No weapon forged against you will prevail(Isaiah 54:17)


Continued from previous magazine issue.1.) Born again (John 3:3)2.) Born of the Spirit (John 3:5)3.) Born of Water (John 3:5) only those whoare born of water can become the parts ofthe body in New Testament in Lord JesusChrist’s church’s body parts.According to 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18 oneincident can take place any time. Thereforewe should always be prepared in asupreme manner.There are four Testimonies or witnesses.1. God the Father’s Testimony2. Lord Jesus Christ’s Testimony3. Angel’s Testimony4. Apostle John’s TestimonyIn Revelation 1:1-2 “The Revelation of JesusChrist, which God gave unto him, to shewunto his servants things which must shortlycome to pass: and he sent and signified itby his angel unto his servant John”. Wesee that New Testament of Christianchurch was revealed through ApostleJohn. In the same way we shouldunderstand that God alone can picturizethe future of the whole world. (Isaiah 41:4;43:9-12; 44:6-8) The creator only whocreated this world can read the future ofthe world and make us know about it. OurGod is a learned scholar. (Romans 11:33)In this world we may have seen manypeople who can tell us about the future.

But God’s word says they are all liars andcheaters. Nobody can tell about the futureexcept our God. Our God can mould thefuture of the world. When we read thebible the future of many devotees wasalready made known to them with priorintimation and their living is made to goahead. Think about Joseph, David,Abraham, Isaac, James, Samuel, Mosesmany more devotees. God has fulfilled allthe things what was spoken. Before he hadspoken about Niniveh, Sodom Gomorrahand did exactly according to what he hadspoken. Even about Jerusalem he did whatwas told before. Dear God’s children if youread bible and spend more time in thepresence of God, then he will surely letyou know many things with priorintimation, “Call to me and I will answeryou and tell you great and unsearchablethings you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3).

Revelation 1:1-2 According to this verseit is possible for us to know someimportant occurrence. Our God is a welldisciplined and systematic God. If at allthings happened in this way then ApostleJohn would have become a proud man byreceiving this Revelation. “And lest Ishould be exalted above measure throughthe abundance of the relations, there wasgiven to me a thorn in the flesh; themessenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I

But his delight is in the law of the Lord and on his law he meditates day and night.(Psalm 1:2)


should be exalted above measure. For thisthing I be sought the Lord thrice, that itmight depart from me, And he said untome, My grace is sufficient for thee: for mystrength is made perfect in weakness. Mostgladly therefore will I rather glory in myinfirmities, that the power of Christ mayrest upon me”.

“Pride goeth before destruction and ahaughty spirit before a fall” (Prov 16:18)Because of spiritual pride many havebecome slow and weak in spiritual life.Many have different gift talents from God,like wisdom of richness, wisdom ofworship, wisdom of vision wisdom ofrevelation, singing songs and so on. Somebecome proud because of these talents.Because of their prideness they lose God’sblessings. Satan was pushed away becauseof his arrogance. “By humility and the fearof the Lord are riches and honor andlife.”(Prov 22:4) “Humble yourself underthe mighty hand of God and he will liftyou up at the right time” (1st Peter 5:5-6).

In Rev 1:1-2 there is another subject tonote down is that when God the Fathercalled Jesus Christ he said to Jesus Christ,to the angels, angels only to Apostle John.We may bring to our notice many thingswhich are being revealed about the lastdays. God has given each one of usMinistry according to the calling. In Acts13:23 it says that we should be preparedto do any work we are called for. In 1st

Corinthians 3:5 we see that Ministry isgiven by God to us. Each one have God’s

calling according to our calling we shoulddo the Ministry. Then God will stronglyuse us in his Ministry and it is possible forus to lead a blessed Ministry.1. How to do Ministry: In Luke 2:37 Annawas a widow of about fourscore and fouryears, who departed not from the temple,but served God with fasting and prayersnight and day. Ministry means helpingothers, to serve others, give to others andwork hard for others. By doing this wesee in the word of God that there will bemore Annas. One sad thing is that manyare not aware of what the calling is whatthe Ministry is. As a result many have adown fall in their life because they do thewrong Ministry what is not given to them.It is impossible for a manager to do thework of a machine, or an accountant doingthe work of a waiter. In the same way ifwe do not have the calling from God, it isnot possible for us to do the Ministry, “Asevery man hath received the gift, even sominister the same one to another as goodstewards of the manifold grace of God”.(1 Peter 4:10) Here we see that we havereceived the gift of grace from God. Somehave the gift of fasting prayer. Others havethe calling of preaching the Gospel. Oneday one Christian believer came to me andnamed two to three churches and told methat they are making fun of yourorphanage. He said that they are asking isthis type of work called ministry. They arejust picking up roadside mental persons

I have come into the world as a light, so that no-one who believes in me should stay indarkness. (John 12:46)


and keeping them in the orphanage. Hewas really looking very sad when he wasnarrating this incident to me. I told himlisten brother what will people understandtalking such rubbish when they don’tknow the precious value of these poordestitute. They don’t have any shelter, nofood, poverty and they are beingneglected and thrown out from the society.If we don’t show mercy on these people,where will they go? They are struggling

In you our fathers put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them. (Psalm 22:4)

For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who areperishing. (2 cor 2:15)

4) To lead a Holy Life (Heb 13:3-4) :-Today so many youngsters are living in asinful life by doing improper act oradultery and then the conscious startpricking and they feel ashamed of theirselves. Many husbands and wives keepimpure relation with other lady or man andlead a life full of dirtiness. “And heanswered and said unto them. Have ye notread that he who made them at thebeginning made them male and female.And said, for this cause shall a man leavefather and mother and shall cleave to hiswife: and they twain shall be one flesh?Wherefore they are no more twain, but oneflesh. What therefore God hath joinedtogether, let not man put asunder.”(Mathew 19:4-6) The Bible says manshould not separate those persons whomGod has united. In married life throughmarriage God has bound woman and mantogether. Therefore both should not getseparated. Even mother, mother-in-law,father, brother-in-law, sister, brother,niece and so on. Neither of these peoplecan separate them. Every year in Indiamore than ten thousand have the chancesof separation. The reason for thisseparation is that they don’t adjust andunderstand one another’s feeling. Somesurrender for separation because theydon’t get the satisfaction of sexualenjoyment. In the word of God Lord

sorrowfully says like this “And did not hemake one? Yet had he the residue of thespirit, And wherefore one? That he mightseek a godly seed. Therefore take heed toyour spirit, and let none deal treacherouslyagainst the wife of his youth. For the Lord,the God of Israel saith that he hatethputting away: for one covereth violencewith his garment, saith the Lord of hosts;therefore take heed to your spirit that yedeal not treacherously.” (Malachi 2:15-16)a) Breaking marriage is contradictory toGod’s word.b)Those whose marriage is broken isequivalent to committing sin of adultery.c) In your married life don’t keep otherrelationship outside.a) & b) Breaking marriage is contradictoryto God’s word (Malachi 2:15-16) “And Isay unto you, whosoever shall put awayhis wife, except it be for fornication, andshall marry another, committeth adultery:and who so marrieth her which is put awayboth commit adultery.” (Mathew 19:9)Mark 10:11; Mathew 5:32 The Bible tellsus that there is one and only reason whythere is separation in married life. That isbecause of the sin of adultery. If we asksome of them why this separation takesplace, they give different answers like myhusband beats me, scolds, harasses, doesnot come home on time, doubt abouthusband having an affair with another

For there is one and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.(1 Timothy 2:5)


woman and so on. Dear brothers andsisters if you have experienced thesesituations in your wedded life then this isnot the right way and solution for this. Theone and only way to bring transformationin your life is to just close your eyes and“PRAY”. Things or act that is impossiblecan be made possible by our Lord andthrough this there will be changes in yourlife. I wish to tell you about a family whomI know. She grew up in a God fearingfamily. Then she fell in love with oneunbeliever and got married to him. She wasnot ready to listen to anybody’s advice.In the beginning of her married life, shewas very happy. After some time there wasconfusion between them, doubts, blame,dispute and quarrel all such things startedarising. She didn’t know what to do. Someadvised her to take separation. Someadvised her to go to her parent’s house.Then this woman realized her mistake ofgetting married to a man that has no faithand fear of God. She repented for her sinand asked for forgiveness in the presenceof God. She tolerates all her husband’sharassment and dispute and prayed for hislife to be transformed. Months passed byand 3 years but no changes occurred in hislife. One day at night he was returningback home on his bike heavily drunk, metwith an accident and one of his leg gotbadly hurt. This woman with greatpatience, interest and attachment, tookgreat care of her husband in the hospital.He was very much burdened to feel hiswife’s love and affection towards him; he

repented for his mistake and asked forforgiveness. Then he promised her thathenceforth he will love her and lead a newand fresh life. From then onwards hediscontinued his drinking habit andstarted reading the Bible and prayingevery day. In one prayer meeting Godperformed great miracle and healed his leg.Now in Christ this family is leading a joyfullife. You being God’s children should waitin the presence of God with patience andprayer. Lord will act on your family andbring the necessary changes.

If a person after separation gets marriedagain then it is equivalent to committingadultery.

What is your intention of taking aseparation? Is it for body enjoyment orseeing another man or woman committingadultery? “But I say unto you, thatwhosoever shall put away his wife, savingfor the cause of fornication, causeth her tocommit adultery.” (Mathew 5:32) Eitheryou have to pray hard and wait patientlyin the presence of God for thetransformation of your life, or (if it is dueto adultery) after separation you shouldnot mingle with bad companions. God hasunited both husband and wife into one, tolead a clean and pure wedded life withoutany spot of disgrace. Therefore you shouldprotect your wedded life and lead a pureand holy life.c.) In your wedded life don’t keep relationwith others:

It is really sad to see many weddedcouples are leading an unsatisfactory life.

May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. (Psalm 20:1)


“Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoicewith the wife of thy youth.” (Prov 5:18)My husband told me about a family heknew. One brother with good earning wasstaying abroad. Every month he used toregularly send money to his wife for houseexpense. Every week he used to speak tohis wife and children on the phone. Heused to come on a holiday and spend timewith his wife and children once a year andreturned back. Suddenly one fine day hestopped sending money and calling her.From India the wife started calling him up,

but no proper reply. She started living fullof worries and tension. This man(husband) had relation with anothermarried woman. Because of this faultyrelation his life was transformed into adrunkard. Once a month or once in twomonths he used to call up his wife andsimply abuse her. When the wife came toknow about her husband’s affair she wasdeeply grieved.To be continued

At the same time, photographers went around shootingdown the best clicks through their machine guns.Transgender people in India have always had to define themselves on governmentforms as either a “male” or “female.” But that is about to change. In a land mark ruling,India’s Supreme Court has recognized a third gender option to be created for transgenderpeople, or “Hijras”, as they are often reffered to in South Asia.Udupi : New is good but old is awesome: In today’s most developing world, there isnothing which we don’t get so easily.
