Persecution gives Christians a chance to shout-out to the LORD God how much you love Him, by enduring more than the worldly common.
Persecution gives us a chance to prove our love and following of Jesus Christ, as we endeavor to do it His Way, in spite of our human desires for retribution and attack.
Persecution makes a fertile ground for spiritual growth to be increased at a higher rate, as lessons of God are frequently inserted within the drama.
Persecution shouts to the persecutors the witness of Jesus Christ, and your willingness to endure in showing His love!
Wed, 17/09/2008 - 11:01pm The War of the Truths
.
Herein, I offer you your enlightenment, your salvation, your freedom:
What is Humanity? Creatures questing for the TRUTH.
What is GOD? What is RELIGION? The claim that it is the TRUTH.
What is TRUTH? Is it your TRUTH or my TRUTH? Why should you impose your TRUTH upon me?
There is a MOTIVE. That MOTIVE is within you. That MOTIVE is sinister because that MOTIVE satisfies you personally. It is self centered and selfish. The same may be when I counter your TRUTH with my TRUTH. TRUTH is what I say it is, not you.
Why is there religious proselytizing and religious violence in the world?
Because it is the clash of the TRUTHS. Neither wants to be the LIE, and gullible man is the instrument willing to kill or die for his perceived TRUTH, his GOD. Such is our delusion of TRUTH. What we perceive to be our BLESSING is our CURSE in disguise, the unfathomed CURSE upon humanity. It was said, "Blessed are they who have not seen, yet believe."
Is it a BLESSING or a CURSE to be gullible and believing?
We shut the door. In darkness we give a lot of time to prayer. We pray that our TRUTH prevail. We have been conditioned to this behavior. If only we opened that door; gave time to thought; let the light in. If only we tried to understand our neighbor; sought to be enlightened.
Have you questioned your TRUTH? If not, you will never know TRUTH from LIE. TRUTHS are eventually falsified. Is it better to live a LIE, even if you perceive it's the TRUTH?
Thus, I offer you your enlightenment, your salvation, your freedom.

Thu, 18/09/2008 - 4:58am THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUTH IN ALL THE EARTH
THERE IS NO WAR OF TRUTHS. THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUTH. I AS THE HIGH CAST RAJPUT HINDU ONE DAY I WAS REVEALED WITH THE TRUTH AS MY HEART WAS SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH. YOU NEED TO QUESTION THE IMAGE OF GOD WHICH YOU BELIEVE AND ASK TO REVEAL THE TRUTH. IF YOUR HEART IS TRUE IN SEEKING THE TRUTH GOD WILL HIMSELF MANIFEST TO YOU IN THE WAY YOU WILL UNDERSTAND. THAT IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION. I HAVE FOUND MINE AND NO ONE CAN NOW CHANGE IT OR PROVE IT AS LIE. REMEMBER 5 BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN RELIGION. BUT I HAVE FOUND THE TRUTH AND THAT IS JESUS. NO AMOUNT OF TERROR THREATS OR SITUATION AND WAVER ME FROM MY TRUTH. THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WHO WILL BELIEVE IN JESUS FOR SOME GAIN. THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT ACCEPT THE TRUTH. THAT'S OK. GOD IS GENTELMAN. HE NEVER IMPOSES HIMSELF ON ANY ONE. THAT IS THE REASON YOU HAVE THE FREE CHOICE TO DENY HIM. THAT IS VERY OK WITH HIM. GOD IS NOT WEAK WHEN HE ALLOWED HIMSELF TO BE KILLED ON THE CROSS. THERE IS THE GREAT MYSTERY IN IT. IF YOU WILL KNOW IT YOU WILL BE CHANGED. ONE OF THE SIMPLE FOLLOWER OF SOME OF THE WAYS OF JESUS BECOME THE MAHATMA OF THIS GREAT NATION. THAT IS THE IMPACT OF JUST FEW DOCTRINES OF JESUS IN SHAPING PRESENT GLOBAL ORDER AND DEMOCRACIES. DEMOCRACY, EQUALITY, NON VIOLENCE, ABOLISHING OF SATI AND CHILD MARRIAGE, EVIL OF DOWRY, SLAVERY, SOCIAL EQUALITY, RACIAL EQUALITY, PRINCIPLE OF ACCOMMODATION, EDUCATION FOR ALL, SERVICE TO MANKIND, HUMAN RIGHTS, MONOGAMY, ABOLISHING OF UNTOUCHABILITY, SOCIAL EVILS OF DORMITORIES, EVILS OF CASTEISMS, AND MANY MORE ARE THE INFLUENCES OF THE DOCTRINES OF JESUS CHRIST IN SHAPING THE PRESENT WORLD AND ALSO THE INDIAN SOCIETY, LAW AND JUDICIARY. THAT IS THE POWER OR TRUTH. JESUS SAID YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE. BUT DECEPTION COMES WHEN THE LIE COMES IN THE FROM OF THE COUNTERFEIT TRUTH. IT LOOKS LIKE TRUTH BUT IS NOT. AS THE LOGICIAN THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE THAT IS TRUTH. IT IS UPTO YOU TO DISCERN AND EMBRACE WHAT EVER YOU PERCEIVE.
Thu, 18/09/2008 - 10:35am Well said my brother- additonal info from me
Like I said before, its the waiting period for all the christians in India before God's work.
1.Abraham and Sarah went through this period before giving birth to Isaac.
2. Rachel[ w/o Jacob] went through this period before giving birth to Joseph.
3.Joseph in the prison went through this period before becoming the second next to the Kingdom.
4.Jews went through this period in Egypt before Moses set them free.
5.Daniel in the Lion's den went through this period before God shut Lions mouth
6. Shadrach, Meshak, Obednago went through this period before God set them free from the burning furnace.
Brothers, before God's work, he will put us into so many tests. During this period, he will strengthen us, lead us, guide us and mould us.
The only thing God will expect us from all is the fellow christian brothers to
1. Pray.
2. United.
3. Do not retaliate.
Praise the Lord

Wed, 17/09/2008 - 4:50pm Humanity Vs Religion
My dear fellow brothers, wishes all in the name of our Mighty Jesus.
He is the King of the Kings. Lord of the Lords.
Our brothers have raised a debate on the above topic. Briefly
Humanity:
1. best explained in Bible, ofcourse whole bible is about humanity.
2. All the humanity work across the work is being carried out 85% by Jesus followers. [ Christians]
3. "Love your neighbour as you love yourself." Humanity revolves around this.
We can speak a lot on humanity using the Gospel.
Religion:
1. Dont confuse yourself by saying Christianity is religion. Christianity is not a religion. Christians are the people who believe Jesus as the Son Of God, died on the cross for our sins and resurrected on the 3rd day and hence called Christianity.
2. Religion is the political term, infact am interested to know from where this word came.
3. Unfortunately politicians are taking advantage of it, especially if we see BJP, RSS and etc.
God, I have one wish, I would like to see Advani taking the Sunday School classes. Iam going to pray for this
Thanking You.
Sat, 14/11/2009 - 11:04pm Religion vs Christianity
Dear Sir,
Christianity, is not a religion, well said.
But then what is Chriatianity?
Chriatianity is a living relationship with a Living God.
This God makes us co heirs with Christ, in the heavenly places.
Now about religion,
Religion is a man made psueudo- social division, to suit their selfish needs & lusts, a classification of their fears and man made beliefs.
And over a period of time, they have created further divisions, to suit them more & more, to derive maximum advantage, and further oppress the weaker sections of our very own society.
Thanks.
Bye.

Wed, 17/09/2008 - 2:36pm God's Anger
Hi,
My Name is Albert and i am residing in Bangalore. It was heartening to see such things happenning in our State now. This is an expected one. As read in the bible god gave warnings before such things happen. Last year on November 1 , Bro.Mohan.C.Lazarus had prophecied that there will be tribulations in Karnataka but in midst of that there will be a revival.
Even after being warned churches are not coming together to bend their Knees. Let's not go to the Government, let us bend our knees in front of King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He will take care of the everything. Let us pray that God will not destroy the people who are doing such things, because there is a precious soul in them. Lets all come together and Pray. On September 19th there will be a Prayer being conducted for 12 Hours at Campus Crusade for Christ, Lingarajapuram, Bangalore. So Lets all stand in the Gap. Unless there is Unity god cannot do anything.
I was in Tirupathur in September for a Fasting Prayer (Pray for India) 3 days being conducted by 5 great servants of God (Bro.j.Sam Jebadurai, Bro.Mohan.C.Lazarus,Bro.G.P.S.Robinson, Bro.Ebenezer paul, Bro.Vincent Raj) all these 5 servants of God come together during first week of Feb and Sept to pray for our country. They have completed 20 years (40 sessions) and the lord has done great things. So i feel it's time for Ezra's , Nehemiah's, Daniel's and Esther's to raise up for prayer. People are bent upon sending Messages and Mails but not bent upon prayer.
I feel these type of Fasting prayers need to increase all over the country, so that we see a great harvest.
God Bless You
