We must always look to God and
not man to solve our problems. He will use man to solve the problems
though it is Him who is solving the problem through man. "Man of his owns self (separate from God) can do nothing of value."
I
want to explain to you in very simple terms what I have experienced and what is
available to all. I can only speak of my own experience for it alone is what i know.
I want every human being, all of my brothers and sisters; to "feel" what I feel inside, the joy and peace of the Lord God Almighty; His Holy Spirit!
.
It
is not about being a Jew, a Buddhist, a Catholic, a Protestant or
the many other religions and labels that man has established; it is about establishing a personal relationship with God.
Jesus came to bring clarity to all.
One can establish a relationship with God through intimacy. After I was taught the truth of Gods' word in the Holy Bible, I chose to recite the sinners prayer which dramatically changed my life for the better; a 180 degree turn!
Immediately after I recited the prayer I felt different; a peace and joy came over my heart that I had never known before and I knew that it was real. Simply by reciting the prayer I became born again; a brand new creation!
John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, BUT BY ME.
I prayed: "Heavenly Father, I Bill Lang believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that I was born a sinner in need of a savior. I invite the Lord Jesus into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior! Please guide, lead and direct me; take over my life! I will praise and worship you all the days of my life! I now confess that my life will never be the same! In Jesus name, Amen!
This following is now one of my favorite scriptures.
Timothy 1: 12 - 14
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he consider me faithful, appointing me to his service. Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man; I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Through studying and dedication to learning the truth i came to know the real love of God. Knowing his love caused for me to repent of my crooked ways and to ask him to make me righteous in his eyes. We must allow God to make us Christ - Like for it is the only reason we are here. God wants us to live as Jesus lived. God wants us all to be vessels of his Holy Spirit.
I invite you to feel a love so pure that it would
volunteer to be whipped with jagged metals, beaten, spat upon, scorned, thorn-ed
and crucified out of His love for us. God
loves us so much that he sent Jesus to do this for us; to save our souls and to give us His Holy Spirit in order to make us righteous; in His image, in order to transfer heaven to earth.
Jesus is the ultimate demonstration of
unconditional love that creates real and lasting change. The one and only door
opener. God in the flesh; the only man ever born to a virgin. The gateway to the heavens. It is not by my word; but by my
father’s word written in the Bible. I have personally experienced its' truth.
The following excerpts come from a brilliant,
simple to read explanation of how to utilize our resources in Christ more
powerfully and effectively for Him. The book is “God’s Power in Your
Life”, by R. A. Torrey
God’s purpose: Peace and Life
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal
life.” John 3:16 NKJV
Since God planned for us to have peace and the
abundant life right now, why are most people not having this experience?
Our Problem: Separation from God (our choice
results in separation from God)
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory
of God.” Romans 3:23 NIV
Our Attempts: Through the ages many have tried to
bridge this gap…without success.
“There is a way that seems right to man, but in
the end it leads to death.” Proverbs 14:12 NIV
God’s Remedy: The Cross
Jesus Christ is the only answer to this problem.
He died on the cross and rose from the grave, paying the penalty for our sin
and bridging the gap between God and people. Jesus is the bridge that connects to God through the Holy Spirit.
God has provided the only way we must make the
choice.
“For there is one God and one mediator between
God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” 1 Timothy
2:5, NIV
“For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just
for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.” 1 Peter
3:18 NKJV
Our Response: Receive Christ
We must trust Jesus Christ and receive Him by
personal invitation.
The Bible Says….
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If
anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with
him, and he with me.” Revelation 3:20 NKJV
“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.” Romans 10:9 NKJV
Is there any good reason why you cannot receive
Jesus Christ right now?
How To Receive Christ:
What to Pray:
Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You
died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite
You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow you as my
Lord and Savior. I want you to guide, lead and direct my entire life.
In Your Holy Name, Amen.
(It is really cool to have another believer walk you through this prayer. If you would like I would love nothing better than to walk you through it. It will prove to be one of the most glorious moments of your life! Bill / 310-619-0343)
That is it! We only have to say it once! HE will clean your slate and make you a new creation!
If you have recited this prayer your name is now written in the Gods Lambs book of life!
I pray that on a daily basis your journey is
bringing you closer and closer to God!
Any one in need of prayer, communion, baptism or
conversation please feel free to call me.
All glory, praises and honors are God's!
I would love to assist you if you would like my help! I am here for you.
Love,
Bill
