SAY THIS PRAYER

Dear Lord Jesus Christ:
Have mercy on me a sinner, I confess my sins I am not proud of them, but acknowledge them as sin. I thank You for dying for me and arising from the dead for me. I am a person in need of forgiveness. I ask You to forgive me and cleanse me from my unrighteousness. Make me the person You want me to be, the person You have purposed me to be from the beginning of time. Right now, I turn from my sin`s and open the door of my heart and life.

Lord Jesus, I accept You as my personal Saviour. Thank You for saving every personal area of struggle in my life. I rejoice that Your blood cleanses me from my sin, and thank You for filling me with the strength of Your Holy Spirit. I dedicate my life to You and vow to live every day according to Your word. Thank You for giving me a second chance. As Your Spirit and word reign in my life, I rise up above my past, I rise up above my dilemmas, and I rise up to serve You the rest of my life, In Jesus mighty name. AMEN.

basis:
First read through the Gospel of Luke, a chapter a day. This will help you understand the basic facts about the Gospel.
Then read Acts, for the exiting story of how Christ's first disciples spread the Good News of His death and resurrection.
Next read some of the letters that Christ's apostles wrote to these first disciples�. All of whom were new in their faith, just like you. These letters include Romans through 3 John. Then, go back and read one of the other Gospels: Mathew, Mark or John.
Pray daily.Talk with God often. Talk over

your problems with Him. Let Him bear the weight of your troubles. (See Mathew 11:28; 1 Peter 5:7)

Praise and thank God for who He is and for what He has done for you.
Admit your weaknesses. Confess
each specific sin that you are aware of. Pray for others that they, too, may receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
Suggestions for your daily devotional time:
Plan a definite time, preferably in the morning when your mind is fresh and rested. Make it a habit. Select a quite place where you can be alone with God. Make a list of requests for others as well as yourself.
Read and meditate on a portion of Scripture, then

spend time in prayer. Commit the day and yourself to God.
