~ Baptism ~

Many people are Baptised as a baby (also known as Christening).

It's Good to be Baptised as babies because we're Welcomed into 'God's Family' at the Beginning of our Lives, which gives us a Good Start to Life.

The problem though is that when we're Baptised as a baby, it's not from our 'Own Personal Choice'.

Because we didn't make a 'Personal Choice' to Follow Jesus 'Ourselves' then we can often get 'Misled' by the 'ways of the world'.

This happened to me in my early teens and I ended up making Many Mistakes and Wasting a Lot of my Life living in the 'wrong way'.

Thankfully in my mid 20's  I came across the Wonderful & Inspiring 
'Hour of Power' (TV Church), and I was Blessed with Learning the Truth about who God & Jesus 'Really Are', instead of the Corrupted version of who the 'world' says they are.

My Wonderful 'Journey with Jesus' began and my Life started to be Transformed for the Better. (The story of my Journey is on our website under the title 'My Journey').

After my Wife and I got Married we both wanted to Grow in our Faith and to Enjoy a more Meaningful Relationship with God & Jesus.

We Decided we would Love to be Baptised as Adults. 
We had been Baptised/Christened as babies but we felt we wanted to make the 'Personal Choice' Ourselves as Adults.

There are different ways to be Baptised. Some people like to be fully immersed in water and some people prefer to have water sprinkled on their forehead. Some Baptisms are in Churches, some are outdoors in Rivers or Lakes. It doesn't matter how or where you're Baptised, the Important thing is that you make a Genuine Commitment to God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit, and that you are Faithful to that Commitment.

My Wife and I were Very Blessed with a Wonderful Baptism. It was an Evening Baptism just for the two of us, and the Vicar 'Very Kindly' let us make it Personal to us. It was Meaningful & Special for us.

As well as the Baptism we decided to go on a short holiday to the Beautiful Highlands of Scotland so we could spend 'Quality Quiet' time with God & Jesus, as we both feel 'Closest to God' when Surrounded by Nature.

We stayed in a wooden lodge overlooking Loch Tay, and spent a Lot of time walking around the Beautiful Countryside.

We stopped at a Lovely Loch (Lake) surrounded by Mountains and Trees and there was nobody there but us.

We spent some Lovely time Together, and then I went for a short Quiet walk. I noticed a small Fishing Boat that someone had left moored on the Loch Shore. I stood there thinking about the different times when the Disciples had been Fishing and were with Jesus on the Shore of a Lake.

I was Imagining what it must have been like for them to have actually been 'With Jesus' in Person. As I stood there I felt an Amazing Sense as though Jesus was stood there 'With Me'.

It was a Wonderful Experience of Pure Peace, Love & Joy. It was such an Amazing feeling that no words can describe it well enough.
It's a Wonderful Memory that I Treasure, and it Fills me with Joy.

As I'm writing this, I realised that because I made a Genuine Commitment to Jesus, I was Blessed with a Wonderful Experience 'With Him'.

Whatever your level of Faith is, I Encourage You to make 
Your Own 'Personal Choice' to be Baptised,
 and make a Genuine Commitment to God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit.

I Truly Believe that You will then be Blessed with
' Your Own' Wonderful Experience 'With Them'.
