Jump Right In!

Christianity only really works when you are immersed in it. There is nothing more miserable than a half hearted Christian. Teetering on the edge of favour and glory, without the bottle to quite jump in and suck the juice out of God’s “Life in all its fullness” is quite painful, as you usually end up aware of all the “don’ts”, but get to enjoy few of the blessings!

In Christianity, you must be baptised. You probably already know, that simply means “Immersed, dunked, saturated, marinated”.

The Bible talks about being immersed (baptised) in water, into the body of Christ (Church), in the Holy Spirit and even into suffering!

You see baptism, or being immersed, speaks of letting go of an old life, and fully embracing a new life. It is a burial of sorts, and a coming back to life. It is accepting, “this is a revolution in my life – everything’s changed!”

The Christian walk, and God’s ways or Laws, simply don’t work by dipping your toe in! You either tithe or you don’t. You worship, or you don’t. You obey, or you don’t. You can try to “attend church occasionally” instead of  becoming a “disciple” (What God has called you to), but usually you are simply looking for enough of God to anaesthetise you from life’s ills, or your own shame, but you’ll never know His power to transform you. So you’ll grow old, but not better. Wrinkled, but not mature! That’s not destiny!

Today, make the decision to be Baptised… fully immersed, surrendered, saturated, marinated and dunked into God, His Spirit, His Word and His purposes for your life. It’s the ONLY way Christianity really works!

I choose to fully immersed my life in Christ! I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me (Galatians 2:20). My thoughts, my desires, and my actions are surrendered to Him.

I declare that I am rooted and established in His love. I abide in Him, and He abides in me, for apart from Him, I can do nothing (John 15:4-5). My identity is found in Christ alone, and I am transformed by the renewing of my mind (Romans 12:2).

I declare that I am baptized into Christ and clothed with His righteousness (Galatians 3:27). I walk in the power of His Spirit, led by His truth, and strengthened by His grace. The old has passed away, and I am a new creation in Him (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Join us for a day to seek God’s face, get lost in worship, hear His voice, receive prophetic ministry, be stirred and inspired by Jarrod Cooper’s teaching, to embrace all God is doing at the start of this new era.
