After salvation

May 2025


Dear Judy,

What am I supposed to do after I receive salvation from Christ?


Dear New Believer,

First, I want to say how wonderful to have you in the family of God. Welcome! Heaven is joyful because of you joining the Family! It says in Luke 15: 6,7, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.


For me when I lead someone to Christ and they turn their life over to Jesus, I want them to have every tool they need to succeed in their new life with Christ! So, one great tool available is the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the sign of speaking in other tongues.


When you got saved, the Holy Spirit comes and lives in you! Get a good study Bible and read about the Holy Spirit. Read in the book of Acts about the baptism of the Holy Spirit where He comes upon you. Jesus is the baptizer. The word baptize means to dunk or immerse! So, you are going to be immersed in the Holy Spirit and He will come up and out of you with a new language that you will not understand. But you will be always speaking the perfect prayer and the mysteries of Christ.


By faith, just like you received Christ as your personal Savior and Lord, you will release the language! Just get on your knees and surrender. Ask the Lord Jesus to baptize you with the Holy Spirit and He will!


Find a Bible preaching Pentecostal church where the Spirit is moving with signs and wonders and miracles. This is all very exciting!  


You may want to get my book Path of the Spirit which is about the Holy Spirit. It’s available from Amazon. If you need further help, you can call me directly.

We are living in very serious times! It is important that we take an account of our heart. Let’s allow the Holy Spirit to search our heart and expose any hidden place of unforgiveness or offense. If we hang onto those and do not repent, we are the only one chained and we leave a door cracked

I want us to think about where our focus is. This is very important in these last of the last days! Do we have one foot in the world and the other in the Kingdom of God? If so, we are in BIG trouble because we are not surrendering all we are to Jesus Christ.
