How I Started Writing In A Revelatory Dimension!

#64 Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ :

I was born as a preacher’s kid in a evangelical Church in India. My Father is a pioneer who trusted God and came to a mission station to establish a evangelical church and reach out to all the souls that God wanted to be saved and build them up in the way of the Lord.

Since my childhood I have learned what it means to be in want and still be content through it all, and also what it means to live in the abundance of heaven when God would open his hand of blessings abundantly season after season to satisfy me and yet because of lack of thankfulness live in want.

One thing I have always desired is to live a life pleasing to God, so naturally I grew up learning the laws of God and was taught by my Sunday school teachers to keep it all and therefore live pleasing to God. So I would go to Bible camps, will repent and become joyful and peaceful to get rid of my old sins, then would come back to normal life full of zeal for the Lord and keep the law of the Lord in order to be pleasing to Him.

But lo and behold I would live with this new found zeal for some days and even for a month or more, but would return to the old lifestyle which would again pull me down to where I was and even lower. Bible camp after Bible camp, revival meetings after revival meetings would pass and this became a habit that recurred again and again that I finally as a young boy with all the fleshly desires of lust increasing in me, had come to decide that it is useless to try to live a Christian life pleasing to God.

Little did I know that it is not just hard to live by the law and please God, but rather it is impossible to live a Christian life without depending on the help of the Holy Spirit who has been sent as a helper to usher to us His infinite grace through which only we can expect help from God to live a life fully pleasing to Him.

One of the reason I was very skeptical about the gift of the Holy Spirit since my childhood is because of the lack of knowledge and abuse of this gift in Christian Pentecostal and Charismatic circles which made evangelical denominations like ours to come to the conclusion that anything supernatural that we cannot understand with our finite mind should be rejected as it does have the potential to deceive us through demonic counterfeits.

So the deeper way to live spiritual life for me from my childhood is to repent to God and get promises regarding salvation from the Bible, and after that straightaway live a life fully pleasing to God in surrender without entertaining conscious sins.

I became such a hypocrite as I moved in to my teen years that I would consider lustful things I like to be something that God would overlook as I was keeping all others laws of His everyday. The holier-than-thou attitude became the lifeline to soulish death and self-justification. As I grew up, sinning became a habit and sin-repent-sin became a cycle as usual.

All the joy, peace and righteousness which are the eco-system of heaven to experience on earth became more polluted through sin and less appealing to me day by day and year after year as I became more miserable in life. One side I loved the world and the other side I loved God, a divided heart began to increase in me.

During this time, I became more and more involved in fleshy lust like pornography and masturbation which began to control me and sucked out the heavenly life that God had previously given which I had taken for granted.

During this time I finished my tenth standard and pursued my Diploma in Electrical Engineering for three years. Then by the grace of God He gave me a chance through His favor for me to join in the Bachelor of Engineering degree course in the same Electrical and Electronics engineering course. As I moved on in the same spiritual cycle of keeping the law to please God, God moved me in to a Father-Son realm of chastisement through His love where He wanted to make me a useful vessel for His Glory.

I used to be physically very very strong as I would regularly exercise in the gymnasium for an hour or two each day right from the age of fifteen. So toward the end of the final year of my Engineering, suddenly without any know reason I became so weak in my body that my hands would tremble so much that I would try to anxiously cover it up before others as though nothing unusual was happening, yet I would try to reason myself to believe that I do not have anything bad or serious health issues as I was still exercising regularly.

I lost nearly 15 kilograms in more than a couple of months time which took me from nearly 90 to 75 kilogram body weight. As I was a six footer, people would ask me how I have lost so much weight in a short period of time and I would tell them that exercise and right diet would help achieve weight loss easily. But little did I reveal how weak I had become that my hands were trembling and that I had been psychologically affected within.

Through it all I failed in one of the easiest subject where I scored 35 out of 40 for a pass mark, and immediately I applied for revaluation. After that when I met my tuition master and he felt pity enough to tell me that if I could give him 5000 bucks, he would try to trace my paper to make me clear the paper to get the degree with first class. And I tried bribing through this very good influential math teacher who tried his best to trace my paper, as he was part of the the correction team of our University. But he failed to reach my paper as he was not able to trace it, as I now believe God had kept it out of reach so that I would fully come to place of surrender to his will in my life and would not try illegal way to achieve in life.

So with my weakness I studied the same Numerical Methods paper and in the next six months passed it with a above average marks to get my second class degree in Engineering. Next immediately I pursued a training in software Engineering field which was booming before the 911 tower crash. I nearly was about to be placed in a good firm before which the 911 towers of New York crashed and the whole world came to a stand still in the New Millennium. The whole industry took a downside after that and my health condition too was extremely bad that I had to tell my CEO that I am not able to continue with the work. He was not willing to let me go, but I had to leave them promising them that I will return back once I will regain my health back.

Little did I know what was in store for me back home in Erode which was nearly 400 kilometers from Chennai which is the capital of Tamil Nadu my home state. There was immediately in that same week a revival meeting arranged in our Church. In that meeting by God’s providence I met a apostle of God whom God used mightily, I said to him how empty I feel within and how weak I felt in my body. I also told him how I have a burden to reach out to souls. He told me personally to kneel down and prayed over me saying, ‘Lord if possible, use him more than me.’

Nearly those three wonderful days of revival meeting got over and thousands of people were touched by the good tidings of great joy through the power of God and the Word of God which the Man of God brought to town. But over night as I was weary I slept, and in the morning when I tried getting up I was not able to get up even to go to rest room. I felt so depressed in my life, because just when all the young people of my age were getting in to good high paying work, here I was entering in to a dark phase of my life where the future seemed hopeless.

But as I looked upon the wall, there the Word of God from the calendar suddenly was quickened by God within my heart while I saw it. In it were written, “Trust in the Lord at all times.” (Psalm 62:8). This was the first time I felt God speak in my spirit so clearly. Then as I asked why should such a shameful thing should happen to me, God told me within my spirit clearly, “Whatever shame you go through is not greater than the shame I went through for you on the Cross!” This really got me thinking deeply and comforted my heart greatly as I received God’s grace to face the greatest hardship of my life till that time of my life which I faced that day.

I was taken by an Ambulance to the Hospital, and there doctors diagnosed that I had Hyper Thyroid three times more than the normal limit which caused potassium deficiency in my body and it made the muscles of my body to become hardened to cramp me down to become immobilized temporally. Doctors prescribed regular medicine and rest for me after nearly three or four days of treatment. I thanked God to return back home, but due to high fatigue and weakness, I could only eat a little bit and sleep after that, and again I was taking medicine and doing the same for weeks together hopelessly.

During this time, I would take the Bible to read it for sometime and I would have joy and peace. Then I would sleep thinking about those verses I have read. This happened over a period of time. In other words, the word of God became my spiritual medicine for my soul while I was also taking medicine for the healing of my body.

One of those days, as my parents were praying as usual on a Wednesday afternoon in a nearby room, which they have always done since my childhood, I was half asleep due to weakness. But then to my amazement, suddenly the Presence of God filled the place and I felt a reverential fear within after which I heard behind me a voice that was like a noise of many waters, He then told me saying, “You do my work, I will bless you, your family and all those who come in to contact with you…”

Thus from that day onwards my journey of faith started as I began to fight the fight of faith to fulfill God’s destiny and purpose for my life and the world around me. I also used to watch regularly the programs of dear Pastor Benny Hinn called ‘This is your day,’ it was on this particular day I was challenged by a elderly man of God in a talk show with Benny. He told me that whoever he would pray for would get filled with the Holy Spirit with the external evidence of speaking in tongues. But then one woman was not able to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit even after he prayed, but then she told him that many men of God have prayed for her before just like him, but in spite she was never filled with the Holy Spirit. Sensing the spirit of religious pride working within her, then this man of God it seems have rebuked that woman and told that her pride and tradition has not allowed her to get filled with the Spirit of God. So she went to kneel immediately before God and humbled herself of her pride. Soon after that she was gloriously filled with the Spirit of God and began to speak in tongues. 

As I was desperate for more of God to again walk with Him in power, that evening I went to the terrace alone and started to pray with faith for God to fill me with His Spirit. Then as told by the man of God in that talk show, the first time I felt a single syllable word come to my mind, I began to speak out in faith. Then more and more words of the Spirit in tongues started to flow through me and a joy that is unspeakable and peace that passed my understanding filled me to the brim and began to overflow through me.

Thus I began to understand the ART OF LIVING with God and for God is only through faith and faith alone in what Christ has done for me personally which can only please God immensely. If ever we want to achieve anything in our spiritual lives, it is not by our might or power, but by His Spirit alone who has been given to us personally to help us pray in the will of God so that we will be empowered to fulfill God's will for our lives. And the power to fulfill the purpose of God for our lives is not within us but with God who gives us the Holy Spirit to walk in His will and way. All we need to do is to surrender our lives through His Spirit and let God live His life through us day after day for His Glory!

THUS MY RESEARCH FROM THE WORD OF GOD STARTED THAT DAY, WHICH NOT ONLY HELPED ME TO UNDERSTAND THE WORD OF GOD IN A DEEPER REVELATORY WAY, BUT ALSO BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS THROUGH MY SHARING WITH THEM ABOUT THE LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES OF BEING BLESSED AND FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT THROUGH FAITH.

The Gift Of Silence!

#63 Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ :

"He answered nothing." (Mark 15:3b).

There are many times when God will put us in a place where we are cornered to speak the truth which offends others, at the cost of our own life we have to speak it out as a testimony for the Glory of God. But when the people around hear the truth we speak and want to accuse us back of many others things falsely, the best way to answer them back fittingly is to stay silent. It will make the the world around us marvel how when we are accused falsely, we choose not to speak out and stay silent instead. Because it is impossible for any human to stop defending himself first and foremost even when we are wrong, because it is in our fallen Adamic nature within us to defend ourselves first whether we are right or wrong matters only next.

After the fall of our first parents Adam and Eve, when God came and asked Adam why? He then pointed to Eve. When God asked Eve why? She then pointed to the serpent? Then God has to pronounce his judgement upon the serpent first, woman next and Adam the last of all. Nobody wanted to take responsibility for taking a wrong choice to sin against God. In my life I have seen people who were very close and whom I trusted accuse me saying, 'You Satan!' against my face. This was a happening that God has revealed to me through my blood Brother a day before these things happened. Working the whole night he used to come and sleep until mid day and he would never get up. But on this day, God showed him in a vision what was going to happen a day before. He woke up and clearly told me what he has seen in the vision.

Usually I would not take any vision or dream so seriously until God himself makes me understand the intensity of what is to come. So on that day too, I just took the message a little lightly and spiritualized to dilute a little bit of its meaning to mean that something bad Satan has planned against me. But lo and behold the very next day morning exactly as it has been told me, without showing the intentions of their heart, those very people who were shown in the dream stepped in to my house and then as usual took all the food and everything we gave until the afternoon and suddenly started to accuse me out of nowhere. I was very disturbed and wanted to defend myself. But God told me, 'Do you think that you know more than Me to defend yourself than I can do, because I have already shown to you what is happening to you now?' Immediately I told the Holy Spirit of God to take over my mouth and my actions, to my own surprise I was not able to speak or defend myself and I answered nothing back. Then God intervened in to the situation to solve the problems through my Brother who came and solved the issues just as shown in the dream. I supplied KFC to all those who accused me that day at the end of it all, and Satan's plan was defeated and God's plan got fulfilled. Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! Perhaps, if I tried to defend myself that day, I might have brought shame to the name of the Lord. But then God the Holy Spirit who is the standby advocate and counselor sent by the Father God from heaven two thousand years ago stands with us at the time of our need and rightly leads us to victory procession in Christ Jesus every time we choose to obey Him. Hallelujah! What a privilege to have the Holy Spirit as out standby!

PRAY WITH ME SAINTS: Dear Heavenly Father, I praise you and thank you for who you are to me, my defender and rock of refuge and anti-missile shield against all lies and accusation of the enemy of my soul who throws it all at me in his evil time. Help me to speak the truth even when it costs much, and help me stay silent whenever I am tempted to defend myself. There is a time to speak and time to stay silent, give me the wisdom to know the difference and obey your voice and do your will. When I am accused falsely, you are there to defend my cause and you are the one who takes vengeance against people who hate me for no reason. May your will be done in my life as it is in heaven. Amen in Jesus wonderful name!

Much Blessings....

"There is a time to speak, a time to stay silent. We need to answer a fool according to his foolishness or else he will think great about himself at certain times, and at certain other times we need not answer a fool according to his foolishness or else we ourselves may just become like him. To know the difference between the two is the wisdom that only the voice of God can teach us through our obedience." — Abraham Israel

Today's Bible Verse To Ponder Over

✞◎∂αƴ❝ṧ ฿їßℓε Ṽℯґṧℯ ✞ℴ ℙøηḓℯґ ϴṽ℮я :

"Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her own hands." (Pro 14:1, ERV).

Feminism is not from God, rather it is from the pit of hell to break families in our generation, and it is driven by the spirit of Antichrist as its driving force in the world . Jezebel thrives under the guise of feminism, but the Lord judges every Antichrist spirit that hides behind the veil with a religious connotation, such dubious mask and make up cannot stand for long in the midst of the Holy Ghost rain and outpouring but rather will be judged by the Lord in HIS TIME and at the end of the story. So a godly woman must stay away from this spirit of the world which is causing a great chaos within the Church of God. THE LORD is COMING TO JUDGE HIS PEOPLE first before HE WILL JUDGE THE WORLD FOR ITS SIN AND SELFISHNESS. Run away from feminism O WOMAN OF GOD and DAUGHTER OF SARAH! Never forget that you are a WOMAN OF DESTINY, so live like it in your home, place of work, educational institution, etc...O WISE WOMAN build your home by being transformed by the renewing of your mind, but do not break it by confirming to the world! May God bless you all!

ASK YOURSELF THESE THREE QUESTIONS AND CHECK WHETHER IT IS YES IN ALL THE THREE INSTANCES:

1) AM I SUBMISSIVE TO MY HUSBAND?

2) DO I KNOW MY ROLE IN MY CHRISTIAN HOME? A HOME MAKER NOT BREAKER!

3) DO I REALIZE THAT MY HUSBAND IS THE HEAD OF MY HOUSE UNDER CHRIST, AND THE AUTHORITY AT HOME?

O Woman of God, when your answer to the above questions is a 3 YES from your heart, truly your home will be a blessed home that you are building for God's Glory! Your reward will be very great in heaven and also great on this earth.

Much Love and Blessings....

Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #62:

"Do not continue to be angry even after the sun sets which is the ending of a Jewish day and a time for the beginning of a new day, if you continue to be angry for any reason in a new day you will be led to sin." (Eph 4:26, Abi's Translation).

To be angry is only a emotion that is released to show your displeasure to something that has happened before you. So is it a sin to be angry? No it is not a sin as long as we realize it to renew our mind by the Word of God as soon as possible. If anger is a sin, then God would not have given this emotion to us. Why should we then control anger? For example, take a knife, is it a good thing that God has given us, of course you will agree that we use it every day to make our tasty recipes for our family and friends in our home. But what will happen if we continue to take the knife and use it carelessly for everything and anything, you know the kind of damage it can do especially when it is sharp like a razor. Our words that are blurted out in anger without thinking of the consequence of damage it can cause is also like using a sharp razor knife carelessly, it can injure others and also ourselves. It can damage us and do us harm instead of good (Prov 12:18). So the question to consider ourselves constantly is not why should God give such a dangerous thing to us, but rather how are we are using what God has given us for our stewardship and blessing.

This is the reason Solomon the wisest king who ever lived said, "Be not hasty in your spirit or easily provoked to be angry: for anger rests in the bosom of fools." (Eccl 7:9). In other words, if we discipline ourselves constantly to use anger in a proper way by controlling it to be used unnecessarily, then we are doing a fine job for ourselves and our lives. We will not be fooling ourselves enough to be angry for each and every thing, and think that it is a good thing because it causes damage to us and others constantly when it is not properly used. So ask the Holy Spirit's help to control your spirit by submitting your spirit constantly to Him, so that by His help you will be empowered to know how to use your anger in the right way, place and time.

I have always never understood this above truth, until I hit rock bottom in my life when I started my early twenties. I believe there is anger that carries on in the gene itself, so those thing need to be tuned by us with the power of the Holy Spirit, or else the damage it can cause is enormous and detrimental to our spiritual health. What have I learned from the Holy Spirit back then, it is to come back to a normal state and let the anger go, and make sure that we bless the person with whom we have been angry with a pronouncement of blessing in our mind and then with our lips if we continue to be angry against others. Then anger will not be able to continue to stay within us and make our life negative and spiritually unhealthy. Those toxins will be released out of us, and then we will feel at peace with God and men. To carry anger for more than a day in to the next day will diminish the prospect of the new day, and has the ability to cause the spiritual cancer of unforgiveness. Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Unforgiveness opens a door to Satan and all his demons, because when God lifts up his hand because of unforgiveness in our heart which no other person can know until it become a evil action of hate, prejudice and murder, all the evil activities of Satanic origin and curses that are carried on will be at loose and set loose by them in our lives until we get confused of life itself. Beware! When God takes His hand out over us, there is no security covering us as God cannot support wickedness, nor can he see them unnoticed without putting it to judgment in His time and place promptly. So control anger and live a peaceful and abundant life of spiritual vitality and blessing to others.

Much Blessings.....

Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #61: "Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward." (Psa 127:3).

One dear Elder in my native home Church whom I know very well, has been faithful in doing the work of God for his whole life and yet had no grand children at all for many many years through his only daughter. It was a hopeless situation. God showed to me one night in a vision that they will receive a miracle in their only daughter's life. I told the wife of that elder that they will get a miracle done by God. It was very hard to believe for them when nothing substantial could be seen.

Then they went for in-vitro fertilization, and there the doctor tried a couple of times and told to them that it was hopeless at that point of time. When this wife of the elder told me about the grim situation and asked me for prayer, I told with great faith that God will surely do what He has promised already.

When I prayed for their daughter the first time, a word of wisdom came through me to say that intially it will be hard but that she should hold on in faith and not give up because God has planned to bless them.

Exactly later, the doctor told that she had no hope but that she will do the same medical procedure for one last time and confessed that only God can do something. Then when God's planned time for the miracle came, she got conceived. After a couple of months when it was told to me by the Elder's wife, I said immediately that the baby should be named, "Miracle." Then she agreed and I did not know at that time it was a girl that God had planned for her daughter.

Then miracle came to pass and I praise God for this anointed lovely little girl "Miracle" which I saw. GLORY TO GOD! Then I believe that many must have forgotten and must have doubted that it was by a pure miracle of God that she got conceived with this baby and this was made possible. To prove that God is the one who did it, I heard again recently which is hardly a couple of years after the little Miracle girl, she conceived naturally again and was given a son by God, but without in-vitro fertilisation method. God did this intentionally to prove to all that the first time the miracle happened, it was not just a medical one but a divinely ordained one through medical means. GLORY TO GOD! God has proved that whether it was through medical means or natural means, unless He decides, a barren woman can have no baby miracle. I believe that the gift of babies that God has given to this family is because of that elder's faithfulness to God.

In the same vision God had shown another faithful Elder who has been faithfully serving Him but had tremendous family problems through a young daughter of theirs at that time, God showed that they will receive His favour. Exactly as I have seen, that whole problem that stood like a mountain in their family was suddenly solved and his daughter is now happily married and living in a blessed way. This goes inline with the word of God that says, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all." (Psa 34:19).

Also this shows that God remembers all those who are faithful to Him in His service and will one day bless them inspite of all the problems they face in their present time, they have a bright future because it is guaranteed by God. Exactly and concisely Jesus described this scenario when He said, "If any one serve me, him will my Father honor." (John 12:26). Truly faithful people are blessed people! I pray that God might help us to serve Him more and more faithfully in the coming days like never before. And I also pray that all who read this must one day receive the days of the favor of God in an unusual and tangible way for faithfulness in serving God!

Much Blessings....

When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. 3 For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior..." (Isa 43:2-3).

Many elephants get hit by train when they do the crossing without knowing the danger that a train may come to hit it on the railway track before it will be able to move out its way. Many times we cross dangerous paths of life without knowing its danger, but thank God who knows it all. He preserves us supernaturally time after time, according to His promise. Even recently a couple of weeks before, there was a heavy downpour due to storm when I went to pick my wife from her work place. Actually because of it I got stranded in that place as I was waiting in a tea shop outside their company, I saw hopelessly that all the roads around had got flooded and traffic got to a stand still point. I prayed and took a different route to avoid the dangerous flood waters which get collected in the road and many times makes the potholes seem unnoticeable. As my wife is pregnant for the glory of God, I did even think twice of going the usual way which was flooded.

Then we went through a traffic chaos and did a detour in the rain and I took a turn in a corner and suddenly looked forward to find that the signal was green and a speeding car driver was exactly coming with great speed towards us who were returning back to our home in a two wheeler. My wife screamed seeing the car, but thank God at the last second the driver of the car who was only seeing the green light also saw us to brake the car in a micro second at the last moment, and the car came to a screeching halt. To our surprise, we still found ourselves to be alive and well. Without a scratch upon us, we came to our home praising God for his rescue that day in spite of the continuing rain which was not able to dampen our spirit's anymore.

Afterwards when I reached home safely, the following scripture came to my mind when I thought about the supernatural rescue of the Lord which could have suddenly turned in to fatality, "Our God is the God of salvation; And to GOD the Lord belong escapes from death." (Psa 68:20). I know for sure that if not for the angels of God that God uses supernaturally to rescue his saints, we both would have been no more alive. Actually I should have been careful enough to see the signal and must have stopped the bike, but in spite of my foolish mistake at that time, God's sovereign hand of protection was over our life. I truly believe that we the saints are truly immortal because our Savior saves us time and time again until God's purpose for our life get fulfilled fully. Praise the Lord!

Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #59: "But exhort one another daily." (Heb.3:13).

When God gave me a vision to form a online community and ministry through facebook and internet, I was very apprehensive to do it because of the lack of response, visibility and support for it. Little did I realize that God's heart was after this generation that is going to spend much of their time online. Later I began to understand that it was God's perfect plan for my life to reach all the saints all over the world and encourage them daily through exhorting them with the word of God.

As a result of the guidance of God and His burden for this digital generation to be fed with His heavenly encouragement, this "Household of Faith World Outreach" online ministry was born. Intially after my Bible college studies which I did for two years, suddenly God gave me a computer. I have tried to acquire a computer right through the days I studied my Engineering itself, but I never had the opportunity, need or resource. I have learned that God gives all our need in His appointed time and place exactly. While I was about to finish my Bible college, God gave me a lot of revelations from the Word that I was not able to contain it within myself but began to take a pen and started to write it all in a diary.

Then when I asked God what to do after my Bible college, God reminded me to take all the papers that I have written in the Bible college along with all the revelations that He had already given me and told me to type it in digital files. As I did not know typing at that time it was a boredom to me to sit alone in my home and obey what God had told me to do. But the good thing that I did was, I obeyed Him as I had no other way to go. It was tough time for me, with hardly any money to support myself I began to obey what the Lord has told me. But each little step of obedience took me to a higher level day by day. Suddenly one day God in His plans gave me an internet connection, through it I got in touch with a certain friend who read my article which I sent and told me to put it in a blog site so that it can be a blessing to others who read it. Believe me, at that time I had no idea of how it can be a blessing to any person, but have through the past few years of my ministry online I have come to know that God can make every thing I write to be a blessing to many many people around the world. Our Heavenly Father has not failed to provide all my needs even once, as this ministry is a total faith ministry. Today as we are getting nearer and nearer to Jesus' return to rapture the saints and then rule the earth for a thousand years along with all the saints, there is a great need for the saints to encourage one another to stay in faith and also receive the unadultered word of God which is able to strengthen and comfort the souls of all those who read it with a seeking heart. I pray, all the apostolic saints and the family of faith online stay together to encourage one another and be continually blessed to be a blessing to many in the coming days, until our Lord Jesus returns to rapture the Church and even after that. Please pray for me and my family to be strengthened supernaturally, that I may carry on what the Lord has started and be faithful in His call until the end of my life. All the saints online are my friends for life and are in my heart as I pray for them all to be blessed and be a blessing to many!!

Much Blessings....

Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #58: "At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you." (John 14:20).

There was a time in the life of apostles in which though they all walked with Jesus for nearly three and half years on earth hearing His sermons, seeing His radical life of purity, experiencing all the supernatural healing power, miracles and even seeing Jesus excercise unusual authority over the nature through His word, still they had this doubt about who is the Father that Jesus is speaking about always like the air that He breathed. When Jesus said at the end of his earthly life, “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” (John 14:7). Trying to understand what Jesus said honestly, one of Jesus' disciple named Philip dared to ask Him the following question, "8 ...“Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves." (John 14:8-11). Here we see the natural heart of Jesus' disciples which were not born again at that time trying to understand the spiritual things that comes to be revealed intuitively through divine revelation in our spirit-man (1 Cor 2:11-14). It was a insult to ask Jesus the only begotten Son of God to show Him the Father who is in heaven, when He Himself has come to show and reveal the Father God's nature on earth as it is in heaven. “No one has seen God at any time; [except] the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.” (John 5:37). Every human should understand that we do not have a physical capacity to see God face to face and live in this body (Exod 33:20). This is why Jesus who is God Himself just as His Father, has become human to reveal God the Father to us (John 1:1, 14; Heb 1:5, 8).

Because we being a finite creation of God do not have the capacity to comprehend the infinite God, God made man in His spiritual image through which He had planned to reveal Himself personally (Gen 1:27). But because of a wrong choice that our forefather took in the Garden of Eden, all humans lost this spiritual capacity to be connected with God and understand Him. This lost spiritual capacity to understand God was due to sin which is called by God as lawlessness toward God's purity and perfection that entered all of our lives from birth, which also brought death to all men on earth (Rom 5:12; 1 John 3:4). So all humanity were desperately trying like this apostle Philip to see God and understand Him without understanding, but all their efforts were in vain as no man can see God and live. Jesus came for this purpose, he became human as one among us and pacified God through his sinless perfect obedience to Him and thus God was pleased with His life and God began to again quicken all the spirit of those who would believe in Jesus (Rom 5:19). God again became the Father of all human spirits though Jesus (Heb 12:9). The spirit life which was lost in the Garden of Eden was regained by all those who believed Jesus and so He is called as the last Adam who is giver of life to our spirit (1 Cor 15:45). All those who believed Jesus were made righteous and as a result of it they were all positionally in the eyes of God became as righteous as Jesus is (Rom 5:19). This positional righteousness was given to all people who were declared as just men because of their belief in Jesus whose spirits were made perfect not because of their effort but as a gift from God (Heb 12:23). God made a way through Jesus to be just and be the justifier of all humans who come to Him through their belief (Rom 3:26, 21-22).

Jesus Himself explained this secret of spiritual life to all the disciples and apostles, but because they were not still born again, they were not able to comprehend this wonderful message of Jesus. After Jesus died on the Cross for all of our sins once and for all time (Heb 10:10, 12, 14), Jesus came and blew the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and their spirit-man was born again at that time (John 20:21-23). Thomas the apostle was missing at that time when Jesus came to awaken the spirit of his disciples and thus he was not ready to believe that Jesus rose from the dead when they told to him. Thomas the disciple of Jesus told that unless he sees with his eyes and touch the wounds of Jesus with his own hands, he will not believe that Jesus is alive. But Jesus graciously appeared to him again and said that, 'All can be born again and know Him in a blessed intimate way even without seeing Him if they just believe.' (John 20:24-29). The only precondition to receive this spirit awakening experience is to belive and accept Jesus as our Lord and God of our life (John 20:29). Thus we who have believed this have been born again gloriously and those who are not born again can also be easily born again in their spirit-man if they belive Jesus to be the Lord and God of their life (1 John 5:10). No disciples or apostles who received this spiritual awakening of being born again inside the recesses of their heart ever questioned about God (John 3:3-8). Why? Because God has become closer to them than the air that they were breathing and God started to move in to the core of their being consciously after this event (Acts 17:28). Once after being born again in their spirit-man inside them, they understood God in such a way of interpenetration that nobody have to explain to them the enigma passage which Jesus said in John 14:20 that says, "I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you". They knew all of it by revelation knowledge within them. THOSE WHO ARE BORN AGAIN GENUINELY BY THEIR BELIEF IN JESUS WILL ALSO KNOW THE MEANING OF THIS ENIGMA PASSAGE OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE "JEUS IN THE FATHER GOD, WE IN JESUS AND JESUS IN US." It is good that we are born again gloriously by God's grace through His faith (Eph 2:8). But do not get satisfied with this initial born-again experience, go on higher... ALL OF US WHO BELIEVE IN JESUS MUST GO HIGHER IN OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE TO SEE GOD WORK IN OUR LIVES CONTINIOUSLY BY HAVING A PURE HEART (MATT 5:8). Others who have not yet taken Jesus seriously to surrender their lives to Him must do so now. Today is the day of your salvation (2 Cor 6:2). Praise the Lord!

Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #57: "I will shew thee what thou shalt do." (1 Sam.16:3).

God has promised us to show what we should do only as we keep moving in the path that He has already show us. Some people are never able to walk with God because they want all the information before they will step in to the endeavour God wants them to do. God never gives the full destination address before we start the journey He has told us to do in obedience to His voice. Even to Abraham in the Bible, God never gave a destination address to start his journey, God simply said, "Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you." (Gen 12:1). In other words God was saying to Abraham, first move by faith out of your country, family and father's house and then I will show you the land where you should move. Even though Abraham was only able to break the fleshly ties of family and father's house step by step through sovereign intervention, he obeyed God by faith and started to move without knowing the destination address (Heb 11:8; Acts 7:4; Gen 12:4). God wants us to walk by faith and only this kind of obedience to His voice can please God.

Even in my life when God first spoke to me in a vision and said, "Do my work and I will bless you...", I had many questions that I asked God to give me an answer for. First of all I said to God to give me the details of how I should work for Him. Then I thought about the many ways in which a person can work for God. When I chose to give up my own planned out future that I was forcing myself to reach in my professional career of software engineering, then I had my own plan made up in my mind of how to work for God in the ministry. With my puny little brain I began to map my future and work out the best possible way to do ministry for God. But worries began to clog my brain because I never had the resource to do it. As time went on and on, I was frustrated with my own plans and told God sincerely to fullfill His plans for my life.

Then God began to teach me about faith. How I need to walk in the little light I could see in the present time, so that when I walk further in obedience to Him, more light will shine forth on my way. This began to happen in my life. I started to trust God with my life and future and started to move in to the realm of faith where God only gave a little bit of clue to go forward every time I needed a direction. Amazingly every time I would move forward, a great peace of God will fill my heart. Then God miraculously met the needs of my life as I began to move forward in His ministry. For example, God directed me to join in a Bible college but I was promised only a little bit of help from my family. So I told my mom and everyone, as I join in the Bible college God will miraculously provide all my needs. I had faith in God's provision because of knowing His clear direction. It was a two years course, so they told if we perform well in the first semester the college will provide for the whole course. But suddenly when the second semester started, they changed the decision to support me financially, inspite of me performing well to be the first in the class. I do not know the exact reason, but they might have thought that I had enough with me to pay the meagre tution fees. They told me to pay the fees as soon as possible. But here I was asking the Lord, 'You told me that you will provide me with all that I need and I have nothing to pay and am not willing to ask anybody anything regarding this.' But you know what happened, God gave a burden to a Sister who helped us in our home when I was a little child, to support me financially for the Bible college. She called up my mom and conveyed this message to me. I was overjoyed and gave praise to the Lord who provides miraculously. Truly our God is our provider when we obey Him by faith. TRULY THE WAY OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN WHO WAKLS BY FAITH IS LIKE THE SUN SHINING BRIGHTER AND BRIGHTER UNTIL HE STARTS TO SEE THE NOON TIME GLORY OF GOD UPON HIS LIFE IN ZENITH (PROV 4:18).

#56 - Art of Living

Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #56 : "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus." (1 Tim 2:5).

I have heard from many people who think that if God is pure and holy, He cannot become man. If a person is born as a human, he cannot become God because of his inborn sinfulness possesed at birth. But Jesus claimed Himself to be God which no other person on earth could claim legally without being insane or deceitful. Jesus was born 2000 years ago, right. But He said to the Jews who has always boasted about Abraham as their father, saying, "56 "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” 57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” 58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”" (John 8:56-58). In other words, Abraham the patriarch who died nearly two thousand years before Jesus ever came to the earth, was waiting in the resting place below the earth in the prison for righteous souls which was called after him as "Abraham's Bosom" (Eph 4:8-10; Luke 16:22). Abraham was looking forward for Jesus to come to the earth and die for His sins so that he could be taken back to God's abode of heaven along with all the saints of the Old Testament times in their sin-free glorious supernatural bodies, which really happened after the resurrection of Jesus (Matt 27:52-54). But the Jews were seeing the outward appearance of Jesus and were saying, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” The same thing is still happening in the minds of people all around the world.

What was the missing piece which could solve their jigsaw puzzle and theological dilemma? The virgin birth of Jesus. If man has not been created in the image of God, a God-Man is impossible (Gen 1:26-27). As humans are created in the image of God, we know that we have a spirit component which is taken out of God and breathed in to us at the beginning of human creation. Actually this is "the breath of life" that entered in to the lifeless body which was formed by God through "the dust of the ground" (Gen 2:7). When God blew this uncreated "breath of life" in to man, a living being with a eternal spirit and a conscious soul started to live in the body and this became a living being in the first Adam. But Jesus was a eternal uncreated spirit being from heaven who was taken by the Holy Spirit and was placed inside the womb of Mary and was covered by the human flesh (1 Cor 15:47; Luke 1:35). Only the Creator who created humans could have the choice and power to become one among humans, and Jesus chose to come to save humans in the incarnated avatar (John 10:18). This is the reason God said prophetically about Jesus through the Old Testament prophet Isaiah who wrote, "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given..." (Isa 9:6). Here is the greatest secret to virgin birth that many do not understand because of their spiritual blindness that has come due to believing worldly philosophies of soulish reasoning. We see from the above verse that only the Child was born, but inside the child was the "Eternal spirit" of the God who claimed to the Jews as the "I AM" (Exo 3:14; 6:2) resided in it. The uncreated "Eternal spirit" of Jesus was not born but was given from heaven as He is the Son of God (Pro 30:4). Just because we say Jesus as the Son of God doesn't mean that He has been created by God, God has revealed Trinity to human minds through revealing the heavenly truth of "One God Three in Person" through antrophomorphic human language. In other words, the very phrase "the Father and the Son" is not their exact name in heirarchy as God cannot change and have no subordinates to create, but it was given to us in human phraseology so that we could believe the real God who claims it and be saved (1 John 5:9-13). As the eternal infinite God is one in essence of their Character but three in person (Deut 6:4; Isa 48:16), to our finite minds which works based on information gathered from finite space and time, God's eternal truth of mystery is revealed only progressively through relating and having relationship with God.

Jesus is a mystery to the unbeliever because he cannot understand the spiritual truth of God preparing a body for Jesus and indwelling in it to do the perfect will of God on behalf of us and die for our sins (Heb 10:5-7). Not even for a split second Jesus ceased to be God on earth, this is why the word of God says that He the God who created the Jews and rescued them from the slavery of Egypt came to His people but they did not receive Him (John 1:11; Matt 23:37-39). Jesus the Christ when He was on earth, chose not to use His Divine power because of the pact He made with the God the Father in exchange for forgiveness of the sins of all humans, which was actually made before He took the human form of a bondslave of God (John 8:24; 1 Peter 1:20; Rev 13:8). Even though He was God and could have broken the pact without it affecting Himself one bit, He chose to act as God's bond servant for us so that we could be saved from sin and enter heaven to be with God forever (Php 2:6-8). Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness to act independently with His own power apart from the will of God, so that this pact could be broken and we humans could be lost forever as a result of it (Matt 4:3, 6, 9). When Jesus was on earth, He was named "Immanuel" which is translated "God with us." (Matt 1:23), so God doesn't have to prove that He is the Son of God (Pro 30:4). Jesus was the "I Will Be What I Will Be" (Exo 3:14), the ever existing, unchanging and eternal Son of God in the flesh. JESUS IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO WAS EVER BORN ON EARTH TO BE 100% HUMAN AND 100% GOD. The true God-man on earth because of the virgin birth. The devil attacks this truth of Jesus' virgin birth so much through man made philosophies and demonic doubts in order to diminish the power of the truth of God's word which saves people from their sins. If a person cannot believe JESUS to be the true God because He is Man at the same time, he cannot be saved from sins. The next time any person creates a doubt regarding this, say in JESUS name I resist this lie because Jesus who is God became a man to save me from my sins (Matt 1:21). I bet the devil will flee before you finish that sentence fully. Praise the Lord!

MUCH blessings....

Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #55: "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." (John 17:3).

All the religions in this world have their own definition about after-life. Most religions say that those who do good will get a heavenly life after death, those who do wrong will get a hellish life after death. But none of these religions could say and point out that man in his natural sinful state cannot ever go to heaven as it is a perfect place of holiness and purity. But the God of the Bible showed Himself up as a man in Christ Jesus and said, " 23 ..., “You [humans] are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world [system of governance in your sinful state]; I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He [i.e. your Lord and Saviour], you will die in your sins.”" (John 8:23-24). Jesus is the only person who had pointed out that man in his natural sinful state will die in their sins if they do not believe Him [i.e. Jesus the Christ] as their Saviour and Lord.

Still today in our world more than ever, people have this question, 'How can I go to heaven?' The clearest answer to this intriguing question till date has been given by Jesus who said, "This is how people can have enter heaven and continue to live without dying, that is through knowing the only true God who owns the heaven and have allowed man to live on earth (Psa 50:12; 24:1; 115:16), and through Jesus Christ whom He has sent to save people like us from their sins." (John 17:3, Paraphrased). So relationship with the true God of the heaven is the only route to enter heaven and live the after-life in heaven.

The good news of the Gospel is so amazing to comprehend. The relationship with God which was impossible to establish by human efforts because of innate sinfulness during the Old Testament days for nearly 4000 BC years, has now for the last 2000 years have been made possible to every human being through believing Jesus. The Bible simply says, "9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Rom 10:9-10). To get in to heaven is so simple now as we see in the above verses, if we confess Jesus as our Lord and believe in our heart that God has raised Him from the dead for our justification from sins [i.e. freed and forgiven of all our past, present and future sins because of God's substitution of Jesus on behalf of us to die for our sins (2 Cor 5:18, 21)], the moment we do this we are assured of a place in heaven because God becomes a friend from that moment of time (1 Cor 15:3-4, 17; Rom 4:25; Eph 2:13; James 2:23). Once we believe in Jesus, we are washed clean and justified in Jesus. Then simply God sees us as though we have never sinned. Then every time we have some burden of dificulties, sin or trials, we can go boldly to this perfect and holy God, and can commune with Him having a clear conscience of being forgiven of all our past, present and future sins by faith in Jesus. The good things is, this is all ordained and arranged by this only true God who has loved us and wanted us to be in heaven with Him forever (John 3:16). DON'T PLAY RELIGION WHICH SAVES NO ONE, PURSUE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD WHICH NOT ONLY SAVES YOU ETERNALLY AND SECURES A PLACE IN HEAVEN, BUT ALSO MAKES YOU A FAVOURED FRIEND OF GOD. This is the reason the Psalmist Asaph wrote, "Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You." (Psa 73:25). In others words, the psalmist was saying that if we do not desire God on earth now, what is the use of going to heaven where only God will be the central focus of happiness and joy for eternity. So the bottom line is, all those who pursue a relationship with God through Jesus Christ now will live for eternity in the heavenly bliss of joy, peace and righteousness in God's Presence which will comes in to one's heart now and will continue in heaven in their afterlife.

# 54 - Art of Living

Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #54: "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Rom.8:14, NKJV).

Praise the Lord dear friends! As I had a intense hunger and desire to grow spiritually and asked God for supernatural growth in my early twenties, little did I realize that God will send a intense suffering to make me grow. Just after I finished my Engineering, I got in to a computer company as a trainee. But at that time my ambitions were to do well financially and give God some money out of the abundance I planned to earn. Even had a desire to build Churches and help the mission of reaching people with the good news which had saved me in my childhood days and has taught all good things in life. But suddenly an intense storm of physical infirmity in the form of Hyper Thyroid in life threatening proportions hit me. I was devastated and became broken inside out. I was severly depressed as I saw many of my year mates and others doing well in their lives, yet here I was sitting in a hopeless situation and dire straits.

At that time of great trial, little did I realize that God did not want me to run a meaningless rat race like many do in the corporate world of emptiness, where depression creeps in to people's soul later in their lives without God. During the time when we were small at the end of 20th century, people used to speak about mid-life crisis where people at the age of fifty will have earned all things they have pursued and lived for in their lives, but full of void and emptiness of depressive nature filling their lives and making their lives miserable. But in our times in the twenty first century, people who go in to corporates earn all that their heart desires even before they reach the age of twenty five. But the sad thing is, now half life crisis have got worsened to quarter life crisis, where young men having all things of this world do not know how to fill the void that has come so greatly in to their hearts. The more people try to substitute the God given purpose for their lives with their own well planned blue print for their own future, the more clueless they will become spiritually in their lives as time passes on.

I thank God that I came to realise through the voice of God that came to me in a vision in the afternoon while I was sleeping due to strengthlessness caused by the sickness. In that vision I was instructed by God to apostolically work for Him. I did not know which work to do for God. Things like helping the poor people, taking care of orphans and widows, financially supporting the Church, preaching and teaching the word of God are all the work of God equally. So again I was in a dilemma knowing not what work I should do. I did not know at that point of time that God unfolds His plans step by step, year after year and decade after decade as we continue to walk with Him. In the midst of such a Crisis, I asked God to supernaturally lead me by His Spirit if he wanted me to work for Him. As I started to believe in the voice of God and began to work towards His plan for my life, God started leading me supernaturally through His Spirit. I began to understand the plans of God clearly as I started to push my self towards the fullfillment of it. God supernaturally baptized and filled me with His Spirit, inspite of me coming up in a denomination that has never believed that the evidence of Spirit filling is attested by a supernatural tongue speaking utterance which the Holy Spirit gives. From that point of time, I HAVE BEEN SUPERNATURALLY FILLED BY THE SPIRIT AGAIN AND AGAIN AS I CONTINUED TO SPEAK TO GOD IN THE PERSONAL TONGUES THAT CAME AS A GIFT WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM, WHICH ONLY GOD UNDERSTANDS AND NO ONE IN HEAVEN OR EARTH WILL BE ABLE TO EAVESDROP IN TO IT (1 Cor 14:2). Because of the great spiritual edification that I received ever since in my soul, God's powerful gifts have manifested in my life through the supernatural leading of the Holy Spirit. I thank God and praise God that I did not lethargically just stay as a child of God practicing the same basic elementary principles of Christ forever as I did since my childhood days, but chose to move on to unchartered in-depth spiritual territory as the son of God, being led by THE SPIRIT OF MY GOD (Heb 6:1-2). God gave me faith to prophesy and speak as the oracles of God (Rom 12:6; 1 Peter 4:11). I believe what God has done in my life for the past decade is just the beginning. I pray and hope that you will all be a part of my blessed journey with OUR GOD, LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST in the coming days. I want you all to be blessed as much as I am and even go higher than me if possible. May the grace of our Lord Jesus and the love of God the Father and the communion of the Holy Spirit abide and bring great rest to you in your spiritual journey with God (2 Cor 13:14).

#53 — Art of Living

Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #53: "Those who are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.." (Psalms 92:13, NKJV).

I praise God for the privilege that God gave me in my childhood to grown in the house of the Lord. As my dad is a pastor who pioneered a Church in Erode which is in South India and places around it, initially we were living in a thatched coconut leaf roof shed as a small children in faith. When ever some storms would blow, all the fence around the Church would fall down and in the morning all the brothers living around the Church would come to reassemble the whole structure. Then as the rain would pour out, we would take a lot of vessels and keep those vessels under all the places in our house where water would be dropping in. It was truly a time of great faith that my Dad and Mother went through along with us as little kids. And we had a very big thatched coconut leaf roof Church just opposite the place where we stayed.

Still I could remember clearly how much joy we had in living in that humble place. Now I realize that the joy we had was no natural one but a supernatural one from heaven, as the conditions we were living were very hard and substandard. We faced many trials in our family. We constantly faced health issues, financial issues and the burden of ministry right through out those times. One time, some anti-social miscreants threw a fire ball over the Church and ran away. Before we could douse the fire with our limited water supply, the whole Church got guttered down. It was a big shock to all of us. God in His faithfullness had prepared a believer to build a terrace house just opposite to our Church and it was ready to occupy at that time. The owner immediately gave it to us for rent. But this tragedy still strengthened our resolve to live for the Lord. Today I can tell you, all those trials that came to our family made us stronger spiritually. Dad never would tell us all these burdens but would be praying for it constantly as we faced it all. But when I was growing up from childhood to adolescence to adulthood, the world's way of thinking began to creep in to my mind and I began to think that we were lacking and poor compared to the worldly people. But such thinking sapped the joy that I had in me slowly like a leech.

But then as I was in to adulthood, all my joy was lost forever and bI egan to seriously think about the joy I experienced in the house of the Lord in my childhood days, inspite of poor conditions all around me. Then it dawned on me that the joy I experienced in the house of the Lord was thousand times more satisfying at any time than any passing sinful pleasure that I ever experienced in the world (Psa 84:10). Then I began to desire for it and asked the Lord to fill me with such heavenly joy again. Then after that God sent a heavy trial physically to refine me, I felt miserable but the Joy of the Lord began to sustain me through those trials. I began to desire seriously again to live in the house of the Lord and flourish with the heavenly life of joy, peace and righteousness again (Psa 27:4; 16:11). Guess what? The Lord called me in to ministry and thereafter I began to live by faith. The anointing of the Holy Spirit increased upon my life and made me realise that I myself is the house of the Lord (1 Cor 6:19-20). When the presence of God rushes from deep within my spirit to my soul mind and emotions, I understood that I am actually flourishing in the courts of the Lord. In the New Testament, the spirit-man is the most Holy place of communion where we speak to God face to face spiritually, and our soul is the holy place where we minister to the Lord with our mind, emotion and will continuously, and our body is the outer court where we as living sacrifice, sacrifice all our actions, strength and doings to the Lord (Rom 12:1). Now my life is blessed by God and is full of joy, victory and glory because I have chosen to pitch my tent inside the house of the Lord spiritually. ARE YOU READY? YOU ARE ASKING ME FOR WHAT? JUST TO PITCH YOUR TENT IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD AND FLOURISH ALONG WITH ME FOR THE GLORY OF GOD. I pray that your life be filled with the joy of the Lord and flourish by being planted in the house of the Lord forever and ever!

Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #52: "Do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit." (Mark 13:11, NKJV).

Ѧ℘☺﹩☂◎łḯ¢ €ϰ℘øüηḓ : Worry is the biggest epidemic of our end of end times. Exactly as predicted and foretold by Jesus, unpredictable weather patterns, strange occurances in all the galaxies, earth getting out of control and as a result the high waves that comes out of the sea to gulp huge mass of people on the land [i.e. tsunamis] for which no super power on earth has answers to protect its citizens from it, storm and tornadoes that causes unprecedented destruction in various places regularly, massive sudden earth quakes that razes off the civilisation in its entirety and famines striking diverse places because of heat waves, are causing men's hearts to fail from worry and fear of what is to come to the earth in the coming days (Luke 21:25-26). Surely for the iniquities and for all the perpetual evil and wicked thoughts of men, God will not only shake the earth but will also shake the heavens to make man understand that he is serious about sin and wants to eradicate it from the whole earth because it destroys man (Gen 6:5).

These are questions of great importance that even the Hollywood film makers are serious enough to speculate and cause more uncertainity to grip the hearts of men through their recent films. Leo Buscaglia says, "Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy." Exactly this is what the Lord Jesus has said to His disciples in the above verse where he says, "Do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak." To speak before people in itself needs a lot of guts and boldness, and that too to stand before judges of great coucils and goverments to defend themselves of their faith and give them the reason they were preaching the gospel needs great wisdom from the followers of Jesus. But God had promised not only to give wisdom to them but speak through His Spirit through their very mouth! O what a priviledge! For the great God of heaven and earth to use our mouth to glorify His name.

To premeditate what to speak will first bring worry and then fear which will take all our joy away from us. To do great things for God, the first thing we must do is to stop worrying and start enjoying our journey of adventure in God. One reason we should never worry is because we do yet not we, it is God the Holy Spirit who dwells in us who does all the things through us to glorify God. In other words, as we yield and give ourselves to God, God starts to operate through our body. All our five senses He takes over and operates through our willingness to yield our body as living sacrifice to Him (Rom 12:1).

I remember the time when God first called me in to ministry, I was already chastened by God in His faithfullness and was taking medication for hyper-thyroidism (Psa 119:75). I was always a total introvert and shy from my childhood, I would never dare to stand before people to speak and I knew that I couldn't speak with my natural ability. Due to unavoidable divinely ordained circumstances, in fear and trembling everytime God would make me stand on the stage to speak the word. With thumping heart beat I would stand and then with a shaky voice I would start the sermon and suddenly my voice would start to boom. Immediately I would be so bold and confident to stand before people. Then words and thoughts would flow continiously like a river every time. I was amazed by this phenomenon.

One day as immature as I was at that time, I thought that by my own knowledge and strength I was able to give these phenomenal messages, and so prepared greatly beforehand for a sermon and did not pray to depend on Him much that day. So the moment I started my sermon, I was already feeling bored myself. Then even during the sermon I asked the Lord to help me again through the Holy Spirit and guess what? The anointing returned and all the young people became attentive at the end of the sermon. I thanked God and finished the sermon that day. I learned a great lesson that day from God, never worry too much or never be too over confident but learn to depend on God completely and He will speak through your mouth and make you a blessing to many. Every time I would depend on God to speak without much premeditation or worry, I would feel so joyful to hear the voice of God through me. My spirit-man would start to dance right through the sermon with the life of God flowing out of it like a river through it.

God is a ontime God and would give the right message to be spoken by you on the right time for the right needs of the people to be supplied through you. Get on with God's bandwagon of the Holy Spirit's supernaturally natural life of depending on God to speak through you, you will not only be blessed but shall be a blessing to many many people around you in JESUS name! Truly you will have joy by the answer of your mouth and the word you speak in due season how good it will be to people around you. May you be blessed to be a blessing through the words of your mouth as it has the power to give life or death (Prov 18:21). Always love to speak the blessing of life in to everyone's situation including your own and know that yet it is not you who speaks but the Holy Spirit Himself who is speaking through you as you are depending on Him completely. God's voice and words coming through our mouth is as powerful as it is from the very mouth of God! WORRY FREE LIFE IS A SORRY FREE LIFE, NO REGRETS BUT ONLY EXCITEMENT OF WHAT GOD WILL DO THROUGH US. Look to God now and be satisfied in His all sufficient power of the Holy Spirit that makes us to live supernaturally in the now realm of God, where only those who dare to hold on God by faith will fly with God.

"Today will become the tomorrow we worried about yesterday, if we fail to depend on God's sufficiency to speak through us without our premeditation of what to speak in critical circumstances we face daily." — Abraham Israel

Art of Living #51

Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #51 : "Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”" (1 Cor 15:33, NKJV).

Ѧ℘☺﹩☂◎łḯ¢ €ϰ℘øüηḓ : From my childhood days I am born and brought up in a Pastor's family where my parents have always tried to keep word for word from the Bible with great zeal. Even when I was a little baby, the first thing my mother taught me was to say , "...While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." So when I was growing up, we used to refrain from attending schools and buying anything from shops even for groceries on sundays, avoid movies and theatre even when the school takes all the children to entertain them, attend the Church and not miss it for any reasons even if any exams by chance come on that day which is very important to ones career, etc... So I was carrying on externally well until the time came to join my polytechnic college. I was sixteen at that time. There when I joined, I saw people valued the values which are totally opposite to what I believed.

Intially in the first year I had good friends who were worldly in their thinking but were good academically. And one day while going to attend a lecturer's marriage, all of them wanted to go for a movie in the night, so without resisting it I went to accompany them. Even some of them who knew me that I have never seen any movie inside a theater in my life, surprisingly asked me about it, but I just smiled and said 'I do see now.' Soon I thought that it is not at all wrong to go and see movies in the theatre. Even my dad one day told me that he would stop being a preacher and teacher of the word as I have been a bad example to many people, but that didn't bother me a bit but only made me to do all those things secretly. The world became so tempting to me, finally I thought that being a bad boy in the class is the most fashionable thing. What a deception of the devil! But I didn't realise the foolishness of it at that time, so I began to cut the classes and go to many different cinema theatres. My attendance hit the rock bottom and everybody began to see me as a real bad-boy. It is just by the grace of God that I did not get dropped out of my college. As like me coming from a zealous Christian background is good, but the enemy of our soul knows how to make us remove the hedge that is around us with out knowing its value.

But thank God for godly parents, they tried their best to make me understand and stop me from going to such extremes. Once in the afternoon I told my mother that I am going to my friends house and rushed up to see a flim in the afternoon and came back after the show was over in the evening at five. Mother knew very well that I had gone to the cinema theatre. But she never asked me why at that time. Instead my parents prayed for me toward God to keep a supernatural hedge around me like the man of God Job did (Job 1:2-5, 10). I thank God for such prayers because, when the bad friends tried to teach me to smoke, I puffed up for a couple of time and then got irritated to such an extent that I did not want to smoke again. Again I got mocked by the bad company and I again tried to smoke but the same result happened. I really praise God that the effective prayer of righteous people like my Dad and Mom had availed much to stop me further from going in to it (James 5:16). Still I went further in to seeing movies that were immoral and erotic. My mind began to be filled with the gutter and sewerage of the worldly lusts. Soon I lost that childlike thinking that I enjoyed mostly all through my early teens. Little did I realize what I did would take many many years and great chastisement from God for me to come back to Him. Thank God I did come back to Him years later, but wasted years have been wasted forever. I want you to resist the temptation when the world tries to conform you to its whims and fancies. The one mistake I did in my teens was that, I did not allow my mind to be renewed by the word of God in order to be transformed daily during my teen years (Rom12:2), instead my religion was more legalistic to be conformed to my traditional upbringing. So I became a hypocrite and finally lost my precious time in my teen years which could have been used for God. WHEN WE TRY TO CONFORM OURSELVES TO THE WORLDLY PEOPLE, ALL OUR GOOD AND GODLY MORAL HABITS WILL SOON BECOME CORRUPTED TO THE EXTENT WE WILL BECOME USELESS TO GOD AND HIS PURPOSE. I pray that the Lord might help us all in the coming days to renew our mind daily with the word of God and be transformed day by day in to the likeness of JESUS OUR LORD! May God help us to choose friends whom He brings by divine appointment, who will work with us to fulfill His divine purpose for our lives. May God help us not to choose friends by our fleshly decision to please our own self, who will take us further and further away from God and His purposes for our lives. May our life be a sweet fragrance to our Heavenly Father who has loved us with an everlasting love.

Art of Living #50

Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #50 : "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things." (Phil 4:8, NIV).

Ѧ℘☺﹩☂◎łḯ¢ €ϰ℘øüηḓ : God has given us all a gift that is more valuable than any material blessing that He gives. It cannot be equated with anything material that God provides us because all material blessings of God need to have this gift along with it for any person to really enjoy it on planet earth. By now I think you might have guessed it? It is nothing other than the power of a beautiful mind within us. If the mind in us is filled with beauty and the glory of God, all the world around us becomes beautiful. Have you experienced the miserable times when you have all things that you need with you, but do not have a calm heart to enjoy the things surrounding you and the beautiful environment around you? If you have realized the value of this blessed mind, then you need to know how we can really improve its performance to stay joyful, peaceful and serene all the time.

The blessed Apostle Paul who wrote atleast one third of the whole New Testament developed a blessed mind by the power of God and said the following, "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate [and think intentionally] on these things." (Phil 4:8). In other words, only when we choose to think on things true, noble, pure, lovely and of good report which is full of the virtue of God's character and power display, worthy of praise to God, then we can be able to little by little increase the performance of our fallen sinful mind to a beautiful blessed mind filled with an incresing level of God's glory! We need discipline and consistency to really attain this blessedness.

Whatever effort or hardship God allows us to go through in order to train us and reward us with a beautiful mind is worth every effort on our part, because the whole world becomes beautiful when our mind starts to think beautifully with the blessed thoughts of God. When we change our thinking, the whole world around us changes instantly. This is the one of the greatest miracle of all. Our mind can think only one thought at a time. When silly, evil, sinful and discouraging thoughts arises in our mind through the influence of our sin nature within, immediately we should make a good choice to replace it with a positive, life-giving, and soul enriching Word of God based thought immediately. God who sees whether we are sincere in our effort to intentinally think on His word in our soul constantly, will start to slowly record those things in our spirit and then give His quickened word from our spirit-man which will become a blessed thought of the moment to replace the sinful and mundane in our soul. After some months and years of hard work, the blessedness of God's glory will start to flow without our effort perpetually. Like a river it starts to constantly flow in to our mind and keeps our soul like a tree planted by the rivers of waters. O what a blessedness! SO KEEP THINKING ON THE GOOD THOUGHTS OF THE WORD OF GOD CONSTANTLY BY MEDITATING AND CHEWING ON IT AS A CUD AGAIN AND AGAIN, UNTIL IT GOES DEEP IN TO YOUR SPIRIT AND COMES OUT OF IT AS A BLESSED THOUGHT FROM THE THRONE OF GOD IN TO YOUR SOUL AGAIN, ANOINTED AND SHINING AS A RAINBOW OUT OF A PRISM. May God help us all to train, discipline ourselves to think intentionally the good thoughts of God and His Word so that we could keep the beautiful mind to be filled with the rainbow of God's glory all the time more and more progressively!

"Continued meditation brings great profit to the soul. Passant and transient thoughts are more pleasant, but not so profitable. Deliberate meditation is of most use because it secures the return of the thoughts." — Thomas Manton
