My water baptism
buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. ( Colossians 2:12)
My water baptism was on 8th April. Baptism means immersed in the water. This was a public confession of my faith. It also brings me into a covenant relationship with God.
I accepted Christ many years ago but this is the day I am born again in Christ. Before my baptism, Iwent through some hardship that really pressed me down. Series of problems attacked me either spiritually, emotionally and mentally.
One week before my baptism, it was spiritual attack. It happened during my sleeping time. I was overwhelmed by the enemy. The enemy was like attacking me physically and bothered me. I struggled and try my utmost strength to get rid of the disturbance. I didnt pray immediately for God’s protection. The attacks seems getting worst and aggresive. The more I fight back the more terrible it goes on. At that moment, I surrendered to God. Wow… I experienced peace. I sense God’s presence and protection. The enemy has subsided. This happened for few days and I was so afraid to sleep. I think I ve developed sleeping phobia! 
I thank God that my roomates prayed for me. Corporate prayer is powerful. No matter how powerful the enemies are, it’s just temporary victory. All problems are temporary.
What I learnt was God is always there, no matter what difficulties we face. It’s temporary but God is eternal. God can use hardtime to draw us closer to Him. Through the hardship, my relationship with God is restored. I pray that our relationship can blossom into Christ-centered relationship. thank God for all the problems. It strengthen me in a creative way! Praise Him…
