into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the
glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” Philippians 3:10 says, “I want
to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of shar­
ing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to
attain to the resurrection of the dead.” In scripture the Jordan river is a place
of death and receiving anointings. The death of self has to happen before we
can really enter into the resurrection life anointing. The level at which we die
will be the level we walk in resurrection power. Jesus went under the water
at the Jordan, and when he came up out of the water a clothing of the Spirit
of God and power came on him. In 2 Kings 2 we see Elisha tearing off the
old garment to put on the new mantle as he was willing to follow Elijah to the
Jordan. Many Christians in the west are still selfish. They haven’t been to the
Jordan. Would you sell everything you own and move to a foreign land
where you knew you would probably be martyred for your faith? A dead per­
son will go even to the death for Christ. Have you laid down your life for the
gospel? A person who is truly crucified with Christ will be a bold witness,
because he doesn’t care what others think of him. A dead person will be free
in their worship for the same reason. The reason many Christians are pow­
erless and don’t have the power to raise the dead is because they haven’t
died to receive resurrection power. This power will raise both the spiritually
dead and the physically dead. Now let’s look at the spiritual power in water
baptism.
1 Corinthians 10:2 says concerning the children of Israel “They were all bap­
tized into Moses in the cloud and the sea.” There was a water baptism Israel
went through when they crossed the Red Sea. They were baptized into
Moses (a picture of Christ) when they passed through the Red Sea. The
point I want to make is that the same waters that baptized Israel also closed
behind them to separate them from Egypt, which represents the world and
our past sins. Also, the waters killed their pursuing enemies. Even though
you make heaven by the blood of Jesus only, there is a power in water bap­
tism. John the Baptist was not doing something new. There were large con­
tainers of water at the temple that people would dip in for ceremonial clean­
sing. This is all through the Law of Moses. Dick Rueben said the best time to
pray for someone to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit is right out of the
waters of baptism. There seems to be an outward cleansing that prepares
someone to receive a new level of anointing. John Kilpatrick said he has
found that those that are water baptized are less likely to backslide. I just
want to bring home the point that water baptism is part of the deep conse­
cration. I always obey the Bible and water baptize all those in my congrega­
tion.
The renewed mind
Romans 12:2 “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to approve
what God’s will is­ his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” The word trans­
