Why am I here?
Have you ever asked yourself this question?
Do you wonder what your real purpose in life is?
Is it just to survive or make the best of life and then die?
A Beautiful Plan!
It Got Messed Up!
Unfortunately, this beautiful plan got all messed up when Adam and Eve sinned against God in the Garden. It put in motion a curse on the land and brought only pain and wounding to everyone on the earth. Through wars, famines, pestilence, poverty, natural disasters, and other calamities the pain and wounding has been passed on from generation to generation up to our present time. None of us has been immune from the effects of this wounding on our life, some less so than others. The pain and hurt in our lives have quenched the love, hope, and joy and our hearts have died. We have tried to medicate the pain through the false lovers of addictions, being sexually active, power, jobs, status, wealth, position, hyper activity, and religion that only leave us empty with no real purpose to life. We just try to survive to the next day.
But Father's Love Made a Way!
But our Heavenly Father knew that we would find ourselves in this difficult state of being and provided a way out, a way back into His love, joy, and peace. He loved us too much to leave us in this despair and depression, uncertain of what our purpose in life is. He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die in our place, to pay the price and buy us back from the penalty of sin. The work was finished over 2,000 years ago on the cross and all the heavenly Father is asking you to do is believe that Jesus did it for you! Jesus paid the price to set us free from all the bondage and false lovers, to deliver us from our sinful nature, to heal all the wounds, carry all the pains, and give us a hope and a future that is good. Father God has put before us a simple choice, life or death (eternal separation from Him).
Father God is knocking on the door of your life right now.
He is inviting you to come into a new relationship with Him and become part of His family. Just say this prayer out loud and believe in your heart that Jesus died and was raised from the dead just for you!
Dear Heavenly Father,
I ask you to forgive me of my sins, cleanse me of all unrighteousness, adopt me as Your (son/daughter), and be my Father from this day forward. I ask You to bring healing to all the wounded areas of my life, put together all the broken pieces, and restore me to wholeness through the finished work of the cross. As I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord of my life and believe in my heart that Christ was raised from the dead, by faith I am saved now. I make Jesus Savior and Lord of my life right now and I will walk with Him the rest of the days of my life. In Jesus Name, Amen.
How to Begin a Relationship with Jesus Christ
If you just prayed this prayer, then there are some things that you can start doing to help you walk out the reality of your salvation in Christ Jesus.
1. To help solidify your decision in your spirit, you need to tell somebody what you did. You can go to our contact us page and send us an e-mail and we will send you some additional information. Or you can tell a friend or family member.
2. Start to get to know you Heavenly Father by making it a daily habit to read the Bible, His Word to you. I would recommend starting with the four books of the New Testament to learn more about this Jesus that you just made Lord of your life. Read is slowly and ask Father to show you what He wants you to see and learn.
3. Spend time each day in prayer, worship, and fellowship with your Heavenly Father. Spend part of the time just being quiet and let Him speak to you and fill you with His love. Draw near to Him and He will become more real to you.
4. Get involved in a local body of believers that focus on His Word and His unconditional love for us.
5. Continue to receive His love and look for opportunities to give His love away to others who you will come in contact with during the day.
6. Be aware of His presence all day long and expect good things to happen to you with the favor of the Lord!!
