Before you read this study understand that we do not teach, we share and then ask all who read the following take it to God and verify it with Him. We believe a lot of the world is misled by the church of the world and religion vs the one true church. And to know the truth can only come from knowing, not just knowing of God, John 14:26, I John 2:27, Rev 3:19-22.
Many are called but few are chosen because many are misled by false teachers Matthew 7:13-15 so we help all who wants to know the truth how to find and know the truth of and by God and not of and by man.



7 Steps to Salvation and Discipleship


Pastor J. R. Wilhite

True salvation is from everything, bondage, death, sin, the world. Salvation is being saved from illness, lack, and the grave.

We, so many times, think of salvation as just our souls or spirits, but it is our whole being that is being saved.

Christ is a form of the Greek word meaning the anointing.

27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

Isaiah 10:27 (KJV)

Our burden taken away and yokeS (chains, sin, debt) destroyed.

"And in that day", what day? The day of the Lord. Up to this point the day of the Lord was every 50 years, the Jubilee. But the true day of the Lord was when we would be reconnected to the Lord.

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Luke 4:18-19 (KJV)

So Jesus told them and us that He had come to preach the year of the Lord, that day had come, the day when the anointing is released on the earth.

What is the anointing?

Anointing is being covered, in, on, and through our being in what ever we are covered in, like a sponge in a sink of water.

Jesus said the Spirit of the Lord was on Him, so He was anointed in the Spirit. If Christ is the anointing, then to be of Christ is to be anointed of the Spirit of God.

Jesus went on to say in Acts that as John had baptized in water that after His sending the Spirit back to us we would be baptized of the Spirit. Anointed in the Spirit of God. God is a Spirit and to be anointed in the same Spirit is to be anointed in God, to have God in, on and through us.

But first we must be saved, we are like lost sheep, and we must be found and returned to the flock.

  1. Finding out we have a void in us, we are missing something, this is the first step.
  2. The Spirit of God calls us and we realize what we need is God, is step 2.
  3. We accept the Lord Jesus as our savior and Lord in every area of our life, is step 3.
  4. We spend time with God in prayer listening more and talking less until we hear His voice so well that we hear it in all things we do, is step 4 & 5.
  5. We study in His Word, we read and read and allow the Spirit to give understanding to all we read, is step 4 & 5.
  6. We spend time with like minded, spirit filled and led people, is step 6.
  7. We are obedient to God, repent when we make a mistake and try not to repeat the mistake or sin and we live our life as Jesus did His, is step 7.

Now, the above 7 steps are simplified steps to salvation, salvation in all areas.

Some people may be upset that I did not add Baptism in water or comunion in the steps. Both of these are ways of showing our faith they are not salvation.


God is a God of Love, true love, a love we can not understand fully in this life.

He is our Father, and like all good Fathers, He only wants the best for us. Sometimes His "No" means a blessing in our life. He does not apply sin in our life, that is of the world.

Sin came from the disobedience of one (Adam) and as such of one (Jesus) the re-action of sin is removed.

God gave the law to point out sin, so we could avoid stepping in the many puddles of sin in our life. But that was not enough to save us, it just started the process. Then He starting seeding His word in the earth through men of God over time.

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

John 1:14 (KJV)

As the word became flesh and lived a life free of sin and died for our sins, He paved a way for us back to the Father.

Satan was not going to sit still for this, so he started dividing us, and trying to keep us wrapped up into the old ways, ways where we depended on man and not God.

But Jesus said He would send us a helper.

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 14:26 (KJV)

And this helper would teach us, not of man, but of God.

27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

1 John 2:27 (KJV)

So we are called by the Spirit; we accept the Lord as our Savior and Lord; we listen until we can hear directly from Him. We are obedient and operate and live in the love that Jesus did, and at the end of our life we will have finished in His glory with all the glory going to Him.

At first it is hard, but as we learn the trials, tests, and attacks that come seem less and less hard and not as long.

As long as you are listening to God, hearing His voice and obedient to Him, you are a true child of God, (Romans 8:16)/

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

Eph 4:4 (KJV)

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have comanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

matt 28:19-20 (KJV)
