There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. (Proverbs 16:2)
Coming to God is the first step of being led by the Spirit. The natural man has no need for God because it is his spiritual nature of Satan’s Self-program which is called SIN or Satan In Nature. The natural man wants to be his own god, do his own will, go his own way and live for SELF. He is satisfied being filled with his own devices. (Proverbs 1:31) If you had an invisible all-powerful Genie hanging out with you every day, telling you what to do and where to go to learn the secrets of prosperity, you would probably pay more attention wouldn’t you? You probably wouldn’t want to miss out on all that power. Well, the Bible says, if we come to God, He will not only get involved in our lives, but He will save us from Satan’s dominion and powers of death, and while you are on earth, He will bless you with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places. (Matthew 11:28, Ephesians 1:3) That is eternal security. We talk about it in great detail in our book “You Can Be A Son, Secret of Eternity.” God is with us always, even unto the end of the world, but if we can’t hear His voice, it won’t benefit us much and if we don’t know He is with us we will just think we were a huge success. A few minutes on earth might satisfy a few ignorant people but really, losing eternal life in Heaven is a big deal. (1 Corinthias 6:9-20)
Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? (Ezekiel 33:11)
Just like God spoke these words to the nation of Israel, He now speaks the same message to the whole world. He has made it possible for us to live forever so “why will you die?” Nothing gives God more pleasure than revealing Himself to us and becoming a part of our life. God will let us go our own way so we can live for SELF if that is what we want, but God can do more in thirty seconds than we can do in our whole lives. Yet how many of us allow God to supervise our events, guide us in our plans, teach us in all our ways so that we can succeed and not fail, win and not lose, and prosper in all we do as we walk with God forever? This is just part of the overall theme of the Bible. It says, there is a way that seems right unto man (the natural man), but the end thereof, are the ways of death. (Proverbs 14:12)
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death. (Proverbs 14:12)
That phrase, the ways of death, is profound. It is a clue about our natural state. God is our heavenly father and we are His kids, but as natural humans we can’t walk with God the way we are because our nature is wrong. As a natural man, we live to be our own gods. That is a way of death. This spiritual nature has been passed down to us all from Adam through the bloodlines of our fathers. We grow up as children thinking it is normal to live for self without God. We think that God is just a figment of our imagination so we walk in our natural ways of death and in the confidence of SELF. Everything seems right, but it isn’t. (Proverbs 14:12) Did you notice in this passage of scripture, it begins with a way, and ends with the ways? The striking thing is it seems right but ends bad forever. That isn’t what God wants and neither do we..
Turn you at my reproof: Behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you; I will make known my words unto you. (Proverbs 1:23)
Our way of life in the natural man is the way of ways of living life without God. It seems right becasue that is the spiritual nature every huma is born with thanks to Adam. If you are going by what seems right, then you are not being led of the Spirit of God. What is God saying to us when He says, “a way that seems right but it ends in the ways of death?” Learning about the ways of death and it will open your eyes forever. So, what does this mean? It means there is a way of life that doesn’t include God and it produces the ways of death. I call it the S.E.L.F-Program, which stands for Satan’s Everlasting Love of Folly. The Bible teaches that Satan is the god of this world. He was given dominion over planet earth by Adam. Jesus came to take back the dominion. Through His death on the cross and His resurrection, He has defeated Satan and now all dominion in Heaven and earth belongs to Christ. That benefits us in our lives when we receive Christ in our hearts. The rest of our life is a journey with a wonderful God into Eternity. In the natural man, my way is perfectly natural and it seems right, but without God, it isn’t blessed. Anything you do without God may yield immediate results, but it isn’t blessed. Anything God does is blessed and it continues on forever. This is also part of the theme of the Bible. Have you ever thought to yourself, I just knew that would work but it failed big time? It happens all the time. When the human is led only by his thoughts, without God’s participation, he is doomed to fail, even though the event succeeds. This is the way of Cain. Just practicing the act of doing something without God is a complete failure. It is part of the ways of death that is under the curse of death that is upon the whole world. That is another lesson of the Bible.
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)
God doesn’t want anyone to fail. God wants everyone to live, to win in life and live forever. Yep, another BIG lesson of the Bible! However, it is human nature to live for SELF and in this framework of life, failure is inevitable. Even in our success, without God, failure is in the process of happening and somewhere down the line failure will be the result. The worst part is that our natural way of life ends in the ways of death. The ultimate failure is to be a big success and then die without God. That is failure forever. God uses the phrase, should not perish to describe His deliverance from what is the end of that SELF-life. God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Himshould not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16). God doesn’t want one soul to perish. The ways of death are all the ways of living life without God and only for SELF. For every human it seems right, but it ends in death.
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? And what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Matthew 16:26)
The only thing you truly have that belongs to you and nobody else is your soul and the only thing you have to give in exchange for your soul is your time. You have only so much time in this world to produce for God, but most will only produce for themselves and for the world. The Bible says you can gain the whole world, but if you lose your soul you have lost everything. Your soul is valuable to God. Your soul has eternal significance. God hints this fact to us all throughout the Bible. That is why Jesus left Heaven and came to earth to give His life as a ransom for you. To God your soul is the greatest treasure in the universe. God has done everything for you so you come to know Him and go to Heaven to live with Him forever. Yet the warning is clear. God has done it all for you. Even though God has written the Bible for you so you can come to understand the difference between the parallel worlds that exist, most people will be lost. Even though God sent His Son from Heaven to to earth to fix the death problem at great cost, many will perish. Though you may accomplish every dream and gain it all, if you lose your soul, you will lose it all. The answer to God’s question is this, the only thing you can give in exchange for your soul is your time. Everything that you can see above ground came out of the ground and will return to the ground, however God gave your soul to you and you only have so much time to prepare your soul for eternity. Our whole life on earth is only a few minutes in eternity.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (1 Corinthians 2:14)
Here is one of the keys to understanding the Bible. In this passage, the human without God is called the natural man. The natural man won’t receive the things of the Spirit because they are foolishness unto him. The natural man lives by his five senses. The most that the natural man can understand through sense knowledge is the fact that the world is good and evil because of human nature. The whole world system is built on human nature. It is human nature to live by sense knowledge, which produces good and evil in the human. We are born to live for SELF and we go by the five senses, what we see, hear, touch, smell and taste and so on. (Psalm 51:5) We are born that way. The natural man, living life without God, is the lowest form of human life. It is the SELF-life growing and maturing in all its glory. You can see certain traits of the natural man even in a toddler. (Psalm 58:3) You might see twin toddlers fighting over the bottle. Disobedience is the big one. the Bible says the whole world lives by the spirit of disobedience. (Ephesians 2:2) Toddlers naturally disobey. They don’t know what they are doing. They just jump to do what they are going to do. (Luke 23:34) As we grow up we develop into cute little children who are learning to live by the ways of death. It’s a “me first” attitude. (Isaiah 53:6) As we mature into teenagers, the natural man becomes me first and nobody else. (Mark 13:12) Hey, it doesn’t stop there. You see full-grown humans in politics that will strangle each other in congress and the lies are like flies lighting on everyone. (Romans 3:13) Whole countries will get mad enough to threaten the whole planet. (Luke 21:10) That is the natural man in all his glory, yet it starts with the babes. The last thing parents want to hear when the baby is born is, “Congratulations Parents! You just had a baby sinner!”
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men and the weakness of God is stronger than men. (1 Corinthians 1:25)
The Bible says, “the natural man” is of the earth, earthy.” (1Corinthians 15:47-48) It is natural to be a natural man. That is the way we are born. Yet we can’t go to Heaven in the natural man. (Romans 3:10-18) Our nature is wrong. Can’t you tell? Or will you just deny this fact and call yourself a good person or an unbeliever or atheist? Do you get my point? The whole “new age, new world ordergroup” will believe man is basically good and we are all ascending to a higher level, but you have to be blind, deaf, dumb or dishonest to believe that. The only thing the human race is ascending to is a higher level of evil. We have the greatest amount of technology now than at any time in history and the nature of man is more evil than ever. (Genesis 6:13) The natural man will do all kinds of evil things, and spiritual things are just foolishness unto him because he can’t hear, see, touch, smell or taste spiritual things. Spiritual things are as high above the natural man as the heavens are above the earth to him. Neither can he know spiritual things because God reveals them to us only when we become a spiritual man. (1Corinthians 2:14)
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. (1Corinthians 3:19)
God doesn’t think like humans. Our wisdom is foolishness unto Him. Humans, families, cultures and nations do all kinds of stupid stuff, but God’s foolishness of saving the wicked is a greater wisdom than anything we can accomplish through our good works. God says in this passage of scripture, I will be foolish enough and weak enough to undo the curse upon your life if you will allow me to. (Psalm 103:4) God sent Jesus to make that possible. The power of God is foolishness unto the natural man but the weakness of God is love, and He has made the power of God available unto men so they can become a spiritual man. (Hosea 13:14) God is God and there is no other. (Psalm 100:3)
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, its pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. (1 Corinthians 1:19-21)
God decided there would come a time when He will destroy what brings destruction to His universe. It wasn’t’ that way in the beginning. Adam and Eve knew about God in the beginning. They walked in fellowship with God in the Garden of Eden. This is one of the first lessons of the Bible. Then a great catastrophe occurred that affected the whole human race. They believed Satan’s lie and obeyed him rather than God. Adam and Eve changed gods in the Garden. They believed Satan’s lie over God’s word and they obeyed Satan rather than God. Their spiritual nature changed and was passed on to all their unborn children and the curse of death came upon the whole universe. (1 John 5:19) That one act of obedience to Satan was an act of disobedience to God and it affected the whole human race. In our book, “Secret of Eternity” I explain how this historical event affected you and me and every human ever born. It is completely natural, yet spiritual, and just learning this one truth will affect your whole life. God decided He would fix the death problem. God is pleased to give His message to truth seekersand believers who can share it with others. As ministers, we talk about these things and God calls it preaching. I do more teaching than preaching but this article is an example of how I preach and teach. Jesus did the same things. He talked to us about God. He revealed God to be the Heavenly Father. He commanded us to repent (change the way we think in our minds and feel in our hearts). (Mark 1:15, Luke 13:3) He said we must come to Him by faith. (Mark 9:23) He said all things are possible with God. (Luke 18:27) He said, “Whosoever believes in Him shall be saved.” (Acts11:14 Romans 10:13)
I am the door: by me if any man enters in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. (John 10:9)
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (Mark 16:16)
Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved. (Acts 11:14)
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
God made it simple. All you have to do is believe. (John 3:16 Romans 10:14) The words of this blog are technically “preaching.” When you listen to God’s foolishness as He speaks through the preacher, all you have to do is believe and God says He will save you. Man became doomed by believing Satan’s words and man is saved by believing God’s words. God wants to save you. Jesus conquered death for us so we could be saved. (Hebrews:14 1John3:8) The Bible makes it clear. Everyone that believes in Jesus Will Be Saved. 1 Timothy 2:4) How will you respond? (James 2:20)
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man, which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. (1 Corinthians 2:9-11)
What God wants to show you is beyond the five senses. (Jeremiah 33;3 You can’t even imagine the things of the Spirit. Isa.55:9 God wants to reveal these things to you. (Romans 1:17) God created you for Himself and for His purposes. What God has to offer you is a billion times better than your best efforts. God reveals Himself to us by His Spirit in our hearts. (1Corinthians 2:10) The knowledge of God is not the kind of knowledge that comes through the five senses, but it is a heart knowledge. (Romans 11:33, 1Corinthians 15:34)
The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly. (Proverbs 20:27)
The belly represents the center of your being within your heart. God wants you to know truth and He reveals these things to you by His Spirit in your heart. (Ephesians 1:17, 4:13) Your spirit is the candle of the Lord and your heart is the wick of your candle. Until your wick is lit and your heart is burning with passion towards God, the light of the glory of God will not shine in you, and you will never be satisfied because God created you for Himself. Your heart instinctively knows nothing can separate you from the love of God and it will never satisfied until it makes contact with God and it knows you are safe forever. (1Corinthians 15:55)
Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:6-9)
This passage of scripture says a lot. It says you only have so much time to find Him. Because you are still alive at this moment, the Lord is still near you. You can’t even breathe your next breath without Him. (Genesis 2:7 Acts17:25) Notice it says you must seek Him and you must call upon Him. That is where eternal life begins. It goes on to say the wicked man has to forsake his way and the unrighteous man has to forsake his thoughts. Those are the two driving forces in the natural man, his ways and his thoughts. Those who live for their own way are wicked even though they may be pretty or nice, and those who are led by their thoughts are unrighteous, even though they appear to be religious. Without God we are wicked on the outside and unrighteous on the inside. The tendency of human nature is to live for SELF and nobody else and that isn’t the way things are in Heaven. That is the reason for all the evil in the world and all the wars on the planet. Then it says we must return to the Lord and He will be merciful and abundantly pardon you. God is good all the time and He loves every soul. God has made provision for everyone through His son Jesus Christ who has conquered death for us. Then it goes on to say, God’s thoughts are not our thoughts and God’s ways are not our ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth so are His thoughts and His ways much higher than our thoughts and our ways. In fact, His thoughts are so high to us we can’t even perceive God’s thoughts without the Spirit of God revealing them to us. (1Corinthians 2:10)
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. (2 Corinthians 6:17-18)
This passage of scripture says He will become your Heavenly Father and you will become His son or daughter. How do we do this? It says we must come out from among the natural men of the world and be separate unto Him the way husbands and wives are separate towards each other. God said He Will Receive YOU! Then it says you will become God’s sons and daughters. Does that sound strange to you? It is strange to the natural man, but heavenly things work just like earthly things. God had to do some things to make it possible for us to go from the natural man to the spiritual man. In our book I call it, “the Operation of God.”
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. (1 John 3:8)
The death problem is a problem man cannot solve that requires a supernatural solution only God can provide. God sent His only Son to destroy Satan’s powers of death over us and He has done that. This is the whole Bible in a nutshell. God is the creator and He did a fine job of creating the universe, but God is also good at recreating and He must recreate you if you are going to live and not die and then go to Heaven. He has promised to do just that if you will seek the LORD while He may be found and call upon Him while He is near. Right now, as you are reading He is drawing near to you. God wants to give you a new heart so you can be born again of His Spirit and become a spiritual man.
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh: (Ezekiel 11:19)
Come to God! Turn to the Lord! That is the first step to becoming a spiritual man. Every human is born a natural man and must be born again to become a spiritual man. The natural man will die but the spiritual man will live forever. God created you for that very purpose. God loves you and wants a relationship with you. God wants to put His Spirit in you so you can live and not die. If you will have relationship with Him, He will have fellowship with you the same way He did with Adam and Eve and all the heroes of the Bible. God says in this passage of scripture He will change your heart and put a new spiritin you. You are a spirit, you have a soul and you live in a body. (1Thessalonians 5:23) The part of you that gets born again is your spirit. God’s Spirit will quicken your spirit and you will become alive unto God. When you open your heart unto God and God quickens you in your heart, and this power affects you spirit, soul and body.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said unto Him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
(John 3:3-12)
Jesus taught us we must be born againor we cannot see or enter into the kingdom of God. Seeing and entering the Kingdom of God are the two phases of spiritual growth. Jesus said heavenly things work just like earthly things. In fact, earthly things are images of spiritual things. It’s like parallel worlds. The first time we are born, we are born of the flesh and that entitles us to rights in this world. That which gets born again is our spirit. The new birth is the rebirth of the human spirit, which entitles us to rights in God’s Spirit realm. The Bible says, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away and all things are become new. 2Cor.5:17 There is a saying that goes like this; He that is born once dies twice and he that is born twice dies once.Come to God with all your heart and you will be born againof God. After the new birth we learn to be led of the Spirit and have fellowship with God. He is with us always, but until the new birth we don’t realize God is with us. We just think things happen by chance or it is our destiny. After the new birth, we have a witness in our hearts that God is our father, that He is with us and we are going to Heaven. (1John 2:20, Romans 8:15)
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14)
After the new birth, life becomes a way of being led by His Spirit as we walk with God by faith, enjoying the goodness of God the presence of God and ultimately the power of God. Understanding God and how to be led by His Spirit is part of our inheritance in the spiritual man. Jesus said we shouldn’t marvel at the new birth. He even said that if we can’t understand Him when He uses natural things as examples, how will we understand Him when He is talking about spiritual things. That is how God reveals Himself to us. God doesn’t just do things. God does everything for His purpose. God never does anything without accomplishing His purpose. In everything God does He teaches something. God never does anything without teaching something. God uses natural things to reveal spiritual things, visible things to reveal invisible things and earthly things to reveal heavenly things. Natural birth is a good example of the rebirth of the human spirit. God’s greatest joy is in revealing Himself to us and watching us become born again as His children. Faith is the key. When you hear God’s words and believe, God’s power is released into our hearts. Faith is believing God’s word. Jesus said, “With man this is impossible, but all things are possible with God.” Jesus also said, “All things are possible with them that believe.” (Matthew 19:26, Mark 9:23, 10:27)
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him. (Acts 10:38)
In the natural man, we experience oppression of the devil, but in the spiritual man, the devil has no power over us. God is with us and our ability to walk with Him grows day by day. Fellowship with God begins on planet earth and continues forever in Heaven. Jesus walked in fellowship with God every moment of His natural life as a demonstration to us of what eternal life really is. It is a father and son walk forever. Jesus walked with God and He spoke the words of God. Everywhere Jesus went people felt God’s presence and watched God’s miracles. God was with Jesus just like He wants to be with us. That is the way things began in the Garden of Eden, but that life was lost. If Adam would have obeyed God, then our fellowship with God would have continued but Adam separated from God. Adam obeyed Satan and death has reigned over man ever since. Death was never a part of God’s original plan. Death is an enemy of God and man. Death is part of the curse upon the human race, but Jesus has redeemed us from the curse.
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (1Corinthians 15:22)
As a result, we are all born in the natural man, the progeny of Adam, spiritually dead. That is why we physically die. We are separated from God. We must become children of God before we can walk with God again and enter into God’s home called Heaven. Jesus said, “Ye Must Be Born Again.” Jesus then did everything necessary to make it possible for us to become born again. God sent Jesus from Heaven to earth to become the last Adam, shed His righteous blood and die as a ransom for the forgiveness and remission of our sins. He died in our place upon the cross and took our punishment for us to be forgiven of our sins. Then Jesus conquered death for us so we could be made alive unto God, walk with God again and come to Heaven. God has made provision for every soul. Heaven is His home and the home of God’s family. God wants to show off to you and reveal all things to you so you can come to Heaven and walk with Him forever. You can start your relationship with God right now.
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and fewthere be that find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)
Can you see the difference between the natural man and the spiritual man? The gate through which we must enter is straight. Here’s the way to Heaven. Are you ready? Turn Right and Go Straight! Now let me quiz you for a little fun. What is the gate? It is straight! What is the way? It is narrow! We must go straight to God without looking all around and getting caught up in what is going on in this world. when you do that you are going through the gate. What is the way? Jesus is the way to God. The way is so narrow, only Jesus can get through It is perfectly contoured for Him, but with Christ in your heart, He will carry you through to the other side just like the ark carried Noah into the new world. The natural man will be too deceived, too busy, too foolish, too weak, and too dirty to walk with God, but the spiritual man will be wearing clean clothes washed in the blood of Jesus, walking with God and prepared to enter in through the gates into the city of God. Are you still a natural man? Wouldn’t you like to become a spiritual man? There is a way that seems right unto the natural man, but the end thereof, are the ways of death. However, for the spiritual man there is a way that leads to life and everything is between you and God. It is supernatural, beyond your imagination and not of this world. Are you one of the many or one of the few? Come to God. That is the first step to being led by the Spirit of God.
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. (2 Corinthians 6:16)
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: (Hebrews 8:10)
All you have to do is pray a simple prayer. Just like we write things down and make a contract, God speaks words, which becomes His contract. Any time God made a covenant with someone in the Old Testament, He spoke words and the Bible says it is impossible for God to lie. God wrote the whole Bible to give us His words we can build our lives on. God has given us His word He will receive you. God has never broken His word. In the same way, God will take you at your word. All you have to do now is give Him some words from your heart. If you will do that, God will give you a new heart. Your heart is what makes you right with God and fit for Heaven. Just close your eyes and say your words from the heart, out loud unto God. You can say words like these but say them with all your heart. Are you ready? Do it now! Tomorrow may never come!
Come to God
Heavenly Father,
I ask you to save me and reveal truth of eternityto me. I accept you as my God and my Father. Thank you for forgiving me of all my sins. Thank you for Jesus. Make me your child, your son and daughter. Quicken me by your Spirit. Change me and impart to me your divine nature through Christ in me. I receive your gift of eternal life and accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Thank you, God, for making provision for me through your son Jesus Christ. I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20)
Jesus,
Come into my heart and give me new life. Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross in my place and for paying the price for me to be forgiven all of my sins. I believe you quicken me by your Spirit. Thank you for saving me and making it possible for me to come to Heaven. Guide me into all truth by your Spirit. I ask in your name. Amen
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; (2 Corinthians 5:17-18)
If you have prayed with your heart, I believe you were born again of the Spirit and the Bible says you are a new creature. You are now capable of understanding the things of the Spirit because God has given you a new spirit. God said He will take out the stony heart of the natural man and give you a new heart of the spiritual man. With this new heart God has given you, comes the desire to learn all about the things God and to walk with God in reality. Just the fact that you have this desire proves that you were born again. You will begin to realize you now love the things you once hated and as you grow spiritually, you will begin to hate the things you once loved, like lust and lying and self exaltation, etc. That is part of the way we know we’ve been truly born again. Also, the Bible says when we are born again we have a witness on the inside of our hearts and we know these things and this witness will guide us into all truth as we learn of God. It will bear witness with our spirit that we are the children of God.
And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God. (Romans 9:26)
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before His presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations. (Psalm 100:1-5)
