What must I do to be saved and receive God’s Holy Spirit? 

Receive the Deliverer by faith. Mark 1:15; John 3:16; Mark 16:15-16; Heb 11:1,6. Remember it’s God that grants repentance which is necessary for deliverance. Acts 11:18. You, as a sinner, are in a bad condition and God has the remedy. Rom. 3:23; Psalms 51; John 3:16  Recognize that Jesus Christ, the son of God, is the deliverer. All spirits – whether on earth and/or in Heaven must bow down to Jesus Christ, the son of God. Jesus has given us everything we need to be delivered. Sin separates us from a good relationship with God. The penalty of sin is eternal damnation.

In order to have a good relationship with God, Jesus Christ, the son of God and also the deliverer, gave his life in our (all human beings) stead on the cross of Calvary over 2000 years ago so every human being can be saved from eternal damnation if we receive Him as our Lord and Savior. Romans 3:23 states “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God so ALL human beings need to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior in order to be saved from eternal torment/damnation and get power to live free from sinning or transgressing God’s laws and commandments and/or being tormented by demons or evil spirits and so much more.

I John 1:9 states If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Pray the following prayer out loud:

“Father, in the name of thy son Jesus Christ, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry and now I want to repent and turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me of all of my sins and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son Jesus Christ died for my sins and was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus Christ to become the Lord of my life and to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost to help me stop sinning and to obey You and to do Your will for the rest of my life In Jesus Christ name I pray. Amen.”

–BAPTISM THROUGH WATER IN THE NAME OF JESUS. Be baptized (in water) for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:37-41; 1Peter 3:21; John 3:3-5; Acts 22:16; Romans 6:3-8; Colossians 2:12; Galatians 3:26-27; Mark 16:15-16; Acts 8:34-39; Titus 3:5; Ephesians 4:5; Matthew 28:18-20)

–BAPTISM BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. Remain faithful to Jesus Christ for the rest of our lives (Revelation 2:10; Matthew 24:13; Luke  In order to REMAIN faithful and live overcoming lives, we strive to develop and form CHRIST WITHIN US by receiving the Holy Spirit aka Holy Ghost. Acts 2:1-39 Romans 8:9 – But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.

Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

The following lists scriptures about the Holy Spirit:

John 14:26 ESV

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

Acts 1:8 ESV

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

Acts 2:38 ESV

And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

John 16:13 ESV

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.

Romans 8:26-27 ESV

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
