LIVING EPISTLE

It became a fashion or tradition nowadays to share the witness in an assembly or in a church. There is a much difference between being a witness and be a witness where being a witness makes a mammoth impact to society. I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your praises.Heb2:12. I presume that few are sharing the witness for fame and to be recognized among their community and few are sharing the witness truly. I’m not writing here to condemn or judge but bringing the things to light which are hidden for ages though it’s transparent; but few could not distinguish the truth & Evil and the desire of God’s standard life. I’m just sharing of what I learned and experienced from our Majesty who gives wisdom when we ask of HIS name. Here shedding the light of the real Christian values of God’s standard life. Since we live in this earth we have an earthly standard life and in the same way god has a spiritual standard way of living to live in this earth.

When I crossed II Corinthians 3^rd chapter 2^nd verse I could not move further upon meditating the below verse

You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. 

No evidence or assurance needed for a true revival in nations if the above mentioned verse is found in a Christian brothers and sisters. Many would have left this verse casually or would have really valued and could have been in the same eminence of what I had got. When we take a deeper dive on this verse it shows the depth of a Christian life values to be and it fulfills the whole bible in Man’s character by adhering to it. The gentiles do not need a bible at the first instance when someone approaches a Christian or the Christians approach a gentile to take the Gospel to them. If we are the sketched bible laws written in us then everyone who can pass over by can read us and understand the love of Jesus Christ. It takes time to read and understand the bible or they would not easily admit to read the verse if we give them a chance but by our living standard can bring them to Christ. Here Paul portrays beautifully in 3^rd verse; you show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. If you are reading until this line then; do you feel the essence what Paul is trying to make it out. Oh really I marvel at these writings and really longing for such a Christian society in this world.

We see the lord’s answer to Habakkuk in 2^nd chapter as well

Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.  If Christians are a living Epistle ,in other words if we are a BIBLE of how it portrays God’s standard way of living and the God’s people who followed his ways with implicit obedience then it’s very sure that REVIVAL is going to burst out in each individual society and thereby transforming the whole nations.

Praying for the transformation to burst out which is the need of hour!!!!!!

Exhort

I really marvel at the greater submission and commitment lay by our missionaries who sacrificed their lives and didn’t consider their life to be of any value and followed the teaching of Paul (god inspired) and Jesus and thus the result was the foundation of first protestant church.

Early CSI, Lutheran churches are laid with much dedication and sacrifice. But present condition swayed all those dedication and made it corrupt. Early Pentecost church had oneness in spirit, god-fearing and was expecting Jesus coming back, (act2) and todays Pentecost church expecting numbers in church, tithes and offerings. Peter and Paul clearly portrays the last days of church condition, that there will be many false teachers IIpet2. And many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. But the sad part is people still do not know they are being deceived and even they talk about the same and aware of it too but not knowing they themselves are trapped in. These people could not distinguish between the good bad and their eyes are blinded.

 If we walk by spirit we will be able to distinguish the truth and it really takes much courage to follow the narrow way and to hear the voice of lord by casting all arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of god and taking captive of every thought to make it obedient to Christ. IIcor. Most of the people have a vision called television as Leonard says. In this case still not sure how are we able to talk about godly business and interpreting his word. For sure their interpretation goofs up them but they have a license called grace and take it as granted and say will not god speak to us? Will not god hear the sinner’s voice? Will not he answer our prayers? The saddest part is we have a wrong yard stick to measure god’s way. What is your yard stick to measure? Yard stick should be the god of word taking with no compromise. No matter what people or pastors think!

Leonard said: i think one of the serious breakdowns in modern evangelism is this: it has offered us too much for too little. What we do mostly is offer people forgiveness. We need cleansing! There is no true conversion until a man takes up his cross. We don’t actually put people on the cross. Rather we just only take them to cross. Even the servant of god do not have light in them and leading people into dark and the people who follow them says we have a better insight through him and he is preaching awesome and make everyone to think. How sad it is today Christendom love to hear itching sermons and will turn away from truth and aside to myths.

 these people are prejudice in thoughts and not ready to accept the truth/scripture which troubles them a lot. who also would speak contrary to this if it is preached in congregation, or anywhere and will say just pray and do not condemn the preachers for they will be forgiven someday day if they confess and repent, of course that is true on other part, but the primary role here is we need to point out that as Paul says in I Tim 4 NIV sketch like this: if you point these things out to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.

Quotes of Leonard Ravenhill

If you're going to be a true Christian, I'll tel l you one thing amongst others: it'll be a lonely life. It's a narrow way and it becomes narrower and narrower and narrower

A missionary voice

　

It looks like all doors were shut and no open door seems to be visible in our eyes for the planned youth camp which is going to be organized. We are four people engaged actively to stand up for god to turn the souls to god besides that our ministry is SOUL TURN. Half way through the run on this juncture we could visualize that Satan might be feeling happy about the present situation of closed doors; however the interesting part is Satan himself doesn't know that his plans are known to us as GOD is expecting us to step in faith though no doors were opened. Behold he has kept the door open and no one can shut.

He calls the one as if it exists- Roman4:17b- through the eyes of faith we see open doors

Neither by might nor by strength but by my spirit says the lord of host to Zerubbael

I’ve been reminded of the four vessels mightily used by god when i was having a daily devotional study of the books Ezra and Zechariah;

Joshua

Zerubabael

Zachariah

Ezra

and

Nehemiah too later..... So i decided to sketch this letter to my fellow brothers as

We walk by faith not by sight......... let’s put all our strength to accomplish this youth camp and bring many drowned souls back to GOD...

When Arun and myself was in Ranchi mission field as a full time missionary, i remember the magnificent days which we spent for Lord. Our whole life body, mind, spirit everything was spent to lord alone. I used to think at that time, if i would have money in my hand i can conduct youth camps one after the other to transform all the youth to Christ. I used to think as;

If i would have money i can do this

If i would have money i can do this. but not completely on the mind set of money

　

i knew it should be accomplished by faith, but the fact on which am insisting you is to turn back and check our mind set/attitude towards the earnings of our income. Where have we set it to focus on the money? At times we used to think alike worldly people to save money for ourselves (

inner voice says: be wise enough in managing all). Of course when i was a missionary i didn’t had a single point of intention to save money at any circumstances. (though like a passing clouds I think alike of saving money but never done, up-until this time for other cause) Of course Paul writes at one stage to save money but the crucial fact is the driving force behind Paul which made him to do that. Take a moment and think for a while now............

Our consciences will precisely answer the present condition of our state?

　

So where to set our mind on?

Set your mind on things above and not on earth. Col 3:2.

　

"

Faith is risk taking" as i remember Dannie bro always say this and i haven't met a single person alike personally in Tamilnadu who minister to god. Probably some will be there but didn't get a chance to meet.i wonder still why we forget all the times about this true fact though we knew it better, later i discovered it is because we are in the world and we don’t see anyone who is walking in faith to impact and influence us whereas we need to take the step courageously and start influencing others. But for sure there will be many who will scoff us at the way we live because no one knows the way we are taking and understood Jesus. The first scoffing would start from friends, family, relatives & servant of god too. .... If you belonged to the world, it would love your as its own. As it chosen you out of the world that is why the world hates you- jn15:19.

　

Boat should be on the water, but should not be filled with water – Hudson Taylor

Be on guard and protect your heart.

Eventually my agony in Christ has been vented out !!!!

Hopefully we all stepped on faith (Wilson, Arun, Ranjan & jones) and foreseeing the latter rains in youth camp.

youth meeting status. To be continued…

Who needs a shower?

I found a man looks dirty and dreadful, entering in to the hotel while I was waiting for my order to suffice at my table.Suddenly the manager ran over to him and said something about rules and regulations to avoid sitting with the other customers to maintain his business standards……

Then God reminded me to think about the vital part in Christianity.

"The Love with the unclean people’s".Then I felt pity about myself, me too has the same attitude like keeping distance if a beggar trying to get close or even touch us, won’t allow to sit close us while eating or even not allowing in churches to sit inside next to us.

Does Jesus do the same when he found Sinners, enemies, lepers, beggars and poor people’s?

Does he not allow getting close with him?

I know a richest man in this world who can be ever compared to any other, humbled himself as a poor beggar born amidst dirty place mixed up with cow dungs & big mosquitoes. Spent his whole life with sinful and unclean peoples and killed by those peoples who think themselves they are clean and rejected him and not allowed him to get closer with them and sentenced him to death.

Now that person (Jesus Christ) is asking me a question?

Who is the unclean person?

Yes we will say I am clean in my dress, wearing hifi clothes, perfumes, nice bed and under AC…

But our heart smells like a rotten egg….not allowing the poor closer to us and keeping a distance and

Turning the face out

Are we doing the same things what they done to Christ?

After reading this we may foresee as a difficult task to accomplish in our life ,since the present day servants of god failed to set an example in living.

But i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

I urge everyone who read this to put into practice of HIS teaching and show the True Love of God not by words than by deeds.
