1. NEW LIFE “All the old things shall pass away and everything shall become new.”(II Corinthians 5:17) This is what happens to a person who enters a new life of salvation. He repents and puts away his old life of sin and leads a new clean life. When the world was created everything in it was new and fresh. The people I created were also pure and fresh, but when they sinned everything became old and withered and died. The first Adam became sinful. He grew old and died. The people in the world also grew old and withered and some died in their sins but some remained faithful till they died. All people like to have new possessions, new clothes, new inventions, new actvities and so on. Some new inventions are also destructive and harmful. The new ideas of man were not always good. In these last days satan is very active and sin is rife in the world.Man tries to do many things with the help of satan. This can be seen in the clothes and the so called culture of the worldly people. The new arts of music and dancing have become vulgar. The new books that are being written are the same. In all spheres of life satan’s works can be seen. The worldly people, specially the younger generation, think they must move with times and fashion and they are ensnared by satan. The Word of God says –all the old things shall pass away and every thing shall become new. (II Corithians 5:17) At the beginning of each year people make new resolutions which they forget after sometime.

The Bible is a very old book, but for the children of God every time they read it it is new to them. They can find new meanings in the same words they have read many times. It speaks to them. It gives them new hope. The first Adam brought death into the world, but I came into the world as the second Adam to give new life and to change a person into a new being. Those who believe in Me receive a new joy in their lives. They sing new songs. They are renewed in their spiritual life every morning as they grow in the spirit. As a preparation for My coming, the people are seeing the new signs that are going on in the world. The Gospel is being preached everywhere and more and more people are exchanging their old lives for the new life of the Holy Spirit. The Word of God says â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at the end of the world, the old world will be destroyed and there will be new heaven and new earth.(Revelation21:1) Those who have been saved and washed in the blood of the Lamb, who have given up their old life of sin for the new life will live with Me in My New kingdom.â&#x20AC;?

2. CITIES AND TOWNS â&#x20AC;&#x153;A city that is set on the hill cannot be hid.(Matthew 5:14) When sin came into the world and the first man and woman were sent out of the garden, they had to find a place to live. They built a shelter for themselves. As the people in the world increased and scattered to different places, they built town and cities. Abraham lived in tents though he was rich enough to build a big city.He had flocks and herds of cattle and sheep.So he travelled from place to place to find pasture for the animals. Lot chose to live in the city of Sodom. The people in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were wicked. So I destroyed them with fire. Egypt was a great and famous city and rich also. The Pharoah of that time used the Israelites as slaves to build his cities. I brought them out of Egypt and promised to give the the cities of the idol-worshippers. If they had been obedient to Me the generation that came out of Egypt would have occupied the cities and towns in the land of Canaan. But because of their disobedience they wandered for forty years and lived in tents and it was the next generation which occupied those cities. I helped them to capture Jericho and other cities and dwell in them. The land of Israel was formed and Jerusalem was its capital city from which the kings ruled. But in spite of all I did for them all were not faithful to Me. From the first king there were other kings who did not worship Me but worshipped the idols. All over the world there are big cities and towns and also small cities and towns. I destroyed some cities because it was not My will that they should be rebuilt. Some cities are buried under the sand. If there were even a few good

people in the city that I destroyed, I save them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like Lot and his family and Rahab â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and destroyed the city. Man with his knowledge has unearthed some of these cities. From the ruins he has discovered important information. I have preserved certain things in the ruined cities for the future generation to discover. That is how the manuscripts of the Bible and relics of those days were discovered to prove that I am the true God. I destroyed the temples of the idol-worshippers in many places. Except in a few remote places, man has built cities and towns everywhere. I wept over the faithlessness of the people in the city of Jerusalem when I was in the world. In these last days also I am seeing the wickedness of the people and their worship of false gods and idols. Satan is very busy in these places. The time is shortly coming when all the cities in the world will be destroyed. The children of God will be protected and saved at that time. As I have said in My Word the children of God, the believers, those who follow Me, those who have been saved by My blood should be like a city that is built on a hill which cannot be hid because it is on the top of the hill.(Matthew5:14) Evryone can see the difference, the holinesss and truth, in the life of a true Christian. His good works and good life can be seen by all, like a city that is set on a hill which cannot be hid.â&#x20AC;?

3. SEEKING “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all His righteousness and all these things shall be addded unto you.(Matthew 6:33) All over the world people are always seeking and searching for better things. Abraham had many flocks of cattle. He moved from place to place seeking better pastures for the animals and he found the land of Canaan which I had promised him. His faithfulness to Me took him in his search to the right place. Lot was also seeking for a better place, without consulting Me. He was attracted by the outward appearance of the city of Sodom and he went to live there. He and his wife were seeking worldly riches and it was the cause of Lot’s wife becoming a pillar of salt. In answer to Abraham’s prayer I saved Lot and his family from the destruction of the city of Sodom. In seeking for worldly pleasures, wealth and riches many people lose their happiness and peace and even their lives and souls. The prodigal son did the same and returned home as a beggar. To get married also people go in search of partners. The marriages that are blessed are of those who seek My guidance, while others look for all the worldly things and outward appearance in the partner, which later on brings them unhappiness. The Word of God says – Seek and ye shall find.(Matthew7:7) The shepherd seeks for the lost sheep and rejoices when he finds it. The woman seeks for the lost coin and she finds it.(Luke 15:4,6,8,9) The man seeks for the pearl of great price and gives his all to buy it.(Matthew13:45,46)

The Kingdom of God is worth more than all the wealth in the world. Those who seek the Kingdom of God shall find it. Those who seek Me shall find the kingdom of God. All those who search like the saints of old and My disciples have found the Kingdom of God and the blessings that go with it. In seeking and searching, the children of God will have to go through many difficulties, trials, opposition from people and satan. But the reward they receive in the Kingdom of God will be worth more than all that they had to undergo. The Word of God says â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Seek ye first the Kingdom of God.(Matthew6:33) Many Christians do not give first place for Me in their lives. They are more bothered about their work to earn money and other aspects of their lives, and they give the last place for the spiritual matters. Heaven and earth will pass away but the Word of God will stand firm till the end.(Matthew 24:35) Nothing is more important than the salvation of souls and those who give first place for Me and My kingdom will receive other blessings also. I have said - -all these things shall be added unto you.(Matthew6:33) Those who love Me , who hear My words, will give first place for Me and obey Me. Those who live for Me, whose whole life is centered around Me, will be led and guided by Me in all aspects of their lives and they will receive many blessings even in this world and also they will be rewarded in My Kingdom.â&#x20AC;?

4. THE WORD OF GOD â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kingdom of heaven is not food and drink, but every word that proceedeth from My mouth.(Romans 14:17) Man shall not live by bread alone; but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.(Matthew4:4) Every word I have uttered is important. The Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword , piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12) It is full of power. It shall go forth out of My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.(Isaiah 55:11) Believe in My Word. I do not utter vain words. The words I say are the words of the Holy Spirit which speaks to you. It is the word that guides you, sustains you and feeds you. You have to live on the word, stand on the word, cling to the word and meditate on the word. You have to understand the deep meaning; catch the word that proceeds from My mouth. They are words that will feed, clothe and supply all your needs because I am the word. The word is Me. You cannot separate one from the other. Those who believe in Me believe in My word. Satan tries to twist the word and present different meanings. He uses the preachers to do this â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those preachers who do not have the Holy Spirit in them. (The false teachers, the false preachers)

Live on the word and the word will sustain you. Trust the word; cling to it. You cannot fall if you cling to it because the word will hold you up. Speak the word. Tell it to others – the Word of God. It is the Gospel; it is the good news; it is the word of salvation; it is the Holy Spirit. Never depare from this word, not even one step from it. It is the word that created the whole world and all that is in it and it is the word that will oneday destroy the world even as it was once destroyed by flood. Pray that you should not be at that time to be destroyed with the world. The Word says – if you believe in Me and My words, you’ll be taken out before the day of destruction comes to the world. You will be in My Kingdom. (ICorinthians 15:51,52) There is power in the word. There is life for you in the word; life for your family; for all your dear ones. Those of you who are hearing My word now , it is your privilege, your blessing. If you read My word and follow it -if you love Me you will do this –you will give out My word to others, to as many as you can. Now is the time to do it, wherever you are. You wanted to know when. You ask when and I say now. If you come to hear My word you have to obey My word. It is not a light thing to hear the voice of the living God. Don’t take it lightly. You need no preparation to do what I want you to do. The time is now, the place is where you are and how to do it will come when I put it in your mouth – the word. When you do it you will know how. Don’t keep on saying why? When? How? Where? I have given you the answer. The time is short. The word has to go out through everyone. Don’t count upon your worthiness. All are unworthy in My sight. No one is worthy; no man or

woman or child is worthy in My sight. I am not counting on your worthiness. You cannot be silent anymore. The most important thong, the most precious thing is the WORD OF GOD and the most crucial time is NOW. You are standing on the threshold and if you stand on the Word it will uphold you or else you’ll fall. Let it go deep into your hearts – these words of mine that come from Me. Let it pierce your hearts like a two edged sword. You make it pierce the hearts of others. You cannot escape from doing it because you are chosen to do it. Everyone who hears this; everyone who reads this – the written Word is committed to do what I have said here. They cannot escape from doing it. You who are reading this, wherever you are, at whatever time you are reading it –I speak to you. You have to do what I have said because I am the WORD.”

5. PEACE “My peace I give unto you.(John 14:27) It is not a worldly peace; it is not a temporary peace; it is not a shallow peace. It is a permanent deep peace of the soul and spirit. It is a peace that passes all understanding.(Philipians 4:7) Those who trust Me, who believe in Me, who love Me and obey Me will find this peace. In the last days the Word of God says that there will be war in the country. There will be no peace in the world. There will be fightings within the countries, within the churches even, and within the homes. There will be hatred everywhere. It will be sown into the hearts of the people by the devil. Wickedness will increase and cause strife. Satan is very active causing divisions everywhere, turning people against each other. Those who were close friends become enemies. Even chldren turn against parents. There is no unity anywhere – no unity in the Government, no unity among the workers. Sometimes even in the ministries there is no unity. When Adam and Eve sinned, their peace was taken away. One son killed another. Peace was disturbed in Abraham’s family, even between his servants, but still Abraham had My peace.There was no peace between Esau and Jacob but Jacob died a peaceful death. Joseph’s brothers were against him but Joseph found peace in Me. Those who study the Word of God carefully will realise how the children of God found peace in their lives in spite of striving within and without. My disciples and Paul found this peace after they received the Holy Spirit, though there were many trials and persecutions in their lives and some of them died a martyr’s death.

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were peaceful in the furnace of fire and Daniel was peaceful in the lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s den. This is the peace that passes understand ing. Even in the most adverse circumstances how did these people find this peace? They found it in My Presence. Their faith in Me gave them this peace because they believed that I was always with them. Even today there are people who can testify of this peace in their lives. Those who are saved and washed in My blood and filled with the Holy Spirit will have this peace. They may be undergoing trials, hardships and persecutions in their homes, in their ministry and in their working places but they will have this peace in their hearts, in their souls and in their spirits. This is the peace that passes understanding that I give to My children even as I promised them.â&#x20AC;?

6. GEMS “One of the most coveted things in the world is precious stones –Gems. Many lives have been lost in the search for gems. King’s Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem was studded with different kinds of precious stones. The thrones and crowns of kings had gems in them. At times of war these articles are stolen away by the victorious army. Gems like rubies and diamonds are dug out of the rocks with great difficulty. They would have been lying there for centuries till people dug them out. The pearl is found in the bottom of the sea, inside the shell of the oyster. People have to dive deep into the sea to search for these pearls and all oystes do not have pearls in them. For the sake of these worldly treasures people suffer and fight with each other and rob and steal and are willing to do anything to get a gem. The Word of God says – Lay up your treasures in heaven where the thief cannot steal them.(Matthew 6:20) Many gems are hidden in the Word of God. Every promise is a gem. Those who want to get the gems from the Word of God have to dig for them and seek them out. Those who know how to find these gems have found a treasure costier than any treasure in the world. Every soul saved is a gem, precious to God, for His kingdom. Those who gather these gems for God’s kingdom will receive a crown in heaven which is studded with beautiful gems. Those who are in troubles and trials can find

gems of peace in God’s Word. Other gems in God’s Word are gems of comfort, faith , hope and the way of salvation. Jesus is the priceless gem. The blood He shed on the cross is priceless. His light will shine brighter than the brightest diamond. When the diamond is taken out of the rock it is not bright. It is dull and rough. It has to undergo different processes till it is polished and gets its lustre. Outwardly a person may not look beautiful or well-dressed, but he will have a pure,true heart -silently like the hidden gem in the rock he will be serving God. By the end of hIs life he would have gathered many gems for God’s kingdom. When he goes to heaven he will shine in white robes with a crown on His head studded with many gems. This is the reward for all the saints of God. The Word of God says –a man sold his all to buy a costly gem,(Matthew13:46) and a woman who lost a silver coin spent her time in searching till she found it.(Luke 15:8) Seeking the lost souls and saving them for God’s kingdom is worth more than all the treasures of the world and this is the treasure God’s children have to seek , and when they do this, they will receive the gem-studded crown of life in heaven.”

7. WOUNDS â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was wounded for our transgression, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of peace was upon Him: and by His stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5) Thus says the Word of God. Those who meditate on these words, who understand its deep meanings and who accept it for themselves, are the true believers of God, the true children of God. From the time the child tries to walk he falls down many times and sometimes he gets hurt. All the time in the world people get wounded. Some get wounded in accidents ; but the promise is given to the children of God that the angels will uphold them when they fall, lest they dash their feet against a stone. (Psalm 91:11,12) Even as satan tempted Me with this verse (Matthew4:5,6) he tempts the believers to do dangerous things without thinking of the consequences, and so they get hurt. Like satan tempted Cain to wound and kill his brother, till today, in the world, people for various reasons are guided by satan to fight and wound others for monetary gain. To rob others they wound them even, as in the parable of the Good Samaritan. Soldiers, for the love of their country, are willing to get wounded and even to die. Good people in trying to save others from harm, sometimes get wounded themselves.These get wounded for good causes. But the soldierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love and the good peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love are diffrerent from My love. Their love is a limited love. I was not wounded only for certain people. Though I was sinless I was

wounded for the transgression of the whole world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for every single person in the world. From the time I was condemned to die, I received wounds from the people I came to save. For the sins of the world which I came to save, I received wounds from the whip and from the sharp thorns of the crown which they put on My head. When I carried that heavy cross and walked, I received bruises from the weight of the cross on My shoulder and I fell many times as I walked on the stones. These bruises are also because of the iniquities and sins of the people. Although I did no wrong and I was guiltless I was chastised with the whip and beaten so that the sinners and the guilty people may be saved and receive peace. When they nailed Me on the cross, I suffered great agony from the wounds in My hands and legs which began to bleed profusely. I was already bleeding from the wounds I received by the whipping and beatings and the bruises. Besides these external wounds I was wounded in My soul. The sins of the people whom I loved broke My heart. It was the people whom I loved who wounded Me. Even after I died, a soldier pierced My body with his spear and the last drops of blood and water flowed out of that wound. I suffered all this and shed My blood to save the people from their sins and I was wounded also for the healing of the people. They are healed by My stripes. Those who repent for their sins and look to Me and believe that I died for them, that I was wounded for their transgressions, bruised for their iniquities and chastised for their peace will be washed in the blood that I shed for them, of all their sins. They will be healed of their diseases by the stripes

I received. I rose on the third day and I am alive for evermore and those who believe in My death and resurrection will live with Me in My kingdom at the end.â&#x20AC;?

8. LIFE “I gave My life for the people and I took it up again and now I live forevermore. No one has ever done this. Some may have given their lives for the sake of a good cause or for the country or for a dear one and some may have lost their lives by the instigation of satan for wrong purposes and some may have taken their own lives. All life in the world was created by Me. When sin came into the world death also came.Trees and plants died. Others grew and died. All living creatures lived and died and others were born, grew and died. Only man was given a soul. Though his body died his soul did not die. The Word of God says – The life of man is like the grass which grew for sometime and then died.(Psalm 103:15,16) This is the body of man that died. But many people in the world forget that they have a soul. As long as they are in the world they only think of living a luxurious life –eating, drinking and enjoying the sinful pleasures of the world. So it was in the days of Noah and so it is in the last days, even worse. No man has the right to take another’s life because it is I who gave the life to man and only I have the right to take any life. Because of the wickedness of the people, on certain occasions, I destroyed their lives by the flood and pestilences. When the Israelites sinned I sent serpents among them to kill them. But when Moses prayed for them, I told him to make a brass serpent and put it on a pole, so that whoever looked at it though bitten by the serpent would live.

(Numbers 21:4-9) The Word of God says â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Like the serpent that was lifted up in the wilderness, even so was the Son of Man lifted up: that whosoever looked upon Him should not die, but live.(John 3:14,15) I gave many laws and commandments to the people to follow so that they may not sin and die in their sins. But since sin came into the world, and satan was always there to tempt them and lead them astray , it was difficult for them to keep all the laws and commandments. So the Father sent me to the world in human form to lay down My life so that whosoever believes in Me should not perish, but have everlasting life in My kingdom.(John 3:16) While in the world I taught the people many things and did many miracles, so that people may believe in Me even after I left the world and save their souls. I chose My disciples to preach the Gospel. I filled them with the Holy Spirit and today also I am doing the same. Every saved child of God has the responsibility to save other souls. I am the God who feeds and clothes the plants, the birds and the animals and how much more than these are the precious lives of the people. That is why I said -do not worry about the body how you will feed and clothe it. If you trust Me I will take care of all that and supply all your needs.(Matthew 6:25-34) The life in the body will die after sometime, but it is the life in the soul which will never die. Give more importance to the soul than to the body . It is for the souls that I gave My life. I am the resurrection and the life and I live forever and those who believe in Me, will be resurrected and live with Me forever in My kingdom.(John 11:25,26)

A man’s life in the world will decide where he will spend eternity. At the end of the world all the souls will be resurrected and judged. Those who believed in My death and resurrection and were saved from their sins while they were living in the world, will live with Me forever in My kingdom. All the wicked who lived and died in their sins, who followed satan, who worshipped other gods and the unbelieving souls will be cast into hell to live forever with the devil and his followers. As long as you live in the world, you have the time –very short time because life of man is short. You may choose where you are going to spend eternity – with Me in My kingdom or with the devil in hell. I am the resurrection and the life.(John 11:25)Those who believe in Me will live with Me forever.”

9. BROTHERS & SISTERS “When I asked Cain where his brother was this is how he answered –Am I my brother’s keeper? He thought he could cheat Me by his answer and hide the murder he had committed of his brother. He was proud and jealous. He had no reverance for Me also. That is why I rejected his offering. He had no love for his brother. He was punished for this.(Genesis4:3-12) From the beginning there has been hatred and jealousy between brothers and sisters of the same family. Ishmael was jealous of his brother Isaac, and so to preserve Isaac’s inheritance I had to separate them.(Genesis21:9-12) There was no love between Esau and Jacob also, for which the parents were also the cause because Isaac was partial to Esau and Rebekah loved Jacob more than Esau. Esau was a worldly man whereas Jacob was more spiritual. That is why I chose Jacob to be the father of the twelve tribes of Israel.(Genesis27:1-10; 28:10-15) Although the first sons of Jacob were not all born of one mother, they were attached to each other and united. They hated Joseph because Jacob loved him more.(Genesis 37:34) Joseph was My chosen one. The brothers were jealous of him and tried to harm him. But I lifted up Joseph. In the end the brothers repented and loved Joseph also. In spite of all the harm his brothers did to him Joseph always loved his brothers.(Gensis39—45)

Moses and Aaron were united and I used them both. There was no love between the sons of David; one reason being they were born of different mothers.( II Samuel3:2-5) Unlke their father David who loved Me – except for Solomon –the others did not care for Me. Although King Saul was David’s enemy, the love between David and Jonathan was more than the love of two brothers. (I Samue1:1:25,26) Even though in the world I had My own brothers and sisters, I said, Who is My brother, or sister, father or mother because I love all those who love Me and do My will, more than the love of a father or mother, brother or sister. (Mark 3:35) In a true church where there are true believers, they will love each other and have fellowship with each other as brothers and sisters. In My sight all are equal. When they come to My kingdom there will be no earthly relationships. They are all My children and I am their Father and their God.”

10. QUESTIONS â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adam where art thou? That was the first questionthat was asked in the Word.(Genesis 3:9) From that time onwards till today I question the people and the people question Me. I knew where Adam was. I knew why he was hiding, but still I asked the question because I wanted the answer to come from his mouth.(Genesis3:8) I knew where Abel was when he was slain by Cain, yet I asked Cain, Where is your brother? He forgot I was the all-knowing God and tried to deceive Me with his answer. (Genesis4:8-10) All over the world questions are being asked. There are doubts and fears which are often the reason for questions. Innocent children in their curiosity ask many questions of their elders. They even ask questions which the elders are unable to answer sometimes. There are different reasons for people to ask questions and different answers are given. Those who have committed a crime or done some small wrong deed, when questioned will try to hide and cover their fault by their answers. The murmuring Israelites harassed Moses by their questions; where is water for us to drink? Where is the good food we ate in Egypt?; and as a result they angered Me and were punished.(Numbers11:1-6) When Jacob asked his sons: Where is Joseph? - they lied to him that he was killed by a wild animal .(Genesis 37:32) After many years this lie was found out and they repented. Joshua asked the Israelites: On whose side are you? Whom

will you serve – the true God or the false Gods?(Joshua24:15) I also ask you today: On whose side are you and whom will you serve, Me or satan? There are only two sides – My side and satan’s side and you must choose one or the other. When people are in great distess and sorrow, often in their pain they cry out – Where is God? Even the believers in their anquish cry out this question. Many in these days have found Me by this question among unbelievers. As the Word of God says, seek for Me with all your heart and you will find Me. But some in their question, where is God, have denied that I am there. What they meant was, there is no god and they found no relief for their sorrows. Those who found Me were blessed. When I was in the world, the Pharisees and the Sadducees tried to catch Me in their trap by their questions. But they were foiled by the answers I gave them. Today also there are preachers and others who twist the Word of God, who ask questions not to study the Word of God,and find the true answers there but to misinterpret the truth. There are questions even from the scriptures to which no man can find the answers because it is not My will that they should do so ; because I have said – My thoughts are not your thoughts and My ways are not your ways. (Isaiah55:8) But at the same time children of God have come to Me with deep faith in prayer with their questions and I have revealed many secrets to them, as I have also said – Call upon Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that the world does not know.(Jeremiah33:3) Is there a question in your heart? Is there a doubt in your heart? Even as I asked Peter, Do you love Me? And when he said ‘yes’ I told him to feed My

lambs and My sheep.(John 21:15-17) If you ask Me the same question â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Do You love me? You will find the answer in the Word of God again and again, that I loved you so much and love you so much; that I loved you with all your sins and gave My life for you. Today I say to you - if you love Me, in answer to My question; if you say yes; even as I told My disciple - show your love by serving Me and by showing My love to the people in the world, and I will be with you and bless you.â&#x20AC;?

11. REPENTANCE â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have sinned against heaven and My Father.(Luke15:21) Thus said the prodigal son when he came to his senses and repented for his sins. When Adam and Eve sinned they tried to hide their sin from Me. Instead of repenting and asking for forgiveness they tried to put the blame on each other. They bore the consequences of their sins when I punished them. Cain also tried to hide his sin. The people of Noahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time did not repent when Noah preached to them. They sinned more and more so that I had to destroy them. The people of Sodom and Gomorah were also unrepentant, wicked people. So I saved Lot and his family and I destroyed them. Because of My promise to Abraham and his generations I chose the Israelites as My people. But they also forgot all I did for them and sinned against Me and worshipped other gods. When I punished them they repented and cried out to Me. I gave them many laws and told them to offer sacrifices whenever they sinned and repented. But I also punished them for their sins. Many of the kings I chose for them died unrepentant for their sins. King David also sinned; but he cried bitterly and repented and he was true to Me after that.So I blessed him. There are many instances in the Word of God where the people sinned. Those who confessed their sins and repented and cried out to Me for forgiveness, I forgave them. The sacrificial blood of bulls and goats could not wash away the sins of the people.(Hebrews 9:12) They sinned and offered sacrifices and again they

sinned. John the Baptist preached the baptism of repentance. Those who repented and were baptised were saved from their sins. By many parables I preached the repentance and confession of sins. Those who did this and believe in Me that I was sent from God were saved. The Pharisees and Sadducees tried to keep the laws and commandments. They were selfrighteous and unrepentant though they broke the laws and sinned. My disciples and others believed in Me and in My words. Because of their human nature they sinned. But they confessed and repented and grew in their faith. After My death and resurrection they understood My purpose of coming to the world and they were filled with the Holy Spirit and preached the Gospel of repentance and salvation. Since Adam sinned all are born in sin. The Word of God says â&#x20AC;&#x201C; All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.(Romans3:23) No one is righteous, no not one. All manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s righteousness is like filthy rags. (Isaiah 64:6) The blood of animals could not save man from sin. So I came to the world as the sacrificial lamb to shed My blood once and for all, to wash and cleanse the people from their sins. Those who try to hide their sins will only fall deeper into sin. Those who confess their sins with true repentance, who cry out to Me to save them from their sins, who believe in the salvation and remission of sins by the blood that I shed on the cross,will be saved. Those who are saved and baptised in the water will also receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit when they ask for it. The will grow in their spiritual life. They

will receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit and I will use them for saving souls. The unrepentant sinners will die in their sins unsaved and will be punished and thrown into hell at the end of the world. But the saved will enter into My kingdom.â&#x20AC;?

12. MARRIAGE â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first marriage took place in the Garden of Eden. I created Adam out of the dust of the ground but I created Eve from the rib bone of Adam so that she became part of him. She was to be a helpmate and companion to him. They did not know any sin. It was a holy marriage in every sense of the word. They were an ideal husband and wife. They loved each other and loved Me also. I also loved them vey much. But satan deceived them because he was jealous of their fellowship with Me. They sinned and deceived Me also. Eve became a snare to her husband to sin. The pure holy love they had for Me and for each other was broken. Ever since then in the world, though marriages are called holy matrimony, often the holiness is not there. Wives deceive husbands and husbands deceive wives. Sarah called Abraham Lord and she obeyed him, but she misguided him bcause of her lack of faith and the result was the birth of Ishmael. Even Abraham forgot the promise I gave him about Isaacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth, but otherwise Abraham was very faithful to Me and I blessed him and Sarah. Out of their love for each other sometimes husbands as well as wives misguide each other into doing wrong things for which they suffer later as a result. Rebekah was the chosen wife for Isaac but they did not have that unity in bringing up their children. As Isaac favoured Esau and Rebekah favoured Jacob, as a resut, Esau was an ungodly fellow and Jacob a deceiver. Both the sons had to pay for this, but Jacob loved Me and I heard his prayers and blessed him.

He was cheated by Laban into marrying Leah whom he did not love. After his marriage to Rachel he neglected Leah. Rachel was the cause of this. She would have separated Jacob from Me also. She was not sincere in her love to Me. So I took her away from being a hinderance to Jacobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faith. I blessed Leah with a peaceful married life. Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for Me was very strong. He loved Me more than he loved any of his wives. King Solomon who was faithful to Me in his younger days, in his old age, heathen wives led him into idol-worship. The Word of God says,Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers.(II Corithians 6:14) Today also christian men and women are tempted into marrying idol-worshipping partners and those of other faiths. As a result they are drawn away by satan and very often there is unhappiness in the married life. The Word of God has many words of advice and laws for husband and wife and for the children also. I blessed the wedding that I attended in Cana where I did the first miracle. There was harmony and peace in Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home and I went there often. From the day of their marriage, where a husband and wife pray together and give Me the first place in their lives and home, will lead a blessed holy married life. Their children will also be blessed. Some of the servants of God like the Apostle Paul have chosen to remain unmarried. Some women also remain virgins to serve Me.Those who remain unmarried and lead sinless lives, who serve Me faithfully till the end will receive a special reward in My kingdom. Those who wish to do this must seek

My will and be strong in their faith. Otherwise they will be tempted by satan. I pity the widows and the fatherless children and if they put their trust in Me I will never leave them nor forsake them. I am the heavenly bridegroom and I am preparing My bride for the marriage day. My bride that I am choosing is the Church which is made up of all the true believers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; My faithful servants from all over the world. This is the bride I am preparing for the wedding at the end of the world. This is a spotless, pure, holy bride composed of such people who will be with Me in My kingdom.â&#x20AC;?

13. EMPTY HANDS A VISION:- A man is knocking at the door of heaven. With one hand he is knocking and with the other he is holding some worldly things behind his back. “You have to come empty-handed. You should leave everything in the world if you want to enter heaven – the very clothes you wore, you have to leave behind. The Word of God says – Naked you came into the world and naked you will leave it.(Job1:21; Eccisiastes5:15) People who have house, lands and riches have to leave everything behind. When a baby is born it enters the world with both its hands closed. As it grows it learns to open its hand and grab at things, and as it grows bigger and bigger it wants more and more things of the world. When he grows into an adult he begins to collect worldly things for himself. The children of God may have material blessings also but they do not covet them. Like Job they are willing to leave the world empty-handed, even as they came into the world empty-handed. But there are Christians in the world today, while they are in the world, they cling to worldly things and at the same time they say, ‘Lord I am your child’. They go the church, they read the Word of God regularly and pray. While they are in the world, they enjoy the pleasures of the world also, like the rich man who planned to build big barns and earn more riches .(Luke 12:16-20)

On the day of Judgement they will call Me, Lord, Lord, I was your child. I prayed and went to church. I read the Word of God. But the reply I will give them that day is, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I know you not.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Although Cain brought his offerings I rejected him . I rejected Esau and chose Jacob. I rejected the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Zachaeus left al l his worldly desires and became My disciple. You may not have riches but the Word of God says, A small dead fly will spoil all the ointment.( Ecclisiastes10:1) A little leaven in the dough will leaven the whole lump of dough.(I Corinthians 5:6) A small sin can come between you and Me. There is a small hurdle which prevents you from entering the kingdom of God. A small wall is enough (a low wall) to block the blessings from entering. You cannot knock at the door with one hand. You must use both hands. When you come naked after you have cast off all your garments of sin, and empty handed of all the worldly things, you can enter into My Kingdom where you will be given the wedding garment, a white robe, a crown for your head and a mansion to live in. Is not all this worth than the filthy worldly things? Always look up at the heavenly things and you will not see or have desire for the worldly things. There are treasures in heaven which you cannot find in the world. Satan will tempt you but it is not difficult to resist him as a child of God. I have given you all the authority, power and strength also to resist the evil temptations. There is no excuse for you. I will not accept lame excuses from any Christian who knows the truth, who reads the Word of God, who goes to church and prays. Be warned or you will lose the blessings for you and the doors of heaven will not open to you, if you knock with one hand and hold on to something in the other hand. It grieves Me to see such Christians - like when I was in the

world the Jews who were My own people whom I came to save, grieved Me with their rejection of Me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with their sins. I wept for them. If you love Me even as I love you, be true to Me. Surrender every part of yourself to Me. Be pure and holy in your life, even as I am a holy God, and only then you can enter into My Kingdom.â&#x20AC;?

14. PEOPLE â&#x20AC;&#x153;According to My word the poor people are having the Gospel preached to them in the last days. In every country the poor receive the messages because in poverty and trouble they look for someone to help them and when no one helps them they turn to Me. Some turn to other gods also. They flock to the Gospel meetings where they hear the Word of God and receive it and they are saved. The rich people also have their troubles. They are in high positions and they feel ashamed to tell their troubles to others. Their religion is only a formal one which gives them no comfort of any kind. They try to hide their sorrows. They long for someone to come and comfort them; to pray for them. There are many preachers now-a days for the masses.Evangelists are also going out into the villages and distant places, into the forests, to the mountainous places and even into deserts. But these rich people sit in their wellfurnished mansions and shed their tears in solitude without knowing what else to do. But they present a different face to the world. Others try to drown their sorrows in worldly pleasures and some contemplate suicide if no comfort comes to them. There are many of these rich people who long for fellowship of reading the Word of God and praying. They have the hunger and thirst for spiritual things, but they do not like to go out in search of this. They want a deeper spiritual experience, but they long for someone, a servant of God to come to their homes to teach them and pray for them. Their formal church going does not help them in this. I have chosen My children to go to such people

also, to give them the Gospel , to pray for them and to comfort them. Another group of people who are not able to go out of their homes to hear the Word of God and for prayer are the old people and the disabled. Some of these people in their younger days have wasted their lives in the worldly plea39 sures and now at the end of their lives when they know that death is near, they want someone to pray for them and tell them about God. There are also unbelievers and people of other religions who are not satisfied with their spiritual lives and who have troubles and trials; they are searching for the true God with great longing. To these people also I send My servants to minister to them and bring them into My fold. I expect those I have chosen for these ministries to obey Me and go to these people according to their call and minister to them. At the same time I need more labourers in My field who will hear My call and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Here I am Lord; send me.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; To all those who will hear My call and are willing to do these ministries, I will open My doors for them and use them. The people to whom they minister will be blessed and they will also be blessed. Open your hearts and minds to My calling.â&#x20AC;?

15. GRIEF, SORROW AND PAIN â&#x20AC;&#x153;I created man so that he may be a source of joy to Me. I did everything to make him happy. All that I had created, the vegetation and the other living creatures I put under his control. I gave him a wife also. But the two people I created instead of being a source of joy to Me, by their disobediance grieved Me and brought grief, sorrow and pain upon themselves and upon all their generations. Because of sin and its punishment, man has to work hard and toil for the daily bread.Physical pain and sicknesses came to the world. The Israel people constantly grieved Me by their disobedience to My words and their idol-worship. I gave them judges and kings and rulers to guide them but some of these people themselves caused Me grief. But there were always some faithful ones in whom I delighted. Throughout the history of the people in the world, there were people who caused Me grief and sorrow and have also brought grief and sorrow and pain on themselves. The people in Noahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time were so wicked that except for Noah and his family I destroyed them in the flood. But in the future generations as there were some good people also, faithful to Me, I did not destroy them. Sickness and accidents cause physical pain to the people. They fight with each other and inflict painful wounds. Sorrow and grief and anguish cause mental pain. Wicked rulers cause such pain on the people. People suffer mental pain in the places where they work and in the homes and even in the churches. Children often bring such pain to their parents by their disobedience. Satan is the cause

of all this anguish , grief and sorrow. To save mankind I came to the world as a man. I came to bear all the sorrows and sins of the world. As a man I frequently suffered sorrow and pain. The Word of God says â&#x20AC;&#x201C; He was a man of sorrows and grief and the iniquity of the whole world was upon Him.(Isaiah 53:3) Yes, I suffered very much in the world. Those Jews rejected Me and tormented Me, though I came to save them also. I wept for them. When Lazarus died also, I was so sorrowful that I wept. At the time of My crucifixion the wounds I received caused Me excruciating physical pain as well as mental anguish. I poured out My sorrow and anguish in the garden of Gethsemane as I prayed to My Father. On the cross I bore the sins and the anguish of the whole world, My heart broke with sorrow and I died. No humanbeing in the world has suffered like I did at that time. When sorrow comes to some people they find it so unbearable that they want to die. But all they had to do at this time is, to look up at the cross and realise that they need not bear their sorrow because I had already borne it for them. Those who believe in Me, that I died for them and rose again, will find comfort and relief from their sorrows and physical sickness and pain, because I shed the healing streams of blood on the cross. I have borne your sorrows and sins and by My stripes you are healed.(I Peter2:24)â&#x20AC;?

16. NAMES “I named the first man Adam but I allowed him to give names of all other living creatures that I had created.(Genesis2:19,20) It is he who named his wife Eve(Genesis 3:20) and they together gave names for their children that were born to them.(Genesis4:1,2) Since the children are given names when they are babies it is the parents’ privilege to name their children. People choose names for their children for different reasons. Some are named after their ancestors. Some people think if they give their child a famous name, the child may grow up to be like that person.Even very poor people like to give grand names of kings and queens for their children. Sometimes the name given to the child becomes unsuitable when the child grows up and does not live up to its name. As Rachel was dying while giving birth to Benjamin, she called him Benoni which means sorrow.(Genesis35:17,18) As Naomi returned to her land she told her people not to call her Naomi but to call her Mara which means bitterness, because she rerurned from Moab after the deaths of her husband and sons. I changed Abram’s name to Abraham and Sarai’s name to Sarah.(Genesis 17:5,15) I changed Jacob’s name to Israel(Genesis 32:28) and the generation of his people were known as Israelites and even today their land is called Israel. After Saul was converted he became Paul.(Acts13:9) The names of places usually have a history behind them and a meaning. But sometimes when the rulers change, the names of the cities and towns are

changed too. Mountains and rivers all have names. When the Tower of Babel was being built, it was built by people who spoke one language. But when I changed their language there was confusion.(Genesis11:1-9) The name of Judas depicts a traitor, even as Daniel means a judge. People call those who are full of doubts as Thomas(John20:25) though they may have some other name. Like this some names have become everyday words because of the character of the person who had that name. Criminals try to hide their identity by changing their names. Some people continue the family name for many geneations, specially those of royal and noble families. When I was in the world My Father gave Me the name Jesus(Matthew1:21) because I was born to be the Saviour of the world. No one in the world can bear this name because I am the only saviour who gave My life to save the people from their sins.(Acts 4:12) The evil forces of darkness also have names(Isaiah14:12) and some of the heathen gods,the idols bear these names. In the Word of God Baal and Molech are the names of devils.(Judges 2:13; Leviticus 18:21) The people worshipped and gave offerings and sacrifices to these idols without knowing they were worshipping devils. But since I came into the world, until today, people are turning away from their idol-worship, to worship Me as the true God. Thoes who believe in Me even as I have said â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In My name, Jesus, they cast out the devils because satan trembles at the very name of Jesus.

There is power in My name and through that power the children of God heal the sick and do many miracles when they pray in My name.(Mark 16:17,18) There is no other name by which such things can happen because it is the name above all names, the name of Jesus.(Philipians 2:9-11)

17. TRUTH “What is truth? The Word of God says – I am the way, the truth and the life.(John 14:6) So I am the truth and those who believe in Me, they believe in truth. The world has interpreted and misinterpreted truth in different ways. The Word of God also says – the devil is a liar and the father of lies.(John 8:44) From the beginning the devil is the opposite of truth. He told the first lie and the biggest lie to Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. I had told them the truth that if they ate the fruit they would die, but he told them that they will not die and it was a lie(Genesis 3:1-5) because he knew that I did not mean the physical death but the spiritual death of their souls. From then onwards, people try to hide the truth by telling lies. Cain was a liar(Genesis4:9) and throughout the Bible we see many liars. At the same time there were many truthful people also. Those who were faithful to Me , were truthful. Noah, Abraham, Moses and so on – they believed in the truth and fought for it also. When people sinned they tried to cover up their sins by telling lies and they commit more sins by trying to cover up the truth. They were punished for their lies. Even believers sometimes lie to cover the truth. Annanias and Sapphira were punished for this.(Acts 5:1-9) Every word in the Word of God is truth. There are many martyrs who have laid down their lives for the sake of the truth. They have been tortured but they have been faithful to suffer rather than deny the truth.

Those who believe in the Word of God and read it regularly, and realise that every word is true and those who follow this truth, will be able to live a victorious life in spite of destruction, persecution and trials. The Word of God – the truth – has stood firm. Those who are truthful even in small matters will be truthful in big matters also. Those who stand for truth always will have Me by their side to help them. Even children learn to tell lies from a small age. The children must be brought up so that they are taught to be truthful always. The Word of God says – Bring up a child in the way he should go and he will never depart from it.(Proverbs 22:6) A truthful child will grow up into a truthful adult. In the world today, the people of other religions expect the Christians always to be truthful. So when a Chritian lies he puts Me to shame. Those who believe Me and in My Word, (and in Me, clean and holy) will be truthful in all spheres and situations in their lives, because I am the Truth also.”

18. SUBMISSION TO GOD “Everyone needs a time for preparation for God’s work – surrender, submission to the will of God; surrender to obey the Lord. Total surrender is needed. People use words like submission and surrender without understanding its true meaning. The Israelite people, did not submit to be guided and led by Me. They rebelled against Moses. Abraham’s servant Eliezer could have become a rich man on his own, but he submitted himself to his master and served him faithfully. Hagar submitted to Sarah’s wrong advice but she did not respect her mistress and when Sarah punished her, she ran away and I sent her back there to submit herself to her mistress.(Genesis 16:1-9) Those who submit themselves to Me must bear their corrections also when they go wrong. A faithful servant is submissive to his master in all circumstances. Servants who do not wish to be submissive will keep changing from one master to another. Jonah would not submit himself to Me to preach to the people of Nineveh. He ran away to Tarshish and disaster followed his disobedience. Those who disobey Me will have to face disasters in their lives. People who have long suffering – who have years of suffering – become resigned to their fate and lose their faith in Me. But if they are patient in their suffering and continue to pray in faith, I will hear their prayers and help them. Those who surrender their will to do My will, will reap the benefits of it.

Some people who are fond of the worldly pleasures cannot surender themselves to Me, whereas others are willing to surrender some parts of their lives and hold back the other parts. Even when called by Me to serve Me full time, some servants of God do not wish to surrender their lucrative jobs, and try to hold on to their secular work and in their spare time serve Me. There are other servants of God who I have not called for full time service, against My wish, without submitting to My will they leave their work and try to do a fulltime ministry and make a living out of it. This is not acceptable to Me either.Those who fully surrender themselves and are willing to commit themselves to My will in prayer and waiting in My presence, will know what is My will for their lives. The disciples I chose when I was in the world gave up their work and followed Me.(Mark 1:16-20) After My death and resurrection without knowing My will for them, they wanted to go back to their work.(John 21:3) I appeared to them and instucted them to tarry in Jerusalem and wait in My presence in prayer to know My will for them.(Luke 24:49; Acts 1:5) When they did this they were filled with the Holy Spirit, and in submission to My will they devoted themselves fully to the Gospel work. Paul had a different calling. He also submitted himself to Me. He preached the Gospel in different places and saved many souls and at the same time supported himself with his tent making work.(Acts 18:1-6) Those who surrender and submit themselves to Me will know what is their calling and My purpose for them. Those who are proud will find it difficult to

be submissive to Me. They will want to go their own way which they think is right. There are believers also who are like this. But when they surrender their pride and humble themselves to Me, they become totally submissive to My will. Without humility there can be no submission. Those who commit their lives into My hands and are submissive to My will, will be guided and led by Me all their lives and they will find true joy and happiness and blessing in their lives.â&#x20AC;?

19. CITIES â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first people lived in a beautiful garden which I had created for them. They ate the fruits of the trees and lived a happy peaceful life. They drank the pure clean waters of the streams. They were contented in every way, till satan tempted them and they fell into sin. When they were driven out of the garden they had to build their own homes with their own hands. From that time people started to build houses and dwell in them and so the towns and cities came up. When I did not like anything that man built I destroyed it like the Tower of Babel. Abraham was a very rich man with large flocks of sheep and cattle. He moved from place to place to find pastures for his animals. So he and his family lived in tents. Lot was pleasure loving and he chose the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorah to live in. Because of the wickedness of the people who lived in those cities I destroyed them; but for Abrahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake I saved Lot and his family. Lotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife did not like to leave the worldly possessions to save her life and against My instruction she turned and looked back with longing for what she left behind. She became a pillar of salt. In the same way to save their souls people do not like to give up their sinful pleasures and worldliness and so they die in sins. During their wanderings the Israel people lived in tents. But I helped them to capture cities like Jericho and live in them. But they began to worship the gods of the people of those cities and they coveted their worldly possessions. I had to punish them for this also.

In the same way when people are poor and suffering they cry out to Me for help and I hear their prayers and give them material blesssings. But when they become rich, they forget Me and what I did for them, and become proud and lead worldly lives. Kings also built cities and palaces. King David was true to Me and I helped him to build the city of Jeruasalem which became the most famous city in the world. King Solomon built the temple of Jerusalem and many other buildings but he was not true to Me at the end of his life and worshipped other Gods. The kings after him also were not true and I allowed Jerusalem to be captured by the heathen kings and the beautiful temple was destroyed. Though it was rebuilt later it was not so beautiful and even as I prophesied, when I was in the world, there is not one stone left upon the other of the temple of Jerusalem. The beautiful temple was desecrated and I allowed it to be destroyed. Those who desecrate their bodies with sin, if they do not repent, their souls will go to hell. The Word of God says â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.(I Corinthians 6:19) So if your body is kept pure and holy and used for the service of God the soul will also be holy, pure and full of light. King Nebuchadnezzar built the great city of Babylon and he took pride in this and I humbled him. Once again Babylon has become a powerful city. People have built other cities also in the desert and they are the chief enemies of Israel who have built their own cities. These incidents are the signs of the prophesies being fulfilled, of the last days. Both these nations are the centre of the end-time prophesies and the eyes

of the world are once again turned towards Jerusalem and Babylon. Those who read the Word of God and watch the events of all the great cities of the world will realise that the end of the world is very near. Today in the cities there are all kinds of huge , very high and wonderful buildings. The city of Pompeii was once like this and because of the sin and wickedness of the people I destroyed it with earthquake. The city was not rebuilt and the ruins can be seen today. The Word of God says, in the last days there will earthquakes.(Matthew24:7) This is happening at the present time. The huge buildings in some cities have been brought down by earthquakes and many lives were lost. Even village people are attracted by the pomp and glitter of the cities. They leave the fresh air and peaceful lives of the village and come and live in the slums in the cities in filth and poverty. Because of the sin in the cities and satanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s influence I sent My disciples like Paul to preach the Gospel in the cities and establish churches. Today also I am using many servants of God in the cities. Meetings are held to which huge crowds of people come and the Holy Spirit is manifested and many souls are saved and miracles take place. Even as satan is working fast as predicted in the Word of God, the Gospel is also being preached everywhere â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the big cities and towns, in the villages , in remote places and even in houses. Those who are serving Me faithfully in this work will receive their reward in My kingdom.

Let the people be warned that all the happenings, specially in the big cities are sure signs that the end is near and let them turn to the true God and repent for their sins and be saved; and even as I said - go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel(Mark 16:15); and know I will be with you always even unto the end of the world(Matthew28:20); and you will receive your reward in My kingdom.â&#x20AC;?

20. THE WAY â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a way that may seem right to man, but it may lead him to destruction.( Proverbs 14:12) Listen to the voice that says, this is the way, walk init, and turn not to the right or left.(Isaiah30:21) There are many ways that lead to different cities, towns or villages. Some of the ways,specially those to the big cities, are broad and well paved and there are all kinds of modern conveyances to go there. The roads to the small villages are usually mud tracks. People in the villages often walk long distances to reach some place. There are paths going through forests also and up the mountains. By whatever way people may travel there is always some danger also. Vehicles meet with accidents. The mud roads become hot and there are stones in them which hurt the feet. The way through the forests have thorns and the danger of wild animals. The way up the mountain is steep and dangerous. Yet in spite of all this people keep on travelling in one way or the other. To make their travelling easier they equip themselves with certain implements. There is also the danger of robbers and thieve, like the traveller from Jerusalem to Jericho who was wounded and robbed. When people travel from one place to another they have different experiences, some pleasant and some unpleasant. It all depends on the way in which they are going. Life in the world is a long journey. For the children of God it is a pilgrimage. There is only one way into the kingdom of God and that is the way of the

Cross.Those who try to enter by any other way is a thief and a robber because there is only one way and one door for the sheepfold and I am that way. The unbelievers and the idol-worshippers try to enter heaven by inflicting suffering upon themselves and by devious other ways. Their gods cannot help them.The way of the cross is also not an easy way. Those who follow this way to reach the kingdom of heaven, will also have to undergo sufferings not inflicted by themselves but from the satanic forces. I suffered on the cross and those who follow Me, who walk in My way, will have to endure suffering; but they will also have the joy and blessing of knowing they are going the right way. The Word of God is a lamp to guide the believer on his way to heaven. Those who do not turn to the right or to the left, when satan tries to draw them out of the way by his tricks, will reach heaven at the end of their lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey. Straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to eternal life, but broad is the way that leads to destruction.(Matthew 7:13,14) Those who want to enjoy the pleasures of life will walk on the broad way and will have to suffer in the next life. Those who follow Me and walk in My way will live with Me in My Kingdom for I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.â&#x20AC;?(John14:6)

21. FATHER, SON & THE HOLY SPIRIT “The prayer I taught My disciples says, Our Father who art in heaven.(Matthew 6:9) It was addressed to the heavenly Father in heaven. Except for Adam and Eve everyone in the world has an earthly father. There are many different fathers in the world. Some are good, kind and loving to their children; who care for their children; who work hard to provide the needs of the children. He shows them his love in different ways and at the same time he disciplines them. This is an ideal earthly father. There are also drunkard fathers who wastes his earnings in drinks. As a result there is no money for the neccessities of life and he ill-treats the children because he has no love for them. There are also selfish, cruel, sadistic fathers who find pleasure in ill treating the children. The children of such fathers sometimes grow up to be the same. Some children who have loving fathers also become spoilt, pampered and selfish adults. Even though a child may be a wayward, the loving father’s love never changes, like in the prodigal son. But no earthly father’s love can be compared to the love of the heavenly Father. It is a love without measure; never changes. The Word of God says – ‘God so loved the world, that he sent His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.(John 3:16) Out of His love for mankind, this is the provision to save sinful man from eternal death and punishment. According to My Father’s

will I came to the world to give My life for mankind and save him from his sins. People cannot understand My relationship with the Father when I say, We are one; as indeed we are. When My disciples wanted Me to reveal the Father to them I told them that those who have seen Me have seen the Father because We are one.(John 14:9-11; 10:30) I came to the world as a man to show the love of the Father to the people and to die for them to save them from their sins. When I was in the world, before I left the world I told all those who believed in Me that after My resurrection I will go back to My Father in heaven and send the Holy Spirit in My place to be with them. The Holy Spirit came and filled them, led them, guided them and it made them to do miracles. Even today the work of the Holy Spirit is th same. It is being manifested in the world through the servants of God and all those who are filled with the Holy Spirit. The Word of God says â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if the earthly father knows how to give good gifts to his son how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask. (Luke 11:13) The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are one and have the same love for mankind. Those who believe in this love of the Father, will be washed in the blood of the Son, will be filled with the Holy Spirit and find a place in the Kingdom of God.â&#x20AC;?

22. WISDOM â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seek wisdom. I gave Solomon wisdom because he asked for wisdom. Education and knowledge can be acquired. People go to schools and colleges to acquire worldly knowledge. They study from the young age and acquire knowledge on different subjects. It is useful to them to earn their living. The educated live in a different status of life from the uneducated. The higher they are educated, the more they are able to earn and live more comfortably and more luxuriously. They have a high position of which they are proud. They look down upon the uneducated, even as the rich look down upon the poor. The Word of God says, in the last days the low people will be in high positions and today in the world there are people who are ruling the country who do not have much education. These people come to this position not by knowledge and education but by their worldly wisdom, which they use in different ways, even crooked ways, to come up to a high position. Satan also helps some people in this so that he can make use of them to trouble the children of God. But there is a wisdom that comes from Me. It is a gift I give those I love so that they will be able to overcome the viles of satan and they will not be cheated by the worldly people. My children who acquire education (it should be a blessing to them)should also have wisdom. I have said â&#x20AC;&#x201C; be ye wise as serpents but harmless as doves.(Matthew 10:16) Even though the people who rule the country or the people under whom

you work may not be a believer, you have to be in subjection to them. You have to subject yourself to those in authority. Ohterwise you cannot work with peace. You cannot break the laws of the country and you cannot break the laws of God. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.(Psalm 111:10) To live in peace you need wisdom how to act under all situations. If the authority requests you to do unlawful things, unlawful to the government or unlawful to your God, then use your wisdom and get out of that situation at any cost; even if you have to lose your position. Some of My disciples were uneducated. But I guided them when I was in the world with them, to do the right things. When Peter cut off the ear of Machus it was an unlawful deed and I corrected him there. I paid My taxes. Those Pharisees tried to trap Me in that also. In wisdom I answered them to render to Ceasar what is Ceasar’s and to God what is God’s. When the disciples received the Holy Spirit the uneducated as well as the educated became wise. They received their wisdom from above. Pray that in all matters, worldly and spiritual, you must know how to act wisely. Like King Solomon ask for wisdom from Me and you will receive it.”

23. METALS â&#x20AC;&#x153;The metals are hidden in the bowelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of the earth, even from the day of creation, so that man may dig them out and make use of them. He has to spend a lot of his energy and his strength, with the sweat of his brow, to dig out these metals. From the cheapest metals to the costliest they can be used. Iron is a hard metal which is put to many uses to make different kinds of instruments and weapons. In spite of its hardness there is a weakness in it also. Exposed to moisture it becomes rusty and under great pressure it will crack and break also. There are some people in this world like this iron. They may be physically strong and they may think they are spiritually strong also. But when they are put to the test they fail. As long as everything goes well with them they are brave and courageous but when trials and temptations come to them they become rusty like the iron in their spiritual life. When the iron is reinforced with some other metal, it becomes stronger. Like this if these people also, if they allow themselves to be reinforced by the Holy Spirit, they become strong in their spiritual life. Brass is another useful metal. It can be moulded and shaped in different ways. Lot of brass was used in the temple of Jerusalem. Even today brass pillars and decorations can be seen usually in palaces and temples. But the brass has to be polished to keep its lustre. Otherwise it becomes dull and dirty also. People who do not pray frequently are like the brass. When they are first saved it is a new experience for them and they shine like new brass in their prayer life. They

attend the meetings here and there. But after a time they become careless and begin to backslide like the dull brass and the dirt that collects on them. These people allow the worldly pleasures to soil their spiritual life. The brass has to be frequently polished to look bright. So, only frequent prayer can keep them away from the worldliness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the dirt of the world. Silver is a precious metal. It is not found in the same abundance like iron and brass. Costly jewels and cups and works of art are made out of silver. Silver jewels are worn and people decorate their houses with silver articles. For a long time silver maintains its shine. But even this precious metal becomes tarnished and requires polishing. But its value does not go down even if it is tarnished. These are the believers who are not very strong in their faith. They become depressed when the trials come to them but they do not lose their faith completely. They keep the fellowship of the other believers, and like the polishing done on the tarnished silver, the servants of God pray for them and lift them up from their depression, so that their faith is once again strengthened to overcome their trials. The most soft metal in the world is Gold. It is the costliest. People are ready to steal and murder and commit other crimes for the sake of this gold. It is a very coveted metal. It is purely ornamental. But it is a metal that has to go throught fire to be melted and beaten and moulded into different shapes. It may lie in the dirtiest place or gutter even, but it wll never lose its lustre or its value.

The true believers , the children of God are like this gold.There may be some dross in the gold which has to be burnt out so that it becomes purer. That is why gold is refined in the fire. When the storm blows, it will blow away all the things. It will clear the dirt and leave the place clean. So in their lives also trials will do a cleaning and refining, which will purify and sanctify their lives to be used by Me. That is the purpose of the cleaning. They may pass through the furnace of affliction. They may be beaten about by the storms of life but their faith will grow stronger. Their prayer life, their ministry will be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, in spite of the darkness and the wickedness in the world around them. They will shine like gold which never loses its lustre. These are people I am able to use in the ministry and who are successful in doing the ministry, in spite of opposition and trials. When trials, troubles,temptations and storms come into your life , do not despair.Stregthen your faith and you will come out like the shining gold which never loses its lustre under any cicumstance.â&#x20AC;?

24. TIME â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am the beginning and I am the end. (Revelations1:8) I am from everlasting to everlasting because I have no beginning and no end. I am that I am. (Exodus 3:14) It is difficult for man to understand this. To Me a thousand years is like oneday and oneday is like a thousand years.(II Peters3:8) Man is bound by time. He counts time from generations, centuries, decades and years, hours, minutes and seconds. Beyond this man cannot understand an endless time. I created also the sun, moon and stars by which he can count the time and season. All life is confined to time. He creates time for work, recreation and other activities. Man is a very busy creature. At the same time he is lazy also. The other creations are not bound by time. They do not make their own time. They live by instinct which I have given them. But man uses his time as he likes. To earn his living he spends a certain amount of time and also for eating and sleeping. The rest of the time is his own to use as he likes. There are people whose main aim is to spend most of the time in earning money and wealth and they go to the grave leaving everything behind. Their souls are also lost. These are people who do not believe that there is another life after death. Like that there are others who spend their lives without gaining anything.

Some people are too lazy even to work. They waste their lives in the world in eating and sleeping and whiling away the time. All these people will have to give an account for their lives in the world. Even Christians today are so busy. They have no time to pray, to read the Word of God and to do the ministry. For some people even the ministry is just a means of passing the time. They are not sincere. It is a livelihood for them. The true children of God will know how to spend their time usefully, profitably and live a life in the world, in preparation for eternity in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kingdom. Those who waste their lives in the world, who spend their time only in saving wealth and in the pleasures of the world, will spend their eternity with the devil and his followers in hell. Those who read the Word of God and spend as much time as they can in prayer and ministry, will spend eternity in My Kingdom. There are many in the world, who do not believe in eternal life and only after death they will realise the truth of it; but it is too late then. Those who read the Word of God faithfully will believe in the eternal life. Their aim will be to live that life in My Kingdom.â&#x20AC;?

25. FRIENDSHIP â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.(Proverbs 18:24) There are many kinds of relationship among mankind. So that man may not live alone I gave him a wife. Except at the time of mating some animals live alone but others live in herds and flocks. Birds live in flights and droves. Man was not created to live alone. As the people increased in the world there were different relationships among them, out of which friendship is one of the most beautiful relationships. David and Jonathan had a bond between them, and a love for each other which nothing could break. The Bible describes this friendship in detail. They are an example of true friends. There are true friends and false friends also. Many young people are deceived by false friends. These people make friends with someone for their own gain. For a time they pretend to be very friendly. But in time of calamity or when they cannot gain their own ends they are ready to deceive their friend; like Judas was a false friend who betrayed Me. Many lives have been shattered by false friends. Rich people and those in power or high position have such friends who fawn upon them to get some favour. When such a person loses his wealth and power, his friends desert him and they even turn against him and deride him. Such was the case of Job. There are bad friends and good friends. Young people are led into addiction and crime by keeping company with bad friends. They suffer for this like the prodigal son.

God has given the wisdom for man to choose his friends. Those who have good friends will live a happy life and in time of adversity and trouble these friends will help them. Good friends will share each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joys and sorrows. The most beautiful friendship is the godly fellowship among the true believers. They pray for each other. A true friend will be willing even to lay down his life for his friends. I am the truest friend in the world for mankind because I laid down My life for the people to save them from their sins. No friend has done this or can do this because as the Son of God, I came to the world to give My life for the people. The Word of God says of Me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.(John 15:13) I am the true friend, who carries not only the sins of the people but also their sorrows, their burdens and troubles. I am the friend who wipes their tears in their grief; who carries their burdens and helps them in their trials and temptations. I am also the friend who shares their joys and who gives them the joy, peace and happiness by My love. Even unto death I am the true friend of all those who believe in Me. Those who have Me as their friend, will know the blessings of My friendship because I am the friend who will never leave them or forsake them or fail them even unto the end of the world.â&#x20AC;?

26. ROOMS “Abraham was a wealthy man, but he and his family lived in tents. He had large herds of sheep and cattle. So he did not build a permanent home in one place. He moved from place to place to find pasture for the animals. So he put up tents for his family, and the many servants he had, as temporary shelters, in places where there was food for the animals. He was a wealthy man and his tents had more than one room.The floors were covered with costly carpets and he had plenty of gold and silver articles; silk hangings covered the walls and roof of the tent.But whenever Abraham wanted to meditate and pray he came out into the open fields alone. It was there I used to meet him and talk to him. Isaac who inherited his father’s properties also used to come to the field to meditate and communicate with Me.People learnt to build houses in cities and towns even before Abraham’s time. The rich built houses with many rooms. In Noah’s time also the people lived in houses where they ate and drank and committed all kinds of sins. They built groves for the idols that they worshipped. They also had rooms in their houses where they kept the idols. The world was filled with wickedness except for Noah and his family. When the whole world was covered with flood waters, Noah and his family worshipped Me in one of the rooms in he ark where they lived.

When the Israelites wandered about, they lived in tents. The Ark of the Lord was also kept in a tent. The Tabernacle had three rooms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the courtyard, the holy place and the most holy place. The rooms were divided by curtains. Except the priest no one could enter the most holy place where the Ark of God was kept. According to the pattern of the Tabernacle, King Solomon built the Temple of Jerusalem.It was a beautiful building. He built other rooms also. The Courtyards of the Temple were misused by the people and defiled. I once drove out those people. Like in these days, for some of the people who come to worship in the temple, it was only a ritual, once or twice a year. The most holy place could not be entered by anyone except the priest, who prayed for the people there. On the day I died on the cross, the veil of the temple was torn into two so that anyone, even the worst sinner, could approach Me directly, though the temple was destroyed later. When the Jews built their houses, they had a room facing the temple of Jerusalem, and it was here that they used to pray, no matter where they lived. Kings build palaces with hundreds of rooms. Rich people also build mansions. Poor people build small houses and even some live in huts with only one room. The Word of God says, when you pray go into your room, shut the door and pray in secret and your Father who hears your secret prayer will reward you openly.(Matthew6:6) Some people use the rooms of their houses for their own pleasures and comfort only.They have no time to spend a quiet time in a quiet place in their house to pray,as the whole house is filled with worldly music and

entertainment. The woman and her husband built a separate room for Elijah so that he may rest when he came that way. I blessed them for this. Even today believers who have a room in their house for fellowship, worship and prayer are blessed. I have said â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Where two or three are gathered together in My name, I will be there in their midst.(Matthew18:20) People build churches so that large groups of people can gather together and worship Me. Wherever people worship Me it s a consecrated place. In a house the people may always pray in one room which is alloted only for prayers. It is a holy place, a sacred place. But because of this room, every room in the house is consecrated and there is no room for the devil to stay. Houses which are not consecrated by Me will give easy access for the devil to enter. The heart of a person is like a room with a door. I have said â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if anyone hears My voice, and opens the door of his heart to Me, I will enter in and dwell with him.(Revelation 3:20) Some people do not wish to open their hearts to Me. They want Me to stay in one part of their heart and at the same time they allow evil thoughts and desires in their hearts. I will not enter such a heart or a house, where they have all kinds of worldly pleasures, drinking and dancing and at the same time they pray to Me also. Those who do not open their hearts to the Holy Spirit to fill them, will give room for the devil to enter in. Open the doors of the rooms of your heart and house and I will enter in and dwell with you.â&#x20AC;?

27. OCEANS “Before I created the earth and everything in it, there was only water everywhere.I made the land to appear and separated the land from the water. Still there were deep seas and oceans. These oceans were for the good of mankind and they were very useful to him. Though vast oceans separated one land from the other, with his intelligence man built ships and travelled from one land to the other over the oceans. The living creatures in these oceans are useful to man in many ways. There were treasures also in the ocean of different kinds. The Word of God is like a large ocean. Man’s life is also like a large ocean. God’s Word is also like a ship on which man travels in the ocean. It carries him along, on his life’s journey. Like he gets food from the ocean the Word of God will give him spiritual food and drink. Like the treasures in the sea, the blessings and promises and commandments that he gets out of this ocean of God’s Word, will make him rich spiritually and materially. Like the clouds get the water from the ocean to pour out the rain on the land, man receives the showers of blessing, when he is filled with the Holy Spirit. Some oceans are very cold and with huge blocks of ice in them, but even in this surrounding the living creatures are well equipped, to bear the cold and live in the midst of the blocks of ice in the ocean. These blocks of ice sometimes damage the ships and lives are lost.

The world with its dangers and temptations and the satanic forces of darkness, are like the ocean with the blocks of ice. Man is living in such a world. Like the creatures in those places which are equipped to live there , man is to also equip himself with the armour of God and the Holy Spirit to fight against the satanic forces which want to destroy him. The oceans where there are no icebergs have other dangers in them. In all oceans there are currents and storms. The ships that travel in these oceans have many instruments like the compass to guide them safely. I am the compass to guide man through the storms and currents in his life, because I am the way which he should follow, and I lead him through the way of the cross. The ships that travel in the oceans have been built strong enough to withstand the batterings of the storms. Those who have faith in Me will be strong enough to withstand the trials and temptations in their lives. Some people dive deep into the ocean to study the creatures, plants and the treasures of the ocean. They get very valuable information which is useful to them in many ways. In the same way, those who deeply study the Word of God and spend long time in prayer will grow in their spiritual life and will be blessed. Like the deep ocean the spiritual life is also very deep and the deeper he goes into the spiritual life, he keeps on growing and has many wonderful experiences, like the wonders found in the ocean. There are safe harbours also in the ocean, near the land. After undergoing all the storms and dangers of travelling on the ocean, at last the ship reaches a safe harbour.

A believer, a child of God, who successfully overcomes many trials and struggles in his life with a strong faith in Me, has spent his life in prayer and obeying My Word and serving Me in this world, at the end of his life will safely arrive in My Kingdom, where he will dwell with Me forever.â&#x20AC;?

28. HEALING â&#x20AC;&#x153;That man sat at the pool for thirty eight years to be healed. But he was unable to get into the water, when the water was stirred up because he was lame and he could not move fast. At that time his faith was in the water.(John 5:1-9) Water is life- giving substance. It gives health. Without water man cannot live. Water also cleans and purifies. Physically it cleans the body and symbolically also it is used in baptism to cleanse the soul. Hundreds of people were around that pool in Bethesda, when that man was healed by Me that day. His eyes were looking longingly at the pool to see when it will be stirred up by the angel. When I came there and spoke to him and asked him if he wished to be healed , he looked longingly into My eyes and by looking at Me his faith was stirred up. The moment I commanded him to be healed and get up, he immediately did so and most of the people who witnessed this there believed in Me. He followed Me wherever I went and many sick were healed by Me. That place near the pool was a beautiful place. It was a place of rest and quietness. Because of that pool, that place became a place of pilgrimage. That man as long as he looked into the pool could not be healed because he had to go into the pool at the right time. The miracle was not in the pool. It was in the faith of the people who got into the pool to be healed. When he turned his eyes and his faith towards Me he was immediately healed.

In the crowd so many people pressed against Me and rubbed against My robes even. But when that woman with faith touched the hem of My garments, she was immediately healed of her disease of twelve years. (Matthew9:20-22) The blind man could not see Me but I could see him and he could see Me with his spiritual eyes.(Mark 10:46-52) Today also I look at the children of God with compassion for their sufferings. It is My desire that the sick and the suffering should be healed. When I was in the world My ministry was to save the souls and heal the body. Before I left the world I commissioned all the servants of God and all who believe in Me, to pray for the lost souls and the sick bodies. To look into My face, that man at Bethesda had to turn his face away from the pool and by looking into My face he cannot see the pool also. Those who wish to be healed have to look away from the worldly things that were once attracting them and look fully into My face with their spiritual eyes and pray, and they will receive their healing.Those who look into My face will find that they have no more pleasure in the worldly things. That man never went back to the pool of Bethesda again. His life was completely changed. He went about telling other people of his miraculous healing. He was a witness for Me. He brought many souls to be healed and saved by Me. Even today this is the duty of those who have been healed by Me from their sickness. They have to be witness for Me to others. They have to pray for others who are sick like them to be healed of their bodies, and save their souls. The Word of God says, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. (Hebews13:8)

I am the same Lord today, who stood by the pool of Bethesda. Even as I stood before that man to heal him, today I stand before you to heal you. Look at Me wih faith and be healed of your sickness.â&#x20AC;?

29. TITHES AND OFFERINGS “I am the Lord who created the heaven and the earth and all that is their. (Colossians1:16) I am Jehovah Jireh, the provider, (Genesis22:14) and yet I have said Bring Me your tithes and offerings into My house.(Malachi 3:10) In the beginning the offerings were the sacrifices they made, as an offeing and cleansing for their sins. The sacrifice was not important. It was not just a ritual. The person who offered the sacrifice had to come into My presence with his offering with a grateful and penitant heart. Cain and Abel both brought offerings to Me, but I rejected Cain’s offering and accepted Abel’s offering. Cain was proud and wicked and without repenting he brought his offeing to Me and expected Me to accept the offering as his right. Abel humbled himself and brought his offering with a repentant heart. That is why I accepted Abel’s offering and rejected Cain’s offering. Even then Cain did not accept his faults.He became jealous of his brother and murdered him and I had to punish him for this. I gave many laws ansd commandments to the children of Israel. I had blessed them all with riches and when the tabernacle was built they willingly brought the offerings even more than what was needed. Offerings should be brought to the house of the Lord with a humble repentant heart willingly and not grudgingly. Later on these Israel people broke My law in regards to the tithes and offeings. As I blessed them abundantly they became wicked and gave their offerings and sacrifices to the idols and wor

shipped them. They were punished for this also. Even today Christians go to different places of pilgrimage and shrines of idols and other gods and give offering there, in the false belief that they will get healing of their sickness and relief and solution for their troubles. As a result their condition becomes worse. During the days I was in the earth, I taught My disciples to regularly pay heir tithes and offerings to the house of God. After My death and resurrection the disciples gathered together in one place where they worshipped together. They had everything in common. They lived by their offerings brought by the believers.(Acts 2:44) Even here Ananias and Sapphira, forgetting that they cannot hide from the Holy Spirit brought a part of their offerings and kept back a part. They paid with their lives for this.(Acts 5:1-10) Many believers today in the world, do not receive the blessings that should come to them because they are not true in their tithes and offerings.The woman who put in two mites as an offering was an example of her sacrificial giving. The idol-worshippers are more generous in their offerings to the idols â&#x20AC;&#x201C;the devils-which demand more and more from them. If the Gospel has to reach throughout the world to every soul, the tithes and offerings of the believers is neccesary for this. The Word of God says those who do not pay their tithes and offerings are robbing God and bringing a curse on themselves.(Malachi 3:8,9) But I have said â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if you bring your tithes and offerings into My house I will open the windows of heaven and shower the blessings upon you. (Malachi3:10)

Many testify of this because I never fail to keep My word to those who obey Me and trust Me.â&#x20AC;?

30. BIRTH AND DEATH “Except for Adam and Eve who were created all the people in the world are born. Job’s life was a blessing to many and I had a purpose for birth and life in the world. After his troubles were over Job understood why he had to suffer. Today the Book of Job in the Word of God is one of the most wonderful books in which many mysteries and secrets are revealed. All people who are born are given the freedom to choose their own destinies. They live their own lives according to their choosing. Some live good lives and some bad. Cain of his own choice became a murderer. Abraham was born to become the father of the Israelite nation. Like this some births have been chosen by Me for a purpose. Isaac’s birth was a miracle so that the twelve tribes of Israel would be born from Jacob. Joseph was chosen to save the people from famine and Moses was born and had to grow up in Pharaoh’s palace so that later on he could lead the people of Israel out of Egypt and teach them the laws and commandments. All these births were according to My will and purpose. The worldly people cannot understand why it was My will that certain people had to be born. But the Word of God says – My thoughts are not your thoughts and My ways are not your ways.(Isaiah55:8) I hold the destiny of the whole world in My hands and people who try to live with faith in Me will fulfill My desires and their desires will be according to My will. But others go against My will and choose their own destinies and bring about their deaths – physical and spiritual.

Even the deaths of patriarchs were destined by Me. The prophets of old were chosen to correct the people and guide them in the right way. Saul was born to become the first king of Israel but he went against My will and brought about his own downfall and death. David and Solomon were chosen by Me to be kings. As people’s destiny is in My hands, I can lift up some and bring down others. The Word of God says – From your mother’s womb I have chosen you. (Galatians 1:15) I hand picked My disciples.(Matthew4:18-22) Their births, their lives and their deaths were all according to My purpose and they fulfilled My will. Paul was also a chosen vessel. I used the patriarchs, the prophets, the disciples and apostles to write down the Word of God and it is because, I chose these people from their births. Throughout the world, the Word of God – the Books of the Bible – that they wrote, is being read everywhere. It is the most precious Book in the world. Every birth (everyone who is born in the world) is a life that is precious to Me and it is not My will that any should perish in their sins. According to the will of the Father I was born into this world to save mankind from his sins. There are people who do not care for the lives of others and some who take their own lives also. Those who believe in My birth and the purpose of My birth, death and resurrection, will understand the purpose of their birth and death and live their lives in faith with Me, according to My will, fulfilling My purpose for them; so that when they die in this world they will live an everlasting life with Me in My kingdom.

Those who do not believe in Me and worship other gods and follow the devil, when they die in this world will live with the devil in hell which is prepared for them. So all those who are born in the world are given the freedom of choice of choosing where they are going to spend eternity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether with Me in My kingdom or with the devil in his kingdom.â&#x20AC;?

31. THE BEGINNING & END “I am the beginning and the end. I am Alpha and I am Omega.(Revelation1: 8; 21:6) I have no beginning and no end. I am from everlasting to everlasting.( Psalm 90:2) Everything in the world has a beginning and an ending also. That is why (so that people may understand that nothing in this world is permanent) the Book of Ecclisiastes was written in the Word of God. Frequently tell the people, specially the young people, to read this book often. It is an important sermon. Many people in the world go through life in a callous way. They try to find pleasure in the worldly things to forget their sorrows and troubles. But when pleasure ends they find only more bitterness in their lives. The Word of God says – There is a time for everything.(Ecclisiastes 3:1) Trees and plants grow, blossom, give fruit and die. Some may live for many years, some for a short time but they also have an end. Among peope some die in their infancy even when they are born; some die in their childhood; some die in their youth; some live till their middle age and some live to an old ripe age and die. This is a mystery beyond man’s understanding – why some die soon and some die late after many years. There is a beginning and an end to a life. I gave Solomon the wisdom to write the Book of Proverbs – much advice as to how a person can live a good life. Throughout the Word of God, before a man’s life ends , there is so much for him to read and understand and live according to the instructions there to

lead a good life. People of different religions have their own doctrines about birth and death. Some of these doctrines and religious beliefs are from satan. The atheists believe in evolution as the beginning and the death of the body as the end. This theory has been proved false by may. The doctrine of reincarnation is also false. There is no pleasure that lasts forever. There is no sorrow also that lasts forever. Man has created beautiful buildings, works of art, fields of engineering skill, new inventions; but none of these are everlasting. They break; they get damaged; they are ruined and in spite of being repaired frequently in the end they are discarded and left. Nothing in the world was created to last forever. As I have said in the Word of God, even the world that I have created has a beginning and it will have an end also. But I have also said - there will be a new heaven and a new earth which will be everlasting.(Revelation21:1) The Word of God was written so that man may understand all the changes that are taking place in the world, from the time it was created. Everything in the world is changing from age to age and from day to day. In the material things also there are changes. People change in their habits, in their dress, their home and their love also changes. But I never change. (Malachi 3:6) My love is everlasting. I love the world that I created and the people in it. But manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sin turned him away from My love. The signs that are taking place in the world are all recorded in the Word of God.(Mattew24) The unbelievers still say that everything is same from century

to century and that the world will go on forever. But those who believe in My Word and in the prophesies of the Word of God, will know by the signs that the end of the world is very near, even at the doors. Each year, each month, each day, each hour, each minute and even every second is bringing the end of the world closer. I came to save man from his sins by coming to the world, by giving My life on the cross, and by My resurrection. The physical death of man is only the death of the body because I created man with a soul also, which does not die with the body. A man’s life in the world will decide where he will spend eternity after the end of the world. I am the resurrection and the life.(John11:25) I am alive and those who believe in Me that I am the Creator and I am the Saviour of mankind, the only true God and the only God will live with Me in My kingdom for eternity. Those who have denied Me and followed other gods; who have not accepted Me as Saviour; who have not repented for their sins and been washed by My blood; those who have lived in the pleasures of the world – will spend eternity with satan in his kingdom. The signs of the last days of the world and its end, the judgement of the people of the world after their death and resurrection when they will have to stand before Me to be judged after the destruction of the world – they must decide now, where they will spend eternity. Let the people be warned and read the Word of God and follow it, so that they will realise that their life does not end with their birth and death in the world. I am the beginning and the end. I am from everlasting to everlasting. I have no beginning and no end. I live forever and those who believe in Me, who worship Me alone and who follow Me will live forever in My kingdom.”

TESTIMONY OF SIS. GLORIA DHARMAPALAN “… I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction”. (Is. 48:10) I praise the Lord for the furnace of affliction, through which I was saved by the blood of Jesus and my family was blessed. From that day I never looked back but went forward growing in my spiritual life. I continued to have a very close relationship with my Lord and Saviour Jesus speaking to Him. He has spoken, guided and upheld me in my daily life. In 1975 I received the anointing of the Holy Spirit with the manifestation of praising and speaking in tongues. As I progressed I experienced miracles and visions while praying at home and in church. The Lord used me to serve Him by ministering to others. There were instants when the Lord has told to pray specifically for unknown people, even mentioning their names at times. Thus I could see the gifts of the Holy Spirit being operated. I give all the glory to Him. From 1990, while praying with my daughter Helen Solomon, the Lord has given visions and messages on many topics which Helen has written down what I repeated as the Lord told me. On 06.03.1990 the Lord said, “I give you the privilege of having a relationship with me which is more than any human relationship because you are my beloved children. Desire for this relationship and I will give it to you, as you grow in your spiritual life”. On 21.03.1990, the Lord said, “The special gift of the Holy Spirit you have from above, is more precious than gold. Guard it. You will know how to use it in time that my Name may be glorified among the heathen. As commissioned by the Lord Jesus, these messages were written for all to read and be blessed and for the Glory of God. Alleluia! Mrs. Gloria Dharmapalan
