Jesus is in ICU!

Heaven: (Staff Reporter) The roumour that, Jesus is hospitalized is absolutely true. He has been suffering from a terrible illness for the past few years and is now in the ICU as his condition got worse. During this period Jesus was not able to answer the prayers of his children nor could he attend to their various needs in time. Earlier people used to call him an ‘on time God’. Now due to his long stay in the hospital, people have decided to seek the advise of their own hearts rather than consult Jesus for a solution. This situation might go on for some more time and all people are advised not to disturb Jesus with their prayers.

What? You didn’t get this news? How could we? We are busy mending plans to bust a corrupt Bishop. Jesus is not in a situation where He can intervene and solve our burning issues. So we think, Its up to us to protect our church and diocese. Who the hell is Jesus? He is just a contractor, making houses for us in Heaven. He will come down when the houses are ready and take US, the righteous, to heaven. Till that time we are supposed to listen to our heart and fight against the evil forces using the available system of judiciary in our country.  Right?

(സദൃശവാക്യങ്ങള്‍ 3:5-7) പൂര്‍ണ്ണ ഹൃദയത്തോടെ യഹോവയില്‍ ആശ്രയിക്ക; സ്വന്ത വിവേകത്തില്‍ ഊന്നരുത്‌. നിന്റെ എല്ലാ വഴികളിലും അവനെ നിനെച്ചുകൊള്‍ക; അവന്‍ നിന്റെ പാതകളെ നേരെയാക്കും; നിനക്കു തന്നേ നീ ജ്ഞാനിയായ്‌തോന്നരുത്‌; യഹോവയെ ഭയപ്പെട്ടു ദോഷം വിട്ടുമാറുക.

I have heard about a lot of meetings by Laity and Pass to coordinate the future action plan. But I haven’t heard about the Laity or the PASS, arrange a fasting prayer or simply a prayer fellowship to pray for our diocese and to discuss the ongoing problems in the diocese with Jesus. Who is Jesus? He is the bridegroom and we are His bride, the church. Hello… He is more burdened with what is happening in our Diocese than we are because, WE are his bride. But have we ever sought his opinion; asked for directions as to what we should do? Please ask yourselves. Saying a word of prayer before the meeting is different from, calling a meeting to pray. A meeting, where we can weep before our Saviour saying, “Don’t you see my dear Lord, what is happening? What should we do? You have gathered us from all over the diocese. Direct us so that we can bear fruit for you. Teach us ‘Your’ way so that those watching us will see that we are your children. Our heavenly father, who saved the Israelites from slavery, save us from this unrighteous shepherd who do not care for his flock. Please Lord, Please. Give us your heavenly grace and knowledge so that we can fight against the forces of evil and redeem our diocese, our children and be a worthy bride on your second coming. Amen”

Have we ever prayed something like this? And ‘fight’ for a Christian is not violence or convicting the accused. It is about blessing your enemy.

(റോമര്‍ 12:14) നിങ്ങളെ ഉപദ്രവിക്കുന്നവരെ അനുഗ്രഹിപ്പിന്‍; ശപിക്കാതെ അനുഗ്രഹിപ്പിന്‍.

I mentioned in my earlier blog that, the Bishop is anointed by God and that we must not work against him. Also he has been authorized to watch and care for us. (Which I am not sure he is doing). Anyway, I would like to draw your attention to this verse from the Bible.

(റോമര്‍ 13:1-3) ഏതു മനുഷ്യനും ശ്രേഷ്‌ഠാധികാരങ്ങള്‍ക്കു കീഴടങ്ങട്ടെ. ദൈവത്താലല്ലാതെ ഒരധികാരവുമില്ലല്ലോ; ഉള്ള അധികാരങ്ങളോ ദൈവത്താല്‍ നിയമിക്കപ്പെടുന്നു. ആകയാല്‍ അധികാരത്തോടു മറുക്കുന്നവന്‍ ദൈവ വ്യവസ്ഥയോടു മറുക്കുന്നു. മറുക്കുന്നവരോ ശിക്ഷാവിധി പ്രാപിക്കും.

I know there are several subclauses in connection to the above verse. But rather than questioning, shouldn’t we obey what is written in the Bible?

Nobody, is concerned about purifying ourselves before Christ’s second coming. Its more like a story for us or a prophecy which ‘we’ are sure wont happen for another 15 years. And if we see Jesus coming, we will say: “Dear Jesus, please wait for some time. The court verdict about our Bishop has not come yet. Then we’ll come with you to heaven. (If we win, we’ll consider ourselves righteous and will gladly come with you, and if we lose, please use your abundant grace and take us along with you!)” 

Is this what we intend to say? We are concerned about our earthly Bishop and properties rather that our Heavenly Father who is in control of things and our everlasting life with Him. I don’t intend to hurt any. But it is time we dedicate ourselves to Jesus. Stop this fight. Be proud because, you are facing abuse and troubles because you stand for truth. And Jesus will give you, the reward you deserve on his Second coming!

P.S.: I was not sure about posting this one. So I consulted one of my most trusted friends and he advised me to keep quiet rather than get involved in unwanted controversies. So I intend to give heed to his word and would like to inform my readers that this will be my last blog entry regarding the issues in our diocese and I wont be replying to any comments hereafter. I realize that I have more important work to do among the people; in my church and in the society rather than getting involved in this fight where nobody is ready to forgive in Jesus’ name. I know that all of you have more knowledge and experience in this world and about the Bible. So I prefer to stop giving advices and instead act upon God’s word. Usages like ‘unrighteous shepherd’ and all was a part of the situation. I don’t intend to judge anybody and so please forgive me if someone got hurt with my words.

At this point, I would like to thank all my readers who posted their valuable comments thereby making my blog an active platform. Thank you once again. May God almighty intervene and touch our hearts. God bless you all!

It is time for a new beginning. Are you ready?

(Excerpts of an e-mail which I received. As a Christian I believe, it is time for Christ to return and take those who is worthy of a life with Him. You be a Christian or a non-Christian. Please go through the following and evaluate where the world is going. Yes! It is time for a new beginning. ARE YOU READY?

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

As we all can see the end time is already here. When you receive this message, please forward it to everyone you know; it is the most important message for everyone before the Rapture and those left behind. Please do print this message and share it with as many as you can. Anyone who calls themselves a Christian and has no desire to witness to souls, this is the saddest thing to our Lord because He died for our souls, Praise the Lord.

THE MARK OF THE BEAST (666)

“He required everyone-great and small, rich and poor, slave and free – to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name. Wisdom is needed to understanding this. Let the one who has understanding solve the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666” Revelation 13:16-18

666 IS A SYSTEM OF THE ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT

At the present time, computer-assisted biometric identification systems are being developed rapidly and have been readily accepted into our society. Miniature computer chips, using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, have already been embedded within electronic appliances, retail goods, livestock, and human beings. This is not tomorrow’s science fiction – it is happening today.

In many parts of the world, Applied Digital Corporation’s human implanted RFID microchip (VeriChip) is used to help diagnose Alzheimer’s disease, mental illness, Diabetes, heart problems and it also helps to prevent kidnappings. In the near future, this type of biochip will be widely accepted and implanted for personal identification, protection, monitoring, tracking, commerce, and other uses not yet imagined.

Unfortunately, such biochips store personal identification and the information generated from its use will be stored and maintained in a computer database. Your body becomes a tagged asset that is monitored and whose behavior will be tracked. Implanting the microchip in the body alters a person physically, mentally and ultimately – spiritually. The problem that arises from the use of biochip in humans is more than an aesthetic, medical, political, or legal issue.

Satan works in the world and he shapes people and society to achieve his goals. Knowingly or not, anti-christ will force people to follow and obey an agenda that appears to be in the best interest of its people but, in following the pattern of human history and man’s rebellion to God, will bring about pain and suffering until Christ comes again.

“…he (satan’s agent) deceived all the people who belong to this world. He ordered the people of the world to make a great statue of the first beast, who was fatally wounded and then came back to life. He was permitted to give life to this stature so that it could speak. Then the statue commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die.” Revelation 13:14,15

A time is coming when society and lives will be ruled by a self-imposed system where mankind is monitored, analyzed, measured, and evaluated by computers. In those times, anyone who refuses to accept this system will be ‘tortured then killed'.

FORMATION OF A UBIQUITOUS SOCIETY

We are moving towards a ubiquitous society where people from all walks of life can access anything, anywhere and at anytime regardless of time and location. The implementations of RFID technology in retail stores is one example. It is estimated that the majority of retail merchandise will use RFID technology within 1 or 2 years (as of 2005) and will replace bar codes, which have been used for the past 30 years.

What drives such development is the belief that we will live safer, easier, richer and more enjoyable lives by using technology to manage everyday aspects of daily life. In a society that craves automated financial management, instant communication and security, it is not a far stretch for RFID enabled biochips to be implanted into the body, and eventually replacing currency that is easily stolen, lost, or hidden. In the near future:

1.    All people will be required to have a biochip. All economic operation will use this chip thereby replacing today’s unit of monetary exchange.

2.    There will be privacy invasion and freedom will cease to exist.

3.    A charismatic leader who is the anti-christ, will rule the whole world through a system that is interconnected and interdependent.

WE MUST NOT RECEIVE THE ‘MARK’ OF THE BEAST IN OUR BODY

1.    Accepting this mark is the irreversible act of selling your soul to satan. This sin is unforgivable and cannot be reversed by physically removing the mark. (Revelation 14:9-11). Your soul belongs to God. Therefore if you receive this mark, you then will belong to satan.

2.    If you receive this mark, you willfully  placing your faith in man and not in God. You are actively choosing to live without a loving God who desires to spend eternity with you in Heaven. God does not want you choosing hell’s path.

        God knew these things beforehand, and because He loves us and wants us to acknowledge this, it was revealed to us through the writing of the apostle John in Revelation around 100 AD.

        If you are not taken up to heaven and are thereby left behind for the tribulation, you must not receive the mark of the beast even though you will be tortured then killed for not accepting the government’s sanctioned acts of satan. You must remember this at all times because the hope of heaven still remains until the end comes.

HAVE YOU RECEIVED JESUS AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOUR?

 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 2:23).

        Money is not everything. A person cannot come to God by believing in any other gods, ethics, discipline, or by good deeds.

        Only a personal relationship with Jesus Christ makes it possible to stand righteous before a holy God at the end of human history. It was for this reason that Jesus Christ suffered on the cross, shed His blood, died and came back to life. This was done to demonstrate God’s willingness, ability and glory in saving us from sin and death.

         I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6).

        That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved, For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified. And it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved (Romans 10:9-10)

You must believe in Jesus and that He died for your sins. Jesus Love You.

            For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16)

            Realize that you are a sinner and you must pray in faith. You need to receive Jesus as your personal Saviour. There is sure a Heaven and a hell. Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven.

JESUS IS COMING SOON; PREPARE FOR THE RAPTURE

         Jesus who redeemed us through the cross will prepare a place and will come back to be with us. He has promised us (John 14:3)

        The rapture will take place before the Great Tribulation (Revelation 3:10). 

        Jesus said, “you know how to interpret the appearance of the sky but you cannot interpret the signs of the times (Matthew 16:3, Luke 12:56).

ALL BELOVED SAINTS IN JESUS CHRIST

          The rapture is reserved for those saints who will be lifted into the sky upon God’s trumpet call, saints that are to be raptured will be lifted into the sky to meet Jesus in the clouds (1 Thessalonians 4:16,17). The rapture is reserved for those believers who wear spiritual white robes, Their physical body will be transformed into a glorious body and will be God’s delight (Revelation 19:7,8).

              If you remain in lukewarm faith, Jesus will spew you out. So you must not be like this type of believer (Revelation 3:16). Jesus’ first coming was to bring salvation, but He is coming again to meet those who are Ready and Waiting in the clouds at the sound of the trumpets and this is called Rapture. Lord Jesus, will take His children with Him to Heaven for seven years, After the seven years tribulation on earth then He will return again on earth with those who were raptured with Him into Heaven to the New Jerusalem; this will be called His Second Coming.

For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when He comes? Is it not you? (1 Thessalonians 2:19)

           At Jesus’ return, only raptured saints will be presented at the seat of glory (1 Corinthians 15:49-55). Even if we do not know the day and time of His coming, the sons of light are not in darkness there fore that day will not come upon you like a thief (1 Thessalonians 5:4,5). Do not be lukewarm believers nor do sleep but be awake and pray (1 Thessalonians 5:1-4).

            Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard: obey it and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you (Revelation 3:3).

            Those of lukewarm faith, those who are tied to the world, and those who do not know Jesus will be left behind for the Great Tribulation. The Great Tribulation will be the most devastating time in all of human history. Those who are left behind in the Great Tribulation must not receive the biochip (which bears satan’s name) into their body (forehead or right hand: (Revelation 13:16, 20:4) even to the point of death.

Christians who commit suicide will spend eternal life in hell. By refusing this chip, you will be tortured then killed but if you remain faithful, you will be able to enter into Heaven. All saints must realize this truth and wish Jesus to return. 

Be awake in the spirit and know that Jesus Christ’s return is very near. Amen.

MY SINCERE PLEA TO THE LAITY

STOP! This is where, we the laity draw a line. I sincerely seek your attention to what God wants me to say. We are like the people, who stood ready to stone the woman who was caught in the act of committing adultery.  [John 8:3-11]  Aren’t we keen to bring the wrong deeds of the Bishop and some achans caught red-handed, presenting various documents and court orders that we collected? Who authorized us to do so? Are we the ones who anointed the Bishop and Achans and sent them to be our shepherds? Yes, we have to stand for truth. We did it all this time. But do we have the right to judge? Do we have the authority to point our finger at our Bishop and portray him as an evil person? Jesus says, let the one who has no sin point his finger first. Let him throw the stone. Dear Laity, we have almost cornered the unjust and evil Bishop (as we love to proclaim) by standing together for truth. Shall we draw a line here? Stop this?

I just want to bring your attention to [Romans 2:1-5 (Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the 'day of wrath and revelation' of the righteous judgment of God; Who will render to every man according to his deeds.)]      [Luke 6:36,37 (Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned; forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.)]     [Matthew 7:1(Judge not, that ye be not judged)]. Will we escape the judgement of God? If we judge our Bishop and throw him out, our Lord will also judge us in His coming day and do to us what we do to our Bishop in the name of truth and justice. Do we think we are holy people with no sins at all? If so, let us throw the stone. We Christians have no right to judge anybody. (I believe so).

Do you think Rt. Rev Dr. K. P. Kuruvilla took charge as our Bishop by chance? Till yesterday, I did so; but now I know that it was God’s plan. Plan? For what?  A few months back we were just a Binal, or a Jeevanand atten or a Carl Vijayan uncle or a T.J. John sir, who went to church every Sunday and worshiped our god personally. We weren’t in a mood to listen to another person’s problems nor share our problems with others. Now due to Bishop Kuruvilla, the four of us worship and pray together (not standing in a row, but praying with a common goal in mind) for a change.. Got it? Because of our bishop, several new groups have been formed by laymen and a sense of revival has begun. A fellowship has developed among us knowingly or unknowingly. Why don’t we be true Christians, and forgive our Bishop? Forgive all those who played behind the scenes? Mind you, only true followers of Christ can forgive their enemy. Let him do whatever evil his mind devises. But the time for Christ’s second coming is near and we don’t want our tickets to heaven get cancelled at the last minute by throwing stones at our Bishop; by judging him. Do we? Think. Act. Just remember, if at all we are behaving without Christ, we are accumulating His wrath against us on the judgement day. Just forgive our bishop and be good followers of Christ. The ‘stone’ which leaves our hand cannot be brought back. Don’t sin before Jesus.

May the laity be true to its responsibilities towards Jesus and work together, spanning all over our diocese and pray for a revival. Let us pray together to be saved and washed by His blood. In our short life time, let us build a home for ourselves and for our children in heaven rather than demolishing our heavenly abode which is ‘under construction’. For the sake of our children, for the sake of our next generation church, let us forgive our enemies, whomsoever they may be.

(If you have any objections in my thoughts please feel free to contact me. God Bless Us, God bless our Diocese, God bless our Bishop and achans, God bless our Children. Let us all be there when the roll call is made to Heaven. Let us together worship and sing praises to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Amen.)

-Binal Emmanuel Robert Sathyadasan
