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.)

"Above all powers, Above all things..."

Thats MY JESUS! Do YOU know HIM?

DUCKS QUACK, EAGLES SOAR ..........you decide what are you ???

No one can make you serve customers well.....that' s because great service is a choice.
Harvey Mackay, tells a wonderful story about a cab driver that proved this point.

He was waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up, the first thing Harvey noticed was that the taxi was polished to a bright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for Harvey.

He handed my friend a laminated card and said: 'I'm Wally, your driver. While I'm loading your bags in the trunk I'd like you to read my mission statement.'

Taken aback, Harvey read the card.. It said: Wally's Mission Statement: To get my customers to their destination in the quickest, safest and cheapest way possible in a friendly environment. ..

This blew Harvey away. Especially when he noticed that the inside of the cab matched the outside. Spotlessly clean!

As he slid behind the wheel, Wally said, 'Would you like a cup of coffee? I have a thermos of regular and one of decaf.' My friend said jokingly, 'No, I'd prefer a soft drink.' Wally smiled and said, 'No problem. I have a cooler up front with regular and Diet Coke, water and orange juice...' Almost stuttering, Harvey said, 'I'll take a Diet Coke.'

Handing him his drink, Wally said, 'If you'd like something to read, I have The Wall Street Journal, Time, Sports Illustrated and USA Today.'

As they were pulling away, Wally handed my friend another laminated card, 'These are the stations I get and the music they play, if you'd like to listen to the radio.'

And as if that weren't enough, Wally told Harvey that he had the air conditioning on and asked if the temperature was comfortable for him. Then he advised Harvey of the best route to his destination for that time of day. He also let him know that he'd be happy to chat and tell him about some of the sights or, if Harvey preferred, to leave him with his own thoughts.

'Tell me, Wally,' my amazed friend asked the driver, 'have you always served customers like this?'

Wally smiled into the rear view mirror. 'No, not always.. In fact, it's only been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my time complaining like all the rest of the cabbies do. Then I heard the personal growth guru, Wayne Dyer, on the radio one day.

He had just written a book called You'll See It When You Believe It. Dyer said that if you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you'll rarely disappoint yourself. He said, 'Stop complaining! Differentiate yourself from your competition. Don't be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles soar above the crowd.'

'That hit me right between the eyes,' said Wally. 'Dyer was really talking about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the other cabs and their drivers. The cabs were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I did more.'

'I take it that has paid off for you,' Harvey said.

'It sure has,' Wally replied. 'My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the previous year. This year I'll probably quadruple it. You were lucky to get me today. I don't sit at cabstands anymore. My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on my answering machine. If I can't pick them up myself, I get a reliable cabbie friend to do it and I take a piece of the action.'

Wally was phenomenal. He was running a limo service out of a Yellow Cab. I've probably told that story to more than fifty cab drivers over the years, and only two took the idea and ran with it. Whenever I go to their cities, I give them a call. The rest of the drivers quacked like ducks and told me all the reasons they couldn't do any of what I was suggesting..

Wally the Cab Driver made a different choice. He decided to stop quacking like ducks and start soaring like eagles.

How about us?  Smile, and the whole world smiles with you... The ball is in our hands!
A man reaps what he sows. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up... let us do good to all people.

Ducks Quack, Eagles Soar.
Have a nice day, unless you already have other plans.

SORROW looks back, WORRY looks around, and FAITH looks UP...  

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."

 

God Bless You all...
