Baptized With The Holy Spirit And Fire

 

"I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." Matthew 3:11

The beginning of a new and living way had begun with the advent of Jesus, the Son of the living God stepping out on to His mission field to make disciples and to build His church of living stones. The old way was to be done away with and new wine was about to be poured out into a totally new wineskin. No more temple, ritual or dead man-made religion, the Holy Spirit was going to reside from now on in the hearts of men who are washed with the Savior's own blood and purified with the very fire of Heaven!
His kingdom had come and His will was being done on earth as it was in Heaven. 

God came down clothed in flesh to cleanse mankind from the generational curse of Adam with His own blood to set the captives free once and for all from the bondage of sin! The world was turned upside down and the entire religious landscape would change from a dry and lifeless ritual to a vibrant living breathing temple of human beings filled with the Spirit of God! 

 Unbelievable to many, impossible to the established religious leaders, but life changing to the poor and needy of the world, a Savior had come from Heaven to set them free, deliver and heal them, and even raise their dead!
 
I don't think we can grasp the full understanding of what Jesus did when He came to earth as a God-King to rule the world because we are so infected with religion and sometimes I think people believe this old, old story is just a fable or a fairy tale for children because if we really believed that Jesus died, was buried and rose again to give us life eternal we would act like Him! 

The assembly of the saints of God are now the same as their Lord, they have been resurrected from their fleshly graves, delivered by the power of God, washed in His blood and empowered with His Spirit to do the greater works that will continue His kingdom on earth until He returns!

The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death, Light has dawned. Matthew 4:16

THE TEMPLE OF GOD IS NO LONGER A PLACE 

"Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down." Matthew 24:2

When Jesus was dying on the cross, the angels of God tore the veil of separation in two in the Jewish temple to signify that man no longer needed a fleshly priest to go before the Most High. 
 
The old priesthood, Religiosity was done away with, man was free to go before the throne of God by grace alone.  Jesus came so that the whole religious system that was killing the Souls of men could be torn down.  

"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like white sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Matthew 23:27


Man was the new temple made of flesh and blood and the Spirit of God would dwell in them, building a house with living breathing organic material that would ultimately become His body. 

A spiritual man was created by the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. When JESUS CHRIST arose from the dead, HE became the Head and we became His body in the earth, an exact replica of Him, empowered with His Spirit and commissioned to do the greater works that He said we would do. 
 
Unfortunately, what the Church body is today is a cheap imitation, demonically inspired to seduce man back under the bondage of the old priesthood, complete with temple, priest, (Senior Pastor) and rules, regulations and laws. 

This is why the modern day consumer driven, event-motivated, pastor ruled churches are dead and lifeless, because Jesus destroyed this system 2000 years ago!
 
The most powerful assembly of believers that ever lived upon the earth, filled with the Spirit of the living God and free from the bondage of religion, turned the world upside down, seeing hundreds of thousands saved and delivered without the aid of Church leaders, Televangelists, Women Priests, Gay Bishops, Lesbian Decon, pews, buildings, etc.   
 
 There are no Cathedrals to see, no monuments to men or ancient artifacts to be amazed by, just the TRUE story of GOD coming down from Heaven into a Human body to show US the way home.  The Apostles changed the world by laying on of hands and giving the living Spirit of GOD to those who would believe.  
WAKE UP!!!



"Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your spirit, which are God's. I Corinthians 6:19,20


ASK !!!
  "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8


Jesus built a building of men and women who are sold out, blood bought and filled with Holy Ghost power. These Believers were  sent to give unmatchable testimony of GOD'S resurrection power.  They were sent to LIVE and preach the gospel through out the whole world.  
 

The kingdom of God is not static, it is a living breathing organic vineyard that cannot be contained, boxed in or potted. JESUS CHRIST'S ministry is alive and well today. We are HIS living stones. We must wake up, throw off the shackles of demonic oppression because Billions sit in darkness in man-made temples of wood, hay and stubble, rotting away practicing lifeless rituals. They have good intentions, but the road to HELL is paved with good intentions.  

The time is NOW! Wake up before it is too late and you are found unworthy to enter into an eternal rest with the living GOD. 
Lord I pray right now for all who read this and I ask you LORD to set fire to their lives, leave them no rest, let nothing of the world be left in them. Give them eyes to see and ears to hear that JESUS CHRIST came to Save the world not condemn it.
