Today's Salvation Call 00:03:48
Let me just say this.
We've been talking a lot about the prophetic times in which we're living today.
That can't be denied.
We are living in prophetic times.
That in and of itself, what we've spoken of here today, ought to be impetus enough for you to know that, look, I've got to get right with the Lord, the Bible way, God's way, through Jesus Christ.
But regardless of the prophetic times we're living in, understand this.
We're only here for 60, 70, 80 short years, maybe 90 if we're blessed.
I mean, and it all goes by so quickly.
We are all going to have to answer back to the one that gave us breath and life.
We're going to have to answer back to our Creator for what we did with his offer of salvation through Jesus Christ.
And so today, perhaps the Holy Spirit of God is drawing you now.
Perhaps you in your spirit know that you must be right with your Creator.
And we are praying here for you right now.
There are people in this congregation right now before me that are praying for you.
And some of you are watching this right now, and the Holy Spirit of God is just drawing you.
And you get it.
You get it.
The lights are coming on.
The Holy Spirit of God is revealing to you the truth of what I'm saying and what has been said here today.
So I want you to hear this promise from God's Word.
Romans chapter 10, verse 9.
If you would confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, then you shall be saved.
And Romans 10, 13, just a few verses later, said, and whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord like that shall be saved.
Today can be the day of your salvation.
There's no magical formula.
There's no little set thing that you do or say, but the spirit of all of this, the heart of the word of God, the heart of the gospel, is to open your heart to God's heart, open your soul, your spirit to the Spirit of God himself, and to pray something like this.
And I'm going to pray, and I'm going to ask you to join with me in this prayer.
You can reach out, put your hand towards the presence of God, and you can say, Lord, today, today, I've heard your word.
I've heard your truth.
Today, Father, I believe that you are the Creator, the Lord, the only Lord God of the universe.
And today, I am confessing, I am repenting before you.
I am a sinner in need of salvation.
And I am willing to turn from my sin and to turn towards your offer of salvation in your Son, Jesus Christ, the only one who went to a cross, the only one who rose from the dead, the only one who did all of that according to prophecies from your word.
Father, I call out to you in repentance, confessing with my mouth Jesus is Lord.
And I believe with my heart and my soul and my spirit that Jesus died for me and rose from the grave alive.
And because he lives, I can live.
And so, I call upon you, Lord, save me.
Bring me into your kingdom life.
Cover me by the blood of your Son.
Use me for the glory of your kingdom.
I repent of my sin.
Ask For Salvation 00:01:51
And by the authority of your word, I ask you to save me.
And I ask you to save me by the blood of Jesus.
And I ask it in Jesus' name.
Pray that in your soul.
Even now, let those words, let those words rumble around in your spirit and in your soul.
Ask the Lord to save you.
Call upon Jesus Christ.
Confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord.
And you shall be saved.
Now, Father, I pray that you would honor this prayer, that you would honor these words.
And by your power, by your Holy Spirit, that you would draw unto those that you are calling by your Spirit right now.
Let them feel that warmth of your presence overshadowing them even this moment.
Speak your soul to their soul, your spirit to their spirit, that they are your child, that they belong to you now.
Give them now the strength, the courage, the power of your Holy Spirit to stand, to stand up a new creation in Jesus Christ, and now to engage and to become a part of the kingdom work that you are doing in these days.
Father, we'll trust all of that into your hand as you meet each need according to each person's life.
That is in your hand.
We thank you for allowing us to be the vehicle to be a representative of your kingdom in this precious moment that you've given us.
We lift this prayer up to you.
We lift this broadcast up to you.
We lift those that have been saved up to you in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ.
And all of God's people agreed and said.
Amen.
Amen.
Give the Lord a hand.
