Its good to know the difference between Water baptism and being baptized of the holy spirit. The water is a symbol of cleansing washing away sin and having a heart of repentance, and the holy spirit way is an empowerment. Receiving power from an endless supply of grace, love and purity. Its always good to be filled with the holy spirit. daily. Unfortunately most Christians aren't familiar with the expression that comes with being overwhelmed with the holy spirit and banishes it from their sight, or them selves. But YES... all the time we should be acquainted with the holy spirit. Our own choices that we choose to follow can alter whether or not the Holy spirit moves in us. But it lives in us all day. we just need to discern when it is us or the Holy Spirit. Simply asking God to fill us with his Holy Spirit can get us going. Also our own maturity in our own walk with God can also encourage it.

Well, as John wasn't a Jew, He performed a practice that was from the Judaism ritual, and the Pharisees didn't want to be baptized by a non jew cause of this fact. The people, Jews and non Jews came however to be baptized focusing on the one reason why they were being baptize.

They will soon realize that unforgiveness has repercussions. Whether it be guilt, shame, or through physical pain. Also it says in the bible that God won't forgive us if we do not choose to forgive our brother/sister. Avoiding repentance is just a way of avoiding the pain and hurt it involves revisiting. Depending on how long its been for the person, the situation and who it involves. It is sometimes hard for people to repent when people have to be vulnerable and throw down their pride and embrace humility in order to repent. Percentage????? I really don't think there is one. I can't judge that.

The emotion in this psalm is Joy.... Joy Joy Joy. When you have Joy in your heart, you praise God and lift him up high. Its when the tribulations and trials come that we should remain the same. Emotionally for myself, it makes me just simply love him more. Praise him more. Shout out to him more. The commands in this psalm is to praise God, and the reason for this is cause of God's consistent character. His faithfulness... etc.

When our heart is actually physically hurting and our body collapses due to our knowing of the wrong we have committed and knowing that God was there, the crying the yelling, the anger and forgiving, the many sorry we've said and the true heart to change. Thats being broken, When you are lying flat on the ground face planted on the carpet, with the ugly cry in place and a kleenex won't due. That's being broken... When you go in a parking lot and yell at the top of your lungs spitting and crying and not caring what the world might think of oyu. Cause if they only knew, then they would of joined in. Humility is the opposite of Pride. And when we brake that Prideness from us, humility sets in, and so does everything else. At a moment where you can be in visible position to everyone watching and you not caring, cause God is soooooo worth it all and good.

God wants all his children to come to him. To lean on him, to trust in him. He is jealous "FOR" us. not "OF" us but for us and he loves us so much that he gave his son to the cross to have those sins washed away freely from our part. And it is through Jesus risen body that we can have a relationship with God. We need to ask for forgiveness all the time cause we are made of flesh who wants to follow the world. We must die constantly to our flesh and let God take control of our lives. Not in a way where he is the boss... that's not the relationship he wants. But one that we can come to him for anything, to talk, to cry to, to hang with, to simply BE with... our Pardon of our whole being takes root to all this. When we give our wholeness to him, he makes us white like snow. When we offer our selves up to him, he carries us through everything. He rebuilds us in a way where not only our friends and family can't recognize us, but even ourselves. He will do that IF we ask him and allow him to go to the secret places of our hearts that we don't allow any one else in. Even though God knows whats in there, he still accepts us and loves us. Create in me a new heart lord, and renew a right spirit in me..... I will go where you go, say what you say, do what I see you do, and stand back when you want to fight in my stead. Lord I love you for your grace cause its enough for me...

David is simply recognizing that when he sins it doesn't only hurt the people on earth, but mostly God. God doesn't want us to sin and it hurts him to see us do this. But we are human, and not perfect and that's why God's love and compassion are good to know of cause through his grace and mercy can we be forgiven. As I have said before, we are human and not perfect and we sin day in and day out, but that is why God said that he will forgive us 777 x7 daily,

Self-deceit destroys us by avoiding the situation. We know what we did was wrong, but we decide to fill ourselves with our own secular forgiveness by worldly things. I know I did a long time ago fill my void by my own control. But praise God his grace helped me out. When we confess our sins and the things we have done there is a sense of freedom and reconciliation with God. Thats his true heart is for his children to come back to him, confess, and to live a pure life with him Most of the physical and emotional things that we deal with, will be released cause of the forgiveness we receive from God. Sometimes it takes a slap in the face or wake up call to realize the power and grace that God has for us. I got one.. it did me good

Pretty much everything that Dr. Ralph Wilson pointed out in the study was accurate and really good. Jesus did know that the Psalm 22 was referring to him The Holy spirit makes us do things that we don't understand but as long as we obey and do what the spirit is saying , it will make sense to some one else. Lean not on our own understanding but that of Gods.

Jesus spoke those words because God had lifted his hand off of him during that time. God is sooo holy and Jesus, at that time, was bearing all sin of the planet, he was untouchable, And so Jesus knew at that time that God was no longer and So he felt every feeling possible, Forsaken. He expressed the pain and hurt of separation from God. God tore the tabernacle, he trembled the earth, and raised Jesus from the dead 3 days later.... Thats what our God did

Jesus was trying to make themselves figure it out that Jesus was and is the messiah. The one prophesied by many that would be the son of God. If he was born after David, being descendants of David, however David himself called Jesus Lord.... What did that make him. The son of God. With the authority that Jesus carried, he is the head of the army and pursuing the enemies with his scepter. However in order for us to join him without fear, shame, guilt, rejection....etc. he had to also act like a priest, to bring us to God. Like God, Jesus also has many characteristics. Being the mighty warrior and prince of peace are just some of the many presence he brings. Jesus is the Prince of Peace clothing us with garments of honor and majesty as well as fighting for us against the enemy. God has grace, and is extending it to everyone, but if you aren't gonna give him a chance in your life, then you have chosen your path and when judgment day comes you will be judged. says in the bible.

God's Son was set apart from the world with a relationship most of us don't understand. God being father to Jesus his son. A more intimate relationship than just being Jesus friend. But Father and son. A relationship that God is trying to teach us all about himself. That he is our father and that we can come to him as a son or daughter. He is annointed from the powers he carries, that there was oil applied over him to set him apart for God. An oil that spreads out towards us as well,and that we can come to drink of it any time we wanted. God knows all sees all hears all. And knows that the world needed a savior on earth to die for their sins. This world still needs him, however in a different way since he has already died on that cross for us, the world needs to know his love and compassion and forever forgiveness. Jesus has brought me out of the pit and I am forever thankful for that. I will always serve and submit to him. I will enjoy him and his everything for me.

In the days of the old testament... Jesus had not been on earth yet, and has not died for their sins. So it was important that the people knew about God's love and trustworthiness.. Complete faith. The son on the cross is an example of his love, and his forever showing up when we call upon his name is for the trustworthiness. John 14:1-4

God has countless times, shown up at my door with food so that 1 more month my family and I can eat. When his children obey, someone else got blessed. God watches over us all the time, another character that I absolutely love, he has my back. It was embedded in us to praise God. and it will happen when he reigns on earth and heaven. We will join the angels and sing. Everyone needs to know him, he will save them and they won't have to go through hell... I am praising God, I am serving at my church, I am listening to his voice, and I am starting to read the bible more and more cause of this study. GooD JOB Dr. Ralph. you obeyed God and it blessed me.. thank you

One of God's Characters that stand out for me is the truth he brings to my life. Every step I take in my life, he always reminds me of his truth. It has never been a lie for me. When he says something shall happen or be done, or healing , or finances, he shows up. Whether its the 11th hour or a "wadi" way. He always shows up for me. In Exodus... God showed up on the mountain, and revealed the law to Moses. With such a profound act from God no wonder why their understanding was soooo strong to God. There is no limit on Forgiveness..... It explains that its as high as Heaven and goes from the east to the west. Which means..... 777 times a day..... Basically, especailly in this season of Grace, God Forgives....
