Re: [JOYnet] Blessings in Singapore
Dear friends, Thank you very much for your prayers - Attended the JY program in Singapore on Saturday and Sunday It was really a wonderful experience. Those two days were the happiest days in my life after coming to Malaysia. Our Lord Jesus was abundantly showering his love upon me, through all JYs there. I am really wondering, how they became so much loving disciples of our Lord, within a very short span of time. Though Dexon was the only person whom I knew before, not even for a fraction of a second I felt like a stranger there. For instance, when I was trying to carry a heavy bench alone, one of them scolded me like a loving mother, Saju, dont you want to go back to Malaysia? It is very heavy ; dont carry it alone. See, how they care for others, with such a maternal affection. Especially, I feel proud of having Dexon as my friend. For many days, he was literally not sleeping since he was very busy in connection with the program. Still, he found time to be with me, though he ! was so tired, running without rest for many days. The program was marvelous, with enlightening talks, touching skits and music reaching deep into the hearts and prompting for changes. Above all, there was a ready smile on everybodys face, having not even a mild touch of artificiality, but originated from heart. Nearly 300 youth attended it. I am sure, most of us got a tender touch of our Lord during the program, and many of us took a life long commitment to live for & with our Lord. Dear Singapore friends, I miss all of you. Now I feel like a child returned to the hostel, after spending a short vacation at his home. But we know, all of us- all JYs- are bonded to each other with the strong chords of Jesuss love, even if we go to two extreme ends of the world. I am sure, our good Lord will help us to see the sprouting and growth of Jesus youth in Malaysia too, as he has showered his blessings in Singapore. Please keep Malaysia too in your prayers. Also, please say one decade of a rosary for Malaysia JY, daily if possible. With love and prayers, Saju P.J, Malaysia - Get a bigger mailbox -- choose a size that fits your needs.

[JOYnet] "Parable Of The Rose"
Dear Friends, "PARABLE OF THE ROSE" A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and before it was ready to bloom, it died. So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose: The God-like qualities planted in us at birth growing amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects. We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential. Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns and find the rose within others. This is the characteristic of loveto look at a person and know their true faults. Accepting that person into your life, while recognizing the nobility in their soul. Help them to realize that they can overcome their faults. If we show them the rose, they will conquer their thorns. Only then will they blossom many times over. _ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] On Pranic Healing
Hi Some time back there was some discussions on occult practices like pranic healing. There were some questions whether it's good or bad. I got this article from Shalom. If you have a little time visit http://www.shalomprayer.org/tidings Thanks Giju Chennai/India THE CHAKRAS IN THE OCCULT Annie Beasant is widely known as the person who was responsible for building a common agenda in India and Europe about the freedom struggle. She was well known as the co-founder of the Benares Hindu University and the Theosophical Society. It was she who rendered a theoretical explanation for the mysterious and philosophical branch of occultism, which did not have any particular theoretical basis till then, and made it generally acceptable to the modern world. The word 'Occultism' means mysterious, magical, paranormal, etc. Something that is inaccessible to the ordinary people, esoteric knowledge made available only to a selected few, the way to obtain and practice it, etc are some other meanings that may be given to the word 'occultism'. Till the twentieth century, occult groups worked very secretly. Only those prepare specially and conduct certain rituals can enter such groups. Interacting with the divine through divine knowledge, transcendental power, contact with the spirit world, understanding the secret of creation and life, etc are the objects of these occult organizations. Almost all occult organizations believe in reincarnation. Many are attracted to the occult by the healings and miracles done using occult power. People who yearn for transcendental and extraordinary experiences are easily carried away by such philosophies. In the modern world occult knowledge is being proliferated as Metaphysics, Parapsychology, Theosophy, Transcendental Knowledge, Eastern Mysticism, Alterative Medicine, etc. Occult literature and meditation courses have turned into big businesses exploiting the uncertainty and void present in the modern man's life. As the occult has exposed itself to the world, unlike to that of the last century, the name itself has lost its significance. Occultism can be called as an unscientific science or an unspiritual spirituality. All occult knowledge is based on the 'chakras' of the human body. Through the seven energy centers, from the basic chakra (Kundalini is said to be asleep here) located at the base of the spine to the crown chakra located at the crown of the head, we not only obtain healing and other mystical experiences but also enter the mystical outer world distinct from the natural. If the Kundalini is awakened and rises from the basic chakra to the crown chakra we attain enlightenment. We would become another Buddha. Then there would not be any difference between God and us. Or simply, I am God. Today's people are attracted to occultism through the occult treatment methods. Gem therapy, Rudraksha therapy, Pranic healing, Reiki, Crystal healing, Astral therapy and Aromatherapy are the major occult treatment methods. The basic theory of these treatment methods is that the chakras in the body and the energy body around the physical body can be healed by the energy from other human bodies, rudraksha, gems and certain planets. Occult philosophy teaches that the activation of the energy centers that control and energize the vital organs of the body would lead to spiritual contentment and complete physical healing. It is true that every object has an energy body and a magnetic centre. But it is doubtful about its ability to heal. For instance let us consider Pranic Healing. The theory that it is due to the damage in the energy body around the physical body that causes illness is absolutely wrong. It is equal to saying that the absence of light extinguished the fire. Actually it is because the fire was put out that the light died out. Similarly we wouldn't say that because the leaves dried, the roots of the plant died. Here the treatment is to be done for the roots and not for the leaves. When the root gains life the leaves become healthy. Similarly it is a physical ailment that causes depletion or pores in the energy body. Therefore a healing through the strengthening or recovering of the energy body by means of another person's life force without treating the physical problem would not stay. Consider headache that may occur due to a number of reasons. When a headache occurs due to gas trouble, nervous problem, eye sickness, etc. resulting in a crack to the energy body around the body, would the physical body or the energy body be treated? When the physical body gets healed the energy body would also recover. Energy body does not need a separate treatment. Then what about the healing got through Pranic healing? Healing may occur through the many sessions of counseling, faith building advices and prayer. But in the healing sessions conducted by people like Mr.Choa Kok Sui, the propounder of Pranic healing, and others occult power is used. They have made it clear through their books that
[JOYnet] How to carry your burden
How To Carry Your Burden Many times in life we get caught up with life's troubles and tend to forget to lend a helping hand to someone else in need. The enemy of hell tries hard to get us to only think of ourselves and not be helping toward others indeed, but that is exactly the opposite of how God wishes for us to act. Jesus said by loving and caring for others, all people will know that we are His disciples. We are to love and be caring towards all who are in need and in doing so, our inner light will shine and all will see the love of God through our lives. (Luke 6:35-36) (Matthew 5:16) If you are ever discouraged from helping other people because you think it will interfere with your life, then I hope this message will change your thinking and you will know that only in helping others will you gain the strength to help yourself and carry the burden of your own life. (Galatians 6:2-10) HOW TO CARRY YOUR BURDEN A monarch of long ago had twin sons. There was some confusion about which one was born first. As they grew to young manhood, the king sought a fair way to designate one of them as crown prince. All who knew the young men thought them equal in intelligence, wit, personal charm, health, and physical strength. Being a keenly observant king, he thought he detected a traitin one which was not shared by the other. Calling them to his council chamber one day, he said, "My sons, the day will come when one of you must succeed me as king. The burdens of sovereignty are very heavy. To find out which of you is better able to bearthem cheerfully, I am sending you together to a far corner of the kingdom. One of my advisors there will place equal burdens on your shoulders. My crown will one day go to the one who first returns bearing hisburden like a king should." In a spirit of friendly competition, the brothers set out together. They overtook an aged woman struggling under a burden that seemed far too heavy for her frail body. One of the boys suggested that they stop to help her. The other protested: "We have a burden of our own to worry about. Let us be on our way." The objector hurried on while the other stayed behind to give aid to the aged woman. Along the road, from day to day, he found others who also needed help. A blind man took him miles out of his way, and a lame man slowed him to a cripple's walk. Eventually he did reach his father's advisor, where he secured his own burden and started home with it safely on his shoulders. When he arrived at the palace, his brother met him at the gate, and greeted him with dismay. He said, "I don't understand. I told our father the burden was too heavy to carry. How were you able to do it?" The future king replied thoughtfully, "I suppose when I helped others carry their burdens, I found the strength to carry my own." Author Unknown It is very easy for us to be selfish and only care about our own well-being, but I believe it shows more character in a person that cares about the wellness of others. The apostle John tells us to not only love inword but also love in deed. He means for us to not only talk about helping others, but do something that will help someone else who is not able to help themselves in a particular situation. (1 John 3:16-19) How can we carry one another's burdens? I believe by the simple act of love and taking an interest in someone's life, a person can be encouraged and feel a whole lot better about themselves and feel less burdened. Simple things can be done that will not only enrich that person's life that you are helping, but also bless you for being a blessing. (2 Corinthians: 6-9) The next time you are tempted to be selfish and not helping towards someone else in need, I hope you will remember this message that shows that only in helping others, will you gain the strength and ability to help yourself and reach the finish line carrying the burden of your life that is otherwise unbearable. (Luke 6:38) (Psalm 28:7-9) (Matthew 5:7-9) Read and meditate on these scriptures: 1 John 3:16-19 "By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him." John 13:34-35 Jesus says, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." Galatians 6:2-4 "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, himself. But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and n
[JOYnet] Hair cut
A young boy had just gotten his driving permit. He asked his father, (who was a minister) if they could discuss his use of the car. His father said to him, "I'll make a deal with you. You bring your grades up, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut, then we will talk about it." A month later the boy came back and again asked his father if they could discuss his use of the car. His father said, "Son, I'm real proud of you. You have brought your grades up, you've studied your Bible diligently, but you didn't get hair cut!" The young man waited a moment and replied, "You know dad, I've been thinking about that. You know Samson had long hair, Moses had long hair, Noah had long hair, and even Jesus had long hair." His father replied, "Yes son, and they walked everywhere they went!"
