Voicing (saying
out loud) The following suggested
prayer:-
(In your own words from your heart )
We pray-- Dear Father, I come to you in the name of
Jesus to be born again of your spirit.
I repent
and turn from my old ways, and ask Jesus to be my Lord and savior.
I thank you for living in me, and changing me
by the fullness of your presence, and transforming me by the renewal of my
mind.
Heal all of me.
Create in me a
clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me.
Please identify
yourself in me, that I may personally know you in and through Jesus.
I
completely abandon myself to you and your Lordship, and I look to you to guide
me as you make me into the person you want me to be. May I always be willing to be obedient. Thank
you...........
I,
......................................................................................[insert
full name] DO THIS DAY DECLARE TO GOD AND ALL OTHERS WHO CARE TO KNOW THAT I
HAVE ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST TO BE MY SAVIOR AND LORD. I AM NOW A MEMBER OF GOD'S FAMILY BECAUSE HIS LOVE FOR ME HAS
MADE THIS POSSIBLE. I TURN MY BACK ON
THE THINGS IN MY LIFE THAT I KNOW HAVE BEEN WRONG AND I UNDERTAKE TO TRY AND
LIVE EACH DAY GOD'S WAY INSTEAD, OBEDIENT TO WHATEVER HE SHOWS ME TO DO AND
SAY.
THANK YOU GOD FOR YOUR
FORGIVENESS AND GRACE GIVEN TO ME.

It is good to have a friend,
relative or CR member sign your statement as a witness. True Christians are not
ashamed of what they have done, but are proud and delighted. Once you have
asked another person to witness your statement, it sort of confirms both to
yourself and to that person. The Bible
expresses it in these words in Rom. 10 verses 9 and 10:
"IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH JESUS AS LORD, and believe in your
heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart
man believes, resulting in righteousness, and WITH THE MOUTH HE CONFESSES,
RESULTING IN SALVATION." Acknowledgment - Ivan Rudolf.
Therefore if
any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away, behold
all things become new. 2
Cor. 5:17.
I beseech you
therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a
living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Rom. 12:1
And be ye not
conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may Prove what is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect will of God. Rom. 12:1,2.
