John said here in Luke 3, that someone much greater than he is coming. One who baptises in the Holy Spirit and with fire. Now baptism as we know is leaving the old behind in the water and emerging a new and clean person. It publicly symbolizes a commitment to Jesus and signifies the believer's identification with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, representing a death to sin and a new life in Christ.
Equally important is being baptised by in the Holy Spirit. It is after this that believers start speaking in tongues and a spiritual communion is established with the Holy Spirit but it is important that we also ask God to baptise us with fire. God is a consuming fire and as the Holy Spirit baptises you with fire it cleanses your body and God purifies you and basically sets you on fire for His gospel.
To get baptised with the Holy Spirit and with fire is simply asking God and He will. My friend, again I state that a intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit is vital to your day to day walk with Jesus. Seek Him and talk to Him every chance you get and the issues of life will disappear.
Have an awesome day.
