[JOYnet] God is Good all the time....
Hi my dear one is Jesus This mail is a testimony of how my Lord saved my life today. PRAISE GOD!! Today early morning I just woke up and stepped out of the house , just two steps and there was big noise and I saw something falling down from the terrace and it landed up near my feet. Our antenna which is nearly 10ft. long was right above the place where I was standing. Suddenly it fell from the terrace and it should have fallen on my head since i was right below it, miraculously my Lord saved me and it fell on the auto and on our car then it fell down near my feet. But nothing happened to me nor the auto or the car also (just two scratches on the glass) even though such a heavy thing fell on it. - Sing to the Lord, Bless His name; tell of His Salvation from day to day.

[JOYnet] The Unusual Prayer Request
Dear JYs today i got this rather unusual but very touching Prayer Request from EP from a person called : Girl. Her email id is : [EMAIL PROTECTED] From her email I could understand what she is going through. So please do pray for her and all the people who go through similar phases. there are many youth who after coming into the renewal reach that phase known as Ok we are in the renewal. now what? Many are confused and many leave. So do pray that they understand that God is still continuously working in their lives. That they have patience and they can recognise his will for them. urs in faith Jason Mumbai, India Prayer Request: This is the pattern my life has been taking the last several years. Girl has tragedy, girl cries out to God for help, God steps in and makes things better. Girl asks God to stay and help keep her life on track. Girl is seeking much and learning along the way. Girl prays and repents often. Girl tries to go to church but finds much negative, one church bashing the other and the girls own limited knowledge about where God wants her to go. Girl gets confused and doesn't go to any church. Then the down side starts to happen. Girl gets lonely, girl wants some kind of life. Girl goes out with friends to a bar, girl gets lots of attention. Girl gets drunk and then gets sick. Girl did not go home with any boy nor did she take any boy home with her. Girl had several offers but deep inside knew that getting drunk was bad enough and was not going to go any further into the pit. Girl felt bad and knew she shouldn't be here doing this, but the alternative was girl sitting home alone again and again. Girl wakes up with headache and regret. Girl asks God for forgiveness but girl is disgusted with self and isn't sure God is listening anymore. Girl just wants to find mate, go to church, have some sort of a life before death comes.

RE: [JOYnet] The Unusual Prayer Request
Hi, This normally happens to a Girl/boy who gets converted to Christianity (by listening to some sermon or converted by someone or some incident in life). She isolates herself from her former friends or tries to convert them also. She goes to some church(mostly to the converter's church). She starts reading Bible. Naturally gets a lot of doubts and seeks clarifications. (Inspite of being christians -We all know that once somebody is converted to Christianity, he is a new person- we still have the Hindu cast system in our minds; we deal with the converted people based on their original cast and community, skin colour, financial position, education, position in society etc.) She may not find suitable/convincing answers or support from her church. Then others(some modern former friends/family members) notice the change in her and tries to convince her back. Now one of following two situations may happen. 1) she goes to Pentecost kind of belief where there is lot of peer support. Or 2) She does not go to church or goes back to her old ways. The second kind gets pangs of guilt feeling every now and then and tries to mend their ways but will end up in the same trap as there is no change in the circumstances/society. The first type may also either persist in the belief, or gets weared out owing to pressure from family and/or society. This Girl in the mail is looking at the society with a magnifying glass. Whatever she sees in the society is magnified. The only answer to this vicious situation is a change in our attitude. We should be able to reach out to such people (these people are more vulnerable than people who are born in Christian families), help them in their need. We need to support and help them to grow in Christ. Sure, We need to pray for such people. But the need of the hour is a change in our attitude towards them.

[JOYnet] RE: [JOYnet} Happy News
Hi everyone,Sorry about the email with no text. it went somwhere else. here goes the email again!!! this time it will hopefully reach everyone-text and all!!! Praise GOD!!! Yesterday was the baptism of my cousin's child... ever since the baby was born both parents wanted to baptize the baby because they valued the sacrament of baptism so much... due to the encouragement of the grandparents (and of course some JY influencers) my cousin decided that on the joyous occasion of the baptism of his daughter NO ALCOHOL would be served!!! Praise GOD!!! for me living in the US for almost all my life, i have never went to a party where there was no alcohol served... my dad never really drank and when he decided to not drink at all and not to serve alcohol in our house about 10 years ago it was something radical and he was ridiculed by others so much and now a days i usually only see no alcohol being served at JY/charismatic houses...but change is indeed happening and in more houses in the US alcohol is disappearing!!! praise the LORD!!! our family along with my cousins parents had been praying for my cousin to be able to keep the ! ! commitment he made. His wedding was remembered as one with the most alcohol served in the town area and now for his daughter's baptism no alcohol!!! praise GOD!!! only GOD can do such wonderful things!!! i am not saying that he has made a commitment to not have drinks with his friends or at other parties but he decided not to serve on the occasion of the celebration of a great sacrament!!! all ends start with small beginnings and small steps!!! So much prayer is needed for alcoholics and for families under the influence of alcoholism!!! Even people who are not addicted to alcohol but have a drink occaionally are still bringing all the evils associated with alcohol into their personal lives and families!!! Only the power of the Holy Spirit can break the bondages linked with alcohol!!! Not only do people have to desire to not drink but also not serve drinks in their homes and be around occasions where alcohol is served!!! Luv, Bincy :=) CHICAGO Tired of spam?

[JOYnet] HAI, THAT IS GREAT]]]]]
Dear Friends, Hope you all must have read that mail from Zenit news (Zenith.org - January 22) that talked about a document produced by the bishops of India, in which there is a reference to the new wave of evangelization and renewed zeal for the mission etc. The document clearly refers to the Jesus Youth] I really praise and thank Our mighty Lord for that reference. At this point I call to mind the days in the past when JY was not known by anybody except a few committed young men women; the times of tensions troubles it had to go through; the many misunderstanding misjudgments that had to be humbly taken .; but all those days of endurance and persistence, with the clear vision of loving the Church and being at obedient service to the Church, has now brought the movement to the HEART OF THE CHURCH. Praise thanks to the Lord for He is good. At this point let us also thankfully remember all those great people of vision who lead us through those moments with true commitment and dedication. But, along with this 'acceptance' and 'recognition' comes GREAT RESPONSIBILITY upon all of us Jesus Youth. Let us be more clear about our call and mission; let us be more at the service of the Church; let us live the call to be a missionary movement in its full sense. May God's Holy Name be Praised and Glorified for Ever. Fr.

[JOYnet] Mission Experience
Dear friends, I wish to write one inspiring Christmas Experience which I got from a letter from one of my uncle, who is a priest, working in Chhattisgarh, as a Missionary. I think this experience will help us to got inspiration in this period of enthusiasm. During the advent season, we have the custom of priest visiting every village to celebrate Holy Mass, to hear confessions and to prepare the people for the Christmas. I have about 28 villages, some of wich are very far away. The we are also staging one hour drama to communicate a message against alcoholism since that is theworst evil myparishoners are fighting with. Plus we are going to have two charismatic retreats in my parish; first one is from 25th to 27th Jan (already finished) and second one is from 29th to 31st Jan so as to make sure that every one of our parishioners to participate in the retreat. Please pray and ask ur JY friends to pray for the success of the retreat. At this Christmas season, I would like to share myChristmas joy at Aundhi with u. As part of the tradition, we have and advent tour of the villages by the priest and sisters in our parish. Last day when I, with one sister, visited a village which is very poor even by our own local standards, after hearing the confessions, I velebratedthe Holy Mass on a paper carton box, on a veranda of a house which has only bamboos as its walls. On my right hand side i.e., of the altar(the card board box, because they did not have anything better to offer as an altar for the Holy Mass) there was the so called wealth of that family; a few goats. Through the gaps between the bamboos, they were watching yet again one more christmas;the Word becoming flesh and blood; this time it was not the immaculate Virgin bringing Jesus forth into the world, but the Holy Spirit was making it happen through the weakness and wretchedness of a very sinful priest. I had seen the four women of those four poor families talking together in pain before we started the Mass at 12.00 noon. They were probably worried as to what to offer to me and to the sister with me for our lunch since they didnot have anything at home to offer. This year's monsoon did not give them sufficient enough to get back the seeds they had sown. Then I was almost translocated(in my thought) to that cold and indifferent night in Bethlehem of 2000 years ago. I was getting probably a glimpse of the original Christmas; its pain and perhaps a shade of the poverty at Bethlehem. I was trying in my homily to tell them that the Creator God can again be born in the midst of their actual poverty. But the expressions on their faces seemed to remain stoic and unconvinced. I felt my own helplessness; they were feeling their own helplessness; and God seemed to be expressing His own helplessness, too. God seems to be almost chronically prone to express more often His powerlessness and helplessness than His power and might. He expressed His powerlessness most powerfully on the cross of His Son. As we cycled back to the parish at around 2.00 O'clock with empty stomachs, I inquired my companion sister shether she felt hungry. Quitely did she affirm. Within me, I thanked the almighty God for giving me a taste of pain of Bethlehem, and for His unnoticed and unrecognized presence in the most unexpected and the cruelest situation. This is Immanuel, -- not just God is with us; but He suffers with us our own pain in the sublet way, not even letting us know that He is suffering with us; lest we feel weak. In our sufferings He seems to remain silent and absent to make us feel strong with ourselves. Dear friends this letter very much inspirated me a I cried in thinking of the Lords Love. I got this letter in the day of Christmas, and I also experienced that Lord is with our poverty. We have to pray for his parish for the second retreat will start from tommorrow.

PRAISE JESUS KING! Dear Netizens in Christ, I agree with Shaji on the said subject. Of late, some mails are with harsh tone.
