Are We Baptized with Fire?
“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.””(Matthew 3:11-12 NKJV)
I have read what some believers wrote about the passage above, saying that we need the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire. I imagine that many well-intentioned preachers are also preaching this passionately in a loud voice to their congregation.
They totally misunderstood what being baptized with fire means.
If you read the passage above carefully, you will notice that the sentence about the baptism of Holy Spirit and fire is parallel to the next sentence.
In the next sentence, the “Holy Spirit” is a parallel with God’s “wheat” being gathered into the barn, while “fire” is a parallel with the “chaff” being burnt up with unquenchable fire.
The baptism of fire is not a good thing to experience!
When we read the Amplified Bible translation of the passage, the meaning becomes very clear:
““As for me, I baptize you with water because of [your] repentance [that is, because you are willing to change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret your sin and live a changed life], but He (the Messiah) who is coming after me is mightier [more powerful, more noble] than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to remove [even as His slave]; He will baptize you [who truly repent] with the Holy Spirit and [you who remain unrepentant] with fire (judgment). His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear out His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat (believers) into His barn (kingdom), but He will burn up the chaff (the unrepentant) with unquenchable fire.”” (Matthew 3:11-12 AMP)
The word “baptize” means “to immerse”, like when you dive into a pool, you are immersed with water.
Believers are baptized with the Holy Spirit, whereas unbelievers will be baptized with the fires of Hell and the lake of fire.
The wages of sin is death, and sin has to be punished. Being burnt by the fires of Hell is the way which unbelievers have to pay for their sins, since they rejected the payment which Jesus made on their behalf; it is not set to their account. This fiery eternal torment is what being baptized with fire means.
Therefore a person cannot be baptized with both the Holy Spirit and with fire—it is only one or the other, depending on whether he receives or rejects Jesus as Lord.
So please, don’t tell believers that they have to be baptized with fire, for being burnt up like chaff in unquenchable fire is NOT their portion!

With my hubby having to fly out of town last minute, sitting here alone, I truly felt Christmas has been cancelled for us both this year.
Then I started to look around and saw the three Christmas trees we put up together (yes you heard it right, three!), the Christmas village we had set up below our TV, the garland we hung around our door, all the snowmen dotted around our home and even our beloved festive teddies that always come out this time of the year!
We didn’t miss Christmas after all! Christmas isn’t just a day, it’s a feeling. It’s all the mess we made while decorating. It’s all the planning and feel-good moments leading up to the big day and of those, I’m so fortunate to have had so many!
Not to mention all the beautiful and heart-warming messages I have been receiving from all of you!
Christmas is those unfiltered moments where your heart is so full of joy and happiness it could burst and while we celebrate it on one specific day, the true celebration starts the day you get that warm fuzzy feeling inside!
And you know who totally agrees with me, @TheBodyShopSg!
The Body Shop will donate a portion of every transaction made offline and online in their official stores from November to December to support Daughters Of Tomorrow @daughtersoftomorrow, in helping underprivileged women on their back-to-work journeys to build financially independent and resilient families.
This is the Christmas spirit and this is the true meaning of Christmas, my friends!
Can you feel the Christmas magic already?

Greens 🥬 is a priority & naughty carbs is occasionally 🥖. Easy peasy ✌🏼.
Many of u asked whether I track my calories or count my macros currently.
A: not at the moment as I can roughly gauge portion size of the general food I eat.
Yes it true to lose fats/weight you need to track what you eat, calorie intake & macro. However, if you have been practising healthy eating and your healthy eating habits somewhat has become part of your lifestyle, tracking calories/macros is not entirely necessary if you are on the maintenance side.
This advantage is not for everyone unfortunately. It really depends on your fitness/health goal tbh. And how well u know your food and the food you are eating daily.
For someone who just started their journey, I would suggest you to “tahan” and go with the timely & tedious process of counting calories/macros for at least 28days. Coz we’ll let’s be honest here, not everyone can be discipline enough & have that will power to control their “nafsu” makan aight.
After 28days, ask yourself if you can eat almost the same food and sort of gauge the portion. If you can’t, keep counting them calories/macro & track it using app.
Transitioning from counting calories/macro, you can pay attention to the portion size. Meaning for the first 28days, after u measure your food, jot down the serving size using hand portion serving size.
How 200g of cooked chicken look in hand portion size and etc. I know it’s timely & timeous, but once u get a hang of it, you can pretty much know how much you should be eating in each meal.
But again, this method only work if you are maintaining your weight. To build lean muscle/load mass/shred/lose weight, unfortunately you have to put in more effort and count them cal/macros the least once in every 2-3 weeks.
Hope this help. It’s just my way of simplifying things. It might not be for everyone.
P/s: I know u guys are obsess over protein but please prioritise 🥬 and have them in every main meal. 🥕 doesn’t count lol 😂

Osechi-Ryori is traditional Japanese New Year's food eaten during the first three days of the New Year. Each dishes that make up Osechi-Ryori has a special meaning celebrating the New Year (such as good health, fertility, good harvest, happiness, long life, etc...) and those dishes can last for a couple of days in the refrigerator or at cool room temperature in winter. Usually, they are served in Jyubako (重箱: three-tiered bento boxes). In the first tier, we serve colorful festive dishes such as shrimp, black beans, sweet chestnuts, etc... In the second tier we serve Sunomono (pickled dishes) and Yakimono (grilled dishes). And in the third tier, we serve Nimono (simmered dish) called Nishime (simmered Japanese vegetables).
I prefer to cook a lot of Savory dishes and buy small portion of sweet dishes. Nowadays, stores are open 365 days and you can get food during the holiday season so there is no reason to cook a lot of sweet dishes and save till the holiday is over 😅👍
