Fullness

🙌🏻 Fullness 🙌🏻
By Elevation Worship

What a wonderful Sunday, thank you Jesus for honoring us with Your Presence as we gathered together in Your name. It’s so comforting to know that no matter how I feel, whether ill or well, when His people gather together He is in the midst and I can enjoy His Presence, and I did.

Wow, we’re having another baptism on Wednesday and the weather will be great. I’m so excited, I’m gong to have a hard time sleeping Tuesday evening…

God is always in a Good Mood and He rejoices at every Baptism. Baptism is our statement that we are dying to our old life and living our new life unto Him. Jesus was baptized so we obviously need to be!

When I was baptized it was wonderful. I came up out of the waters of Baptism a new person, clean on the inside! For the first time in my life I was at Peace. Every evil and wicked thing I had ever done was left in those waters.

About 3 months later some friends that I served in the military with came to a Sunday Evening Evangelistic service. (That’s what most Sunday evening church meetings were called down south when I lived there.) They were touched by the Holy Spirit of God and responded to an altar call; were Born Again and joyously filled with the Holy Spirit. They worshipped and praised God in English and in their new heavenly language. And then they wanted to be Baptized. 

That’s when the problems began. You see, they were African Americans. Being a naive country boy I didn’t have a clue what that meant down south. And I had never noticed there were no blacks in the meeting. Why would I notice something like that back then? I grew up in Vermont never seeing any black folks anywhere so I thought nothing of it. They were just people like me.

No one would Baptize them! I was dumbfounded (remember I’m a naive country boy) and couldn’t understand what the problem was. And then I was told…

I refused to leave the building until they were Baptized. Finally, at 11:30pm that Sunday evening the head Deacon came back to the church building and Baptized these new believers. A week or so later this church announced that they were starting a mission downtown.

In spite of their cultural racism God has used that church to save tens of thousands of people. And because it’s near a military base they have sent ‘missionaries’ around the world.

We need to raise up a standard of Righteousness wherever the Lord sends us. I did that that day not even knowing how important what I was doing was. I was just following the Holy Spirit knowing inside that I needed to stand firm—God had created my friends!

This church is now fully integrated and it began with this one Baptism.

I love Baptisms!

1 Peter 3:18-22
18. For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; 
19. in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, 
20. who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. 
21. Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 
22. who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.

Tongues of fire, testifying of the Son
One desire, Spirit come, Spirit come
Speak revival, prophesy like it is done
One desire, Spirit come, Spirit com

I Raise a Hallelujah
Heaven comes to fight for me!
