If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up; you will remove iniquity far from your tents. Job 22.23

Conversion leads the person who repented to start a new walk of success, in which he will be very close to the Savior. The conditions for this new walk to happen are simple, but they must be according to the Biblical prescriptions. It all starts with the Lord’s initiative and all that happens next needs His direction. No religious doctrine or human effort will make a person reach conversion. 

There are three distinct phases to be followed: repentance, baptism in the waters, and baptism in the Holy Spirit. Since the beginning of the process of conversion, the person starts to feel God’s presence, and then, needs to fulfill it through baptism in the waters and in the Holy Spirit, so that he may be completely filled with power to do the work. The Spirit of the Lord in us is the seal of the property of the Most High (Eph 4.30).

All these phases are directed by God and cannot be mistaken by a filiation to a religion or to an “enlightened” guru, but it should be only with the Almighty. There is a 100% chance of getting right, for since it is the work of the Lord, it cannot go wrong in any stage, considering that the Word’s orientations are observed. However, if the person is false or “forgets” to confess a specific sin, his conversion is paralyzed.

Once converted to Christ, there is the edification of the life of the believer in the Kingdom of Heaven. Both angels and demons know that this person belongs to the Omnipotent and is approved by God to be an ambassador of Christ and minister of the New Testament. It is evident that this person should submit to the authorities that the Lord has placed in His work. However, inside their area of work, they become priests and kings to the Most High, and they become fulfilled in Him.

After truly receiving Christ, it is necessary to reject iniquity from your house. The sins are past but the desire for wrong things will persist. This is a serious problem, for in the moment that a person falters, he can be influenced to make decisions outside of the Father’s purpose. It is necessary to renounce all things in order to be a special jar in the hands of the Lord; then, a ministerial gift will be granted.

After all, there is prosperity, which is not only the gathering of material goods, but of indispensable divine virtues for a life of complete fulfillment. Only after a person goes after all these phases, in which ego – or self-desire – and the other desires of the flesh are defeated, he may be used by the Omnipotent to the attainment of His holy, perfect, and pleasing will (Rom 12.2).

Those who have been converted according to the Scriptures’ “recipe” will have the Lord as their wealth. The saved one is able to find gold coins in the mouth of a fish or in a place that was previously prepared for a gathering, as well as being able to call for 12 legions of angels and be responded. Seek to have from God your complete conversion. 

In Christ, with love,
