Prayer

Because of God's grace, we can pray the prayer of salvation. All we have to do is to ask God to come into our heart and be Lord of our heart. God's grace is for those who live in His kingdom and whose kingdom lives in them. We can't receive His grace unless we receive Him. It's a gift that is from Him, in His hand. Grace happens when God refrains from punishing a person who is guilty. Mercy is God's compassion for our misery beyond what may be expected. Both is what all of us need.

Some people believe that because they grew up in a Christian family that they are saved. If you haven't prayed that prayer of salvation, then you aren't a part of God's kingdom. You can't inherit salvation. My mom used to say "you can't get to Heaven on my apron strings". A gift is simple, you just have to receive what someone is giving you. God's gift is the same, all you have to do is acknowledge that Jesus is the son of God and believe that He laid down his life to save you from all of your sins so that you can have life eternal. Ask His forgiveness for not living your life the way that He wants you to live. Ask that He will come into your heart and fill it with the Holy Spirit. Once you have prayed the prayer of salvation, your future is secure. Heaven bound!

Jesus said to him, " I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6

The prayer of salvation brings forgiveness and freedom from guilt. No one who tells you "Don't worry about it" or "it wasn't your fault" never gets rid of that guilt from you. Only God's forgiveness can give you that freedom. When we pray the prayer of salvation, for the first time we are free from having to face the failure of our past. It also brings you peace. For the first time, your live has purpose and you know exactly where you will be going when you die.

"Everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day" John 6:40

He is the only one who can give us life before death as well as life hereafter. With Him as our Savior we become more and more alive.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God sent by Jesus to give us comfort, to build us up, to guide us in all truth, bring us spiritual gifts, to help us pray more effectively, and to give us wisdom and revelation. We have to be willing to be used of God, where and how He wants to use us.

Have a great day! Be used of God today!
