JESUS NEVER FAIL
However knowledgeable we are we need to be aware that God’s works are so often beyond our mental capacity to categorize and put them in convenient packages. Our inability to analyze or describe what happens does not make what God is doing any less true. God is above our rationalizing. The Baptism in the Spirit is like the Atonement, for which there are various theories; the fact of the matter is that Christ plunged to depths nobody will ever fathom. How the Father was reconciled to us by the death of his Son, whom we killed, is totally beyond the workings of the human mind. We know something took place that guarantees our salvation. Similarly, Jesus does baptize in the Holy Spirit, and we do receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon us. It is his work and we are his agents. We can go with the Word knowing that Jesus never fails (see Acts 1:7). Blessed? REINHARD BONNKE
