES QUOTED BELOW on why you SHOULD be IMMERSED (baptized)) to eternal life,
you still have all this hurt and pain in your heart and confusion in
your mind that needs to be dealt with -- allowing your loving heavenly FATHER through His Son
and the working of His Qodesh Ruach (Set-Apart SPIRIT) to heal and restore you to a
position of wholeness.
WHO are YOU???
Understanding your IDENTITY in Messiah Yahusha, rooted in a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with FATHER YAHUAH is absolutely ESSSENTIAL to Your Success at Living and Enjoying an Abundant Life (Yoh 10:10b). The more you REAFFIRM (CONFESS) Who You are, the more your behavior will begin to reflect YOUR TRUE WORTH/ IDENTITY . . .
YOU are ACCEPTED
YOU are SECURE
You are Free from any Condemnation (Rom 8:1-2)
YOU are SIGNIFICANT
You are a Branch of Yahusha, the True Vine, and a Channel of His Life (Joh 15:5)
Okay now that you have progressed from crawling to walking, you want to pursue starting to run your race of life, enabling you to finish it . . . spiritually you have to be renewed in your mind (Romiyim (Romans) 12:1-2) and your heart must be changed (Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 36:26-27), enabling you to start living an abundant life here on earth . . . you must be healed and restored from the things that kept you bound in the past, causing you much discomfort and unhappiness! One of the first steps in being set free from your past hurts, pains and failures is to renounce all bloodline curses through the sins of your forefathers/mothers and all unholy soul/mind/body/spirit ties.
Please REMEMBER that our Messiah's TRUE SCRIPTURAL Name is Yahusha and NOT jesus as in the video clip below. The clip and song is ONLY for illustration purposes, i.e demonstrating Scriptural immersion and a life of SURRENDER!

It
is VERY IMPORTANT that
you be immersed (baptized) as soon as possible after you have accepted Yahusha (the Set-Apart Scriptural Name of our Messiah) as your Messiah (its referred to as the baptism of repentance). You may say that you were baptized as a baby, but PLEASE take the time to
READ the FOLLOWING SCRIPTURES and then decide for yourself if you should
be immersed (baptized) again!
1Yohanan (John) 5:5-8 Who is the one who overcomes the world but he who believes that Yahusha is the Son of Elohim? This is the One that came by water and blood: Yahusha Messiah, not only by water, but by water and blood (see Yohanan (John) 19:34). And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the Truth. Because there are three who bear witness: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood. And the three are in agreement.
Tehillim (Psa) 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O Elohim, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
MattihYahu (Mat) 5:8 Blessed are the clean in heart, because they shall see Elohim.
1Timotiyos (Tim) 1:5 Now the goal of this command is love from a clean heart, from a good conscience and a sincere belief.
2Timotiyos (Tim) 2:22 And flee from the lusts of youth, but pursue righteousness, belief, love, peace with those calling on the Master out of a clean heart.
Ibrim (Heb) 10:22 let us draw near with a true heart in completeness of belief, having our hearts sprinkled from a wicked conscience and our bodies washed with clean water.
1Kepha (Pet) 1:22 Now that you have cleansed your lives in obeying the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another fervently with a clean heart.
Do we see the importance of a CLEAN HEART, a sincere belief (in Messiah) and a steadfast Spirit in the above Scriptures?
Let’s ask the question: Why must our hearts be cleansed, our bodies washed and our spirits become steadfast?
Simply because our spirit, heart, mind and body have been defiled and corrupted since childbirth by religion, tradition, culture and the doctrines & customs of man, opposing the TRUTH from Scripture! This is WHY water immersion (baptizing) is vital in the process of sanctification (cleansing) after a Believer has accepted Messiah as their Redeemer and Bridegroom King, enabling Believers who guard and observe the Torah (Direction/Instructions/Commands) of Almighty YHUH to ENTER INTO COVENANT with Him as cleansed, renewed and set-apart beings unto Him!
To understand the word “baptize”, let’s go to the Root language of the Bible to understand its importance and thereafter go to the Greek!
Hebrew Strong’s 4724: miqvah . . . a collection, i.e. (of water) a reservoir . . .
The Mikvah is a cleansing bath -- the Hebrew word mikvah means
A "pool" or "gathering" of water.
There are several references in the First Covenant (Old Testament) to Mikvah . . .
In Wayyiqra (Lev) 11:36 we read:
But a fountain or a well, a collection of water (Mikvah), is clean . . .
In YirmeYahu (Jer) 17:12-13 we read:
An esteemed throne, exalted from the beginning, is the place of our set-apart place. O Yahuah (YHUH), the expectation of Yisra’ĕl, all who forsake You are put to shame. “Those who depart from Me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yahuah, the fountain of living waters (Mikvah).
The word translated expectation (hope) in verse 13 is Mikveh (meaning something waited for, i.e. Messiah) thus giving us the understanding that Almighty YHUH through His Son, The Messiah is the cleansing fountain (Mikvah), the expectation of Yisrael (includes all who enter into covenant with Almighty YHUH by guarding His Word, both Jew and Gentile – all 12 tribes of Yisrael).
In Yohanan (John 19:34) we read that while Messiah still hung on the tree/stake, a Roman soldier pierced His side and instantly blood and water came out of Him, thus opening the cleansing fountain or Mikvah for those guarding and observing the Torah (Direction/Instructions/Commands) of YHUH.
In Zekaryah (Zec) 13:1 it is written:
In that day a fountain (Mikvah) shall be opened for the house of Dawiḏ and for the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, for sin and for uncleanness.
The word "baptize" as used in the Renewed Covenant (New Testament) is translated from the Greek word "baptizo", which is a derivative of bapto; meaning to immerse, dip, sink or submerge; to make whelmed (i.e. Fully wet).
Scripture teaches us to me imitators of our Messiah and that we should follow His example! Messiah YAHUSHA of Natzarith was immersed (baptized) when he was about 30 years old, not when He was a baby. His whole body was immersed under water as this was the way that people were immersed in Scriptural times. Scripture is CLEAR about this. After His immersion, Messiah was tempted by the devil for 40 days and then He started to do great miracles . . . (when our bodies are immersed (Mikvah) under the water, symbolically and spiritually our “old sinful Adam nature” with all its contamination dies (burial of our old sinful nature) and when we “come out” from the water (resurrection from our old sinful nature to the “new creation or man/woman in Messiah”), we are cleansed from all our past unrighteousness).
MattihYahu (Mat) 3:11 “I (Yohanan (John)) indeed immerse you in water unto REPENTANCE, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to bear. He shall immerse you in the Set-apart Spirit and fire.
Marqos (Mark) 1:5 And all the country of Yahuḏah, and those of Yerushalayim, went out to him and were all immersed by him in the Yardĕn River, CONFESSING their SINS.
Ma’aseh (Act) 2:38 And Kĕpha (Peter) said to them, “REPENT, and let each one of you be IMMERSED in the NAME of YAHUSHA Messiah for the FORGIVENESS of SINS. And you shall RECEIVE the GIFT of the SET-APART SPIRIT (of YHUH).
Ma’aseh (Act) 19:4 And Sha’ul (Paul) said, “Yoḥanan indeed immersed with an immersion of REPENTANCE, saying to the people that they should believe in the One who is coming after him, that is, in Messiah YAHUSHA.”
Ma’aseh (Act) 22:16 ‘And now, why do you delay? Rise up, be immersed, and wash away your sins, calling on the Name of YAHUAH.’
Marqos (Mar) 16:16 He who has believed and HAS BEEN IMMERSED shall be SAVED, but he who has not believed shall be condemned.
Can we see from the above Scriptures the IMPORTANCE of REPENTANCE in the act of immersion? Can we see the IMPORTANCE of being immersed in the RIGHT NAME? Can we see that we should call upon the Name of Almighty YHUH (Yahuah) and be immersed in His Son’s Name, NOT the names given to them by corrupt Bible Translators, twisting Scripture to uphold a tradition of the Romans?
The Name “Jesus” is less than 500 years old on earth and was first introduced to the KJV "Bible" translation around the mid 1600’s! Our Messiah was a Hebrew that grew up as a Hebrew, spoke Hebrew and received a Hebrew Name by His Father (Yohanan (John) 17:11-12)!
The Son’s Name is in the Father’s Name as they are ONE (Yohanan 10:30).
He came in His Father’s Name (Yohanan 5:43) and did everything He did in His Father’s Name (Yohanan 10:25)!
Even Bible Translators OPENLY ACKNOWLEDGE the set-apart Name of the Almighty as YHUH, pronounced as Yahuah, but SADLY ALSO CONFESS to changing His Name to a title “LORD”, associated with all pagan deities, including satan himself! Do the research and see this for yourself!
We have to also understand that a little baby cannot repent from their sins, because they do not have the knowledge, nor the understanding of their sins yet. They will also drown if they are immersed under the water as Scripture commands us to do!
Let’s look in the WORD of FATHER YHUH to see how people were immersed (baptized).
MattithYahu (Mat) 3:16 And having been immersed, Yahusha went up immediately from the water, and see, the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of Elohim descending like a dove and coming upon Him.
Luqas (Luk) 7:29 And all the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard, declared Elohim righteous, having been immersed with the immersion of Yoḥanan.
Ma’aseh (Act) 2:41 Then those, indeed, who gladly received his word, were immersed. And on that day about three thousand beings were added to them.
In Yohanan (John) 3:23 we read, "Now Yohanan (John) also was immersing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there."
Why was he immersing near Salim? "Because there was much water there.” enabling people to be IMMERSED.
In Marqos (Mark) 1:5 we read, "Then all the land of Yudea, and those from Yerushalayim, went out to Him, and were all baptized by him in the Yordan River."
Why was Yochanan immersing in the Yordan River? Probably because there was much water in the river.
In Marqos (Mark) 1:9-10, we continue to read, "And it came to pass in those days that Yahusha came from Natzarith of Galilee and was immersed by Yohanan (John) in the Yordan. And immediately, coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove."
When Yahusha was immersed, he was immersed in the Yordan River. Why? Because there was much water in the river which were required for immersion. Also notice that after Yahusha was immersed, He came "up out of the water."
In Ma'aseh (Acts) 8:36-39, the evangelist, Philip, had been teaching the gospel or good news of Yahusha to an Ethiopian eunuch while they were riding along in a chariot. Then in verses 36-39 we read: "Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, see here is water, what hinders me from being baptized? And Philip said, If you believe with all your heart, you may. And he answered and said, I believe that Yahusha is the Son of Elohim. So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he immersed him. And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of YHUH caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing."
Here we see that the immersion (baptism) that Elohim (Almighty) has authorized in Scripture requires the "coming to some water", "going down into the water," and after a person is immersed it requires "coming up out of the water."
Romiyim (Romans) 6:4 says, "Therefore we were buried with him by immersion (baptism) into death, so that we may walk in a NEW WAY of LIFE."
Here we see that immersion is a burial (death to our “old adam (sinful) nature”), which is what is done when one is immersed.
Qolasim (Colossians) 2:12 says that we are "buried with him in immersion, in which you also were raised with Him."
Here again YHUH requires the one being immersed (baptized), to be buried (death of old sinful nature) and raised (raised to the standard of Scripture — a new creation) when he/she is immersed. When one is BURIED AFTER DEATH, the WHOLE BODY is placed UNDER the GROUND, not only parts of it.
Now that you are PART of FATHER'S (His original and authentic COVENANT Name is YHUH, pronounced as YaHUaH) family through Yahusha, you must endure to seek and join a RELIABLE FELLOWSHIP that do not practice religion, but will guide you towards building a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with FATHER YAHUAH through Yahusha! You should have mentors of the SAME SEX that can teach you the dynamics and principles of becoming a godly man or woman.
Ask/seek for COUNSELLING -- it is important to receive healing from all disappointments and hurts from your past that have scarred your heart, and seek DELIVERANCE from all GENERATIONAL BLOODLINE CURSES (it NEGATIVELY AFFECTS you through your parents SINS on both sides -- read Shemoth (Exodus 20:5) and UNGODLY SOUL/MIND/BODY/SPIRIT TIES -- go to a trained Counsellor from the SAME SEX to be set free from all these past issues. Your MIND has to be renewed and cleansed from all contamination and corruption.
Tehillim (Psalms) 147:3 He HEALS the brokenhearted and BINDS UP their wounds.
Ma'aseh (Acts) 10:38 how Elohim anointed Yahusha of Natzarith with the SPIRIT and with POWER; how he went about doing good and HEALING all that were oppressed by the devil, for Elohim was with him.
Eph'siyim (Ephesians) 1:4 Long before he laid down earth's foundations, He had us in mind, had settled on us as the FOCUS of His LOVE, to be made WHOLE and set apart by His love.
Romiyim (Romans) 6:22b “A WHOLE, HEALED, put-together life right now, with more and more of life on the way!”
2Qorin'tiyim (Corinthians) 5:18 All this is from Elohim, who through Messiah Yahusha RECONCILED us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.
Read reliable "Scriptures" daily, PRAY as often as you can (daily) and ask Ruach (Spirit) of YHUH to lead and teach you as you do this…
PRAY as often as you can to our FATHER in the SCRIPTURAL Name of Yahusha and share your heart with Him as often as you can . . .
Ibrim (Hebrews) 10:22-25 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, our HEARTS SPRINKLED CLEAN FROM AN EVIL CONSCIENCE and our BODIES WASHED IN CLEAN WATER. Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us be concerned about one another in order to promote love and good works, NOT STAYING AWAY from our assemblings, as some habitually do, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
1Kepha (Peter) 1:3-4 Blessed be the Elohim (Almighty) and Father of our Master Yahusha Messiah. According to His great compassion, He has given us a NEW BIRTH (born again) into a LIVING EXPECTATION through the resurrection of Yahusha from the dead, and into an INHERITANCE that is IMPERISHABLE, UNCORRUPTED, and UNFADING, KEPT IN HEAVENS for you.
Eph'siyim (Ephesians) 1:7a IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD . . .
1Yohanan (John) 5:5-8 Who is the one who overcomes the world but he who believes that Yahusha is the Son of Elohim? This is the One that came by water and blood: Yahusha Messiah, not only by water, but by water and blood (see Yohanan (John) 19:34). And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the Truth. Because there are three who bear witness: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood. And the three are in agreement.
Tehillim (Psa) 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O Elohim, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
MattihYahu (Mat) 5:8 Blessed are the clean in heart, because they shall see Elohim.
1Timotiyos (Tim) 1:5 Now the goal of this command is love from a clean heart, from a good conscience and a sincere belief.
2Timotiyos (Tim) 2:22 And flee from the lusts of youth, but pursue righteousness, belief, love, peace with those calling on the Master out of a clean heart.
Ibrim (Heb) 10:22 let us draw near with a true heart in completeness of belief, having our hearts sprinkled from a wicked conscience and our bodies washed with clean water.
1Kepha (Pet) 1:22 Now that you have cleansed your lives in obeying the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another fervently with a clean heart.
Do we see the importance of a CLEAN HEART, a sincere belief (in Messiah) and a steadfast Spirit in the above Scriptures?
