Christ: The Baptizer In The Holy Spirit

John the Baptist, the man sent by God to announce to Israel

The coming of the Messiah, said the following concerning Christ Jesus:

'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.

His winnowing fork is in His hand,

And He will clear His threshing floor,

Gathering the wheat into His barn

And burning up the chaff with unquenchable FIRE. (Matthew 3:11-12)

The thongs of Whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.

I baptize you with water,

But He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit . (Mark 1:7-8)

I baptize you with water.

But One more powerful than I will come,

The thongs of Whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.

He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with FIRE.

His winnowing fork in in His hand to clear His threshing floor

And to gather the wheat into His barn,

But He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable FIRE.' (Luke 3:16-17)

Now this was John's [the Baptist] testimony

When the Jews of Jerusalem sent priest and Levites to ask him who he was.

He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, 'I am not the Christ.'

They asked him, 'Then who are you? Are you Elijah?' He said, 'I am not.'

'Are you the Prophet?' He answered, 'No.'

Finally they said, 'Who are you?

Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us.

What do you say about yourself?'

John replied in the words of Isaiah the Prophet,

'I am the voice of one calling in the desert,

'Make Straight The Way Of The Lord.'

Now some Pharisees who had been sent questioned him

'Why then do you baptize

If you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?'

'I baptize with water,' John replied,

'But among you stands One you do not know.

He is the One Who comes after me,

The thongs of Whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.'

This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan,

Where John was baptizing.

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said,

'Look the Lamb of God, Who take away the SIN of the world!

This is the One I meant when I said,

'A man Who comes after me has surpassed me

Because He was before me.'

I myself did not know Him,

But the reason I came baptizing with water

Was that He might be REVEALED to Israel.'

Then John gave this testimony:

'I saw the Spirit come down from Heaven as a dove and remain on Him.

I would not have know Him,

Except that the One who sent me to baptize with water told me,

'The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain

Is He Who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.'

I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of God.' (John 1:19-34)

Christ Jesus, the Messiah, The Anointed One, God in flesh:

The Image of the Invisible God, the Firstborn over ALL creation.

For by Him ALL things were created:

Things in Heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,

Whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;

ALL things were created by Him and for Him.

He is before ALL things, and IN Him ALL things hold together.

And He is the Head of The Body, The Church;

He is the Beginning and the Firstborn from among the dead,

So that in EVERYTHING He might have the SUPREMACY.

For God was pleased to have ALL His Fullness dwell in Him,

And through Him to reconcile to Himself ALL things,

Whether things on earth or things in Heaven,

By making Peace through His Blood, shed on the Cross. (Colossians 1:15-20)

Christ Jesus, the Son of the Living God

Is the Baptizer in the Holy Spirit.

Peter said of Christ Jesus on The Day of Pentecost:

'Exalted to the right hand of God,

He [Christ Jesus] has received from the Father the PROMISED Holy Spirit

And has POURED OUT what you now see and hear.' (Acts 2:33)

'Therefore let all Israel [and the entire world] be assured of this:

God has made this Jesus, Whom you Crucified, both Lord and Christ.'

When the people heard this, they were CUT TO THE HEART

And said to Peter and the other apostles,

'Brothers, what shall we do?'

Peter replied, 'REPENT and be baptized, every one of you,

In the name of Jesus Christ so that your SINS may be FORGIVEN.

And you will receive The Gift Of The Holy Spirit.

The PROMISE is for you and your children

And for ALL the Lord our God will call.' (Acts 2:36-39)

Have you received your personal Day of Pentecost?

Have you asked Christ Jesus to Baptize you in the Holy Spirit and with FIRE?

If you do, you will experience the same phenomena 

That the 120 did as recorded in Acts 2:1-4.

Christ Jesus gave His disciples this COMMAND:

'Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the GIFT My Father PROMISED,

Which you have heard Me speak about.

For John baptized with water,

But in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:4-5)

I pray that ALL who read this message

Have responded to the COMMAND of Christ Jesus

And are Baptized in the Holy Spirit and with FIRE.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
