How I Got Saved – Salvation From Satan’s Kingdom — Updated June 2023
“I don’t know what JESUS will do to help you out. He gave me a vision in the form of a spiritual dream — a real entrance into the spirit world. He has his own methods and plans for reaching you with salvation”.
How I Got Saved – Judge All Visions (1 Thess. 5:21)
Section update September 17, 2022
“Having a spiritual experience or encounter with Jesus Christ means nothing UNLESS the experience moves you to choose to see what He sees and think what He thinks as a result of the vision.
The Lord can give you a vision for exhorting and encouraging your heart when it needs direction or if you need comforting. In my case the Lord gave a vision as a warning (admonition) to repent of my sins and obey Jesus Christ. If you don’t repent of your sins, you are still recorded in His book (by Jesus, Himself) as “a sinner against Him who loves to have your own way” even though you have had a spiritual vision or encounter with Jesus. If you are in a false religion, the real Jesus has not come in a vision to you without letting you know to repent of that false JESUS and false religious worship. John 3:16-21, Revelation 3:5, Revelation 20:11-15, 1 Thessalonians 5:21
HUMBLED MYSELF
No one can humble on our own strength. Lucifer’s pride is — literally — in our DNA. Praise Jesus, that we can ALWAYS ask God “please help me to humble, give me strength to humble myself Lord God because in my heart I want to do the right thing. Help me. Thank you”. He will.
Luke 18:13-14
13) And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14) I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Saved – What I Did Second
AGREED WITH JESUS ON WHO HE IS
I told my precious Bible Lord Jesus Christ that I would never leave Him because “now, I know you are the Truth (John 14:6) . Later, I realized that what I really meant was I would never stop believing He is the Son of God – God come in human flesh.
Jesus IS GOD come down to visit earth in human flesh for a specific, time period and purpose.
Even then, I did not repent = CHANGE
(from my sinner lifestyle and behaviors).
Stupid isn’t it?
BUT YOU CAN’T!
Hebrews 1: 1-4
1) God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2) Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3) Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4) Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Saved – What I Did Thirdly
AGREED WITH JESUS ON WHO I WAS
According to JESUS, my regular life before I surrendered my obedience and allegiance to Him (Saved from being a sinner) and AFTER I said “I’ll never leave you because now I know you are the truth” was the same “regular” life I was already living in at least one of the sin behaviors listed on this page. In Ephesians 5:6-12, the Lord’s sent authority Paul is speaking to Christians in the churches:
Ephesians 5:6-12
“6) Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7) Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8) For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9) (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 11) And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12) For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. ”
Even then, I did not repent = CHANGE.
(from my sinner lifestyle and behaviors)
Stupid isn’t it?
BUT YOU CAN’T!
FOURTH – WHAT I DID ALONG THE WAY …
To Survive …
▶ Avoid False Brethren in False Religions
▶ Avoid ‘Christians’ In Church Who Are NOT Really Saved
(Revelation 3:9 and Rev. 3:1)
No! I had not called on Jesus confessing my sins. No! I did no turning from my sins while calling on Jesus with faith that He could and would save me from eternal damnation (Acts 22:12-16).
Some of you are living right now — in church — in at least one of these sinner attitudes, conducts, behaviors or lifestyles that I was in and was unashamed of it before Holy GOD.
You, too, have no shame for your ungodly lifestyle.
Some of you even push your “right” to sin, claiming to be a “sinner saved by grace” — who sins everyday. You take so lightly the curse that brought your Beloved to a demeaning public death on a Cross.
You even make fun of Christians who DO keep themselves pure for the Lord with instant repentance if they sin. You mock them as “holier than thou” or “so spiritual you are no earthly good”, or “super-spiritual”. Satan has a grip on you.
You actually believe the Holy Bible Jesus will overlook it and let you inside His kingdom anyway — when He has promised us to not let anyone in who takes sin lightly and He has never done it anywhere in His Holy Bible testimonies about Himself. You are a on your way to Hell when you die — just as I was.
Like I was, you are damned for all eternity if you don’t stop the mess you are doing. So, don’t think because you believe Jesus is the Son of God it’s going to get you off the hook. The kind of “believe” that Jesus is talking about is obedience. JESUS SAID ” the devils believe, and tremble”. So, our mental agreement that He is the Son of God is no big deal to Jesus. In fact, it’s worse. The devils at least tremble with respect and fear of Him and his coming judgment. Man, Woman … we believe and keep on doing our abominable evil ways that provoke the Lord. He was referring to just such persons as I was and some of you are sitting up in a church every week. Then we have the nerve to wonder …
- Why aren’t my prayers getting answered?
- Why did God let this happen to me?
- Why am I not healed? Didn’t he say ask? I asked and believed Him.
- Why does He seem so far away? Why is my life so miserable?
- Why am I not hearing Him like I used to?
- Why is nothing working?
This list does not refer to things happening to you because you are being persecuted for obedience to Jesus, but for disobedience.
SAVED – WHAT I DID NEXT
CONFESSED & CALLED UPON JESUS … BELIEVING … and Got Baptized
WARNING: Pharisees, Scribes, Lawyers, and Sadducees ( Theology Students)
Intellect or education training in the Bible (aka theology) and the Bible Jesus Christ as the Savior of mankind will not save you. The same evil spirits in the Pharisees, scribes, lawyers, and Sadducees who envied Jesus’ pure heart are in “religious “persons today.
Avoid these persons if you want to survive. Love them, treat them kindly, but do NOT hang with them, because you will pick up their ways with God. God doesn’t want your religious thinking, but a heart surrendered to obey Jesus.
You must make a change!
Change from living for Satan in the way you think, socialize, have fun, and behave — fulfilling his evil plans and culture. Start living humbly corrected and adjusted to Jesus Christ.
In my head, I started believing who Jesus is, but I was still living my normal (sinner) life (Matthew 15:19, Romans 1:16-32) like everybody does. Normal life for me was separated from obedience to Jesus Christ as the ruler over my ways of thinking and behaving. All I had at that point was a new “respect” for Jesus Christ.
YOU MUST CONFESS
Confession Is Power
CONFESSION TO JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO BREAK SATAN’S HOLD OFF OF YOU
Acts 19:18-20
18) And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. 19) Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20) So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
Since I was so deceived to not repent after the terrifying dream, not realizing what a grip and hold Satan had on my will, Jesus helped me out! I don’t know what He will do to help you out. He gave me a vision in the form of a spiritual dream — a real entrance into the spirit world.
In the dream, there were these little flying creatures about the size of monkeys. They were flying all over my room coming at me — then turning away for the next swoop. It was DEVILS. I knew what they were in the dream. And they were real! They were giving me a little taste of what was going to happen to me in my very near future. Earlier that year, I had already almost drowned in the Current River in Annapolis, Missouri — “begging” God to not let me die like that and my father be hurt finding me. I saw all my evil ways flash before my eyes as I was going under.
I awakened from the dream-vision in a panic about 1:00 or 2:00 am. I called my sister who was Pastor Gloria Ferguson and she, with another Pastor Patrick Easley had been “hounding” me to come back to God. Be saved. “Don’t stay out there … some don’t make it back” they warned me. I just blew it off. Somebody has been hounding you! “I’m ready to be saved! Pray the sinner’s prayer with me”! She did, I did, Jesus did.
Please, don’t any of you who have tried for so long, with suffering and tears of patience, to turn a sinner away from Satan and to the Lord Jesus think that you have failed. Time belongs to Jesus! He chooses when. Your witness is NEVER in vain. Thank you!
LIGHTBULB!
YOU CAN’T DO IT … YOU’RE “BOUND”
Failing of the grace of God means you like what you’re doing and the friends who take pleasure in what you are doing or take pleasure in doing it with you. They help Satan keep his grip that he has on you.
HOW TO CONFESS
Sample Prayer (Fill In Your Own Info)
Lord Jesus, please forgive me for not believing in You. Please forgive me for not obeying You. I am a sinner. I’m going to Hell. I confess that I am a [fill in the blank] … but I turn from my evil ways to obedience to you. I believe you are God come in flesh and your power comes on me right now as I confess and you will patiently keep me along the way until you come for me.
Fill in the blanks
LORD JESUS, I confess that I am a (or that I do): _____________________________. I turn from it to obey you with my life. Please forgive me and be my Lord.
Dissimulator – As a CHRISTIAN, I separate myself from holy living Christians. As a non-Christian, I separate myself from persons for no righteous reasons
Liar (do not acknowledge Your truth about myself and others)
Murderer (seeking — in any manner — to destroy others lives or well-being)
Glory-seeker (want power over others, superiority, control and admiration drawn to me)
Whore (Giving my body to others — not committed as a man to any one woman via marriage, not committed as a woman to any one man via marriage. Marriage belongs to God who created it. He decides its design. He made it for only a person biologically born a man to one biologically born a woman.
Injurious (enjoy making people feel hurt)
Blasphemer (talking bad about God, Jesus, or His holy living people & things)
Finally – Anything else you can think of or have heard from others who DO obey the Bible Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, ask Him! Will you please be my Lord? Rule over me … I give you my consent. I turn from my ways of living for your enemy Satan. TAKE HIS POWER OFF MY LIFE!
Thank you, Jesus. You are my Lord, now. I belong to you.
Praise Jesus for you! You are our new brother or sister all over God’s earth.
Your next “first steps” is to ask your Lord who rules over you to send you to (or bring to you) the Pastor that He has, personally, trained to watch out for your soul from Satan (Satan wants you back!) and train your spirit in the powers of the Bible Lord Jesus Christ — the way He wants you trained. He will do it. Just commit right now to walk your own road Jesus has for you and not feel you must join to anything that you’ve always seen or “every other Christian is doing it”. It’s fine if JESUS leads you to do what others are, not fine if He does not want their road for you.
Don’t worry. He will put it in your heart, backed by His Word (The New Testament) and with multiple signs and wonders confirming what He’s doing in your heart.
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. — Proverbs 28:13

Pornography and all other ungodly physical behaviors fit one of these categories that God hates. Satan is always plotting to deceive us into justifying our sin behavior by calling it a sickness, disease, or a “disorder” — or something natural to humans that can’t be avoided.
Proverbs 24:9

Matthew 15:19
