RSS,VHP,BAJARANTHAL,BJP" are they our foes???

Ephesians 6:12
6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

The above Verse opens Blinded eyes, blinded by the one who is a lier, a thief, who speaks lie like his mother tongue

(John 8.44 He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.)

Ephesians 6.12 is a very big subject and that gives you clarity as to how the Prince of
Darkness operates.

The book of Job chapter 1 & 2 exposes who operates from behind the scene (and the Lord knows about that and in fact Satan takes permission from God Almighty to carry out his mission)

Thus it is clear that our foe is not man or a woman but the one who is operating from out of sight (the power of darkness)

Therefore it is clear that "RSS,VHP,BAJARANTHAL,BJP & others" are not our foes
let us begin to pray for them for a change of attitude - Did not the Almighty teach us to Love others the way we love our own selves. Just because we are born again, doesn't mean that we should not care about others but keep accusing their actions - No No never, the Lord God Almighty has specifically placed us here to pray for such people so that the Power of Darkness hovering above, releases their power from upon them. And that will set them free.

Almighty God needs only one Elijah to send shock waves to prove the Power of the Almighty

we don't need an army to battle the power of the darkness - Just one Holy book called Bible is more than enough - HIS promise is that "My Grace is sufficient for you"

HIS words are a double edged fiery sword - purify your self before you take that sword in your hand or else even a crow will not fly for your command - no not even if you have a billion strong army on your side

Sure when the Lord Almighty Pours HIS spirit upon mankind "every tongue will confess HIM and every knee will bow down before them.

Be very careful, the vile of the devil or the tricks of the power of darkness is to divide and rule - do not support that by ignorance.

So now you see that we have to pray and love "RSS,VHP,BAJARANTHAL,BJP & others" cause they are all our brothers, let us fulfill the word of God "Love one another"

Jesus Bless You

Independence Day at Our Church St.Andrews Kirk Chennai India

St.Andrews Kirk

Independence day at St.Andrews Kirk is celebrated with singing of the National Anthem "Jana Gana Mana" year after year, not alone demonstrates our love for the nation, but also projects the depth of our PATRIOTISM









Should you want to know why Sten Nilson in his book, European Architecture in India 1750-1850, described this Church "from the artistic point of view, St.Andrews is undoubtedly the best designed Church in Chennai" then you must visit this Church to believe your eyes, which has been preserved since 1821, with out any change in its ambiance.

Diligently held close to our hearts in preserving its grandeur over the ages so that it would remain as Glorious as it stands today for the generations to come and witness this and sing to the Lord "How Great thou art"

Here is where we worship Our Lord Jesus Christ each Sunday raising our hearts to the Almighty with passionate hymns from the Choir and the congregation, surrendering our hearts and soul to the King of Kings, who leads us in the path of righteousness through HIS words of comfort.





Built on a foundation of 150 wells in the midst of green foliage and date palms is no doubt a paradise on Earth to worship the King of Kings and worship HIM singing "I surrender all"

A CHAT ON HALOWEEN

THIS IS A discussion I had in one of the Church forums based in the USA

Are you bit confused about the issue of celebrating Halloween. Most of the sites online state that Halloween is a pagan holiday and should be avoided. Do you have any questions ? (Post it here)

Hi ,

we worship a Jealous God ??? do you accept this???

just take a look at the following which the people of USA
removed from public view from public places,
just because it was a hindrance to their whims and fancy,
I hope you remember that ????

V4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

V5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me;

What do you think the pumpkin is - whether they worship it or not doesn't make any difference, but is that not an idol in their (Yours too??)hearts???

we are also serving a holy lord :
Isa 6:3
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, [is] the LORD of hosts: the whole earth [is] full of his glory.

If you find a cockroach in your food - would you remove the cockroach
and eat the food or will you empty the food into the thrash ???

You are the best judge and the choice is pretty open.

He who has an ear let him hear.

warm regards

Celebrating Halloween or not depends upon the person .. I don't think its something that can be declared as RIGHT or WRONG. ..

I think .. our God is one who is concerned about deeper things.. He is not concerned about your dirty hand .. but He IS about the tiniest dirt in your heart. .

Iam sure that He is not gonna be angry with me for giving crackers to a 5 year old dressed up like a pumpkin who came to my door expecting to get something and ran out with the crackers shouting gleefully 'Everybody! Crackers here !' to his friends ..

On the other hand .. if you feel that the pumpkin at your door is an IDOL or a GOD to you . .. DON'T YOU DARE TO HAVE IT THERE ! .. STAY FAR AWAY FROM HALLOWEEN !.. ( On similar lines .. if the christmas tree in your house is an idol or a God to you ... don't you dare to have it there. .) God says. . if your eye causes you to sin, it is better for you to pluck it. .. 'Pluck your eye ! Mankind !' is not a command .. If Halloween causes you to sin stay away from it. . but don't go around declaring that 'Celebrating Halloween is sin' ..

But .. if you are gonna have fun carving a huge smiley face with a huge pumpkin, and the pumpkin is just a pumpkin. .. go ahead and have fun .. God wants his children to be happy .. God created the world for his children to live happily in it and to have fun and to remember him through everything. ..

God made the pumpkin for me to have fun with .. All the days of the year .. are days created by God . . I have the right to live and celebrate each and every one of it !

DO NOT EVER TAKE WARNINGS LIGHTLY :

A REAL LIFE DRAMA:

The Main Story :

I had just moved into this area which was pretty new to me and so were my neighbors.

One of my neighbors got acquainted pretty fast and gave me a small brief case, for safe custody, which I did without asking any questions.

During our various interactions he confided that the property which he was holding belonged to his late Dad, who did not make a will before his demise.

The property was in his custody.

As the days passed by, slowly and steadily his sisters started asking him to share the property among them.

For reasons not known he did not oblige and stood grounds.

I knew for good, that what ever he was doing was wrong but I did not have the courage to tell him so.

Time passed by :

On a hot summer noon time, by the persuasion of the Holy Spirit I began to read the Bible and soon my eyes got riveted onto the below verses.

Ezekiel 33:1-9 (King James Version)

1Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:

3If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;

4Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.

5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.

6But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

7So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.

8When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

9Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

As soon as I finished reading the above Verses, I was moved by the Holy Spirit to take immediate action on that.

And in my spirit I knew exactly, to who this message was to be delivered.

I wasted no time because now I am the watchman and I do not know where the sword is and I was pretty sure that I can’t take any chance, so I practically ran out of the house and headed to my neighbors house. (In the worldly point of view, I really did not have to be so very excited about the passage I read)

On reaching his house, I was told that he had gone to the Church.

Disappointed, I came out of their house and I had a choice of direction if front of me, either to the left or to the right.

Not knowing why, in a moments time I chose the right turn and headed blindly down that lane.

Was that a miracle, that he should be walking towards me??

And there coming from the other end of the lane was none other than my neighbor.

I stopped him right in the middle of the road and started to preach him giving various real life incidences which had happened in my life.

Based on the below references:

The Ten Commandments Ex. 20.1-17

19 Neither shalt thou steal

21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbor's.

Leviticus19

11 Ye shall not steal neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
13 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbor, neither rob him:


After explaining all this and hoping that he would have felt ashamed for having been stubbornly lusting for others wealth, I persuaded him to share the property with his sisters amicably. But what happened???


Stony heart and deafened ears

After almost an hours time of preaching all this to him, he told me that some how his sisters have found out that the documents of the property is with him.

Suddenly he asked me: “do you remember the brief case which I had given to you, on your arrival?? Please give that back to me, the documents of the property is in that brief case and I have to safe guard them from my sister’s hands”

My God My God, how stony the heart of man is and how deaf are his ears and how much does he lust for others wealth.

I had spoken with fear of the Holy Lord, filled with the fire of the Holy Spirit I spoke, but yet he was so numb to understand what he was doing because he was under the bondage of the Power of Darkness and he was not willing to invite the Power of the true light to shine in his life.

Shocked to the core and with a very sad heart I went back home.

Many of the following passages from the Bible kept ringing in my mind.

Mathew 11.15 He, who has ears, let him hear.

Revelation 22.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Nah 1:2 God [is] jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and [is] furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth [wrath] for his enemies


The next day as usual in the morning I left for my office. On the way I saw my neighbor watering the plants fully immersed in his gardening.

Back home that evening, I had my usual bath and was about to relax when I heart the door bell ring.

When I opened the door, there stood another neighbor whose face was terror struck.

I quickly let her in and anxiously waited to listen to what she had to say.

She was gasping for breath and went on to say that “He is no more” I asked who?? And she pronounced my neighbor’s name with great difficulty as she was still gasping.

I couldn’t believe my ears but she said that it was true and that he had gone for a prayer meeting where he had collapsed and was rushed to the hospital where he was declared dead.

I rushed to that particular hospital and found most of our neighbors and his relatives waiting for the body.

While all of them were waiting, at the far end of the building through a chink of the curtain, my eyes picked up something which resembled like his shoes.

Without telling anyone I rushed into that room and flung the curtain aside to see him lying on the table, his eyes still opened.

I cried bitterly and closed his eyes.

Oh how fast came the judgment, I asked “Lord is this why you asked me to warn him ???”

He was dead and gone.

His sisters sold the house and shared the money. His wife and children had to move out to a small rented house and even today they are suffering - all because of Disobedience.

Please refuse to conform to this world so that you will enjoy true blessing:

Your intellectual brain will make you stumble, lean on to the wisdom of God Almighty.

Fear of the Lord is the begining of wisdom.

Psalm 128
A song of ascents.
1 Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in his ways.

2 You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house;
your sons will be like olive shoots around your table.

4 Thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD.

5 May the LORD bless you from Zion all the days of your life;
may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem,

6 and may you live to see your children's children.
Peace be upon Israel.
