The river Thames is 200 miles long. I'm guessing he got baptised in a quieter spot than London Bridge, I pray he turns from the yoga and meditation to meditating in the word of God. He doesn't do anything by halfs so we will see where it goes. He can't hang on to all the new age stuff and false religion if he is going to please God
Baptism is the conversion moment where we access the blood of Christ, enter the grave with him and are resurrected a new creation, no longer a slave to sin, but now a servant of Christ.
Regardless of who he is and what he has done? I don't understand why Christians welcome people like Trump and Brand with open arms despite them taking ZERO responsibility for their actions. As an agnostic from a very Christian family, this is not the moral blueprint I was raised on. Is the argument that it can be suspended in special cases if they are famous and will increase visibility of Christianity?
I have been praying for Russell for years! I don't think Russell goes into something lightly, he is a deep carful thinker. I think this one will stick! Keep him in prayer!
Why do you say that? You’re actually on your knees at the end of the day, folding your hands and praying for a celebrity? No you’re not. Lmao that sounds so insane. If you are doing that, you have too much time on your hands and are focusing on the wrong things in your life
@@BigWrangler How do you know they don't? But praying isn't just on your knees hands folded, The Bible says Pray without ceasing... that would be impossible if your way is the only way to pray as jobs are a thing. Also why aren't you praying for celebs? They are people too and if they convert then they can use their influence for God.
@bigwrangler - so we can’t pray for celebrities? And if we do pray for them, we have to fold our hands and get on our knees? Is that the only way you pray? We are called to love our neighbor, and celebrities are our neighbors as well. Obviously we don’t have enough time to pray for everyone, but let’s just say that someone has a favorite TH-cam channel of someone like Joe Rogan or Russel Brand, why not take the time to pray for them? I would encourage you to do the same. Also, I’m sure you realize this, but when we’re called to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thess 5:17), it implies that we can pray at any moment during the day or night, not just when on our knees. God bless
@@ryanbensberg5846 maybe cos i have more urgent matters to attend to in my life, that dont revolve around what a celebrity is doing. Like my family, friends and own well being. Also People just like to say “im praying for you” But they dont actually pray for them. Its just a thing they like to say for attention and to seem like a caring person. Im a christian btw. But its just too silly to not call out how insanely annoying that is when people say that for everything.
As a Christian I am tired of people in general as well as other Christians being quick to see if someone messes up, these people are what I like to call, not Christian. I wonder if God did that to them, how you would feel. So let us be supportive and forgiving and loving.
I don’t understand why we constantly question these persons coming to Christianity. I understand being cynical, but that is not my concern. We should just be lifting them up in prayer. Seems like these people are quite vulnerable to spiritual attack and our cynicism doesn’t help. They need prayer and the Holy Spirit, not our mockery and cynicism. In the world and not of it… Praying for them, real or not, hoping they have a close encounter with the Living God!! ❤❤❤
I love Russell… have been watching him since Covid… I’m a 64 year old woman and have loved his top shelf intelligence… and now this… absolutely blown away… so so happy for him🙏🙏🙏
@@davidcjupp So, what about you! Do the people you have hurt along the way forgiven you? Sin is sin, and that is the beauty of The forgiveness of Jesus. Everyone has sinned and fallen and that is why Jesus died on the Cross so that we can receive forgiveness. Even the most vile person can receive forgiveness if they turn from their fallen nature and accept the gift. 👍🌸
@@KM-xr5gg Convenient. Believe in God, believe in Jesus and all of your sins are forgiven. So what does Russell Brand do... find Christ after decades of horrendous behaviour. Funny he didn't find him before he was outed eh?
"It's New For Me And I'm Learning" "It's A Joy To Me . " "I'm So Grateful To Be Surrendered In Christ" ❤️ That's straight From His Mouth. Sounds Like He Had An Amazing Baptism Experience ✝️🕊️ As Christians Let's Not Judge The Man AMEN I Pray That RB Continues To Walk In Faith In Christ Jesus 🙏🏼✝️🕊️
We as Christians should be praying and cheering for him. I have been following him for many years. I feel his words in many topics addition, his sober journey, politics and religion are always sincere and from the heart. I’m happy and joyful for him. I love all of it for him.
I got baptised yesterday in the ocean, I was shaking uncontrollably, the water was cold but not that cold.. the brother in Christ next to me was speaking in tongues it was wild, but afterwards he pointed out that I stopped shaking, when I realised it was almost like I was coming to, I realised that I had actually stopped shaking.. it was definitely an experience for me! Praise the good Lord ❤️
I can still remember people hating on Brian "Head" Welch after his conversion and when he eventually got back into Korn. I don't even know where he is now, but for years he was with a traveling group of ministers preaching Jesus backstage at Korn concerts and so many people found deliverance. Too many want to see the exalted fall - I'd rather help or watch as those people who never knew Jesus find him through these people's reach.
I watched a video recently where it seemed like he was still currently preaching Jesus before the shows. It was pretty amazing to see the amount of people he had together praying and praising! ❤
Eric I totally agree, Russell has incredible reach and the world is so so ready for the Gospel, now that evil is being live streamed 24/7 people are coming to God - the harvest is here!
Ill pray for Russell. For myself, my baptism came out of a spiritual high. Very beautiful experience. Months after I was struck by some of the biggest challenges of my life and almost lost my faith. I pray that Russell is prepared for the ups and downs that he will continue to experience and endure.
As a convert, the way to describe finding out how loved you are by the One who created everything, it's something that can't be put into words. You become completely and continuously intoxicated with awe and joy, even when you find yourself in darkness, you end up clinging to God because that's all you have and you know what it was like in the darkness when you had nothing to cling onto. Non-believers can't comprehend it so they antagonise it, but I see the genuineness in Russell coming to this, because he seems to have been searching for so long for what could fill the emptiness in his soul.
I know exactly what he means, I used to smoke so much weed to the point that it used to cause my liver pain, but it didn’t matter. I just needed to get high. But when I got baptized in the Holy Spirit it felt like the greatest high I ever got but I was completely sober. I felt like one with God, as if He was hugging me. The way I describe it is pure Holiness, something drugs could never imitate. Been sober for 8 months strong since
In the UK, we've been a lot more familiar with Russell for a lot longer than those elsewhere. Brand has been someone who has been present in British popular culture since I was in school, and I don't see any reason to believe he isn't sincere. Everything I know of him tells me that he is someone who would benefit from and also be open to Christ.
I'm tired of the skepticism when public people convert. His wife is Catholic, so he understands that baptism is a huge commitment, and it looks like he's taking this commitment seriously. That frenetic energy he had before has calmed down so much, and he seems like he has true peace now. I'm sure he will continue to grow. He'll make mistakes, but a lot of people have prayed for him and we need to continue.
i mean he's been accused of r-pe by multiple women. kinda convenient he takes the dip and is now 'leaving the past behind' 'free of sin' ' a different person' etc. too bad his victims dont get to take a bath and erase all the pain and trauma russel inflicted on them.
@AdamSmithChill that seems like a pretty young Christian opinion. People have passed. People of the Bible have passed. That was the whole point of Jesus christ. Is that he forgives us of our sins and we can be born again. It's not up for you or I to decide, it is between him and Jesus christ. Why are we going to disciple and use Fellowship to get people to come to Christ if we're only going to lower their past over them?
I also noticed the change in his communication style and downshift from 8th gear into something closer to cruise. The peaceful energy coming from him now is delightful as were his words about his choice.
Russell sincerely made a conscious decsion/effort to get clean and leave Hollywood behind. And embraced following jesus christ...His humility is inspiring...
Father, please guide Russell and establish Him in gospel, in truth and in intimacy with Yourself. Protect him and shine through Him so that even more may come to know of Your great love and Your desire for relationship with them. ❤
Same here February 24 2024 …not baptised by water but by the Holy Spirit reborn again ..some powerful journey I am going through since my baptism and it’s amazing ❤️🙏😭😭😭
His sharing brought tears to my eyes as I remembered my own baptism decades ago and the feeling that came over me coming out of the water. It was life changing and indescribable. The Spirit is powerful.
“Because of natural law there can be true things said in those faiths without those faiths being true…” always wanted to articulate this in a succinct way, well said!
Yes to accept Jesus is a powerful thing. For me before i became a Christian i believed a God exist but nothing anything like biblical God who have relationship with you. I heard one ministry who said "Try invite Jesus in your life and he will answer your prayer and he can save you and help you in your today life." So i tried it out and cried for help in my deepest and difficult time of my life. My life totally changed from that on and my prayer got answered and all my burden all of sudden became light and easy. From that on i start to believe in Christ in 2015. Not because of anything then my personal experience of it. After that i start to read bible to know more about him. I started to recognize Jesus was already there with me sense i was a child and i fully comprehend that later in life when i become a Christian. Now the only thing worth living for is my Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
The ironic thing is that while many Christians are turning their back on God,many unbelievers are turning to Christ. So, it is our responsibility as Christian to keep them in prayer.
The knives are out already! Russell Brand - and by his own admission - has plenty of faults, just like the rest of us. Mr Brand has made a profound symbolic change in his life, and good for him. As a public figure, his decision to become baptised was certain to attract criticism, scorn and ridicule of every kind. It is therefore no surprise to me that numerous other commentators are already foaming at the mouth (even in the most measured and articulate manner) - now that Russell Brand has declared his devotion to Christ. Let's hope and pray that these mockers will eventually also find their way to the Truth.
I'm so tired of cynicism about conversions. Everything about him seems genuine. He's never been shy to say what's on his mind. He has slowed down and that frenetic way he had of talking and overexplaning everything has calmed down so much. You can tell he has true peace now.
@@AdamSmithChill We can & do change our lives for the better, or the worst. We can find Jesus, and just the same we can lose Him. If his Baptism was valid, his sins have been wiped away, and he has become a child of God!
Spitting hot fire at the end "Make sure you know him." Going back through Genesis in my Bible study has made that fact also apparent it's always been about knowing God. Abraham had face-to-face encounters- and we should be on speaking terms daily Amen
It got rid of my anxiety depression and migraines after I was baptized. It literally changed me ❤ I also feel much closer to God and hear him more clearly.
Russell is sincere. I have been watching his transformation over the last 4 years. Kenye was NEVER sincere and now he's upset God didn't answers his prayers in the way Kanye wanted on the timeline Kenye wanted. He just thought God would "bless" him by restoring his wealth and fame. Now realizing that God did bless him and answer his prayers, he just didn't want to accept the blessing because it wasn't the one Kenya wanted. Kenye thinks God is nothing more than a Genie in the bottle.
I've always believed in Jesus but only got baptized last year at age 43. I was literally crying right before, idk if it was from shame of my old life or maybe saying goodbye to that chapter, but when I went under I felt free and weightless and the smile on my face coming out of the water was so huge. I felt pure joy.
The river Thames spans nearly 40 miles, it could’ve been anywhere, I would not have thought it would’ve been by the houses of Parliament or Big Ben hahahaha
People talked about him in the 90s and early 2000s the problem is he was extremely inconsistent with his message, coming from a huge fan of his. You can’t push preach a sermon, say a prayer, cry and then go to rapping what these b*s want all in the same concert. I think people just eventually dismissed it as what we call now call cultural Christianity, and so they stopped paying attention
I think the passage that was just referenced in Matthew would describe DMX as he was backthen. I used to go to night school, and one night, a few of us went to a club he was performing at after class. He was already done when we got there, though. However, I guess we caught his eye because there was a group of us all in scrubs. It seemed most of the crowd had already left. He offered to buy us a beer. Which we gladly accepted, and then asked my friend if she wanted to go "smoke" with him. She did. But while they were up there, (the roof of the club. He's DMX 😅) he hit on her. She turned him down because not only was she married, but so was he. I don't know if she was a Christian, but She had morals and loves her husband. Anyhow, I don't know if he has changed, but I know, at least at the time, he did not practice what he preached.
To Russell Brand, Thank you for sharing your receiving Jesus as your Savior and Lord. Baptism is indeed a statement of faith in Jesus. Hold on to Jesus with both hands. So happy for you.❤
Russell Brand speaks about Christianity more eloquently and deeply than anyone I have heard in my lifetime. I hope he writes a book in which he more fully expresses his experience.
I’ve been specifically praying for Russell and Joe Rogan to believe. I’m also going to pray that Mr. West will be saved. God Bless you , Mr. Brand. ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m tired of living in a world where homosexuality is completely normal behavior. It’s so clear to me it’s unnatural and goes against the way we were designed.
This has absolutely nothing to do with this video and we don't need to bash on that community every chance we get. That's not good for the church. It's not good for anyone. I'm just tired of living in a world where satan runs as rampant as he does. Sin is everywhere. Singling out a specific group is just spiteful.
@@BrandonKnowsNothingAboutSports No, it's okay to be weary of the sin that the world demands we affirm and celebrate. It's okay to not like the fallen parts of this world. He didn't bash anyone.
All sexual sin does, whether it be homosexuality or any other sin. Anything outside of God's marriage he made between man and woman is an abomination to him. But the only way to get out of it is to be all in on Jesus, first the forgiveness of sins, and then a deep loving relationship with God.
That was beautiful Chills up my spine I’m knew too I’m uneducated I’m not experienced at all But I’m so excited and want to talk about Can we do that ?
It could be that he will prove otherwise, but Brand strikes me as a genuine person. Imperfect, but truly trying to do his best and seeking truth. If he says that he believes in Christ and is willing and wanting to submit himself to Jesus I am going to take him at his word.
Hallelujah yes it is definitely a supernatural experience I was baptized in cold water and I felt the warmth of the fire of the Holy Spirit upon me it is real if ur heart is truly in the right place to receive the water baptism 🔥🕊🙌🏻🙏🏻💯💫🌟👼😇❤️🔥
So excited for Russel and his journey. Man has a good head on his shoulders and I pray that God will keep, guide and continue to bless him and that he will be an even greater blessing unto others and bring glory unto God
I feel over joyed!! Our brother now has eyes that see! A soul that lives, and The blissful essense of something divine!!!:his God given enthusiasm is refreshing, calming, and Makes the air rich in estatic love..
The river Thames moves far beyond Central London, it doesn't all look as grotty as the water by the Houses of Parliament lol. That being said it's probably not the cleanest of rivers
Do you understand what baptism is? The sacrament requires water and the words: " I baptise you (name) in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." The sacrament is a visible sign of invisible grace. The correct visible sign will allow God's inward grace to change the soul, from an absence of spirit to having the Holy Spirit dwelling in the soul. So provided the right materials are used, it is a valid sacrament, and is supernatural. So why the skepticism regarding Russel Brand's baptism?
My baptism was ages ago but I remember getting submerged in the water and there was no time. I saw a beautiful landscape and felt like I was there for eternity. It’s hard to explain. I asked how long I was under the water and it had only been a sec or two. Amazing.
Return to spirituality is absolutely what the world needs in 2024. Christianity is not required but if it helps then by all means go in that direction.
This shows that if you seek the truth about what salvation is, Jesus will reveal Himself to you. I was so lost & hurting when I heard the gospel. I repented of my sins, asked Him to forgive me & He did. I felt the weight lifted & I couldn’t describe the joy I had. Two years later, I got baptized in a hot tub & both my brother & sister came. Later, both got saved & still serve their Lord. God hears our sincere prayers
All good comes from God. The atheist who loves his children - that love is from God. I wonder if hell is where you are just you and you have no access anymore to the goodness of God?
Great video Ruslan, keep em coming brother. Hallelujah for Russell Brand, May God help him to be discipled by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit and a good solid pastor and good solid church. I was praying for him before his salvation. He always just seemed like a genuine seeker of truth. May God bless Him and keep him and his family.
Congratulations Russell, don't let haters worry you. They may find themselves out in the heat,lol....their self-righteous opinions mean nothing. God Bless you and welcome to the family.
Ruslan can you PLEASE PLEASE make a video about the episode of the Flagrant podcast with Billy Carson! I watched it & now I'm so screwed up! Everything I've ever believed flew out the window! PLEASE help! 🙏🙏🙏
Ok, Ruslan...could you clarify what you mean by what is/is not our business as believers? I am a bit confused. It is our business to help new Christians to grow in Christ. It is our business to convince, rebuke, exhort as in 2 Timothy 4::2
I think Russell has finally after a lifetime of searching, found himself on the narrow road. Will he stay on it and grow in Christ? Let’s pray he does.
The river Thames is a very long river. He lives a long way from the centre of London (which is what you were showing in the video) so the water will be cleaner out there.
we can find truths in other religions or belief systems, doesn't mean you completely agree with the belief system ..... its like you can agree with something somebody says without agreeing with every single thought they they ever have or utter.
In some parts of Asia there is a worldview that holds all religions as valuable. So one can believe in Buddhism, ancestral spirits, and nature spirits all at the same time. One of the challenges Christianity has faced is that people will happily believe in Jesus, but just slot Him into their existing belief structure. I'm hearing a bit of that in what Russell Brand is saying.

I was baptized in the ocean, and brother…It was powerful 🌊😭✝️
Same here February 24 2024 …not baptised by water but by the Holy Spirit reborn again ..some powerful journey I am going through since my baptism and it’s amazing ❤️🙏😭😭😭
@@susana4015 Amen to that!.. God bless 🙏🏻
Amazing 😁😁 I wanna be baptized in the Jordan river, i think that’s where Jesus was baptized 😅
I was baptized in the creek on the back of my property. I'm so glad I chose to do it that way instead of in a church. It truly was powerful! ❤🙏🏻😊
@@Jbarnes1WHAT!!!
His sharing brought tears to my eyes as I remembered my own baptism decades ago and the feeling that came over me coming out of the water. It was life changing and indescribable. The Spirit is powerful.
“Because of natural law there can be true things said in those faiths without those faiths being true…” always wanted to articulate this in a succinct way, well said!
Jesus alone knows the heart; it is a contrite and submitted heart that matters. If Russell has truly excepted Christ there will be fruit.
Yes! and well said.
Yes to accept Jesus is a powerful thing. For me before i became a Christian i believed a God exist but nothing anything like biblical God who have relationship with you.
I heard one ministry who said "Try invite Jesus in your life and he will answer your prayer and he can save you and help you in your today life."
So i tried it out and cried for help in my deepest and difficult time of my life. My life totally changed from that on and my prayer got answered and all my burden all of sudden became light and easy. From that on i start to believe in Christ in 2015. Not because of anything then my personal experience of it. After that i start to read bible to know more about him. I started to recognize Jesus was already there with me sense i was a child and i fully comprehend that later in life when i become a Christian.
Now the only thing worth living for is my Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
When i got baptised and came out of the water i spoke in tongues. The spirit of God was upon me. It was amazing!!!
Russell seems sincere and sane. And while he's quirky, I don't think he's mentally ill like Kanye.
The ironic thing is that while many Christians are turning their back on God,many unbelievers are turning to Christ. So, it is our responsibility as Christian to keep them in prayer.
The Thames is very long, & much calmer in many places.
And cleaner
I know that feeling the weight is off the shoulders. Amen praise the Lord 🙏🏾
The knives are out already! Russell Brand - and by his own admission - has plenty of faults, just like the rest of us. Mr Brand has made a profound symbolic change in his life, and good for him. As a public figure, his decision to become baptised was certain to attract criticism, scorn and ridicule of every kind. It is therefore no surprise to me that numerous other commentators are already foaming at the mouth (even in the most measured and articulate manner) - now that Russell Brand has declared his devotion to Christ. Let's hope and pray that these mockers will eventually also find their way to the Truth.
I'm so tired of cynicism about conversions. Everything about him seems genuine. He's never been shy to say what's on his mind. He has slowed down and that frenetic way he had of talking and overexplaning everything has calmed down so much. You can tell he has true peace now.
We all have a cross to bear, sooner or later!
most of us dont have r-pe accusations from multiple women. the skepticism is warranted in his case.
@@AdamSmithChill We can & do change our lives for the better, or the worst. We can find Jesus, and just the same we can lose Him. If his Baptism was valid, his sins have been wiped away, and he has become a child of God!
@@AdamSmithChill All the more so warranted then, given his recent baptism. Because, unlike Mr Brand, we're perfect.
lets keep praying for joe rogan. i feel hes so close to the truth.
Spitting hot fire at the end
"Make sure you know him."
Going back through Genesis in my Bible study has made that fact also apparent it's always been about knowing God. Abraham had face-to-face encounters- and we should be on speaking terms daily
Amen
It got rid of my anxiety depression and migraines after I was baptized. It literally changed me ❤ I also feel much closer to God and hear him more clearly.
He’s very influential so the enemy will attack him even harder now.
I had a similar experience when I was baptized at 17. Never anything like that since.
But the waters of baptism did not save you Jesus Christ did that
Russell is sincere. I have been watching his transformation over the last 4 years. Kenye was NEVER sincere and now he's upset God didn't answers his prayers in the way Kanye wanted on the timeline Kenye wanted. He just thought God would "bless" him by restoring his wealth and fame. Now realizing that God did bless him and answer his prayers, he just didn't want to accept the blessing because it wasn't the one Kenya wanted. Kenye thinks God is nothing more than a Genie in the bottle.
💯💯
Russel needs a sit down with Steven Bancarz about loosing the new age ideas
Real!
Pray for him I know God can unravel any lies from the enemy
I've always believed in Jesus but only got baptized last year at age 43. I was literally crying right before, idk if it was from shame of my old life or maybe saying goodbye to that chapter, but when I went under I felt free and weightless and the smile on my face coming out of the water was so huge. I felt pure joy.
The river Thames spans nearly 40 miles, it could’ve been anywhere, I would not have thought it would’ve been by the houses of Parliament or Big Ben hahahaha
No one seems to talk about DMX. He would straight up preach at concerts
People talked about him in the 90s and early 2000s the problem is he was extremely inconsistent with his message, coming from a huge fan of his. You can’t push preach a sermon, say a prayer, cry and then go to rapping what these b*s want all in the same concert. I think people just eventually dismissed it as what we call now call cultural Christianity, and so they stopped paying attention
He also went through Illuminati blood sacrifices. Rappers talk about little g god all day long, and it’s not God the creator.
I think the passage that was just referenced in Matthew would describe DMX as he was backthen. I used to go to night school, and one night, a few of us went to a club he was performing at after class. He was already done when we got there, though. However, I guess we caught his eye because there was a group of us all in scrubs. It seemed most of the crowd had already left. He offered to buy us a beer. Which we gladly accepted, and then asked my friend if she wanted to go "smoke" with him. She did. But while they were up there, (the roof of the club. He's DMX 😅) he hit on her. She turned him down because not only was she married, but so was he. I don't know if she was a Christian, but She had morals and loves her husband. Anyhow, I don't know if he has changed, but I know, at least at the time, he did not practice what he preached.
I love this so much. It moved my soul. God bless you and welcome to the family Russell!!! ❤❤❤
To Russell Brand,
Thank you for sharing your receiving Jesus as your Savior and Lord. Baptism is indeed a statement of faith in Jesus. Hold on to Jesus with both hands. So happy for you.❤
Russell Brand speaks about Christianity more eloquently and deeply than anyone I have heard in my lifetime. I hope he writes a book in which he more fully expresses his experience.
I’ve been specifically praying for Russell and Joe Rogan to believe. I’m also going to pray that Mr. West will be saved. God Bless you , Mr. Brand. ❤❤❤❤❤
The music (especially "Death to Life") all sounds amazing. Keep it up, Ruslan.
I’m tired of living in a world where homosexuality is completely normal behavior. It’s so clear to me it’s unnatural and goes against the way we were designed.
This has absolutely nothing to do with this video and we don't need to bash on that community every chance we get. That's not good for the church. It's not good for anyone. I'm just tired of living in a world where satan runs as rampant as he does. Sin is everywhere. Singling out a specific group is just spiteful.
That's what you got out of this video?
@@BrandonKnowsNothingAboutSportsThey are at the moment the biggest! They are connected to all sorts of insanity.
@@BrandonKnowsNothingAboutSports No, it's okay to be weary of the sin that the world demands we affirm and celebrate. It's okay to not like the fallen parts of this world. He didn't bash anyone.
All sexual sin does, whether it be homosexuality or any other sin. Anything outside of God's marriage he made between man and woman is an abomination to him. But the only way to get out of it is to be all in on Jesus, first the forgiveness of sins, and then a deep loving relationship with God.
That was beautiful
Chills up my spine
I’m knew too
I’m uneducated
I’m not experienced at all
But I’m so excited and want to talk about
Can we do that ?
The River Thanes doesn't just run through the Central London scene that is familiar to most tourists.
It could be that he will prove otherwise, but Brand strikes me as a genuine person. Imperfect, but truly trying to do his best and seeking truth. If he says that he believes in Christ and is willing and wanting to submit himself to Jesus I am going to take him at his word.
Hallelujah yes it is definitely a supernatural experience I was baptized in cold water and I felt the warmth of the fire of the Holy Spirit upon me it is real if ur heart is truly in the right place to receive the water baptism 🔥🕊🙌🏻🙏🏻💯💫🌟👼😇❤️🔥
what a gift you've received Russell.... He chose you! Big Blessings to you.
I’m so happy for him. Please bless and keep him, Lord Jesus.
Russell said he feels, “…Held”.
That’s beautiful. “Come to Me all who are weary, & You WiLL Find REST for your souls”.
So excited for Russel and his journey. Man has a good head on his shoulders and I pray that God will keep, guide and continue to bless him and that he will be an even greater blessing unto others and bring glory unto God
Amen 🎊 I love seeing someone come to Christ!! They are celebrating in heaven as we should on earth! He’s our brother in Christ.
Pray for Russel!!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I feel over joyed!! Our brother now has eyes that see! A soul that lives, and The blissful essense of something divine!!!:his God given enthusiasm is refreshing, calming, and Makes the air rich in estatic love..
The river Thames moves far beyond Central London, it doesn't all look as grotty as the water by the Houses of Parliament lol. That being said it's probably not the cleanest of rivers
Do you understand what baptism is? The sacrament requires water and the words: " I baptise you (name) in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." The sacrament is a visible sign of invisible grace. The correct visible sign will allow God's inward grace to change the soul, from an absence of spirit to having the Holy Spirit dwelling in the soul. So provided the right materials are used, it is a valid sacrament, and is supernatural. So why the skepticism regarding Russel Brand's baptism?
Pray for Russell. Hes a new Christian as all Christians have been once.
My baptism was ages ago but I remember getting submerged in the water and there was no time. I saw a beautiful landscape and felt like I was there for eternity. It’s hard to explain. I asked how long I was under the water and it had only been a sec or two. Amazing.
I hope it's real but regardless celebrities are influential and this will lead to many considering Christ so let's celebrate that!
He is going to be a powerful prophet...and im here for it JESUS U R SOOO GOOD WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVEEE 🌸🩷🪷
I'm wondering if God is raising up modern day prophets through these celebrities. It is time for the spiritual healing of the nation and globe.
The time of the prophets are over
@@lindamolitor9884 please, for the love of God, put down your crack pipe
Russell helped me through lockdown. I'm so glad to hear he has found his truth ❤❤❤
the most important thing we can do is pray for him.
Russell you are loved so much by Jesus Christ. Welcome to the family xx
Return to spirituality is absolutely what the world needs in 2024. Christianity is not required but if it helps then by all means go in that direction.
This shows that if you seek the truth about what salvation is, Jesus will reveal Himself to you. I was so lost & hurting when I heard the gospel. I repented of my sins, asked Him to forgive me & He did. I felt the weight lifted & I couldn’t describe the joy I had. Two years later, I got baptized in a hot tub & both my brother & sister came. Later, both got saved & still serve their Lord. God hears our sincere prayers
All good comes from God. The atheist who loves his children - that love is from God. I wonder if hell is where you are just you and you have no access anymore to the goodness of God?
Miracles happening in Jesus name. Be blessed Russell
This is awesome I’ll pray for this man
Great video bro. Pasing is brilliant. God bless you
Praise God. Period
Could never finish watching any Russel Brand videos in the past. Third video I watched to end and he is a new creation.
Great video Ruslan, keep em coming brother. Hallelujah for Russell Brand, May God help him to be discipled by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit and a good solid pastor and good solid church. I was praying for him before his salvation. He always just seemed like a genuine seeker of truth. May God bless Him and keep him and his family.
Congratulations Russell, don't let haters worry you. They may find themselves out in the heat,lol....their self-righteous opinions mean nothing. God Bless you and welcome to the family.
We have to be pure with our faith. Learn how to pray Mr. Brand is an intelligent man. I just pray that he stays with Christ. Congratulations Brotha.
Ruslan can you PLEASE PLEASE make a video about the episode of the Flagrant podcast with Billy Carson! I watched it & now I'm so screwed up! Everything I've ever believed flew out the window! PLEASE help! 🙏🙏🙏
Much love and many prayers to you as you live for Christ.❤️🙏🏻
Ok, Ruslan...could you clarify what you mean by what is/is not our business as believers? I am a bit confused. It is our business to help new Christians to grow in Christ. It is our business to convince, rebuke, exhort as in 2 Timothy 4::2
I think Russell has finally after a lifetime of searching, found himself on the narrow road. Will he stay on it and grow in Christ? Let’s pray he does.
God bless you Russel
God bless you Russel 🙏
The river Thames is a very long river. He lives a long way from the centre of London (which is what you were showing in the video) so the water will be cleaner out there.
we can find truths in other religions or belief systems, doesn't mean you completely agree with the belief system ..... its like you can agree with something somebody says without agreeing with every single thought they they ever have or utter.
In some parts of Asia there is a worldview that holds all religions as valuable. So one can believe in Buddhism, ancestral spirits, and nature spirits all at the same time. One of the challenges Christianity has faced is that people will happily believe in Jesus, but just slot Him into their existing belief structure. I'm hearing a bit of that in what Russell Brand is saying.
Matthew 7:21-23 is so scary.
The Lord turned that water pure for Him. Come on now y’all you know the Lord delivers His promises. In Jesus name.
“That is trip-ehh “💅 lol
I’ve watched Russell Brand for years. I see the light of the Holy Spirit and the peace and joy in his eyes now! He has a calmer precious energy too.
What?!!!!! Russel Brand is a Christian now? Unbelievable
