Adrian Rogers: The Power in the Blood #2170

[Music] thanks for joining us for today's program Adrian Rogers was a motivator and encouraged her in a leader of the faith who presented a clear invitation to follow Jesus at every opportunity he was also passionate about presenting scriptural application to everyday life circumstances and you'll see that in each message of this series that we are calling under the great physicians care do you feel weak in your spirit right there's a disconnect between the power that was promised as Scripture and the power you feel in your life Adrian Rogers tells us how to reconnect Satan has no power against the blood of Jesus Christ that flows through his body which is the church thank God for the constant provision of the blood every need I have is in the blood of Jesus thank God friend for the cleansing power of the blood because all of my sin can be forgiven in the Lord Jesus thank God for the conquering power of the blood the wise blood Jesus has overcome and so can I have your Bibles open and ask the Great Physician to speak to you today and as always you can listen to this message again and check out Pastor Rogers outlines notes and transcripts all at lwf dot org now let's join Amy Rogers take your Bibles find John chapter six would you please and look up here some years ago Billy Graham was preaching as a young man and you know the God's anointing and God's power has been on bitte Graham for many many years and I read somewhere where a young professor from Cornell University said to Billy Graham to the young Billy Graham Billy you're gifted you have power you have persuasion but I want to give you some advice if you expect to be used in a worldwide way you're going to have to leave out that blood stuff talking about the blood of Jesus leave out the blood Billy Graham said I determined at that moment to preach more on the blood of Jesus Christ than ever before and thank God for that I want to talk to you today about the power of the blood or power in the blood would you turn to John chapter 6 beginning in verse 53 and read with me then jesus said unto them verily verily I say unto you except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood you have no life in you underscore that phrase life in you whoso eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day for my flesh is meat indeed and my blood is drink indeed he that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me and I in him as the living father has sent me and I live by the father so he that eateth me even he shall live by me many Christians are failing in the Christian life they are miserable representations of the Lord Jesus Christ Jesus Christ declared and manifested the father but I wonder how many of us are declaring and manifesting Jesus Christ I've told you about a little boy one time I had a mangy old mutt a dog somebody asked him said what kind of a dog is that dog little boy said he's a police dog the man said well he doesn't look like a police dog and the little guy said well he's in the Secret Service now I think I know a lot of Christians who are in the Secret Service I mean they may be saved but you would never know it by looking at them the way they talked the way they walk the way they act the way they live they do not have that power that God wants them to have the life of Jesus Christ is not in them and the difference is they have never discovered the power of the precious blood of Jesus Christ now let me tell you several things about the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ first of all friend it is sacred blood now what I mean by that is this that while Jesus Christ had a human body the blood that flowed through his veins was not like the blood of any other man in the other woman his blood was sacred blood this is the reason that Jesus was born of a virgin did you know that the blood type is determined not by the mother but by the father did you know that that's the reason why sometimes they have a paternity suit and prove who may have followed a particular child some people have the idea that the blood that's in the baby's life and the blood that's in the mother's life interchange somehow and flow together no no the mother may have one type and and the child may have another type of blood all together that that the blood type is not determined by the mother whose blood was in the Lord Jesus Christ he was the son of God and I'm telling you it was God's blood that flowed through his veins you say no wait a minute pastor God doesn't have blood he did when Jesus was here on this earth let me give you a verse of scripture it's a wonderful verse put it any margin Acts chapter 20 and verse 28 Paul is talking to the pastors of the church at at Ephesus and here's what he said take heed therefore unto yourselves and to all the flock over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers now listen to the statement to feed the Church of God which he hath purchased with his own blood that's it bought the church God did with whose blood his own blood I mean that the blood of God flowed through the veins of Jesus Christ it is sacred blood not only is it sacred blood it is shed blood for the Bible says without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins and I say it was shed blood it was not spilt it was shed jesus said no man taketh my life from me I lay it down of myself I have the power to lay it down I have the power to take it up Jesus did not die as a martyr Jesus died as a willing substitute it was that sacred blood was shed blood and because the sacred blood was shed blood the shed blood becomes saving blood we are saved by the blood of the Lamb way back in the Book of Leviticus Leviticus chapter 17 verse 11 the Bible says for the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls for it is the blood that maketh atonement for the Soul no wonder the devil wants the blood message taken out of the church and Peter in the New Testament said in 1st Peter chapter 1 beginning in verse 18 for as much as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as silver and gold from your vain conversation received by tradition from your father's but with listen the precious the precious blood of Christ as a lamb without blemish and without spot the sacred blood the shed blood is that saving blood that's why he had to be born of a virgin had he not been born of a virgin he would have had the blood of Adam coursing through his veins in Adam all died but in Christ shall all be made alive he came as he did virgin born to be what it was sinless to do what he did to die a substitute for us he became man that we might become sons of God by the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ and we can sing it say it shout it believe it my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and justise Sunday school teacher asked a little girl is there anything God can I do she said yes there's one thing God cannot do God cannot see my sin through the blood of Jesus Christ well the Bible says the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin now we've known that but here's the fourth thing I want you to notice that sacred blood which is shed blood which is saving blood is also listen to me shared blood get it down shared blood now our Lord Jesus Christ is talking to these people about eating his flesh and drinking his blood look in verse 53 verily verily I say unto you except she eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood you have no life in you now folks at that time when Jesus said that they began to scatter they began to leave they got out of there they said I don't want anything to do with this they began to go here and there they left him so much that Jesus had to go to say to his disciples will you also go away what was it that so offended them when he said this that you had to eat his flesh and drink his blood well over and over again these Jews had been taught in the Old Testament you don't drink blood you don't eat blood put these scriptures down you understand why they left Genesis 9 verse poor God says but the flesh with the life thereof which is the blood thereof ye shall not eat and Jesus is talking here about drinking blood you wonder why these horrid ox use left Leviticus 3:17 I it says it shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings that you eat neither fat nor blood and by the way you'd be a whole lot more healthy if you obey that don't eat the blood don't eat the fat for all your generations that's what God said to the Jews that's Leviticus chapter 3 verse 17 then Leviticus chapter 17 verse 14 for it he's talking about the blood is the life of all flesh the blood of it is for the life thereof therefore I said unto the children of Israel ye shall eat the blood of no man or flesh for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof who sever eateth it shall be cut off and here Jesus is saying eat my flesh and drink my blood they said that's it that's it so long goodbye I'm out of here this this this is horrible it sounds like cannibalism it's absolutely unorthodox it's revolting it's it's savage good bye they left they were so offended at this statement of eating his flesh and drink his blood well they were not listening through spiritual ears Jesus is not talking here about eating his literal flesh and drinking his literal blood that would have been impossible five or six quarts of blood and human body he's talking human race I mean there's not enough blood if we were to eat his literal flesh his literal blood skip on down to verse 63 if you will what let's start in verse 61 when Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it he said unto them doth this offend you what and if you shall see the Son of Man ascend up where he was before and then notice here's the key to the whole thing in verse 63 it is the spirit that quickeneth you know what the word quickeneth means means to make alive the Bible speaks of the quick and the dead just like in Memphis traffic if you're not quick you're dead it is the spirit it's the spirit that quickeneth the flesh profiteth nothing nonde score this phrase the words that I speak unto you they are spirit and their life Jesus said I'm not talking about eating my literal flesh I'm not talking about drinking my literal blood I'm talking symbolically the words that I speak unto you they are spirit and they are life Jesus is using symbolic language Jesus is using spiritual language so we have to move from the physical to the spiritual to understand what is talking about because God created both worlds he created the physical world and created the spiritual world in the physical world is just an image of the spiritual world so we can understand things what Jesus is saying when he's saying you eat my flesh and drink my blood is that you let my life be in you look again in verse 53 and then you're going to understand it Jesus said and then verily verily I say to you except you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood you have no life in you and then look at verse 57 as the living father has sent me and I live by the Father even so he that eateth me even he shall live by me what Jesus is talking about is this that we must feed our spirits on him that Jesus don't miss this Jesus is to your spirit what blood is to your body that's it did you get it could you repeat it if I gave you a test on if this in college could you write that down that'll be on the final examination Jesus is to your spirit what blood is to your body just as the life of the flesh is the blood the life of my spirit is Jesus Christ do you understand that the words that I speak unto you they are spirit and they are life and Jesus is not talking only about the saving blood he's talking him now about the shared blood Jesus was talking about his life being in me you know the reason that many Christians are failing I mean they're saved they're born again there have been born heaven-bound but they're not living in victory because they may understand the saving blood but they never understood the shared blood they have never understood what it means to eat his flesh and drink his blood that is literally to feed on him I've been reading a book by dr. Paul brand wonderful surgeon the title of the book is in His image and he said some wonderful things about the blood and I'm going to try and share some of them with you although the the sermon the outline is mine some of the thoughts are here's because I'm certainly not a medical doctor and I want to share some things he said concerning blood and I wants to think about the natural world and then I want us to make the application to the spiritual world number one listen to me we must appropriate the constant provision of the blood we must appropriate the constant provision of the blood every word there is important we must appropriate the constant provision of the blood now your body right now sitting in that seat lives at the mercy of the blood your blood is constantly providing every cell in your body with nourishment I want you to imagine a a pipeline that runs all over the world and it runs past every village every town every city and it goes down every Street every alley every pathway and to the smallest little Hut little home a pipeline is just flowing all over the world all around the world there's not an island there's not a continent there's not a village there's not a hamlet there's not a neighborhood this pipeline doesn't go and in this pipeline are little boats that are just going through this pipeline everywhere these little boats are just going just like this all over and on those boats is everything that a human being would need to survive and so if they if they need anything any kind of sustenance all they have to do is just kind of reach into that pipeline and take what they need off of those boats and those boats are just constantly coming and everybody is just getting what they need off those boats that are coming fast well friend that is what the blood does in your body there is a pipeline in your body that is just supplying your body with everything that your body needs those little boats are the red cells in your bloodstream and through these vessels through this pipeline to every cell every part of your body every organ of your body the blood is flowing and the blood these these red cells how many of those dr. brand says 100 trillion of these little booze they're just going through your body like that while you're sitting is just flowing there every part of your body this pipeline is going and in those boats is everything that every cell of your body needs in order to have life there's oxygen amino acid nitrogen and sodium potassium calcium magnesium sugars lipids lipids cholesterol hormones everything you need is on those little bows and your cell is just picking them out picking them out picking them out they're just flowing fast just like this I mean billions of them just going like this no wonder you're so tired that's all going inside of you right now as you sit there one of the most commonly accepted medical facts is this the life of the flesh is in the blood that men did not know that for a long time was until about in the 16th century the William Harvey even discovered that the blood circulates in the human body but every cell in your body lives at the mercy of your blood your blood is a red river of life and so Jesus is saying to his body to the church you've got to have my blood in you that's the shared blood listen listen Jesus Christ gave himself for us that he might give himself to us now you want me to tell you why we're failing we can be going to heaven and we can thank God for the for the the the shed blood which is saving blood but he gave himself for us that he might give himself to us that we eat of his flesh drink of his blood and he's saying that my life might be in you for he goes on to say listen if we had been reconciled by his death much more we'll be saved by his life saved by his life there's the saving life of the Lord Jesus Christ God didn't just forgive you and say all right now gut it out live it as best you can know just as in my human body everything that my human body needs to exist is delivered to me by that those red blood cells those little boats of coursing through all these channels in my physiological makeup so everything I need to live the Christian life is in Jesus that was a good place for an amen Bob said hmm huh nobody else said anything what let's try it again everything that I need to live the Christian life is in Jesus amen that's better listen put down second Peter chapter one in verse three a great great great verse listen to it according as his divine power don't you love that His divine power what we just blow past these words don't we listen to it according as his divine power hath given unto us listen hath given already have it not will give not might year not that we need to beg for it hath given to us all things not some things a double-l how much does that mean what does all mean means all listen according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain on to life and godliness through the knowledge of him that has called us to glory in virtue how many people you know are living in glory and virtue not many because they have not appropriated what God has given us by His divine power he has given to us all things all things that pertain unto life and glory how many of you have all the love that you need don't lift your hand I mean if you have all the wisdom that you need don't let you in how many of you have all of the strength that you need how many of you have all the courage that you need don't lift your hand how many of you have all the patience that you need don't let your hand well I submit to you friend that you do have all that you need you say if I have it how come I don't have it you don't have what you have because you haven't possessed your possessions God has given it to you and what you need to do is to possess what God is already given to you Peter says listen his divine power he has given us all things all things not he will give might give he has given to us what did God tell Joshua when Joshua was about to go into the Promised Land let this rug represent the Promised Land let me represent Josh and God says to Joshua now Joshua there's land go in and possess it and then he says every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon that have I given you name is Joshua there's the land over there was it Joshua's yes did he have it no why he did not possess his possessions every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon that have I given you not I will give it till you go in and take it I've given it to you take it it's already yours take it you see he's I don't understand that what do you mean possess your possession how many of you have books in your library you haven't read yet let me see your hands okay are those your books yes have you possessed your possessions no you see listen we need to understand that we already have through the blood of Jesus Christ everything it takes to live the Christian life I'm telling you there is a river of life flowing in us and now Jesus is speaking metaphorically he's not talking literally he's talking symbolically he said the words that I speak unto you they are spirit and they are life there is an abundant life through the resurrected Jesus Jesus Christ who gave himself for us is Jesus who has given himself to us that he might live through us and that's what the Christian life is all about there's so many people struggling and trying and failing like that poor dog in the Secret Service we need to possess our possessions now that's the first point and I and I want you to get it down in your heart we must appropriate the constant provision of the blood just as in my physical body the life of my physical body is the blood stream in your spiritual life that life is Jesus in you number two number two we must rely on the cleansing properties of the blood because not only does the blood supply but the blood cleanses did you know that your blood not only is bringing that those those little boats that we're talking about that are constantly bringing everything that you need to nourish every soul did you know those same little boats that are bringing all those wonderful things to every cell in your body are the same little boats that are hauling away the garbage I mean those those those red cells they give all this stuff that you need it's all in there then they pick up all of the uric acid and they that pick up the carbon dioxide and they pick up these poisons these toxics and they're carrying them away they came them to the lungs to be expelled carrying them to the the kid needs to be extruded they're just taking all of these things to be an amazing thing if you could get the the milk truck to be the garbage truck at the same time let's that's what God has done no wonder the psalmist said I am fearfully and wonderfully made the blood not only supplies every need but dear friend it cleanses constantly it cleanses constantly first John 1:7 the blood of Jesus Christ his son does what cleanses us from all sin not it cleansed past tense it is continually cleansing us and without the blood flowing you're gonna have a lot of toxin that builds up in you dr. brand said you can take a cuff you know when they take your blood pressure and they go nothing goes like that you've been that you've done that put a cuff on your arm he says and pump it up real tight and then he says began to exercise your arm began to do something get a rubber ball and begin to squeeze it at first he said you'll feel weak then after a while you feel worse than we after a while you will feel pain and he says after a while the pain will become so excruciating that you will cream in pain if you just cut off the blood flow y-you know what's happening there are toxins that'll be building up in that arm in that hand and the blood will not be flowing through there and the blood will not be carrying away those toxins and the pain will be overwhelming then you release release that cuff and the blood begins to flow back and forth again you feel that relief now folks I know a lot of folks who are living painfully because they they've let toxins build up in their lives worry and envy and jealousy and fear and pride and bitterness and doubt those things just build up and if you don't allow the shared blood to be constantly cleansing you you don't be living a life of pain first John 1:7 the blood of Jesus Christ God's Son cleanseth us from all sin and if those things those those toxins are in you it's because you've not been letting the blood of Jesus flow through you you may be saved and on your way to heaven but you're miserable you're miserable because you don't have the saving life of Jesus Christ in you and you're just you're just miserable you see listen not only is there the constant provision their friend is the cleansing property of the blood it is the blood that cleanses in the physical world and in the spiritual world put down this verse from Hebrews chapter 9 talks about the cleansing power of the blood Hebrews 9 beginning in verse 11 but Christ become a high priest of good things to come by greater and more perfect Tabernacle not made with hands that is to say not of this building neither by the blood a book of goats and calves but by his own blood yeah then it wants into the holy place having obtained eternal redemption for us forth the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean sanctified to the purifying of the flesh listen this how much more shall the blood of Christ who through the Eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God purge your conscience you know what the word purge means it means purify from dead works to serve the Living God you don't have to go around with unconfessed Unforgiven of sin you don't have to drag yesterday into today I've told you before the way I started a on a normal days to lift my hands to God and just say God I thank you Jesus that you gave yourself for me that friend is the saving blood then I lift my hands and I say thank you Jesus that you gave yourself to me that is the shared blood then I lift my hands and surrender and I say now Lord live your life through me I am yours today live your life through me he didn't just forgive me and say okay Adrian it's up to you he gave himself for you that he might give himself to you that he might live his life through you and just as your body survives by that Red River of Life the blood that is flowing in your body right now the blood of Jesus Christ the life of God wants to flow through his church and there's that constant provision and there are those cleansing properties of the blood of Jesus Christ it is the blood that cleanses it doesn't say cleansed it says cleanses it is continually cleansing when we let that blood flow now here's the here's the third thing number three we must claim the conquering power of the blood the cleansing properties but also the conquering power of the blood did you know that there is power power wonder-working power in the blood of Jesus do you know what the great enemy of man is the great enemy of mankind is not war the great enemy of mankind is not wild beasts the great enemy of mankind is bacteria and viruses in 1348 the Black Plague hit Europe what had happened is this that about a million visitors had come to Rome and when they were there they got infected with the plague and historians tell us that it killed one third of the people in Europe one third I mean just be like just taking one third of this auditorium and they all were killed with that one disease now these bacteria these viruses they invade the body and when they invade the body go the blood listen the blood declares war on them now the part of the blood that does that of the white blood cells dr. brandt says their five distinct kinds of white blood cells and let me quote him he says some white cells armed with crude chemicals serve as shock troop and attempt to overwhelm the invaders through sheer numbers others with massively shielded cell walls roll in with heavier ammunition like battle tanks attack strategy differs also some white cells free float in the bloodstream sniping it strays some stalk the vital organs alert for any invader that may slip through the initial defenses others try to corral invaders into a fortress like lymph gland for execution and still others the sanitary core linger until the battlefield is strewn with bits of cells and leaking protoplasm then move in to clean up after the Millay what he's saying is that there are their warriors inside of you these white cells normally 25 billion at one time in the body but if you get an infection those 25 billion can multiply ten times that many right away that's one way a doctor can tell whether or not you have an infection and some of these white cells have little entities attached to them called antibodies as kind of a bad name because they're not against the body they're really for the body called antibodies and these antibodies have a memory and if there ever comes an invader any kind of a virus or bacteria this antibody has a memory said I know you I know your name I know your rank I know your serial number I know what you're up against and this antibody tells the right kind of white cells to go get him seeking getting and these antibodies have have have a memory a wonderful memory and so they they mobilize these white cells in your body to go and attack that enemy and an antibody will only attack one kind of an enemy for example the antibody against measles would not be an antibody against polio or whatever but you have all these little antibodies we're so fearfully and wonderfully made and God God's got these these little gizmos in there and and and they're guiding these cells you know it's it's it's command central but dr. brandt said that sometimes a person will get a disease from been transported from some foreign land or something comes over here and the body doesn't know it doesn't recognize this invader never seen him before that doesn't know his name doesn't know his rank doesn't know a serial number can't sew the antibody runs to the lymph glands and says look we've got to build some munitions we got to get started how we've got an invader we've got to get ready come on guys get together come on let's go let's go let's go but there's a time gap and the body cannot mobilize and the body cannot get ready and and and this invader has come in and there's a time gap and people die because of the time gap because there's no antibody and they're at mercy of this time gap and then came along Louis Pasteur and Jenner and others and they learned something about how to immunize people against these diseases and an immunization is you take a weekend or a tired form of that disease that somebody else has had and that weakened retired form has a chemical memory and you put that from somebody else's body into your body and then your antibodies have the same memory that that person's antibody has then you were ready to go for example smallpox smallpox used to be a devastating disease when Cortez him the Explorer came in visited Aztec Indians he left behind one of the soldiers that had smallpox in two years four million of the Aztecs died because they didn't have any antibodies they didn't recognize this then one day Jenner was talking to a milkmaid and she said I'm not afraid of smallpox he said why she said I've had cow pox he got to thinking and he learned how to immunize by taking a weakened form of a disease and putting it in a human body so that that weakened form of that disease could then mobilize and get the name rank and serial number of these invaders and call the army to war and we've virtually eliminated smallpox because of this and you know what they call that blood that has had this disease and overcome this disease I love it they call it wise blood why is blood why is blood we know you we gonna get you why is blood now listen a person who has been immunized has wise blood now listen to me carefully and I'm almost finished the blood of Jesus is wise blood now that's the whole thing the blood of Jesus is wise blood you see anything Jesus has overcome we can overcome has another good place for a name in anything Jesus has overcome we can overcome John 16 verse 33 these things have I spoken unto you that you might have peace in the world you shall have tribulation but be of good cheer I have overcome the world that's the reason they said over there in Revelation chapter 12 and verse 11 speaking of the saints who are coming doing warfare against Satan and they overcame him by the blood they overcame him by the blood of the lamb Satan has no power against the blood of Jesus Christ that flows through his body which is the church this is the shared blood we're not here just to wallow in pain Jesus said because I live you live also my life is in you you don't eat my flesh and drink my blood you won't have any life in you thank God for the constant provision of the blood every need I have is in the blood of Jesus thank God friend for the cleansing power of the blood because all of my sin can be forgiven in the Lord Jesus thank God for the conquering power of the blood the wise blood Jesus has overcome and so can I Napoleon they said to Napoleon after he he lost the battle at Waterloo was in a chart room with some of his generals and they they had the map of the world up there in the British Isles who hit her head and it said Napoleon took a pointer and pointed to the British Isles that were in red and said had it not been for that red spot I would have conquered the world surely surely the devil has to say that about Calvary doesn't he had it not been for that red spot I would have conquered the world there is power power wonder-working power in the precious blood of the land friend let that blood that was shed on Calvary now flow through you what you say pastor how do you do that read that sixth chapter I've run out of time but here's what it is Jesus said the words that I speak unto you they are spirit and they are life the Word of God is to your spirit what blood is to your body the words that I speak unto you they are spirit and their life Jesus is saying the flesh profits nothing I'm not talking about eating my literal flesh and breaking my literal blood let my word abide in you get these truths down a little friend and live by them and get out of the secret service and be a real police dog be a man of God a woman of God there is power power wonder-working power in the precious blood of the Lamb bow your heads in prayer heads are bowed and eyes are closed you know it's time that some people here in this building did business with God some in this building need to be saved you've never you've never been saved I mean you don't know anything about the saving blood you've never really had your sin forgiven you've never been made fit for heaven remember there's no way that you can be saved apart from the shed blood of Christ the Bible says in Leviticus 17 without the shedding of blood there's no remission but right now because Jesus took your sins upon himself and with his blood on the cross paid your sin debt you can be saved if you want to be saved I want you to pray this prayer pray it out live pray silently not outloud prayed silently but fervently dear God I know that you love me I know that you want to save me I am a sinner I am lost my sin deserves judgment but I need and want mercy Jesus you died to save me and you promised to save me if I would trust you I do trust you Jesus would you tell him that right now this moment with all of my heart like a child once and for all now and forever I trust you come into my life forgive my sin save me and begin now to make me the person you want me to be thank you Jesus for you thank you for saving me thank you Jesus you're now my Lord and my master and I will live for you I will not be ashamed of you I will confess you openly and publicly not in order to be saved but because I have been saved I will acknowledge you as my Lord and Savior give me the strength to do in your name I pray amen I remind you friend that the Bible says God resists the proud but he gives grace to the humble do you know what grace is grace is the desire and the ability to do the will of God would you humble yourself and let God pour His grace on you it's called saving grace that means that there's nothing we can do to save ourselves but God so loves us that he sent his son the Lord Jesus to die in agony and blood upon the cross that we might be saved friend that is grace humble yourself and receive that grace pray dear Lord I'm a sinner I'm lost I cannot save myself there's nothing good in me and now I throw myself at your feet Lord Jesus I receive you today as my personal Lord and Savior begin now to make me the person you want me to be and give me strength day by day help me never to be ashamed of you thank you Jesus thank you for saving me pray that prayer and mean it or pray something like
