Prayer of Salvation




Do you know Jesus? Have you been thinking about Christ? He's certainly thinking about you. There's something greater than knowing Jesus as personal Savior and that is knowing Him as Lord.
You can have Jesus as your Lord, not just your Savior. When you know Him as Lord in your life He begins to minister graciously in every area of your life.

This is not a religion, because you've had enough religion, the whole world has. This is about a personal committment, a relationship with Jesus. It's a prayer from your heart that you confess with your mouth. When that happens you're praying by faith, and when you pray by faith, faith will bring Christ into your life. It's not a religion, it's a person, and His Name is Jesus.

Romans 10:8-10
8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach):
9 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.
10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."


If you are at the point in your life where you are ready to make a personal commitment to follow Christ, all you have to do is reach out to Him now in prayer. He is listening and waiting to come into your heart and help you live a better life. Will you invite Him in now? If you'd like to pray and receive Christ as your Savior, you can use this simple prayer as a guide:

"Lord Jesus, I ask You to come into my life and forgive me of all my sins. I confess my sins before You this day. I denounce Satan and all his works. I confess Jesus as the Lord of my life. Thank You for saving me. I believe with my heart and I confess with my mouth that You rose from the dead. I am saved. Write my name in the Lamb's book of life. Today is my God-day with the Lord Jesus! I pray this prayer to the Father in the name of Jesus. Amen."

Now ask God to lead you to a church fellowship where you can grow and be nurtured in your new life. He'll show you. Also tell someone of your decision for Christ. God Bless YOU!!!!
