This is Episode 451 of the My Morning Devotional Podcast 

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Matthew 3:13-17  which says “13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented. 16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

"We have some takeaways today. We need to remember that when we mark dates in our calendar for God, we can’t be surprised when we are attacked. It comes with it. Rather than avoiding the attack, let’s learn to recognize his tactics. Who and what does he use in our individual lives to try and knock us down? Because what tempts me might not be the same for you. 

The second thing is, we must remember the enemy is scared of who we are on the other side of the water. When we publicly declare our faith he shakes. He knows that is one more person he lost, which makes him one step closer to losing."
