Art of Living #31

Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #31 : "Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it." (Psalm 81:10).

Ѧ℘☺﹩☂◎łḯ¢ €ϰ℘øüηḓ : I remember the time in my early twenties when I was drawn by God in to ministry, I was a man like Moses who felt that I had not ability to speak before people (Exod 4:12). I remember telling to God that I cannot speak and that I am ready to do anything other than this, the Lord gave great encouragement by telling me that all I need to do was open my mouth and He will speak through me. At first it was nice to hear what God was saying, but then God was beginnning to constantly quicken me to speak about God and Bible to every one I met. I was seeing all the programs in the christian television that was coming to India exactly at that time of the beginning of this century. Something supernatural was happenning in my life and I was not able to grasp it fully.

Since childhood I would partake in all sunday school programs and I would do a great drama pratice and act wonderfully well until the real day of performance for the special occasion would come. Once I get on to the stage to perform and see all the people in the Church, suddenly inhibition would start to control me, I would start to blabber and immediately forget all the things which I would have had in my mind till then. This would be greatly distressing to me afterwards. This also always happened whenever I would meet new people or stand before people to speak. As a result of getting embarrased before people, I would avoid such situation altogether. Whenever people would come to our house, I would be slipping out rather than to meet them.

But then God set a good plan to take me before young people and speak His Word. Once a deacon and elder in our Church at that time was speaking with me casually about Bible and suddenly he invited me to come and speak before young people who would gather in his house prayer meeting. At that time I was taking medication for hyper thyroid which increased three times more than normal level. I felt very bad and thought what I feared had come upon me like Job the man of God (Job 3:25). But then it was a embarrassing situation in which I cannot give any reason not to go over to that prayer meeting. So some how I told God that I need His help and I believe that You will do what You have told me. I had peace about it in my heart. So I went to the meeting and gave a poor introduction by saying, 'Hello..I am not a veteran but just a amateur to speak about Bible.' The same old inhibition came upon me at that time, but suddenly I began to speak about God and the Bible for the next fortyfive minutes. I was not able to finish the message. GLORY TO GOD! Truly God is good and faithful to speak through me and bless people. It was awesome experience and has continued ever since. TODAY IF YOU ARE DISCOURAGED TO MEET SOMEONE WHO HAS WRONGED YOU OR FEEL FEARFUL TO STAND BEFORE PEOPLE AND SPEAK ABOUT JESUS, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH BY FAITH AND GOD WILL FILL YOUR MOUTH WITH HIS DIVINE WISDOM AND WORDS TO TOUCH, BLESS AND ENCOURAGE PEOPLE FOR THE GLORY OF GOD!!! Never forget to do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.

Art of Living #30

Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #30 : "34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed."" (John 8:34-36).

Ѧ℘☺﹩☂◎łḯ¢ €ϰ℘øüηḓ : Christianity is not just one of the religion in the world that gives humans a sense of spiritual satisfaction, but it is the unique one and only God ordained belief system that leads a man to God and adopts him in to the family of God. According to Jesus, "whoever commits sin is a slave of sin." Do all religious people in the world commit sin and that too atleast once in their life? Yes even daily, because we are born sinners. That means Jesus is saying, people of all religions in the world are sinners. So religion is not a answer to man's spiritual problems.

A sinner cannot ever find the true God who calls Himself as the "Holy One of Israel" (Isa 30:15). This is why God Himself had the heavenly blueprint to reach all men through His Son Jesus and executed it before two thousand years and sealed a new agreement with humanity. In the agreement God the Father signed with Jesus, he declared that all who accept Jesus as His only Begotten Son will inherit the legal right to be a heir of all His wealth. So Jesus the Christ has become the only God ordained dispenser of adoptive rights of God to all humanity who believe in Him. Jesus takes the sin problem of those who believe in Him and sets them free from it forever to become legally adopted as God's own adopted child. Because Jesus being sinlessly perfect died once and for all time a death which God accepted as the antidote and substitute for his adopted children's on earth, He sees each one of us who believe in Jesus as righeous and perfect as Jesus is from heaven now.

Therefore Jesus said, if the Son [i.e. pointing to Himself] makes you free from sin problem, you can continue to be a child of God for eternity ahead. O what a priviledge!!! A slave is a religious person who works with all his might to get saved and enter heaven. He wants to earn salvation through his own hard work. Inspite of striving to enter heaven, they will not be able to abide with this Holy God in heaven because he demands a hundred percentage perfect righteousness (James 2:10). WHEN JESUS FORGIVES YOU, HE FORGIVES YOUR PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE SINS AND MAKES YOU A CHILD OF GOD FOR ETERNITY AHEAD!!!! As our body is considered as a house in which our spirit-man legally lives on this earth, as God's child even though we physically die once and after that at the time of the rapture of the Church we will all rise up in a glorious body which has no death for eternity ahead. We will surely abide once again in this God's house of our body forever. Praise the Lord!

Blessings....

Å℘◎﹩☂øł☤ḉ ℚυ◎тℯṧ : "When you put no value to your relationship with God, God puts no value to your service that you do for Him. You can prophesy, cast out demons and even do many wonders through your calling anointing, but when you are not born as His child in your spirit, all these works will go down the pipe as works which are not valuable enough to save your own soul." — Abraham Israel

Great Quotes

Ḡґℯαт ℚυø⊥εṧ : "John Wesley tells of a dream he had. In the dream, he was ushered to the gates of Hell. There he asked, "Are there any Presbyterians here?" "Yes!", came the answer. Then he asked, "Are there any Baptists? Any Episcopalians? Any Methodists?" The answer was Yes! each time. Much distressed, Wesley was then ushered to the gates of Heaven. There he asked the same question, and the answer was No! "No?" To this, Wesley asked, "Who then is inside?" The answer came back, "There are only Christians here." (1 Cor 1:10-17)" — John Wesley
