A Real Salvation Prayer

Opening Prayer

OPENING PRAYER: Father God, let everyone who utters this prayer of salvation unto You, with a sincere heart, immediately feel the presence of Your Holy Spirit and equip them with the internal strength of conviction to stand tall for Your righteousness at all costs and even unto their human death. Verily I say unto You that this is Your expectation of their [and my] sincere heart. Edward

INSTRUCTIONS: Pray out loud and offer up to God Almighty outstretched arms and the following prayer, on your knees, in the privacy of your prayer closet [private room, alone], and with your sincere heart. Verily I say unto you that your soul will see eternal life in heaven upon the death of your earthly body if your heart is honest with God to the point that your behavior turns to His righteousness. Mark down the time, date, and place of this gift of your heart unto God, and feel free to share this moment when you committed to walking in God's ways with His priorities over your life.

Salvation Prayer

PRAY Heavenly Father, the only One and True God. You, who are also the Father and the only One and True God of my brother Jesus Christ whom You sent down as a living human sacrifice for the sins of all the humans in this earthly realm and world, hear this prayer from my sincere heart. This prayer comes from within the bowels of my spirit soul, and I fully understand that this is a one-way decision of my committed heart.

Father, I believe in Your only human begotten Son, Jesus Christ. I believe that You sent Christ down to this earth and that he became the human being Jesus Christ [Yashua] in the flesh, just like the flesh I have. I believe he had bones like I do, flesh like I do, and blood like I do. I believe that his body on the cross was no different from any other human body. I acknowledge Jesus Christ is the Son of God; he is not God.

Father, I believe he only spoke what You told him to say and did what You told him to do. I believe that he was the final and perfect blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of the sins of humanity. Father, I believe that includes my sins.

Lord, I fully acknowledge that by accepting Jesus Christ as my savior and brother, I am inviting his perfect spirit into my life to share this earthly body with me. Along with his spirit, I understand that You will also give me Your Holy Spirit and that You also will dwell within me.

I believe that the result of my sincere acceptance of this gift of Your Son is the Oneness I will share with You and him. Christ has taught me that I might live in perfect Oneness, Peace, and Joy with You and him. O Lord, this is genuinely the sincere desire of my heart. I no longer want to be spiritually alone.

Therefore, I accept the precious gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, and I repent of my past sins and sincerely regret every thought, action, behavior, or anything that was displeasing unto You. I understand that with the precious gift of Your Son, You expect me to live a righteous life for the rest of my days on this earth.

Such a life entails living up to Your expectations and obeying what You and Your Son taught us in Holy Scripture. Lord, I acknowledge that I cannot be perfect in and of myself. I realize that to be like Christ requires that I "practice righteousness" and avoid sin to the best of my ability. I acknowledge that to continue willfully to sin is an implicit rejection of the gift of Jesus.

I also acknowledge Father that there will be unintentional and unknown sins that will come in my life. I understand that You and Christ will cover those types of sin and serve as a guide to keep me on the narrow path to heaven.

Father, I acknowledge that Your Son is not a free pass on sins like many Christians believe. Therefore, when I realize I have sinned against You in any way, I promise to confess that sin immediately and to keep a short list of my missteps with You. I know You are faithful to forgive under such conditions, but I also realize that if any life is filled with such confessions, it will be a testimony of an insincere heart. I recognize Your instructions in Ezekiel 18 and that Jesus has not altered Your criteria for punishing sinners. Therefore, keep me under Your wings, O God, and give me a pure heart unto You.

Having said this, Father, I pray that you will dwell within me and help me be the man [or woman] you want me to be. I ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, whom I confess with my mouth that he came in the flesh as Your only begotten Son. I acknowledge with my heart that You expect righteousness, a new life with changed behavior that glorifies You.

Father, help me to be an instrument of Your will even as Christ was such an instrument. Let this day be the first day of the rest of my life, and help me to put away all offensive behavior and sin, which You hate. I pray in the name of Your only begotten and beloved human Son, Jesus. AMEN
