daily prayer

         Great morning to be alive! How are we faithing?  With the discussions we've had the last two days it becomes evident that the simple act of being saved  and how to do it needs to be presented. It's really quite simple and Jesus laid it out so a child can understand therefore even I got it. Levity aside, this is the most important decision you will ever make in your life. This decision has eternal consequences. Fail to make the choice and the choice becomes made for you. So lets look at scripture to see how we do this;

Mark 16:20
And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed. And they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions. And after that, Jesus Himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.


Acts 4:12
And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.


Romans 10:9-13

9that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; 13 for “WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.”

John 3:16-20

16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18 He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.



So there you go. Simple actually. Believe in your heart, confess with the mouth to salvation. So pray this aloud;


  Father God, forgive my sins.  I accept your gift of salvation that your only begotten son gives. I admit I am a sinner and in need of a savior. I believe Jesus died for me. Lord, thank you for saving me, in Jesus' name , amen!


Now out loud you pray this then rejoice because your eternity is set! You are a child of God therefore have a right to approach him anytime with anything and he is listening. Take the time to read the Word every day. Pray/speak to him every day. Remember this flesh has it's pitfalls but never is your secure place in heaven in jeopardy! The Word tells us "nothing can snatch us out of his hands"! Now go find a bible believing church to attend, get yourself baptized like the Word tells us and embark on a journey that you can't even fathom!
