E -P- INTERNATIONAL O H PRODUCTIONS P.O. Box 1305 Jamestown, NC 27282 Established December 19, 1995, H.O.P.E. International Productions is the ever-growing dream of the author of Happy Salvation Birthday, Christine Marshall Fairley. The company and the book itself have been produced from a single dream that Christine had in 1962. She woke one morning and revealed to her mother that she wanted to work on the Project Hope ship. Forty years later, her dream began to manifest not in the natural realm but in the spirit realm. A study of I Thessalonians 4:17 revealed the word HOPE, “I’m holding out people for eternity” (ministry of salvation encouragement). Future studies revealed an answer to her longing for an intense fellowship with her Savior and family members. The common denominator revelation was for her and her family to celebrate their personal confession of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of their lives...the clause “Happy Salvation Birthday” was coined. A dream team was developed to keep the HOPE dream alive: Brenda Green, Diane Teer, Barbara Smith, Anna Austin, Katrelia Young, Debbie Zaroba, Joe Carr and Lille Marshall (deceased). © Copyright 2015 H.O.P.E.

27 Victories That Pave The Way For Your Salvation Confession
God created man in His own righteous image, an image that was quickly tarnished by the disobedience of Adam and Eve who were given free will. It was by their disobedience that they fell from spiritual life to spiritual death and every generation to come after them. But God loved mankind so much that He has a master plan to redeem mankind by their own free will...which is to receive His begotten Son...Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of their lives. Genesis 1:26 Genesis 2:16-17 Genesis 3:6 Genesis 3:15
Spiritual Rebirth What is spiritual rebirth?
1
ROM AN S
12:2
Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good and perfect will of God. Adam and Eve and generations since have chosen to live in a spirit of wickedness, deceit and jealousies which is of this world. In order to achieve a renewed relationship with God, a transforming of a renewed mind by the power of the Holy Spirit develops a discernment of what is good and pleasing to God.
2 I
-6 3:4 N J OH
Mankind – Name
Who can receive the renewing of their mind for the spiritual rebirth experience? Everyone who commits sin also breaks the law; sin is the breaking of law. You know that He was revealed so that He might take away sin, and there is no sin in Him. Everyone who remains in Him does not sin; everyone who sins has not seen Him or knows Him. Adam and Eve’s offspring, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, provides a way of escape from eternal death to eternal life for all mankind.

Gender
GEN ESI S
1:27
Is the spiritual renewal of the mind meant for male as well as for female? So God created man in his own image; He created him in the image of God; He created them male and female. When God created His master plan for mankind’s redemption, He was thinking of all mankind, male and female alike.
4 34 10: S ACT
35
Race
Is the spiritual rebirth of the mind meant for a particular race of people? Then Peter began to speak, “In truth, I understand that God doesn't show favoritism, but in every nation the person who fears Him and does righteousness is acceptable to Him.” God’s redemptive plan for the renewing of the mind is for all people of the world.

Is there a particular location for the conversion of a person's mind?
…and was sitting in his chariot on his way home, reading the prophet Isaiah aloud. God has no favored season of time or place for the renewing of your mind.

Nation
What spiritual nation is their conversion recorded? Therefore, you should pray like this: Our Father in heaven, Your name be honored as holy‌ Although God has no favored season, time or place for the renewing of your mind, there is a special place where this important decision is recorded – in Heaven.

Spiritual Rebirth Date
REV 20:15
What is the memorial date of the spiritual rebirth?
So then each of us will give an account of himself to God. Anyone not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. God expects us to give an account of ourselves to Him because at mankind’s final judgment, your name must be written in the Book of Life in order to live eternally with God.

Spiritual Father
Who is your spiritual father? Then God said, “Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness…They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth.” When we give an account of ourselves to God our Father, we are reminded of our responsibilities to live in the light of His word and to keep dominion over His creation.
Spiritual Mother Who is your spiritual mother?
9 R OM AN S8 :11
And if the Spirit (Holy) of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through His Spirit who lives in you. When we give an account of ourselves to God our Creator, it reminds us that we have His Spirit living in us to help in our daily decisions of living by His Word.
10 ES J AM
6 5:1
Witness
Who can witness a person's spiritual rebirth? Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed.
Because God said He would never leave or forsake us, He expects the brotherhood of believers to support each other through the growth of faith in Christ Jesus; therefore, we are to be a witness to one another in our faith journey.
Repentance
11 AC TS 3
:19
What should be the attitude of the converting person?
Therefore, repent and turn back, that your sins may be wiped out so that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord. The witness of our lives to one another should be by continual repentance of our sins as we turn away from the world’s darkness to a life of goodness.

Disobedience
What problem does the worship of disobedience cause for a person? But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly bring in destructive heresies even denying the master who brought them, and will bring swift destruction on themselves. Our witness to one another will strengthen all and encourage the world to turn from its disobedient spirit of wickedness, deceit and jealousies to a life of righteouisness by Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.
Communion
13 HEB RE WS 6
:1920
How was the broken relationship of communion mended between man and God? We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek. The communion of the people of faith provides a valuable tool as they learn and teach others how the broken relationship of mankind from God was redeemed by Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten son.
14 N JOH
3 :7
Denounce
Is there a command that a sinful soul must denounce their heresy against God? You should not be surprised at my saying, “You must be born again.� The redemptive story of Jesus Christ for mankind speaks of man denouncing his heresy to God by being born again, converting from the spirit of death to a spirit of life.
Believe
15 JOH
N1
: 12
What does a person have to do to obtain the right to be a child of God?
Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God. Believe that you have the right to be a child of God in the name of Jesus.

Confession
What confession does a person make in order to establish a renewed spirit of mind? If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,� and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. With the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.
Your belief in Jesus comes when you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead by His power.
Jesus Christ
17 ISA IAH
9:6
Who is the person that governs the mind of man?
For a child (Jesus) will be born for us, a Son will be given to us, and the government will be on His shoulders. He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was born with the burden of mankind’s salvation on His shoulders.
18 RO
4 8:3S N MA
Intercessor
Is Jesus the only intercessor who provides us with a sin offering to God for our sinful actions? What the law could not do since it was limited by the flesh, God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending His own Son in flesh like ours under sin's domain, and as a sin offering.
Because the law was limited to freeing mankind from the world, God offered to free mankind by sending His only son as an Intercessor.
Suffered
19 MA RK
8:31
Did Jesus have to suffer in order to complete the sin offering He made for us? Then He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, be killed, and raised after three days.
Jesus had to suffer the crucifixion to atone mankind back to God by the hands of the elders, chief priest, scribes and common man of His day.
20 RK MA
39 15 :
Death
Did Jesus die from the sin offering He made for us? When the centurion, who was standing opposite Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, “This man really was God's Son”.
Jesus not only suffered many things but also died on the cross as a sin offering for mankind’s evil heart and wicked actions.
Burial Was Jesus buried after the crucifixion?
21 MA RK 15: 46-4 7
After he bought some fine linen, he took Him down and wrapped Him in the linen. Then he placed Him in a tomb cut out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb after His crucifixion.
22 6:6 K1 R MA
Resurrection
Was Jesus resurrected from the grave? “Don't be alarmed,” he told them. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene who was crucified. He has been resurrected! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.” Because Jesus was the Son of God with all power, He was raised from the grave three days after His crucifixion.

How many times did Jesus make a sin offering for the purpose of saving man from their sinful nature?
For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that He might bring you to God, after being put to death in the fleshly realm but made alive in the spiritual realm. For the purpose of saving mankind from his sinful life, Jesus suffered, died, was buried, and resurrected from the grave only one time for all sin.

Rebirth
What is the evidence of a person's spiritual rebirth? We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him. The power of the Holy Spirit will help you denounce the disobedient spirit you have against God as you accept Jesus Christ as your intercessor for the New Covenant relationship with God.
25
Sealed
ROM AN S
5:6
How do you know that the time you received Jesus as your Redeemer, Savior and Lord of your soul is sealed with God?
For while we were still helpless, at the appointed moment, Christ died for the ungodly. It was God’s purpose to save all mankind from the world’s sinful nature and because of His plan, He sealed it by the blood atonement of His Son, Jesus Christ.
26 2 EW H TT MA
6:28
Blood
What did God use to symbolize Jesus’ suffering, death, burial and resurrection for the sacrifice covenant of man's redemption? For this is My blood that establishes the covenant; it is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus’ suffering, death, burial and resurrection by way of the Cross was a blood sacrifice to God for the redemption of mankind’s New Covenant with God.
God
27 JOH N3
:16
Who gave the gift of Jesus Christ to man in order to reconcile man back to God?
For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. God created mankind in His own image, gave the gift of His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, as a sealed and blood covenant sacrifice for mankind’s redemption.
