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 & with fire. (Mathew 3:11). Water baptism is for repentance. This water SYMBOLIZES baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into Heaven & is at God's right hand - with angels, authorities & powers in submission to Him. (1 Peter 3:21-22). Water baptism symbolizes a pledge of a good conscience toward God. You identify with the death & resurrection of Jesus Christ. As your body gets into the water once & not three times, you will be identifying with the death of Jesus Christ. When it is raised out of the water, you will be identifying with His resurrection. Jesus died once & not three times, so do not symbolize His death by getting the body into the water three times. Because we are in different worlds, others may not understand what i mean by saying three times. We baptize in the name of the Father, & of the Son, & of the Holy Spirit. Some say: In the name of the Father, then get the body into the water, of the Son, then get the body into the water, & of the Holy Spirit, then get the body into the water. This is not consistent with the Scriptures because Jesus died once & not three times. How do you do it then? You say: In the name of the Father, & of the Son & of the Holy Spirit, then get the body down into the water once. I trust the Lord that i have brought clarity & balance on this subject matter. Let us proceed to the fire of the Holy Spirit. Yes, we know that God is love. Let me bring His other nature which is not being talked  about. He is a CONSUMING FIRE. Hebrews 12:29 says: For our God is a consuming fire. John says: I baptize you with water, 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 & with fire. Yesterday we discussed the ministry of the Holy Spirit, i will not dwell on it today. Today i will talk about the fire of the Holy Spirit. Churches today talks about the Holy Spirit & not about the fire of the Holy Spirit. When you are baptized with the fire of the Holy Spirit, you are set on FIRE for Jesus. You can't sit, you just want to spread the Gospel. You just want to make the Word of God VIRAL. Every soul becomes precious to you.Your priority changes to soul winning. Let me use myself as an example. The Lord has set me on fire for Jesus. I cannot sit back & watch while people die in their sins & go to hell. I have a BURDENED heart for the lost. I want to win them over to the Lord. Days are going, people are dying. So I do prioritize soul winning & discipleship in my life & ministry. Everyday I post inspirational messages on Twitter, Facebook, Whats app, Linked in, my blogspot in a bid to reach out to one or two, so that I can touch their hearts with the Word of God & help change their lives before Christ returns. They won't be repentance for us Gentiles after Christ has come. Thus, the need to help save some NOW. I have been posting these messages daily since February 2012. I am still on fire for Jesus. Everyday i write a new message. I do not forward what others have written or edit it, i receive a FRESH message from the Holy Spirit  DAILY. I will continue to do that until i breathe my last or until Jesus comes, whichever comes first. When Jesus came the first time, He came to deal with SIN. This time He is coming to deal with the SINNER. It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the Lord. When Jesus comes, He will look for FAITH on earth. This is the OPPORTUNITY that I have to help save some from going to hell. I can't rest until I fulfill my assignment - to win souls for God while He may be found. Why? The Bible says: A time is coming when God will send a famine through the land - not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine for hearing the words of the Lord. Men will stagger from sea to sea & wander from north to east, searching for the Word of the Lord, but they will not find it. (Amos 8:11-12). These verses suggest that at that time, the churches that we go to, to hear the Word of God will no longer be there. Why do i think this way? Because people will search for the Word but they will not find it. Be warned. Put your life right with God today, for you do not know the day or the time that we will pass on or when these things will happen.  As you have been saved, do not sit back & relax, help others to get saved, healed, delivered & blessed as we are. I end here. Prayer: Father, we appreciate You. You have saved us, give us the grace to help save others. Partner with us in this stewardship. Help us not to leave people at CONVERT level, but to disciple them, to invest our lives into their lives, to grow them into Your Word. Thank you Jesus for hearing & answering my prayer.  Put your angels to action, they know the assignment. In Jesus mighty name we pray & believe, Amen. Good morning Holy Spirit. Heaven Rules.
