How You Can Meet and Know God Personally



In the beginning God created man in his own image, with a pure heart and a clear conscience, to have fellowship with him. But man disobeyed God, and then sin entered his heart. Since then, we have all inherited the sinful nature and fallen short of the glory of God. Our fellowship with him was broken, for He created us without sin. And because of our sins and according to God's law, we are all condemned to eternal punishment.

But God loved us so much that, despite our sins, He sent Jesus, his beloved only Son and Messiah, to proclaim the good news of God's kingdom, to heal the sick, to make disciples, to suffer for our healing, and to die for the forgiveness of our sins. 

Jesus, the perfect Lamb of God, offered himself by shedding his blood to take upon himself the punishment we deserved for breaking God's law. But since Jesus never sinned, God raised him from the dead on the third day after being buried. And He lifted him up and crowned him and seated him at his right hand on the heavenly throne.

Through his death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus paid the price to save us from the dominion of sin and the eternal punishment that comes from it, so that we may be forgiven, justified, and reconciled to God his Father in an intimate relationship with him.

The Bible says in Romans 6:23 that “the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Now it's up to us to believe in Jesus and desire a new life to follow God's holy ways, not the sinful ways of the world.

What are the steps for you to be forgiven, justified, and reconciled to God?

   ● You must believe that Jesus is God's Son and Messiah who shed his blood for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day for our salvation. 
   ● You must sincerely repent of all your sinful and worldly ways, and submit to God to receive a tender heart and follow his holy and heavenly ways.
   ● You must be immersed in water in the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins. You must die and bury your old self in the water, and resurrect in a new life to follow Jesus and his words.
   ● You must receive and be filled with the Holy Spirit, which is the spiritual glory, presence, and power of God. It is, in fact, the same Spirit of God and of Jesus who will enable you to have intimate communion with both of them, live a holy life, perform the same miraculous works that Jesus performed on Earth, and boldly proclaim the good news of what Jesus did in your life and for all humanity. God will instill in you the desire to be filled with his Spirit through prayer in heavenly tongues and praise, to meditate on his Word and obey it, to love everyone and to forgive those who hurt you.

Sin separates us from God and leads to eternal damnation. But God's greatest desire is to forgive us, justify us, and reconcile us to him. He took the first step by sending his beloved Son to pay for our sins. What will you do about it? It's your decision. He loves you and patiently waits for you to surrender your life to him and follow Jesus wholeheartedly as your Lord. In fact, Jesus is the one appointed by God to be the Judge of the living and the dead at the end of times.

○ For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

○ Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.” (John 3:5)

○ Jesus answered, “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

○ Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” (Acts 2:38-39)

○ God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. How much more then, since we have now been justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from wrath. For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, then how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life. (Romans 5:8-10)

○ Just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all people, because all sinned. If by the one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the overflow of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:12, 17)

Sowing and Reaping for God's Kingdom


WHO WE ARE

We are a couple of adopted children of God, and also disciples and farmers of his Son Jesus the Messiah, dedicated to sowing and reaping for God's Kingdom. We are led by God’s holy Spirit and holy Word through having a daily, personal, and intimate communion with God (Yahweh) and with Jesus (Yeshua), praying in the Spirit and meditating on the Scriptures.


We serve God and Jesus daily by sowing the seed of the Gospel among the lost and reaping the fruit of those who receive and retain the truth of God's Word. We spread the Good News that there is peace with God through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, his Son and Messiah. And also, that there is redemption from our sins when we repent to God, are baptized in water in the name of Jesus, and receive the infilling of the holy Spirit.  Like the early Church, we do not belong to any hierarchical church organization. However, we are members of God's family and the body of Christ (Messiah). We are part of the community of born-again disciples who love God intimately and obey the great commission of the Lord Jesus, our Shepherd, Apostle, and High Priest. Since our work is voluntary and full time, we trust in God for our daily sustenance. In fact, our divine Father faithfully supplies our basic needs through those who welcome and support our work with accommodation, food and contributions for our continual missionary travels and living expenses.


VOCATION In our 20s, after becoming disillusioned and leaving our parents' established Catholic/Christian religions in our adolescence, we had a deep desire to personally seek the truth about God's existence and why and for what purpose He created us. Shortly thereafter, in an overwhelming and wonderful way, we had a personal, supernatural encounter with God and with Jesus. They revealed themselves to us personally and transformed our lives completely and drastically. God called us to repent of our sins and turn to him, and to believe in and follow his divine Son Jesus the Messiah—whom He sent to shed his blood and rise from the dead, in order to cut off the curse of the power of sin over us so that God himself could make peace with us. As soon as we heard and believed the Good News of God about his Son and Messiah, we then wholeheartedly repented to God and gave our lives to Jesus without reservations. At that precise moment, we experienced a big infilling of God's spiritual presence (holy Spirit) on us, which miraculously transformed our lives from inside out. We felt immediately reconciled to our heavenly Father, becoming his adopted children, as Jesus was taking over our lives completely, especially since after the baptism in water in his name and authority. Hallelujah! From that moment on, we left the world (man's system) behind, and followed Jesus wholeheartedly to this day, for about almost 50 years. However, out of ignorance, we became fully involved and were part of an independent Christian movement for nearly thirty years. Our leader, a prophet, was teaching the doctrine of “extreme grace” and other “new revelations” that openly challenged and contradicted the sound doctrine of the Bible. On 2011, we saw that our teenagers were not living out the faith, and at the same time God shaked us up with a big breaking, which caused us to pray on our knees and seek God with a completely broken and repentant heart. Immediately, God revealed himself and comforted our deep inner pain, telling us that we did not truly know him because we did not know his Word recorded in the holy Scriptures. We only followed the teachings of the movement's leader and founder. God began to reveal the truth of his Word to us as we read it in context and meditated on it daily. At one point He told us we should leave that movement and depend entirely on him and his Son Jesus. So we did, and from then on, we dedicate ourselves to spending personal and intimate time every day with God our Father and Jesus our Lord—reading and meditating on the holy Scriptures, and worshipping and praying in tongues of the holy Spirit. We also witness and evangelize the lost personally everywhere in a daily basis. In 2016, God revealed to us the biblical truth of the Gospel of freedom from sin to serve God, through the discipleship ministry of "The Last Reformation" (TLR). Since then, we have been faithfully proclaiming the true Gospel to all, healing the sick by laying on of hands, freeing the oppressed by casting out evil spirits, baptizing the repentant, and making disciples of all nations. MISSION

● Daily we share with others our personal testimony of our new spiritual birth, and we also share the Good News of redemption and reconciliation to God the Father through his Son Jesus the Messiah.

● In the name of Jesus and by the power of God, we heal the sick by laying hands on them, and we free the oppressed by casting out evil spirits from them.

● We encourage all those who believe in the Good News to take the following five steps in order to be completely born again and receive the divine nature so that they can do God's work as disciples of Jesus:


     1) To repent of all sinful life, confess every sin, and surrender completely to God the Father and his will, to be able to receive a tender new heart.

     2) To be fully baptized in water (which represents the blood that Jesus shed), for the washing of sins and burial of the body of the sinful nature, to be able to be born again and live a new life dedicated to following Jesus the Messiah.

     3) To receive and be renewed by the holy Spirit, who is in fact the glorious nature, the holy presence, and the miraculous power of God and Jesus. 

     4) To commit to meditate on the holy Scriptures and pray in the holy Spirit daily, to be able to have constant intimate fellowship with God and with Jesus. 

     5) To commit to sharing the Good News with the lost at every opportunity, healing the sick, baptizing believers, and equipping disciples to do the same.


● We encourage every disciple of Jesus to meet regularly, and even to live with other brothers and sisters in the faith, to pray together and help each other spread the Good News, in order to advance the Kingdom of God in their city.


● We equip every disciple of Jesus who wants to become his full-time farmer, to help us reach and reap the great harvest of souls ahead.


● We equip believing parents to learn how to care for their children well in order to develop their character—by reading Scripture and praying with them, doing a variety of activities with them (including reaching out to others with the Good News), and giving them consistent, loving discipline.
