I have already shared with you on eight occasions why I am so certain about what I believe as a follower of Jesus.
If you can’t clearly remember everything I’ve shared with you about this, go read it on my website at www.new-wine.co.za
Everything I’ve shared with you means nothing if you don’t respond to it.
If you have never made this choice to accept Jesus as Savior and Lord, then I invite you to do so now.
Maybe at some point in your life, you have accepted Jesus in faith as Savior. Then I also want to remind you that He is not just Savior, but also Lord and King.
That’s why I want to invite you to choose that He will be Lord and King in every area and aspect of your life.
Ask His Spirit to take full control of your life and to steer your life’s engine as and where He wants.
Let’s pray about this together.
I'm going to do it first in my own language and in my own way so that you can read it calmly and have the opportunity to really think about it. Because what we are doing here is life-changing!
Then I invite you to say it out loud in your own words to the Lord. Yes, even if you’ve done it in the past.
Let’s just pray and reaffirm our faith in Jesus.
Here’s what I’m praying for today in my prayer:
'Lord Jesus, thank you for what You did for me on the cross. I believe that You also died for me, were buried, and rose again from the dead.
Today I choose to accept You in faith as my Savior and Lord. Lord Jesus,
I believe that You are God the Son who became human to take my punishment upon Yourself.
I confess that I have done so many things wrong and sinned against You.
Forgive me. Have mercy on me! Free me from my sinful past. Cleanse my life.
I choose to love You, follow You, and serve You for the rest of my life.
Come through Your Spirit and take full control of my life.
Fill me with Your presence and Your power.
Guide me and teach me every day.
Use me however and wherever You want.
Help me to obey Your Word and to continue believing it.
Thank You, Jesus, for hearing my prayer. Amen.”
Don’t you want to say it out loud now in your own words to the Lord who is there with you, in prayer?
Let me give you a chance to do it yourself.
Have you done it?
If so, can I now, finally, pray for you?
“In the Name of Jesus Christ, I now declare that the Lord has forgiven your sins.
From this moment on, as God’s Word itself tells you, you can know that you are a child of God.
May you, from this moment on, see and experience evidence everywhere that what you prayed for has become true in your life.
May you experience the peace of the Lord as a reality in your life.
May you discover that His grace is enough for you every day.
May you grasp His protection and presence in your life every day in faith and live from it.
Therefore, I bless you now in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit!
May you be aware every day of His presence and grace in your life, as God the Father, who made us, and as Jesus, God the Son, who died for us, and as God the Holy Spirit, who is with you every day.
Be assured that this God’s grace is enough for you every day.
Amen.
