Salvation

Have you ever ‘waited’ for a phone call that could possibly change your life? Whether it is for an answer to a job interview or that sale that could change everything, what do you do? You treat that phone like a newborn baby. You keep it on you at all times and check it regularly, just in case it quits working. The longer you wait, the more desperate you get. Why do we do this?

Obviously, whoever you are waiting for to call is very important to you. The more time that passes, the more important it becomes to you. Why does time play such an important part? Because everything has an expiration date!

God is waiting on you to call Him! He sees the expiration date coming fast, but you haven’t called on Him yet. You might have done some things in the past that you are not proud of, but He’s still waiting on you! 2 Peter 3:9 says He’s waiting for YOUR sake. That means He loves you no matter what you have done.

The one thing I find so amazing about our God is that He forgives us. You just have to ask. Would you say this prayer out loud in faith and receive Jesus in your life today?

Father God, I come before you in the Name of Jesus. Your Word says, “Whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts 2:21, KJV) and “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” (Romans 10:9, NKJV).

Father God, I believe your Word is truth and I stand on it now. Please forgive me for all my sins and unrighteousness. Today I make Jesus my Lord and Savior and I believe God raised Him from the dead, and He is seated at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. Father I ask that you fill me with your Holy Spirit to guide and teach me as I walk this earth and grow spiritually (Luke 11:13; Luke 12:12). I thank You for making a place for me in Your Kingdom, please guide me in the direction that will eternally please You.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.
