Are You Born Again?
Are you in constant fear or worry? Do you feel guilty or in a constant state of dread? Are you always thinking about mistakes you’ve made? Do you think you’re a bad person? Are you always trying to be perfect?
If you answered yes to one or all, I invite you to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
When you were born, you were born in the flesh: according to your thoughts, feelings and emotions; living like the world; living apart from God.
To be born again is to be born again in your spirit: accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior and Redeemer; Living a life led by The Holy Spirit.
This is how God intended for you to live: by Faith in Him and His Word and not by your own imagination and efforts.
Anyone and EVERYONE can be born again. Any age. Any time. There is no sin too big, too wrong, or too shameful, that disqualifies you from being born again.
It is possible to live in total victory and complete freedom.
The Word of God says in Romans 10: 8-10, 17 (NLT)
'In fact, it says, “The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ. '
You can be born again. You can be in right standing with God. You can be forgiven and live in freedom. You can be unburdened by guilt, regret, fear and shame.
If you truly want to be born again sincerely pray this prayer to God:
-
Father God, I believe You are God. Thank You for loving me so much that You gave Your Son Jesus as a sacrifice for sin (living apart from You and against Your good plan for me). I also believe that You raised Him from the dead.
Lord Jesus, I confess I have sinned and missed the mark. I ask you to forgive me for everything that I have done wrong. Thank You for dying on the cross in my place and for putting me back in right standing with God my Father. And thank You for sending Your Holy Spirit to comfort me and to empower me to live this life as You want me to live.
Holy Spirit, thank You for leading me to repent and accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for leading me in God’s will for my life. Help me to mature and continue to be led by You.
God, Thank You that I will live in eternity with You. I no longer live in shame and condemnation.
I boldly declare: God, You are LORD of my life, You are my Father, and my Savior. I receive Your gift of Salvation. I receive Your Love for me. I am now Born Again.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

That’s it, You are BORN AGAIN!
Your spirit is now born again! You are a Child of God and your Father has heard you! You don’t have to beg God over and over. Even if you make a mistake in the next few seconds, minutes or months, you are still forgiven. You cannot lose your right standing with God. When you mess up, immediately run to God, repent and ask for His help to not make those mistakes again. Never be afraid to run to God no matter how many times you make mistakes. God is not a liar. When He says you are forgiven, YOU ARE Forgiven. He says He will always be with You and He will.
I encourage you to continue learning about God your Father, His Plan for your life, Jesus and The Holy Spirit. With God there is always more!
GET IN HIS WORD. Read the Holy Bible for yourself. A good place to start is in the New Testament. Sit quietly a few minutes everyday before your day gets hectic. Talk to God first before talking to anyone else. Be still and know He is God.
