Do it anyway! - Ceri Watson
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10v9.
A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege, alongside Marc to pray with a wonderful man as he gave his life to Jesus.
I was stirred during the worship to simply ask him once the meeting finished.
He didn't know the ins and outs of what to do or what his journey ahead would look like. He was simply happy to begin, to pray and make Jesus his Lord.
I had no idea when I woke up that morning that this was part of God's plan for the day. I hadn't prepared for it. There was nothing eloquent and scripted about what we prayed. I didn't draw a picture or pull out a tract. We just stood together as people on a journey with Jesus. I felt a little vulnerable, but I know God loves people and wants to save, so that was enough to make me brave!
I know the Word of God is 100% trustworthy, even if my words were messy and muddled!
Next time I'll be a little more prepared, but my encouragement is this, whether you think you have all the words or not, do it anyway! When the Spirit prompts, ask the question. "Would you like to give your life to Jesus?" God is the one who saves. He's looking for open hearts and faithful servants not professional prayers!
