Come out all ye from Babylon
Sing Zion's songs
And build the New Jerusalem
Begin in your heart
Lesson 1. Put on the strength and power of Zion
No man comes unto Christ except the Father draws him. John 6:44
Those who receive Christ in this world shall know God and be with God throughout all eternity.
Christ instructed the Jews to wait until they received the promise of the Father.
That promise was the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost.
There is nothing you can do to get this blessing.
It must come from God, by his own power, in his own way, and at the time of God's choosing.
It must remove from you, the heart of stone, and give you a heart that loves God.
No, it is not you falling in love with the idea of loving God. It is an act of creation that works upon you by the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost to create a new creature. You cannot discipline yourself or psyche yourself into this state of righteousness. Only God can put you there.
The results of being placed into this state of righteousness cannot be faked or pretended to.
The hallmarks are apparent to true saints. All know by precise experience the same things.
If you do not know what I am talking about then you are not yet there.
Sing Zion's songs

HOW DO I GET THERE?
Christ taught the sermon on the mount to answer this question. He said take no thought for your life, what you shall eat,what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on..........................But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:25...33
You are on your own. Unless you know of a true saint who can assist you, today's world, where one man can reach out to the entire globe at once, leaves every soul alone to work out their salvation, and wrestle with the Lord until he blesses them. I did it alone with no one telling me how to, or what to, or nothing. I was purely drawn to it and accomplished exactly as all scripture show. No process of any church on the planet teaches you how to accomplish this. It is too rare in this day and age. Our time made even Christ to wonder: Luke 18:8....Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Yes. I am saying you must quit your job and leave father and mother, sister and brother and not cloister in isolation like a hermit, but go out and show mercy and compassion and charity to the world around you. Go out on foot and walk amongst the people and notice them all for the first time. Look the strangers in the eye and be kind. Seek to overcome all your prejudices and be meek and poor in spirit. Distill within your own heart a yearning for God's love to come into the world. Seek to repent and to be forgiven and more desire to have a new heart that can retain the love of God continually. Cry mightily unto the Lord in all your thoughts, cease not all the day long and into the night, day after day, until it is enough and you know that you can do no more. Pray that you might be qualified by the Spirit in your submission unto Christ at all hazards come what may in your life. Wrestle to take upon you the name of Christ with full purpose of heart., that he might bless you as he blessed all the holy men of God before you. For this is what you must become too. Equal with all by the same faith. Yes it is possible. If you are of the truth.
If you seek the Lord with all your heart, might, mind and strength he will draw you and that drawing should not be resisted. If you need to seek out a proper baptism and truly want to manifest through baptism your desire to die to this world's crafts and cares, to leave them buried in the water and rise up a new creature in Christ Jesus seek that from those saints who have done this before you. If you cannot find any pray for it with full purpose of heart. God can provide all things needful to those who believe.
If you are involved in a church that tells you not to worry and that Zion will take care of itself in its own time, realize that they are not Zion and never will be. Your baptism MIGHT be valid IF you can truly receive the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost. In the changing spiritual climate that has shifted just this year, 2009, all things must be proven again. Prove all things and hold fast that which is good.
Zion shall begin from a small effort and grow until it fills the entire world. All that is not Zion shall fall and vanish in time. The earth will be cleansed of all iniquity that it might rest for a season.
