The Letter I Wrote To Jesus Before My Baptism

from Redeeming Love Podcast · host Matthew Richardson

In this episode, I share a very personal letter that I wrote to Jesus Christ just before getting baptized to rededicate my life to Him.For years, I believed the lie that pleasure, money, status, and image would bring true fulfillment. At 22 years old, I was making $500,000, leading a team of 60 sales reps, and living a wild lifestyle—yet I was spiritually dead, empty, and hating my life. Worldly pleasure didn't bring me joy; it led me straight to the gates of hell.Ten months ago, I was at rock bottom, addicted to lust and pornography, having tried every recovery group and white-knuckling technique without success. But when I put the promise of Galatians 5:16 to the test and chose to walk in the Spirit daily through scripture, fasting, and fervent prayer, God completely purged the demon of lust from my mind and replaced my heart of stone with a heart of flesh.In this video, I read the exact letter I wrote to my Savior for my baptism, declaring the burial of my old wicked self and my new identity as a warrior for His kingdom. I also break down the promise from the Gospel of Mark: why any sacrifice you make to follow Jesus Christ will be paid back to you 100-fold in true peace, purpose, and spiritual abundance.What you’ll hear:The true ordinance of baptism: Burying the old self and being reborn in Christ.Reading my personal baptism letter written directly to Jesus.How putting God's word to the test purged a deep-seated addiction in 4 to 6 months.Trading strip clubs and hookups for late-night prayers with God.Why making $500k at 22 years old still left me empty and dead inside.The 100-fold promise: Why surrendering everything to Christ is worth every sacrifice.If this message spoke to your heart, consider this channel a safe haven for your journey. We are here to bring you the hope, restoration, and real-life tools found only in Jesus Christ.
