Sweet Wind Of Praise Christian Fellowship
First of all, God Loves You!
The Bible says, "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" John 3:16
Yet, we like sheep, have wandered away . . .
Since all of us have either said, done and thought things that are wrong. This is what sin is, and our sins have separated us from God.
The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Rom. 3:23
God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says that “The wages of sin is death.” Rom. 6:23
The good news is that, over 2,000 years ago, Jesus died on a cross for YOU.
The Power for Spirit Filled Living - Holy Spirit Baptism
One of the benefits of being baptized in the Holy Spirit is being able to pray in tongues. You do the speaking and the Holy Spirit gives you the utterance. It is a language you have never learned before; it is the Holy Spirit praying through your spirit. Also, you are eligible to receive any of the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12-14). The whole purpose of the baptism in the Holy Spirit is to equip you to be a powerful witness for the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 1:8)! Get ready, you are going to be used in such a powerful way for God's Glory!
"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?" Luke 11:13 KJV
"But ye shall receive power, AFTER that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Acts 1:8 KJV
"He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost SINCE ye believed?" Acts 19:2a KJV
Pray this prayer out loud, and mean it with your whole heart!
Heavenly Father, You said in Your Holy Word that You would give the Holy Spirit to those who ask. I'm asking You now to baptize me with the precious Holy Spirit, so that I may be a powerful witness of Your Son Jesus. I receive the Holy Spirit now! I expect to speak in other tongues as the Holy Spirit gives me the utterance. I now receive every blessing You have for me in the mighty Name of Jesus! Amen!
That God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ to die for our sins.
Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.”Rom. 5:8
Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life -- of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me." John 14:6
God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name." John 1:12
You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life and make him your Lord and Savior.
4. If you want to accept Christ as Savior and turn from your sins, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:
God, I am a sinner. I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came in the flesh. I believe with all of my heart that Jesus Christ died on the cross to take the punishment for my sins, and to cleanse me of my sins with His precious blood. I believe Jesus Christ Your Son arose from the dead for my justification and that I may have eternal life.
I now confess Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Thank you Heavenly Father for saving me, in Jesus' Name...Amen!!!
Welcome to the family of God! The next steps are: to receive the Holy Spirit Baptism, get baptized in water, and to get connected with a Spirit-filled Bible believing church that will help you grow spiritually.
