Proclaim The Baptism Of Repentance For Forgiveness

"John the Baptist went into all the region proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, as it is written in the book of Isaiah."

"Prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth; and all flesh shall see the salvation of God." Luke 3:1-6

I pray...
Lord, is it my time now? Is it my time to proclaim the good news as John the Baptist did. Lord, I accept Your invitation to join You in Your mission and proclaim the good news. Show me the way Lord, tell me what to say.

Jesus, I seek the blessing of Your presence in everything I think and say and do. Make my way clear Lord, so I may glorify You.

Jesus, may all that is You flow into me and through me to proclaim Your good news. I pray for renewal and a baptism of Your Holy Spirit within me. And that as You did when Jesus was baptised, You open up heaven and the Holy Spirit descends on me, and I will hear You say, "You are my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased."
Luke 3:21-22

Thank You Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I rejoice in Your love and spirit. Thank You for being with me, within me and thank You for Your life-giving presence in my mind, body, heart and soul. Thank You for making my life in You whole.

Lord, teach me to recognize Your presence in others. My heart is filled with gratitude for Your love and the love of my family and friends.

Jesus said, "Rejoice in Me always; again I say rejoice. Let your loving spirit be made known to everyone. Let them know that I am near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to Me. And My peace, which surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus."

"Keep doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in Me and My peace will be with you." Philippians 4:4-9
