- We believe in one God-Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Creator of all things.
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died, was buried, was resurrected, ascended into heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father and is true God and true man.
- We believe the Bible in its entirety to be the inspired Word of God and the infallible rule of faith and conduct.
- We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the eternal happiness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost.
- We believe in personal salvation of believers through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
- We believe in sanctification through the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit, and we believe in personal holiness, purity of heart and life.
- We believe in divine healing, through faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, and that healing is included in the Redemption.
- We believe in water baptism, in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit as distinct from the New Birth, in speaking with tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance (Acts 2:4), in the gifts of the Spirit, and the evidence of the fruit of the Spirit. We believe that all of these are available to believers.
- We believe in the Christian's hope-the soon-coming, personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The mission of Antonas Ministries International is to teach Christians worldwide who they are in Christ Jesus and how to live a victorious life in their covenant rights and privileges. The fulfillment of that mission takes place when those believers become rooted and grounded enough in God's Word to reach out and teach others these same principles.
* We are called to lead people, primarily born-again believers, to the place where they operate proficiently in the biblical principles of faith, love, healing, prosperity, redemption and righteousness, and to the place where they can share those principles with others.
* We are called to assist believers in becoming rooted, grounded and established in the Word of God by teaching them to give God's Word first place in their lives (Colossians 1:23, Psalm 112).
* We are called to reveal the mysteries, the victorious revelations of God's Word, that have been hidden from the ages (Colossians 1:25-28).
* We are called to build an army of mature believers, bringing them from milk to meat, from religion to reality. We are called to train them to become skillful in the word of righteousness, to stand firm in the spiritual warfare against the kingdom of darkness (Hebrews 5:12-14, Ephesians 6:10-18).
Is there something missing from your life? Do you seem unable to find peace?
Work through this page with me. On it you will find forgiveness, freedom from guilt and pain, direction, a personal relationship with God, and the Father's plan for your future and your life.
It is a simple path to follow. The answers are right here. Let's take those few steps together.
Step 1: Accept that God has a plan for you that includes a positive abundant place that is yours now and through eternity.
The Word of God says: “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)
God has already given of Himself to make that possible: “ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
God gave His only son to show how much He loves us and wants to spend time with us. Giving a gift so valuable we might wonder why more don't want it.
Step 2: Accept that you must reconnect with God.
The connection with God was broken by disobedience. God provided a way for us to live that abundant life through all eternity but we have chosen our own path. We must reforge that connection that keeps us separated from God.
The Word of God says that the result of our disobedience, or sin, is death. “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” (Proverbs 14:12) He also said: “But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.” (Isaiah 59:2)
In the Epistle to the Romans, Paul said it this way: “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23)
You may have heard of those we call “the rich and famous”, the ones who seem to have it all (riches, success, star status, etc.) - lives filled with “things” but they too have nothing without that connection with God. Those “things” just don't seem to fill that space reserved for God, through His Son, and hard though they try, they will still remain empty.
Step 3: Realize and accept that God has provided only one acceptable connection.
Jesus Christ, His Son, is the only connection to God. We have tried many other things hoping to find the true God but none have or ever will work. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, triumphed over death in the grave bridging that connection for us with God, the Father.
The word of God says in 1 Peter 3:18, “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God” and it also says in 1 Timothy 2:5, “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus”.
God, by giving His son for us, made provision for that reconnection in our lives. How could anyone not want that. As Christ has already paid the penalty for our disobedience, our sin, the gift is now free. Yes, it can be that simple.
Step 4: Receive Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord.
Jesus Christ is the only bridge to reconnect us with God Almighty. We can put the bridge in place by placing our trust in Christ and His finished work on the cross. God fills that void, completing us.
A simple invitation is found in God's Word. “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” (Revelations 3:20)
The Bible also tells us, “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
You have walked the path with me this far; is there any reason not to take this step with me right now? Are you willing to release the pain? Are you willing to let the burdens go? Are you willing to repent of your sins? Are you willing to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior now?
It's very simple. Let's go to the final step together.
Step 5: Receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of your life.
This is the most important step you will ever take in your life. Just pray this simple prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I believe You came to earth 2,000 years ago. I believe you died for me on the cross and shed Your blood for my salvation. I believe you rose from the dead and ascended on high. I believe You are coming back again to earth. Dear Jesus, I am a sinner. Forgive my sin. Cleanse me now with Your precious blood. Come into my heart. Save my soul right now. I give you my life. I receive You now as my Savior, my Lord, and my God. I am Yours forever, and I will serve You and follow You the rest of my days. From this moment on, I belong to You only. I no longer belong to this world, nor to the enemy of my soul. I belong to You, and I am born again. Amen!
Now that you have prayed this prayer, my brother or sister in Christ, God, our Heavenly Father, has promised that your past sins are removed and a place has been prepared for you to spend all eternity.
The Word of God says, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” (John 1:12)
Let us walk forward into this new abundant life together. Thank you Lord for saving us!
