1 Your introduction to the Lord Jesus Christ: What you are getting yourself into
2 So you want to become Born Again? If so, good! However, you will get straight talk about what you are getting yourself into. First, this is a very serious decision and this decision should be thought out VERY carefully. If you decide to go forward, this instrument will get you to meet The Lord Jesus Christ. Once you meet Him, you are to talk to Him and do exactly what He tells you to do. You see, you are in a war zone and you did not even know it. There is fighting all around you right now even as you read this. There are sinister forces around you that want to hurt you, harm you, and even kill you. As you look into getting into a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, these same forces will put obstructions in your way to hinder you from giving your heart to Jesus. If you decide to continue on, you need to know a few things. Everything you have ever said is being recorded. Everything. That will include the cursing you did, the backbiting you did, and even the lies you told. This is why you need to get with the Lord Jesus Christ so you can clear your ledger with Him, as He will be judging those who die and come before Him. But you already knew this, correct? This is why you want to get right with Jesus now while you can. Know that what you say is binding like a contract and this does determine your destiny in your life. When you confess with your mouth meaning you speak audibly that Jesus is your Lord and Saviour, those words bind you to Jesus. When you give heart to Jesus in other words, you will become subservient to Him they you are obligated to do as He says, when He says, how He says. When you meet Jesus, have Him explain this to you so you will have more understanding. So, you say, I am not subservient to anyone. I am free! Are you? 1
3 What you do not know is that there is a god of this world, known as satan, that has you captured and bound. You are already doing what he wants, how he wants it, and how he likes it. That is why you see people smoking dope, killing, maiming, and raping. That is what the god of this world wants because he likes those things. You are already subservient to him, especially if you are fearful and intimidated. So, you have a choice to make. If you decide that you do not want to be Born Again, that is fine, as that is your choice. However, know that if you die not knowing Jesus, you will be judged by Him and then sent away from Him because He does not know who you are. You see, if you want to make it into Heaven, you have to know Jesus intimately. That means He knows you as you know Him. Here is an example of what I am talking about. If you saw Katy Perry (we know she is demonic now, this is just an example), let s say, and you went up to her after a concert, saying that you know her, you would be escorted away from her by security. Why? She does not know you. For her to know you, you would need to be introduced to her, and then she would have to acknowledge you as someone she has met and knows personally. It will be then and only then you would be allowed to go backstage and hang out with her. It is the same thing with Jesus. Many people say Man, I know Jesus when they really don t. As with Katy Perry, if you are not known by Jesus personally, you will be escorted out and away from Jesus home, which is Heaven, and thrown in the fire. Your confession today with your words is an introduction for a relationship with the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Once you enter into that relationship, you are not only bound to Jesus, but if you love Him, you would do as He says. Unlike the god of this world, Jesus gives you a choice and will not violate that choice. If you choose to walk away from Jesus, that is fine, but do not expect Him to do anything for you or help you. It is only when you stay with Him and walk with Him will He get to know you and you will get to know Him. When you die, and if you have been walking with Jesus faithfully, then and only then will you be invited into His home, which is Heaven. Can you see how this works? If you decide to make Jesus the Lord of your life, you will do as He says when He says and how He says to do things. This will mean that you will give up certain behaviours that are worldly; this will mean that you will lose a LOT of friends, acquaintances, 2
4 relatives and family who will think you are joining a cult and crazy and they will turn away from you. You need to know this as you make your choice. This is time well spent, as you will now know for sure what you are getting yourself into. If you do not want to continue, close this book here and go on your way. This will not be for you, and you can continue as you are in the world. really is and follow the rabbit hole to see where it goes. It is your choice. Think of this as the red pill, blue pill moment in the movie The Matrix. If you swallow the blue pill, you go back to the matrix and go on with your life in the matrix. If you swallow the red pill, you will see what the matrix If you want to continue, the read on. If you think this is a bunch of junk and you don t have time for this, then close this book and go on your way as this is not for you. 3
5 Want to continue on? When you give of yourself to Jesus, that means you will need to give everything to Him. Give Him all of you and do not hold back. Let Jesus govern all of you, from your checkbook to what you will wear every day. You will need to verbally give Jesus dominion over you and then be obedient to the Lord Jesus Christ. As a new Disciple of Christ, He will want you to consult with Him before you do anything. That means anything. Jesus will establish a means of communication with Him so you will know that it is Him talking to you. After you have given governance of yourself to the Lord Jesus Christ, ask Him for the Spirit of truth, the Holy Spirit. Ask Jesus what you need to do to prepare for the Holy Spirit. Jesus will respond and tell you what you need to do. He will then dispatch the Holy Spirit to you when He is ready to do so. When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be speaking on other tongues, in languages that you cannot understand. The Holy Spirit will then talk to you. When the Holy Spirit does talk to you, He will sit you down and He will tell you that you are to obey His commands. The Holy Spirit will teach you all that you will need to know; He will guide you and show you things as long as you stay obedient to Him. The Holy Spirit is God, and He is sent by Jesus to train and help His disciples. The Holy Spirit will help you discern if something is a lie or not. There is a lot of deception down here that is shown as truth when it is not. If you are not serious, and you blow the Holy Spirit off like He is some kind of clown, or lie to Him, this will grieve Him and He will leave you. You will then be turned over to Jesus and He will deal with you harshly. This is nothing to play with, so if you are not willing to go through the process of knowing and being with Jesus, you need to stop right here. Close this book and go on your way. If you want to continue, the read on. If you think this is a bunch of junk and you don t have time for this, then close this book and go on your way as this is not for you. 4
6 Keep Reading if you are Serious If you are serious, then take the correction of the Holy Spirit and the Lord Jesus Christ and do exactly as they say to do. Now, when you first meet Jesus, you may want to sit and talk with Him, and that is OK. Actually, that is encouraged, and Jesus will sit and talk with you about whatever you want to talk about. He will also help you to get to know Him better and you will start to understand His ways. You will learn how to pray and how to get understanding from your Bible. Know that Jesus will NOT teach you or show you anything unless you commit yourself to Him. Jesus has a lot of gifts to give you, but He will not do so until you have committed yourself to Him and mean it. Now, let s talk about what happens after you have given yourself to Jesus. When you get accepted by Jesus, you job is to sit down and learn from Jesus and the Holy Spirit after He has been dispatched to you. That is ALL you have to do. Do not go out and try to start a ministry because you will not be ready. Do not go on you Tube like many others trying to sound Christian. No. You need to be quiet, sit down, and learn of Jesus Christ first. If the Lord Jesus Christ wants you to go and do something for Him, He will not only tell you what He wants you to do, but He will prepare you for the journey and the task He is sending you to do. Stay with Jesus and follow Him; do NOT run ahead of Jesus. 5
7 This is very important, so it will be repeated again here: As a new believer in Christ, your job is to sit down and learn from Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Do not try and do anything without the express permission of your Lord and Saviour. If you go on You Tube or the internet and start espousing truth that has NOT been authorized by the Lord Jesus Christ, you can lead many people astray. If you do lead people astray YOU will be held responsible and severely punished for doing what you did. Keep your eyes on Jesus and run everything you see and hear by Him. Let Him give you the go ahead to do something for Him as He will allow it. If you cannot do this, and you just have to start a ministry, stop right here. Close this book and go on your way. You wanting to start a ministry is YOU wanting to make some money on the name of Jesus Christ, and that is NOT how this goes. That is NOT of Christ. 6
8 Know that you will hunted by the devil If you give yourself to Jesus Christ Understand that because you are turning away from the devil and his dictates, he will try and hunt you down so you can continue to be enslaved like the rest of the people in the world. The devil is like a pimp who will ignore you and treat you badly until you decide to leave him. Then he will do anything to get you back, and once you are back in his stable, he beats you harder because you tried to leave him in the first place. The devil will send his people after you to try and get you back and draw you away from the Lord Jesus Christ. I will give you an example of this. Here is the true story about Gloria (not her real name), who is a 19 year old virgin female who has lived a sheltered life, and is going to school to become a nurse. Gloria went to church and liked it. When the altar call was made, Gloria decided that she wanted to be a Christian so she went and confessed Jesus to be her Lord and Savior. Of course everyone was happy for her, and there was a lot of clapping and smiling. Gloria was saved, and she is a baby Christian starting her walk with The Lord Jesus Christ. Less than ONE MONTH after Gloria gave her heart to Christ, she met - at school a guy who is less than ambitious and smokes weed all day. He has no job and for all we know, he is still living in his mother s basement. Covertly, he is also an atheist and a warlock (as he is into divination), but he likes Gloria, our baby Christian, and wants to date her. Now, wait a minute. Gloria has been around for 19 years, and has never had a boyfriend, and has been single all of that time. So why is it that this guy is NOW coming around trying to be her boyfriend? Can t you see what is going on here? 7
9 The devil has sent one of his agents to get close to and seduce Gloria who has JUST given her life to Jesus. This weed smoking bum of an agent is about to turn her life upside down because she is ignorant of the devil s people and what they do. This guy absolutely wants to get into Gloria s pants and drop a load of semen into her, which would defile her temple, which is her body, and the Lord has already said that a defiled temple will be destroyed. This guy is good at schmoozing women like Gloria, and she is at the point where he is cozying up to her in her bedroom and she is letting him. She has no idea of the trap that the devil has laid for her. Gloria has all but forgotten about her first love, Jesus, because this dude is showering her with love and affection, with the intent of having sex with her at some point, even after breaking down her defenses where she tells him no sex. Do you really think that is enough to drive off this devil? This is what we are facing here. If it wasn t for some mature Christians who were astute enough to see what the devil is doing, Gloria would already be lost and enslaved by the devil after she has given up her virginity to a weed smoking atheist bum. Unless she chooses to kick this bum to the curb, she is opening herself up to diseases, STDs, some of which will kill her, having a baby out of wedlock, which will cause her to have to drop out of school to take care of the baby, and ruin any chance of becoming a nurse who CAN do some good and help others while making a pretty good living. If this weed smoking bum gets busted for having and transporting illegal substances by the police, and Gloria is with him, who do you think will get arrested with the weed smoking bum, be fingerprinted and booked with him, again ruining any chance of becoming a nurse who now has an arrest record? Do you think that any hospital or facility will hire Gloria when they find out about her arrest record being busted for illegal 8
10 substances? Do you think they are going to TRUST her around patient narcotics knowing she was busted with illegal substances? In other words, this bum will destroy her life and enslave her to the devil, and she will have no means of escape. This is how the devil does people. Let this be one of your first lessons, as the devil will send one of his agents after you to draw you away from Jesus Christ. That agent will be the man or woman of your dreams, and they will be your type and have all of the body parts that you like. They will be smooth and be exactly like you have dreamed things to be for the one. You will think that this is a reward for you giving your life to Jesus, but it will be the devil yoking you back to him getting you into doing things that you should not be doing. This is why you need to run things by Jesus first, so He can tell you if this is from Him or not. Stand fast with Jesus Christ if you are in a situation and let Jesus guide you so you will be safe. If you think this is a bunch of junk and that this is garbage, close the book now and go on your way. This book is not for you. If you can see the inherent danger you would be in, and you want Jesus to protect you from this thing that is killing and destroying people, read on. 9
11 One Last thing you should know When you give your life to Jesus, do NOT just pick any church and go to it as a Christian. NO. What you will need to do is to let the Holy Spirit guide you to where He wants you to go. Follow the lead of the Holy Spirit who will guide you into ALL truth. Just going to church will lead you astray, as many churches are led by people who are not even Christian, born again, saved, or authorized by the Lord Jesus Christ. This is why it is important to have Jesus guide you Himself or have the Holy Spirit guide you if Jesus sent Him to you. Wherever the Holy Spirit guides you, this is where you go. It may be a website, or a church; that is up to Him to decide. You may always ask Jesus for confirmation if you are not sure. The Holy Spirit will NOT be offended if you check with Jesus to confirm all that you do. Understand that this world is evil, and there are a lot of snares and traps set for you so you will stumble and fall. Stay close to Jesus and listen to the Holy Spirit as He guides you around the traps and snares. At this time, you can choose if you want to be saved as a Christian or not. By reading on, I will have a prayer for you which you will need to articulate verbally. In other words, you have to speak normally. Say this prayer out loud in a place that is quiet that you can be in where the Lord can and will talk to you directly. Once you recite the prayer, you will be left to talk and build a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. It will be up to you to listen and be obedient to what the Lord Jesus Christ tells you to do. After you recite the prayer, you will WAIT for the Lord Jesus Christ to summon you. When He does, talk to Him as you would any other person in front of you. Be sincere; lay out all of the things that are bothering you. He will listen, and he will talk to you in a manner you will understand. If you are ready, then read on. If you are not ready, close this book and go on your way. You can think about what you are going to do, and then reread this book when you have decided. 10
12 I am ready to meet Jesus right now When you are ready, say this prayer out loud: Lord, in the name of Jesus, I humble myself in front of you today as I ask you to be my Lord and Saviour. I have read all about what it means to be a Born Again, and now I am ready to become your Disciple. I humbly ask for you to please govern me fully. I am giving you everything I am and everything I own my car, my home, my family, my checkbook everything - so you can govern my life starting from this moment. I am also giving you my body as a living sacrifice so you can use me to do things for you. Please forgive all of my sins and I am sorry. Please let me know what I am to do next as I await your commands. Finally, Lord, I want to be taught and know you in all truth. I am asking for you to please send the Holy Spirit so He can teach me and guide me so I can be ready and prepared for whatever you want for me to do. In Jesus name I pray. Now that you have prayed for Jesus, sit and WAIT for Him to summon you. What He is doing is reading your heart right now, and if you are serious, He will respond. If you are one of those who just read through to see what will be said, tell the Lord you are sorry for looking for something to ridicule and that you would like to know Him as well. He will read your heart as well, and He may respond if He chooses to. You have now been introduced to Jesus. It is up to you from this point to get to know Him better. Let Jesus guide you into what you need to read or do. Let Jesus send you His Holy Spirit to teach you and guide you. Jesus will tell you what bible to get and show you where you will go to get the teaching you need so you can grow in grace. Know that now it is up to YOU to do what Jesus says to make YOUR salvation sure. YOU will be responsible for YOUR place in Heaven. This is an individual affair, and YOU will be the one standing in front of Jesus when YOU die to be judged ALONE. Leave your friends out of this, as YOU need to make it to Heaven for YOU. 11
