1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1
Now here is my point. Too many of our modernists and even our fundamentalists (so-called) believe unto salvation at a certain specific time which in many cases is called “making a decision,” and that has been called receiving Christ or being born again. Now to receive Christ is to receive His Spirit. To receive His Spirit is to be born again. To receive His Spirit is to be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Amen. These folks believe. That is wonderful. But they stop there. You receive the Holy Ghost AFTER you believe. It has always been that way and always will be. The very first word of direction to the people was by Peter at Pentecost and he said,
“Repent and be baptized every one of you, in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost,
For the promise is unto you and to your children and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
Acts 2:38-39

CHORUS
Lord, I’m coming back with my clean fresh drink of water
Desire of Thy heart from the well of Your Bride
A water that’s bubbling up from the inside pure and clean
Pleasing unto You and not spilling
Cutting my way through with the sword you gave to me
Clothed with the armour of your Word
Marching the victor’s march for the promises are sure
To all the seed, Lord I believe
Daily I’m groaning with a passion to know your word
An inner cry for reaching out in the Spirit
A fervent desire to please you my Lord
To do the things that you have me to do
Philistines are falling the devils are on the run
Utter destruction facing him on every hand
God’s army is marching for the sun is standing still
The Mighty General Joshua is in command
Cutting my way through with the sword you gave to me
It’s another bruising for Satan under our feet
These warriors have brought this drink for His desire is our command
Our enemy is dead, the Lord Jesus Christ has won
