Spiritual CPR

Spiritual CPR is an effective tool to help you pray
I first learned about Spiritual CPR years ago at a conference. I gave it a try and it honestly it helped change my prayer life tremendously. So many times we come to God in prayer first and only with our requests. The "give me, give me, all about me" attitude.
The idea behind Spiritual CPR is to use your Bible during prayer reading and meditating on specific verses for each topic - (Confession, Praise, & Request). Rather than beginning with requests you begin with confession getting your heart right before God. Next is praising God for who He is and what He has already done in your life. After our heart is right and we have rightfully given God praise we are now ready to request. It will amaze you at how many times you get stuck at only confession or praise. Give it a try it for a week or two and see what happens to your prayer life.
1. Confession
- Proverbs 4:23-27
- Galatians 5:19-24

What Is the Mission?
There are various ways to communicate the Gospel to people. There is not a set 1-2-3 method. We will walk through one method that has proven to be extremely effective and easy to remember. After we ask our spiritual discovery question of, "If you died today, where would you go?” typical responses will be something like: “I hope Heaven.” “I think Heaven.” “I’m not really sure.” “Can I really know?” “You can’t really be sure.” From there you can ask permission once again and follow with one of these questions: “Can I show you how you can know 100% for sure you can go to Heaven from the Bible?” “Do you mind if I show you what the Bible says about that?” “Do you have a few minutes for me to show you how to receive the gift of eternal life?” If they answer yes, they have given you permission to share the Gospel. Use the Bible and walk through the gospel. Allow the person to see and read the scriptures for themselves. It is helpful to mark your Bible with the following verses by highlighting the verse and then writing the next verse on the page somewhere so you know where to go next. Memorize and know these verses inside and out.
