Now Thanks Be To God, Who Always Leads Us In Triumph In Christ, And Through Us Defuses The Fragrance Of His Knowledge In Every Place

The Fragrance Of God Is Like A Sweet Life-Giving Perfume

JEREMIAH 29:11
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
”‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11‬ ‭NKJV‬

Jesus is our only hope, the only way to our Father in heaven (JOHN 14:6).
The truth is, our world leaders cannot bring peace, instead we have lawlessness, sexual immortality, poverty, hunger, violence, persecution, and murder.
Furthermore, our world faces financial collapse, wars, high inflation, and unemployment is rising as businesses are collapsing.
We see rising mental health issues, depression and suicides as we face gloom and doom day after day.
The people live in fear as our world leaders take us on a path of deception and lies that are taking us toward the New World Order; one self elected government, one religion, and one cashless monetary system headed by the devil.
“He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭13‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It is sad to see so many people sucked in by the lies and evil schemes of the devil. But these things shall come to pass as written.
Thank God, for He has great plans for you; they are plans for good and not disaster, to give you a future and a hope. But you have to turn to God and believe on Christ the coming judge to receive this wonderful future of life everlasting.
“Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech— unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭12‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Does it seem impossible to understand the Gospel message?
What the holy bible is telling us is the truth, but you need the Holy Spirit to teach you, lead you, and guide you, and to remove the veil that covers your heart; you need the Spirit, for Jesus is our only hope in this world today and a confident hope of eternal life in paradise heaven.
He said, ““If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Not only has God made a way where there was no way to deal with the problem of sin; He has sent His Holy Spirit to help every believer all the way; the Spirit of truth who is our guarantee of salvation (EPHESIANS 1:14; 2 CORINTHIANS 1:22).
Whatever your past, whatever sinful life you have lived, whether healthy or sick or addicted; whatever disability, whatever mistakes you have made and wherever you live in this failing world, Jesus is your one and only hope. He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬
Give your life to Jesus, it is He who died on a cross to pay your debt of sin, to give you a future and a hope. He paid is a very high price for your salvation, furthermore, He is the judge who shall decide your eternal future. It makes sense to know Him.
Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Give yourself hope, joy and peace in this failing world, and have the veil removed and see the truth.
“Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.””
‭‭John‬ ‭8:31-32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
I encourage you whatever situation you are in, whatever your past, Jesus came that you have life, and have it abundantly.
My beloved, believe and say thank You and receive the gift of life today, and with it the confident hope of eternal life in paradise heaven where even death will be no more. (REVELATIONS 21:3-4
“Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:37-38‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Don’t allow your gift of life pass by and be lost. Give your life to Jesus; make Him Lord of your life today with a simple prayer of commitment; tomorrow may be too late.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
