I BELIEVE

A Prayer of Salvation

(Adapted from John 3:1-21)

Jesus, I believe you are the Creator of the universe and I believe you are the Manager of the times. I believe you are the First and the Last. I believe you are the Beginning and the End. I believe you always were and you always will be

the Savior of the World.

I believe that you know all things. I believe that you give instructions about right and wrong. I believe you care about how I feel.

I believe

You are Power. You are Authority. You are Peace.

You are LOVE!

The world cannot understand You.

The Armies cannot defeat You.

The schools cannot explain You.

The Leaders cannot ignore You.

The Pharisees could not confuse You.

Herod could not kill You.

Hitler could not silence You.

The New Age cannot replace You.

The media cannot explain You away.

You are light and love.

You are holy, mighty and pure.

You are goodness.

You are kindness and gentleness.

Your ways are right.

Your word is eternal.

Your will is unchanging.

Your mind is on me!

You are my Redeemer! You are my Savior! You are my Friend!

You are my guide. You are my peace. You are my joy.

Your are my comfort.

You are Lord and You rule my life!

I believe

Your bond is love and Your burden is light.

Your goal for me is abundant life.

I believe

You are the Wisdom of the wise.

You are the Power of the powerful.

You are the Ancient of Days.

You are the Ruler of rulers and Leader of leaders.

I believe

Your goal is a relationship with ME!

I believe

You will never leave me alone. You will never mislead me.

You will never forget me. You will never overlook me.

You are never too busy for me!

I believe

When I fall, You lift me up!

When I fail, You forgive me!

When I am weak, You are strong!

When I am lost, You are the way!

When I am afraid, You are my courage!

When I stumble, You steady me!

When I am hurt, You heal me!

When I am broken, You mend me!

When I am blind, You lead me!

When I am hungry, You feed me!

When I face trials and problems, You are with me!

When I face persecution, You shield me!

Prayer of Salvation: Father, I accept Your Son, Jesus Christ, into my life. I trust You and I trust Jesus. I have decided to put my faith in Your Son. I understand that You did not send Jesus to judge or condemn me or to reject me when I mess up. You sent Him to give me a safe place with You. I open the door to my heart for Jesus to walk through. I enter into that safe place with you now! I now accept Jesus as my Lord and my Savior now! Thank you for the gift of Your Son. I receive that gift now!

JOHN 3:16

Devotion: I BELIEVE

A Prayer of Salvation

(Adapted from John 3:1-21)

Verse:

Just as Moses lifted up the serpent

In the desert on a pole

So must the Son of Man

Be lifted up that all men

Might be drawn to Him

Chorus:

For God so loved the world

That He gave

His only begotten Son

He made the way

That whoever would believe on Him

Should have everlasting life

Yes He did

Bridge:

For God sent not His Son into the world

To condemn the world

To condemn the world

God sent His Son into the world

To save the world

Yes to save the world

A CLASSIC HYMN / Just As I Am

This is the 6^th of 7 devotions with the theme of

"Salvation"

A Classic Hymn
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from Revelation 22:17)

Charlotte Elliot was inspired to write Just As I Am in 1835 about how to find salvation through Christ. She had no idea how many countless times this song would be used as the call to the altar for the next 180 years! The song brings a quiet simple message of sin, forgiveness, and salvation to all that turn from sin to Jesus. Truly, only the Holy Spirit could inspire these lyrics and have one with a heart turned toward God to capture the meaning on paper. And only He could anoint it to last for generations and bring countless souls to God's alter of repentance!

The story goes that an elderly man asked Charlotte Elliott if she were a Christian. Charlotte was offended and told the gentleman to mind his own affairs. But when the man departed, Charlotte could not get the question off of her mind. She searched the man out and humbly asked him how could she really find Christ. He told her simply "come just as you are." She did come to Christ and then she penned the beautiful lyrics that are so meaningful to this day.

Just as I am, without one plea,

but that Thy blood was shed for me,

And that Thou bidd'st me come to Thee,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, and waiting not

to rid my soul of one dark blot,

To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am,

Thy love unknown has broken ev'ry barrier down;

Now to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am,

tho' tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt,

Fightings and fears within, without,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind -

sight, riches, healing of the mind,

Yea, all I need in Thee to find -

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Father, I come to you this moment, just as I am.

Thank you for the blood of Jesus. O Lamb of God, I believe and I receive.
