Dear Father in Heaven: I love You. Please forgive me of my sins. Thanks for all the rain. It sure is appreciated. Dear Lord, I want to appreciate all things that You do for us. Please help me be more appreciative to you and also everyone that I have dealings with here on earth. I thank You for the message this day and I ask that You help me on this our Salvation Wednesday to put a message out that comes directly from You through the power of the Holy Spirit. Then, Lord, I pray You will help me get it dispatched. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
Dear brothers and sisters, as you are aware, we on this line refer to Wednesdays as Salvation Wednesday. That does not mean we should not be thinking about Salvation the other six days of each week. So today I do want to talk to all of you about Salvation and who gives it to us and when and where did He give it to us. I pray all of you are doing well. So let me have at it.
Salvation Wednesday: May 4, 2016: Salvation
Acts 4:11 - He is "'The stone you builders rejected which has become the capstone.'" (NIV)
Have you ever in your life felt unwanted? Maybe at work, you have done a great job but nobody gives you a pat on the back and tells you well done, I really appreciate it. Yes, that gets to us, as we all like to be told when we do a good job. I mean, after all, we get told about it if we mess up. Well, brothers and sisters, the best of the very best, our Lord and Savior, was rejected among men. He was according to the Bible a stone that builders even rejected. Jesus was not good enough for a lot of people when He walked the earth, still when He was on the cross and dying, He forgave all those who were working at killing Him. So on those days you feel rejected or not appreciated, smile and sing out, for you are indeed in good company. You are in the company of not a king but The King, King Jesus. Amen.
Acts 4:12 - Salvation is found in no one else for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. (NIV)
Here I want to bring out that only Jesus and through His Blood shed on Calvary to save us, can really save us. No church leader, not your pastor or priest, not any elder of the church can save you. Although if you are attending a good church, those church leaders should be pointing you in the right direction to be saved. Don't worship your church leaders, worship Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone. Amen.
Matthew 1:21 - She will give birth to a Son and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins. (NIV)
Brothers and sisters, again I point this scripture to you and tell you that Jesus is not one way among many or other ways to get into Heaven. "Jesus is the only way." Please do not be fooled. And you must believe and you must really try and repent of your sins, not just talk about it. Some of our sins are hard to put away, really hard. Think about your life, you might have some sins that you are having a real problem repenting from. The more that happens the more you need to be in prayer with God the Father, and again that goes through Jesus Christ.
John 14:6 - Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (NIV)
Again, and this confirms and works hand in hand with Acts 4:12 that I used above. Jesus, I said Jesus, is the one and only way to get into heaven. There are no substitutes. None, zero, zip. NO OTHER WAY BUT JESUS. You can have others lead you, as I am trying to do this day, and you might be leading others, but make no doubt about it, Jesus is the one and only one who can forgive your sins and save you from HELL, PERIOD. Will you come to Jesus today, or at least renew with me this day?
Dear Father in Heaven, I come to You right now, coming in the name of Jesus asking You to save me. I believe in my heart that Jesus is Lord and that He died on the cross for me and to save me of my sins. Today I confess that with my mouth. I also believe that Jesus was risen from the dead and today sits with God the Father to judge us when we arrive at the gate. Please, dear Lord, write my name this day in the Lamb's Book of Life. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
Now go forth and tell others of this great thing called SALVATION. Keep loving Jesus and yes, I love ya.

Saved to Tell Others (by Hollywood Gospel Team, Arthur Woodsey)
We're saved, saved to tell others of the Man of Galilee.
Saved, saved to live daily for the Christ of Calvary.
Saved, saved to invite you to His Salvation free.
We're saved, saved, saved by His Blood for all eternity.
