cleverness.”

Prayer of Salvation
Heavenly Father,
I renounce every false teaching
outside of Your Word. I believe that
Jesus is Your Son & God in the flesh.
I believe that Jesus is the only way
to You. I know that I am a sinner,
and my good works will never make
me righteous. Clothe me in the
righteousness of Jesus Christ by His
shed blood on the Cross. Thank you
for filling me with the Holy Spirit
who will lead me and guide me into
all truth.
In Jesus’ name
Amen
