Why are we Christians lolling around passively in our own little comfort zones, tuning out the Holy Spirit, neglecting the place of prayer and the Word of God? Why are we ignoring God's promptings to reach out to the lost and needy? Why do we compromise and backslide? What are we doing?

Baptism is not a symbolic act but it is a prophetic act. Prophetic acts like prophetic declarations release God's power to bring about change in our lives. In the case of baptism, being submerged under water is the act of dying with Christ to the world but being pulled up out of the water is equally as important as it brings power to live the ascended life in Christ!

"Therefore, we have been buried with Him through baptism into death…so we too might walk in newness of life…that our old self was crucified with Him…Even so consider yourself to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. (Romans 6:4-11)

We entered the baptismal tank with a cross and we exited with a crown! Sinning is replaced with a passion to help others with their spiritual lives and commune with the Holy Spirit as we go throughout the day for guidance on understanding and implementing our Christ calling.

Affirmations:

Since Christ is in me, my potential is everything that is in Christ.

I'm not going to let trees and rocks glorify Him if I can glorify Him.
