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)

Really I don't have words to say how our Father has led us so far.

During 2016 September, I got a chance to travel onsite, for which I was following up for a very long time. Whenever we (myself + husband) used to pray we used to ask, 'Lord where ever we are we should be together as a family'. So when I got this onsite opportunity, we both discussed and decidde as I will travel first and he will be joining in few months along with my kid. I was literally broken to leave my kid and once all processing was started, I started telling my kid that I am going to travel and she will be joining me, once I am settled. She was like ok. On that day I was travelling I asked God , Lord she should not cry in the airport. Please console my little one. Amazingly she didn't cry. It was all managed. I thank our Father so much.

God gave good people around to help me out in finding house and a nice christian fellowship which I ever thought.

Post reporting at onsite, my husband and kid planned to travel by December last week 2016.. My husband has to resign his job as there is no other go for him to travel apart from that. He rang me up to let me know that he resigned his job and I gave him an update as current project is going to be closed by January and I don't know what is next?. Still we were like ok, we have decided and we have surrendered everything in Lord's hand, let only HIS will to happen and family joined me and that assignment got over by January 2017. When I was discussing about the next project with my manager, he said there is a project coming on April, you can go back and come back by April. I immediately replied back saying , If I am going back, I am not going to come back again' I don't know from where I got that guts to say. In 3 days same manager called me back and again confirmed me the statement I gave him. I said back again Yes I m not coming back. I don't want to shuffle with my family. Then he said ok there is a project for 1 month in another location but not related to my skill.I said its fine I have experience in that task as well I can manage.

We moved to the other location and I went office and my husband was looking for an accommodation for us. It was bit tough for us to get an accommodation in a week and we still didn't vacate our existing house. He got few appointment for viewing the house when we went to view the property, we were not even able to view the property and got the information from the agent as that house owner is not ready to let the property. Its not with just 1 house, it occurred with 2 property with similar reasons. By that week end we were about to finalize a property and I started from office early, when I reached hotel My husband said even this property they can't let. But we decided let's go and talk to the agent directly as just we need to sign the agreement and now its cancelled. we were like Lord why all these are happening. we went to the agent and they said they cant do anything but my husband was still discussing with the old man there and suddenly, by our God's grace he remembered they sold a property a week ago and checked whether its available . No one will believe , we got the property with all things we required...God alone granted it.

New assignment was only for 1 month and managers over there mentioned that they will try to figure out another assignment there itself by the end of 1 month. God granted the next assignment which I could work till the end of my visa duration. But those days were very tough to manage and our Father God help us to cross all those tough times.

New project was so good on the initial days but suddenly I was into a big storm which I didn't expect. My client manager was unhappy with me and it put me in to so much tension and pressure. At one point even my husband mentioned I don't want to see you going mad like this. I don't mind going back. Daily while I am travelling to office I kept reading Psalm 43. Later slowly the situation got changed. God helped me to prove myself in the same place. Hallelujah.

But the time I was leaving the same manager said I assure you, you will be back soon. we will work together. Its unbelievable Its all our Almighty work. I am nothing.

When I was travelling I came in a short term visa and as per company policies, we need 1 year cooling period to get the next visa processed. Before my visa processing was inprogress I mentioned my husband that we are worshiping a Lord who change everything. Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE to HIM. He will make a way. By the time I am at onsite, short term visa got cancelled by government itself and anyone can apply immediately for the next visa.


Again God made everything possible and we traveled back to onsite in a short duration. I was like I visited for a vacation. The same client manager mentioned, they need me in the project they are going to start. All was good. God helped us to finalize a house while we are in India itself. Once we are back we were able to get schools admission for our kid is a short duration.

Same manager mentioned we will travel together for a long time.. :-).. God alone made it happen. Its not me or my knowledge or my work...

Still my husband was looking for a job. He attended few interviews. On the day while he has to go for the interview we together neeldown and prayed Lord we need answers for this prayer by this month. His interview went fine but he was informed that they is an interview the next day based on that they will decide. But our Lord grant that job for my husband. HIS name alone to be glorified. Its been 1 yr 1 month he was looking for a job.. But God granted it in HIS right time.

All glory to HIM alone. I know there were so many was praying for me. Thank you Lord for answering the prayer.

There were peoples said I took a wrong decision. But for worldly eyes yes it is a wrong decision. But we as a family we took it trusting our father God. Thank God for putting a thought of oneness between us.


All glory to our Father.

As far me and my family will serve the Lord.

I cant count my blessings
