the will of self.

entire- lacking nothing that properly belongs to it.
What is Eternal Life?
To know God. (Its based on
relationship.) (John 17:3)
God wants you to have a
relationship with Him and to understand (experience) His ways. (Jer. 9:23, 24)
What do I do now?
Realize you need God…
Open your heart to God, and
make room for Him to come in…
(Psa. 10:4)
Jesus said, “apart from me
you can do nothing… (John 15:5)
He also said, “Behold I stand
at the door (of your heart) and knock…”

heart to you and fill your heart with what He has for you. (Prov. 1:22,23)

way…” (John 14:6)

between God and man… (I Tim. 2:5)
You need to repent (turn away
from sin and then turn to God)
What is repentance? (Acts
26:20,18)
Soon you will come to hate
evil (Prov. 8:13) once you have realized that:
Sin will only separate you
from God. (Isaiah 59:1,2; Eph.
4:18; Eph. 2:12-16,19)
Sin will eventually try to
destroy your life by keeping you in bondage, and making you a slave to sin… (II
Pet. 2:19; John 8:34; Rom. 6:11-14)
Sin will try to destroy those
around you by bringing hurt and pain to the ones who really love you, first
most to God. (Gen. 6:5,6)
THE GOSPEL…
In part the overall plan of
God for revealing Himself (His Love) to man. (Rom. 1:18-20)
It’s a free gift, offered to
any who is willing to receive.
(Eph. 2:8-9; John 1:11-12; I John 5:12; John 5:24)
It’s a salvation that begins
with you taking the first step into the promises of God for your life. God has
already done his part, He has provided the way.

| Prayer for Salvation...
Dear God,
I come before you and say that I believe that you are the one true and holy God. I choose to serve you forever, and I ask you to come into my heart and dwell within me. I repent (turn away) from my sins and ask you to wash them away with the power of your blood Jesus the Christ. Because I believe you died to pay the ultimate price for the dept of my sins to set me free from the bondages of sin (of death). Lord I pray that you send your Holy Spirit with "fire"and remove everything that seperates me from knowing you and break off every unclean ties, and strike down every dart of the enemy. I no longer want to live serving the enemy, but live for eternity serving the Almighty God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. I declare that on this day, enemy you have no more dominion in my life and I remove by the grace of God the judgement that you have placed on me. Jesus I pray that you give me clean hands and a pure heart, teach me to worship you in spirit and in truth walking in the light of your favor. From this day forward I serve the Lord and I am a Son/ Daughter of God. I am not a orphan, but a child of the Living God. No fear will I have, but the fear of the Lord my God. Amen (so be it).
