Salvation
- definition - deliverance from sin, rescue from hell
and damnation, escape from the perils of sin, recovery
of a pure body, soul, mind and spirit that is pleasing
to and in line with what God desires for us, empowerment
from the Holy Spirit of God, wisdom, knowledge and protection
from God the Father, creative forces and a new mind
from Jesus.
Do you have ANY uncertainty that you are going to heaven?
Do you constantly feel you are alone?
Do you feel like your mind is focused on evil or damaging
thoughts?
Have you prayed the prayer of salvation and did not
take it seriously when you asked God for salvation and
for Jesus to enter your heart and cleanse you from sin?
Are you not sure that you did any of this or if you
did it right?
Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God?
Do you believe that his conception and birth was a perfect
union of God's spoken word that a Messiah would come
and be born of a virgin?
Do you believe that Jesus is that Messiah and he was
born as a sacrificial offering for the sin of all people
who inhabit this earth?
Do
you understand that without salvation you will not go
to Heaven because there is no one who is sin free without
the salvation of Jesus since the fall of man in the
Garden of Eden?
Do you understand that being a good person or doing
nice things will not get you to heaven?
Do you feel that you have a good understanding of what
is right and what is wrong?
If
you answered yes to all of the questions above then
you may have missed the mark. Not one person on this
earth is going to heaven if they refuse God and salvation
past the age of accountibility.
Please consider the attitude of your heart at this moment.
Reflect on what happens when you turn your life over
to God?
You are saved from sin.
You receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit into your
life to guide you.
You
receive a relationship with God the Father, God the
Son & God the Holy Spirit and whatever spiritual
gifts that God desires for you to have.
When you are prepared to receive the infilling or Baptism
of the Holy Spirit, God will move within you to mature
you and bring you closer to Him by preparing you for
service in His name.
You will have a home in Heaven as long as you do not
grieve the Holy Spirit with blasphemy, wicked oaths,
or cursing against the LOVE that God gives us through
this precious relationship.
You will have a new found strength and the presence
of someone in your life who UNDERSTANDS EVERYTHING YOU
FACE AND WILL NEVER DEPART FROM YOU.
Anything you may fear you will have to give up by joining
the family of God will be replaced by a mightier blessing.
Your circumstances may not change at all, but you have
the power and protection of God at your back and His
Spirit joining with yours to move ahead and conquer
your problems and circumstances. If you are prepared
to join the family of God please speak this prayer and
commit each word to your heart with faith and trust
that God is in control. All are welcome in the family
of God.
Dear God - I am a sinner. I was born with the sin nature
and I have sinned. I do not remember every sin that
I have ever committed in my lifetime, but I repent for
the ones that I have full knowledge of and each sin
that you bring to my memory now and in the future. I
especially ask for forgiveness for those sins I am unable
to remember. I ask that you guide me to restore damaged
relationships and repair any damage my sins have done
to others. I understand that this will occur in your
timing and not mine. Please stand by me and help me
understand when things do not happen in my timing. I
believe that Jesus was born of a virgin for the purpose
of cleansing all sinners from sin. I believe that by
his shed blood and death on the cross he made the perfect
sacrifice for the sins of all of us. I believe that
he died and rose again on the third day to fulfill Old
Testament prophecy of who the Messiah is. I ask that
you fill me with your Holy Spirit and lead me in the
path you desire for me. I ask that you teach me all
things you would have for me to know and lead me to
what I should be doing for your kingdom. I ask that
you fill me with the Holy Spirit and I will listen to
the Holy Spirit as my conscience. I will seek the guidance
of a church family to help me grow closer to you and
encourage me when the devil tries to steal my belief
in you, and put lies into my head that you are doing
nothing for me. I thank you for sacrificing the life
of your Son so that I may walk in freedom and come to
the glory of Heaven when my time on Earth is over. I
ask that you show me in the Bible scriptures that answer
my deepest needs and that you direct me to the church
that is right for me and pleasing to you. Lord, I thank
you for this grace and I pray this prayer in the name
of Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior of all. AMEN
