Common event of my past 11,000 days life

-

I decided to follow Jesus in my 8th grade. God met me in several circumstances of my life.

As I look back and meditate upon the circumstances in which God met me, I see one characteristic that's common to all those circumstances.

Almost in all such circumstances I began praying: "Yes, dear Lord. You know I am a good guy. The reason for my slipping from your holy standards is him, her, or this unique situation you allowed in my life. So, kindly forgive me."

But invariably ended my prayers with: "Yes, dear Lord. I am really ashamed of blaming him, her or this unique situation for my slipping. No, Lord, no one else is to blame, only I. This is the way I am - and I really need help. Can you please help???"

This was the closing note in all those prayers.

Guess what?! Miracles happened.

First of all, grace of God rained. The power of the blood of Christ washed my guilt. Holy Spirit touched my spirit and assured me of my forgiveness and a silent joy filled my heart. An unexplainable peace came into my heart and mind. I received fresh inspiration and motivation to identify goals for the present year and present week and  invested efforts with all my heart and mind trusting God.

Thus, God met me in several circumstances during my past 11,000  days of life.

Not only this, I also began hearing testimonies of the dramatic work of God from others.

Be it Dina's healing of throwing out her thyroid tablets for healing from thyroid disease or Ganapathy Subramanian Uncle's throwing off his poonal sacred thread for healing from asthma which I heard from Uncle yesterday, our God works in ways we cannot always see.

No wonder apostle Paul writes, "1. I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

2. Do not be conformed to this world or family members principles, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by TESTING you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." -- Romans 12:1-2

In fact, our understanding of each other's life and investing deep and long efforts for this understanding are really not required; some are praying earnestly for this.

Rather, our understanding of God's purposes of our own life, for TODAY, for THIS WEEK, is indeed the essence of being available and useful in God's hand on this earth. And the secret to rejoice along with prophet Ishaiah as in his Chapter 66.

Resurrection Power of Christ in Us!

This is a secret testimony known only to Wife & her parents...  till now! I told God that I'll share this testimony when I hear about the availability of resurrection power within us for executing God's will in our earthly life in any sermon from among our local body of Christ.  Today I heard such sermon through Pastor Senthil Krishnan & so here is the testimony I promised to God: :-) Doctors set the timeline for my fissure surgery in 2014.  "You can't continue the external medications any longer. Your case now falls under chronic sickness," they said & concluded, "Just a small surgery. Nothing to worry." It's the same surgery my Mom-i-l underwent last year.  But I refused Doctors' advice & held-on to Christ for healing. Why? How? I don't know for sure.  It just sounded more meaningful to my heart to hold-on to Christ because it was clear to me that my screwed-up health situation was due to my sins & self-indulgenc

Mathew 4 - Meditation by Kevin Samuel Premkumar

29 Apr 2019: Good morning, today's Bible passage is taken from Matthew 4:1-11. 😝Am I talking like a pastor? 😄😄 Today I decided to read a small but significant passage. It is about the temptation of Jesus. In the Bible it says that Jesus was led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit and ate nothing for 40 days and 40 nights. Though this seems a bit ritualistic, Jesus, the son of God was fasting while praying, and so it is fine. Also, our God is not a ritualistic God; neither is his Son. When I read the phrase '40 days and 40 nights', I made reference to Noah and Moses: Noah was in the ark with his family and the animals while it rained for 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS; Moses saw God's glory on Mount Sinai and stayed there for 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS. I don't know whether there is any connection between Noah, Moses and Jesus Christ, but I hope I keep this in mind so that maybe in the future if I ever come across something like this it would be useful informa

How I honor and care for my mummy in her old age?

Shall we first see what bible says about honoring and caring for our parents throughout their lives? Honoring Parents: Exodus 20:12: "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you." Proverbs 23:22: "Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old." Caring for Parents: 1 Timothy 5:4: "But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God." Mark 7:10-13: "For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’ But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘Corban’ (that is, devoted to God)— then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother. Thus you nullify t
