YouTube – Supernatural Peace John 14:27 – 5 mins Video
By - Peace Be-With-You (5 min 25 sec)
“’These things I have spoken to you while abiding with
you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring
to your remembrance all that I said to you.
“’Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as
the world gives do I give to you. Do not
let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. You heard that I said to you, ‘I go away, and
I will come to you.’
“’If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because I go to
the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
Now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may
believe.’” John 14:27
