Born Again Poem
You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart ... JEREMIAH 29:13 NIV
This poem voices my commitment to being a new creation in Christ. It reminds me that I am not the person I used to be. It is Satan who keeps throwing my past up in my face. I have to stay in the word of God (that is the Holy Bible) to remind myself of who I really am (that is a child of God) on a daily basis. I thank God everyday for giving us the opportunity to have an intimate relationship with him if we really want to know Him.
BORN AGAIN
Yahweh (God),
You have blessed me in so many ways, and I am grateful.
I am grateful for my success, my trials, and my tribulations
For in all of these experiences you have revealed truth,
wisdom, and direction for my life.
I have gained a better understanding of myself, and you, my creator.
I thank you for the opportunity to have a closer relationship with you,
through your son, Yahshua (Jesus), the Messiah.
I have, through faith, come to acknowledge your son, Yahshua (Jesus) as the Messiah, the sacrificial lamb, the living sacrifice, and God in the flesh.
Thank you for loving us so much that you offered the innocent blood of your
one and only son to wash us of our sins if we just believe in His love.
Your love for us compelled him to be abused, ridiculed, tortured, mocked,
and ultimately killed, so that he could be resurrected in three days, thereby conquering death forever.
Through prayer and faith, I asked you to reveal the truth to me,
and you opened up my heart to receive your son as your Word,
which is your promise and the truth forever.
I believe in your Holy Word as translated in the Holy Bible.
I understand that the truth is revealed to my heart as I read the God
inspired words of your disciples and scribes, and I am awed by the mysteries
that you reveal through your Holy Spirit.
I know that I have much to learn as I turn away from the metaphysical way of life that you have revealed to me as witchcraft that had me bound for many years. I turn away from astrology, tarot cards, psychics, ritualistic prayer, manipulation, control, seduction, and addictions.
I know that you are always guiding me to truth
and it is my responsibility to accept and learn from it.
I accept that you love me and want only the best for me.
I accept your forgiveness, your mercy and you grace.
I forgive myself.
I accept love, success, happiness, health, wealth,
and fulfillment of your purpose for my life,
as a result of a closer walk with you.
Thank you Lord, for your mercy and grace.
I belong to you.
