Fgb family restored

I have seen my mother as the hardest Hindu
She used to scold me when I mentioned first time the word ‘sin’
She became a believer just few months before my marriage
And she used to pray for my marriage.She lived to see my brother’s marriage
He also became a believer. My grand mother became a believer.
Now I’m the 3rd generation in my family
They both raced me in the Lord
11th hour believers

Baby miracle

I'd like to share my testimony for the glory of God.
I was conceived in dec'16. From day one I was praying for a healthy baby. To my shock, my 5th month scans showed anomalies n my doc threatened me saying there is a problem in my baby's head. I was completely shaken and spent the rest of the day weeping. My mother asked me a question and that made me realise whose daughter I was. The question was "how could words of a wordly doc drown u this much when you always look to your father in heaven?". I again started to pray for my baby's health, but this time, with greater faith. Changed my gynec and showed the reports. All glory to God. Doc said it was all fine. I continued to pray n led a very normal lifestyle.  I even drive alone to different places.God spoke to my husband that he should name the child Shalom. As this name is gender-neutral, we were not able to guess the baby's gender. August 28 was the due. Early morning at 1am on the 27th my membrane was ruptured n I was hurried to the hospital. No pain so asusual I was induced. Doctor's said they can for max wait for 72 hrs for normal delivery after the rupture. My womb was only some Milli meters open on admission. They kept increasing the dose every six hours but unfortunately my womb gave way only to some 5 cm after 2 days continuous suffering. I had already made up my mind not to utter any other word than Jesus however b d pain. God gave me strength to stick to that decision. Doctors n nurses pitied on my long stay in labour ward n few Christian nurses encouraged me to cling on to my calling Him. But when 73 hrs crossed, docs said that the womb is now open but the baby is not coming out so let's do a c-section. Theatre was made ready. My parents cried to God for help and in that time when the doc said, this is your final try. I pushed saying "Jesus help me". A beautiful baby was born on 30th August, 4:15am and it was a boy. All glory n Honor to God.. my son was absolutely healthy. Even in the darkest of times, let's cling to Him. I believe going through this prolonged labour is for His glory to be revealed some day. Amen!

SGB-testimony

My testimony..I was born in a Christian family that got converted from Hindu to Christian.My father and mother chose to select my name and named in church..think this could be the God's plan.. Studied in a Christian School though not close to God with all my ego ,pride with me...I was school third in school so still more had the notation' what is for me...' days passed and in 12th STD I was not recognize..I lost my marks and everything and no friends nothing was with people who said will never leave ..left  and only companion was my mother ..Did not even had the choice joined Bsc physics I'm WCC college but truly speaking I don't wanna go.But prayed and God changed my father s heart and brought form on the last day.
Somehow joined engineering​ college studied and learnt the love of  God and finally graduated and waiting for job..
No answer and my waiting period was almost 8 months .I had a big dream of joining Infosys.. From where I learnt don't know even iny second year I have wrote that in the Bible and kept.

One fine day during my waiting time God showed me that slip and clinged on to God claiming that and I can say that was my Golden period when I truly learnt the love of God and the Lord revealed his love for me.Now expecting to have the same time but ... Finally got selected in Infosys..with dream I entered but had really s tough time and.purely by God's grace I completed and came here to mcity.I was introduced to fellowship by my school friend Mishael and Jan 2012 I started going to Thursday fellowship and building prayer and these truly helped in many ways..The seal people have for God is really amazing.Got sisters like Juliet,Grace,Carol,Ajantha, Beulah,(Jansi,Angel -my bus.friends whom I will not allow them to work but asking so many doubts wrt to Bible .. Patiently Akka will respond) and few more who really are trusting people who really encouraged and made me come close to God..In few days time shifted to B4 and soon joined the building prayer with a lovely friend Anisha ..
Really I thank God for all the prayers she offered in the steps..
One thing i still remember is she prayed saying I should get a good husband and we should pray and my house should be like a little heaven..
God did honored and gave me guy who is from my same caste,just like us converted Christian's and made my marriage in a grand manner..My only prayer is Joshua s prayer "as of me and my family we should serve the Lord" .
I did conceived in 2016 and had my joy only for four weeks and lost my baby but I thank God did not even have DNC or anything .. Again I cried a lot and finally my prayer was on Nov 9th 2016 where holy Spirit prompted me to pray for a child and that week in church , Bhaskar Anna preached about shunamite lady and told by next year you will have a child .. Encouraged and that Wednesday went for normal checkup but I got confirmation that am pregnant

And God helped me find favor in office and finally blessed us with a beautiful girl baby born after 3 generation to my in-laws family..They all said that curse is there that every girl baby born to first male child died.
Even my father-in-law is first boy and did had that the girl baby was born and died... But to my husband who's is the first son now has the girl baby I believe God will show mercy on our child ..
And bless her...

Thanks for the fellowship without which would have lost hope in my Life.

Praise God for all Anna and Akka whom I received through this Fellowship

Delivered from curses.

Claim Jesus bore all our courses on the cross and pray... It's necessary to pray for it.. if possible with fasting. You need not fear but you need to pray.

We had problems in our family. In my mother's family there are 4 daughters. My mother is second. 1,2 and 4 th  daughters had committed abortion due to work related reasons.

Though they were Christians they were not rooted in Christ. So they didn't take it serious. And the result... 1st daughter had two daughters.. when they married they were unable to bear children..

2 nd one was my mother. For her also two daughters.. my sis n I. My sister didn't have a child for 10 long years. She had 3 abortions. But my sister and my brother in law prayed fervently.. they struggled a lot and now they are blessed with a boy.

I was also about to miscarry in my 2 nd month for both pregnancies but graciously rescued the babies and gave them a full term.. so what I say is these curses r true but there's nothing God cannot do.

When we confess and pray fervently God will definitely hear us and break all curses.. claim.all verses from the Bible and pray with faith

Delivered from restlessness

Dear all, wanted to thank each one of you for reviving my spirit today during demo sessions. Every week is a blessing. I want to share my testimony.

I was going through personal struggles in many areas which made me feel like I am in a pit. Was not able to be peaceful at home, office or anywhere. Although I fasted a week in the morning and prayed and cried a lot daily for deliverance, I was not completely out of worries which held me back in a pit. I did speak to Fshp friends which helped a little, last week's church message also spoke to me but not complete deliverance.

Today the illustration which Kural and Deepika gave on how she was holding to worries and not able to do anything.....  God spoke to me very clearly on what was holding me back and I had complete deliverance.  I feel so light  and peaceful. Praising God for each of you. 😊👍💃

Thank you for your prayers. God did deliver me today during vbs demo.

Illustration

Hi friends, I want to share my testimony to encourage you if you are stuck in worries/series of troubles.
On last Sunday, during our vbs practice in church, a very simple illustration just spoke to me very clearly. Illustration: You can imagine me Joyce holding on two big boxes in my hand which is almost touching my cheeks.

Now Beu wants to play with me and throws a ball to me. I try to catch but not able to. Oh it's worrying me, worries me, not able to play although I wish to....I'm so sad an worried.

Now Beu gives me a chocolate a favorite of mine to eat. I got it in my hand but still not able to open it. Oh again it's worrying me, poor me not able to eat the tasty chocolate. Oh I'm worried.

Now Beu asks me a help to write something on a chart that is on the floor. Again I try to bend to write but I am not able to. Oh worries me, worries me.... I'm not even able to write ... Useful for nothing.... Poor me ....

Moral of the illustration: once I handed over the boxes to Jesus, I was able to play, eat chocolate and write. After we pray, we still carry the how's, what's and why's of our problems. We need to give away the problems to Jesus at his feet and be free and happy. 😄👍💃

Saved from cult. JW.

I have a praise point related to this topic... My own sister Hannah is very timid, God loving sweet person and when she moved to Malaysia with her family, she didn't find good church nearby and few JWs started visiting her offering prayer help through her tough times.. after 5 yrs, she moved to Mangalore and one of the JW couple came to visit and made sure she connects with their Mangalore JW church.. and even if she missed one service or a bible study, someone will come and check on them... We tried to talk her out of it but she started arguing and calling my mom ignorant of truth.. at that point my mom and my bro stopped visiting her and my family almost fell apart because of the difference of opinion..

I prayed for her change of heart and asked my friends and fellowship to pray for her too... And read the book "kingdom of Cults" to learn more about JW and told my sister what is different about their teachings and what to look for...

Finally God answered our prayers .. six months back, she found something not adding up and she stopped going to that church and started going to the CSI church nearby.. she is not happy there Becos they focus more on offerings, sales and fellowships and not doctrines.. but God has somehow stopped her from going back to JW...

For those who think it happens somewhere, rethink.. it might happen in your own house or in your life when we start to follow wrong doctrines...watch and pray that your household is protected from it everyday

Saved from Cobra

A testimony: I called my dad yesterday morning. He went to the car shed at his residence at 530 in the morning. He usually does not switch on the lights, but yest he did. He entered and went to the right - on the left side he saw a fully grown cobra ready to attack. Since he has lived in the village in the early years of his life, he has always had his wits about him. He found something to throw on the snake and hit it with a stick continuously till it died.

Some background - my ancestors were cursed by some Hindu saint it seems for having stole his idols. He cursed my family saying you will die of snake bite. My grandpa's brother did. On the day my grandpa died a snake came to our house. We don't know how it entered - there is no possibility as we can see it. So the snake coming yest - a fully grown black cobra nonetheless, my mom is very scared.

I thanked God for saving my dad's life and when I did my daily reading - this the verse that touched my heart, deut 4:4 But you who held fast to the Lord your God are alive today, every one of you.

My father is not a believer yet. But knowing that he has been saved to continue to live has given me the additional assurance that he will indeed live to accept Jesus.

Beulah sends the message to pray for your loved ones everyday  - please do so. I do, I am not saying because of my prayers only my dad is alive. I am saying that your prayer has a value and a power. Don't underestimate regular prayer for your family members.

I know that under Christ there is no curse. He became that for us and saved us. We can only be blessed - no one can curse us. No weapon formed against you can prevail. So if you feel scared about curses, remember what Christ did on the cross for you. No evil will come nigh your dwelling place.

Chennai floods Dec11 2015

After thoughts #chennaifloods

Past week had been gruesome for those in Chennai. As someone stated in fb, the reality of having everything and yet nothing was a nightmare.
You have a high end phone, but no charge nor any signal
You have a house, but can't stay- as it is flooded
You have a car, but its jammed.
You have money in the bank, but no functioning ATM to draw cash.
A black out for days together- and no candle in the stores, no water in the lu, no milk, with vegetables in the refrigerator stinking, water in the ground floor, and some had it till first floor. Losing documents, beds, all electronic stuffs. For those in high rise buildings, no elevators. Imagine having a sick child, or an elderly at home?!
And above all the fear of losing a loved one in the rains.

Speaking to friends at work, I realize there had been some extraordinary moments on December 1, 2 at office. I am jotting them down, tired of asking them to write.

- Complete strangers, have accomodated Infoscions in their homes.
- Gave them dry warm clothes to wear, fed them with food, and a place to sleep.
- Strangers have given lift for Infoscions to reach Guduvanchery/Vandaloor, free of cost. ( Some did take exorbitant amount)
- Some stayed in Churches, some in Mosques
- Some stayed in SRM University classrooms

With phones switched off/no signal to contact their families, a total blackout, completely drenched and shivering in the cold rains, with feet sore walking on water for hours together, I can't imagine the ordeal they went through.

The next day wasn't better either. Getting back to their homes have been a struggle, where each Infoscion had been on their own, and taken their own decision, to reach home, by walk, bus, or own transport. Those who ventured back to office, had more difficulty ( No power/no water/no money in ATM in the DC)and reached their home only on Thursday!

I don’t want to blame, but what could have been done is
- The situation of the nearby lakes, could have been checked and declared holiday on that D day.
- When there was water on the campus –the decision to stop further buses- re-route/cancel shuttles to office could have been done.
- The Bus Drivers could have been informed, to take the buses directly to SRM.
- The train information sent by SMS, misled many. Most were stranded. The trains did not ply after 6.

Some notable points
- Most affected where married Infoscions- who try to get early to office and get out early.
- Some have checked the board in the morning and have started from home, inspite of the rain, to complete their work.
- Men in the bus, were slow to make decisions or lead or even help. Most of the women folks- have ventured out into the rain or walked across, in an attempt to get back to their homes and children.
- The campus was cleaned thanks to the housekeeping and facilities, and making it operational on Monday. I can’t imagine the amount of work involved. ( to know that the housekeeping staffs worked, to clean our campus, when their own homes were flooded and devastated)
- Few got a call from Mysore Infosys, asking about the well being/safety of the individual. ( I got it on Dec 6)
