My friends once again I welcome all of you to my blog.yesterday at 10.30 pm I opened the Bible to have the normal scriptural reading,I do it normally from 10.30pm to 11.30 pm and after that I read a portion of any spiritual book before I go to bed.(presently I am reading the book ``all things are possible with God ``by kathryn kulhman.So I opened the bible to read.This time I decided to read the bible slowly which normally i dont do.I read the complete New testament for one time and for the second time I am going to complete .(I am at Revelation 4th chapter).But the two complete readings didnt give me any deeper wisdom.so I followed Bro.Zac poonens advice to read the bible slowly.I just opened the book of Luke and my friends I came out with an information which i am going to share it now.And I am surre that I was filled with a supernatural power that helped me for about an hour to understand the word,and i am sure the power is god the holy spirit.
so coming to the point I would like to ask you a question, in how many of your christian services you ever heard about Mary and why God chose only Mary and what can we learn from Mary.you might have listened but I hardly ever listened(i think only once).I mean to say there were many a few times that we heard someone preaching about Mary and her greatness.Now I say my friends if you read the first chapter yes only the first chapter of the Luke ,you will come to know volumes about Mary ,the mother of christ.Its true and I experienced it yesterday.I will now share it .
(This is just my understanding of the sccripture,if anyone feels inconvenient they may skip the reading)
All the scriptures are taken from the HOlY BIBLE ,New International Version
In Luke first chapter we find that Mary came to know about Elizabeth`s pregnancy through the angel Gabriel.(ch-1,35-36) and we find that Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea(ch-1,39).You know why Mary left for judea from Nazareth, its not only to share what the angel spoke to her but also she knows that elizabeth is in her sixth month and elizabeth will be in deep need of help .Mary was so kind that she literally hurried so that she can help elizabeth.(and also she can share the joy with her).Elizabeth was an old women(ch-1,18) and so she will not be in a position to do her works and she is in her sixth month.And also there is Zachariah who is also old.So Mary must have thought all these things in her mind before leaving for the town.This shows her readiness to help others at any time.Now a days how many christians are thinking about others.
Also if we find about the distance between the Nazareth and the town in judea,it is almost 125 km.(just browse about this in internet).I dont think she might have used a cart or a donkey ,she might have travelled on foot.125 kilometers alone without any one just to help a old woman who is in need .Imagine the amount of kindness and helping nature she has.
so she meets elizabet at Zachariah`s house and at once greets Elizabeth(verse 39),then we find Mary singing a song(verse 46-verse 55).So its always healthy to sing praise to God if we are filled with joy.Now my friends carefully look at the song,you will find Mary praising the lord in verse49,50,51,52,53,54,55.That means Mary is an ardent reader of the Old testament .She has good command over the old testament ,thats why she could sing which included all the mighty things God did to her ancestors.she is not only an ardent reader but a strong doer also(verse48).she says in verse 48 that the lord is mindful of the humble state of his servant.If you look carefully she is speaking about herself that she is a servant and also humble ,so she had the qualities which god always wants us to have, humbleness and meekness.
and here i will have to say an important information.By the time she reached Elizabeths house she came to know that Zachariah is not able to speak and also he is old and also there is elizabeth in her old age in her 6th month.So Mary must have struggled hard to help the two old people of which one cannot speak and the other in her sixth month.Just think in the present days willanyone take care of such people.May be they takes care for a few days .But we find in verse 56 that she stayed with elizabeth for 3 months.unbelievable 180 days serving the two old people.I am sure that Mary must have worked and struggled hard to serve those two people.see her kindness and her willingness to help.
And finally here is one more quality of Mary which I found .It says in verse 56 that she left after three months so Mary was sure that at any time the baby would take birth(john the prophet).But she left at the last momet not to take the credit of her service.Because she knew that all her(elizabeths) relatives and neighbours would come and elizabeth will be praising Mary for all her service.But Mary did not want to have the credit .So she simply left after arranging everything for the Elizabeth to conceive child.She was not there when elizabeth conceived John.This is what we have to learn.Always giving glory and praise to his name.He should be highest and we should always be lowest.
you see my riends how qualified Mary is .She had all the biblical knowledge,she is humble and meek,she is having a helping heart and more over she wants every praise to go for the LORD.
I personally think that because of all these qulaities only God chose Mary the virgin ,to be the mother of christ jesus.She might have had many other beautiful qualities.
So my friend s there is a lot to learn from many people in the bible.we will come to know only if we read the bible slowly and ask god the holy spirit to reveal the scirpture for you.we all must have all the qualities of Mary.Thats why she is the blessed woman on the Earth.
I thank god the holy spirit for helping me to write down in the post which He revealed to me.
All the praise and honour,and glory be to HIM.

GOD said,``I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go I will guide you with my eyes``,.........and thats what HE is doing with me right now
My friends in christ,I thank god for bringing another posting which describes gods amazing ways and his guidance in my life in a unknown land.let me tell you first of all I was very happy before the very next day of my journey to japan.The day of my journey to japan was really gloomy,not knowing which place I was going.But god blessed me with sufficient knowledge and wisdom so that i reached japan without a single problem.I was assingned with a tutor and he came to the airport to pick me up.Tutor in japan means `who cares for`.so he will be taking all responsibility regarding my enrollment,registering for dormitory,registering for id card,opening a bank account,getting alien registration certificate.etc etc....so God blessed me with a caretaker in the unknown land.so till now my tutor is performing very good job regarding my case.he is younger to me (about 3 years).He is doing masters course in my university and also research in my department.Luckily he has a car and all my journey to all the offices was travelled in his car.normally it takes one full day for each registraion,but all my enrollment procedure and all the registrations were done within a single day and we saved a lot amount of time.Thus God had already appointed a tutor with a car to take care of me.
Now the very big headache is to get a phone,there are lot of formalities for foreigners in japan and it is normally in practice that they take the international phone cards as they are cheaper than the phone calls from phone(usually it is 100 yen per minute about 50 rupees ).But through these cards we can call to our home with less han 6yens around 3 rupees.so normally and generally foreigners prefer cards to phones.But the big question about them is where to get them.Normally there are avilable only at tokyo and some metros in japan,but the place i live is ony a city and the cards are not available..it was already 5 days that i called up to my home and i am getting depressed.i prayed for that and put the problem in front of jesus christ .I prayed on saturday (i arrived on monday and five days were over).i prayed to god first to show me a nice church to go on the next day.Now I will say the miracle of lord.After two days of my arrival I came to know from my professor that another indian is coming to my department to do his post doctoral fellowship .he arrived and we introduced to each other and i told him that i am a christian.He replied me that he is also a christian and he is from chennai.His name is EdwardRaja.I am very happy and from then onwards we became close friends.So both of us decided to find a church on the next sunday.so on sunday on 11-04-2010 we left for the city to find a church.we found it in a place called susengi.but it was only a japanese service church,we were disaapointed a little bit.but on our return journey a miracle happened.we were waiting for the train at the subway and i saw a lady from africa talking over a coin phone at some distance.Instantly I went upto there and waited till she completed her calling.After that I introduced myself to her and said that I am a christian.she was very happy to hear that and said she too believed in jesus christ and she is also a christian.her name is patience.(very beautiful name na).so I asked her about her arrival to japan ,she said she came here nearly one year ago and said that she knows all the places of the city and told about the church she attends(english service).My heart filled with joy and she even said that jesus christ might have sent her one year ago to make life easier for me in japan.she also amitted that she faced the same problems when she arrived for the first time(regarding phone calls). I asked her whether she can help me to get a card so that i can be in touch with my home india.And to my surpise she said that she sells those cards ,nomally the cards have different talktimes to different countries.and the talktime to india is about 4 hours and 50 minutes .she was surprised to hear this message from the phone card and told me that i got the maximum talking time than many other countries.so i bought a card for myself and my friend also took one.she is doing her doctoral course in the same university but in the chemical engineering.so we are happy happy to meet her.she gave her mail id and phone number.
Thus my friends what did you understand from all this.God already knows our want and needs but he waits whether we bring them before him or not.Even in the academics he is teaching me and guiding me as to how to start the research.i completely leaned over him and came to a stage that without jesus christ and god the holy spirit it is difficult for me to put next step ahead.Regarding food and fruits god is dealing in miraculous way.
.........
Also my spiritual life began to spring and god is leading me and guiding me.All this happened to me because of only one thing ,I believed in Jesus christ and the Holy scriptures.I believe in what he said``I will insruct you and teach you in the way you should go and I will guide you with my eyes`.And I am bold to say‘If god is with me ,who can be against me`.I pray god that I should be a blessing to others in all things ,i pray for my health so that i can be a blessing for others,i pray for xcellence in subjects so that i can be a blessing for otherrs,i pray for my spiriual life so that i can be a blessing for others and help others.So with this I can gorify jesus christ.IF YOU ALSO ASK AND PRAY JESUS CHRIST SO THAT IN EVERTHING YOU WILL BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS BUT NOT FOR SELF,then god will answer every prayer .the only difference is the way you pray.i came to know that i should not ask for myself but ask so that I will be a blessing for others.then anything you assk will be according to the will of the god.
so I will be back with lots of other miracles which god isgoing to do in my life and his guidance in my research field.till then enjoy your companionship with god the holy spirit.
with lots of wishes
