Accepting The Lord Text



Song Playing is "Come Now is the Time"

In Christ Be:
Washed Clean, Made Pure & Living *HOLY*

Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

John 8:36
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Hi. I am so glad that you decided to visit this very special page, as a Christian myself, (Born Again Christian in 1997) I wanted to create a place for you to be able to come here on my sites to accept the Lord Jesus as your personal savior, if you choose to. Jesus loves us all; it does not matter what you look like, what you choose to wear, how young or old you are, what color or race you are, or what you have done wrong in the past, or what you are still doing,...the fact is plain and simple!
Jesus LOVES US ALL,
and he wants us to accept him
and let him help us..
Jesus will not cast anyone out.


I wanted to add some of my own testimony here on this page so that you can know the inner me, where I am coming from, and what God has done for me. God gives us personal testimonies to share
and to help others. I think, those of us that become saved and ask the Lord Jesus into our life and hearts and allow him to FULLY work in our lives, to clean everything up, no matter what we have done and put us on a straight path in our life: have a STRONG testimony to share with others and to bring them to know the Lord Jesus also. We ALL can bring others to know Jesus, no matter what kind of life we have had-Good or Bad.
When WE are at Our Worse,
Jesus Loves Us the MOST. Try and make HIM NOT Love You. It WON'T happen.

I went from a life of living in total SIN relying on drinking and drugs and running all over everywhere, except church. When I accepted Christ, HE has changed my life more than I could say and Blessed me with more than I have ever asked for. He WILL do that. We can NOT overcome things in this life and of this world on our own; there is NO way possible. I know I was living a life that was "Displeasing" to God. I felt him tugging on my heart. I am Thankful for the Lord Jesus loving me so much, just as he does each and every one of us. I too, remember the day that I was saved, and I want everyone in the whole world to know, just how Loving he is, and how much our Lord Jesus loves us and wants to save us from a life of sin. A life that is not going to get us anywhere, except constantly spinning in endless circles. I see others that are living a not so good life, relying on things of this world to get by..and take their pain away. All we are really doing, when we live this way, is ADDING to the problems. I admit, sometimes I think to myself, how could someone do that to themself? Especially when I see others drinking and using drugs.

Then the Lord gently reminds me: Remember how you used to live before you found me Melissa?

(Titus 3:3-7)- For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving diver lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

I Pray for those lost and hurting, that they to, will find and seek me, before it is to late. I do remember those days of my life, but that is ALL that they are is distant memories that I have chose to keep so I can be of help to others, I pray. The Lord took my life and repaired it, Piece by Piece and Bit by Bit. HE HAS MADE ME WHOLE. I am a new creation in Christ; the old is washed away. We are given a clean slate, as white as snow, when we accept Jesus in our hearts and into our life. I Thank the Lord for saving me and making me into what HE wanted. The Lord Jesus Christ is the biggest high I have EVER had,
and I still have.

When we say, Lord, USE ME as you will; mold me into what YOU want ME to be: he REALLY DOES do that! AMEN. In church, if you have ever gone, I know in all the churches we have gone to; the preacher always asks at the END of the service, if anyone does NOT know the Lord and would like to accept Jesus in their heart to please pray the Salvation Prayer. They do NOT ask at the beginning who does NOT know the Lord and ask them to leave the service if they do NOT accept Jesus. We should want everyone to hear the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ the Lord, and the more you hear it, and the more you learn; one day you WILL be ready to accept Jesus in your heart and begin walking with the Lord. The Lord Jesus does not just pick selective people to come to his kingdom and know him and hear the good news. If you have strayed away from Christ, you can rededicate your life to HIM. He is right there waiting for you.
YOU are his child and he LOVES YOU.
We are each different. If the Lord wanted us to be the same, he would of created us that way, like robots. He needs many vessels doing many different things.
JESUS DOES NOT CAST ANYONE OUT.


I open my heart to all as a friend. I have never judged or held it against anyone ( A Family member, a Loving Friend, or a Stranger ) who does not believe as I, nor shut anyone out of my life (unless I am led to believe and proven that it is someone that is really not a good person and who is not trying to change their life for the better) However, I DO take the Holy Bible as the ONLY Doctrine to follow. No "Human" should Add or Take Away from GODS WORDS.
{Know Them By Their "Fruits" An Evaluation of Behavior}

John 7:24- Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgement.

Just because some-one does not know the Lord, doesn't mean they are a "bad" person. We ALL should be bringing others to Christ. If your here and accept the Lord as Your Saviour, YOU can begin to "Share the Good News" with others and lead them to Christ Jesus. I know that we are NOT all "Gifted" Or "Called" to be a
Preacher, Pastor, Evangelist etc..
We ALL have a Spiritual Gifting (Romans 1:11)
God has placed different Spiritual Gifts in each of us
(Romans 12)However,
We can ALL Proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to others, in our own way. USE YOUR TESTIMONY. Your Testimony is "YOURS" It is supposed to be shared and bring others to Jesus Christ. There are people out there that ONLY YOU are going to meet and know and be able to touch with the
Love of GOD.

No-one else would ever make me feel any different about my Beliefs and having the Lord in my life. I am not perfect and never will be, and I do not expect others to be. We all sin and fall short of the Glory of God every day. We never stop growing in the Lord.

I have learned it's not good to concentrate on the faults that others have, but rather, find the good things about them and build them up. Be a friend to them and support them wherever they may be at that time in their life.(I am Thankful for those that have been this kind of friend to me in my life).
Looking at the areas we need work on comes in time. When we deal with those things and work to change them with the HELP of Our Lord Jesus, we are FULLY a well rounded person that is transformed into the mind of Christ.
Its through the trials and mistakes I have made in my life that I have learned from. God always forgives us when we ask his forgiveness. When we strive to change and correct our shortcomings and learn from them. God loves us no matter what. For he knows where each of our hearts are at and what our true intentions are.

I know that for most of us, as I have learned from many others as well, when you suffer a tradgedy in your life and hardships, and many other reasons that others personally go through, it sometimes becomes very, very easy to loose your faith and trust in the Lord, but the Lord does have a purpose for everything. It was when I put my faith and trust back in him and became saved was when my life changed. Knowing that God was there made it so much better and easier, giving all of my burdens to him, instead of trying to carry burdens alone. God will see you through every trial and every storm (just as Job had in the Bible: troubles and storms) he never leaves us alone. Have Faith and trust in him. We are not free from Trials and Storms, but we do HAVE a wonderful GOD to carry us over every mountain! I know, personally for me, with my brother passing away at the age of 20, it really shook my faith and made me wonder for a short period, would God do this? Actually through personal trials and knowing what I have learned: it is God who is there to pick up the pieces. All that we have to do is fully let him. God certainly does not need to create trauma in our lives, just to get our attention.
HE CAN TAKE THE BAD AND MAKE IT WORK FOR OUR GOOD.

Genesis 50:20- But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.


After giving my life to him, I do know all of the wonderful things that God ALONE is able to do in your life. It is not always easy, and it requires work on your part also, but God will help you every step of the way. Help you to be able to forgive (not only others but forgiving yourself for things in your life), and trust, love, and help others like you never have before. I would love for you to be able to know The Lord. God fills you as no-one or nothing else can. He is what makes your life complete. He will shower you with Blessing's in your due season(s). Pray to God always during troubles. Even in times things in your life are going wonderful, Thank Him for the Blessings. Listen Faithfully and Obey. With God ALL things are possible to those who believe. I do not need to know if you visited this page, nor do I personally need to know if you accepted Jesus as your own personal savior. If you would like to share, I would love to hear from you!.
* If you need Prayer

With You.

It is my prayer, that you will accept Jesus (the Son of God) and continue to grow in him always.

John 6:37
Him that cometh to me
I will in no wise cast out

Come. Now is the time to give YOUR HEART.

Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Philippians 2:10,11
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.


SALVATION PRAYER:
Please make an effort to speak these words from the very depths of your being and with all of your heart. When you are finished, you will be born again.
We are NOT to go by our OWN feelings.
We are to go by WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT US.

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, I present myself to you
I pray and ask Jesus to be the Lord over my life.
I believe it in my heart, so I say it with my mouth:
"Jesus has been raised from the dead."
This moment, I make him the Lord over my life.
Jesus, come into my heart.
I believe at this moment that I am saved.
I say it now: " I am reborn.
I am a Christian.
I am a child of Almighty God."

Now, please Thank God for making you his child.
Colossians 1:12 says,
"Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light."
You have just inherited the Kingdom of God.

Jehovah Yeshua ha Maschia (HE is Your Savior)



Ephesians 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Since many people have emailed this question to me, I decided to add the answer here.

If you are feeling unsure about whether you are Saved or not, It is normal to feel unsure about your Salvation at first. However, you ARE saved, reguardless of your own feelings.

Ephesians 2:4,5 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

As you grow in Jesus, you will learn more and more about HIM and all of HIS wonderful ways and ALL of the many Blessings HE ALONE HAS for YOU! I Thank Him Now, and I Pray that you will find a church home and continue your walk with HIM.

Don't go by your own feelings. All is washed away...your sins, past. Now, you have the Promises of the Lord Jesus in YOUR Life.

Thank you so much for visiting this very special page. I Pray that you will get into a
Bible Teaching, Spirit Filled church and Continue to be Fed the Word of God.

Five Fold Ministry
Ephesians 4:11
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

There are also some wonderful online Christian groups
and Prayer groups on the web
(Church is the BEST place to receive the teaching of Gods Word. Church is Where You can be in "Personal" Fellowship with Other Christians)

Have A Very Blessed Day!!
Share the Great news if you are a born again Christian!
God Bless You.
