Are You Saved?

0 comments

"And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21)

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:9-10)


Getting saved is the most important event in anybody's life. It is therefore suprising that many church members are not saved, and are in need of a genuine salvation experience. They think that their good works saved them and keep them saved. They do not understand that it is by grace through faith that anyone is saved.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV).

"God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it" (Ephesians 2:8-9 NLT).


Still, others in the church today, who are genuinely saved, have very little understanding of the grace of God and faith given to them for their salvation and a victorious life. They are "always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth' (2 Timothy 3:7(NKJV), and having a form of godliness but denying its power" (2 Timothy 3:5 (NKJV).

Salvation is now! It is time for the church to wake up and receive the blessings God has prepared for us. If you are not saved or you doubt your salvation, simply pray the following prayer in faith, and Jesus will be your Lord!



Prayer of Salvation and Baptism in the Holy Spirit

Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. Your Word says, Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. I am calling on You now. I pray and ask Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord over my life according to Romans 10:9-10: "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead. I am now a Christian. I am a child of the Almighty God! I am saved!

You also said in Your Word, "If ye then being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" (Luke 11:13). I am asking You to fill me with the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, rise up within me as I praise God. I fully expect to speak with other tongues as You give me the utterance (Acts 2:4). In Jesus’ Name. Amen!

Thank God and praise Him for filling you with the Holy Spirit. Speak the words and syllables you receive, not in your own language, but the language given to you by the Holy Spirit. Open your mouth and use your own voice. The Holy Spirit will not force you to speak. Don’t be concerned with how it sounds. It is a heavenly language! It is your prayer language! Pray in tongues each day. You are now a born-again, Spirit-filled believer.

Glory to God!
Hallelujah!
