First-Step Prayer

Writer's picture: Tim BaldwinTim Baldwin

Words from the Lord are in red italics.


There is only one way to the Father and that is through the Son.


Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. He is the Word of God.

We are called to live a life in the spirit as Jesus is spirit.


This is how we follow Him, internally in spirit.


Our spirit intuition guides us and renews our minds to live a righteous life here on earth.


Jesus died on the cross and shed his blood for us to cover our sins. Cover, as in pay the price to remove sin from the eyes of the Father.


In doing so, the Father gifted us the Holy Spirit so we could commune with Jesus while separating ourselves from this world.


Jesus is our teacher and He teaches us through direct communication through the Holy Spirit; feeding us wisdom and reshaping our minds to live as He did.


He lived to listen and obey the Father, set apart from this world, and that is what we need to do as well to have everlasting life.


Nothing compares to being a child of God with the hope of salvation and eternal life through Jesus Christ.


All things of this world are dust and will pass away in a moment, but Jesus is eternal treasure.


If you haven’t already accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior and been baptized with the Holy Spirit, now is the time to take the best first step of your life! Humble yourself and pray in truth from your heart:


Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior:

“Father, I am a sinner and in need of salvation. I know the only way to attain salvation is through Your Son, Jesus Christ. I give You all of myself in flesh and in spirit; my body, mind, and soul. Lord Jesus, forgive my sin by the power of Your blood and show me Your ways so that I may be pleasing to You as Your disciple. Hold close my salvation that You freely give to me out of Your great mercy and love for me. I am in need of Your protection from evil and Your provision for my days. My desire is for You; to consume Your word and obey Your commands.”

Get baptized with the Holy Spirit:

“Father, I ask for Your gift of the Holy Spirit to come down upon me, baptize me, and teach me Your wisdom, scribe it on my heart. Give me understanding as often as I ask. May I be renewed and strengthened by Your word flowing through the Holy Spirit into my heart and vitalizing my soul. Renew my mind this day and feed me Your bread so that I become one mind with You. Thank you, Lord, great are Your ways. Glory to Your holy name.”


Go forth and sin no more in all fear of Me lest you fall away. Seek Me and you shall find Me. Rejoice in My word. Cast your burdens at My feet and I will carry you. No child of the living God will hunger or thirst. Be of good cheer; you belong to the light.


What’s next? Seek Jesus in your heart every day and place your life entirely in His care. This is a first step to living a life of righteousness as He requires for eternal life.


His yoke is easy; you will discover by communing with Him in spirit, the ways of the world will soon fade.


Be mindful to put down sin and live a righteous life so you may succeed.
