We Are Empowered By God To Ask To Be Saved

"And Phillip said, If you believe with all of your heart [if you have a conviction, full of joyful trust, that Jesus is the Messiah and accept Him as the Author of your salvation in the Kingdom of God, giving Him your obedience, then] you may. And he replied, I do believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." Acts 8:37 Amplified Bible

If you want salvation and don’t have it, just ask, ask God and He will give salvation to you. Because the Truth is that it is the Holy Spirit within you giving you the desire and the ability to ask. “Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.” 1 Corinthians 12:3 There is no process, no long drawn out prayers, just honestly ask God to show you and to give you His complete and powerful salvation. You will know that you have it, salvation will consume you, you will be drawn towards God, your thoughts will turn towards Him, your actions will be redirected, and you will loose all doubt. God will place a new heart within you, one that longs for and desires Him, a loving heart that is able to act in ways of love that will confound the world. You will be able to have trust in things that the world cannot even see. You will love those that hate you, you will bless them that curse you, and you will pray and eagerly desire good for those who persecute you. You won’t be able to help it, it’s what you will have been born of, and it’s the seed that you have come from! God looks at our hearts; so don’t worry about what to pray, if you are truly looking for God, you will be found!

Once we are chosen by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to truly make Jesus Lord, we pass from death to life in one single instance, and we know that God loves us and we know that we are now His children! Our spirits become one with His and our flesh becomes one with His, and no one, no man, and no spirit is able to steal our belief in His favor and grace that is salvation. Just simply ask; God gives to all who ask! If we believe as Phillip told the Eunuch to believe, than we are born again of God’s Holy and Incorruptible Seed. “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.”1 Peter 1:23 We are birthed by the very Spirit of God, the same Spirit that birthed Jesus through Mary, has birthed you and I.
