We had a debate on Abrahams faith in our house a couple of weeks back.
1. Abraham was asked to leave his family and go
Abraham took his Brother along with him
Result - Soddom Gomorrah
2. Abraham was asked to go to cannan
Abraham went to Egypt cos there was famine in Cannan
Result - Sarah was taken by Egypts king as Abraham lied about Sarah as his sister
3. Abraham was promised a son
Abraham bore a son via the slave girl
Result - World being split by Muslims and Jews
Looking at all this, we argued that how could Abraham be the father of faith. Was not he the reason for all the war in the World. All the bitterness and hatredness. If Abraham was the father of faith - "Why did he not wait for Sarah to bore him a son?"
Our Father wanted to prove his point of why Abraham was "FATHER OF FAITH".
Certain activities went wrong in my current organization and I wanted to try out. In fact the Lord was so sweet, that offers came from 2 big giant companies. I went till the last round of 1 gaint company and yet could not clear it.
I went to the final rounds of the second giant company and went all the way till HR round. (Usually anybody who goes to HR Round is considered selected) - The Lord had promised me the Job in this organization for I could hear him speak to me in my consiousness.
Yet the Lord wanted only 1 thing from me
"Do not call the company back, they would call me back to inform my status" - This was what the lord told me. The Lord wanted to test my Faith and patience.
Though I had faith in MY FATHER, I ran out of patience and made a call to the company. The HR said things were looking good and I should get a call.
- First Proof of Lord that the Job was mine
I apologized to my Lord and said I will keep my promise and faith and would not initiate any contant with the Org.
Again I had not got any call from the company - I LOST MY PATIENCE and sent a mail to the HR asking what the status was. I got a call the next day stating. Things were looking good and everything should get processed in 3 to 4 days
- Second Proof of the Lord
Again after 4 days as I had not got any call, I dropped in a mail AGAIN.
Thats when the Lord remainded me of Abraham
Abraham too had faith, just like how I believed that the Job was mine - (Though its human to keep doubting our father. Our father loves us even when we doubt his sincerity)
Abraham was 100 yrs old and Sarah was 90. Abraham still had faith. We are not sure when the Lord would have said Abraham would have kids. Probably at the age of 40 max. For 60 years Abraham trusted the Lord. 60 LONG YEARS. Even now Abraham trusted the lord, but probably just ran out of patience.
He probably assumed that the slave girl was the will of the Lord - How else would Sarah herself come and ask Abraham to bore a child through the slave girl. Abraham probably thought this was the will of the father. Abraham never doubted the Father, he only assumed what the father might have wanted him to do.
I could not wait for 2 weeks. Abraham waited for 60 yrs.
Abraham, I am sorry to have doubted your faith. Strenthen our faith and help not make the same mistake you committed. Let us know the will of the Father..

Jesus the Redeemer
Hello All,
I had been wanting to create a blog for a loving Lord for quite some time, alas I always kept saying I did not have much time.
Then I had a pain in the wrist. For the very beginning, I knew it was because of my life which was always a constant battle for the love of my god and pleasuse of my flesh. Most of the time flesh always over pwered my love for Lord. We all know that a few moments of pleasure and then days of weeping over it.
I am just here to say, our good Lord Jesus came into the World to accept and bear our sins. A lot of people then say, that can we continue living in sin. The Bible has allready answered "Death is the result of sin". Then does it mean the Lord Jesus blood was shed for NOTHING
Ofcourse not, Lord knew that the battle between Flesh and Love for him is always there. Yet he wanted to feel it for himself. So he came down into earth to fight his battle.
Do you think the lord did not suffer any temptation. Do you think he never would have lost his temper over his personal gains or laziness and tiredness never infected his body or wine would have tasted sour in his tongue or above all the beauty of his own creation never teased his eyes. He would have all these emotions, yet he never succumbed to it. Yet Joy for all of us, for the Lord now knows the battle and in order to redeem us gave his own blood and Flesh.
When the lords blood fell in Gesthemane or the blood spurted out in whip lashes or the blood that oozed out when the thorn was placed on his for head or the flesh that was torn with the whip lash or the bllod that came down from his knees when he fell down or the flesh and blood which was torn when nails pierced his body or finally the blood that spurted out when his heart was pierced - all the blood and flesh was gestheme for each and every one us.
Well the Lord gave for all is a understatement. The Lord shed each and every drop of his blood and flesh for ME and only me. Thats the truth. He gave his life for each one of us. He loves each and every one of us personally.
Coming back to my miracle - The pain on my wrist was due to Carpal tunnel syndrome. I was about to be operated. I never prayed till the last moment, cos I knew it was because of my desire for flesh which caused it. My guilty feeling stopped my for recieving the abundant blessing of Lord. Somehow just before the operation, I prayed this most pwerful prayer
"Dear Loving Father, my love, my faith or my obedience is so less for me to ask my father for any miracle, yet Daddy I believe your love is greater than all these. In your love cure me"
And Unbelieveble the doctor said, it need not be operated. I am not stating the pain has gone down, but who am I to stop from recieving the Love of God. If the Lord wants to get cured, I would, but if he wants me to carry my own cross, so that I can proclaim his sweetness, I most glad to do that so.
All I ask please share your simple poweful prayers and the miracles you have been recieving. We use technology so much for others, why not use it to profess our Lords Love
