SAVED

August 24, 2002


Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well among the saved in the Lord. May the Almighty God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be blessed in the Holiness of His Name.

To the general assembly of this website: Let us all become saved in the Spirit of Truth: which is the honor and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. For there are indeed many in the earth confessing to be saved, but are not. For to be baptized is not to be saved: unless the baptism is the Spirit and water of the Holy Ghost, which is the water from above the firmament (Genesis 1:7-8). Because the water below the firmament, which is the water of the earth, clean the body: but the water above the firmament clean the mind, that the mind become a follower of the way, and truth, and life that is Christ Jesus. For our Master said unto us, “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (St. John 3:5). Let a man therefore know the mystery behind those words. The water and Spirit is from above. Thus, the one baptism of the Lord is not done from the earth, but from above. How then can you be saved without the water from above, which is the cleansing and purification of the mind?

Now if one should say, It is written: When the keeper of the prison asked Paul and Silas what must he do to be saved: they said unto him, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house”(Acts 16:31): so what is your meaning Cornelius, when according to Scripture, I only need to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved? I Cornelius say to that man, or woman, or child, that no one can believe on Jesus Christ without truth. For did he not say, that, “I am the way, the truth, and the life”? Moreover, do we uphold the words of any over Jesus Christ himself? God forbid: for our Lord did so say, “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God”. So adhere not to me, but to the words of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ, whom many say they love, but know him not. How then can he be loved? Indeed, one must first know the truth to learn the way and life that is Jesus Christ. For none are saved without the Spirit of truth. But even though you might be of spirit and truth, you still might not be saved. For even some of spirit and truth shall fall in the hour of tribulation: even in the hour when the Son of man shall stand in his glory from On High. For what did our Lord Jesus Christ say: “Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom”(St. Matthew 16:28). Indeed: No one is truly saved except those that are born of God. For they cannot taste death: because they are sealed in God. These are those who are resurrected for the regeneration: sent down from the throne of God as angels of righteousness to inhabit sinful flesh, that men might learn the secret of overcoming their sinful flesh. These are those who are from the foundation of the prophets and apostles with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone. And they are redeemed from the sinfulness of human flesh, to call all men to be saved by the testimony at hand, which is the perfect testimony of our Lord. Take heed to the voice of truth, that you receive the wisdom to ignore the lies of the devil, and the strength to endure the patience of a saint. For the testimony we give is not our own: but for Jesus Christ in the Spirit of Prophecy. And for sure: many do come in his name with the art of deceit. But if a man abides in every word spoken directly from the mouth of Jesus Christ, he cannot be deceived or misled.

My fellow brothers and sisters: Let today be a new beginning: for we all are taken from sin. And if I, who was conceived in sin, and who had descended into the lower part of the earth where whores and perverts roam in comfort, am lifted up: Do you not know that you also can be lifted up? even the whore and the pervert. Renew the spirit of your mind therefore in the name of righteousness and be lifted up from out of the wages of sin: for all sinners are called into repentance, to be baptized in the Spirit and water of the Holy Ghost. So humble yourselves and submit to the fear of God, to confess the error of your ways to His ear with a sincere heart: and the Father will be merciful and forgiving, to lift you up from out of the path of death and hell, that you be tried with the hour of tribulation, that you might prove yourself worthy to be a saint of Christ. For none can come unto the Lord without sacrifice: and none can come unto the Lord without first being tested as gold is gold; only then shall one be refined as silver is refined, to inherit the kingdom of glory. For the Lord has sent down His angels to gather those that seek repentance, that they might become as us: renewed of spirit by the gift of God, which is the grace of Christ. For by the grace of Christ are we preserved in the likeness of Jesus Christ, to be born of God in the seal of eternal life, which is the seal of the God.

To the gathering of this website: Think not that we have come down in this hour of the regeneration of our Lord and his apostles to condemn: for we are not sent to condemn but to save. Those who hear us not have condemned themselves already. So who shall stand at their right hand? For as it is written: “And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin”(Psalm 109:5-7): so shall it be. Cursed be he that turn from the voice of truth: that his children be vagabonds forever: and continually beg. So beware of those you find in the streets panhandling: knowing that they are the children of cursed. For it is written in the book of Psalms: “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread” (Psalm 37:25). And it is also written in the book of Psalms: “Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places” (Psalm 109:10). Here is wisdom: If a righteous man is found homeless, he shall not be found begging, neither shall he be without the Lord: because the Lord does not forsake His own; neither shall He suffer His servants to beg. There are many righteous souls among the homeless: these are those who are not found panhandling: but are upright in their poverty as a sign that the Lord dwells among the poor. So be wise in your judgment: for many have seen the face of the Lord as a homeless man.

To the beloved assembly of the Most High: Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to St. Luke 1:68-79: and let us Read and Hear: “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace”.

Dear children: both Jews and Gentiles in the commonwealth of our Lord: let us all be saved in the only Church of God, which is called to be saints of Christ. We who are not seduced by the pleasures of this earth, but are called together to receive the portion of our inheritance, and to be appointed the bounds of our habitation: salute you in the true name of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ. For in Christ Jesus are we all saved: whether we be the seed of the European, or the African, or the Latino, or the Asian, or the Indian, or the Arab, or the Jew. For in Christ Jesus are we all made into one blood: that we be joined together in one body, in the unison of righteous and holy servants of God. For the flesh and blood of Christ is verily that of an aboriginal Jew: But flesh and blood cannot save us: It is the flesh and blood of Spirit and Truth: which we have received by the gift of grace through our faith. So even though a man might be the flesh and blood of a Jew: he cannot be saved by his flesh and blood: but by the flesh and blood of Spirit and Truth only.

Now to those who are without the Truth of Christ, being Gentiles, and aliens from the commonwealth of Israel: strangers from the covenants of promise, and having no hope in their understanding of God: but have been delivered before this assembly by the grace of our Christ: I speak to your ears as it is so written: “This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:17-32).

Take heed to those words I pray: and let all who are called in the sainthood of Christ hearken unto the Spirit of this voice: for I speak with the Spirit of the Holy Scriptures: and as it is written in Ephesians 2:1-10: saying, “AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind: and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them”.

So to the assembly of saints: let us recite these words, as it is so written in I Timothy 2:1-6: “I EXHORT therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time”.

Beloved: We are not sent to cast down, but to lift up our many brothers and sisters that are lost in the way, if they reach out their hands to us, that they might be saved from the seduction of this world. For the ways of this world is disobedience to the law of our God: let us not be counted among the children of disobedience. For their days shall be few: and full of trouble. So we pray for the children of disobedience, that you repent from your way of understanding, and overcome the nature of sinful flesh, that you can be saved in the Lord. For the Lord do love you and the world: if it was not so: He would not have sent us as a warning to you and the world.

Verily, of the things I have preached this Sabbath, this is the sum: “For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of our God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life”(Titus 3:3-7).

O Heavenly Father: We who are the children of Israel: saved in the seal that is the salt of the earth: let the nations that are saved know our place at the Lord’s table forever more. For out of your blessings O Lord are we set at the head seat, that, we be the light of civilization for all kingdoms upon the earth in the Messianic Age: and the enforcers of the law whose commandments are God. Keep us, we pray, dear Lord, in the bosom of your embrace: for in your word do we put our trust. O Father, which art in heaven, who is even made higher than the heavens, Hear our prayers dear Lord: and hide not your face from us: neither let our enemies find the strength to rise up against us. For we have learned our lesson, to walk no more as the synagogue of Satan, and as gentiles in Christ: but in the righteousness and true holiness of our heritage, which is the salvation of a Jew. For in the words of David, I say this: “Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen” (Psalm 41:13). And in the words of Moses, I say this: “Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places” (Deuteronomy 33:29). Amen, and Amen. Selah. Praise be the Lord our God forever and ever O people of Israel: for by our seed are all men called to be saved.

Now as I leave you this Sabbath I say this to those who seek to be saved: Whether you be a Jew or Gentile by birth: unless your nature is of an upright and holy Jew in the truth of Jesus Christ, you shall in no wise be saved. Fret not; neither turn a green eye: but humble yourself and submit to those appointed over you. For though there is a king set over you: he is but the first among equals. For in the kingdom of God, every man is a priest. And let the people say, Amen, and Amen. Selah.

MY TESTIMONY OF LIFE, IN CHRIST!
I was a bright student in my class. I was a
bookworm and went through any book, that came in my hand.
I didn't leave the newspaper cover of bundles packed, brought from the market by my father.
I had membership in 3 libraries. I was awarded
the 1st prize of leather bound Bible from Sunday school for being the first rank holder
in the final exam. Then I began to teach in Sunday school.
One thing I forgot to mention, in the final Sunday school exam, there was a question out of syllabus, and the superintendent permitted
to look into the text and copy the answer. As it was contrary to my conscience, I never copied the answer. The superintendent was a deacon too, that prodded me very much.
This was the reason
I hope, that I was getting away from church and Christianity even.



I began to read non-Christian books, atheist books, Hindu books and so on. One day I read a book, namely, Purpose of creation by a western author, and he said in it, that he doesn't see any purpose in creation, and hence he does not believe in God! The very statement made him to refuse God, made me to believe in God. The author of that book said, "man is born into the world, live and grow and then
die and end in the grave and there is no purpose in life". To my mind, some fresh thoughts came. As I looked into the sky, I saw
many stars and planets. I thought, who has put it in the sky?
Not me even!



As I looked into the ground, I saw small plants and grass
solely depends upon the Sun for its existence just as the soil, which is hanging on the sky, about 9 cores of miles away. I thought, who has put it there? Not me, nor the so-called atheists. It was an eye opener to me.



I looked on my body and I saw the mark of the umbilical cord on my
belly. That is the only evidence that I had a mother. I was unaware
about my birth, and separation from my mother's womb. Still there is a
clear-cut proof in my body. So I cannot refuse that I had a mother at
all. In the same manner, man was not there, while the earth and heaven
were formed, but we see the mark of a sovereign God who created it, the psalmist says, " The heaven declares the glory of God and the firmament shewth his handy work." The Bible also says, " The fool hath said in his heart that there is no God, They are corrupt and
do abominable things" Ps 14:1 (bible)



Now I came to know that there is a God. Then who is the God? There are so many religions and each one has there own gods. This was confusing to me.



As I was reading the 'Complete works of Vivekananda' the Great
Indian saint Vivekananda, said," a true Hindu is a true Christian".
This statement touched me. In effect he was telling that there is only God. The other major religions of the world have a common father
hood, I mean about, Jews, Islam, and Christianity. At this time I read a small booklet namely, "how I got joy unspeakable and full of glory" written by a Sikh (having turban on head) called Bhakt Singh. A very learned engineer, Bhakthsing had certain peculiar Christian
experiences and he accepted Jesus as his personal saviour.



I met him in Madras in 1969. It was a turning point in my life. I had discussions with him and convinced that Jesus was my saviour too.
Many miracles happened in my life as the charismatic people say of the miracle hand of Jesus.



I will tell you one small incident. My wife was working as a staff nurse in Saudi Arabia in the year 1988. One day I had a dream,
in which I saw I am getting a telegram, which read, like this so deep and hit the spot in my heart." Unfortunately... I could not read it fully, since tears were falling down my cheeks. I thought some untoward incident is going to take place, and I was anxious about my wifes safety. I compelled her to resign and come back to India, at the earliest. She resigned and came to India. When she came to India, she asked me, why she was
compelled to resign. I kept mum. I didn't say it was on the basis of a
dream, which I thought, would not convince her.



But after few months, as Saddam of Iraq dropped the bombs in
Saudi beginning the Gulf war only, we came to know EVERYTHING WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD THAT LOVE THE LORD. ROM: 8:28 (BIBLE)



Few Years back, one night I was sleeping at my home. I had a dream and I found that I am falling on the ground and dying. It was pitch dark, and I didn't what is happening whether it as a dream or a fact. I felt the ground and knew I was in my cot. I got up, and switched on the light. Now I found there was no accident and it was mere dream. After
one week I had a peculiar instance. I had to go for duty (I was a chief Telecom supervisor) at 7.30AM. So I prepared my Tiffin early morning and told my children to have it and go to school. I would come at 10 AM from office. I came to my office and kept my scooter, at the gate, went in to have my breakfast. Finishing my breakfast, I came to my gate and
started the scooter to go to my office.



Suddenly I heard a voice telling me to take my helmet, I turned around to see the person talked to me. There was nobody in that area, and only I heard the sound. Seeing nobody I started the scooter again, and heard the same voice, telling me to take my helmet. There was no one at sight. Believing that it may be the voice of the risen Lord, I took my helmet, which I purchased from Delhi, and wearing it went straight to my office. On my way I met with an accident. An auto rickshaw
giving wrong signal hit against me and I was thrown off from my scooter.
Fortunately nothing happened and I was totally safe. My helmet was broken
and there was damage to my vehicle too.



Who has warned me one week before the accident? Who gave me warning twice on the same day the accident occurred? It is JESUS the Son of God whom the Romans and Jews crucified and yet lives! I suggest you to read the Bible to know more about Jesus. (Start from New Testament)



MAY GOD BLESS YOU!
YOURS LOVING, Kuriako

I hear voices all the time too. Has your helmet also the inscription "Intel Inside"?

A few months ago I bought an USB hub for my laptop and when I connected the thing, suddenly I heard a voice from nowhere "USB channel one connected". Somewhat surprised, I wrote the users manual and I saw it was a talking USB hub. So each time I shut down or start up the computer, I hear that voice saying: "Channel one (dis)connected, channel two (dis)connected etc. It has four channels.
I once started up my computer when my wife was on the phone and she asked "who is there with you", it took me some time before she believed me that it was my USB hub. Now I avoid to turn on or shut down my computer when I am on the phone.

[andrewblow]

I was very interested to read your story. I am a committed believer and can relate to all you say. - Welcome

Hello Andew,

Not Intel? Maybe Siemens. LHSP has gone to heaven with many thousands of euros of me.

[andrewblow]

It sounds like you've got plenty of memory and speed - but you're using the wrong 'SERVER' !! and got a faulty connection. This can be remedied........!
