It’s Time to Take Back What Satan Has Stolen From You
My friends, over these past five lessons I hope I have made some common sense of the greatest book ever written, the Bible. Below I will briefly summarize the five lessons I’ve written, and present you with a decision that each and every one of us must make at some point in our life. I feel sorry for those that have gone before us and neglected to make this decision. The scriptures clearly tell us that they are in Hell, spending eternity separated from their creator, God, our Heavenly Father.
Remember, as you read this invitation, you have the free will to decide to accept it or reject it. Right now, as you are reading this, I can assure you that Satan and his demonic minions are at work beside and in you trying to keep you from reading further. The phone will start ringing, someone will call out to you, the baby just woke up, the dog is barking at something outside, or you just remembered that television show you’ve been waiting all week to watch is about to come on.
I ask you to read on and to focus on you and God, blocking out everything else.
- God created you and filled you with wonderful things and abilities; He deeply loves you and wants to be with you.
- Satan stepped in and placed a wall of separation (sin) between you and God, and now you are physically and spiritually separated from Him.
- Jesus Christ came to earth to destroy once and for all that wall of separation, and to restore your broken relationship with God. He died for you and your sinful nature so that you could be redeemed with your Heavenly Father who is waiting for you.
- The Holy Spirit of God is waiting to come and live inside of you. He will unlock God’s Word to you, and He will help you build your new life and see all of the wonderful things God has hidden inside of you — things you can’t see because of your sinful nature.
Friend, this is your moment. Don’t let Satan interfere because he doesn’t care at all about you, and neither does this world we live in. His only goal is to destroy everything God wants for you and to keep you in Hell along with all the others that walked away at this moment.
Prepare your heart by reading what God has written in Romans 10:9-13 and Ephesians 2:8-9
9If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. 11As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” 12Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him. 13For “Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.” (NLT)
8For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. (NKJV)
This is the first step of faith the Bible talks about — God’s gift to you, no strings attached. You can take it, accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, by just reading this simple prayer out loud from your heart, not your mind:
Dear God, I realize I am a sinner in need of salvation. I know that all my own good works and religious rituals can never save me. Only Jesus can save me. I believe that Jesus, my Savior, came to earth for me and that he died on the cross for my sins. I believe that He was buried and on the third day rose and now sits at your right hand as my advocate. I am asking Jesus to forgive my sins and to come into my life now and be my Lord and Savior now and forever more. Thank you for accepting me and giving me eternal life.
If you prayed this prayer with your heart and believe that Jesus Christ is now your Lord and Savior except for your birth, this is the most exciting day of your life. You are now redeemed with God, your Father. You have now secured your place in eternity with Him. The Bible tells us that right now everyone in Heaven is rejoicing with you. Can you hear them?
Welcome, my brother or sister, to the Kingdom of God.
I have one more lesson in the Who Am I Really series, and it is written especially for you. I will share with you all of the wonderful promises the Word of God now holds for you. You can now finish the puzzle of Who Am I Really. All of those colorful pieces that make you who you are will now fit together perfectly and you will see who God really intended you to be.
If you haven’t taken the step of faith above your lesson ends here. The final lesson is only for the saved, those who have accepted God’s gift of salvation.
If you didn’t take the step of faith yet, I would ask you to start the series again from the beginning. You need to decide why you would believe the lies of Satan and the world we live in rather than what the Bible says. Just like Satan and the rest of us, you have a free will to say yes or no to God. My prayer is that you won’t wait too long. Remember, you are only one short heartbeat away from eternity, and where you spend it is entirely up to you.
Until next time, my brothers and sisters, may Mercy, Peace, and Love be multiplied to you.
