Water and Spirit

“I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.” (Matthew 3:11) As we follow both the Old Testament story of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the New Testament story of Jesus as an infant, a young boy, and a man, we find that they are parallel stories. They…

the road was long and rocky, but mushrooms grew from my hand, and I have not forgotten you, for the shoots are sprouting now, and they bloom like flowers, and the spores will spread like the spirit that you have become, wherever I go, because the flower that you are is a fruiting body

The Mission of John the Baptist (Isaiah 40:1–5; Mark 1:1–8; Luke 3:1–20; John 1:19–28)

1 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea 2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.” 3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:

“A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”

4 John wore a garment of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. 5 People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region around the Jordan. 6 Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan.

7 But when John saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his place of baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance. 9 And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10 The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

11 I baptize you with waterd for repentance, but after me will come One more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit. 12 His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

The Baptism of Jesus (Mark 1:9–11; Luke 3:21–22; John 1:29–34)

13 At that time Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?”

15 “Let it be so now,” Jesus replied. “It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness in this way.” Then John permitted Him.

16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!” — Matthew 3 | Majority Standard Bible (MSB) The Majority Standard Bible is in the public domain.

However careless and indifferent the baptized may be in their subsequent life, this indwelling presence of the Spirit is never totally withdrawn. But unless we co-operate with God's grace -- unless, through the exercise of our free will, we struggle to perform the commandments -- it is likely that the Spirit's presence within us will remain hidden and unconscious. As pilgrims on the Way, then, it is our purpose to advance from the stage where the grace of the Spirit is present and active within us in a hidden way, to the point of conscious awareness, when we know the Spirit is present and active within us in a hidden way, to the point of conscious awareness, when we know the Spirit's power openly, directly, with the full perception of our heart. 'I am come to cast fire on the earth,' Christ said, 'and how I wish it were already kindled!' (Luke 12:49). The Pentecostal spark of the Spirit, existing in each one of us from Baptism, is to be kindled into a living flame. We are to become what we are.

Hidden Wisdom

“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” 1Corinthians 2:7-8KJV

Do we know that God has set in order for us to know things which satan has no idea about? Let me give you an example from David Herzog, pastor, missionary, evangelist from Arizona. Taken from a sermon, as he talked with a native pastor in an area of high persecution and death of Christians? — Herzog— How have you managed to survive without persecution and death in your churches. — Pastor— We pray in tongues to receive the secret wisdom of God of when and where to meet. Those persecuted churches meet at regular times and places. Holy Spirit shows us what to do as we pray in tongues.

A few years back, a group of Believers were killed for not renouncing Jesus. Another group of new Believers were told their children would all be killed in the morning if they didn’t renounce Christ. These new Believers didn’t even have a Bible to read. They asked God to protect them and their children. He sent angels to care for the entire situation. I can’t remember exactly, but I believe the intended murders left them alone.

Another local pastor sought God as to why the one group was murdered and the other group was safe. I will never forget Yahweh’s answer, (not word for word but close). ‘The group which died had My Word. My Words would’ve saved them. This other group were new Believers with no Holy Scriptures only faith in Me.’

One group lived because of faith in Yahweh. Another group lived because of faith in God’s gift of tongues. They trusted the mysteries of God, “hidden wisdom.”

My parents had gone to California to stay a few months with my brother. Dad fell and went to the hospital. He had congestive heart failure. Doctors didn’t know if he would live the night. Brother was scared. He called telling me to get out there asap to see him before he died. We didn’t have money for an emergency airline ticket unless I was positive I knew I had to go. I began to pray in tongues, seeking God’s wisdom for the situation. Three hours passed when a thought came into my mind— ‘where does your dad want to die?’ I responded, ‘at home.’ Another thought came into my mind— ‘I give My children the desires of their hearts.’ When I called my brother, he was incredulous. How could I be so sure? Dad didn’t die for another ten years. He didn’t die at his house but he died in his hometown.

What we’re entering into in this country will take the “hidden wisdom” of God to navigate. Yahweh Adonai wants to supply His children with this knowledge, but He has to circumvent satan out of the radar of knowing what is going on. Think it is not so? Remember— “had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory,” meaning the realms of satan’s rule were clueless to what God was up to through the crucifixion of Jesus.

Friend, if you’ve never sought the baptism of Holy Spirit before, listen to John Bevere’s five lessons on speaking in tongues on youtube. He can best instruct you as to how and why to receive. God’s gift is free for everyone who asks…. “If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” Luke 11:13ESV. It’s your choice. You choose.

LET’S PRAY: LORD God awaken Your children who have not received to the delights and wonders of having more of You through Holy Spirit indwelling them and empowering them, in the name of Jesus the Christ I pray.

It is the Holy Spirit Who is at Work in Every Prayer We Offer, by Elizabeth Wang

When the whole Church is consecrated in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and is in their possession indivisibly, what is to prevent [a] house of the Lord from being ascribed to the Father or to the Holy Spirit just as much as to the Son? [... And i]n fact it seems more fitting that a temple should be ascribed to the Holy Spirit than to any other member of the Trinity, if we pay careful attention to apostolic authority and the workings of the Holy Spirit Itself. To none of the three does the Apostle assign a special shrine except to the Holy Spirit, for he speaks neither of a shrine of the Father nor of the Son as he does of the Holy Spirit when he writes in the First Letter of the Corinthians: "But he who links himself with Christ is one with Him, spiritually" [6:17], and again, "Do you not know that your body is a shrine of the indwelling Holy Spirit, and the Spirit is God's gift to you? You belong not to yourselves" [6:19]. Everyone knows too that the divine benefits of the sacraments administered in the Church are ascribed particularly to the power of divine Grace, by which is meant the Holy Spirit. For by water and the Holy Spirit we are reborn in baptism, after which we first become a special temple for God; and in the sacrament of confirmation the sevenfold grace of the Holy Spirit is conferred on us whereby the temple of God is adorned and dedicated. Is it then surprising that we dedicate a material temple to the one to whom the Apostle has specially ascribed a spiritual one? To whom can a church be more fittingly consecrated than to the one to whose effective power all the benefits of the Church sacraments are particularly ascribed?

Peter Abelard (The History of My Calamities), trans. Betty Radice. Original Latin of the bolded emphases above shown below:

divinorum sacramenta beneficiorum que in Ecclesia fiunt operationi divine gratie, que Spiritus sanctus intelligitur [...] cuius persone rectius ecclesia esse dicitur, quam eius cuius operationi cuncta que in ecclesia ministrantur beneficia specialiter assignantur?
