SUMMARY

• In summary every believer is seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus far above all principalities and powers. •We have authority over the devil and all principalities and powers and are called to do the works Christ did.•The journey is a continuous one of learning and growing in the knowledge of God’s word and the truth contained therein. And more importantly receiving these truths in our hearts.

SUMMARY

•Our ability to exercise our authority effectively through prayer is a function of both the level of our faith and how we exercise the love of God that has been shed abroad in our heart. •We are called to reign in life as Kings with the love of God that has been shed abroad in our heart in service to all and in humility so that we may not fall into pride.

RECEIVING THE GIFT OF SALVATION •Are you saved? Have you received God’s gift of salvation (Eph. 2:8)? I encourage you to accept the Lord’s precious gift of salvation which is freely available to the whole of mankind.•Faith in Jesus Christ is primarily what is required to be saved. The bible tells us for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23) and the wages of sin is death (Rom 6:23). As a result, the whole of mankind deserves to be separated from God eternally (Rom 6:23).

RECEIVING THE GIFT OF SALVATION •However, our Father loves us dearly and as such he sent His only begotten son to die in our place (John 3:16-17) so that we may be saved and has through Christ reconciled us back to Himself (2nd Corth 5:18). • It is not His desire that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2nd Pet 3:9) and accept His precious gift of salvation. If you would like to accept this gift please say the following confession.

RECEIVING THE GIFT OF SALVATION •Father I come to You in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the son of God and that He died for my sins and was raised from the dead for my justification according to the scriptures. I believe that because of His death, burial and resurrection, I am set right with God. So I receive Him(Jesus) in my heart as my saviour and confess Him with my mouth as my Lord. Thank You, Lord.
