Receive Jesus as Your Savior
John 3:16-17 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."
Choosing to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is the most important decision you'll ever make!
God's Word promises, "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. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9-10) "For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13) By His grace, God has already done everything to provide salvation. Your part is simply to believe and receive.
​
Pray out loud: "Jesus, I acknowledge that I've sinned and need to receive what you did for the forgiveness of my sins. I confess that You are my Lord and Savior. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me."

Receive the Holy Spirit
Jesus said in John 14:26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." And in John 16:13 "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth..." Then in Acts 1:4-8, after Jesus was resurrected, he reminds the Disciples to wait "...for you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now" . . . "you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
​
As His child, your loving heavenly Father wants to give you the supernatural power you need to live a new life. "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened . . . how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!" (Luke 11:10-13) All you have to do is ask, believe, and receive!
​
Pray this out loud: "Father, I recognize my need for Your power to live a new life. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit. By faith, I receive Him right now. Holy Spirit, You are welcome in my life. Lead me, guide me, teach me and counsel me. Thank you heavenly Father for baptizing me now in your Holy Spirit."
​
When the Disciples were baptized in Acts 2:4 "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." Verse 11 explains that the people who were gathered around, heard the Disciples "speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God."
​
Some syllables from a language you don't recognize will rise up from your heart to your mouth (1 Corinthians 14:14). As you speak them out loud by faith, you're releasing God's power from within and building yourself up in the spirit (1Corinthians 14:4). You can do this whenever and wherever you like. You are allowing the Holy Spirit within you to pray through you. (Romans 8:26-27)
​
It doesn't really matter whether you felt anything or not when you prayed to receive the Lord and His Spirit. If you believed in your heart that you received, then God's Word promises you did. Mark 11:24 "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." God always honors His Word - you can believe it!
