YOU MUST BE CONVERTED

People often mistake conversion and salvation to be the same, but these are two separate things. When someone accepts the Lord, they become saved as they accepts salvation. We have a lot of this now in our churches today, people are getting saved, but not converted.

The apostle Peter he knew God. He walked with God, he witnessed His miracles, listened to His teachings, broke bread with Jesus – Peter was saved, but he was not yet converted. Jesus knew this and that is why He said to him, when thou art converted strengthen ye the brethren.

Peter struggled with fear until the day of Pentecost came and the Holy Spirit rested upon the apostles. Their entire life was changed and their ministry began as a result. Fear was no longer an issue for Peter and this was because he and the other apostles were now converted. They were endued with power from on high.

When you are converted, you will begin to think different, act different and talk different as power comes upon you and takes a hold of you. Conversion has to do with a change of the heart. It has to do with healing of the heart and empowerment by the Spirit of God.

Before Jesus left the earth, the apostles had a hard time casting out a spirit or doing any form of miracle Jesus did because of unbelief. Once they received a baptism by the Holy Ghost and power, they immediately changed into the likeness of Christ.

What the church needs now is a fresh Baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire. The church is sleeping, she needs to be converted and awaken. May God arise and may His power return to us His people.

We cannot make it without the Holy Spirit in these last days. It’s impossible. Seek God earnestly.

“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire” (Matt. 3:11).

“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (John 3:5).

You must be converted.
