[JOYnet] The Heart
Subject: FW: The Heart Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2002 09:26:28 -0700 Tomorrow morning, the surgeon began, I'll open up your heart... You'll find Jesus there, the boy interrupted. The surgeon looked up, annoyed I'll cut your heart open, he continued, to see how much damage has been done... But when you open up my heart, you'll find Jesus in there, said the boy. The surgeon looked to the parents, who sat quietly. When I see how much damage has been done, I'll sew your heart and chest back up, and I'll plan what to do next. But you'll find Jesus in my heart. The Bible says He lives there. The hymns all say He lives there. You'll find Him in my heart. The surgeon had had enough. I'll tell you what I'll find in your heart. I'll find damaged muscle, low blood supply, and weakened vessels. And I'll find out if I can make you well. You'll find Jesus there too. He lives there. The surgeon left. The surgeon sat in his office, recording his notes from the surgery, ...damaged aorta, damaged pulmonary vein, widespread muscle degeneration. No hope for transplant, no hope for cure. Therapy: painkillers and bed rest. Prognosis:, here he paused, death within one year. He stopped the recorder, but there was more to be said. Why? he asked aloud. Why did You do this? You've put him here; You've put him in this pain; and You've cursed him to an early death. Why? The Lord answered and said, The boy, My lamb, was not meant for your flock for long, for he is a part of My flock, and will forever be. Here, in My flock, he will feel no pain,and will be comforted as you cannot imagine. His parents will one day join him here, and they will know peace, and My flock will continue to grow. The surgeon's tears were hot, but his anger was hotter. You created that boy, and You created that heart. He'll be dead in months. Why? The Lord answered, The boy, My lamb, shall return to My flock, for He has Done his duty: I did not put My lamb with your flock to lose him, but to retrieve another lost lamb. The surgeon wept. The surgeon sat beside the boy's bed; the boy's parents sat across from him. The boy awoke and whispered, Did you cut open my heart? Yes, said the surgeon. What did you find? asked the boy. I found Jesus there, said the surgeon. Author Unknown - Celebrate Jesus in 2002 ! If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions listed below: Jesus said, If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.. I Am Not Ashamed. Pass this on only if you mean it. Yes, I do Love God. He is my source of existence and Savior. He keeps me functioning each and everyday. Without Him, I will be nothing. Without him, I am nothing, but with Him I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. (Phil 4:13) __ Give your Company an email address like ravi @ ravi-exports.com.

[JOYnet] The 7 ups
Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 8:55 AM Subject: Thought-13/08/2002 The 7 ups 1. Wake Up !! Decide to have a good day. Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118:24 2. Dress Up !! The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart. I Samuel 16:7 3. Shut Up!! Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. He who guards his lips guards his soul. Proverbs 13:3 4. Stand Up!!... For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good... Galatians 6:9-10 5. Look Up !!... To the Lord. I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 6. Reach Up !!... For something higher. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path. Proverbs 3:5-6 7. Lift Up !!... Your Prayers. Do not worry about anything; instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING. Philippians 4:6 A POSITIVE THOUGHT Whenever you want to talk,God will listen. He could live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart. What about the Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem; not to mention that Friday at Calvary. Face it, He's crazy about you.

[JOYnet] Husband Shopping Center
Recently a Husband Shopping Center opened in Dallas, where women could go to choose a husband from among many men. It was laid out in five floors, with the men increasing in positive attributes as you ascended up the floors. The only rule was, once you opened the door to any floor, you must choose a man from that floor, and if you went up a floor, you couldn't go back down except to leave the place never to return. A couple of girlfriends go to the place to find men. First floor, the door had a sign saying, These men have jobs and love kids. The women read the sign and say, Well, that's better than not having jobs, or not loving kids, but I wonder what's further up? So up they go. Second floor says These men have high paying jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking. Hmmm, say the girls. But, I wonder what's further up? Third floor: These men have high paying jobs, are extremely good looking, love kids and help with the housework. Wow! say the women. Very tempting, BUT, there's more further up! And up they go. Fourth floor: These men have high paying jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak. Oh, mercy me. But just think! What must be awaiting us further on! So up to the fifth floor they go. The sign on that door said, This floor is empty and exists only to prove that women are impossible to please. __ Give your Company an email address like ravi @ ravi-exports.com.

[JOYnet] Living Example of Love
Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 2:29 PM Subject: Thought-12/08/2002 Living Example of Love == Don't ever worry about not having enough love inside you. The Word says God's love is shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Ghost. God's love is in you. What you need to do is make a decision to let it flow. Pray this prayer today. In Jesus' Name, I make a fresh and strong commitment today to live the life of love, to let the tenderness of God flow through me and heal the wounded hearts of those I meet. Father, teach me to love even when things go wrong. To be patient and kind when the children are underfoot. To overlook the spiteful words of an angry spouse. To rejoice when someone at the office gets the raise that I thought I needed. Teach me to talk in love, to lay gossip quietly aside and to take up words of grace instead. Lord, Your Word says that Your love is already inside me...that it has been shed abroad in my heart. So today, I resolve to remove every obstacle that would keep that love from flowing freely into the lives of others. I put resentments behind me, and I forgive all those who've done me wrong. In the days ahead, cause me to increase and excel and overflow with Your love. Cause me to be what this world needs most of all...a living example of love. Amen.

Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 8:32 AM Subject: Thought-30/07/2002 Beware of Self-Exaltation - Joyce Meyer === Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you. 1 Peter 5:6 We are not to promote ourselves. True promotion comes from God. (Psalm 75:6,7) I can promote myself but from experience I have discovered that it I put myself somewhere, I have to struggle to keep myself there. If I wait for God to put me in a position, He also keeps me. It takes patience to wait on God's promotion, but waiting on Him honors Him-and the person who honors God will be honored by God. (1 Samuel 2:30.) It is yet to be seen what the Lord can do through a man or woman who will give Him all the glory. We must learn to allow God to take the lead role in our daily life and future. How much we are depending upon Him is clearly seen by how willing we are to wait on Him for what we want. Trusting God does not mean that we do nothing. It does, however, mean that we do only what God leads us to do. God can use only the humble. The degree of humility in which we walk determines how much God is able to use us. Wait on the Lord! (Psalm 27:14.) His way is better. His timing is perfect. Do This: Allow God to take the lead role in your life. Wait on Him, and everything will turn out better in the end. Have a Nice day!

[JOYnet] The Dive
Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 4:04 PM Subject: The Dive The Dive = A young man who had been raised as an atheist was training to be an Olympic diver. The only religious influence in his life came from his outspoken Christian friend. The young diver never really paid much attention to his friend's sermons, but he heard them often. One night the diver went to the indoor pool at the college he attended. The lights were all off, but as the pool had big skylights and the moon was bright, there was plenty of light to practice by. The young man climbed up to the highest diving board and as he turned his back to the pool on the edge of the board and extended his arms out, he saw his shadow on the wall. The shadow of his body was in the shape of a cross. Instead of diving, he knelt down and finally asked God to come into his life. As the young man stood, a maintenance man walked in and turned the lights on. The pool had been drained for repairs. Author Unknown This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] have a nice
HERE'S A STORY: LIFE IN PERSPECTIVE One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, How was the trip? It was great, Dad. Did you see how poor people live? the father asked. Oh Yeah said the son So what did you learn from the trip? asked the father. The son answered, I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us - they have friends to protect them. With this the boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, Thanks, dad, for showing me how poor we are. Too many times we forget what we have and concentrate on what we don't have. It is all based on one's ATTITUDE. And remember: It is our attitude and not aptitude that determines our altitude in life. This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] nice day!
Sent: Monday, July 29, 2002 2:39 PM Subject: Thought-29/07/2002 Looking at Jesus the Leader == Let's look at Jesus as the Leader. A leader is one who leads. Jesus is our Leader and he leads us. Firstly, we see him as a Teacher - one who has the authority. He was well-versed in the scriptures. When he was tempted, he did not yield to temptation. The secret of his victory was his knowledge and ability to use the scriptures effectively Matthew 4:4-10, Luke 4:4-12. Whenever he spoke,people wondered from where he got his wisdom. We also see him as one who had answers to all questions. In Matthew 22:15-33, we see that various groups of people wanted to trap him by asking him various questions. Again we see his knowledge of the scriptures and the way he used it to silence all of them. How much we need to study the Word of God and have the ability to use the Word of God in different situations. Secondly, we see him as a Role Model for us. He did not just preach. His life itself was an example. When he talked about love, He said, 'As I have loved you' John 13:34, 15:12. His love is not a reciprocal love but an unconditional love. Though I am not worthy of his love. He loves me, he also expects us to love one another. Thirdly, when he talked about Service, he demonstrated that in the upper room. As a leader, he should have waited for the disciples to wash his feet. But instead, He took off his outer clothing, wrapped a towel around his waist, and began to wash his disciple's feet, drying them with the towel that wrapped around him. He also declared that He did not come to be served but to serve. Matthew 20:28. He did not give up on anyone. He did not write off anyone, we see that his handling of Judas and Peter. He did not give up Judas till the end, though Judas was a traitor as we read in Luke 6:16 and John 18:5 and the one who betrayed Jesus. Yet he loved him till the end. In the upper room, he gave him the important place and warned him. He did not give up on Peter. Yes, he had to rebuke him saying, Get behind me satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men. Matthew 16:23. Fourthly, Jesus also planned things well. Jesus and Peter had to pay temple tax. He organized a fish to give that amount to Peter. The donkey was arranged for his triumphal entry into Jerusalem Matthew 21:23. The upper room was already arranged for Passover Matthew 26:18. There was no confusion, no last minute running around here and there. He also lived a life of Discipline. Fifthly, look at Jesus's humility. When Paul writes to the Philippians he says, being in very nature God, did not consider quality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death, even-death on a cross - Phillipians 2:6-8 Sixthly, let's not forget his obedience. Does a leader have to obey? Is he accountable? Sometimes we feel that the leaders are leaders and they can do anything the way they want. That is not true with Jesus. HE OBEYED HIS FATHER IN EVERYTHING. He did not pick and choose, from coming down to the earth to the cross he obeyed. You I are also called to be Leaders to lead others not only with our words but also with our life. Others may not recognize us as leaders. We may not have any designation against our name. Yet we are leaders in one-way or the other, Let him be our Role Model. Let us grow like HIM in all aspects of our lives. God Bless you richly! Writen by by V. Sitther - IEM,Bangalore This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

Hi, Today,s thought is basically on forgiveness. Sunil The Benefits of Forgiving === After teaching about forgiveness, I had a man ask this question. He said, I understand that as a Christian I am to forgive. I understand that Jesus commanded us to forgive. But what difference will it make in my daily life. Who knows or cares if I forgive or not. Well, the answer to that is a simple one. God knows if you forgive or not and God cares. If God didn't care whether or not we forgave, then He would not have talked so much about it in His Word. God is not a time waster. If He addressed it in His Word, then it's important to Him. And if it's important to Him, it better be important to us. For Restoration So let's take just a moment and see why we need to forgive. First of all, we need to forgive in order to restore our minds. When we dwell on the hurts and pains of the past, then we will be consumed with self-pity. We will live so much in yesterday that we will be ineffective today. We need to keep our minds on the things of God. We are told in Philippians 4:8, Whatever things are true, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things. For Answered Prayer Another reason we need to forgive is so our prayers will not be hindered. Jesus said in Mark 11 that when we stand praying, we must forgive others, otherwise God will not forgive us. And in 1 Peter 3:7, the Bible says that a husband that does not treat his wife with honor will have his prayers hindere Many men harbor unforgiveness in their hearts toward their wives for one reason or another. That is not honoring your wife and it will keep your prayers from being answered. For Obedience Another reason to forgive is to be obedient to God. For a Christian, that should be enough. If the Word of God says to forgive, then we don't need to try to figure out why. We just need to do it. Many times we talk about what we need to do but we don't tell how to do it. So, how do we forgive? This may sound oversimplified, but it actually is simple. You just decide to. You have to make a mental decision and do it. Let the offense go. Open your clinched fist and let it go. You cannot regard how you feel as truth. You must remember that you have decided to forgive and let it go and not go back on your decision. Your feelings will come in line later. I have counseled people who have said they prayed for years for God to take away the unforgiveness in their hearts. They blame God because He hasn't removed it. Well that's wrong teaching. God is not the one holding on to the unforgiveness. You are. Jesus didn't tell us to pray to God the Father and He would take away the unforgiveness and bitterness in our hearts. He said that we were to get rid of it. It's our responsibility. Just let it go! Forgiveness doesn't mean that you're to get back into a bad relationship. Forgiveness doesn't mean to continue to let an abusive husband beat you. But Forgiveness means you have to let all the hurts, resentments, and bitterness go. The situation may not change, but you will. You will be free from the bondage of unforgiveness and when you stand praying, He will hear your prayers. Remember this: Satan wants to destroy Christians. He uses unforgiveness. God, on the other hand, wants us to be set free. He uses forgiveness. The choice is ours. Have a Nice day! This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

Sent: Saturday, July 27, 2002 7:48 AM Subject: Thought-26/07/2002 Christian Maturity - Pas.David === But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil(I Corinthians 2:6). I've taken a mental survey of mature people that I know well. I've studied them, their behavior, their speech, how they handle problems, how they treat others, how they submit to those in authority over them,how they react when they are wrong and wronged. I've found three prominent characteristics that I'd like to share with you. First, we must be teachable. Not everyone is teachable and no one is teachable in every area. Many people are teachable ONLY when they want to be. I've made up my mind, and I ain't changing it one iota. He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way (Psalm 25:9). We must become soft hearted instead of hardheaded. We must be open to learn from those who are over us. A teachable Spirit enables us to be humble and respect others and allows God to use them to teach us! Secondly, we must be open to being Spirit led. When we fail walk I step with the Spirit we can become conceited and satan convinces us, ever so subtly, that we lead ourselves. The devil convinces us not to seek the Spirit, and so many people who fail to mature have closed their heart to the Spirit of God. Finally, those who are maturing fast depend upon God. They do not depend upon their own strength, power, bank accounts, personality or their position. Rather, they humble themselves and know that all they have and are is from God. Today, consider submitting to those who are Spiritual over you, and learn from them. Be open to the Holy Spirit of God and make a commitment today to depend upon God for all things! As you do, you'll find yourself seeking God and finding Him and walking with Him with greater measure! Dear Heavenly Father, I desire to be teachable, Spirit led and dependent upon you. In Jesus' name, AMEN! Have a Nice day! from-- Sunil Philippe [EMAIL PROTECTED] This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] thought for the day
Hold on to Jesus ! WHEN ONE PERSON RUINS YOUR LIFE == King David was hounded by Saul. The prophet Elijah was threatened by Jezebel. Paul was harmed by Alexander the metalworker. Even Jesus was betrayed by Judas. Has one person ruined your joy? Is there a name of a person, and when you hear that name you feel defeated, worried, and ruined. Can one person ruin our life? Not unless we forget that One person stands in the gap for us--JESUS CHRIST! He does not want your life to come to ruin! Praise the Lord. I am excited, blessed and comforted to know that my Jesus, my Friend, my Savior stands in the gap on my behalf to keep me from being ruined. We can only be ruined if we give in to the devil and reject the Lord's salvation,satan seeks to destroy us forever. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full(John 10:10). So, what did God do so that we would not be ruined by the devil? For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). Jesus wants us to walk in His power and strength here and now. I will bring back my exiled people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit(Amos 9:14). Jesus has a way of entering into our lives with the purpose of rebuilding what has been destroyed. He restores what is ruined. Today, you may feel ruined, defeated and depressed. Friend, please hear me. Jesus wants to keep you from being emotionally ruined now. He wants to restore your emotional heartbreak. I never know whom God is seeking to reach these Thoughts. But I know,His message of restoration, life more abundant, eternal life, is going out right where He wants it to go. Will you allow the Words of Jesus, the love of Jesus to reach deep into your broken heart? CHRISTIAN, YOU CANNOT BE RUINED! YOU ARE GOD'S PROPERTY!!! === Whatever your pain or heartbreak, Jesus will use it to shape you and train you to effectively serve Him in helping others. Now, pick yourself up and in the power and love of Jesus, let's face another day! When a supernatural force, such as the devil, makes a punching bag out of you,and ruins your day, there is only One who is powerful enough to deliver you-- JESUS CHRIST. Jesus delivers us from an old, tattered punching bag to a child of the,dressed in royalty. Dear Heavenly Father, I praise You for holding us up, when we cannot stand. Thank You for picking us up when we are down. In Jesus' Name, AMEN! Have a Blessed day! This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Thought of the day!
Subject: Thought-17/07/2002 Don't Limit God - Pas.Joel Osteen === In the book of Psalms, chapter 37, verse 4 it says, If you delight yourself in the Lord, God would give you the desires of your heart. The Amplified version says, the secret petitions of your heart. But just because God says He'd give them to us doesn't mean that we're not going to face obstacles and we're not going to face situations that we have to overcome in life. And what I want to talk to you about a little while today is how we ought not to limit God's power and limit His blessings in our lives. The way we limit God is through doubt and unbelief. There's going to be a time in all of our lives where when we look up it's going to look like by all natural, ordinary, human reasoning that our dreams can't come to pass. Some of you face that right now. It just looks like there's no way in the natural and if you don't watch it, you'll get filled with doubt and unbelief, and you'll stop the flow of God's blessings in your life. See I like to think of it like this: between me and God and between you and God there's this pipeline. I like to think of it maybe an 8-inch pipeline. And on that pipeline there's some valves on it, some different valves that you can either open of close. And when you start looking at only the present-day situation and you're looking at all the obstacles and the challenges that you to face today, if you don't watch it you'll get filled with doubt and unbelief. And you've just got to reach up there like a faucet. You're reaching up there and you're cutting back the faucet. You're cutting back the flow of God's power in your life. You see, I wash my car a lot of times out in my driveway and when I start I open the faucet wide open and that water flows forth freely. But when I get another portion I cut the faucet back and I start to restrict the water and it comes less and less and less. And if we don't watch it--God is a good God. He wants to bless us. He wants to give us the desires of our heart. But if we don't watch it, it's through our own doubt and unbelief that we're reaching up there and we're cutting back the flow of God's blessings and His supernatural power in our lives. And what I want to challenge you with today is don't limit God through your doubt and unbelief and go back and open that valve up completely so we can receive the power and the blessings of God in our lives. God gave us the dreams; He wants to bring them to pass. The Bible is full of promises from God. Somebody said there's over 20,000 promises in this Bible. If we would just get them into our heart and get them into our lives, we would see God begin to work and we wouldn't limit God. And you know what I want us to see today is that God's done something in all of our lives. How many of you believe God has touched your life one time or another? Well you know what? This made God angry when they began to question His mightand His power and His ability. Have a Nice day! This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
