So johns the baptist ministry consisted of him baptizing ppl in the Jordan river. Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration and union with Christ, one of two sacraments ordained by Christ to be practiced in the church until he returns. The other sacrament is communion. Baptism is when a person is submerged into the water which symbolizes the death, burial and ressurrection of Jesus Chirst. It is important as a beliver to partake in such a tradition because it proves our surrendace and beleif in Chirst. Baptism should not in no way substitute salvation, they should both be done in a believers life. Baptism is a sysmbolic way to commune with Chirst and Salvation is a literal way to commune with Chirst.

Matthew 3:11 “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:”
Matthew 3:11 “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:”
These are the words of John the Baptist speaking to those who were there to be baptised as well as the Pharisees and Sadducees encouraging them to repent. Johns baptism’s were bound to repentance, John message was a message to all to repent because the kingdom of God is at hand. Is it very important for us to acknowledge the importance of repenting. To repent is to turn away from your sins and to do them no more. This was Johns message and he did not detour from the message. Before Jesus began his ministry he was baptized first. This is an important part to understand becasue Jesus is the son of God, Why is John the Baptist baptizing the son of God? we must not forget that Jesus was born of a woman and if he was born of a woman than he was born into sin, if he was born into sin than he also must repent and Johns minstry was the ministry of baptism unto repentance. After Jesus was Baptized

John said, I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. The word unto in this pharse means until or to. John baptized ppl until they repent, then he said but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: Although John was called, had influence and followers he never took his eyes off the assignment. Unlike ppl nowadays they get alittle power, ppl like what they say or how they teach or preach and they forget the assignment and who sent them on it. Never forget that God is in control and everything that you do or is allowed to do is because of him. and John never forgot that he was just a piece in a much larger puzzle. John understood his assignment and the assignment of Jesus so he did his part. Only if the men and woman of God could just do their part. If ppl could ever learn to be content with the assignment that GOd has them on. The assignment that God has called you to do is only for you. He has called you for it, he has equipped you for it and he has prepared you for it. Only if we could recognize that your assignment may not be as prestigious as other assignments but just know that that assignment is just for you and all God need you to do is do your part. John understood that he had apart to play and after him there was someone whos shoes he was not able to fill.

He later told them that this person that is coming is going to baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire. Many preachers and teachers have steered away from encouraging the ppl to desire being filled with the Holy Ghost. Its becasue of the spirit of Witchcraft in the church. Where the preacher no longer encourages you to lean on God they want you to lean on them so they can control and mulipulate you. They want to make you feel as tho their the reason why you have what you have and it wasnt becasuse of God. They try and create this false narrative about them selves and sell it to you so you can trust them and not GOD. Jesus introducing the holy ghost is not important to most churches nowadays becasuse it encourages us to be lead by the spirit of God. Being filled with the holy Ghost is the best thing that could ever happen to the believer. THe holy ghost leads you into all truths, the holy ghost leads you into all righteousness, the holy ghost comforts you in your times of need, the holy ghost brings things to your remeberance. Having the Holy ghost weakens the power of darkness and allow you to live a GOd lead life. The holy ghost transforms people to share His moral character and empowers them to fulfill His purposes. This is a major problem when theres ppl who want you to fill empowered becuase of them to carry out their agenda. Being filled with the Holy Ghost will prevent you from desiring to carrying out the plan of the enemy. Being filled with the Holy ghost will empower you to serve God, Being filled with the Holy Ghost will help you stay on assignment.
