“When He was been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Mathew 3:16
“Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Romans 6:2
Water baptism is for identification with Christ.
God does not change your position because of your condition!
Conditionally - son of carpenter (Mt.13:55), positionally - son of God (Mt.16:16)
Born as son of God but live as son of carpenter!
When a man brought a lamb to the priest for sacrifice, the priest did not look at the man, but the lamb. If the lamb was accepted so was the man. (Exodus 12:5)
You are fake in your righteousness, so was Jesus in my sin on the cross! (2 Cor.5:21)
The Holy Spirit will relate to you based on your position!
You can’t wait for your condition to change to start relationship with the Holy Spirit
“This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?” Gal.3:2, 5
Only the Holy Spirit changes the reality to match the revelation. (Gen.1:1-3)
Devil will use what is true to attack the truth
When problems contradicts promise, take side with Gods word. (Mt.4:4)
It feels like apple on the PC but in spiritual world (reality is the thorn, rock and bird) while the word is the seed (Mt.13)
Devil uses our temporary current situation to make us believe that is how it will always be.
We will become all God says we are but it’s not limited to this earth!
Even if your condition changes, its still temporarily!
“Women received their dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. Still others had trial of mocking and scourging, yes, and of chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented- of whom the world was not worthy, They wondered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth. And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise.” Hebrews 11:35-39
“If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men are most pitiable” 1 Corinthians 15:19
“Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is reveled, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.” 1 John 3:2
“…come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!” Luke 27:40
it’s sad when people view as everything works out like we wish as a sign that you are truly who God says you are!
There is more to life than this!
The earth will not recognize fullness of heaven’s deposit!
