Hello and thank you for joining me today. I think this is a very important time.
Today, you begin a new journey.
You become a brand new creation in Christ Jesus.
It's my privilege to be a part of this
moment in your life.
The word of God tells us that, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God
and all need to be made right with God by his grace,
which is a free gift." - Romans 3:23-24
You stepped into this room with me for a reason. God's speaking to your heart right now.
My desire is to pray a prayer of faith with you.
The Word of God says that if we, "confess with our mouth and believe in our heart
that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, we shall be saved." - Romans 10:9
I want you to pray this prayer with me.
I want you to pray it from your heart. "Father...
I come to you today, just as I am.
And I ask you
to receive me
as your child.
Jesus, I believe that you died for my sins
and I believe on the third day you rose from the dead and because you are alive
today I have victory.
And I ask you Jesus into my heart
as my Lord and
my Savior.
You saved me from my sins and I believe that your blood cleanses from all
unrighteousness.
And today I ask you to take charge in my life.
Be my Lord
as well as my Savior."
It's that simple.
What I want you to recognize now is, it's not just the prayer,
but it's what we do next. You need
four things in your life. Number one,
you need to spend time with the Word of God.
Peter knew what it was to be sinking in
the Sea of Galilee, in the midst of a storm. And you may be that kind of a
person, right in the middle of a storm. And he
said, "Jesus, save me."
Jesus took him by the hand and brought him out.
That same Jesus is taking you by the hand and bringing you forth, today.
Today is your day of miracles.
The next thing I want you to recognize is you need to build your prayer life.
Get around people that know how to pray
and it will help you.
Third thing I want you to do is develop some new friends, some Christian
friends;
people that will encourage you in the things of God and help you, even disciple
you and help you to grow in the things of God. And the fourth thing is this,
ministry.
Find you a good Bible believing church
and get involved helping other people
and let God work through you. As that happens, you will grow in the Lord,
you will grow in grace, faith, power.
Most of all, you will enjoy the
peace of God
that passeth all understanding.
Thank you, for letting me be a part of this in your life today.
God bless you.
