I was Barabbas once upon a time.

2 Corinthians 5:17

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

Amen and so we faithfully pursue the truth of this change we leave the old sinner behind and his ways , and seek after the image of Gods son and his ways the ways of Gods children found in the gospel

“This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

But ye have not so learned Christ; if so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; ( repent )

and be renewed in the spirit of your mind;( believe the gospel )

and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (How do we put on the new man ? )

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: neither give place to the devil.

Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:17-32‬ ‭

these are the things Jesus teaches us

we hear and believe and then move by faith in those things in this way our mind is renewed first when we believe the gospel

“be renewed in the spirit of your mind”

and we repent

“ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;”

and eventually we’re letting the new creation we find in the gospel of Christ take over our mknd heart and lives
Because in maturity weve come to this faith

See we can lose sight of the new man easily and return to following and living in the old if we’re complacent

“Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, ( repent ) and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. ( believe the gospel )

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:21-24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

when we’re looking at Jesus and the gospel we’re seeing the new man we’re meant to be one of his disciples to be like Jesus our creator is the new man we’re walking after and trying to become like him and like he said for us to be

as we believe we’re new creations nd we accept the teachkngs part it changes us through faith from old sinner to new child of God

I believe the End times are near. Wrath and Judgement are coming soon. But also Salvation and immense Hope for Souls. Lord Jesus our Great God and Saviour and Bridegroom.

The Father God of Love and Holy fire speaks to us through Dreams! And his spirit which brings Scripture to life. When you seek and pray to him with all your heart and soul he will reveal himself and his spirit unto you.
For we shall not fear the dark when we are his and he is holding our hand, while we struggle in the dark against the dark forces of Evil.

Now For we must act in an Honourable and Noble way. We are now Christ’s bridegroom , loyal to him. The Father God is a Consuming fire who is alienated to those who do not humbly seek to know God or respect his Grace which he has offered unto us and they spit upon his face and his righteousness and wisdom. He is our Holy Saviour he reveals himself through dreams and vision. And through his Holy Spirit entering you. Pray for the holy Spirit to connect intimately with him for he wants a personal relationship with his Children, his Bridegroom which is us. For we are his chosen ones to be at the Marriage supper of the Lamb the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. And really pay attention to feeling who the Holy Spirit is entering you when he touches your Soul you will see things differently, from God’s perspective, in Christ’s eyes.


You become long suffering, broken hearted and filled with Wisdom and Purity in heart from Heaven. Plead the blood to have mercy upon your soul. For the flesh is weak but the spirit is willing. Put on white garment for this is Holy. If we confess our sins he is faithful to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Repentance means being guilty for sin. This is evidence the Holy spirit is in you Convicting you of your weak Flesh. Sin which your mother did conceive you for if you say you are without sin you are a liar, for None is righteous but Christ we all fall short of his Holy standard which no man can meet perfectly Yet they can become ‘Like’ Christ. This doesn’t mean we will ever be the same as Christ. But we are glorifying HIM. He is the one who is glorified, through us. Him living in us, for his glory , he shall shine through us for the world to see the Holiness, Love and Wisdom of the Father. For we are facing sin and a very increasing Evil world which we are battling to overcome in Christ’s victory we are victorious Children of Light always depending like a child on Christ to be our guiding hand. For we are not seeking to glorify ourselves at all, and call ourselves good, for we are all guilty against God, our works are like rags before him.

We are all guilty of some sin even if we think we are not. Instead we are glorifying Christ alone, for he is who is doing the Good works through us, it is his spirit that is one with ours connected to ours to do the will of Father God. Any other spirit that is not God in us, is in opposition to God, and Christ must be given the Victory. For when we become a Christian we become Humble and broken , poor in spirit, walking in dark places , like his Disciples who were slaughtered by the Romans following the Lord’s weeping steps in Jerusalem, enduring and walking upon rough waters and we are fighting against a tide which is the Evils and distractions of the world. For he now lives in your soul and your spirit is now One with his spirit. Seek what is Heavenly first before what is Earthly. Crucifying the flesh with Christ and repenting of Unrighteousness. Singing to him in Chants. And Praying to him on our knees daily and nightly. Seeking visions and dreams. For he speaks to us through dreams!
For he is our Righteous Judge equal in Mercy Wrath and Holiness. He will repay each man according to what he has done.


The fruit of the Spirit is Kindness , Gentleness , Holiness, Love, Patience, Forgiveness, Self control. And to enter you must become Perfect and innocent like a little child, depending upon him, for everything.
