I Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 10But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
Who we are
God made us in His image and He is a Spirit. We are eternal spirit beings who have souls and currently live in a body. (Genesis 1:27, John 4:24, Hebrews 4:12)
Making Him Savior:
When we accept Jesus as the Son and tri-part being of God, Who died and rose again, we receive salvation. Once we accept Jesus as Savior, our spirits are made perfect because the Holy Spirit (God the Father, Son, & Spirit) comes to reside in our spirits. We are made righteous and, regardless of our actions, will go to heaven.
If you are ready to accept Him as your Savior, simply say, “God I confess my sins to you. I believe Your Son was crucified and rose up from the dead and because of that all of my past, present, and future sins have been forgiven. Thank You that I now get to spend eternity with You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
Making Him Lord (Knowing God’s Thoughts)
To make Christ the Lord of our lives is to decide to surrender our souls to Him. We choose to no longer accept the world’s twist on biblical principles, and choose to fully believe God, even if it’s not popular or doesn’t feel good to our flesh.
The BEST way to make Him Lord is to be led by His Spirit. While we receive His Spirit at salvation, it is a distinct on-going choice to be filled with and led by His Spirit. The benefits are endless as His Spirit is the Word of God catered to every situation in our lives. His Spirit will ALWAYS lead us down the optimal path for our future. To better discern His Promptings, we commune with Him through prayer, worship, reading and listening to His Word and Word-based teaching. Not because we have to, but because it helps our souls get on board with our Spirit-filled spirits. (Please note: the process of getting our flesh to submit to the Spirit is ongoing, but we continue on, not being discouraged by our shortcomings, but growing in our faith.)
If you are ready to make Him Lord and live out the abundant life God has for you, simply say, “Lord, fill me with Your Spirit and help me on this daily journey of following Your Lead. I pray that I easily distinguish Your Voice and always promptly obey as You direct me in every area of my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
