The Baptism of the Gentiles Explained
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 11, 1 – 18:
Now the Apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles too had accepted the word of God. So when Peter went up to Jerusalem the circumcised believers confronted him, saying, “You entered the house of uncircumcised people and ate with them.” Peter began and explained it to them step by step, saying, “I was at prayer in the city of Joppa when in a trance I had a vision, something resembling a large sheet coming down, lowered from the sky by its four corners, and it came to me. Looking intently into it, I observed and saw the four-legged animals of the earth, the wild beasts, the reptiles, and the birds of the sky. I also heard a voice say to me, ‘Get up, Peter. Slaughter and eat.” But I said, “Certainly not, sir, because nothing profane or unclean has even entered my mouth.’ But a second time a voice from heaven answered, ‘What God had made clean, you are not to call profane.’ This happened three times, and then everything was drawn up again into the sky. Just then three men appeared at the house where we were, who had been sent to me from Caesarea. The Spirit told me to accompany them without discriminating. These six brothers also went with me and we entered the man’s house. He related to us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, saying, ‘Send someone to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter, who will speak words to you by which you and all your household will be saved.’ As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them as it had upon us at the beginning, and I remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said, ‘John baptized with water but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ if then God gave them the same gift he gave to us when we came to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to be able to hinder God?” When they heard this, they stopped objecting and glorified God, saying, “God has then granted life-giving repentance to the Gentiles too.”
A few years ago I was in Montreal and I had a Healing Mass. While I was praying over the many people present, then suddenly I placed my hands on the head of a woman and she began to role on the floor and to scream. Then I prayed with another woman near her and she too fell on the floor and she became to scream too. So I stopped praying over the people and I decided to chase the evil spirits that possessed these women. When they stopped shouting, I asked them if they had ever belonged to New Age. They answered “Yes.” So that is where they received those evil spirits. I prayed for a long time until both of them were freed. I told them never to go to this devilish group and never let anyone do reiki on them. They agreed never to go there again and never to let one of them do reiki on them.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Be united to Me My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who believe in Me. You will have the power to send the Holy Spirit upon the people to help them repent of their sins and to be completely renewed. See what Saint Peter did at Cornelius’ house.
The Jewish Christians were against Saint Peter for having gone to Cornelius’ house and eating with them because he and his family were Gentiles. Jews were not to eat with Gentiles. Peter explained to these Jewish Christians what the Lord had showed him one day. He had seen a big sheet come down and when he looked inside he saw all kinds of animals, reptiles and birds. I told Peter to get up, kill and eat. Saint Peter refused because he was a Jew. I told him that what God has made clean you are not to call profane and everything was drawn up into the sky. It is then that the men sent by Cornelius knocked at the door and asked Saint Peter to accompany them to Caesarea. He accepted to go with them and the result was that Cornelius and his whole household were baptized and believed in Me with all their heart and they had received the Holy Spirit. I ask you all My friends to work together with Me.”
