3 Baptisms

On Thursday morning during a women’s bible study I lead, we were in Acts 19 and the question was posed in the text, what baptism did you receive? The response in scripture is, the baptism of John. The conversation continues and says, John baptized with water for repentance, then they proceeded to baptism them in the Holy Spirit and they spoke in tongues.

These verses led to a discussion about the three baptisms noted in Matthew 3:11 John says, “As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” Three baptisms, water, Holy Spirit (wind) and fire.

This weekend at our Forge event, the Lord spoke to me through Zechariah 13, where it speaks of a fountain opening up for the house of David, a removing of the false prophets and unclean spirits (wind) and refining like silver and testing like gold (fire).

Now yesterday in our home church group, worship took us into the presence of God like we had not experienced before in that room, and I had a vision of water up to our waste and angels rushing over our head (wind), so I asked the Lord where is the fire and one woman said, I can sense the fire of God blazing inside of me. Water, wind, fire. Four days in a row.

Friends, I believe we are seeing a convergence of the three baptisms as noted in Matthew 3:11, water, wind and fire. Water people are converging with wind people and both are converging with fire people. Water for repentance, wind for spirit filled living and fire for refining, forging. The Lord is bring together a water, wind and fire baptized people. All three happening simultaneously.

This is the order of the spirit of God for His house, we must be immersed in water for repentance, wind for an infilling and fire for forging. Water, wind and fire, here we go. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
