Praise GOD with UNDERSTANDING !!

(Psalms 47: 6, 7) Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

When we worship GOD with understanding and wisdom, then GOD is glorified. Not that anyone can increase the glory or decrease the glory of GOD MOST HIGH even a bit, but when anyone worships the LORD with wisdom and understanding, GOD is jubilant. When a person praises and worships GOD after he understands what a mighty GOD he serves, what a caring and protecting GOD he has, what a big plan GOD has for him, that becomes sweet aroma for GOD. 

The LORD is already exalted over everything and HIS glory is always the same. Even if all people on earth shout glory to GOD, they cannot increase the glory of GOD by even a bit. Even if all people on earth shout curse on LORD, they cannot decrease the glory of GOD by even a bit. HE is the same yesterday, today and forever. HE is looking for praises from wisdom filled lips. Amen !

Power of Prosperity Seed - Is Tithing and Lending same ?

Most of the Christians today are living in financial problems. Faith in GOD is the key thing to every problem.  A faith without proof is a faith without root. Faith is what we see them visible those things that are invisible, what we call those which are not there.

Everything has some rules in the creation of GOD. Even GOD showed HIS faith in HIS word by calling everything out of nothing and created earth and everything in that by HIS word.

Hebrews 10: 34-36

³⁴ For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

³⁵ Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.

³⁶ For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

The people here have seen the harvest first, believed in that and sowed in that. They would reap bountifully - is what they trusted.

It requires courage to sow or give to the kingdom of GOD. There is fear in the minds of people to give to GOD which means there is a doubt in the minds of people. But we get rewarded when we give to GOD with guts. When we give with guts, GOD sees the faith in us.

Mathew 6: 20

²⁰ But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

In doing so, we are treasuring up our wealth (storing our treasures), in the kingdom of GOD where there is neither moth nor rust.

Hebrews 11: 1-3

¹ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

² For by it the elders obtained a good report.

³ Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Giving to GOD is a proof of the existence of GOD. GOD can bless us even if we stay in the desert. The blessing is within us, when we connect to GOD in the right way. Every blessing is in the word of GOD.

Luke 17: 21

²¹ Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

We need to have patience after we give to GOD. We need to patiently ‘maintain’ our blessing.

Ecclesiastes 11: 1

¹ Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.

² Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.

Faith will search us when we are in need and we receive what we have waited for.

Ecclesiastes 11: 3-4

³ If the clouds be full of rain, they empty [themselves] upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.

⁴ He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.

People having faith in the world economic system, can neither sow nor reap in the kingdom of GOD. The world’s system cannot generate faith in any person.

Ecclesiastes 11: 5-6

⁵ As thou knowest not what [is] the way of the spirit, [nor] how the bones [do grow] in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.

⁶ In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both [shall be] alike good.

A faith person knows not how the work is executed or done, he only sees the end result.

A person without faith, if still he sows cannot reap.

Proverbs 19: 17

¹⁷ He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

Giving to the poor is like lending to the LORD. A person who lends will get back the amount penny to penny and not more than that. But giving to the LORD is like storing up our treasures which will be given to us abundantly overflowing.

We will see the difference between giving to the LORD and giving to the poor. Both are important but giving to the poor is not same as giving to the LORD, because we honor our LORD, we give thanks to HIM for all that, HE gave us, and all that HE is going to give. It is showing our trust in HIM.

When we do not lend to the poor and needy, it is like closing our eyes - not to see them.

Proverbs 28: 27

²⁷ He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

Giving to the LORD	Giving to the poor
Luke 6: 38 38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.	Proverbs 19: 17 17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
Mathew 19: 29 29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.	Proverbs 28: 27 27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

Proverbs 11: 24

²⁴ There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and [there is] that withholdeth more than is meet, but [it tendeth] to poverty.

When we give more, we gain, in fact we gain much. When we give less than what should be given, we lose, in fact we lose much. We come to loss.

Proverbs is written by none other than Solomon the wisest man on earth, who by the wisdom of GOD given to him by GOD wrote many such hidden truths.

GOD goes by rules and regulations. If GOD still gives to a person who gives less to GOD, satan enters saying to GOD that HE had not kept HIS word, and so not eligible to sit and rule. GOD cannot go against HIS word.

JESUS always said and is saying – Come to me and I will give you rest. We should always follow the style of JESUS. We should always ask how much do you want?

When we give tithing, GOD rebukes the moth that eats away our harvest.

Psalms 41: 1-3

¹ (To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

² The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

³ The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

JESUS is saying that our righteousness should exceed that of those who are still under law.

Mathew 5: 20

²⁰ For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

So a 10% tithing and minimum 2% offerings (or more) would at least exceed that of those under law. So at least 12% should go out from our bags.

Finally we should let GOD be GOD; we should not compromise on anything for GOD or fill the place of GOD for anyone. We should always give what belongs to GOD.

So we should make sure that our first fruit goes to GOD every month in the very beginning (this is the proof that we honor HIM with our first fruits and that we have separated for the LORD before anything else). Say I do, amen.

We should read the word of GOD because JESUS loved us first

We should read the word of GOD because JESUS loved us first, HIS love is trustworthy and not that we love JESUS (because our love is nothing compared to HIS love and not to be trusted).

We should consider ourselves worthy of the grace of our LORD that we are able to read the word of GOD. Bible says, there will be days when we will not be able to find GOD’s word.  The word of grace may not be found in the coming days. We should equip ourselves with the word of GOD (grace) sufficiently to be able to teach our next generation(s) for successful and fearless living.

We are reading the word of GOD (Bible) not because ‘we’ love JESUS. We should not ‘compel ourselves’ to read the word of GOD.  We should first understand the love of GOD to us, which will fill us with the love of JESUS and we feel happy to spend time in the LORD’s presence. A craving to know more about JESUS and HIS creation and mysteries of the Bible, will not only give us knowledge but will fill us with wisdom to act rightly in all situations. Not only this, we shall have the appropriate words to use when we pray, we can claim our promises from GOD and use word of GOD to bind satan (sickness, problem, fear, agony, pain), we can get whatever we ask when rightly asked in the name of JESUS.

But we should at all times, before reading the word of GOD should pray that the HOLY SPIRIT helps us understand the scriptures, equip us with more faith, open our spiritual eyes and ears, in all humbleness to help us lead others to HIS grace. May the good LORD guide us all, Amen!

We are SONS of GOD now!! Amazing but true!!

Because of that 'one' supreme sacrifice by JESUS, GOD showed HIS grace and love to us by making us HIS children.

(Romans 8: 14, 15) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

JESUS is the first to be the SON of GOD as HE is born by the holy SPIRIT.JESUS CHRIST was led by THE SPIRIT, and therefore HE became the firstborn to have become the SON of GOD. HE was born by the HOLY SPIRIT and led by the HOLY SPIRIT.

(Luke 1: 35) And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the SON OF GOD.

(Luke 2: 40) And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

(Colossians 1: 15) Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature!

(Colossians 1: 18) And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he might have the preeminence.

Now that we are made free, no more under law or bondage, let us all try to experience the wonderful fellowship with GOD, to be led by HIS HOLY SPIRIT in everything that we do. JESUS being the first born in the image of GOD and the first born from the dead, because of HIM, and along with HIM, we have all acquired this highest position of becoming SONS of GOD!! HALLELUJAH! Amen!

This is the love of GOD to us even when we were sinners but now made righteous (just) by believing in JESUS CHRIST our HIGH PRIEST!! Who can understand the depth, height and width of the love of GOD to save HIS children from perishing!!

JESUS in Kashmir - Evaluation of Truths - continuation

(Please read the previously published narration to understand and follow) 

In continuation, here are some more points,

(1)    Multitudes of people used to throng when JESUS started HIS preaching. It is recorded in the Bible that JESUS used to heal all who are sick. There were lakhs of people who became HIS followers. If JESUS has hinted or given even one statement that the Jews are trying to kill HIM, there would have been a great uproar among the people and they could have formed great towers of defense for JESUS and HIS disciples. There could have been a war between civilians and the ruling government, between the religious leaders and the common people. This is the reason that the Pharisees and Sadducees waited for the right moment to take JESUS fearing the multitudes. It is a foolish and baseless argument that JESUS went and hid in Kashmir. There is no need to hide; JESUS could have evaded crucifixion if HE wanted. But that was HIS mission – HE need to be crucified at any cost.

(2)    Saint Thomas traveled to India in AD 52. He reached Kerala and preached the gospel of peace there. If at all JESUS was in Kashmir, then why did Saint Thomas not go to Kashmir first to take the blessings of JESUS? If JESUS had a family, then why did HIS disciples not marry and raise a family but instead deemed it worthy to become a martyr for the kingdom of GOD?

(3)    Saint Thomas was killed (murdered) in AD 72. The controversial scroll St Issa scroll was written in 3^rd or 4^th century AD. How can these be considered when there are many other scripts written by the disciples of JESUS HIMSELF?

(4)    Some other Thomas wrote St Issa scroll. It is clear that this Thomas is different from Saint Thomas. This St Issa scroll was written by some other person who neither saw JESUS, nor moved with HIM.

(5)    If JESUS had gone away to India, then why did the disciples choose to die as martyrs? Why did they take the mission of spreading good news and opt to die so tragically? Is it possible for anyone to leave everything – their families, their property, their professions, their many other comforts and go on such deadly mission – preaching JESUS and good news to different people with diverse religions and cultures in other countries where they may encounter many dangers and may lose life also - for the sake of ‘someone’ unless they are influenced by the person in a great way? Unless they saw something which have transformed them greatly that they deemed all the tribulation as benefit (an advantage) to themselves?

(6)    Satan is defeated and trying HIS best to turn away the people from the truth. Satan can turn himself into an angel of light to deceive people (2 Corinthians 11: 13-15). It is written clearly in the Bible. So if at all, people of Kashmir saw someone like Christ, they are totally deceived by the dark false angel. 

            

      So be on guard at all times to whom you are listening and ask them to answer these questions if they can.

Has JESUS travelled to India? – Evaluation of truths – Share this with as many, if you like

There are many stories on JESUS. One such is that the tomb of JESUS is in Kashmir. A jewish boy travelled towards east and his name is Issa. His preachings resembled the preachings of JESUS and moreover claims that the boy was a follower of Buddhism. Some believe that this boy is JESUS. Other beliefs include - JESUS is never crucified and so has never risen (Don’t be shocked now). You may hear more controversial stories like JESUS married, had a family, had children, etc. These baseless stories may make one wonder what is the truth and can be disturbing, so consider some of the facts so that you may be strengthened again in the truth.  References are provided for your understanding; non-Christians please take help of any born again Christian.

(1)    Firstly, if we see the facts before crucifixion of JESUS, the accusers could not prove JESUS to be guilty of anything. No sin was found with JESUS to make HIM worthy of such a death on the cross. This was clear from the fact that even Pilate tried to convince the Jews to withdraw their accusation saying that he did not find anything wrong against JESUS. Other than the accusation they made that JESUS made HIMSELF equal with GOD, there was nothing else on HIM (Mark 14: 55-56), (Mark 14: 62-64), (Mark 15: 14). In fact HE healed many people, gave life to many and promoted peace. This shows that JESUS was following every Jewish tradition and also was always truthful. He told the same thing many times that what HE says is the truth and that ALL POWER OVER EVERYTHING IN HEAVEN AND EARTH is given to HIM by HIS FATHER in heaven (Mathew 28: 18).  He never lied anywhere.

(2)    HE said that even judgment and life and death are given into HIS hands, whoever honors Him will likewise honor the FATHER also in heaven. And whoever believes in HIM has passed from death to life (John 5: 19-24).

(3)    To support these, HE performed many miracles including bringing dead back to life – one being Lazarus after HIS death after 4 days with stench also issuing out of the body. (John 11: 43, 44). This is the divine nature of GOD to love everyone.

(4)    The Bible says that JESUS was strong in SPIRIT, filled with wisdom, and the grace of GOD was upon HIM before JESUS even attained the age of 12. (Luke 2: 40). After the customary feast after 12 years of age of JESUS, Bible says that JESUS was subjected to HIS parents (as children need to show their obedience to their parents) till HE started HIS ministry. (Luke 2: 51). This could be the reason that we do not find anything related to JESUS between 13 and 28 years of age. It was a normal life that JESUS had.

(5)    JESUS from the beginning used to say that HE would be crucified for the sake of the world and would rise again on the third day (Mathew 16: 21), (Luke 9: 22), (John 13: 18, 19). In the same manner HE was crucified and HE rose on the third day. If JESUS could not rise on the third day, then how could HE even raise Lazarus from death?  If JESUS had not lied in anything, why would HE lie in this and why will HE run away from crucifixion? HE can avoid that if HE wanted as all power is in HIS hands (OR) HE could have just uttered a word and all those who are accusing HIM would have died (John 10: 18). HE HIMSELF gave up HIS GHOST into HIS FATHER’S hands on the cross (Luke 23: 44-47). HIS crucifixion was necessary and that was the mission for which JESUS came to earth (John 12: 27-28). HE came on HIS FATHER’S mission. HE did not stop at any point in this mission and successfully completed it.

(6)    There were so many people all around JESUS waiting to see HIS death, taunting JESUS to save HIMSELF if HE could. (Mark 15: 29-32). There were roman soldiers all around. It is highly impossible to trick them by covering up a still alive person as if he is dead and carry HIM away to a secret place.

(7)    JESUS forgave the thief on the cross crucified next to HIM and mentioned how the thief would enter Paradise with HIM the same day (Luke 23: 43). Paradise is a place where only destined people can enter – only after death. This indicates that JESUS also will enter Paradise upon death only.

(8)    After HIS resurrection, HE revealed HIMSELF to many and even ate with HIS disciples (Luke 24: 30, 31), (Luke 24: 36-43). When Thomas did not believe that HE is alive, JESUS asked Thomas to insert HIS finger into HIS hands, HIS wound on HIS side and see. Thomas did and then he believed that it was true (John 20: 24-29).

(9)    Satan which used to accuse man for his sin before GOD thus making man worthy of death and punishment was defeated on the cross as JESUS carried away the sins of the world (Acts 26: 18). The defeated enemy is struggling hard to twist the truth, but has not succeeded completely till date. Many are satan’s plans, but none is complete with evidence.

(10)There are some funny stories that JESUS learnt many (tricks?) here in India, that HE learnt the art of healing, driving out demons, etc. We see that JESUS - as though HE had authority over everything, HE used to command and HIS word used to accomplish everything from healing to stopping the storm to bringing back life into the dead (Luke 8: 23-25). HE even taught with authority (Mathew 7: 28-29). HE exhibited divinity in HIS authority over everything. If all this was from India (or some other place), then we should clearly see this in the way HE performed miracles. We should see the cultural or yogic traces in HIS preaching or healing. But JESUS is JESUS by HIMSELF. HE had HIS own style, HE never even maintained any dress code to distinguish HIMSELF from others, nor did HE ask HIS disciples to follow any. HE was just like any other person around HIM. HE preached prosperity, health, wealth and peace but condemned those who lived to attain these materialistic things. HE had revolutionized the world with HIS preachings of forgiveness and grace, free gift of salvation who believed in HIM, beyond any human imagination. HE just used to command like a King and BY HIS WORD, whatever HE says, it was done.

(11)HE taught to pray, trust and command in HIS name for that to be done. HIS only desire is that one should show love to others just as HE loved us. ‘In JESUS name’ if we ask we receive. (John 14: 14). This does not coincide with any other preachings in the world. (This is absolutely clear). HE also said that HE is going to come back again as a King to judge the world (Mathew 24: 30-31).

(12)Today we see miracles happening when a man of GOD commands sicknesses, problems and even suspend death in the name of JESUS. This is the evidence that JESUS is alive and real. Exceedingly great miracles are a proof of divinity.

(13)JESUS told HIS disciples to go to every nation and preach the kingdom of GOD – for peace and eternal life. The ministry of JESUS after HE departed to THE FATHER in heaven was taken up by HIS disciples and the same have preached to all nations, saved many souls and brought many into the kingdom of GOD. (Mark 16: 15-18). This is continuing. We never heard of any of HIS disciples who preached the kingdom of GOD from anywhere else in the world.

(14)Having done such exceedingly great miracles why would HE stoop down to stop short in HIS mission to marry a mere human being and raise children as claimed by some? JESUS is not a mere human being. HE is GOD come down in human form to fulfill the scripture; the blood of a righteous person can cleanse the world of its sins. Since every person came from Adam and is a sinner already, JESUS is not born biologically to Joseph; JESUS was born by the HOLY SPIRIT to Mary. HE did not carry any human sin in HIM and carried the genes of GOD, and had divinity. JESUS also will marry as per HIS divinity. HE will come as a King and Bridegroom the next time to take HIS bride and judge the world. HIS bride is in preparation. HE is supposed to marry HIS bride after HIS second coming, the bride being the raptured Church – the destined people who have accepted and believed JESUS to be the savior of the world, who have been cleansed pure through the blood of the sacrificial lamb of the world – JESUS CHRIST (Revelation 21: 2).

May GOD bless this to help many realize the facts, Amen!

I invite anyone who can attend Bro. Shyam Kishore’s Sunday service. There will be a great change in your thinking because JESUS HIMSELF will start talking to you. The deep mysteries of the Bible are explained and the message that is imparted will bring a revolutionary change in YOU.

 There are great miracles happening there for evidence, many non-christians attend the service for healings and problems. Even doctors are giving witness. One among them is the recent creative miracle of a woman getting her uterus back after it was operated and removed due to some problem. All the doubts vanish after seeing the impossible made possible. If anyone is interested I can give the address.

Select your partner with discretion BECAUSE MARRIAGE IS HONOURABLE IN ALL

Wisdom protects and delivers us. Wisdom will protect us the whole day.

Marriage is the plan of GOD, it is a family of GOD, it is a foundation to generations, and it is very special to GOD. Marriage is HIS plan to establish and prepare righteous people in HIS kingdom. It is a covenant. A wrong marriage spells doom (generations are lost) whereas a right marriage promotes happiness and peace in abundance, builds up a strong bond WITH GOD for generations and will become a training workshop to GOD’s children.

Choosing a right partner is very important because we live our life with that partner and most important – we are preparing a family for GOD. Then how is it possible to choose a right partner?

Today’s youth are more susceptible for deception. Beauty, wealth, nice and sweet talking and many worldly/ materialistic things are all deceptive and today’s youth are falling for these. They are also falling to Satan’s wild tricks by getting boosted by the movies and worldly counsels from worldly people. Whether they choose Rebekah like Isaac or Delilah like Samson depends entirely on their discretion and their relationship with GOD.

When we pray to GOD to lead us to the right partner from the beginning and also read word of GOD for developing faith within us, and for gaining wisdom, then GOD will surely lead us in the right way. More precisely, we will be in a position to understand HIS guidance. A car in the dark can only move, when there are lights to guide and see in the dark, even though there is a road. When we are having fellowship with GOD, we experience a relationship with HIM, and then we feel the discretion within us to be able to distinguish what is wrong and what is right. We feel experiencing peace within us if the person is approved (by GOD) else we feel a sort of ‘no peace’ within us. If we still suppress this experience within us and proceed like Samson, then we fall into trouble. This indicates we will face a lot of problems, and REQUIRES A LOT OF PRAYER AND SUPPORT TO CONQUER THEM. So then, one should question oneself – am I ready to face all this? Can I fight with perseverance till I conquer? It is like jumping into the midst of a furnace and trying to come out (some will make it but some will not). It is better to take the help of a person filled with the grace of GOD, guided by the HOLY SPIRIT to hear what GOD says to you, if you are not in a position to feel/ hear GOD’s voice. But still one should try to hear HIS voice directly because HE definitely gives a solution when one seeks HIM in prayer. One important thing is - as much as GOD honors marriage, HE hates divorce. HE is a witness in every marriage. (Malachi 2: 14-16). So choose your partner right through prayer and submission to GOD. 

Happy Valentine’s Day to all singles and couples. J

Praise GOD!!

Is your horoscope or bad time or curse of a person troubling you…?

People talk what they believe. Though they talk about GOD and trusting GOD, they still trust worldly things inside their heart. These come out during troubled times. Many at times when they fall into troubles and problems, they talk or express fear relating their problems to bad omens or stars and constellations or their own horoscopes or  bad construction or even a person who spoke badly about them or a curse or bad looks or jealousy talks. Sometimes their own thinking about things going wrong makes them believe all odd kind of stuff.  

Each time they talk about their fears, they belittle the creator; they are limiting the creator’s capability and magnifying the creation and creatures. They fail to realize their awesome GOD and magnificent creator. Satan uses this opportunity to shut their eyes and ears towards realizing their creator’s potential and in course of time they get drawn more towards what they believe.

The word of GOD in Bible says that we reap what we trust and that life and death are present on the tongue (what we speak). We should be careful at such times to turn towards the creator and ask him to deliver us out as HE is the supreme GOD and power. We should ask GOD to empower us with wisdom so that we have the right thinking and hence can pray the right prayer. JESUS having borne all the grief of this world have already empowered and granted us victory over all situations. We need to only pray and ask in JESUS name to remove that problem trusting in GOD and NOT TURNING BACK. NOT TURNING BACK is important because when we pray, sometimes the problem becomes worse or more critical (we should remember this is just satan’s struggle to turn us away from praying GOD and trusting HIM) and as we continue praying showing that we trust JESUS fully, then comes the fullness of joy when we get deliverance from our problem. When our problem becomes worse before the deliverance, we should be happy that the answer to our problem is on the way and that the devil is getting jitters because of our prayers and confidence in GOD. This is a clear indication that GOD has heard our prayer (and of course the devil too).

It is not easy to have such rocketing confidence in GOD just simply like that. But it is easy when we start spending time with JESUS by reading more of HIS word and more of talking with HIM in prayer. HE HIMSELF will make this trusting easier and simpler for us. Hope we got the secret now. Praise GOD for this word, Amen.
