Paul Email -8June13- Matthew 3

How you doin? Please be praying for me. I had the most unique experience last night. I faced a demonic attack that was like nothing I've ever seen. I would say that the other team over played their hand. It was very obvious to me. I believe it was their attempt to block the next glory God has for me through starting my day at night. COME ON!!!!!!!!! I praised God all night while persevering through this attack. I could see the over played hand and it made me excited for what God has in store for me. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matthew 3 this morning. I just love Jesus' baptism at the end of the chapter, but today something else stood out.

“I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” (Matthew 3:11-12)

The entire chapter 3 is just incredible. The connection to the O.T. and fulfilling of the old covenant is great. What can be said about Jesus' baptism. All 3 of the God head are present. Jesus' receives baptism of repentance and never sinned. Jesus received the Presence of God. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The connection of the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire and the burning of the chaff with unquenchable fire, really spoke to me today. Jesus came to separate the wheat from the chaff. Wheat is used to make bread (food). Chaff is worthless. Jesus came to baptize us in the Holy Spirit and fire. Unquenchable fire burns up the chaff. COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need to get to some lawn mowing, but I hope you take a few minutes today to look over Matthew 3. It's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS I didn't sleep but for maybe 2hrs last night and I have more energy then usual. COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God's grace is sufficient. Here comes, "The Sonny", When I saw Jesus in all that was going on last night, He was saying, "keep coming, I'm here and you're doing great!". I'm going to ruin this laptop with tears. AWESOME!!!!!!!
