Take Action

Read pages 333-340 of Stephen Canup’s book, "Knowing Jesus Intimately: A Relationship of Love-motivated, Spirit-empowered Obedience," which is available for free reading in Pando Books and Edovo.

Takeaway Highlight

"The Real Thing” has nothing to do with “religion.” Rather, it is an

intimate personal relationship with our Heavenly Father, because

of the finished work of Jesus at the Cross. The Holy Spirit comes and

seals us as His very own, and begins an ongoing work in us to conform

us to the image of Christ Jesus.

You can begin this exciting and abundant life today. It will continue

throughout all eternity.

First, acknowledge and confess that you have sinned against God.

Second, renounce your sins – determine that you are not going back

to them. Turn away from sin. Turn to God.

Third, by faith receive Christ into your heart. Surrender your life completely

to Him. He will come to live in your heart by the Holy Spirit. You can do th

right now.

Salvation Prayer Example

Start by simply talking to God. You can pray a prayer like this:

“Oh God, I am a sinner I’m sorry for my sin I want to turn from my

sin Please forgive me I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son; I believe

He died on the Cross for my sin and You raised Him to life I want

to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord from this day

forward, forevermore Lord Jesus, I put my trust in You and surrender

my life to You Please come into my life and fill me with your Holy

Spirit In Jesus’ Name Amen ”

If you just said this prayer, and you meant it with all your heart, we

believe you just got Saved and are now Born Again in Christ Jesus as

a totally new person.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has

gone, the new has come!” (II Corinthians 5:17)

Baptism in the Holy Spirit

Abba Father and my Lord Jesus,

Thank you for giving me your Spirit to live inside me I am saved by

grace through faith in Jesus I ask you now to baptize me in the Holy

Ghost with Your fire and power I fully receive it through faith just

like I did my salvation Now, Holy Spirit, come and rise up within me

as I praise God! Fill me up Jesus! I fully expect to receive my prayer

language as You give me utterance In Jesus’ Name,  Amen.
