[JOYnet] Decision
Hi, everybody, I'm having a problem with a decision I have to make. There is a rock show tomorrow and my friends are going. I dont know if it's real rock or just normal dance music and they're calling it rock. It's an Indian group. According to the discussions on rock music we have had , I wouldn't want to go. But my friends really want me to go with them. I've told them I want to go to my Local Guardians house and that's why I cant go(which I do). I havent told them the main reason. I guess the decision is quite obvious but could you give some advice, generally? Thanks. Rosemary (Goa) This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Set your desire on my words; long for them;and you will be instructed - Wis. 6/11
Dear all Yesterday Ron and me had a good chat with each other and he told me that he was planning to go for a movie and that his friend had already gone to get tickets for the show.So I told him I would also like to come and he told that he would ask him to get more when his friend calls up. I told okay and went to see Fr.Johnson and when I came back I told Ron that I had to go for prayer.But he told me that his friend had called up and he had asked him to get the extra tickets. So now I had to go for the prayer as well as for the movie. Ron told me that if god wills God will get the tickets. I too submitted and told Lord as a friend Hey I do not want to go and Please do not get it for me. I waited on him and praised the Lord since Ron's friend did not even call him.We prayed and shared till 10.30 PM. So what I want to make clear is that Jesus knows our needs all you have to do is to submit to him. As we were chatting I lost my ring rosary but could not find it and I remarked If god wants me to have it he will give it to me.Ron had a special guidance from Holy Spirit and I got the Ring through Ron.Praise Lord We saw a mail from Rosemary and I gave her the above reply. Praise the Lord.As I was mailing her I got confirmation from God. A mail from Thomas Chettan was a confirmation from God. 15-2-2002(Friday) Set your desire on my words; long for them; and you will be instructed. - Wis. 6/11 Today morning I went for mass and I was pretty confused about an action which I think I had done. I do not think I did it purposely but I was sorry and I asked Lord to take care. I then had a small prayer and told Jesus that I cannot live purely without receiving him. So he told me a thing 'I died on the cross of calvary for your sins and your confusions' and praised the Lord since I was having the best of my times with the Lord today. I went to the church in the afternoon and Fr.Sunny was taking a class on confession.I was planning for a confession I could hear the first two things to get a good confession. I will mail the excerpts in the next mail. with love in Jesus mary and Joseph shobith coimbatore _ Join SQAtester.com Community --- http://www.sqatester.com/testersarea/joinus.htm This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] serious?
Dear friends, It is something thats been on my mind for long which i am going to discuss with you all. Our Lord,Jesus died for our sins, to save us.. In society(well mine i could say) when a person accepts jesus christ as his saviour...he is expected to look sombre..dead serious..almost a dead zombie.. I love jesus..I am HAPPY that he died for me...God says so to me ..but the genearal christian population around me says a diffrent thing...you got to be serious..you got to be sorry..coz it is due to your sins..Jesus is up on the cross.. What i feel is that...God wants you to be happy with the notion that our Lord Jesus died for our sins...not to be sad or sombre.. what about it?? correct me if iam wrong Yours in Christ for ever, Roshan Mathew VergheseGet more from the Web.

[JOYnet] Life changing checkpoints
Dear Friends, Take time to read this and check your life. This has helped me a lot to hope for better days ahead, in the Lord. Your's in Christ Jesus, Biji James, Bangalore Life Changing Checkpoints Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious thoughts; and see if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way. Psalm 139:23-24 When you're thinking about the changing times and the calendar pages that seem to turn too eagerly, what boggles your mind the most? Is it how old you're getting? How big the kids have grown? Or is it what God is doing in your life? As we settle into the new millennium, we have to guard against settling into complacency. The only way to do that is to ask ourselves a scary question. And we have to ask it repeatedly. How is knowing Jesus Christ changing my life? Before you can reach out to others in the name of love, you have to grow in your understanding of love. Before you can devote more energy to sharing the life-changing message of Christ with someone else, you have to make sure your life is being changed by His message of hope, healing, and forgiveness. Our lives shouldn't just contrast the lives we led before coming to know the Lord. They should be different from the lives we led last year and the year before that. As we grow, we change. But the issue is: Are we growing? Last month, many of us made the same New Year's resolutions we've made in years past. But have we ever questioned ourselves why? Why is it that we seem to resolve over and over again to read our Bible more, take better care of our health, or start spending more time with our families than we do at work? Maybe it's because we are trying to change the outward appearance of our lives without asking Jesus Christ to change us inside. If we're honest about wanting to change areas we know God wants to overhaul, we must all come to the same conclusion: I can't do it. It's a humbling thing to admit: We cannot change ourselves. No amount of programs, books, or Bible studies are going to do the work in our hearts than only Jesus Christ can do. So where does that leave us? Exactly where God wants us. When we're ready to let go of our ways and our coping mechanisms, we see that it's impossible to inflict change on ourselves or on anyone else apart from the supernatural work of God. Often, it's letting go that proves more difficult than running forward. So if you're serious about experiencing real inward change this year, take a few minutes to stop. Ask God to reveal to you the ways He wants to work in your life. Ask Him to show you the areas He wants to change, and the areas He has already changed. A spiritual checkpoint isn't something we do at the beginning of the year and then wait until we hear the chorus of Aude Lang Syne before resuming again. It's something we can do daily, and weekly, to give up control and let the Lord change in us what we cannot. When you discover God's vision for how He wants to impart new habits and views to you . . . Keep praying. Ask Him to use specific experiences, Scripture, and people to change the way you view Him, the way you view obedience, and the way you view yourself and others. It's after we're in the habit of asking ourselves the first scary question that we can begin asking ourselves the second one: How are the changes of Jesus Christ in my life affecting the lives of others? Maybe God has birthed in you a vision to love others by serving them. Maybe He has given you an idea for a particular ministry in your church, or even a personal ministry such as befriending the neighbor no one else likes. Whatever the method, God most certainly will call you to live radically. Some will misunderstand; others will discourage you. Still there will be some who get it: God is in the business of change. That change will come about as the body of Christ lets Christ into the places we've not dared opened before. When we are willing as individuals and as a corporate body to invite the Lord's revelation into the darkest places of our lives, His light will be able to shine brightly through us to a world that desperately looks in all the wrong places for transformation. The amazing thing about conducting spiritual checkpoints in your life is that it's nearly impossible for them not to have an impact on someone else's life too. Copyright © 2002 IN TOUCH MINISTRIES.

[JOYnet] TRUE COLOR OF A CHRISTIAN
Dear Friends, Wait until they get hurt and their true color will come out. For example fasting which is an effective means of sacrifice is done more out of conceit to gain the praise of others and not to actually repair for ones sins. Once the person gets week, hungry, and sick he stops fasting altogether. This is also true for almsgiving. Unfortunately not all fasting and almsgiving are done with real generosity. Only when giving becomes painful, when the self begins to hurt, does almsgiving become authentic. In the case of obeying Gods will it should not only be done for as long as it is honorable and convenient. When misfortune hits us and we are left homeless, hungry, without money, and abandoned by our very own kin then also we should obey Gods will. (See the example of Job) Lastly, the true color of a Christian is tested when perfection of ones duty is demanded. A married woman continues to be a loving mother and a dutiful wife 24 Hours a day because she has said in sickness or in health, in good times and in bad. . The same applies to the religious who must remain faithful to his vows regardless of whether life inside the congregation is hell or not. No ifs or buts. It is to God that he has committed himself and not man. (Fr.

[JOYnet] What money means to Christians
Dear friends in christ, It is an interesting article in a leading US financial online site (www.marketwatch.com). It discusses about what money means to Christians with views of Father Benedict Groeschel. Nice one to read during lent. Love, Sunil Kumar Nadarajan Chicago, USA Fulfilling responsibilities before God -- What money means to Christians By Thomas Kostigen, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 12:10 AM ET Feb. 14, 2002 LOS ANGELES (CBS.MW) -- It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God. Matthew 19 That's a bold assertion considering there are more than a billion Catholics in the world who might believe that as the word of God. More than 300 million Christians as well, represented by 85 sects, also might believe that New Testament scripture. What with our global society turning more toward a system of riches for everyone, dire consequences seem to be forthcoming. Yet there is a balance, even if Matthew also says, You cannot serve both God and money. The most frequently discussed topic, or the topic the apostles and gospel writers wished to address most in the New Testament is money. It is referenced more than any other item, according to Biblical scholars. Why? Commercialism and trade proliferated in the Ancient World. Such values brought by commerce -- greed, sloth and gluttony -- were to be rejected. Hence, the coming of the savior, Jesus Christ. Today, there is still greed, sloth and gluttony. The workings of capitalism breed such destructive forces. Yet the Christian way to work within this framework isn't to reject money and capitalism, it's to do unto others as they would do unto you. Of course, when competition is involved, that maxim becomes complex. It calls into question modern ethics. For some real answers to ethical questions about money in the context of Christianity, I turn to one of the men the world's largest religion turns to: Father Benedict Groeschel. A means to an end - As director of the Office for Spiritual Development of the Archdiocese of New York, Father Benedict is considered a spiritual guide. He founded the Franciscan Friars of the renewal in the South Bronx, and is a professor at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers. The author of some 14 books on the spirit, he specializes and lectures widely on Christian ethics. Money is a means to an end, it's never an end to itself, he says. Money is the opportunity to have goods or abilities, or even powers, to help other people fulfill their responsibility before God and to have a decent life, and to fulfill one's own responsibilities before God. If anyone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need and refuses to help, how can God's love be in that person? John 3:17 When possession of God becomes a goal in itself, it is, as St. Paul said, 'the root of all evil.' I realize that I'm saying this in a capitalist society. And I don't mean this to apply as a political or economic system. I think any system can be corrupted by greed. In a kind of secular idealism, the very early Marxists thought they were going to take the very motive of greed and possession and power out of money. And they managed to create one of the greatest catastrophes in human history. You know, what they attempted to do in their classless society without wealth, what they managed to create was an extremely militaristic culture that destroyed people because they had no money to protect themselves. Money is a protection of the poor. So if you ask me, in my honest opinion, a moderated capitalism, which keeps from becoming complete piracy, is probably what works best. But it's not some great ideal, Father Benedict says. [Jesus] told him: Go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me. Mark 10: 21 In other words, give up all your possessions and you will be saved? I'm a disciple of Saint Augustine, and he never thought human history was going to be more than a mixed bag . . . [So] I don't look for the perfect system. I think there should be a free but vibrant system of responsibility for the poor who are cared for by the public system and to some degree by the private sector. But I must say that a society will always have the very poor, the humanly indigent kind of people who can't make it in the system, particularly if we have a system based on volunteerism. In a system of serfdom, you can fit everybody in, even if there is one guy whose job it is just to talk to the horses. In a free system, people are going to fall to the bottom. I'd say this is between 3 and 4 percent of any decent society. Next, you have the poor who can help themselves. This is the group of people who have often done well in the American system. People who get off the boat with little more than the shirt on their back. This accounts for maybe 10 percent of the

[JOYnet] Tell satan Where To Go
Tell satan Where To Go MATTHEW 4:10 NLT 10 Get out of here, Satan, Jesus told him. For the Scriptures say, 'You must worship the Lord your God; serve only him.' Jesus spoke directly to the devil -- and so must you. Many Christians think they should pray about the devil and ask God to deliver them from his attacks. But the Bible is clear -- God has given the authority to believers to resist the devil. You must control the devil, or he will control you! Unless you exercise the authority delegated to you by Jesus Christ, the devil will wreak havoc in your life, and everywhere he is allowed to. LUKE 10:19 NKJ 19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Praying to God to stop the devil's operations is no different than my son asking me to take out the trash, after I have told him to do it. God told us to resist the devil and he would flee. We must believe and act on God's Word. EPHESIANS 4:27 NKJ 27 nor give place to the devil. Would God tell us not to let the devil have any place, if we had no say about it? If the devil does have a place in our affairs, it's because we allowed it. JAMES 4:7 NKJ 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. We must first submit to God, because we are not greater in power than the devil. But submitted to God in Christ Jesus, the devil must back off when we resist him and his works. SAY THIS: In the Name of Jesus, I command you devil to leave me, my family, and my property alone! Be gone!
