      A Prayer for Health and Healing    

                  Because God's words are life to us and medicine to all our flesh (Proverbs 4:22), the prayer below has been filled with the Word - and what God has to say about your health and healing. As you make this prayer your confession, saying it out loud over and over, it will help build an image of health in your heart. You will become more firmly established in the fact that you are a new creation in Christ Jesus, and you will activate faith in your heart (Romans 10:17). Remember, God watches over His Word to perform it (Jeremiah1:12). He does what His Word says, and it does not return to Him void (Isaiah 55:11). So once your words - backed by faith - match God's words, you will see healing manifest in your life!

              Father, in the Name of Jesus, I confess Your Word concerning healing. As I do this, I believe and say that Your Word will not return to you void, but will accomplish what it says it will. Therefore, I believe, in the Name of Jesus, that I am healed according to 1 Peter 2:24. It is written in Your Word that Jesus Himself took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses. So with great boldness and confidence I say -on the authority of the written Word - that I am redeemed from the curse of sickness and I refuse to tolerate its symptoms. Satan, I declare to you, in the Name of Jesus, that  you have no authority over me, and you are rendered powerless because I bind you from operating against me in anyway. I am loosed from your assignment. I am the property of Almighty God and Igive you no place in me. I dwell in the secret place of the Most High God. Iabide and remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty, Whose power no foe can withstand. Now Father, because I reverence and worship You as God, I have the assurance of Your Word that the angel of the Lord encamps around aboutme and delivers me from every evil work. No evil shall befall me; no plague or calamity shall come near my dwelling. I confess the Word of God abides in meand delivers to me perfect soundness of mind and wholeness in body and spirit, from the deepest parts of my nature in my immortal spirit even to the joints and marrow of my bones. Your Word is medication and life to my flesh, for the law of the Spirit of life operates in me and makes me free from the law of sin and death. I have on the whole armor of God and the shield of faith protects me from all the fiery darts of the wicked. Jesus is the High Priest of my confession, and I hold fast to my confession of faith in Your Word. I stand immovable and fixed in full assurance that I have health and healing now, inthe Name of Jesus. Amen.

      “In these days he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.” (Luke 6:12 ESV)

         It’s an undeniable fact that though onecould lead a well planned life, unexpected things do creep in often. Insituations like this, if not careful, it can open one to much pressureand confusion.

                It’s good to learn how Jesussuccessfully managed his life in spite of a busy schedule. He was giventhe most important mission our planet has ever witnessed and he had tocomplete it within a very short time. One of the keys for hissuccessful life-management is mentioned in today’s passage given above.Jesus had the habit of spending quality time in prayer.

               Prayer is fellowshipping with God.It is spending time with the Father. The Bible, in multiple places,shows Jesus spending time in prayer, especially in the early morningand late night hours.

                  It was this rich communion with theFather that enabled Jesus to successfully accomplish his mission on aday-to-day basis. His prayer life helped him do the right thing at theright time. Though Jesus was fully divine, he could carry out hismission only as a result of his daily fellowship with the Father. Then,how much more do we need to spend time with God the Father,fellowshipping with him and receiving guidance from him.

                It was after spending quality time withthe Father that Jesus selected his twelve apostles and did a powerfulmiracle ministry (Luke 6:12-19). As in the case of our Lord, as youdaily commune with God, he will give you instructions, ideas, abilitiesand resources to do the works he has called you to do. And the resultswill be tremendous.

Take time to fellowship with the Father daily.

GOD BLESS YOU

Recently I wasinvited to speak at an Indonesian church an hour outside of Jakarta.

The senior pastor was diagnosed withliver cancer a year earlier. The doctors attending to him explored thepossibility of a liver transplant. After much effort, the money needed for theoperation was raised and a liver donor was found. On the eve of the surgery, asthe doctors were doing a final pre-op examination, they discovered that thecancer had spread throughout his body. It was now too late to do a livertransplant and the procedure was called off. The pastor and his family weredevastated by this unexpected turn of events. Upon hearing the news, theassistant pastor was so grief-stricken that the next day, he suddenly collapsedin the middle of the church service and died. Forty days later, the seniorpastor passed away. Without any clergy in this fledgling church, thehousewifely widow of the senior pastor had to conduct the funeral service onher own. Some finger-pointing members started questioning if the untimelydeaths of the top leadership were due to divine retribution, or whether thechurch was cursed. Over the next few months, attendance began to dwindle. As Iministered in the church, I could sense an unspoken question in the air—whydo bad things happen to good people?

There are manywonderful blessings that come with belonging to the Faith/Charismatic circle:the belief in signs and wonders, divine healing and health, success andfinancial prosperity, living a life of influence and purpose, et cetera.However, one area that most Charismatics do not handle too well is the issue ofsuffering. The prevalent reasoning is that if God is a good, healing,delivering God, whose desire is only to protect and bless His children, then aChristian should not have to suffer. And if a believer does suffer, then theremust be something wrong with his/her life or faith. As such, it is not uncommonto hear prominent Faith/Charismatic ministers making rhetorical statementslike, “Our heavenly Father will never allow Christians to suffer. I rejectsufferings and claim only God’s blessings!”

When this kind of simplistic thinking is embraced, it can make a person judgmentaland mean-spirited. If one is faced with an incurable disease or experiences atragic accident, it must be the result of an unconfessed sin, a generationalcurse, or that God is giving up on that person. It is a judgment from God, adivine retribution.

Years ago, one of my Bible college classmates died unexpectedly. Instead ofconsoling and comforting her father, who was a minister in the Assemblies ofGod, some Christians wrote accusatory letters condemning him of being the causeof his daughter’s untimely death. They speculated the existence of secret,unconfessed sins that had resulted in this “divine punishment.” Otherwise, itmust have been his “lack of faith” that failed to raise that girl from thedead.

Shortly after Seow-How and Cecilia co-founded Heart of God Church in 1999,there was a terrible accident that took place outside of their church premisesone Sunday. Two teenage members were walking across the road when a sleepy busdriver rammed into them. One of them died on the spot, the other died in thehospital hours later. It was a heart-wrenching tragedy for this very youngchurch and its congregation. One lady from a local Charismatic church beratedSeow-How and Cecilia, saying that the church had been divinely cursed. How elsecould they explain the unexpected death of the two teenagers? If God’s blessingwas on the congregation, there should never have been any form of suffering.

In an overly simplistic view on suffering, the logic usually goes like this:

If you are good, there will be nosuffering for you.

If you are bad, you will suffer.

So if there is suffering, then you must be bad, cursed and judged!

If this line of reasoning is true, then what about Jesus Christ, the apostlesand all the heroes of faith? They all suffered greatly for the gospel.Obviously the “suffering-means-accursed” logic espoused by many is greatlyflawed. I feel strongly that we need to re-look the whole concept of suffering,especially through the life of Job, a man who went through an unparalleledmagnitude of suffering.

The Scripture introduces Job as someone who was “blameless and upright, andone who feared God and shunned evil” (Job 1:1). In fact, Job’s moralitywas so legendary that he was listed twice as one of the three most righteousmen in the Old Testament (Ezek. 14:14, 20). He was a spiritually mature man,not a novice in the things of God.

Job was blessed with seven sons and three daughters, all grown up with theirown families and homes. He was incredibly wealthy with thousands of livestock.His ownership of 3,000 camels meant that he ran the largest transportationbusiness in the region during his time. The sheer number of his sheep, camels,oxen and donkeys meant that Job also owned a lot of farmlands for the animalsto graze on. Without a doubt, he “was the greatest of all the people of theEast” (1:3), a man professionally respected by all.

Beyond his material success, Job was a caring father to his children. Like thepatriarchs, he functioned as a priest over his family. He took his sacrificialobligation seriously, viewing it as expiation for sin. To Job this includedeven sins of the heart, for he made special offerings just in case his sons hadsecretly cursed God (1:5). Even God Himself acknowledged that there was not abetter man than Job in his day (1:8). If ever there was an outstanding man, itwas Job. Yet, very bad things happened to him.

In one day, severe calamities befell him and his household. Out of nowherebandits came and pillaged all his oxen and donkeys, murdering all his farmhandsin the process (1:15). Then a lightning bolt came out of the sky causing aforest fire, and all his 7,000 sheep and herdsmen were burned alive (1:16). Atthe same time, robbers came in three raids and took away his 3,000 camels andslew all their handlers (1:17). And before the dust could settle, a freak stormstruck the house wherein his ten children were dining. The roof fell on themand they all died instantly (1:19). Within 24 hours, Job lost his entirebusiness and family. Without anyone to help him, this 70-year-old elderly manhad to bury all his children by himself.

As if what happened was not bad enough, Job now became very sick. His body wasinflamed with ulcerous sores (2:7). Bible scholars believe that he had a severecase of elephantiasis, an illness that causes swelling and the disfiguration offace, causing him to be unrecognizable (2:12). He began to lose appetite andspiraled into depression (3:24-25). His body was covered with scabs oozing outpus and there were worms crawling all over him (7:5). He developed difficultybreathing (9:18), darkening of the eyelid (16:16), severe weight loss (19:20)as well as continual pain and anxiety (30:27). The high fever and blackenedskin (30:30) indicated that he was probably having some form of kidney or liverfailure. For the next nine months, Job was in constant delirium.

Because he was totally bankrupt, Job was now living at the city dump where theyburned garbage and human excrements. He was the absolute personification ofmisery. The richest man in the East was reduced to nothing. He was now a socialoutcast—shamed, disgraced, rejected and despised by all. Very bad thingshappened to this very good man!

It is never easy for anyone to go through difficult times and tough situations.However, when terrible things happen to us, here are a few things we need tobear in mind:

1. Know that God is not angry with you. Jobwas an extremely righteous man, yet he suffered like no one else. Psalm 34:19says, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers himout of them all.” The apostle Paul, who himself is no stranger tosuffering, says, “All who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will sufferpersecution” (2 Tim. 3:12). You could be going through a hard time becauseyou have been righteous and godly. So do not condemn yourself or think that Godis displeased with you.

By the way, the word “afflictions” also means physical suffering and mentalanguish. With all my heart, I fully believe in divine healing (Mark 16:17-18).However, I also submit to the sovereignty of God in any given situation. LikeJob, many great men of faith (with strong healing ministries) have themselvesbeen afflicted with terrible illnesses. Elisha the miracle worker died of aterminal sickness (2 Kin. 13:14). The apostle Paul was said to have had anincurable disease (2 Cor. 12:7). Epaphroditus was so sick he almost died (Phil.2:27). Billy Graham and Yonggi Cho are both diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.Reinhard Bonkke struggled with prostate cancer a few years ago. Casey Treat wasdiagnosed with Hepatitis C in 2003. A week ago, on November 22, megachurchpastor Billy Joe Daughterty succumbed to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and passedaway. All these ministers are godly men of faith, with impeccable integrity, buthave themselves been suffering with severe illnesses. The next time you seesomeone who is sick, please do not be quick to judge him/her for having littlefaith. We do live in a fallen world with imperfect bodies.

2. Realize that you are in a spiritual warfare. TheBible makes it very clear that the source of Job’s suffering was Satan thedevil. He has come to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). Through tragediesand calamities, Satan constantly seeks to tempt us to reject God, to “curse Himto His face” (Job 1:11). When you are faced with hard times, do not get madwith God. It is not His fault.

3. Believe that God is ultimately in control. Totouch Job’s possessions, family and health, Satan needed permission from God(1:12; 2:6). We can be assured of this one thing: nothing can ever happen to uswithout His permission. As a good God, He never enjoys seeing His peoplesuffer. Yet sometimes, He allows bad things to happen to bring about adeeper change in us. In the case of Job, Satan may have thought that he wasprovoking God; but really, God was simply using Satan to complete His ownperfecting work in Job.

4. Offer up the sacrifice of praise. Despitebeing grief-stricken, Job “fell to the ground and worshiped,” acknowledgingGod’s sovereignty over his life to give and take away (1:20-21). Even when hewas made bankrupt and saw the irrational death of his ten children, never oncedid he “sin nor charge God with wrong” (1:22). Job’s trust in God’sgoodness was astounding.

5. Understand that God is seeking to make you better. Godis more interested in our character than our comfort. He is a very purposefulGod and never arbitrary in His treatment concerning us. That is why when we donot see His hand, we must learn to trust His heart. If not, we will becomeconfused, resentful and bitter. That is precisely why we need faith in our walkwith Him. The silence of God will make you wonder if He even cares, but Hedoes. The silence of God will make you wonder if He is even there, but He is.Faith is never for the good times, it is always for the difficult times.

One cannot appreciate Job’s love for God unless one understands Job 29, whichis a description of Job’s life before the tragedies befell him. Way back then,the counsel of God was already a lamp unto his feet and a light unto his path(29:1-3; Ps. 119:105). He was walking in revelation. By Job’s own admission, heconsidered himself as one who had already “arrived” at advanced spiritualgrowth and maturity: “I was in the days of my prime” (Job 29:4). Hewas living with great material abundance and God’s presence (29:6).

When he spoke, everybody listened. Job was the “eyes to the blind,” the“feet to the lame,” the “father to the poor,” the provider towidows, and the defender of justice. The people loved, admired and looked up tohim. He was their guide, commander and king. Really, there was nothing more forJob to achieve. He had done it all! He was living the dream!

I know that for most Christian businesspeople or “kingdom professionals,” thisis the kind of life we all aspire to live—blessed with wealth, a great familylife, and status in society. We desire to be the head and not the tail, aboveand not beneath, and at the same time, a spiritual leader that everyone looksup to in the church and community. Yet as far as God was concerned, Job was notcompletely mature. There were many inner struggles he had that nobodyknew of. For one, Job never felt safe or secure in life in spite of all

hisachievements. He had a lot of restlessness and anxieties in his soul (3:25-26).

Here was a man who knew and sensed God, but never had real, deep, life-changingencounters with God. He had heard from God, but had never seen the Lord (42:5).Although he loved God with all his heart, he had not yet reached the point of totalabandonment toward Him. Job is like the Christian who has not come toa place where he can say, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die isgain” (Phil. 1:21), or “I have been crucified with Christ; it is nolonger I who live, but Christ lives in me” (Gal. 2:20).

Job was successful, spiritual and blameless, but he was not broken unto theLord. He felt he had “arrived” (materially, parentally, socially, spiritually),but he was terribly deceived—a victim of his own illusion. God wanted to changethat in him. In His sovereign wisdom, the only way to break Job was to take himthrough a period of abject suffering.

6. Develop the capacity to obediently endure.This is the key purpose of all God-ordained sufferings. James 5:11 exhorts usto experience and learn the “perseverance of Job.” Perseverance is the“capacity to endure,” which is critical to our maturity and destiny. Veryoften, when we are exposed to certain viral sicknesses (for example, chickenpox), our body develops immunity against it thereafter. Similarly, whilesuffering does not originate from God, He allows it to build in us thespiritual capacity to handle intense pain and stress, and an immunity towarddiscouragement and depression.

Romans 5:3-4 says that “we also glory in tribulations, knowing thattribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character,hope.” No one in the right mind will ever wish for suffering.We do notrejoice in suffering unless we know there is something greater that God haspurposed in our lives. God’s ultimate purpose of putting us through crisis,heartbreaks, misunderstanding and persecution is so that we developperseverance (the capacity to endure), character (moral strength) and hope (apositive outlook of life).

How great a life do you want to live? Well, how much pressure are you able totake? When Job lost all his wealth and ten children, and his resentful wifeblamed God, he was able to keep on worshiping Him. When his physical body wassuffering from sores, swellings and multiple organ failures, and when hispsychological state of mind was in severe depression, Job was able to keeptrusting God. His capacity for pressure was amazing. Job said, “Though Heslay me, yet will I trust Him” (Job 13:15). Trusting God is when you donot need an explanation from Him for whatever is happening in your life.

When his three friends (Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar) turned against him andpersecuted him, telling him that his predicament was a punishment from God forhis sin, Job held on to his faith: “But He knows the way that I take; whenHe has tested me, I shall come forth as gold” (Job 23:10).

Even Jesus Christ went through sufferings to “learn obedience” as a Son (Heb.5:8). Obedient endurance is the crowning mark of maturity.When you can obey the will of God even in the midst of crisis, heartbreaks,misunderstanding and persecution, you have become truly mature.

Sufferings refine our faith in God like nothing else will. That is why theScripture encourages us to “count it all joy when you fall into varioustrials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience” (James1:2-3). As your capacity for endurance grows, and you can keep on obeying thewill of God in spite of stress, hardships, criticisms and pain, you will become“perfect and complete, lacking nothing” (1:4).

7. Get ready for the double portion.Suffering is a prerequisite for sonship. Only true sons inherit theFather’s estate. Jesus was willing to suffer and become “obedient to thepoint of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highlyexalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the nameof Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, andof those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that JesusChrist is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Phil. 2:8-11). JesusChrist, the true Son of God, became the heir of all things and inherited HisFather’s estate. It is the same for us: “If we endure, we shall also reignwith Him” (2 Tim. 2:12). This is what obedient endurance does: giving usthe sonship to inherit the double portion.

Ultimately, God’s purpose of Job’s suffering was to qualify him for the doubleportion. True enough, God doubled all his possessions. He was blessed with14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 oxen, and 1,000 donkeys (42:10-12). He wasblessed with ten other children (42:13-14). God then doubled his length of daysby adding another 140 years (70 x 2) to his life. Moreover, Job became God’sexample of obedient perseverance for all eternity.

Like Job, it is one thing to be blameless but quite another to be broken untothe Lord. True maturity is the absolute abandonment to God and His will. Whenthere is no capacity for obedient endurance, we are not yet ready for the doubleportion. If you are going through a period of intense suffering, wisely doeverything you possibly can to overcome it. And having done all, hold on steadyand stand before the Lord in faith (Eph. 6:13). Obediently endure through thefire, trial, pain, disappointment, sickness, financial lack and persecution byfaith. God is working out something beautiful in your life.

1. Thou shalt give thy heart to Christ. Let Him be at the top of thy Christmas list

2. Thou shalt prepare thy soul for Christmas. Spend not so much on gifts that thy soul is forgotten.

3. Thou shalt not let Santa Claus replace Christ, thus robbing the day of its spiritual reality.

4. Thou shalt not burden the shop girl, the mailman, and the merchant with complaints and demands.

5. Thou shalt givethyself with thy gift. This will increase its value a hundred fold, andhe who receiveth it shall treasure it forever.

6. Thou shalt notvalue gifts received by their cost. Even the least expensive maysignify love, and that is more priceless than silver and gold.

7. Thou shalt not neglect the needy. Share thy blessings with many who will go hungry and cold unless thou are generous.

8. Thou shalt not neglect thy church. Its services highlight the true meaning of the season.

9. Thou shalt be as alittle child. Not until thou has become in spirit as a little one artthou ready to enter into the kingdom of Heaven.

10. Thou shall not forget to share your joy, peace and faith with those around you.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS   

Letter from Jesus about Christmas

It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are taking My name out of the season.

       How I personally feel about this celebration can probably be most easily understood by those of you who have been blessed with children of your own. I don’t care what you call the day.

         If you want to celebrate My birth, just GET ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

       Now, having said that let Me go on. If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn’t allow a scene depicting My birth, then just get rid of a couple of Santas and snowmen and put in a small Nativity scene on your own front lawn If all My followers did that there wouldn’t be any need for such a scene on the town square because there would be many of them all around town.

         Stop worrying about the fact that people are calling the tree a holiday tree, instead of a Christmas tree. It was I who made all trees. You can remember Me anytime you see any tree. Decorate a grape vine if you wish: I actually spoke of that one in a teaching, explaining who I am in relation to you and what each of our tasks were. If you have forgotten that one, look up John 15: 1 – 8.

             If you want to give Me a present in remembrance of My birth here is my wish list. Choose something from it:

My Wish List :-

1. Instead of writing protest letters objecting to the way My birthday is being celebrated, write letters of love and hope to soldiers away from home. They are terribly afraid and lonely this time of year. I know, they tell Me all the time.

2. Visit someone in a nursing home. You don’t have to know them personally. They just need to know that someone cares about them.

3. Instead of writing the President complaining about the wording on the cards his staff sent out this year, why don’t you write and tell him that you’ll be praying for him and his family this year. Then follow up… It will be nice hearing from you again.

4. Instead of giving your children a lot of gifts you can’t afford and they don’t need, spend time with them. Tell them the story of My birth, and why I came to live with you down here. Hold them in your arms and remind them that I love them.

5. Pick someone that has hurt you in the past and forgive him or her.

6. Did you know that someone in your town will attempt to take their own life this season because they feel so alone and hopeless? Since you don’t know who that person is, try giving everyone you meet a warm smile; it could make the difference.

7. Instead of nit picking about what the retailer in your town calls the holiday, be patient with the people who work there. Give them a warm smile and a kind word. Even if they aren’t allowed to wish you a “Merry Christmas” that doesn’t keep you from wishing them one.

8. If you really want to make a difference, support a missionary–especially one who takes My love and Good News to those who have never heard My name.

9. Here’s a good one. There are individuals and whole families in your town who not only will have no “Christmas” tree, but neither will they have any presents to give or receive. If you don’t know them, buy some food and a few gifts and give them to the Salvation Army or some other charity which believes in Me and they will make the delivery for you.

10. Finally, if you want to make a statement about your belief in and loyalty to Me, then behave like a Christian. Don’t do things in secret that you wouldn’t do in My presence. Let people know by your actions that you are one of mine. Don’t forget; I am God and can take care of Myself. Just love Me and do what I have told you to do. I’ll take care of all the rest.

Check out the list above and get to work; time is short. I’ll help you, but the ball is now in your court. And do have a most blessed Christmas with all those whom you love and remember.

I LOVE YOU,

                            - JESUS

asking my opinion or thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday. But I noticed you were too busy, trying to find the right outfit to wear. When youran around the house getting ready, I knew there would be a few minutes for youto stop and say hello, but you were too busy.

          At one point you had to wait, fifteen minutes with nothing to do except sitin a chair. Then I saw you spring to your feet. I thought you wanted to talk tome but you ran to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip instead. I watched patiently all day long. With all your activities I guess you were too busy to say any thing to me. I noticed that before lunch you looked around, may be you felt embarrassed to talk to me, that is why you didn't bow your head. You glanced three or four tables over and you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before they ate, but  you didn't. That's okay.There is still more time left, and I hope that you will talk to me yet. You went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do.

     After a few of them were done, you turned on the TV. I don't know if you like TV or not, just about anything goes there and you spend a lot of time eachday in front of it not thinking about anything, just enjoying the show. I waited patiently again as you watched the TV and ate your meal, but again you didn't talk to me.

      Bed time I guess you felt too tired. After you said goodnight to your family you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time. That's okay because you maynot realize that I am always there for you. I've got patience, more than you will ever know. I even want to teach you how to be patient with others as well.I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer or thought or athankful part of your heart. It is hard to have a one-sided conversation.

      Well, you are getting up once again. And once again I will wait, with nothing but love for you. Hoping that today you will give me some time.

Have a nice day!

            Love,

            Jesus.

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole

valley. A large crowd gathered and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it.

Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen. The young man was very proud and boasted

more loudly about his beautiful heart.

Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said, "Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine."

The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was beating strongly, but full of scars, it had places

where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn't fit quite right and there were several jagged

edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing. The people stared -- how can he

say his heart is more beautiful, they thought?

The young man looked at the old man's heart and saw its state and laughed. "You must be joking," he said. "Compare your

heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears." "Yes," said the old man, "yours is perfect

looking but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love - I tear

out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart which fits into the empty

place in my heart, but because the pieces aren't exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind

me of the love we shared.

Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his heart to me. These

are the empty gouges -- giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me

of the love I have for these people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do

you see what true beauty is?"

The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect

young and beautiful heart, and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands. The old man took

his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the

young man's heart. It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges. The young man looked at his heart, not

perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man's heart flowed into his. They embraced and

walked away side by side.

PREM SWAROOP MINISTRIES

INDIA

A time of year

To think of  love and sharing

A time of peace

For the whole world to cherish

A time to be with all your friends and family

And wish them all

A Merry Christmas

Making angles in the snow

or sliding down a hill

roasting chestnuts on the fire

takes away the chill

Candy canes and mistletoe

and grand-ma’s home made pie

Ginger bread and hot co-co

You know it’s Christmas time

Seasons come and seasons pass

but we still remember

the joy we shared on Christmas last

looking forward  to next December

Flowers bloom, then pumpkins grow,

then suddenly it starts to snow.

Then our hearts are young again

You know it’s Christmas time.

On Christmas eve

Santa will soon  be coming

with lots of toys

for girls and boys to play with.

To see their eyes sparkle like stars above

is all we need for a Merry Christmas….

So live your life with kindness and love in your heart

and you’ll always have a merry Christmas.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU

Christmas Poem : Visions Past

The Christmas tree was real

That heavy tinsel, special feel

So many lights, in sparkling view

Glass ornaments, hung neatly too

An angel perched, atop it all

Seen shining down, it did not fall

The tree was watered in its stand

It’s special smell, came on so grand

Nativity, was always perched

In middle window, all would search

Side windows dressed with candlelight

I’d check the view, from sidewalk sight

All was right, this child felt sure

That special time, lived in his door

I thank you God, for visions past

Which come alive, to hold and grasp

All of us have great dreams and ambitions. God is notagainst our dreams and ambitions. It is His desire to fulfill them according toHis plans.

When there is a delay in seeing our dreams fulfilled, many tend to becomediscouraged. And when things begin to happen contrary to our plans, many doubt Godsgoodness and promises.

There is a beautiful verse in the Bible where God says, �I know the plans Ihave for you. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you afuture and a hope.�1

We remember the time when we were searching for an office space. For months, wecould not find the right one. One time we found a good office space that suitsus well in our neighborhood; but it was not meant for rent out.

Meanwhile, we were planning to sell off our car. So we were in constant contactwith different car sales executives. One particular Monday, we had to travel toa distant place early in the morning. But it so happened that some salesexecutive had mistakenly kept our car documents in his office drawer afterinspecting the car. It happened on Saturday and Sunday was a holiday. He couldgive the documents back only on Monday by 9 a.m. Hence we had to cancel ourtrip.

Though slightly annoyed, we decided to go for a walk around our neighborhoodthat Monday morning. As we were walking, we saw a for Rent poster hanging infront of an office. Immediately we contacted the owner and the deal was setwithin a few hours. Amazingly, that was exactly the same office space we foundmonths back but was not meant for rent out then!

The owner told us that he had placed  forRent poster on Sunday night and the very next morning, we saw it and contactedhim. If we had traveled that Monday as planned earlier, we would not have seenthe poster and we would not have gotten that wonderful office where we are inright now!

Don’t write your dreams off just because you haven’t found the right way to fulfillthem. The issues you may be facing today can turn into miracles when you giveit into God’s hands. Every miracle that Jesus did was an issue for somebodybefore He intervened in their lives!

Once Jesus told His disciples, what is impossible for people are possiblewith God.�2 God wants you to have a great life. He wants toprosper you in your career, family, business, education and society. He wantsyou to enjoy good relationships. He wants you to live healthy. He has goodplans for your future. You may not be seeing that now. But believe in Hispromises found in the Bible. Give yourself into His hands so that He will giveyou a brand new beginning and a great future!

We are here to help you see that happen in yourlife. Call or E-mail us so that we may help you further.
