[JOYnet] A beautiful way to look at life!
** The Cake: a beautiful way to look at life ** Sometimes, don't we wonder "What did I do to deserve this", or "Why did God have to do this to me". Here is a God sent explanation!!! A little boy is telling his Grandma how everything is going wrong. School, family problems, severe health problems, etc. Meanwhile, Grandma is baking a cake. She asks her grandson if he would like a snack, which, of course, he does. "Here, have some cooking oil." "Yuck" says the boy. "How about a couple of raw eggs?" "Gross, Grandma!" "Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?" "Grandma, those are all yucky!" To which Grandma replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!" God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful! God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He listens. He can live anywhere in the universe, but He chose your heart. If you like, send this on to the people you really care about. I did. Hope your every day is a "piece of cake!" God bless ! Ruby / South Africa. Yahoo!

Re: [JOYnet] We are not fighting against human beings but against wicked spiritual forces Eph
that was such an enlightening piece of article. Praise the Lord!!! Normally we don't think or understand that our enemy is the evil spirit. We just blame and hate our fellow people for their wrong doings. The Bible says " But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a man.. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander" (Matthew 15:18-20). It is our duty & responsibility as children of God to act against those evil spirits. For this we need to be the 'owners' of a clean heart filled with the Holy spirit as the scripture says "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law." (Galatians 5:22-23). So lets pray as David prayed: "CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART, O GOD AND PUT A NEW AND RIGHT SPIRIT WITHIN ME"(Psalms 51:10) .We should also pray for our fellowbeings as well & then the world will be a much better place to live. With love in Jesus :) Rubina John / South Africa. From: "Thomas Mathew" To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [JOYnet] We are not fighting against human beings but against wicked spiritual forces Eph Date: Sun, 03 Nov 2002 22:36:16 + We are not fighting against human beings but against wicked spiritual forces Ep.6.11 I remember a situation. The other day I was with a group of youth in New Zealand. We started to talk about the stress in the families and I noticed one young man dropping his head and eventually the focus of attention was on reconciliation in the families. At one point, interestingly enough one of the youngsters stated My home is a purgatory and for him purgatory means a temporary hell. For him Lucifer is his Dad and mom is the counterpart of Lucifer. This young man and all the youngsters except one or two mentioned that they themselves are the little devils in that temporary hell. It was sad to be conscious that their parents are the devils. For the youngsters they and parents are the devils.. We may sit back and argue for arguments sake that they could be wrong but real life situation for these youngsters was the awareness of themselves not as the beautiful creation of God. They forgot that God created the human beings to resemble God. God said now let us make human beings they will be like us and resemble us - Gen.1.26. The youth in New Zealand experience temporary hell situation in their families. Often we think that our parents and our enemies are devils and we start fighting them. We are ready to annihilate each other. But the real enemy is not us. It is the wicked spiritual forces. We are not fighting against human beings but against wicked spiritual forces. Ep.6.11. Often times we think the enemy is my family member. Hence we fight tooth and nail to destroy the others. I have seen children fighting their parents for various reasons or even annihilating them. Cain did the same. He felt jealous. Jealousy is a gift of the devil and Satan hid that very cunningly and deceived Cain. Cain felt angry at his own brother and destroyed Abel. Cain ! turned on his brother and killed him Gen 4:8. The real enemy was evil that took over Cain. Satan is a liar. He even called God a liar. When Eve, reasoned out with Satan in her struggle to obey God, Satan said God is a liar and convinced Eve to work against God. Eve said God told us not to eat of that tree. If we did we will die Gen3.3 and Satan stated That is not true Gen 3.4. This Satan is out there looking for us to trap us to sin against one another so that we might fight each other and annihilate one other. In this fight against the evil forces, we may fail if we dont put our proper spiritual armors. There are six pieces in this spiritual armor to be used in the fight against the evil. Truth as the belt, righteousness as the breastplate, readiness to announce the Good News as the shoes, Faith as the shield, salvation as the helmet and Word of God is the sword which the spirit gives. Pray on every occasion as the Spirit leads.Eph.6.14-18. The fight against evil is a constant warfare. But we need the Holy Spirit to illumine our hearts so we will know the real enemy. The real enemy is Satan not our brothers and sisters. No need to destroy our erring brothers and sisters. Pray for them so that they will be ! delivered from the clutches of the Evil one. Jesus himself prayed for us sinners. I do not ask you to take them from this world. Keep them safe from the evil one John 17.15 We need to pray for our parents, brothers and sisters, spouses, children, friends, priests, religious, government officials, communicators so they may not transmit evil messages, teachers, office mates and everyone who might be considered as evil doers or our enemies. Praise the Lord Fr Thomas Math

RE: [JOYnet] Tools & Presence of Our Loving Lord
That was a wonderful sharing. ALL PRAISES TO OUR MIGHTY LORD!! If God is for you, who can be against you? :) Rubina S.Africa. Neovet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Praise the Lord ! Let me share a wonderful experience that happend to me just one week before. I am going thru a financial crisis now-a-days since my wife had to undergone an open heart surgery. I got a legal notice from a Credit Card group since one of the cheques issued to them was bounced with the reason showing no balance in the account. I had to pay them by cash or they may be moving to court within two days.There was no way for me and I was helpless. Since i got the notice during office hours I kept it on my table and just went through Joymails and started praying in my mind. Around after 1 hour my Sr. General Manager -HRD called me up for some discussions related to field and during that time, he just asked me about my personal life. Since he is an elderly person, I felt sharing my problems with him.He listened me carefully and "Praise the Lord" even without a request, he gave me a cheque for Rs. 31,000/-. Really I was shivering. I told him what I was feeling and he told me to "Thank God" to him. "Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household" While I am writing this message, I am holding a line from the same Credit Card group who are offering me a "Personal Cash Loan".

Re: [JOYnet] "The Imaginary Cross"
Yeaah, thats absolutely true. I've experienced the 'power of the imaginary cross'. I remember when i was small my mum used to draw an imaginary cross on my forehead as well as my siblings before going to bed & later when we grew up we used to draw the same on each other's forehead. As Priya mentioned we really can experience the wonderful protection of our Saviour. Nice to know that JOYnet(sorry, WE) are celebrating our 4th birthday. Lets all praise God for this wonderful gift. Its really nice to be a part of God's own love community. PRAISE THE LORD!! Rubina John South Africa. Priya Joseph <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:One day I was with my friend; in between our chat her kid demanded a little water. She opened the tap and before giving that to the baby she put an Imaginary Cross on it. I wondered and asked : "Why have you done that?" "Ohhh, Its simply to give protection to my kid" I too agreed, since I know well about Cochin corporation water. Days passed The way which I used to go to school was an area where we can find many street dogs. About dogs -I'm too much scared about this species. My fear of dog is proverbial, my friends and relatives used to tease me for that. Really an area where I needed inner healing :) There were many times these street dogs came near to me, blocked my way and even tried to lick my feet. I wanted to help myself out from these dogs but was helpless as there was no other option to reach school. After a week, somehow "The Imaginary Cross" of my friend came to my mind. I decided to try that method. Nextday, as I was going school I saw a dog coming from a distance. Yes the same one which excorted me the previous day to the school premises ; Suddenly I put an "Imaginary Cross" on its forehead. My friends you won't believe, that dog didn't disturb me that day. My confidence doubled and I began to use the same method every morning when I go to school. Now a days where ever I face problems or where ever I need protection or when ever I lack courage I put Imaginary Cross on my problems, on my things, and even on the other person Its very simple to draw an Imaginary Cross, but the confidence and protection it gives is immense. You too can try this method and find out the difference! Annie Berly, Thanks a lot for teaching me this wonderful method! Praise God!

[JOYnet] the Lord's Prayer...
Dear all, Itz been a long time since i had written to u all. But i always find time to read all those inspiring messages and i can see that day by day JOYnet is growing/flourishing spiritually. Itz really sad that the scripture quotes came to an end :( I remember someone put across an interesting piece regarding our Lord's prayer recently.Here's another one which made me think about it :) As someone said: I can't say "our" if i live only for myself. I can't say "Father" if i don't act like his child. I can't say "who art in heaven" if i don't believe that I can't say "hallowed be thy name" if i'm not striving for holiness. I can't say "thy kingdom come" if i'm not trying to hasten that event. I can't say "give us this day our daily bread" if i'm dishonest. I can't say "forgive us our trespasses" if i bear a grudge against another. I can't say "lead us not into temptation" if i deliberately place myself in its path. I can't say "deliver us from evil" if i do not put on the armour of God. I can't say "thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory" if i do not give the King the loyalty due to him from a faithful subject'. SO LET'S KEEP IN MIND THESE THINGS WHILE WE PRAY . love in Jesus Rubina South Africa. Yahoo!

[JOYnet] Prayer Requests!
Dear all, Please pray for my brother, Roshan & his friends who are writing the final year engineering exams from 3rd of June. He is really struggling hard. It was God who helped him all those years & pray that the Holy Spirit be with him all the time. I have another prayer request too-- Please pray for my uncle and aunty who have been married for 7 years. They are craving for a child. Apparently aunty got pregnant thrice but miscarriage happened in her 4,5 & 4th months respectively. The doctors said that it was due to a cyst growth in her uterus. She had undergone treatment for it & now her blood-glucose level is increasing .Both of them resigned from their job & are in Kerala now. We all believe that God will bless them with a child. So please remember them in your valuable prayers. Thank You much love in Jesus Rubina John Grahamstown ,South Africa.

[JOYnet] PRAISE THE LORD :>
Dear all, I applied for a bursary for my higher studies & I was quite worried when I heard that everybody's application except mine was approved and you know, its really expensive to study here. Moreover my brother doesn't have a bursary for his studies. So i know that i'm really in need of bursary,as it will help my parents regarding my fees. I kept on praying..& i believed that God knows evrything what we need and He will provide us in our necessities.2 months later (4 days ago) I got a letter from student bureau stating that I have to pay so & so amount.That night Sheril & I prayed together to God(we used to pray, sing together-itz really great). The next day I was busy with my experiments & around 3p.m my Prof. asked me to meet him in 5 min. Suddenly, i took the coat off &went to see him & i was a bit worried. He gave me an envelope & asked me to read the letter within. I read & to my surprise it was the approval letter for the bursary.Praise the Lord, for He has done great ! things to me!! Thankyou Jesus for giving me everything you want me to have.So my dear friends just remember that God is with us always, knowing what we want & that we are precious in His eyes. Plz do pray for me: With love & prayers Rubina Grahamstown, South Africa. Yahoo! Health - your guide to health and wellness This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
