Well you know who you are lah, still want to keep your privacy mah hahahahaha, really hope you get to read this soon, especially before Sunday, cause very important for you to know.....and always remember that.......

® = Princess of God

Never let anyone look down on you ok......NEVER!!! You're very precious and special to God.....and again you're a smart, beautiful, intelligent, wonderful, kind and loving person :) and God loves you for who you are and He has already accepted you into His kingdom!!!! Here are two verses that you should look up on :) (read it out loud yeah.....)

2 Corinthians 12:8-10

Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

and also

Psalms 3

O Lord, I have so many enemies;
so many are against me.
So many are saying,
“God will never rescue him!”

But you, O Lord, are a shield around me;
you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.
I cried out to the Lord,
and he answered me from his holy mountain.

I lay down and slept,
yet I woke up in safety,
for the Lord was watching over me.

I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies
who surround me on every side.

Arise, O Lord!
Rescue me, my God!
Slap all my enemies in the face!
Shatter the teeth of the wicked!

Victory comes from you, O Lord.
May you bless your people.



So here's the information that you need....

Being baptise means being "dipped" or "plunged." The word baptize comes from the Greek word baptizo.

The first thing that you need to know is that Jesus himself was baptised, and He said that He had to do it to "fulfill all righteousness"

Matthew 3:15-17 (read it yeah :] )

So if it was so important for Jesus to get baptised, Jesus the Son of God, what more us, sinners.....so I'm really GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOU'RE GETTING BAPTISED!!!

To be baptised there's 4 conditions that must be first fulfilled...

1)Repentance
This is the first decision that you made when you accepted Jesus into your life, where you experience true repentance, turning away from your old ways.

As baptism is the OUTWARD demonstration of the INWARD change produced by repentance.

2)Faith in God
Easy to understand lah, means you gotta have faith in God....

3)A Good Conscience
Meaning when you get baptised, you should have the confidence in knowing that you're saved and that God has already forgiven you of your sins, like when you're baptised you should feel good lah, not like angry or pressured or anything, but like you know that you're doing what God wants you to do.

4)Becoming a Disciple
When you're baptised, it doesn't mean that you are confirm CONFIRM becoming Jesus' disciple, that you've finish the race already, baptism is just a "door" into something greater, you still need to continue to learn about the bible, do your quiet time, pay your tithes etc.

Baptism is both causative and declarative, meaning that baptism is both an act to show your family and friends that you're truly a believer, a public declaration of what has already happened and it is also and act by which something spiritually happens to you.

When you get baptised two things happen, you go INTO the water the you come OUT OF the water, and this is important as it shows something....

When you go INTO the water, it represents you DYING with Jesus, that your old self, your sins and everything has died, and it'll like "stay in the water" to make it simpler...

Then when you get OUT OF the water, it shows that you've RESURRECTED with Jesus, that now you have a new life and when this happens there's a new grace that comes upon you......a special grace...you'll feel it when you get baptised...

You have to have an open heart when you get baptised, don't go like "oh it's just going into the water and then out of the water"

NO, NO, NO, it's more than that, SO MUCH MORE....

When you go into the water, prepare yourself when you come out place in your heart the decision to receive something from God "I can't wait to live a new life for Jesus, can't wait to see what God is going to give to me" have that attitude when you're getting Baptised....

Of course remember this yeah, that even if you don't get baptised, it doesn't mean that you'll go to hell, no, no, no, cause God understands, like imagine right, a VERY sick person right just got saved and cannot get baptised right, cause cannot leave the hospital, then he passed away right.....you think he'll go to hell kah, NO NO NO, just because you're not baptised does NOT mean you'll go to hell....

Getting baptised is very important, but BELIEVING in Jesus Christ, is MORE IMPORTANT!!!

Romans 10:9
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

So that's about it, it's actually very summarised, but it covers a lot of the points :)

Really hope that this helps you, and always remember GOD LOVES YOU!!!

GOD BLESS YA ®

really can't wait to hear how everything went!!!
