Thursday Writing...9/20/18..."Baptism of God's Son"

Good Morning,

Today's writing is about the Baptism of Jesus as the title indicates. When Jesus began His public ministry, He did it spectacularly, and continued this way throughout His public ministry. However the time of the Baptism was the only time that the three persons of the Trinity were together. Don't you wish you could see that miracle before you in your own life.
Here is a quote from this writing, "We proclaim success into our lives and into our work in the coming days. Crown our efforts with accomplishment for the eternal, in the name of Jesus.  Amen."

Live in the joyful shadow of knowledge of what Jesus did for us, and be blessed.

Today's Devotional 

, "Baptism of God's Son"
Written by Brother Thomas Ukwute
           and Jody Ward

                  

Immediately after John baptized Him, He came up out of the water and the heavens opened up to Jesus. And John saw the Spirit of God descending out of heaven like a dove, landing and settling on Him.

And when that happened, John heard a voice from heaven saying, “This is my dearly loved Son, chosen and marked by My love. I am very pleased with Him, He is the delight of My heart and He brings Me great joy.

Matthew 3.16-17

1.     When Jesus was baptized three things took place.

Immediately after John baptized Him, He came up out of the water and the heavens opened up to Jesus. And John saw the Spirit of God descending out of heaven like a dove, landing and settling on Him.

And when that happened, John heard a voice from heaven saying, “This is my dearly loved Son, chosen and marked by My love. I am very pleased with Him, He is the delight of My heart and He brings Me great joy

1   The heavens opened up to Him.

Lord, we pray that the You will cause the heavens above us to be opened, releasing on us the anointing that will bring freedom and victory to those we know and those we will meet. We pray that He fills our lives with grace and causes the favor of God to follow our lives life and our daily ministry, in Jesus name.

2.    John saw the Spirit of God descending upon Him.

Lord, we ask that your children will see the work of the Holy Spirit within them and to give them the results now that they have desired for a long time.  May the next few days be exceptional at every level, in Jesus name.

3.    The voice endorsed Jesus saying “This is my Son.”

Oh Lord may we go in Your endorsement to bring down the walls of the enemy. May we go in the strength of the Spirit to dismantle every obstacle and every barrier on our way, in Jesus name.

We proclaim success into our lives and into our work in the coming days. Crown our efforts with accomplishment for the eternal, in the name of Jesus Amen.

Today we do not have a song,

This is a beautiful reenactment of 

The Baptism of Jesus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the Baptism of Jesus the complete Trinity 

was present,  The Holy Spirit was there and was seen. Jesus was seen as well. From heaven the voice of God proclaimed who Jesus is. What a wonderful and powerful event took place that day when the world got its first notification of the blessings that were to be ours.
