How to Get Into Heaven With a Simple Prayer!

The Native Americans have a saying, that; that man is not a human being; he is a spiritual being who is having a human experience. Most of us, from time to time, become aware of this nature in ourselves and we may have uncertain feelings our spiritual condition, our worth and our eternal destiny.

It has been is said that we all have a God-shaped vacuum within us that only He can fill. When we have these uncomfortable realizations, we can find satisfaction by appreciating that the one who made us has the remedy. He has designed us to seek and find him.

God, our maker, has promised us that if we sincerely seek Him, we will always find Him and all comes to Him will never cast out. Jesus, (God in the flesh), said; I have gone to prepare a place for you that where I am, you will be also,"

We are aware that we have done bad things in our lives. We are not unique or alone. ..all (people) have sinned, and come short of the glory of God"; Romans 3:22-23.

We have grown up with a vision of a powerful father figure who will punish us because of the bad things that we have done. Instinctively, we know that God is just and holy. We can take real comfort in knowing that He, also, very loves us very much. His holy nature demands satisfaction, but his love pays the price. As the God/Man, Jesus, He became one of us to suffer and die in order to satisfy His requirement of atonement. He paid the price Himself so that He can freely give His eternal rewards to us imperfect people. Our part is, simply, to accept this gift, which is free to us but was very expensive to God when became Jesus and suffered and died by taking the punishment that we deserved in the body of His blameless presence as Jesus . 

Anyone can accept this gift, regardless of their past behavior, by simply telling God, in our hearts. (He knows our every thought,) that we are truly sorry for our past foolishness and that we accept His gift to us of eternity with Him. Acknowledging our inability to correct ourselves to His standards, we ask Him to come into our lives and make things right. When he places His Spirit within us, the direction of our life is changed. This event is often called being “born again.”

Is there anyone who has not heard the following scripture? "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal. For; God has not sent his Son into the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him." - John 3: 16-17

“If with all your heart, you truly seek me, you will always, surely, find me.” Deuteronomy 4:29

Your eternity is entirely in your own hands. You may accept or reject this offer. You don’t have to be eloquent. You don’t even have to speak aloud. If your commitment is sincere, God will answer and grant to you the fulfillment of His promise; “… all who come to me, I will never cast out.” John: 6-3.

If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  Romans 10:9-10; John 3:17

Prayer of Salvation

"Dear Lord Jesus,

You died for my sins and iniquities about 2000 years ago. You were pierced for my transgressions, crushed for my sins and the punishment that brought us peace was upon You. Therefore, I approach the Throne of Grace with confidence, so that I may receive Your grace and mercies whenever I am in times of need.

The Scripture says that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. My eyes are upon You this hour. Father God, please forgive and forget all the sins that I have committed against You. I offer my body as a living sacrifice to You Lord. Enable me, not to be conformed any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of my mind. 

Pour out Your Spirit upon me in an abounding measure and purge off the undesirable things in me, which are not pleasing to Your sight.

The Living Word says that if we confess with our mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, then we will be saved. Accordingly, I rely totally on Your word Lord. Create in me a clean heart and restore to me, the joy of Your salvation. 

Save and justify me by Your divine grace because it is by Your grace that we are saved through faith and not from ourselves, and it is a gift from You alone. Thank You Father for redeeming me with Your most precious blood which You shed for me on the cross of Calvary. 

I thank You a million times Father, for transforming my life according to Your Word that "if anyone be in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come!" I thank You and praise You Lord.

Amen."
