Asking for Jesus to Come Into Your Life - The Sinner's Prayer

You have to ask to be in the kingdom.  It is a personal choice made or not made by each person.  This is an example of a prayer you can use if you have never asked Jesus to be your Savior.  The greatest gift is the gift of salvation and everlasting life.  A sense of urgency exists.  Don't put off this decision made by the heart.

 

The Sinner's Prayer

 

Dear God,  I know that I am a sinner. I know that you sent Jesus to be my Savior, and that He died on the cross to take the punishment for my sins.  Please forgive me of all my sins, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward.  Please send the Holy Spirit to come into my life and change me. Please help me to follow you for the rest of my life. Thank you for saving me and taking me to heaven when I die.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Like a Little Child - Come to Him

 Many times, it seems that I want to pray with my head instead of my heart.  I have discovered if I come to Jesus in a humble manner and submit myself to him and his will, he answers.  Sometimes it is best to put aside the burdens of life.  To not focus on what is happening in the mind.  Just be with him from your heart and see what happens for you and your loved ones.  Little children find their security, strength and simplicity of life in their parents.  It is easy for them to have faith in their heavenly Father who brings us all our security, strength and peace.  Let Jesus enter your heart and live in you and with you.  Receive him.

 

Mark 10 - The Little Children and Jesus

¹³ People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. ¹⁴ When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. ¹⁵ Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” ¹⁶ And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

God's Message about your Tongue-Choose Your Words Wisely

God says we are made in his image so why wouldn’t our words have power? God spoke the world into existence. In Genesis "God said" is repeated over and over.  Your words do have power, so select and use them wisely.  They build up and tear down a person all in an instant. Those words spoken stick with that person for years to come as soon as you release them. You may not have meant what you said, but you said the words and that provides rights for your words to exist and impact yourself and others.  Word curses, ungodly beliefs, covenants, vows, pledges, declarations, and oaths are all easily spoken and result in ramification and instant accountability without knowledge on the recipient party.  I would suggest to never use the word never or always. In my case, I know who said what and some of you meant your hurtful words and some of you didn’t.  You didn’t mean hurtful intention and I have forgiven you.  God named his fallen angels with their God given name and their function.  One can even speak to your disease, ailment or infirmity and command it to GO! in Jesus name. In some cases, you will be healed. The good news is that God is the creator of the Universe and Satan is just a fallen angel.  There is a supernatural realm we are all walking in right here, right now and all around you at this very moment.  Chose your words wisely and be kind to others.  Love your neighbor and love God more.

 

Proverbs 18:21 The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

 

Psalm 15  A psalm of David

¹ Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent?
    Who may live on your holy mountain?

² The one whose walk is blameless,
    who does what is righteous,
    who speaks the truth from their heart;
³ whose tongue utters no slander,
    who does no wrong to a neighbor,
    and casts no slur on others;
⁴ who despises a vile person
    but honors those who fear the Lord;
who keeps an oath even when it hurts,
    and does not change their mind;
⁵ who lends money to the poor without interest;
    who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.

Whoever does these things
    will never be shaken

 

Football - No Stadium to Sit In

If you have a choice, what do you choose? There are many things people cannot see, hear or know of to believe in.  Then, you can have faith.  In the spiritual world, there are  two teams and that is it.  You are either in the Kingdom or not in the Kingdom.  There is no void space, not even on Earth.  There are “obstacles” getting in your way of understanding or hearing.  There are doubts, disbeliefs and hindrances attempting to get your attention now. When you equate this to football, which many American’s understand, that means there is no sideline or stadium to go sit in and wait.  What I am suggesting is that a sense of urgency exists. If you don’t know that you are on God’s team, his side, there is a default team who welcomes you and who doesn’t have to fight for your attention. This is why the gates of hell are wide.

 

Matthew 7:13 NIV The Narrow and Wide Gates

¹³ “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. ¹⁴ But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

 

 

The Earth is Satan’s realm with God’s kingdom on Earth.  One has to ask to be included in the Kingdom of God.  You are always welcome because God gave his only Son for your sins.  This knowledge should provide one with much comfort if eternity matters to you.  I didn’t know all of this information either, but I do now and it gives me great peace.

 

Matthew 7 (NIV) Ask, Seek, Knock

⁷ “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
⁹ “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? ¹¹ If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! ¹² So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Fear

Fear.  It has left me.  And fear can leave you too. Fear is one of Satan’s greatest weapons because fear is the opposite of having faith.  Fear can be paralyzing and can keep a person bound.  A person who feels unloved or rejected may have a great deal of fear. Abaddon (Hebrew) or Apollyon (Greek) is the ruling spirit of fear-Destroyer (Revelation 9:11).  These spirits torment and can represent Scorpions. Having fear can keep you from being fully free.  I lived a lot of times afraid.  I was afraid of rejection.  I was afraid of being left out.  I was afraid of dying or being hurt.  I was afraid of being left alone, ridiculed or mocked.  I was afraid of failing. I was afraid of not being good enough. I was afraid that I didn’t matter.  I was always looking from the outside in. Now I am on the inside looking out.  It is a wondrous feeling to not have fear.  I am not afraid.  Death has lost its sting.   I can stand my ground in the knowledge of the truth.  The truth is that was how I saw me, not how others saw me. You have to find your identity in Christ and understand how he sees you.  Now, I know that I will be ok.  That I am ok.   That I have been ok, but just didn’t know it at the time.  It’s your choice whether you are afraid, decide not to worry or be anxious.  Those thoughts of fear do not come from God.   He is not the author of them. Cast your cares on him.  He is right there with you, right now, waiting.
 

“In the name of Jesus, by the authority given to me as a believer, I confess that I have felt fear-fear of man, fear of rejection, fear of death, fear of trauma, childhood fears.  I ask for your forgiveness, forgive myself, forgive you Lord Jesus if I have ever blamed you, forgive x for these fears. I also forgive my ancestors for any inherited fears on both my Mother’s and Father’s side back to Adam.  I ask you to forgive them and them to forgive themselves and forgive those who hurt them. I repent, renounce these sins and rebuke fear.  I ask for your blessings; including faith, healing and deliverance. I bind all spirits and their functions and separate them from the rest.  I call up the head, and bind all others to the head.  I cast them now to the pit in Jesus name. Jesus, I ask you to fill these places with the Holy Spirit, put everything back into perfect order, cover these sins with the shed blood of Jesus.  I ask you to heal me in Jesus name. Amen.”

Isaiah 41

⁹ I took you from the ends of the earth,
    from its farthest corners I called you.
I said, ‘You are my servant’;
    I have chosen you and have not rejected you.
¹⁰ So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

¹¹ “All who rage against you
    will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
    will be as nothing and perish.
¹² Though you search for your enemies,
    you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you
    will be as nothing at all.
¹³ For I am the Lord your God
    who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
    I will help you.

To Pray Daily-The Armor of God Prayer-Ephesians 6:11-18

Going out into the natural world without this is like going out "naked" in the supernatural.

“Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. “

First—Put on the Armor of God

The Helmet of Salvation

Thank you, Lord, for my salvation. I receive it in a new and fresh way from You, and I declare that nothing can separate me now from the love of Christ and the place I shall ever have in Your kingdom.

The Breastplate of Righteousness

And yes, Lord, I wear Your righteousness today against all condemnation and corruption. Fit me with Your holiness and purity—defend me from all assaults against my heart.

The Belt of Truth

Lord, I put on the belt of truth. I choose a lifestyle of honesty and integrity. Show me the truths I so desperately need today. Expose the lies that I am not even aware that I believe.

The Shoes of the Gospel of Peace

I do choose to live for the gospel at any moment. Show me where You are working and lead me to it. Do not let me become slack in my walk.

The Shield of Faith

Jesus, I lift the confidence that You are good against every lie and every assault of the enemy. You have good in store for me. Nothing is coming today that can overcome me because You are with me.

The Sword of the Spirit

Holy Spirit, show me specifically today the truths of the Word of God that I will need to counter the snares of the enemy. Bring them to mind throughout the day.

Then

Finally, Holy Spirit, I agree to walk in step with You in everything. Amen.

Thinking about a relationship with God? He wants a relationship, not religion.

I know what it’s like to be in bondage. It’s a real word and a real situation. The interesting thing about bondage is sometimes you don’t know it when it’s happening to you. In my case, I knew it and not only did I know it, I could define “it.” However, the people looking at me, living with me, interacting with me had no clue. The level of suffering was beyond comprehension. Yet, I was expected to be me, to act like me, to function like me. I was expected to operate at a high level of capacity. After all, I am Mom. I am wife. I am daughter and sister and friend. I quickly discovered their was only one way out of this bondage that only I knew about that the other’s couldn’t see. This is when Christ came crashing in. Most say, it doesn’t happen this way. I don’t know because people don’t seem to talk about these subjects these days in this world. It is almost like talking about Jesus outside of the body of Christ is taboo, or gets you labled crazy or weird. Here is what I do know. I know he comes to heal the broken hearted. I know he rescues those who are lost. I know you can count on him like you can’t count on anything else. I know he loves you. I know he is consistent and never fails. I know he is there right now, right here with me, fighting for me, never failing or foresaking me. And I know he can be there for you too.

The Bible is God’s love for all people. This love was revealed when Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came into the world as a human being, lived a sinless life, died on the cross, and rose from the dead. Because Christ died, our sins can be forgiven, and because He conquered death we can have eternal life. It is possible to know for sure what will become of us after we die.

This gift of forgiveness and eternal life cannot be ours unless we willingly accept it. God requires an response from us.

God’s Love Is Revealed in the Bible

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” –John 3:16 (NIV)

God loves you. He wants to bless your life and make it full and complete. And He wants to give you a life which will last forever, even after you experience physical death.

We Are Sinful

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” –Romans 3:23 (NIV)

We are all sinners. We all do things that we know are wrong.

Sin Has a Price

“For the wages of sin is death.” –Romans 6:23 (NIV)

If we chose to continue to sin, we will pay the penalty of spiritual death: We will not only die physically; we will also be separated from our holy God for all eternity. The Bible teaches that those who choose to remain separated from God will spend eternity in a place called hell.

Christ Has Paid Our Price

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” –Romans 5:8 (NIV)

The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, has paid the price for all our sins. You may think you have to lead a good life and do good deeds before God will love you. But the Bible says that Christ loved you enough to die for you, even when you were rebelling against Him.

Salvation Is a Free Gift

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.” –Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)

God is offering us something we could never provide for yourself: forgiveness of sins and eternal life, God’s gift to us is free. We do not have to work for a gift. All we have to do is joyfully receive it, Believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ died for you!

Jesus Is at Your Door

“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” –Revelation 3:20 (NIV)

Jesus wants to have a relationship with us. Invite Him in. He is waiting for you to receive Him.

You Must Receive Him

“Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” –John 1:12 (NIV)

When you receive Christ into your heart you become a child of God, and have the privilege of talking to Him in prayer at any time about anything. The Christian life is a personal relationship to God through Jesus Christ. And best of all, it is a relationship that will last for all eternity.

Are you ready to accept the gift of eternal life? Then talk to God from your heart through what's known as the sinner’s prayer.

Sinner’s Prayer

“Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I do not deserve eternal life. But, I believe You died and rose from the grave to purchase a place in Heaven for me. Jesus, come into my life, take control of my life, forgive my sins and save me. I am now placing my trust in You alone for my salvation and I accept your free gift of eternal life.”
