[JOYnet] Can you be really happy today?-Achayan
How can you be happy today?-Achayan August15th-Indias Independence Day from the British. 50+ years on, look at our country. Hi guys, can you be really, truly be happy, and celebrate this day with joy? Look at the state of affairs in our motherland now, 1.Total, carnal, blatant corruption of the nation starting from the political leaders, beurocrats, govt.employees, military men, police, church leaders, doctors- you name it. Without bribery can you gat anything done today? 2.Violence, cruelty-abounding lawlessness. (Let me quote the market rate of Cochin gundas-mafia charges-Chopping one leg cost Rs750, two legs Rs1250, Chopping one hand Rs1000, Two hands Rs 1500, Chopping head Rs 3-5000- Police protection, political protection and bottles of liquor included in the package!!!) 3. Widespread Immoral activities-prostitution. 4.selfishness, hatred, love of self, love of money, love of pleasure. 5.Apostasy, blasphemy, false Gods-Deceiving many faithful believers 6.Poverty, misery all around 7.Persecution of Christians by the RSS, VHP and others And many more And do you feel pride in this? I dont. What a degeneration of Human character! (Anti Christ may not be a person, but all the evil and moral defects against Christ, is Anti Christ) Hi young guys, Achayan doesnt want to depress you today, but want you to open your eyes and dont get carried away. What we can do today is PRAY FOR INDIA. Achayan ** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Thank You...
Dear Family, Thank you for your wishes & prayers on this day. Being an achayan in the family I am more happy to see the notes from my brothers / sisters and 'kochumakkals'. A few of you asked me of my age. Achayan is very old and just stepping to "Shashiapoorthi". So Valliachayan's age is not a big concern. Once again thanks a lot for your care. love n prayers, Josachayan / Saudi Arabia ** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
Sorry guys, that was just the start earlier, here's the full thing. Dear All, It was the night of 14th August 1997, Indians all over were celebrating 50 years of Indian Independance. I was working in Kuwait then, but happened to be on vacation that time. I was all set to make a grand celebration, starting late in the evg. Started out with friends and went to a bar. Finished at one place and then went to another bar. We were boozing, even as it was midnight and there was shouting and dancing all around. India completes 50 years of freedom. Finally when I reached my building I was drunk, but not enough to go home and sleep. So I stood on the road and began acting like a 'bhai' - that's the Mumbai word for a gangster. I stopped and confronted a cab driver and then a car driver. The car driver was about to charge on me, but I managed to keep things restricted to words and not action. The night finally ended and it was the morning of 15th August. As I recollected, I couldn't believe what had happened last night and thought that it should have been a bad dream. But it wasn't and it was a fact. I was terribly ashamed of myself and also knew that God had protected me that night inspite of my acts. That was the time I decided to quit drinking. I knew I couldn't do it and so I stepped down from whisky to beer before I quit. It was around a year later in July '98 that I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour and committed myself to him. I was under the bondage of booze and God set me free. 4 years back was the beginning of my independence from alcohol. God has given me freedom from a sinful life and I praise His name by the following verses: But thanks be to God! For though at one time you were slaves to sin, you have obeyed with all your heart the truths found in the teaching you received. You were SET FREE FROM SIN and became the slaves of righteousness. At one time you surrendered yourselves entirely as slaves to impurity and wickedness for wicked purposes. In the same way you must now surrender yourselves enitrely as slaves of righteousness for holy purposes. When you were slaves of sin, you were free from righteousness. What did you gain from doing the things you are now ashamed of? The result of those things is death. But now you have been set free from sin and are slaves of God. Your gain is a life fully dedicated to Him and the result is eternal life. (Romans 5:17-22) Praise Jesus that He has given us freedom from the slavery of sin. Even as we celebrate the Indian Independence day, may God give us victory over the evil one so that we will be true overcomers through Christ alone. God Bless George Fernandes. ** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] PRAISING AND THANKING GOD REVEALS HIS POWER
Dear Friends, PRAISING AND THANKING GOD REVEALS HIS POWER During one of the retreats which I attended I heard the preacher saying if any one of you had a good job in the past and right now has no job. Thank God the days when He blessed you with a good job and also the blessings you received when you had this job and also thank God that right now you are suffering without a job and then tell all your sufferings to God and pray to God to fill you with His Holy Spirit. You will see the power of God when you praise and thank Him all the more. These sentences touched me and I felt like thanking God in this way for my problems and I felt the power of our Lord Jesus Christ. I would like to share few of my experiences. I was one of them who had no job at that time and unemployment brought many other problems in my life. My relationship with my relatives was getting affected. There was need for money for family expenses. So I thanked God for the good days when I had a good job and all the problems I did not suffer which I was suffering at that moment. I thought of all blessings I received from Abba Father when I had this job and I also thanked God for the unemployment problem and all pains I was going through at that moment and telling and giving it to Lord Jesus all my sufferings, hurts and sadness. Very soon I got a job and all the blessings which I received when I was working in the past I got back the same blessing back. Praise you Father, Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit Lord. Last Christmas I just could not think of buying new clothes because the income we get is just sufficient for all our expenses. I thought of the good days just four years back I received bonus before Christmas and my mom forced me to buy a saree which costed Rs.3000. I thought of those days and thanked God for his mighty blessings which I never thanked Him at that time and I also thought of the present situation where I could not buy new clothes and thanked God. One good thing I learnt was that I should never waste so much of money only on myself and think of the others who cannot afford to buy clothes and I also thanked God for this revelation. I kept on praising and thanking God that this Christmas my concentration will not be clothes and other odds things. One side the evil one was making me feel sad that I could not buy new clothes for Christmas and I was giving this sadness to Lord Jesus and telling Him Lord I love you and thank for allowing all this in my life to prune me and make a better person. Just one day before Christmas I found a grand saree on the bed and when I asked my mom she said Lord Jesus has given you new clothes for Christmas and gave it through your aunt. I found the price tag and checked and found the price of the saree to be Rs.3000. Praise and thank you Abba Father, Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit Lord. Just few months back I had few hundred rupees notes in my purse and after the prayer service I went to leave my grandmother in her house. Since she is 80 years old trying to hold her with all caution that she should not fall I missed my pursue and only when I came back home I realized that I had lost my pursue. I went back and searched on the road and could not find it. The money I had in my pursue was to run the house hold expenses for one week. Though I felt so miserable and sad I just started thanking God the time when this money was safe with me and also thanked God that I had lost it and it was no more with me and asked Lord Jesus if it was His will to get back the purse or provide me for the week. All the miserable feeling I gave that night to Lord Jesus and I kept on thanking and praising God for a long time. The very next morning my servant maid who works in my house and my grandmothers house said that the purse was found by the neighbour and gave it to my grand mother this morning. Not a rupee was lost. Praise and thanks to Abba Father, Lord Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit Lord. Recently past two months my mom and myself had been planning to go to Vellankanni Our Ladys Church at Nagapatinam but each month some expense would fall and we could never think of making the trip. I just thanked God the days when we had no problem going to this church and the number of trips we made and right now also thanked God the blocks that were coming each month not allowing us to go for the trip. We gave our plans and desires to Lord Jesus and to Mother Mary and could not believe that last week we went to Vellankanni the trip which was arranged by our parish priest and my aunt who meet all our expenses. It was a free trip for us with no expense. Praise and thanks to Abba Father, Lord Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit Lord. FOR NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD. LORD WILL DO BIG THINGS FOR US. GIVE THANKS TO GOD IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD. PRAISING AND THANKING GOD AT THE TIME OF SUFFERING, OPENS HEAVENS FOR MIGHTY

[JOYnet] Confession-Achayan
Confession-Achayan Unlike most of you guys, Achayan, is very shy to make confession to the priest you know well. So I was looking for a chance to make a clean, good, honest confession. I was visiting a college hostel where there was a retreat going on. The retreat priest announced, there are two priests available for confession. So I decided to do my confession. When I reached the confession room, one side there was a big queue, and the other side, hardly any one. So i asked one of the students, why not we join the other side. He replied, Achayao, join our queue, priest sitting here is tooo old. and he is hard of hearing, where as the other side, its our warden. I must admit; I also joined the long que, and made a real good confession. Your last confession, was it complete and honest ** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Is charisatic renewal loosing heat?Achayan
Is charismatic renewal loosing its heat? -Achayan Achayan is attending the charismatic prayer meetings for the last 10 years, regularly. In the last year or so we find the numbers of faithful declining in our prayer meetings. We dont know is it the trend all over? or just where we are. As in any prayer meeting we too have little problems, which are trivial. mostly at the core group level. Now, we find the faithful lay people are more interested in the Eucharistic centered prayer meetings. When there is Holy Mass the church is full. We find the priests in our area are least interested or even discourage the prayer group activities. In its peak time, in early 90s, the parish priest once made an announcement, that you attend only one prayer meeting a week, not all the meetings!! He was afraid. Even the Bishop was once annoyed with the Loud sound of the praising going on in the church, when he was visiting this parish- which is only once a year, and was not getting a good sleep after a drunken dinner party with the parish priests Achayan feel that these Shepards are interested to run the churches (Christ-less) as a corporate management, make a good profit, least bothered about the spiritual well beings of the poor flocks. Achayan is not generalizing everyone, but when one sees unjust, one has to speak up. I pray, that Lord forgive me, if by writing this, hurt anyones feelings Please pray for the Prayer group in Manama, Bahrain. ** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
