My dear ones in Christ:
Please send the following to all your friends including Muslims.
A Muslim man in Egypt killed his wife and then buried her withtheirinfant baby and 8-year old daughter. The girls were buried alive!
He then reported to the police that an uncle killed the kids.15days later, another family member died.When they went to bury him, they found the 2 little girls under thesand - ALIVE !
The country is outraged over the incident, and the man will beexecuted.
The older girl was asked how she had survived.A man wearing shiny white clothes, with bleeding wounds in his hands,came every day to feed us.He woke up my mom so she could nurse my sister,' shesaid.She was interviewed on Egyptian national TV, by a veiled Muslim womannews anchor.She said on public TV, 'This was none other than Jesus,because nobody else does things like this!'
Muslims believe Isa (Jesus) would do this, but the wounds mean Hereally was crucified, and it's clear also that He is alive! But, it'salso clear that the child could not make up a story like this, andthere is no way these children could have survived without a truemiracle.Muslim leaders are going to have a hard time to figureout what to do with this, and the popularity of the Passion moviedoesn't help!With Egypt at the centre of the media and education in theMiddle East, you can be sure this story will spread.
Christ is still turning the world upside down!
Please let this story be shared. The Lord says,I will bless the person who puts his trust in me.' Jeremiah 17:7

MY TESTIMONY
I suffered a lot from my childhood,where i have no one who can care about me.i felt very lonely, depressed, felt lik agony.jesus had changed my life .he gave me hope to live and the hope is jesus.a lot of experiences with him.i was something lik 12yrs then,im sleeping and in the middle of the night my grandma felt sick and she have to be admitted to hospital.but im troubling with eyes to open becoz im feeling sleepy.auto also came to take her.i just in my sleep i asked god "jesus, plz send the auto back and cure my grand ma,i believe in u.amen"thats it and morning i got up from sleep what i saw was my granny in the bed. i felt dump for words.i cant believe my eyes that jesus heard my sleeping prayer.that is my 1st experience.all day i said that to everyone but nobody believed me that time becoz im child n im hindu then.there are many wonders since then hapened to me till this day,im nothinh without jesus in my life.now im doing my degree final year.it is all by jesus mercy and love ,now i came this far.my family too believe in jesus now.
One day I thought to do fasting on Friday,so I prepared that day to do fasting.morning I got up and did my prayers and I went to class. my madam likes me a lot and she does a lot of pujas(hindus),that day she just kept on praising me and I forgot about my fasting,as she offered me to have drink, I had it.when I had one sip ,then “ I realised wht iam doing”.i might be taling with my madam, but my eyes are rolling with tears.i felt not forgiving myself for what I’ve done.then I just came back to home and straightly,I went to my room locked it,kneeled down nd weeping,pleading,crying,asking forgiveness to GOD.1hour passed,I couldn’t stop crying still,then in my prayers,I felt shivering,and I had vision that is,”it is like strong ,hugh,very long pillar and it is covered with a white robe, that was very brighter.i couldn’t see the face,that is jesus I realised.

WHY WOMEN ARE WEEPING?
THIS IS TAKEN FROM THE BOOK WRITTEN BY ZAC POONEM
Does your weeping arise from worldly sorrow? Go through this check-list and see : Were you brought up as a spoilt child by indulgent parents, because of which you are now easily irritated and unable to cope with small inconveniences and delays? Is that why you weep? Don’t blame your parents. Deal with your irritability at the egg stage itself, before it hatches and becomes a deadly serpent that will hurt both yourself and others. Ask God to help you overcome the hang-ups of your upbringing. Do you love material things, clothes, music, jewelry, etc., so much that if you don’t get them, you become unhappy and start weeping? Do you start a tirade against your parents or your husband for not getting you such things? Confess your worldly attitude to the Lord and ask Him to deliver you from it. Do you weep because you or your husband or your child didn’t get a job or a promotion or a college-admission? God knows what is best for your family and He is in control of all your circumstances. So give thanks to Him in all situations. Have people hurt you deliberately in some way? Do you find it difficult now to forgive them? Are you weeping in anger and hatred? Do you feel like speaking evil of such people to others? If so, you are being vengeful. Take such matters to the Lord and ask Him to help you forgive all concerned. Release them all from your mind and forgive them. Then you can greet them with a sincere smile, when you meet them. Are you weeping because you suffered some financial loss, through being cheated or treated unjustly? God can use your loss to free you from the love of money and make you more like Jesus. So praise the Lord even for financial loss. All such losses can be replaced by our Lord, Who is the Giver of all good gifts. He is the Judge who will one day deal with all the wrongdoers of the world. So it is best to leave such matters in His Hands. If you keep thinking of those who cheated you, you will only make yourself miserable. A good question that you can ask yourself in such situations is: “Is this going to matter fifty years from now?” Are you weeping because of problems with your husband, that you cannot tell anyone about? Satan is out to destroy marriages. Reject all thoughts of jealousy. God planned marriage to be a beautiful thing. So cultivate your marriage as you would a garden. Water the garden constantly and pull out the weeds of discord and suspicion that the enemy sows there. Sow godly seeds of love and forgiveness in the garden instead. Are you weeping because you are pregnant again? Perhaps you did not want any more children and you are disappointed to discover that you are pregnant again. Remember that every child is a gift of God. The very thought of rejecting a child is like killing it. Accept every child God gives you, in Jesus Name. You may find that the child you didn’t want, brings you greater joy than all your other children. Later on, you can “plan” your family. Are you weeping because you have discovered that crying gets you attention, and enables you to get what you want from your husband or your parents - if you cry sufficiently? Ask the Lord to deliver you from such selfishness. Are you weeping because things are not working out as you want them to? Are you upset because God has not answered your prayers? Such an attitude comes out of a sense of self-importance. Ask the Lord to give you His patience.
Are you preserving the memory of your worldly sorrows (as ‘Egyptian mummies’ are preserved) for others to give you their comfort and their sympathy? Whenever you are tempted to remember unhappy events of the past, ask the Lord to help you reject such thoughts immediately. If you keep doing that regularly, you will find over a period of time, that you forget such episodes altogether. And your soul will be healed. Your past is like a decomposed corpse that needs to be buried permanently. When you do that, you will find yourself liberated, and begin to experience a little bit of heaven here on earth. Thus you will make the world a better place for yourself and for those around you. Live your life as God wants you to. Repent of your selfishness, and surrender your all to the Lord Jesus. You may feel at times that you have come to the limit of your endurance. But you will discover later that you were only over-reacting and that God’s grace was sufficient to see you through. God will never allow you to be tried beyond your ability.Many saintly women have suffered much for the Lord. In the 16th century in France, Madam Guyon was imprisoned for her faith, for a long time in a cold prison cell. But she wrote books from that prison-cell that ring with a spirit of triumph, and that bless people even today, because she remained devoted to her Lord.God wants us women to be tough. He wants us to help others who are struggling and not end up with nervous breakdowns ourselves. His power is available to us at all times and He can make us strong. So let us trust Him, and we will find that our worst times can become our best times with the Lord’s help. Give your life and your future completely into the Lord’s hands and He will help you through your most difficult times. There may be even greater trials in the coming days, but you will overcome them all. He will enable you to overcome the giants in your temperament and give you the power to live a life that pleases Him. Thus, you will become a blessing to many.

WHAT IS PORN POWER?
WHAT IS PORN POWER?
Recently a young man made a shocking confession. For quite sometime he had been hooked to the INTERNET on his computer. Every day he would browse around websites that presented hard-core pornography. Eventually, he became so bound to this abominable addiction that it stopped him from even going to college. All he could think of almost all 24 hours was immorality. Any time he looked at a woman, it was with extreme lust. He had such a strong sensual drive that he could not look at his godly mother as a loving, caring mother but as a stuff to satisfy his lustful desires. He was ashamed to confess that sometimes at night, without his knowledge, his body would roll towards his mother’s bed! Thank God, he managed to somehow struggle and came back to his bed every time that happened.
When he made this confession, some saints prayed with him for a number of days; he himself cried to God earnestly day and night, and finally he was completely set free.
Why does pornography have such strength? It is because it operates much like a drug. It has a strong drive, which is so strong that it can take over the reason of the mind; the person wants more and more of this pleasure, until finally it leads to destruction.
Ted Bundy grew up in a godly Christian home with loving parents who didn’t smoke or gamble; and they all regularly attended church. But when he was 12 or 13, he saw pornographic magazines, and this got hold of him. He kept wanting something stronger and stronger, and finally, not being able to satisfy the addiction, he killed someone foe the pleasure. He felt awful after that, but the drive was so strong that he soon did it again and again, and finally became a serial killer. The day before he was executed, he said, in an interview, that he wanted his testimony to be a warning of the dangers of pornography—of how it could turn a child with such good upbringing into a horrible killer. Ted said that every violent criminal he had met in prison, without exception, had been motivated by pornography.
The images of pornographic materials are cut in, and engraved in your heart and mind, bringing torments in your spirit, soul and body. The Holy Spirit wants to write His laws in our heart and mind, to enable us to do them. “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you…And I will put My spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them”(Ezek 36:26,27). Similarly, Satan’s unclean spirit wants to write and draw images of unclean things in our hearts and minds—to make us do (enact) them.
Many young people (some old people too) do not realize that porn power (the power of pornography) is a devastating power coming from the very pit of hell. After viewing or reading pornographic materials, people fantasize about it—which leads to serious immoral activities. Every fantasy becomes another link in the chain encircling the soul. Eventually such a person has difficulty interacting with others without being dominated by impure thoughts and desires. As seen in the life of that young man, you lose all your normal moral feelings towards even your own sister, mother or daughter. See what the Word of the God says about such people. “Who being past feeling has given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness” (Eph4:19). Therefore porn addiction is your normal emotions or feelings being replaced by lust in every part of your spirit, soul and body. Finally you find yourself a mental wreck, corrupt to the core.
Most internet users believe that unless they go looking for porn, it will not find them. What they do not realize is, that pornographers are aggressively implementing new strategies to market and push pornography to innocent internet users, without their consent and often even without their knowledge. If the user is spiritually unguarded he becomes a new customer to the diabolic recruiters and slowly, a slave to porn power. So if, as an unwitting customer, you are thrust into the visual import of a porn display, immediately get off the website (that has suddenly appeared on your monitor), bind that thought from corrupting your mind and bring the residual imagination left in the mind, captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ (II Cor 10:5).
“The light of the body is the eye….but if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness” (Matt 6:22, 23). This shows that, in one sense, if your eyes are corrupt, you are corrupt; if your life is full of darkness. This also means that if you are not careful, your eyes can be the gates of hell leading you deep down to the pit of hell. Samson’s life is a warning to this frightening truth. “Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her” “But the Philistines took him down to Gaza” (Judg 16:1, 21). To the very place where he had given room to the lust of the eyes (Gaza) he was brought down bound, with his eyes put out. This gives warning to all—if you give room to the lust of the eyes, one day you will be bound by the devil and your spiritual eyes will be put out. The eyes are connected to the heart and mind (thoughts) (prov 15:30). When the eyes are defiled, the heart and mind are also defiled.
Jesus said, “Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart” (Matt 5:28). This is a serious warning to all those who feast their eyes on porn. If one look of lust on just one woman for one second is adultery in the sight of God, when you deliberately and continuously look for several minutes at women/men in their most abominable form of appearance, behaving in the worst immoral way, you have committed adultery many thousands of times, yes, many millions of times.
St. Peter says about such people—“Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin” (II pet 2:14). One shocking truth is that every time a person commits a sin of immorality, a demon (unclean spirit) attacks him or enters him. For example, he man of Gadara who obviously was immoral man (wearing on clothes and sleeping in the tombs), had a legion or 6000 demons in him (Mk 5:1-9). Therefore those who watch porn frequently may have millions of demons or unclean spirits attacking them or possessing them.
What will happen to such people at the time of their death? All the demons that attack them will simultaneously torment them in the worst possible way. “O death, where is thy sitting?... The sitting of death is sin” (I Cor 15; 55, 56). This shows that every sin that a man commits will turn into a sting at the time of death, and torment him. And that torment will continue all eternity unless he repents and renounces all his sins while on earth.
Dear reader, have you ever given room to pornography through the Internet, videos, DVD’s, cell phones, magazines, books, etc? Perhaps you have not realized that porn power has been attacking you from the pit of hell. Your mind may be already corrupted, and at times your sleep may be disturbed with frequent nightmares. There may be many other disturbing and devastating things happening in your life. Satan has gained a deep foothold and has built a stronghold in your consult a matured servant of God and shares your problems without hiding anything. Also take time to repent from the depths of your heart and renounce every sin you have committed so far. Jesus cannot only wash you with His blood but also command purity of heart and mind.
Jesus suffered greatly that we might have pure thoughts. To whip Jesus (for our healing) a group of soldiers were used, but to beat the crown of thorns into His head with a rod—for our purity of mind (chastisement of our peace) both Matthew’s and Mark’s Gospels mention that the whole band of soldiers (all the soldiers under the centurion—at least a 100) were called. Imagine the soldiers of the governor—his personal bodyguards, the best soldiers in the region—all taking turns to beat Jesus’ head with the crown of thorns on it. All those soldiers were called for this most painful punishment of Christ—for all of our wrong thoughts, for the sins of our minds.
Remove any pornographic material from your heart and home, and replace them with God’s word. Let your mind be habitually occupied with such activities as Bible study, missionary work, the singing of “psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,” and other things that contribute something noble to the mind and character.
Today, from the bottom of your heart, make a covenant as Job did: “I made a covenant with mine eyes” (Job 31: 3). This promise can be fulfilled in your life: “You that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind…yet now hath He reconciled…to present (your minds) holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight” (col 1:21, 22).
Food for thought:
Our battle is won, but is yet to be fought.

Eventually, he became so bound to this abominable addiction that it stopped him from even going to college. All he could think of almost all 24 hours was immorality. Any time he looked at a woman, it was with extreme lust. He had such a strong sensual drive that he could not look at his godly mother as a loving, caring mother but as a stuff to satisfy his lustful desires. He was ashamed to confess that sometimes at night, without his knowledge, his body would roll towards his mother’s bed! Thank God, he managed to somehow struggle and came back to his bed every time that happened.
When he made this confession, some saints prayed with him for a number of days; he himself cried to God earnestly day and night, and finally he was completely set free.
Why does pornography have such strength? It is because it operates much like a drug. It has a strong drive, which is so strong that it can take over the reason of the mind; the person wants more and more of this pleasure, until finally it leads to destruction.
Ted Bundy grew up in a godly Christian home with loving parents who didn’t smoke or gamble; and they all regularly attended church. But when he was 12 or 13, he saw pornographic magazines, and this got hold of him. He kept wanting something stronger and stronger, and finally, not being able to satisfy the addiction, he killed someone foe the pleasure. He felt awful after that, but the drive was so strong that he soon did it again and again, and finally became a serial killer. The day before he was executed, he said, in an interview, that he wanted his testimony to be a warning of the dangers of pornography—of how it could turn a child with such good upbringing into a horrible killer. Ted said that every violent criminal he had met in prison, without exception, had been motivated by pornography.
The images of pornographic materials are cut in, and engraved in your heart and mind, bringing torments in your spirit, soul and body. The Holy Spirit wants to write His laws in our heart and mind, to enable us to do them. “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you…And I will put My spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them”(Ezek 36:26,27). Similarly, Satan’s unclean spirit wants to write and draw images of unclean things in our hearts and minds—to make us do (enact) them.
Many young people (some old people too) do not realize that porn power (the power of pornography) is a devastating power coming from the very pit of hell. After viewing or reading pornographic materials, people fantasize about it—which leads to serious immoral activities. Every fantasy becomes another link in the chain encircling the soul. Eventually such a person has difficulty interacting with others without being dominated by impure thoughts and desires. As seen in the life of that young man, you lose all your normal moral feelings towards even your own sister, mother or daughter. See what the Word of the God says about such people. “Who being past feeling has given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness” (Eph4:19). Therefore porn addiction is your normal emotions or feelings being replaced by lust in every part of your spirit, soul and body. Finally you find yourself a mental wreck, corrupt to the core.
Most internet users believe that unless they go looking for porn, it will not find them. What they do not realize is, that pornographers are aggressively implementing new strategies to market and push pornography to innocent internet users, without their consent and often even without their knowledge. If the user is spiritually unguarded he becomes a new customer to the diabolic recruiters and slowly, a slave to porn power. So if, as an unwitting customer, you are thrust into the visual import of a porn display, immediately get off the website (that has suddenly appeared on your monitor), bind that thought from corrupting your mind and bring the residual imagination left in the mind, captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ (II Cor 10:5).
“The light of the body is the eye….but if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness” (Matt 6:22, 23). This shows that, in one sense, if your eyes are corrupt, you are corrupt; if your life is full of darkness. This also means that if you are not careful, your eyes can be the gates of hell leading you deep down to the pit of hell. Samson’s life is a warning to this frightening truth. “Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her” “But the Philistines took him down to Gaza” (Judg 16:1, 21). To the very place where he had given room to the lust of the eyes (Gaza) he was brought down bound, with his eyes put out. This gives warning to all—if you give room to the lust of the eyes, one day you will be bound by the devil and your spiritual eyes will be put out. The eyes are connected to the heart and mind (thoughts) (prov 15:30). When the eyes are defiled, the heart and mind are also defiled.
Jesus said, “Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart” (Matt 5:28). This is a serious warning to all those who feast their eyes on porn. If one look of lust on just one woman for one second is adultery in the sight of God, when you deliberately and continuously look for several minutes at women/men in their most abominable form of appearance, behaving in the worst immoral way, you have committed adultery many thousands of times, yes, many millions of times.
St. Peter says about such people—“Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin” (II pet 2:14). One shocking truth is that every time a person commits a sin of immorality, a demon (unclean spirit) attacks him or enters him. For example, he man of Gadara who obviously was immoral man (wearing on clothes and sleeping in the tombs), had a legion or 6000 demons in him (Mk 5:1-9). Therefore those who watch porn frequently may have millions of demons or unclean spirits attacking them or possessing them.
What will happen to such people at the time of their death? All the demons that attack them will simultaneously torment them in the worst possible way. “O death, where is thy sitting?... The sitting of death is sin” (I Cor 15; 55, 56). This shows that every sin that a man commits will turn into a sting at the time of death, and torment him. And that torment will continue all eternity unless he repents and renounces all his sins while on earth.
Dear reader, have you ever given room to pornography through the Internet, videos, DVD’s, cell phones, magazines, books, etc? Perhaps you have not realized that porn power has been attacking you from the pit of hell. Your mind may be already corrupted, and at times your sleep may be disturbed with frequent nightmares. There may be many other disturbing and devastating things happening in your life. Satan has gained a deep foothold and has built a stronghold in your consult a matured servant of God and shares your problems without hiding anything. Also take time to repent from the depths of your heart and renounce every sin you have committed so far. Jesus cannot only wash you with His blood but also command purity of heart and mind.
Jesus suffered greatly that we might have pure thoughts. To whip Jesus (for our healing) a group of soldiers were used, but to beat the crown of thorns into His head with a rod—for our purity of mind (chastisement of our peace) both Matthew’s and Mark’s Gospels mention that the whole band of soldiers (all the soldiers under the centurion—at least a 100) were called. Imagine the soldiers of the governor—his personal bodyguards, the best soldiers in the region—all taking turns to beat Jesus’ head with the crown of thorns on it. All those soldiers were called for this most painful punishment of Christ—for all of our wrong thoughts, for the sins of our minds.
Remove any pornographic material from your heart and home, and replace them with God’s word. Let your mind be habitually occupied with such activities as Bible study, missionary work, the singing of “psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,” and other things that contribute something noble to the mind and character.
Today, from the bottom of your heart, make a covenant as Job did: “I made a covenant with mine eyes” (Job 31: 3). This promise can be fulfilled in your life: “You that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind…yet now hath He reconciled…to present (your minds) holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight” (col 1:21, 22).
Food for thought:
Our battle is won, but is yet to be fought.
