RE: [JOYnet] Prayer Intention

2003-02-12 Thread Anil Thomas
Hi,

   See, nobody suddenly starts searching for god. Please find out what
prompted your brother to take the decision to "turn to God", and why
(inspite of being a catholic) he did not seek Jesus(The obvious choice).
There must be some reason(or some
Close friend may be influencing him) which he may not be telling you.  Spend
some time with him and/or ask his close friends. Try to help him with his
problems.

Simply telling him about Jesus will not help you(He may get irritated and
try to keep away from you).
We are praying for your brother. But along with prayer, we need to help him
deal with his problems.

Your friend in Christ
Thomas

[JOYnet] A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE:THANKYOU ALL

2003-02-12 Thread jomina john
Our dearest family in Jesus

We thank you for all your prayer support for the out reach we made to Adoor 
engineering college. Indeed it was an effort of we, the joynetters for we felt the 
prayer support of u all. Through this we all came to feel and experience the real 
guiding of holy sprit .we had always longed for a JY group at Adoor and lord gave us a 
wonder opportunity for that. About 15 of us from our family members at Chengannur were 
there and it was Mohan chettan (Mohan Alex, Adoor -many of you may be knowing him) who 
did all the necessary arrangements for us at Sacred heart’s church Adoor

We thought that there would be about 8-12 students from Adoor but as usual Jesus work 
was far beyond our expectations. There were about 35 students from there (in spite of 
the fact that tomorrow is their college day). They all very actively participated in 
the songs and were very keen in hearing lord’s words. In all the sessions we could 
really feel the guiding of holy spirit Praise the lord!

They have decided to gather for the prayer on every Thursday from 5 - 6 p.m at sacred 
hearts church and today is there first gathering .my dear brothers and sisters please 
do remember them in all your prayers especially for Teena, Ria, Carole, Priya, Jibin 
………...you all know that since it is there initial stages they’ll have a lot of 
troubles and temptations and please do pray that lord give them the strength to be 
close with him as you all are now. Please do pray for the vicar of that church. He was 
very kind to give us the place to gather.

Even though we are very weak and big big sinners lord helped us to be this instruments 
and we believe that it was all your prayer that supported us .thank you all

[JOYnet] Jesus, thank you

2003-02-12 Thread Binu Asokan
Hi all,

We are all made so beautiful na? When we were born, it gave so much of joy 
to our parents. Our brothers & sisters were so excited. God used us to bring 
joy to our loved ones. Thank you Jesus, my Creator.

Whenever I was in need, our parents where more than ready to help me, 
nourish me with love, affection, care, support and whatever they had. Amma & 
Achan (Mom and Dad), thank you. Jesus I thank you for my family.

Chetan & chechi (elder brother & sister) were always there to guide me. To 
teach me so many new and wonderful things. They appreciated me and 
encouraged me when I learnt things from them.

I was good at studies, pencil drawing, singing. Though I failed to thank Him 
for giving these and so many other gifts, He continues to give them. Jesus, 
sorry yaar, but now on I thank you.

I am blessed with so many good friends, who really care. I thank Hormise, my 
friend and class-mate who led me to my greatest gift, JESUS. I thank Sony 
chechi who started our college prayer group, for God really changed my life 
through it. I thank Julie, Jisa, Cini, Siju, Sudha, Rajesh, Jim and so many 
other Prayer Group members who like loving parents guided me and nourished 
me with the Word of God. Also all who served the Lord for conducting various 
JY programmes, retreats that I attended and especially the preachers of the 
Word.

I am now a part of many small prayer fellowships. To my great surprise, God 
has used me to inspire others, sometimes heal others. Jesus, thank you for 
this undeserving providence.

Jesus, You gave me so much of faith, love, hope, patience, endurance, peace. 
You taught me how beautiful Your ways are, and that You turn everything for 
our good. You taught me of the richness of the Catholic faith. You gave me 
Mary, and all the saints and angels as my friends and guardians.

I thank Jesus for people like Anna, Jilly, Sheena, Joppan, Siby, Kuriappen 
uncle and so many who are a source of inspiration for me.

I thank Mathew Joseph and all you zealous JOYNETTERS who have taken pains to 
build this loving fellowship in Jesus.

God, bless all those whom you used to show how much You care for us.
Lord, help us to learn to be thankful to You, and to see Your providence in 
everything we see.

In Jesus,
Binu Asokan

[JOYnet] THANKFULNESS

2003-02-12 Thread Monita Fernandes
Dear Joynetters,
This is a testimony about how the Lord has brought me through, during difficult times. 
 My testimony is somewhat similar to what Jennifer had shared.  I was going through a 
tough time in my office, was having bad days at work from past 2 weeks.  Nothing was 
working out, everything was going quite the opposite.  I surrendered everything to the 
Lords’ will and asked Him to give me His grace and strength in all my sufferings.  
 
In the meantime I got another job opportunity but before going for the interview I 
wasn’t sure if I should go or not, since I had a very good boss and also good 
colleagues except for one person in the office. And I don’t know what was going wrong, 
suddenly everyone started acting indifferent.  However, I prayed to the Lord and also 
had asked some of my friends (joynetters) to pray for me.  The Lord inspired me to go 
for the interview and I also passed out all 4 rounds and the final round was to be 
held at Bangalore.  Again I wasn’t sure if I should go for it, I surrendered myself to 
His will and sought guidance from the Lord to take a decision.  Even my parents were 
not willing (since I am the only daughter),even though at first they said go ahead. I 
thank the Lord for helping me take a right decision. Praise God. I would also like to 
thank all those who prayed for me, especially Jennifer.  I was able to take a right 
decision and dropped the idea of going to Bangalore.  Howe!
ve!
r I was wondering why He had inspired me to go for the interview? I was feeling 
nervous before attending it, but after praying I was able face it.  May be the Lord 
wanted to put this confidence in me and so he made me attend this interview.
 
Before deciding upon this I was feeling tensed as to what decision should I take.  I 
wasn’t able to attend mass in the morning, was not sure if I could go in the evening 
also, then my dad came to pick me and told that he’s going to take me for mass.  I was 
feeling so happy, also I was able to attend the fellowship meeting after mass.  I was 
feeling very much at peace after receiving Jesus in the Holy Eucharist.  I really 
thank the Lord for loving me so much and being by my side everytime I needed Him.  
He’s such a Loving Lord. And if I were to count the blessings He has showered upon me, 
this whole life will not be enough, as this hymn goes……….
Count your Blessings
Name them one by one
And it will surprise you
What the Lord has done.
Even yesterday I wasn’t able to go for mass in the morning, ‘coz I woke up late.  I 
was feeling bad about it.  However the Lord helped me to go for mass in the evening. 
And Lo! As it was a thanksgiving mass (the person who was offering this mass was 
completing 60yrs and celebrating his wedding anniversary).  So the reading, gospel and 
sermon everything was on Thankfullness  Now I understood why the Lord wanted me to 
attend this mass.  The gospel was about the 10 Leppers, “where are the other 
nine?”(Jason had quoted it yesterday).  And the Lord inspired me to testify this on 
joynet.  And I am able to Thank the Lord today for all those blessings which He has 
showered upon me.  Day by day He has been giving me a total new experience of His love 
and new loving touch as if it is for the first time.  “His mercies are new every 
morning…..”.
 
Sorry for being a bit lengthy.  Thanks for reading till the end.  I am thankfull to 
all those friends who have been strengthening me with their prayers and helping me to 
grow in the Love of our Lord.  THANK YOU JESUS. THANK YOU MY DEAR FRIENDS.

[JOYnet] Thankful to God for the wonderful Experience

2003-02-12 Thread Nyttle Jose
Dear Friends in Christ,

I thank my God with joyful heart for the wonderful
God- experience given to me last week during the
retreat over here.

Hope, you all remember the mail from Wilson Thomas,
Singapore, requesting prayer for the series of
retreats conducted by Fr. Abraham and team,
Kulathuvayal. Yes, Thank you a lot for all your
prayers. It was really a good experience.

About 450 people were there for the 3-days retreat.
Response and cooperation was good. We could see a
thirst in all hearts for the word of God. The weather
was too supporting. Everything went on well as
planned. Followed by that there was 2-days nurses
retreat and 4-days (2 evenings and 2 full days)
leader’s retreat.

I would like to highlight my personal experience
during the leader’s retreat, which was on 6- 9th Feb.
We were about 35 people representing the JY teams and
different prayer groups in Singapore. 

First of all I thank God for calling by name, me and
my husband together, for such a showering of
blessings. Through the Deep Confession, Inner healing
prayers before the Holly Eucharist, Counseling,
Infilling of Holly Spirit prayers and other Services,
I cannot articulate the inner peace, joy and freedom
myself and my husband experienced. . There was very
strong outpouring of holly spirit, and his graces and
blessings, during each service. Even though I have
attended similar retreat before, this was indeed
special for me, as we were together as a family. 

I could not control my joyful tears, while father was
announcing the graces that God was showering to each
and everyone. We were divided into small groups and
all members prayed for the team member one by one
laying hands up on the head. When I kneeled down for
my turn, thanked God - "You are so grateful and
merciful Lord, as you called me by name for this,
without considering my worthiness, when I am a poor
sinner even to stand before you". God was revealing
many things to me by signs and messages through the
team members. That time Father said to me "Mother Mary
is anointing you with oil by putting the sign of cross
on your head ". I have been feeling a special presence
and protection of Mother Mary since the 2nd day of the
retreat (first open retreat started on Ist Feb.) and
father re- confirmed it. Yes, those days I believe, a
beginning for a new spirit filled life in Christ. 

Dear friends, it would be great if you can pray saying
one "Hail Mary" for me and my husband and all 35
people attended that leadership retreat in Singapore
that we all stay in the same spirit with God to
fulfill his plan for God's kingdom in Singapore.

Yours Lovinglyi Jesus,
Nyttle Jose, Singapore

[JOYnet] prayer to H.spirit my experinces &.an urgent prayer request.

2003-02-12 Thread PRADEEP GEORGE
Dear Bro. & sis'.  in jesus,

We all belive Holy spirit is  always with us to strengthen our ways. ...And it
is true in all sense...
Pray to HolySpirit  for all people we meet in our day to day life ..We can
experience the amazing results... Especially when we need a favour from
another person, pray to holyspirit to bless him.Then ask him for the favour or
help.Sure it is granted always..Becasue it is no one but HolySpirit is guiding
him..So how can the decision  be aganist us?

I have experienced the power of prayer to HOLY Spirit, when dealing with some
govt. offices.

I had to approach a few govt officers and offices,  three years back for
clearing some papers.As  we all know getting things done thru proper channel
in time  is not very easy in govt. offices here.Further more some of the
offices I had to approach was notorious for  bribery. What I  did all time
was, just before talking to the officer , I  did pray for him to Holy Spirit.I
begged Holy Spirit to shower his blessings to the concerned person.The Result
was wonderful!!!  I did never experience a problem Every thing was very
smooth before me..

When we are travelling on a vehicle pray for the driver Pray to Holyspirit
to control his thoughts and decisions.When you are driving pray for  other
drivers and all things on the road that you  are going to meet.Our Journey
will be so safe.sure.Because it is no one but Holyspirit is guiding
all of them


Now a prayer request too


I know we have a mailing address dedicated for prayer request.But I think the
reqeusts there are consolidated and given to joynet once in a week or so.I
need your prayer help  very urgently ,that is why i am sending this mail
here.


Now I request your kind prayer support for my interview in one software
company in technopark TVM.
Last saturday we had a test (infact more than fifteen thousand applicants were
there  and they had called nealy  thousand people for the test).Today the
company people called  my home (KTM) and  enquired whether it is possible for
me to attend an interview tomm 11 pm.As I am now at thrissur, my parents told,
it is not be possible for me  to  reach TVM  by that time.So the authorities
told  that they would be calling me another day.

I am very much thankful to  the God Almighty for getting a call from the
company.The crowd was so high for the test and i did  n't  expect that i would
clear the test.SO it is really a blessing..

So now I am waiting for a call from them within  one-two days.Please pray for
me to  get the call again in time  and clear the interview if it is good for
me and the company and if it is there for me in HIS plan.

Please pray for me and all the concerned people in the company .
Please pray to Holy Spirit to bless me and company people to take right
decisions.

Especailly please pray for the interview board

Infact I am not sure about how to approach  the interview...Some problems are
there before me regarding my qualifications. I have got  two-three reputed
certifications.Some of my friends who  are in the industry told me  that
sometimes these certifications can make me overqualified when trying for
freshers openings..So I am in a confusion that , should I produce these things
during my interview or not...? Please pray for me to take right decisions in
all these matters.
If you have any suggestions, I will be very mcuh happy to hear it from
you...and thanking you in advance for the same.
pls mail me at  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  , if possible.



I had very actively took part in the discussions regarding the Jobposting in
Joynet .At last as directed by administrators i did the  thing possible for me
.I have created  a page and a mailing list at  coollist.com for jobpostings
alone . The  details are  given to Mathew Joseph on last SUnday itself and is
under his review now.

regards and prayers

pradeep george
thrissur.


To Soajn Joseph(DUbai): I lost  your id .Infact it is there in my system
at home.Now i am away from home.I could not do anything for you in the
requested matter ,except prayers..sorry...

[JOYnet] TODAY`S SAINT........

2003-02-12 Thread rose maria
February 12, 2003 
St. GAUDENTIUS
Bishop  Confessor (360-427)  LIFE&  MISSION:   
Gaudentius   was  a  native  of  Brisca, recieved  education  from   
St.Philastrius,the  Bishop  of  that city, and  then  visited  monks  in  Palestine  & 
 Egypt.He  was  living  in  a  monastery  at  Caesarea  in  Capodocia,  when his  
Bishop died  ,  the  people  of  Brescia  in Italy  insisted  St.Gaudentius to  be  
the  successor.St.Ambrose  called  him  back  to  Briscaunder  obedience  and  
consecrated  him. When  returning  from  there  ,he  
brought  back  with  him  numerous  relics  of  the  Apostles, of  St.John  the  
baptist,  and  of  the  40  martyrs  of  Sebaste.  These   he  enshrined  in a  
Basilica  to  which  he  gave  the  name  of *.   Council  of   the  Saints..*He  was  
a  loyal  supporter  of  the  cause  of  St  John  Chrysostom,  whom  he  had  met  in 
 Antioch,and  when the  pope  &  the  Western  Emperor   dispatched  an  Embassy !
 to  the  Eastern  Emperoron  behalf  of  the  banished  Chrysostom,St  Gaudentius 
 was  one  of  the   three  Bishop  sent.  The  mission was  badly  recieved  at  
costantinople, its  members  imprisoned  in  a  fortress,  greviously  maltreated  ,  
and  finally  placed  on  an  unseaworthy  vessel  which,  it  was hoped  ,  would  
flounder  at  sea. St  Gaudentius   returned  home  safely,  however  after  4  
months.He is  remembered   chiefly  for  his  eloquent  extemore  sermons. 
COMMENT: The  history  of  the  Saints  reveals  what  a  
great  creative  forces  lies  in religion   and  how  much  it  can  achieve  despite 
 human  weakness  &imperfections..It  demonstrates  how  the  church  &the   faith  
have again  & again  shown  an  indestructible  vitality  in  the  face  of  most  
difficult  times.Have   we  ever cosidered  ,  for  instance   how  we  might  have  
acted  if  we  were  in  that   sort  of  difficult  situations? !  RE!
FLECTION:***  We  have  a  mirror  for  our  souls  in remembering
holy  men  and  recounting  thier  blessed  life  history.  In  this  mirror  u  will  
behold  the  blemishes  which  disfigure  ur  soul.***  St.Chrysostom

What is the importance of these last verses (Gospel according to St. Mark) which 
emanated from JESUS before HIS death in the cross in the life of a Christian?

SACRED SCRIPTURE exhort us to imitate CHRIST. (1Cor. 11:1, Eph. 5:1.)

In the Human life, we also have to face many situations, conditions, circumstance 
which may be of great sorrow, disdains, afflictions, denial, sufferings, even 
spiritual dryness, many a time we can’t get the answers, reasons with human intellect.

Some may start grumbling/ starts protesting against GOOD LORD / renounce their faith / 
Starts suspecting the ETERNAL LOVE and POWER of GOD / fall into bad habits, 
addictions, erroneous relationships etc 

But the GOOD LORD teaches us to ASK QUESTIONS – ‘QUESTION WITH FAITH’ (Mk. 15:34, Lk. 
1:34) to OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN ‘HIMSELF’.

The LORD says, “ CALL TO ME, AND I WILL ANSWER YOU: I WILL TELL YOU WONDERFUL AND 
MARVELLOUS (GREAT AND MIGHTY) THINGS THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.” Jer. 33:3.

LORD WILL BE VERY GRACIOUS UNTO THEE AT THE VOICE OF THY CRY; 
WHEN HE SHALL HEAR IT, HE WILL ANSWER THEE.
AND THOUGH THE LORD GIVE YOU THE BREAD OF ADVERSITY, AND THE WATER OF AFFLICTION, YET 
SHALL NOT THY TEACHER (Mt. 23:8-10) BE REMOVED INTO A CORNER ANY MORE, BUT THINE EYES 
SHALL SEE THY TEACHER.
AND THINE EARS SHALL HEAR A WORD BEHIND THEE, SAYING,
THIS IS THE WAY, WALK YE IN IT WHEN YE TURN TO THE RIGHT HAND, AND WHEN YE TURN TO THE 
LEFT. Is. 30:19-21.

THE LORD SAYS: “ BEFORE THEY CALL, I WILL ANSWER; 
AND WHILE THEY ARE YET SPEAKING (PRAYING), I WILL HEAR.”  Is. 65:24.

What is the answer to the question of JESUS? 
The answer ‘happened’ on the THIRD DAY, the RESURRECTION OF JESUS.

By HIS death JESUS ‘destroyed’ the devil, who has the Power over death and in this way 
frees humans who were slaves all their lives because of their fear of death.  ( Heb. 
2:15)

GOD EXALTED JESUS AND GAVE HIM THE NAME WHICH OUTSHINES ALL NAMES, SO THAT AT THE NAME 
OF JESUS ALL KNEES SHOULD BEND IN HEAVEN, ON EARTH AND AMONG THE DEAD AND ALL TONGUES 
PROCLAIM THAT CHRIST JESUS IS THE LORD, TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER. Phil.2:9-11.
And have been given ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH.  ( Mt. 28:18.)

 

Didn’t JESUS know the answer?
Of course, HE knew the answer. 
JESUS HIMSELF said to HIS Apostles THREE times about HIS sufferings, death on the 
cross and HIS resurrection on the THIRD day. (Mt. 16: 21;  17:22,23;  20:17-19.)

Jesus even said to the Jews about HIS Death and Resurrection. (Jn. 2:19-22).

JESUS even after HIS resurrection taught, explained ‘THE ANSWER’ to HIS disciples. 
(Lk. 24:25-27.)
‘Is it not written that the CHRIST SHOULD SUFFER ALL THESE and THEN ENTER HIS GLORY?’  
 Lk. 24: 26.

In closing, a suggested PRAYER.

I will PRAY to YOU, LORD:
ANSWER me, GOD at a time YOU CHOOSE.
ANSWER me because of YOUR GREAT LOVE, 
Because YOU keep YOUR promise to SAVE.
ANSWER me, LORD, in the GOODNESS of YOUR CONSTANT LOVE;
In YOUR GREAT COMPASSION turn to me!
And hide not THY FACE from thy servant;
For I am in TROUBLE: HEAR me SPEEDILY.Ps. 69: 13, 16, 17.
HEAR me, LORD, when I CALL to YOU!
Be MERCIFUL and ANSWER me!  Ps. 27: 7.

Thanking You, JESUS

[JOYnet] Kuwait is Blessed

2003-02-12 Thread mahesh peter
Hai friends,

Greetings from Kuwait.

These days kuwait is blessed with the strong bible sharing by Bro. Thomas 
Paul, we had different sessions from him, last saturday we had a program in 
Malayalam also it was a very nice session because people in kuwait are under 
war tension and this is the correct time god sent thomas paul over here.

Here families are started to sending their kids to kerala and my sister 
already sent her two childrens to kerala on Monday. So please keep  middle 
east in your prayers.

With love,

Mahesh Peter

the details!) but thankfully i'm still alive! anyway, remember i put in a prayer 
request for my proposal?! well guess what? i'm still busy with it! :) shortly before 
my deadline i became violently ill (no i was'nt looking for an excuse or pretending to 
be sick) and had to be taken home. i came back only on monday ( this week) and have 
been working on it ever since. 

the good news is, i can see things working out already. i am just claiming the 
promises of Jesus and all your prayers on my behalf. i know everything will work out 
and i just want to give you all a BIG net hug! A big thanks especially to all of you 
who mailed and sent me your love and encouragement. suma i owe you a mail. will get 
back to you soon! :) i will let you all know how things work out. josun, i got your 
mail and i will reply to you as soon as i've sorted out my current work! 

Mathew, thanks for your mail, i hope you got some feedback from Geo. Unfortunately i 
dont' know whats going on around here because i've been away for so long and just got 
back this week. i'll let you know if i get any details of Fr. Thomas's whereabouts. 

by the way, i wouuld like to share a scripture reading and interpretation that i got 
from the net. its beautiful.

lots of love in Jesus

"Therefore do not worry and be anxious." Mathew 6/31

God is vehemently against worry. Jesus preached against it. Paul preached against it. 
The whole Bible preaches against worry because it was designed by Satan to produce 
stress, strain, and death. What are you supposed to do then with all the concerns you 
have about your problems? In 1 Peter 5:7, God says you should "cast them all upon 
Him." All. Not 75 percent of them. Not all of them but the ones about your kids. All 
of them!

Remember, though, God will not take your cares away from you. You have to give them to 
Him. Then you have to replace those worries with the Word. You are the one who has to 
keep your thoughts under control. But you can do it. The Greater One dwells within 
you. He is able to put you over. Commit to it. You'll never have to worry again.

[JOYnet] Theme of the 1/2 Month : The Magic Word : 3 days to Go

2003-02-12 Thread Jason :)
Dear JYs... I am quoting the mails received so far that remind us on the Topic
of this 1/2 Month : Thankfulness

Priya : We all know that the Bible Calendar dedicated half of this month for -
Thankfulness.

Annie Berly : Dear Thankful netters ... ...  Where are your 'thank you"
notes going?

Mathew Joseph : Now.. shall we move on to discussion and sharings on the topic
"Thankfulness"

Reshma : From today JY bible calendar theme is "THANKFULNESS"

Jennifer : I am sharing this with you all because for me it was another
experience of Christ's love and I want to thank God for loving me so much

and a few more.

Joynetters. We are over 800 in number. And yet the people who ever thought of
being Thankful do not even cross. TEN. That means for the over 800 Joynetters
only 10 thought of being Thankful. That means using my wierd maths calculation
for every 10 Joynetters only 0.125. I think then the Lepers were much better
off than us. Because out of 10 Lepers 1 came back. (... i know ... i know 
surely 0.5 or 0.125 could not come back... but still u get my point. Our ratio
of thanks on Joynet couldnt even beat that number).

Come on Guys u gotta be Thanful for something. Have you thought about this
 Every time u crossed the Road and you didnt meet with an Accident... have
u thanked the Lord for that. Every time u climbed ur steps, walked on floor
and u didnt trip and fall have u thanked the Lord for that. Every time u
put on the switch and u didnt meet with an electric shock ... have u thanked
the Lord for that. Everytime the ones close to you smile when they see you...
have u thanked the Lord for that or have all have become small that we
wait and thank the Lord for bigger... things ??

urs in faith

"Where are the other nine?  Has none but this foreigner returned to give
thanks to God?"

Luke 17:11-19

The Magic Word

It matters not my state or my sinfulness. Nothing is beyond the loving mercy
of Jesus. The lepers, outcasts of society, were hidden in their shame and
poverty.

As Jesus passed by, they dared to appear and plead for healing. Jesus told
them to go to the priests which meant they had to pass through a crowd who
scorned them in their abhorrent state. On the way the miraculous happened, a
healing touch from the compassionate hand of Jesus.

So excited were nine cured lepers, in total disbelief they rushed excitedly to
show everyone.

Only one remembered that magic word - thank you. It is a heart-warming word
that draws us closely to the giver of all.

Gratitude is often neglected. We are so spoilt with the blessings of life,
friendship and good health, our lives are so rich we cannot visualise what it
is like to be an outcast, to be socially stigmatised.

A big thank you right now for all we have received from our loving Father.
