o you need hope and healing in your life and also
the hope of finding eternal life? Then I strongly
urge you to turn to the scriptures and let the
Word of God (the Bible) be your source of wisdom and
discernment. The Bible is our only source of truth and
hope. It cuts right through all the opinions of man and
all the lies and deceptions that are flooding this world,
including the many misleading and confusing beliefs
that surround us about our loving God. He does truly
exist and He is alive and well, thankfully. Romans 1:20
says: “For since the creation of the world His invisible
attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have
been clearly seen, being understood through what
has been made, so that they are (mankind) without
excuse.” God is not some distant ancient deity full
of rules, but a vibrant and loving Father and Friend
who wants to connect with His children on a personal
and daily basis. If you do not know the real God you
will not know His unconditional love, mercy, grace
and forgiveness. Do not be spiritually darkened. The
message in this booklet is the most important message
and the best news you will ever read or hear because
it is supported by God’s liberating truth of His loving,
healing, spiritual awakening, and life changing Word.

hoping for life after death, then I strongly encourage you
to genuinely receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord
God and Savior, so that He can redeem you (forgiveness
of sin) and assure you of your hope, healing, and eternal
life today. The redemption that is in Jesus Christ is
the only way we will ever find eternal life, lasting
satisfaction and the only way that will ever fill the
emptiness and the void within us.
3
for us He does not wish that anyone perishes into eternal
damnation. 2 Peter 3:9 says: “…not willing that any
should perish but that all should come to repentance.”
5
by confessing your sins and faults to Jesus Christ and
turning (repenting) from them, because sin separates
us from Him and hinders your spirit. Sin also obscures
your sense of God and blinds you from the truth and so
you will not see the truth and the things of God without
being forgiven and receiving spiritual enlightenment
through spiritual transformation. For example, you will
not see the Bible as the sole and supreme authority and
sufficiency of faith and that the Bible is our lifeline
and blueprint that was created to guide us through life,
lead us to God and to reveal His character. Also by
reading scripture in its spiritual context when you are
spiritually enlightened it will overcome all that may
seem unbelievable, confusing and contradicting and you
will see that the Bible is truly the Word of God. God is
of the Spirit and so is His kingdom. John 18:36 says:
Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world.”
Therefore, only by being made spiritual by the Holy
Spirit through faith in Jesus Christ is when we will be
able to observe the spiritual realms and see and have the
mind of Christ. Only then is when we will have hope
and be able to perceive the things of God and enter His
kingdom and His blessings. 1 Corinthians 2:14 says:
“But the natural man does not receive the things of the
Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can
he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
John 3:3 says: Jesus answered and said to him, “Most
assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again
(spiritual rebirth), he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
There is no true knowledge of God or revelation of Him
without genuinely placing our faith in Jesus Christ as
6
our Lord and Savior and being spiritually born again,
because it is the Holy Spirit given to us through Jesus
Christ who gives us revelation and guides us to truth.
So willingly admit to Jesus and Him alone that you are
a sinner that needs salvation (pray the salvation prayer
that is stated in this booklet or something like it and
confess your sins) and ask Him for forgiveness and begin
to feel His love awaken and change you spiritually, into
the likeness of God (cleansed of all unrighteousness). 1
John 1:9 says: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from
all unrighteousness.”
8
We cannot save ourselves because we need to be
purified of our old sin nature. Hence the name Savior,
which Jesus was given; we need a Savior in order to
be saved. Salvation involves being sanctified and Jesus
alone can sanctify us. Hebrews 10:10 says: “By that
will we have been sanctified (made holy) through the
offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”
Therefore, He alone holds the key to eternal life.
John 6:67-68 says: Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do
you also want to go away?” But Simon Peter answered
Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words
of eternal life.” Sanctification (spiritual transformation)
does not happen overnight but it is a work in progress,
once you have made Christ Jesus your personal Lord
and Savior. Philippians 1:6 says: “…He who has
begun a good work in you will complete it until the day
of Jesus Christ.” Without letting God do a work in you
to become holy you will never become holy and receive
heaven, and you will never see God and the truth and
deception will continue to hover over you. Do not
promise God that you will change and become holy or
right standing with Him because it is not our promises
to Him that change us, but it is God’s promises to us in
His Word (the Bible) that changes us. Because we are
sinners by nature, as a result of the fall, it is impossible
to be holy without the work of Jesus Christ in our lives.
We do not have the power on our own to change and do
right no matter how hard we try. Holiness means to agree
9
with God and it is only by God’s grace through Jesus
Christ and His Word (the Bible) that produces a true
and obedient heart for God. No one is holy unless we
are made holy by God! We have all sinned and fall short
of His glory.
11
deceptive and it also causes resentment toward Him (as
if it was He who created religion and all its regulations),
and turns people away from Him, rather than to Him
and to the truth, so that they may be saved. Many end up
frustrated and exhausted from the stress and anxiety of
trying to please God through these man-made religious
works that are not necessary. The truth is by doing
these works it will not please God and bring His grace
upon us. Once again, it is God’s Will we need to be
focusing on and the work that He truly requires of us. If
you understand what God’s grace truly means and you
receive it, rather than allowing religion take over your
life, your faith will bring you joy. We receive God’s
grace (His favor, His blessings) by resting in the work
that Jesus Christ completed on the cross.
Only the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed for us, has
that spiritual transforming substance to change someone.
Once again, according to the Bible, salvation is to be an
internal spiritual work, an inward spiritual renewing of
the heart through having faith in Christ Jesus. Religion
is an outward performance, an external service or work
and not an inward spiritual change, causing us to continue
12
to practice sin (serving our will) and being disobedient
to God’s good and perfect Will. Religion can be valuable
but only in the sense that it points to the fact that there
is a God and that we are somehow and in someway
accountable to Him.
13
own form of godliness. Religion gets people so wrapped
up in man-made rules that they lose sight of God.
Religious people’s focus is on their performance,
rather than on God and they will never get to know
Him that way, and knowing Him intimately (personal
relationship) is the only way that we will ever become
like Him and close to Him, be saved and redeemed.
Not only does religion hold a person in bondage but
its rules and regulations are impossible to follow and
keep up with, and as I already mentioned, it produces
stress and anxiety. Mankind’s religion (legalism) tells
us that we are not good enough, but God tells us that
His love is unconditional and He will meet us wherever
we are in life to help us heal and grow to spiritual
holiness. Christianity is to be a cleansing in a person of
all unrighteousness and any bondage we are being held
to by God’s grace through the blood of Christ Jesus, in
order to be made in the likeness of God. It is a change in
one’s heart, which can only be produced by God’s Holy
Spirit (born again-spiritual rebirth) through the work
that was already completed by Jesus Christ on the cross,
and not by all the added works of religion. Only then we
will have a desire and a heart for God and for His Will,
which is for our benefit, and not serve our selfish
sinful agenda, which leads us to much unfortunate
consequence, both physically and eternally.
14
Him, will only be established in us through God’s Holy
Spirit once we have genuinely placed our faith in Jesus
Christ, and have received Him as our personal Lord
and Savior. It is by faith alone; it is not by believing
in Him as being a general God and doing religious and
legalistic things and following traditions because again,
that has no spiritual transforming substance to change a
person on the inside and stop them from practicing sin
and having a heart for God. It also does not have any
spiritual substance for salvation and for good works,
which He has called us to do in order to impact the
world and His kingdom for His glory. For it is not
the works that we do that produce salvation, but it is
salvation that changes us into the holy character of God
that produces the good works, which God has already
prepared for us to do once we are saved, are being
sanctified and willing to do His Will. Ephesians 2:10
says: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand
that we should walk in them.”
15
Jesus Christ, resulting in His Word and promise of a
future and a hope that will bring peace, joy, healing and
everlasting life! Jeremiah 29:11 says: “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.” Worldly systems, principles, desires and
agendas cannot give us and offer us what God can. They
are all deceptions and will lead us and our souls astray.
We need to exercise our faith in Jesus Christ and give
more attention to our souls and invest our money, time
and efforts in what has eternal value, because it is faith
in Jesus that can only save us. Mark 8:36 says: “For
what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world,
and loses his own soul?” We need to focus much more
on living for the eternal life and not put all our eggs in
the here and now. Do not worry about your physical
needs not being met because God will provide for those
needs when you turn to him and trust him to do so.
Philippians 4:19 says: “And my God shall supply all
your need according to His riches in glory by Christ
Jesus.”

SALVATION PRAYER
D
ear Heavenly Father please forgive me for I
have sinned (confess your sins and if you do
not remember all of them, ask Him to also
forgive your unknown sins). I am a sinner that needs
salvation. I turn from my sins and my selfish ways to
live my new life in Christ. Thank You for sending your
Son to die on the cross for my sins. I also believe that
He rose again and now He lives. I choose to have your
Son, Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior to live His
life in me and through me. I surrender all that I am,
all that I have, and all I shall be to you, and help me
to seek out Your Will. Anoint me and sanctify me with
your Holy Spirit and change my heart, molding me
into the holy person that You always wanted me to be.
Thank you for saving me, redeeming me, healing me
and giving me hope. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!ˇ
18
Jesus loves you and if you have prayed this prayer in
faith and are truly willing to surrender your life to Him,
then God has heard your confession and it has now
opened the door for the Holy Spirit to come into your
life and spiritually awaken you. By receiving Christ
Jesus and His gift of salvation, His Holy Spirit will
begin to change your heart and mind into the likeness of
God, and you have been given the greatest blessing of
all—the gift of eternal life. Thankfully through Jesus we
now have a way out from sin and not lost in it and blind
to it. For eternal separation from God is unimaginably
hopeless. Romans 6:23 says: “For the wages of sin is
death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus
our Lord.”
19
and the wounds of the past into praise and thanksgiving.
He can turn many years of mistakes and wasted time
of following our own will (pursuing selfish and futile
dreams) and redeem that time. He will provide for you
and make a way out in any circumstance you may be
facing, even when circumstances may seem impossible
to you to get out of. Mark 10:27 says: But Jesus looked
at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not
with God; for with God all things are possible.”

AN Important Decision
and Investment
I
f this booklet has spoken to your heart, I can tell you
without a doubt that Jesus Christ is the best and most
important decision and investment you will ever
make. If you have not yet prayed the salvation prayer
why not turn back to the prayer and accept Jesus as your
Lord and Savior today so that you can be assured of your
redemption and salvation? And watch Him show off and
bless you in every aspect of your life and give you hope.
God only reacts to faith; therefore, faith in Christ Jesus
alone is the key that unlocks the door to the power and
to the grace of God in your life. The order of God’s way
is to believe and trust first and then you will see the truth
and the things of God, and not mankind’s way, which
is to see first and then believe. 2 Corinthians 5:7 says:
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” Faith is not blind,
but rather it is the natural eye, and not the spiritual eye,
that is blind and very deceiving. Things in the world are
not what they seem. There is a great lie and deception
that has been influencing the world! 2 Corinthians 4:4
says: “whose minds the god of this age (Satan) has
blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel
of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should
shine on them.” John 8:44 says: “… He (Satan) was
a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in
the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he
speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he
21
is a liar and the father of it.” 2 Timothy 4:4 says: “and
they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be
turned aside to fables.”
What are you basing your hope and salvation on? Who
or what are you putting your trust in? We must put
our hope in the right thing. God is our only hope. The
world’s hope has no substance. Do not put your trust in
false hope and false security and do not put your eternity
in the hands of your guesswork. Proverbs 16:25 says:
“There is a way that seems right to a man, But its
end is the way of death.” Turn to Jesus Christ and the
Word of God alone for all your hope and trust and for
the TRUE ANSWERS TO ALL of your important and
precious questions that arise and confront you as you go
through life. Life’s biggest question of finding purpose
and meaning in this life is found in Jesus Christ. Look
no further than to our Creator and He will give you your
true purpose in life, show you the meaning of it and why
things happen. Jesus had a purpose for us before we
were even born. Therefore, since He created us, through
Him and Him alone true purpose and meaning of life
is found. May you walk in faith and in the light of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ so you are not deceived by
what may seem as the truth. Be assured of your salvation
and empowered to live spiritually enlightened, joyful,
hopeful, strong and free, as a result of the Real Truth!
