The New and Fresh Baptisms of the Spirit of God

I have been so blessed the last few days with sudden surges of power that feels like a lighting strike. It almost feels like you have just drunken a keg of Red Bull energy drink and are filled with this power to go out and run a supernatural triathlon (LOL). So while waiting and marinating in His glory haze this morning, I asked Abba if He would release this fresh and new baptism(s) of His Spirit to those who subscribe to these EMM. He said, “YES”…so here is my attempt to outline an obscure text in one of the 8th Century B.C. Prophets and thus give you’all today a faith-link to get a mid-air refueling…

“Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; When they have something to bite with their teeth, they cry, “Peace,” but against him who puts nothing in their mouths. they declare holy war. Therefore, it will be night for you–without vision, and darkness for you–without divination. The sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will become dark over them. The seers will be ashamed and the diviners will be embarrassed. Indeed, they will all cover their mouths because there is no answer from God. On the other hand I am filled with power–With the Spirit of the Lord–and with justice and courage to make known to Jacob his rebellious act, even to Israel his sin. Now hear this, heads of the house of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice and twist everything that is straight, who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with violent injustice. Her leaders pronounce judgment for a bribe, her priests divine for money. Yet, they lean on the Lord saying, “Is not the Lord in our midst? Calamity will not come upon us.” Therefore, on account of you, Zion will be a plowed as a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins, and the mountain of the temple will become high places of a forest.” (Micah 3;5-12 NASB)

1) Notice in this text that Micah is a contemporary with the Prophet Isaiah (ch.1:1) and even the Spirit of God causes them to blend together the same end-time oracle of the last days (ch.4:1-3). (This is the same text that the UN (united nothing) has put over the entrance of their front door at the hdqrts in NYC!)

2) The theme of the remnant being preserved is also herein this prophetic discourse (ch.2:12-13) but adds in here the terminology of the shepherd who drives the people into the fold or the Holy of Holies. (Visit our web site and get the Desert and Shepherd in Our Biblical Heritage book for more illumination of this exciting desert warfare at http://flashfloods.com/store.cx?step=3&cat_id=1)

3) Notice the imagery in verse 2:13 of the breaker anointing (i.e. Elijah/John the Baptist) whose sole purpose is to get the sheep back under the proper care of one King and that is Jesus! Not this monarchy system that always corrupts good leaders into despots (i.e. David).

4) So now in this context, we began to understand that the true Spirit of Elijah to prepare the way for the One True King is to denounce and expose the corrupt Rulers, Prophets, Seers, and Priests (ch. 3). (Oh, boy is this not popular today….)

5) The biggest thing that God issues warnings out against is why they “do not know Justice” (ch.3:1)! And this is again the problem today in our believing circles…justice and honesty is not a popular topic and does not bring in the large offerings…. Thus a holy war is launched against the bond servants of justice by the use of false prophetic words; witchcraft intercession; and demolition of anybody who begins to point out the sins in the camp!

6) And this is exactly where you and I get filled with new baptism(s) in His Spirit or we miss our mid-air refueling and fall back into a standby (just enough) anointing to get by on! When we do not become vocal and speak out against the sin and injustice we see amongst the leaders, Prophets, Seers, and Priesthood with the Church…then we miss one of the greatest endowments of power…which is the Spirit of Justice and Courage!

There is available for you and I a power baptism that is only available by walking the gauntlet of absolute integrity and honesty while in the house of God! If you keep compromising your life, your business, what entertainments you watch/do…then there is no link up with the greater power from heaven because you would therefore be barbecued and drop dead like Ananias and Sapphira (Acts5)! There needs to be a mortification in your lower nature to insulate you from the raw power of God’s justice (Romans chs. 6-8)!

We all need to put down the baby bottles and start moving into the meat of God’s Word which states that the powers of the age to come are now upon us (Hebrews6)! And it is in this environment of the very healthy and pure Fear of The Lord that we get connected with a new baptism(s) of power! AND IT IS THE SPIRIT OF JUSTICE AND COURAGE!

S0 go ahead and sit back from your computer monitor and get on your knees and cry out for a love for honesty and purity with no compromise! Because what you may think is not compromise….is actually the very compromise God is wanting to purge from you! And as you get into that place of shalom and stillness of His acceptance and love…then be willing “to go” and “to say” whatever He wants you to say….. Because what He wants you to say will require courage since we are in a huge house cleaning right now in the Body of Messiah! And there is way too much divining for money in the pulpits right now (Micah 3:11)!

Be filled dear ones!
Yield to His consuming fire and passion for justice!
He will wash your mind of the past so you can have strength for the future!
There is much work to be done in the days ahead!
Oh, Yield, Yield, and Keep Yielding to His Hovering Nearness Right Now!!!!

BE FILLED WITH HIS SPIRIT OF POWER TO BRING FORTH JUSTICE WITH COURAGE!!!
