Ex-White House Aide: Trump’s Declassified Documents Had to Do With ‘Russiagate’

From theepochtimes.com

A former top Department of Defense official, Kash Patel, said the FBI may have taken documents relating to the Russia–Trump collusion investigation.

Amid a tussle between Trump and the National Archives, Patel said in a recent interview that documents that were stored at Mar-a-Lago marked as classified were declassified when he left office. Federal officials will have a difficult time proving that those documents were not declassified, he said.

“The bottom line was he said this information has to get out to the American public,” Patel told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published on Sunday morning. Patel said he did not know what was in the boxes that FBI agents took from Trump’s home.

“It had to do with Russiagate. It had to do with the Hillary email scandal. It had to do with a whole lot of other stuff. And [Trump] said, ‘This is all declassified,’” Patel remarked, challenging a central claim made by the Justice Department that urgent action had to be taken because sensitive material was at risk.

So far, neither the Department of Justice nor the FBI has offered a public explanation about why the FBI agents targeted a former president’s home or what they were looking for. The Epoch Times has contacted the DOJ and FBI for comment.

A warrant and property receipt that were unsealed more than a week ago by U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart showed that agents took 11 boxes of allegedly classified documents, although it’s not clear what those documents entailed. The warrant showed Trump was being probed for possible Espionage Act violations and obstruction of justice.

Republicans, Trump, and some media outlets have called for the DOJ’s affidavit—a legal document that would explain why the agency sought an FBI search warrant—to be released. During a hearing last week, Reinhart ordered the DOJ to submit the affidavit with proposed redactions, which he would then review before he would consider releasing the document to the public.

More Details

Trump posted on Truth Social on Aug. 18 that he declassified a range of documents relating to the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation. At the same time, Trump and Patel have said that the former president had a standing declassification order.

“The president is the ultimate classification authority, so if he says it or writes it, it’s declassified,” Patel, who hosts “Kash’s Corner” for EpochTV, told the WSJ.

A day before Trump left office, on Jan. 19, 2021, he issued a memo declassifying Crossfire Hurricane materials, which have still not been made public. The former president highlighted an archived version of the memo on Truth Social last week.

“I determined that the materials in [a Crossfire Hurricane] binder should be declassified to the maximum extent possible. In response, and as part of the iterative process of the declassification review, under a cover letter dated January 17, 2021, the Federal Bureau of Investigation noted its continuing objection to any further declassification of the materials in the binder,” Trump wrote in January 2021.

The former president also said, “I hereby declassify the remaining materials in the binder. This is my final determination under the declassification review and I have directed the Attorney General to implement the redactions proposed in the FBI’s January 17 submission and return to the White House an appropriately redacted copy.”

While the Crossfire Hurricane investigation was launched in July 2016 to investigate claims of Russian interference in the election, special counsel Robert Mueller years later concluded that the investigation found no evidence showing Trump or his campaign coordinated with Moscow to sway the election.

The Crossfire Hurricane probe was based, in part, on a series of notes and memos concocted by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele—known collectively as the “Steele dossier”—while he was performing opposition research for a third party on behalf of the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign and Democrats. A number of allegations in his dossier have since been discredited by the FBI and other groups.

It comes as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said the FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort was a “fishing expedition” for the House Jan. 6 committee.

In remarks on his podcast on Aug. 17, Cruz said that the bureau was looking for documents related to the Capitol breach on Jan. 6, 2021. He did not provide any specific evidence for the statement.

“What is really distressing now looking at the warrant and what they were searching for, this was a fishing expedition,” Cruz said on his podcast “Verdict with Ted Cruz.”

“I think it had little to nothing to do with classified documents, what this was about was January 6. What this was about was the FBI and [the Department of Justice] wanting to send in a team to say let’s grab every piece of paper we can find and maybe we’ll get something incriminating,” Cruz added. “It’s not new for law enforcement to try to find a hook,” the senator said.

SERIOUSLY??

RUSSIAGATE AND KILLARY?? And who knows……maybe there are incriminating documents about Killary that the LEFT is desperately trying to cover up – perhaps about Clinton and Putin?

They are SO desperate.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT – This is from MEET THE PRESS: “Americans Are Angry And Worried About U.S. Future”, New NBC News Poll Shows

From Breitbart.com

NBC anchor Chuck Todd said Sunday on “Meet the Press” that a new NBC News poll finds “Americans are angry” with a graphic showing 74% of those polled say the country is on the wrong track.

Todd said, “We are less than three months before the Midterms and our brand new NBC News poll paints a pretty bleak picture. Americans are angry. They are disappointed, and they are worried about the future of this country.”

He continued, “Just 21% of adults say we are headed in the right direction. Once again three out of four Out of 4 Americans say we are on the wrong track. In fact, this number never before in this poll has this wrong track number been over 70% for this long. It’s been nearly a year now. 58% say America’s best years are behind us. That’s an all-time high in our polls.”

Todd added, “So what is behind this rise in pessimism about our country’s future? Well, it starts with this., Americans don’t like either party and they don’t like anyone in power.

We know that true scripture is direct from God & must be fulfilled:

2 Timothy 3:16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

16  All Scripture is [ a ] inspired(Spirit-breathed-theopneustos} by God and profitable for
teaching, for reproof, for correction, for [ b ] training in righteousness;
Isaiah 55:11 (NASB)
11  So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;
It will not return to Me empty,
Without accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

All original scripture is True

Psalm 119:160 (NASB)
160  The sum of Your word is truth,
And every one of Your righteous ordinances is everlasting.

Revelation 22:18-19 (NASB)

18  I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book (Revelation): if
anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book;
19  and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take
away his part from the tree of life and [ a ] from the holy city, which are written in this book

God cannot lie
Titus 1:2 (NASB)
2  in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised [ a ] long ages ago,

God created everything

Colossians 1:16 (NASB)
16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through
him and for him.

God Set Eternity in the Heart of Man

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NASB)
11  He has made everything [ a ] appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart,
[ b ] yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.

Jesus, only begotten Son of God, is the only way to Salvation & Eternal Life with

6  Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the

His [ a ] Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. 19  Therefore repent and return, so that your
sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence
of the Lord; 20  and that He may send Jesus, the [ b ] Christ appointed for you, 21  whom heaven
must receive until the [ c ] period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the
mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time. 22  Moses said, ‘THE LORD GOD WILL RAISE UP
FOR YOU A PROPHET [ d ] LIKE ME FROM YOUR BRETHREN; TO HIM YOU SHALL GIVE HEED to everything
He says to you. 23  And it will be that every soul that does not heed that prophet shall be
utterly destroyed from among the people.’
Acts 10:42-43 (NASB)

42  And He ordered us to [ a ] preach to the people, and solemnly to testify that this is the One
who has been appointed by God as Judge of the living and the dead. 43  Of Him all the
prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives
forgiveness of sins.”
Romans 10:9-10 (NASB)
9 [ a ] that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God

[ b ] resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, [ c ] resulting in salvation.
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NASB)
8  For by grace you have been saved through faith; and [ a ] that not of yourselves, it is the

He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged
already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten

5:10, Rom12:2, – and many others.

Christ will call all believers to Himself/Heaven [often called the Rapture]

1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 (NASB)
13  But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so
that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 14  For if we believe that Jesus
died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep [ a ] in
Jesus. 15  For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive [ b ] and
remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16  For
the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a [ c ] shout, with the voice of the archangel
and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are live
and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the
air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.

Prayer

Colossians 1:9-12 (NASB)
9  For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you
and to ask that you may be filled with the [ a ] knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom
and understanding, 10  so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, [ b ] to please Him
in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and [ c ] increasing in the [ d ] knowledge of
God; 11  strengthened with all power, according to [ e ] His glorious might, [ f ] for the attaining of
all steadfastness and [ g ] patience; joyously 12  giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified
us [ h ] to share in the inheritance of the [ i ] saints in Light.
Hebrews 13:3 (NASB)

3  Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated,
since you yourselves also are in the body.

Armor of God
Ephesians 6:13-18 (NASB)
13  Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil
day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14  Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED
YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, 15  and
having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; 16 [ a ] in addition to all,
taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming
arrows of the evil one. 17  And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God.
18 [ b ] With all prayer and petition [ c ] pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, [ d ] be on
the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,
Hebrews 4:12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
12  For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and
piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to
judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Psalm 119:11 (NASB)
11  Your word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against You.

VERSES TO LIVE BY IN THESE DARK TIMES

A wonderful brother in Christ sent God’s Word to me along with the admonishment to read, memorize, meditate upon and TRUST the Word of the Lord. I use the word admonishment because this truly is a warning from the Lord to immerse ourselves in His Holy Word.

VERSES TO LIVE BY

Ephesians 6: 10-17 10  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in
the power of His might. 11  Put on the whole armor of God, that ye
may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12  For we wrestle
not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high places. 13  Wherefore take unto you the
whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand. 14  Stand therefore, having your loins
girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness; 15  And your feet shod with the preparation of the
gospel of peace;
16  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to
quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17  And take the helmet of
salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God / the
Word of Truth !:

Yes, it truly is our sharp weapon per Eph 6: 17 “…take(also)…the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of
Truth”!

We should be ADEPT with it, RIGHTLY DIVIDING that word of truth per II Tim 2:15, and be READY TO GIVE
ANSWER to all who inquire of us I Peter 3:15
We should be FAMILIAR WITH IT (READ DAILY) per Acts 17:11, (KNOW IT (MEDITATE) Joshua 1:8 and STORE
IT WITHIN (MEMORIZE IT) Psalm 119:11, TRUST IT – II Tim 3:16, BELIEVE His Word will come to pass – Isaiah
55:11
2 Timothy 2:15 15  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the
word of truth.
1 Peter 3:15 15  But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and
be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh
you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and
fear:
Acts 17:11   These were more noble …, in that they received the
word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures
daily, whether those things were so.

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy
mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou

mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein:
for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou
shalt have good success.
Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might
not sin against thee.
2 Timothy 3:16   All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and
is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness
Isaiah 55:11   So shall My word be that goeth forth out of my
mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish
that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I
sent it.

KNOW YOUR STAND IN CHRIST

Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the
Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath
raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10  For with the
heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.

John 1:12   But as many as received Him, to them gave He
power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe
on His name:
1 John 1:9   If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.

THE GREAT COMMANDMENTS
Matthew 22: 37-40 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with
all thy mind.
38  This is the first and great commandment.
39  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor
as thyself.
40  On these two commandments hang all the law and the
prophets

DON’T BE ANXIOUS,
BUT FAITHFULLY TRUSTING

Phil 4:6 Be careful (anxious or worried) for nothing; but in
every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving
let your requests be made known unto God.

I Thessalonians 5:18 In everything give thanks: for this is
the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

BE IN HIS GOOD WILL – FORGIVEN & FORGIVING

Matthew 6:9-15
  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in
heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will
be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily
bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For
thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
14  For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father
will also forgive you: 15  But if ye forgive not men their
trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

FOCUS ON HIS HOLINESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS, NOT THE WORLDLY

Phil 4:8   Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Phil 4:3   Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory
(conceit); but in lowliness of mind let each esteem each
other better than themselves.

BEAR HIS FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT, NOT THE OLD WORKS OF THE FLESH

Gal 5: 22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23  Meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law. 24  And they that are
Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Gal 5: 19-22 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are
these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness
(shameful doings), 20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance
(quarrelling), emulations (malicious zeal), wrath, strife,
seditions (divisions), heresies, 21  envyings (jealousies),
murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I
tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they
which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

KNOW HE JUDGES ALL MY THOUGHTS
AS WELL AS WORDS & DEEDS

Matthew 5:28   But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a
woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her
already in his heart.
1 Timothy 5:1-2  Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a
father; and the younger men as brethren; 2  Treat the elder
women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

John 14: 15-16,21-23
If ye love me, keep My commandments. 16  And I will pray the Father, and He shall
give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever;
21  He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he
that loveth Me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest
myself to him…. 23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep
My words: and my Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make our
abode with Him.

DEAL WITH ADVERSITY & PERSECUTIONS

Luke 6: 28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you.
Matthew 5:11-12   Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you,
and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you
falsely, for my sake. 12  Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for
great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the
prophets which were before you.
Romans 12:18-19   If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live
peaceably with all men. 19  Dearly beloved, avenge not
yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written,
Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

PRAY FOR THOSE ABUSED FOR THEIR FAITH,

-FOR THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST

Hebrews 13:3
Remember them that are in bonds, as (if you were also) bound
with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being
yourselves also in the body.

PRAY FOR THOSE IN AUTHORITY

I Timothy 2: 1-4 I exhort therefore, that, first of all,
supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be
made for all men;
2  For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a
quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3  For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our
Saviour;
4  Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the
knowledge of the truth.
Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher
powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be
are ordained of God.

CALL EACH ONE TO REPENTANCE, SALVATION & OBEDIENCE

James 5:19-20
  Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert
him;
20  Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the
error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a
multitude of sins.
2 Peter 3:9
  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men
count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing
that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

PLAN, BUT IN HIS WILL AND GRAND ASSIGNMENT
James 4: 14-15   Whereas ye know not what shall be on the
morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appears
for a little time, and then vanishes away. 15  For that ye ought to
say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that…
Colossians 3:23-24   And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to
the Lord, and not unto men; 24  Knowing that of the Lord ye
shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the
Lord Christ.

Psalm 122:6-9   Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall
prosper that love thee. 7  Peace be within thy walls, and
prosperity within thy palaces. 8  For my brethren and
companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9  Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy
good.

END WELL, STANDING ON HIS PROMISES

Whether He calls you home at final breath, or calls you up together!

Isaiah 46:4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to grey
hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will
carry, and will deliver you.
1 John 2:28-29 And now, little children, abide in him; that,
when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be
ashamed before him at his coming. 29  If ye know that he is
righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is
born of him.
Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good
and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I
will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy
of thy Lord.

We don’t know just how bad the persecution with become. But we do know this: if we are jailed for our faith, God wants us to share His Word with others who are not saved. We MUST be equipped to do this!! And we MUST hide His Word in our hearts so that we will not sin against him.

I have been feeling so down for the last couple of months. I have also been feeling sorry for myself because my family thinks that I have lost my mind because of my faith and love for Jesus.

The verses of Scripture which were sent by a precious brother helped me to see that this self-pity is used by the devil and is NOT from God! I needed to be reminded to forgive and pray for my family!

HOW CAN I BE SAVED?

The Simple Plan of Salvation

I am asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good you are, nor if you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die?

God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Ye must be born again.”

Born again

In the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You can be saved today. How?

First, my friend, you must realize you are a sinner. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

For all have sinned

Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. “For the wages [payment] of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell.

“ . . . it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

Judgment

But God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. “ . . . He hath made Him, Jesus, Who knew no sin to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).

He who had no sin

Jesus had to shed His blood and die. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood” (Lev. 17:11). “ . . . without shedding of blood is no remission [pardon]” (Hebrews 9:22).

Lamb

“ . . . God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

Christ died for us

Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie.

My friend, “God commandeth all men everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30). This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross.

In Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: “ . . . ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved ’ ”

Believe on the Lord

Simply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected. His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Savior.

“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12).

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

Whosoever

Whosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can, but shall be saved.

Surely, you realize you are a sinner. Right now, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer.

In Luke 18:13, the sinner prayed:
“God be merciful to me a sinner.” Just pray: “Oh God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross. I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me. I now receive Him as my Savior. I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace. Amen.”

Just take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it!

God’s simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith.

You say, “Surely, it cannot be that simple.” Yes, that simple! It is scriptural. It is God’s plan. My friend, believe on Jesus and receive Him as Savior today.

If His plan is not perfectly clear, read this tract over and over, without laying it down, until you understand it. Your soul is worth more than all the world.

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36).

Be sure you are saved. If you lose your soul, you miss Heaven and lose all. Please! Let God save you this very moment.
God’s power will save you, keep you saved, and enable you to live a victorious Christian life. “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Do not trust your feelings. They change. Stand on God’s promises. They never change. After you are saved, there are four things to practice daily for spiritual growth:

Pray — you talk to God.
Read your Bible — God talks to you.Witness — you talk for God.
Join a Bible Study — You will grow in your faith.
Develop relationships with other believers – Fellowship is so important!!

MARANATHA!!
