00:00Peter, the apostle, Peter said, repent, a new concept for American Christians.

00:11Repent of your sins.

00:12Keep your heart pure.

00:13Be quick and zealous to repent.

00:15Ask God to forgive you.

00:16It's as simple as that.

00:17The more you repent, cleanse yourself of sin and weights that hold you down, the more free

00:21you can be to flow and live in the Spirit of God.

00:25Repent and be baptized, Acts 2, verse 38.

00:28Even Jesus was baptized, and it's He that baptizes us in the Holy Ghost, Luke 3, verse

00:3416.

00:35Yet He had John, John baptized Jesus, and He said, Suffer it, be so, to fulfill righteousness.

00:44So if we are walking in the footsteps of Jesus, we also should follow with water baptism.

00:49I'm not talking about baptizing babies involuntarily, but we voluntarily, Romans chapter 6, going

00:55down into the waters of baptism with Christ, dying to our old man, and living thereafter

01:00in the new man, in the Spirit, in Christ Jesus, after having been cleansed by His blood, after

01:06we repent of our sins.

01:07So back to Acts 2, verse 38.

01:09Peter said, the apostle, repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ,

01:15for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, for the promise

01:20is to you and your children and to all that are far off, as many as the Lord our God shall

01:26call.

01:27So yes, children can be baptized, they can choose to surrender and give their life to

01:30Christ, they can choose to go forth and be born again of the Spirit, and live in the

01:35Spirit, and be filled with the Holy Ghost, and pray in tongues, and live in the gifts

01:38of the Spirit, and operate and flow in spiritual gifts, and manifest the fruit and the character

01:43of the Spirit as well.

01:45But babies, they don't really have the wherewithal, the understanding, they're not of a proper

01:50age to surrender and give their life to Christ.

01:53We can dedicate and pray over them, to give our children to the Lord, our newborns, and

01:59our toddlers, until they come to understanding, and we teach them in the ways and the knowledge

02:04of God.

02:05But first, we, adults, we need to be those who are quick to repent.

02:12Hebrews 6, verse 1 and 2, states that repentance, and the baptisms, plural, that's an elementary

02:22foundation, elementary school, spiritually speaking, in Christ, to repent of our sins,

02:27to have faith in God, be born of the Holy Ghost, that's a born of the Spirit, John chapter

02:333, and then praying in tongues when the Holy Ghost fills us, Acts chapter 10, as it was

02:37in verse 44, when Peter preached and the Holy Ghost fell on all those who heard the word,

02:41and they spoke in tongues and glorified God.

02:43So there's more than one baptism, there's baptism into the waters of baptism, speaking

02:48of the death of Christ, and there's a baptism in the fire of the Holy Ghost, Luke 3, verse

02:5216.

02:53So, baptism in the Spirit is where we should be living, as all we're doing, in Acts, the

03:00book of Acts, Acts of the Holy Spirit, so the Holy Spirit likes to give us revelation,

03:05and the Holy Spirit likes to give us divine manifestation.

03:08So we need both, and the more we know God's word and yield to His Spirit and follow and

03:13lay a strong foundation first in repentance from dead works, and then baptisms for the

03:17remission of sins, faith in God, living by faith, not by sight, we can go on into the

03:23fullness of the blessing of Christ.

03:25So repent and be baptized, that's the first thing Jesus and John the Baptist went preaching

03:31and stating and telling people to do, repent, the kingdom of heaven is at hand, repent and

03:35be baptized.

03:37I think we can repent on a daily basis, because we all sin and thought, word and deed, things

03:41done and left undone, so don't be too arrogant or high-minded that you don't think you have

03:46need of repentance, we all do.

03:47We get foul thoughts and wicked ideas or things like birds that fly over our head, they may

03:54not take internal dwelling and residence in us, thank God, we can reject them and cast

03:59them down, but merely having the thought is close enough to sin in and of itself that

04:04it's worth repenting of to make sure that it doesn't pollute us and take residency

04:09in us and diminish and dwarf our potential and our spiritual life within, which is why

04:16God says in the Bible, in Proverbs chapter four, guard your heart, it's the wellspring

04:20of life.

04:21So Hebrews 12, our God's a consuming fire, he wants to consume the chaff, he wants to

04:25consume the sin in our life, but he's a gentleman.

04:28He won't do so and enter into your heart, into your life, your soul, without your permission.

04:33So ask and invite Jesus to come in to heal you, to cleanse you, to forgive you, cleanse

04:38and burn away the sin in you by the fire and the waters of the spirit of God and the word

04:43of God, and ask him to come and clean your heart and give you a new conscience, a right

04:48spirit and make you whole and one with Christ and help you to abide in the life in Christ

04:53Jesus and live in the spirit and the purity of God.

04:57Ask God for that help, I do, I just did right there, so be it for me, Father God, I own

05:01that prayer, I take it and possess it myself and for whosoever will, whosoever's listening

05:06to me and agrees and wants it, I say yes and amen for them too, and God bless you.
