Are you born again? From April 23, 2012

In several of my past teachings to you I have asked or talked about being born again or accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. So the questions are; Are you born again? Have you ever received Jesus as your Lord and Savior? If the answer to these questions are no, read these scriptures and pray this prayer, agreeing with it from your heart.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (17) “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”

Romans 10:9-10, 13 “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

John 14:16 “Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh into the Father but by me.”

Pray This Prayer: Dear God in heaven, I come to You believing that Jesus Christ died on the cross for man’s sins. I open my heart and invite Jesus to come in to be my personal Lord and Savior. Forgive me for all of my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness.  Teach me Your word, and fill me with the power of your Holy Spirit. Give me knowledge and wisdom, and show me how to live a victorious life. I thank You Jesus, because I am born again and saved through Your shed blood on the cross at Calvary, and I am on my way to heaven in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Another thing that you need is the Holy Spirit in your life. Mark 16:17 says, “In my name that shall speak with new tongues.” Luke 11:13 says, “ How much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him.” Acts 2:38 tells us after we are born again we shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Now ask your Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus to baptize you with the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

Here is a prayer that you can use or use your own words. “Heavenly Father I ask you to fill me with your Holy Spirit. I receive Him by faith in the name of Jesus. I thank you Father, for filling me full of the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit. Now I will speak in other tongues as the Spirit gives me the language in Jesus name.
