John 1:33 NKJV
“I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’”
John 1:33 NKJV
Jesus is the first man after Adam and Eve on earth that God the Holy Spirit came and remained in Him.
After Adam and Eve sinned against God, God’s Spirit left mankind because of sin, leaving mankind under the power and influence of satan.
When John the Baptist baptised Jesus, John saw that the Holy Spirit came and REMAINED on Jesus.
Jesus received the divine nature of God as man. Now Jesus as the son of MAN starts to operate as the son of God.
Jesus was stripped of His divinity as God and He took the form of a man so that He can have legal rights as citizens of the earth.
As an earthly man, Jesus received God’s divine power through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
All the miracles Jesus did start from the day He was baptised in the Holy Spirit. There were no miracles for thirty years until the day He was baptised in the Holy Spirit.
Jesus who now has a legal right as man over the earth defeated satan by not sinning and was punished for the things He did not do.
When Jesus died on that cross, the rights that satan took from Adam, Jesus took it back which now gives Him power over the earth.
We who are born again are born as a new creation in Christ that has power over the earth.
We who are in Christ are no longer bound by the influence and dominion of satan but now we rule and reign in Christ over this earth.
We are now sons of God. This means we are to rule and reign over the earth. Expanding the kingdom of God in everything we say and do.
When we are baptised in the Holy Spirit, God’s spirit dwells in us and remains in us.
This is the reason the Bible says that as Christ is, so are we in this world. We are to live life as sons of God.
We dominate every power of the enemy. The principalities and powers have to bow to the authority we have in Christ.
When we start to believe, think, and speak as what God has given, then we will start to claim grounds for our Lord Jesus Christ.
The children of God carry the answers and the solutions to problems in this world.
Let us move in the power of His Spirit as sons and daughters of the most high God, preaching the kingdom of God with signs and wonders.
Blessings
