BAPTISM
IN THE WATER
All
life with God is by faith. Without faith you can not please
God, but by faith you can receive any solution, help and blessings
from God. In order to make your walk stable and strong before
God and men you need to make clear decisions. You can not expect
to receive blessings from God while you live in compromises
following the life style of this world. Straighten yourself
up and plug in the heavenly life in the power and glory of
the Holy Spirit! If you mean business with God you will start
to obey Him. Then you will yield yourself to obey the teaching
and directions of the word of God. You will let the Holy Spirit
lead you and God will release His life and blessing upon you.
Acts
2:38-39: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission
of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For
the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that
are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.
The
most important decision after receiving Jesus is to get baptized
in the water. This will be the manifestation of your inner
faith in God and in His word. It is inevitable evidence for
the powers of darkness that now you have renounced from the
control of sin, death and demons and you have devoted your
life to God. After getting baptized in water you can trust
that the work of the Holy Spirit will deliver you from all
bondages of darkness in your spirit, soul and body. The power
of God will take you into new dimension of faith, peace, joy
and freedom.
Rom.
6:3-5: Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into
Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are
buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ
was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even
so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been
planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be
also in the likeness of his resurrection:
The
original Greek word for 'baptize' means to 'immerse', 'dip',
even repeatedly. It is an act of faith where you trust in the
operation and work of the Holy Spirit in you. Let the Holy
Spirit touch you deeper and destroy the sin in your flesh and
mind. His fire will cleanse you and change you. Then you will
rise up as a new creature in the resurrection power of Jesus
Christ.
Col.
2:10-15: And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all
principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with
the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body
of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried
with him in baptism, wherein ALSO YE ARE RISEN WITH HIM THROUGH
THE FAITH OF THE OPERATION OF GOD, who hath raised him from
the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision
of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having
forgiven you all trespasses; plotting out the handwriting of
ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and
took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having
spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly,
triumphing over them in it.
In
water baptism your sinful character and flesh will be buried
in the death of Jesus Christ. By faith you will rise up into
new resurrection life together with Jesus. When you believe
this, and therefore take the water baptism, Holy Spirit will
work it out in you, THROUGH YOUR FAITH IN THE OPERATION OF
GOD! This work of God in you will be supernatural and you will
never understand it by your human understanding. It will be
done only by faith which has become alive through your respective
actions of obedience.
From
the mission fields there are many, many witnesses about the
powerful operation of the Holy Spirit in connection of the
water baptism. Many people have been delivered from sicknesses,
diseases and demonic forces immediately when they have stepped
into the water in order to take the baptism. The occult curses
have been broken and people have been immediately filled over
flowingly with the Holy Spirit. In many cases the teachers
of false doctrines try to get young Christians to turn back
into the old practice. But as soon as these Christians have
been baptized in water these tempters understand that they
have lost the control over these Christians. Think about this
and make up your mind quickly!
When
you have received Jesus and been baptized in water you can
receive the full and complete gift of the Holy Spirit. It belongs
to you and you will get it! Continue your walk with God by
studying "How to receive the baptism
in the Holy Spirit?". God bless you!
