Jesus Baptism

In Mark 1:9 Jesus was Baptized by John. Why did Jesus have to be Baptized? There were no miracles recorded that Jesus had performed before this point. The Holy Spirit descended on him like a dove. The Holy Spirit came after Jesus was baptized. Jesus needed to be filled with the Holy Spirit so that he could perform miracles. He was fully a man and fully God and had left his divine power in heaven upon coming to earth so that he could be fully human. When we are baptized we recieve the same spirit that Christ recieved and we can walk as he did and perform the same miracles that he did. I can't think of any time when Jesus was healing someone that they weren't healed when he spoke. Is that just because he was Jesus or do we have the same power within us. I prayed for a boy named willie the other day to be healed and nothing happened immediately. I was really frustrated by that. If I am called to live as Christ why wasn't that boy healed. I had a dream the weekend before in which I met Christ. He performed miracles and helped people. He called me to do the same. I shared the dream in Church and a woman there was.... I was supposed to pray over the child when the mother was present. The father was there and not the mother. I think I am supposed to pray over him again.

Lord. Please pour out the annointing of your spirit on me and let me walk in your way as your son Jesus did.
