STEPS TO START A NEW LIFE WITH CHRIST JESUS

HOW TO START A NEW LIFE WITH JESUS

YOU ARE LOVED

God loves YOU and desires for you to live a life filled with hope, peace, and purpose.  No matter where you've been or what you've done God's love reaches you right where you are.

 “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
John 3:17 

Being saved means receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
Jesus took your place, paid the price for sin, and rose again so you could be forgiven and made new.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16

 The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift — received by faith.

“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Romans 10:9–10
 

If you are ready to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, pray this prayer sincerely from your heart:

Heavenly Father,
I come to You in the name of Jesus.
I know that I have sinned and that I need Your forgiveness.
I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins and rose from the dead.

 I repent of my sins and ask You to forgive me.
Jesus, I receive You as my Lord and Savior.
Come into my heart and make me new.
Thank You for saving me.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
 

✨ If you prayed this prayer, you are now saved.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.”
2 Corinthians 5:17
 

Here are simple steps to help you grow in your new life with Christ:

1. Read the Bible daily – start with the Gospel of John (John 1:12)
    
2. Pray every day – talk to God like a loving Father (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
    
3. Get connected to a Bible-teaching church (Hebrews 10:25)
    
4. Be baptized as an outward sign of your faith (Acts 2:38)
    
5. Tell someone about your decision to follow Jesus (Matthew 10:32)
    

God promises to fill His children with the power of the Holy Spirit so we can live victoriously and walk in faith.

“You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.”
Acts 1:8
 

If you desire to be filled with the Holy Spirit, you can ask God now.

Heavenly Father
I thank You that I am Your child and that Jesus is my Lord.
Your Word says that if I ask, I will receive.
So I ask You now to fill me with the Holy Spirit.
I receive by faith and thank You for empowering me to live for You.
Holy Spirit, guide me, strengthen me, and lead me into truth.

 In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Why It’s Important for Believers to Pray in Tongues.

#1: When you pray in tongues, you pray directly to God from your spirit. This is your own personal prayer language which you can use to pray and communicate with God.

1 Corinthians 14:2: “For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit.”

#2: When you pray in tongues, you are spiritually edified and strengthened.

1 Corinthians 14:4: “He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself...”

#3: When you pray in tongues, you magnify and praise God from your spirit.

Acts 10:46: “For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.” (NKJV)

John 4:23–24: “Yet a time is coming and has come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth...”

#4: When you pray in tongues, you pray Spirit-directed prayers. The Holy Spirit directs your prayers according to God’s perfect will.  You pray as led by the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:26–27: “...the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.”

5 Steps to Receive the Baptism of the Spirit with the Evidence of Speaking in Tongues.

#1:You must first be born again (See John 3:3 and Acts 2:38).

#2: You must believe that this precious gift—this promise—is for you.

Acts 2:39: “The promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”

Acts 2:17–18: “In the last days, God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.’”

#3:You must desire the gift of the Spirit.

John 7:37–39: “...Jesus stood and cried out, saying, ‘If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’ But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; because the Holy Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.” (NKJV)

#4: You must ask for it.

Luke 11:13: “If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

#5: You must do the speaking.

Acts 2:4: “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit enabled them.”  Also, see Is. 28:11-12.

TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

After Jesus Christ was raised from the dead and before He ascended into heaven, He left us this promise:  “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.  And you shall be My witnesses…[throughout] the earth” (Acts 1:8).  The Holy Spirit is the One who endures us with power for our Christian walk and to do the works of Jesus (John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.)

God has already sent the Holy Spirit.  He came to earth on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2).  Now it is up to you to receive Him into you life.  Once you are born again, you can receive the power of the Holy Spirit just as you received Jesus-by faith in God’s WORD.  All you must do is ask Him.  Jesus said, “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?” (Luke 11:13).  The Holy Spirit will empower you with God’s own power!  You need His power working in you-ask Him now.

PRAYER TO BE FILLED  WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

My heavenly Father, I am a believer.  I am Your child, and You are my Father.  Jesus is my LORD.  I believe with all my heart that Your WORD is true.  Your WORD says that if I will ask, I will receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, so in the Name of Jesus Christ my LORD I am asking You to fill me to overflowing with your precious Holy Spirit.  Baptize me in the Holy Spirit.  Because of Your WORD, I believe that I now receive, and I thank You for it.  I believe that the Holy Spirit is within me, and by faith I accept Him.  Now, Holy Spirit, rise up within me as I praise my God.  I fully expect to speak with other tongues as You give me the utterance.
