Matthew 28:19 Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
When the Holy Spirit baptizes us in the name of the Father and the Son, it empowers and prepares us to be His messengers. We begin to understand and acknowledge God as our Father and Christ as our Lord and Savior. We become submissive to His Word, which is the essence of our discipline and developing Christ-like character.Lord, let Your Word baptize us in the Holy Spirit to help us become inward changed men and women. Father, thank You that Christ's faithfulness saves us, not our own. Lord, continue working in and through us to serve Your purpose. Lord, let the Holy Spirit fill our hearts and renew our faith and enkindle in us the fire of Your love. Thank You, Lord, for setting Your seal of ownership upon us and taking up residence in our hearts. Lord, strengthen our faith and empower our spiritual walk as Your Word gradually transforms us into the lovely likeness of our Lord. We pray that the Holy Spirit leads and guides us in all things and that we practice what we learned. So, we can learn to listen to the gentle promptings of Your voice as we study the Word. Give us the grace to recognize Your still, soft voice as we search through the scriptures each day and the wisdom to discern Your spiritual nudges that direct and guide us. In Jesus' name Amen
