the proposition, especially when she realized she would be younger than his youngest child. One evening she went to meet with her father. “I pleaded with him not to arrange my marriage now, but to send me for further studies. My father denied my request. I argued with him, for I was unable to imagine such a marriage. He did not listen to me at all,” she told Bibles for Mideast. Tearful and defiant, Ramza told her father she would run away from home before the marriage could take place. Enraged that she would argue or question his authority, he suddenly grabbed a chair and hit her on the head with one of its legs. Ramza collapsed to the ground, bleeding profusely from a broken skull. Her father and stepmother were shocked when they realized she was dead. Not wanting anyone to know, they tied up her dead body and stuffed it into a large plastic bag and placed it in the trunk of their car.

Seeking Death but Finding Life
At the end of each program, Pastor Harichandra gave a phone number for any listener who wanted to contact him in response to the program. Gospel for Asia-supported radio broadcasters commonly share a phone number to provide people with an opportunity to request more information. As listeners narrate their heartbreaking situations, Gospel for Asia-supported radio staff do everything they can to help each person, whether that means praying for them, offering encouragement and counsel, or connecting them with pastors in their area who can meet with the listeners and pour into their lives.
Moreover, Jinsy read literature and a New Testament she received from the radio staff, and her heart soon urged her to welcome Jesus as her Savior.
As the program Jinsy listened to came to a close, she was unable to write down the contact number so she tuned in another day to hear the next broadcast from Pastor Harichandra. That message was just as encouraging as the first broadcast she heard. This time, Jinsy excitedly dialed the number and talked with Pastor Harichandra.

After Pastor Harichandra prayed for her and offered more encouragement, Jinsy felt as though a heavy burden had rolled away. She kept in touch with the Gospel for Asia-supported radio staff, and Jesus did His transforming work in her heart.

really looked deeply into the significance of what we were praying. Many of us have not thought to say these powerful words as part of our daily devotional time.

The Rebirth of a Nation by Robert Duffany
I want to talk to you about something that is vitally important in our lives - vital to our lives right now, this moment in our United States of America. When the Founding Fathers of this country assembled together to attempt the formation of a decent, righteous government which would serve (not Rule) it’s people, they were inspired by at least three directives stemming from their own lives and from the colonial people whom they had been chosen to represent. First directive: the state of affairs and affairs of state, and the condition of the people still existent in the lands from which they had emigrated. Religious (Christian and other) intolerance was rampant in most countries of Europe. The heavy hands of established church oppressors was felt by the poorest of people who sought only to live their lives in
I repeat, before healing can come from the things done to us Jesus said, “forgive me of my trespasses.” Then He instructs us to pray, “As I forgive them.” Receiving forgiveness is tied directly to granting forgiveness to others. Dr. Rutland explained, “Maybe a better way of saying this is that we ask the Lord to forgive us as much as we are willing to forgive someone else.” In the King James Version Jesus refers to forgiveness as cancelling a debt and releasing the debtor. When someone goes through this process of “inner healing”, he or she is making a choice. I choose to forgive that person of each of the incidents of pain and I ask Lord for your forgiveness of my judgements against them. I cancel the debt I have held against them and I release any hope of repayment. So how has the Lord forgiven me? Unconditionally and without question. My many sins will never be held against me and nobody will ever know what I did. “As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from me. Psalm 103:12. Can we be as gracious to the person er life for their children. Second Directive: The Founding Fathers were damant that any new central government would never - never - become dictatorial or self-seeking; never become a kingdom, never become monarchical, never become oppressive in any matter of human lives, and never cease to remain a servant - not a master - of the people who trusted that government to serve them legally, morally, and righteously.

The aristocracy prevalent in most countries was separated by wide gulfs from struggling masses of commoners who barely stayed alive on dregs of the luxurious lifestyles of the ‘elite’.

who caused so much pain as much as the Lord is to us? I can reflect on my life and many instances where I truly needed forgiveness from the hurts I caused others. For full freedom from the bondage of emotional pain, we have to allow low God deal with the situation and the person by forgiving them and releasing them unto the Lord. Unconditionally. Then we ourselves can begin a joyful life complete in Christ knowing He has already forgiven us! The whole cornerstone of any counseling ministry is stressing Jesus’s promise of the Father’s forgiveness and the unconditional love that follows. He wants us free from our hurt so we can fulfill the destiny He has already established for us. Psalm 139:14. Here again it is a choice we are making. Like the article I wrote on the prisoners who were told they were there because of their choices, we too are caught in our own prison by our choices. Choices to be bitter, to dwell on our hurts by hating and unforgiving. The only way to break free is to choose. Forgiveness is the only way, but first, Lord forgive me.

The Rebirth of a Nation From Page 4
We need a Miracle! And God has stated that He will provide that miracle 2 Chron. 7:14. True humility, repentance, and prayer before the mighty Creator of ALL - God Himself - is absolutely necessary. You know, this nation, this USA, was birthed by a miracle, as we discussed. There is a precedent for such a birth. It is found in God’s Word, Isaiah 51:1-3: “Listen to me, you that follow after righteousness, you that seek the LORD; look unto the Rock from which you are hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you are digged. Look unto Abraham, your father, and unto Sarah that bore you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places: and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving and the voice of melody.”

dreadful events to happen, even to the reduction of the nation to a lowly state (verse 20). Our country today has turned away from God, and He has turned away from us, allowing enemy forces to infiltrate this land, people and government; and allowing ungodly, enormous, abominable sin to devastate our lives and our children’s lives. We all know too well well what is happening. The only answer is, again, 2 Chron. 7:14. He is merciful and will once again bless this country and restore it to His ideal of greatness, if CHRISTIANS will heed and do what He commands in this verse. It is up to CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS to pray, humble themselves, confess our personal and national sins, seek His face, and turn from the wicked ways which are ravaging and destroying this nation. Unbelievers will not do this. God said, “If MY people...” That’s us - you and I! L e t ’ s D O I T ! Let’s go, Christians! Get it done! God’s promise is there! He will respond! He told us to turn this nation back to God!
The Spirit Of Truth By Madeline Duffany
I am writing because lately I’m feeling very discouraged. I guess you could say I am “stuck” - bound in one place and unable to go forward. This applies to my workplace, my place of worship, and yes, even in my marriage. Take, for instance, the church I attend. It feels so dry that I could scream! Every Sunday, the same old songs, the same old message about how sinful we are. The same old traditions. There is no joy in my life. I always feel that there is something better, something more, something that I am missing. My neighbor is always singing and speaking in tongues and is so outgoing. She takes baked goods to the “wrong side of town.” What can I do to break free without hurting my loved ones? Running away is not an option, although it is always in the back of my mind. I am a saved believer, but so sad and wilted. Signed, Lifeless
Study more of the Word Dear Life! of God at: http://www. ficcwordchurch.org/fitc- We have to stir up our faith, because the school.htm soil we are planted in (God’s Word) has to be renewed daily in us.
I liken this to a potted plant that is “rootbound”. The soil becomes dry and hard so that even the water (the Word) cannot penetrate and reach the roots. Sometimes we need a bigger pot - a big ger vision of God. The old roots take over
and continually wind themselves around and around, conforming to the pot they are planted in. When we allow God to re-pot us, we get knocked out of the old pot, our roots trimmed, and are re-potted in fresh soil! Let the Lord trim off the worldly entanglements! We don’t have room for an evil thing to get on us: we need to be totally covered, packed in, tamped down, wholly watered by the Holy Spirit’s planting of the Word of God deep into our own spirit. This way, we will produce Fruit in season! We are then a planting of the Lord - trees of righteousness! I pray that you will uproot all bitterness, get refreshed in the Word of God, and that your new leaves will be a covering for your family. Psalm 1:1,2 This is God’s Truth!

The Cults Series #3
BRADENTON FLORIDA | FREE - Donations Welcome!
By Gayle O’Connor
Before I begin, some of you might be wondering what happened to the evangelist. He is still alive and well and telling everyone about Jesus at every opportunity. We’re both looking very forward to next year when he retires and we move to a new mission field, Lord willing. We have both felt that this series was very important to get out to everyone and especially for you who may have a Jehovah’s Witness knock on your door. But please remember this. Don’t attack the person. Attack the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society if you want to attack something. They have lied time and time again and brain washed these people who are so sincere in wanting to serve God. All scripture in this series is pertaining to the Deity of Christ. Beginning with the first chapter of Hebrews, paying particular attention to verse 4, Jesus is so much more superior to the angels. And then in verse 8 God says to the Son, “Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness
is the scepter of thy kingdom.” Now, let’s take a look at Rev. 1:8 which says, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Verse 7 tells us that every eye shall see Jesus when he comes in the clouds, even the ones who pierced him. Who was pierced? Jesus. Who is coming in the clouds? Jesus. Verse 8, Jesus calls himself the beginning and the ending, the Almighty. Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” John 1:1-3, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2. The same was in the beginning with God. 3. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.” Isaiah 43:3 – “For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour:” 44:6 – Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last: and beside
me there is no
God. All of the above scriptures and so many more support the Deity of Christ. Let me leave you with these last two: 1Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, jus-tified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Who was manifest in the flesh? Jesus. In the first chapter of the Revelation given to John by Jesus Christ the “Organization of JWs” has changed everything in the chapter in order to make it say that Jehovah God is speaking and not Jesus. But there is a little, well no, it’s a big problem in verse 18 if Je- hovah God is speaking and not Jesus. Verse 18 says, I am he that liveth, and was dead: and, behold, I am alive for ever more, Amen, and have the keys of hell and of death. So the question is – When did Jehovah God die? If you find a JW that can answer this question I would like to know about. Now for an update on our fam-
ily members who are JWs. Around July 9th. I received a pkg. in the mail from my brother-in-law. I anxiously opened it to find Religion, Salvation, and 1 page explaining to me why John 1:1 is correct in the New World Translation. He also sent me a nice little note suggesting that if I have any more questions I should call the nearest Kingdom Hall and ask someone to visit me. He says a face to face conversation would be much more beneficial for me. The gospel has been presented to him. I trust that the Holy Spirit will continue to bring those scriptures to his mind and will not let him rest until he finally searches out 21 pages of 5 different topics all of which had been printed from the jw.org website. The topics were Jehovah’s Witnesses (their beliefs), Organization, what God’s Word really says and accepts Jesus as his Saviour. What I would like to do is send a reply to him about all the info. that I received and tell him how wrong it all is. But the Lord says “No, I will take care of it.” This is where faith comes in. We do what the Lord commands us to do and then he will take care of the rest. Praise His Holy Name! Please remember our JW family in your prayers. HE IS MIGHTY TO SAVE.

faith to trust Him to do the rest. Our motive must be the glory of God and not finding a way of escape. The important question isn’t. “How can I get out of this?” but, “What can I get out of this?” The Lord used this private test to prepare Daniel and his friends for the public tests they would face in years to come. The best thing about this experience wasn’t that they were delivered from compromise, as wonderful as that was, but that they were developed in character. No wonder God called Daniel “greatly beloved” (Dan 9:23; 10:11,19), for he was very much like His Beloved Son. If you want to make a living, you get training; and if you want to make a life, you add education. But if you want to have a ministry for God, you must have divine gifts and divine help. Training and education are very important, but they are not substitutes for the ability and wisdom that only God can give. God’s special blessing (Dan 1:17). These four Hebrew youths had to study and apply them-
selves, but God gave them skill to learn the material, discern ment to under stand it, and wisdom to know how to apply it and relate it to God’s truth. As students, all of us need to ask God for wisdom (James 1:5) and then work hard to do our very best. “Faith without works is dead” (2:26), and fervent prayer can never replace faithful study. Both are necessary. God’s special blessing (Dan 1:17). These four Hebrew youths had to study and apply themselves, but God gave them skill to learn the material, discernment to understand it, and wisdom to know how to apply it and relate it to God’s truth. As students, all of us need to ask God for wisdom (James 1:5) and then work hard to do our very best. “Faith without works is dead” (2:26), and fervent prayer can never replace faithful study. Both are necessary.
