After the Altar Call

I am so grateful to God for the salvation altar calls that are answered each and every Sunday! It blesses me so much to see people come up and accept Christ as their personal savior. Yesterday, I noticed that four men went up during our Sunday service and they weren't tiny "wimpy" looking men either. I was rejoicing over their souls...like it says that the Angels do when people choose to come to God. It makes them rejoice when another soul is added to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Then I began thinking of how at that moment of repeating the salvation prayer, your heart is beating out of your chest, it is the BEST moment of your life...from that moment on you have Christ living in you!! But then..what happens after the altar call?? That part is up to you.


Some people, and I pray that this isn't the case, may walk away from the altar and never again come back to church (to ANY church, not just mine). That breaks my heart to think that. They need to be instructed that "ok, now that you just made the decision to follow Christ, you need to attend church regularly, read your bible, pray daily, get around other believers." We do have someone tell them about these things after our altar calls. They even get a free bible. God is so good!
I just pray that they know what they just said...they asked the God of creation to live inside of them!! I pray they are ready and allow him to clean house in their heart...rid them of addictions, hurts, fear, unclean spirits, etc.
What an important prayer!!!!!!!!!


Let us be mindful that these people are BRAND NEW Christians...they need to be discipled, encouraged, motivated...
Come along side of one today...everyone has a part.

Please agree with me in this prayer:
Father, I ask in the name of Jesus that you quicken your spirit inside of your new additions to your family...I thank you Lord that they accepted you and are now granted eternal life with you. Father, I speak a mighty anointing over their lives..to follow you with all that they have, to know you and to be in your word...speak to them and draw them all closer. Send others to encourage them and help strengthen their new foundation in you. I ask this all in Jesus' name, amen.
