Not Just Water Baptism, Believers Need The Baptism Of The Holy Spirit John Talked About

Mark 1:8 I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

From The Dakes Bible

Ten Proofs the Baptism Is For ALl

  • John predicted that Christ would baptize all people ( Mt. 3: 11; Jn. 1: 33).
  • Jesus promised it to everyone who would believe in Him ( Jn. 7: 37- 39).
  • Jesus promised the Spirit to all children of God who would ” ask Him” ( Lk. 11: 9- 13).
  • Jesus commanded all men to tarry ” until ye be endued with power from on high” ( Lk. 24: 49; Acts 1: 4- 8).
  • Jesus promised His power and anointing to every believer ( Acts 1: 4- 8 Jn. 14: 12; Mk. 16: 17- 18).
  • Peter promised it to all men ( Acts 2: 38- 39 5: 32).  Peter predicted that it would be given to all men in the last days ( Acts 2: 16- 21).
  • Jesus died that all men might have it ( Gal. 3: 13- 14).
  • The promised Spirit in Gal. 3: 14 is the same as in Jn. 7: 37- 39 14: 16- 17, 26 15: 26; 16: 13- 15 Acts 1: 4- 8 2: 38- 39).
  • The early church expected all believers to receive it and saw to it that they did get it ( Acts 8: 14- 18 9: 17; 19: 1- 6).
  • That all the above applies to Gentiles as well as to Jews is clear in Mt. 3: 11; Jn. 7: 37- 39 Acts 2: 16- 21, 38- 39 5: 32; 10: 44- 48 11: 14- 18 15: 7- 11 Gal. 3: 13- 14 Rom. 10: 12.

 

A woman’s advantage over a man

Matthew 27:19
While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.”

One thing I’ve learned from my wife is that women who love Jesus have a sense of perception that men of God many times just don’t have. A good wife is a good thing. Even women who don’t know Jesus have a sense of perception to some extent where they can look at someone and see whether someone is good or not.

Here Pilate was warned by his wife not to do anything again The Lord Jesus. He knew that the religious people had handed Jesus because of envy we read earlier in the passage.

Today we are reminded that we should recognize the gifting of women that no man can match. Praise God for women who love Jesus.

I thank God for my wonderful wife.

What I really Hate

Of course what I hate the most is the enemy deceiving people from fulfilling Gods plan for their lives.

Besides that I hate it when someone says we are baptized in the Holy Spirit when the confess and turn to Jesus. It’s just not true. People are missing the power of God if they are not prayed for and receiving the Baptism.
