Is GOD happy about our Fasting?


We hear about fasting prayers many times. But see what GOD is saying about fasting. When we fast, are we mindful of our language, are we mindful of our doings and are we mindful to do things that are acceptable and sweet to GOD?
During fasting, if we are seeking our own pleasure, or if we are using filthy language to criticize somebody (first of all, it is for GOD to judge and not us, else we will be judged by GOD for all that we judge others), if we are involving in unwanted or useless talk and worldly discussions, if we ignore the poor and needy, if we suppress the remembrance of someone who is in need, if we are cursing someone, if we are oppressing or extracting more labor from our hired laborers or workers, if we are quarreling with someone and exercising ego feelings, if we are spoiling peace or relationship between any persons with our gossips and useless talk,  then there is no meaning in our fasting

We need to spend time ‘for GOD’ and ‘in GOD’ to the most possible extent during fasting. If we are not able to spend time for GOD, at least we should refrain from gossiping and ill talking. We should not turn away our eye from any one seeking help, we should not turn away a beggar, we should forgive others and if we face any one cursing us, we should take that to the LORD in prayer and also ask GOD to forgive them and change their attitude towards us. And then GOD will look at our petition, our prayer will have a sweet smell and GOD hastens HIS answer, else our prayer can give HIM a foul smell.


Isaiah 58: 3 – 5
3`Why have we fasted,' say they, `and Thou seest not? Why have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no note?' Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exploit all your laborers.

   4Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness; ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.

   5Is it such a fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?

GOD does not take pleasure to see HIS children fasting but HE seeks righteousness and true worship from HIS children. He takes pleasure when HIS children do things right and worship in true form and meaning. Then a righteous person’s fasting prayer has more power when it reaches GOD.

When we attend to cries of the poor during fasting, our prayer smells sweet to GOD. When we ask GOD to remove our weaknesses and help us gain control over weakness within us, then our fasting prayers appear righteous before GOD. 

We can discuss on GOD’s word if we have time, we can preach/ talk to someone about GOD’s mercy and HIS manifold works, we can meditate on HIS word and pray sitting in office also (if not possible at least avoiding useless talks). We can honor GOD even more if working employees take permission or leave to spend time with GOD and meditate upon HIS word.

The recent threat to believers is TV right inside their homes distracting their attention towards News, ‘important’ serials, cricket, etc (watching GOD related programs always on TV, without ourselves getting rooted in the Word and prayer will also steal our time from GOD, so first we should spend time privately with GOD by reading word and praying, and then we can increase our knowledge and faith from the preaching in TV and we also should be in a situation to cross-check the preaching in TV whether it is referred from Bible or not). 
Spending more than reasonable time on ‘anything’ else keeping aside GOD will become worship of that particular thing. So we should beware not to fall into satan’s vile devices and avoid worshipping other things unknowingly.

Mathew 22: 37, 38
38 This is the first and great commandment.

See what the LORD is saying about the kind of fasting that HE likes

Isaiah 58: 6 - 11
   6"Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

   7Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house?--when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him, and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

   8Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily; and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rear guard.

   9Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and He shall say, `Here I am.' If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the pointing of the finger and speaking vanity (wickedness),

   10and if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then shall thy light rise in obscurity (your light will dawn in darkness) and thy darkness be as the noonday.

   11And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters fail not. 

Many of us may think because I am in prayer (at home), I have not seen anyone crying for food or anyone in need outside. But is each one of us not aware (?) that there are many people begging or needy outside? We could at least carry the food that we do not eat (or the approximate money equal to cost of the food) and lend it to someone?
Yes, to do GOD’s work, why are we not running after them to exercise our faith works instead of those people running after us? Can we imagine how much we force GOD to bless us with these small deeds?
If we do not fast to GOD’s liking, we will only make our body weak, but our fasting will be devoid of GOD’s notice.
If somebody is wrongly accusing us, we should pray GOD to forgive them and help them understand about us. Then GOD will bless us and if they are worthy they will be blessed, else they will be punished.

Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

And one more important point here is – Is it as easy as it appears to forgive someone?
‘NO’. For this fleshy body it is not possible. We may think that we have forgiven but actually we remember their accusation as often as possible and also whenever we require discussing. How can we call this real forgiveness?  

We can only feel real forgiveness when we earnestly seek it from GOD. So we should ask GOD to help us adorn this ornament of forgiveness. Not once, but many times continuously we should seek this from GOD. We can make out what feelings we hold towards others within us. Then we should remember that GOD is warning us of our ill feelings. Then we should confess this weakness immediately near GOD and seek HIS help in overcoming this. We should forgive others because we are already forgiven

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

GOD understands that our body is sinful and we are already born with sin. HE reconciled to this sinful nature of man through the blood of JESUS shed upon the cross for mankind. If we do not believe that we are already forgiven, it means that we do not trust the blood of Christ (OR) we are in doubt about the power of the blood of Christ that carried away the sins of this world.

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

When we forgive others, our prayers will have faster answers.
May GOD bless this word in saving more souls for HIS eternal kingdom.

Do you know that we sin when we fear?

Where there is ‘Spirit of GOD’ there is ‘Liberty’. We are born by ‘Spirit’ living in ‘Flesh’.

God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [HIM] in spirit and in truth.
Spirit is more real than the natural. This is not understood in this ‘REAL’ world.
Spirit beings are more powerful and more real than any natural being. When spirit being takes control, then natural bodies will not have any dominion.
JESUS when HE cursed the fig tree, HE did not do anything physically to the tree but cursed it in SPIRIT.
Mark 11: 12 – 14
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply (perhaps) he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not [yet].
14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard [it].
Then the next day as they were passing by, Jesus disciples finds the fig tree dried up c-o-m-p-l-e-t-e-l-y.
Mark 11: 20, 21
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
Every problem has a root. We are looking at the problem and not the root. But Jesus removes the problem from the root. The fig tree also got dried up from its root.
(This is also figurative of the fact that every tree which doesn’t bear good fruit will be destroyed. Usually figs sprout along with /or before leaves. Jesus finds fig tree already with leaves, so HE goes near it expecting some fruit but finds none.)
There are some spiritual forces which want to control this Earth. These are the powers of darkness which belong to satan.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
One prominent dangerous demonic spirit is the ‘spirit of fear ‘. The ‘fear factor’ is used by satan to inflict fear in a believer so that HE does not believe GOD or exercise faith. Fear suppresses faith in GOD. Even the Israelites were inflicted with this fear factor about their enemies, because of which they lost faith many times before GOD. The same GOD who led Israel before is now leading us. We have a too powerful GOD fighting for us, so we need not be afraid for anything in this world, be it disease or demonic influence or problem or regarding problem of any person to whom we are emotionally attached. Only we need to exercise faith, building up loads and loads of faith every day.
Deuteronomy 3: 22

We should overcome this fear by prayer, submitting to GOD even in fasting, asking GOD to help us overcome this fear and build up faith in us which can work miracles instead of troubles.
To fear is ‘sin’ because ‘To fear not’ is GOD’s commandment to us. If we do not follow GOD’s commandment, we sin. How many times have we sinned, knowingly or unknowingly..?
Joshua 1: 9
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Is JESUS GOD of America only..?!!?


Is JESUS GOD of America only? JESUS is born in Asia in Bethlehem of Israel. HE belongs to Nazareth in Israel. Israel is in the center of the globe and a very small country. But they are the strongest people on earth financially and technologically. Israel falls in the center of the globe geographically. JESUS has divided the time and because HE is real, the whole world accepted HIS era. HE is born before nearly 2000 years from now. The birth of JESUS is a big event. Wise and learned men traveled towards the west from the east guided by a large star in order to worship the baby who is born. Time is divided as BC (Before CHRIST) and AD (Anno Domini meaning - time from the birth of JESUS or year of our LORD).

If America has a GOD, say for example, that means each country has a different and own God. There should have been many Gods. India alone has 3300 crore Gods. So, lets explore... have many Gods come together and divided the globe saying this is your place or country and this will be mine? Is this possible? Can all Gods peacefully distribute the lands without any problem or without conflict for power, ownership and authority? Or can each GOD create moon, another sun, another stars, etc?  Then we would have  had many days without sun or moon or stars, etc because of the conflicts arising  between  Gods.  To conclude...Someone should have created the whole earth, the sun, the moon and the stars and all the galaxies and the universe. And the same person should have appointed sun to give light by day, the moon to give light by night, etc. Have you pondered on this? First of all, who created the Earth, the sun, the moon, the planets, the galaxies, the Universe? There should be someone or some force who created Earth and other heavenly bodies. Know this supernatural force before it is too late.

If we agree that there should be someone or some force who created this creation, then are we giving the honor and praise that this supreme force is worthy of..?

Think about this. We commonly hear most of the people saying that GOD is 'one' called by different names at different places. What a clever idea (of Satan) to deceive the creation!! Just like one person is called by different persons as 'son', 'father', 'uncle', 'friend', 'brother' owing to the relationship they hold with that same person, GOD is called by different names, is what they say. Here same person is called by different names by different relationships. But take the example of a father. Can he tolerate his son calling someone else as father (or) can a father of a son keep quiet if his son calls him uncle or brother or by any other relationship other than father..? No way !! He cannot give his father-ship to any one else nor allow any one to play the role of a father to his son. Same way is our heavenly father who created us. There is no other relationship between THE CREATOR and HIS creation except a similar relationship of a 'Father' and 'Son'. Father expects respect and reverence from HIS son and corrects the son wherever necessary. The son has to obey his father in all things and respect HIM.   The original creator cannot tolerate HIS creation to honor some one or some thing else instead of HIM. HE wants complete reverence from HIS creation to HIMSELF. When the CREATOR is still alive (Bible says, HE is the living GOD), why are we not worshiping HIM directly? Is it justifiable to worship creatures (or parts of HIS creation) or images made with hands rather than Creator?

If you got the point and if you are really looking forward to know the truth and to know your original creator, then just close your eyes and communicate with the supreme being by saying 'True owner and creator of this universe, supreme GOD, please reveal yourself to me, and let me know the complete truth". Seek for this truth earnestly and you will receive/ you will be guided to the truth. The supreme being cannot be contained in structures or buildings made by human hands. HIS presence is felt by anyone who prays to HIM. HE is manifested in Spirit. Therefore anyone who prays to HIM in Spirit will communicate with HIM directly. HE is present everywhere and omnipotent. HE deserves worship and HE desires worship in spirit and truth. So consider worshiping the true GOD who is your creator. Identify your creator.

JESUS by word commanded, and everything obeyed HIS voice. HE never did magic or unnecessary acts. Diseases, sickness, devils, creation, money, food and even life and death - everything obeyed HIS voice.

1. JESUS proclaimed that HE is the son of MOST HIGH GOD
2. JESUS healed all sick and showed compassion towards all. HE first healed all and preached the kingdom of GOD. Because a sound body will have a sound mind to listen the word of GOD and understand.
3. JESUS was tempted by satan but resisted and rebuked satan to worship the most high GOD as per the scriptures.
4. Demons and evil spirits fled at HIS rebuke and also acknowledged JESUS to be the son of GOD.
5. JESUS raised dead to life. JESUS said that life and death are in HIS hands.
6. JESUS preached with authority. HE taught many mysteries and also the hidden mysteries from the Bible. HE explained references about HIM in the old testament clearly.
7. Even the sea and the storms obeyed voice of JESUS. Creation obeyed JESUS.
8. JESUS did many creative miracles like turning water into grape juice, giving eyes to a totally blind person from birth, etc.
9. JESUS fed thousands of people with a few loaves of bread and few pieces of fish.
10. JESUS clearly said that HE is the way, the truth and the life. No one can enter the kingdom of GOD except through HIM.
11. JESUS declared how HE has to suffer for the sake of the world and how HE will rise again on third day.
12. JESUS rose up on third day as HE declared, after HE was tortured  grievously and nailed to the cross. HIS tomb which is newly made is an empty tomb and does not have any bones after JESUS rose, and is still the same even today. HE rose up along with HIS body, spent some time strengthening HIS disciples after rising and then went up to HIS FATHER. JESUS sent comforter - the HOLY SPIRIT to abide continually with us.
13. JESUS showed forgiveness upon the cross also and asked HIS Father to forgive all those who have sought to kill HIM.
14. JESUS gave power to HIS disciples also to heal and deliver the needy, just like how JESUS healed and showed love, when HE was in the world.
15. Even today JESUS is the same and working miracles through HIS anointed persons to thousands and thousands of depressed people. HE came to call sinners to repentance.
16. JESUS showed grace all through HIS life to every one and proved that love can win over all kind of sinners to transform them into children of righteousness and can break hardened hearts to repentance.
17. JESUS preached to love enemies also and feed them if they are hungry, give them water if they are thirsty. HE asked every one to cooperate with the enemy, if hit on one cheek, to show the other cheek as well; HE showed grace to the adulteress woman and challenged all who gathered to pelt stones at her according to the law, for the person in whom sin is not found to throw a stone at her 'first', for which every one went away so that there was none to accuse her. Then JESUS also sent her away saying "SIN NO MORE" forgiving her.
18. Finally JESUS is the author and finisher. HE is the beginning and the end. HE was there when the worlds are created. If the worlds are to end, HE will make the end. HE is witnessed in old testament in many instances. References of JESUS are found in other religion's sacred books also. JESUS is not GOD of America only, as falsely propagated by some religious fanatics, but HE is the creator - HE is the GOD of the whole world. JESUS is the way, the truth and the life. To follow JESUS is not to follow a religion but to know the truth and enter the eternal kingdom through JESUS. Christianity is the way - JESUS being the only way, it is the responsibility of each christian to proclaim the good news to each and every one AND whether others accept or not is their personal choice. To proclaim is the commandment of JESUS to every one who believes HIM to be the son of GOD as GOD does not like any one to perish.

There are thousands of reasons why you should trust JESUS and accept HIM to be the true GOD and your personal savior but only a few are listed above which are important. What more does any one need to believe JESUS. HIS salvation is too good to believe. Because of some greedy persons among Christians, because of evil ways of some Christians who do not live a life worthy of the LORD, LORD's name is getting unnecessary and bad propaganda, some times blasphemed among heathen, which is a sad thing. But one should read the Bible - The new testament more importantly, to understand this great Man (GOD in human form, come down to save HIS creation with HIS own arm), who is different from every one in this world. Old testament need to be read for reference. Definitely you start feeling something different in you. So do not miss this opportunity!! Take the help of a good believer to guide you in the beginning. May GOD bless you. HIS birth and HIS acts are simple to understand and straight forward. There are no myths, no man created stories, no complexities. Bible and this world carries evidence for all HIS works and how HE rose up on third day after HE was nailed.


Because there is such a strong will and responsibility upon the shoulders of the disciples of JESUS, they traveled all across the world and preached the gospel after JESUS went to HIS HEAVENLY FATHER. They were tortured and killed. They knew that beforehand only that they will be killed but they were ready as they felt it a honor to be made a sacrifice preaching the gospel of the LORD. But after that many souls including those who tortured them all across the globe repented and accepted JESUS as their personal savior and they in turn carried the gospel to many others. There was a huge gathering of saved souls and this is continuing.

JESUS commanded every believer (who believes that JESUS is the son of GOD) to go and proclaim the good news to one and all on the globe. HE is received and accepted by every one who tastes and sees HIS goodness.To preach is our work, to receive or not to receive is the decision of the hearer because every one who does not receive are reserved for judgment and eternal condemnation, as the grace which JESUS showed by giving up  HIMSELF as a living sacrifice for the sins of the world is very expensive.  Those  who have accepted JESUS will not stand in judgment because the cost for their sins is already paid by JESUS on the cross. Forgiveness is a free gift 'freely given' at the cost of GOD's own son JESUS CHRIST'S BLOOD for the sake of the world. So hurry up and accept JESUS as your personal saviour because time is running out and the grace of GOD will end some day.
















Why should we share our faith of Good News?

The Bible says - All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of GOD. No one is able to meet the standards of GOD because GOD judges each and every INTENT of thought and heart of a person at all times. A person need not sin directly by participating in adultery or murder. The Bible says that a person has already committed adultery in heart if one looks at a woman with lust; already committed murder if one curses his brother (any one). Many of us use fowl language or bad word. Every person would have said some thing or the other to some one in their life, would have thought badly or cursed in heart. The most common thing in most of our lives being 'anger'. Unknowingly also we sometimes think wrongly about many people though we know little about them. We easily misunderstand, misinterpret and mis-communicate. We do not leave many things to GOD for judging. We ourselves judge every one. We act for ourselves a very good lawyer (defending our works), but to others we are a very good judge (criticizing and condemning their works). We should leave judgment to GOD because we will also be judged in the same way otherwise. GOD is HOLY and PURE. With HIM there is no injustice or unrighteousness or unholy thing. Therefore every one whom GOD takes into HIS kingdom need to have all HIS characters of holiness, purity and righteousness. Darkness cannot dwell with GOD. Who is going to make sinful man blameless and sin free..? If we say that we are righteous we lie, and also make GOD a liar. If our conscience is condemning us, we are sin conscious.These messages are for those who are sin conscious and not for those who feel they are righteous and think whatever they are doing is right.

We see many people going into the rivers and taking 'holy' dips to attain salvation. Water may cleanse the person from dirt on the body BUT cannot cleanse the dirt in the heart of any person. And after coming out of the river, body will be exposed to dirt again.


Because of the sin of disobedience of the first man 'Adam', Bible says - sin born out of disobedience is already conceived in our bodies as Adam's descendants. Bible says - by birth, we are born sinners. Only the blood of a sinless man who is not born out of normal sexual intercourse (the fruit eaten by disobedience has given the knowledge of good and evil and made Adam and Eve sin conscious), can only cleanse the sins of the whole world. There fore JESUS is born in virgin Mary's womb overshadowed by the Holy Spirit. JESUS is complete man (human) and complete GOD. Because GOD did not like to see HIS creation perish, HE HIMSELF chose to come down and save man from doom. HE chose to sacrifice HIMSELF as a living sacrifice so that HE could teach satan a very good lesson, which has been deceiving mankind. Just as sin entered through 1 man Adam, righteousness is imparted to every one whoever believes JESUS and through 1 man JESUS, sin is removed. GOD created man to rule over the earth. Because of Adam's disobedience, that power went to satan as Adam listened to satan's voice. Till date, Satan is ruling over man by inflicting wounds, sickness, poverty, problems, and all kinds of sins and pervertions.

But the promise of GOD to mankind is whoever trusts JESUS-the beloved son of GOD, GOD will save that person's life from destruction. JESUS came down to carry out HIS FATHER'S mission faithfully and successfully so that mankind would be saved. Because of HIS obedience, JESUS rose the third day as HE promised, conquered satan and returned successfully to HIS FATHER. HOLY SPIRIT is sent to comfort and assist us till JESUS returns as KING. HE dwells with us and within us as SPIRIT but one day all eyes will behold HIM as a KING returned to take avenge of all HIS enemies. JESUS had been compassionate and loving till now, but when HE returns as KING, HE will be seen avenging HIS people and crushing satan under foot. HE will be full of fury.

A person who does evil hates light because the light exposes the person's evil and dark works. A person who follows truth does not hate light but comes to the light so that his works become visible and evident. When a person starts following JESUS, the person will be overcome by the love of JESUS so that the person slowly recedes from sin. Getting away from sin becomes easier now and does not become a burden of self-righteousness. So one needs to repent for all his sins and ask JESUS to lead him and correct him from that moment. Salvation becomes easier through JESUS - HE had already paid for our sins, we are no more sinners. We are made righteous because of HIM taking all the burden of the sin of the world on HIM. If you could believe such a great salvation, you have at last found the right path. Because to give salvation to you and me, JESUS paid a price very expensive, HIS life on cross. They found no fault in JESUS, but still handed over JESUS to be nailed on cross because JESUS said HE is the son of GOD. But now JESUS is risen and with HIS FATHER, continually pleading on behalf of us.

GOD could have used angels to do the job of spreading good news but he didn't. Only redeemed sinners can tell lost sinners about CHRIST. CHRIST came to save sinners in this world. The salvation to mankind by the sacrifice of JESUS is a 'FREE' gift, which is why it is taken so lightly and not regarded. It is the ultimate 'grace' of the LORD to save HIS chosen ones, and the last chance to every one before the fury and wrath of the LORD begins to fall on earth. The wickedness has grown to unlimited boundaries but still the LORD is waiting because HE would like to see that none of us should perish. But one day, the grace will end and this 'FREE' salvation will not be found, even though one seeks hard to find. Before that, every person who tasted the goodness of the LORD, goodness of JESUS should proclaim the gospel of salvation, the good news of salvation to each and every one. This is also the commandment of JESUS to all those who love HIM, trust and believe HIM to be the son of GOD. This also demonstrates our love for GOD, GOD first loved us being rich in mercy through CHRIST. So lets proclaim the good news and before it is too late, we should all pray that 'every one' should be saved. Praise GOD!!
