Renewed to Honor

I look onto you, to see the skies turning blue, For its been a long night of struggle and fear, I know that your voice calls me, in the midst of this storm Hold me tight that I walk across the waves and seas. For I am none and you are all I am the clay and you potter Take me in master – cover me in your wing This is my prayer and my love for you (Chorus) Shine -Shine on- Shine on me Pour -Pour out- Pour out your Spirit on me Consume every- weakness and pains Let your Son shine over me (..2) Your love is amazing , your mercies everlasting, Your Son sent on the cross, my Lord,my Jesus This great is your love that you tore away the skies, Sanctify me more, that I can bring you praise offerings You are our Father, You are our Lord We are Your children, humbly we stand This is our prayer, our earnest request, Let Your Holy Ghost dwell in us... Oh Lord... majesty.. shine (Chorus)

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

2 Timothy 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts. Big word, for small me! Praise the Lord, i am going through it, and many of you readers have or are going through it, and i promised God, i would write about it, but since it should be a dive into a relation, not a compromised relation with Christ, i think its time i address my problems too, and how God helps me to overcome. I always thought guys only are tempted, but with recent Christian reading, i realised both are. The following series may offend some of you, but i am ready to take a risk coz, i am "sick and tired" of falling for lust and sin, and i know many around me who are going through the same thing, and yet dont have an answer. thanks be to Lord, that he led Jeslin, Demis, Zeno (3 men of faith), into my life, and how their and others prayers are helping in my walk with Christ Jesus. Fact no 1: Baptism will NOT stop you from sexual thoughts/ lust/ pornography. Fact no 2: The truth of Jesus will only hurt you for the H...

The Fest of Atonement ( Falls on 2009 on Sunset of September 27 through nightfall of September 28 ) The above link is the festival of Jews known as Yom Kippur, the fest of atonement, ie:Atonement in Judaism is the process of causing a transgression to be forgiven or pardoned. and repentance. Jesus is the lamb of God, for repentance, He was born in this period as he was the sacrificial lamb, the festival of Atonement, was a shadow to Jesus, not on 25th December. i will be adding to the noise about these, please confirm with me the facts i am saying 1. a human lady, when pregnant takes : 40 weeks, though a normal range is from 37 to 42 weeks to give birth, ie in months 9.months , approx 7 days 2. its 27deg Celsius to -3 degree Celsius in December in Israel, in nights it can fall upto 10 degrees or even lesser, 3. sheep may survive cold but not so much, but those days even for poor shepherds rain and snow, see yahoo weather, Israel. 4. lets assume one thing here, Mary , mother of Jesus,...

A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. Ps 91:7 The above verse would be normal to you, but during my early views of Christianity, i thought the verse meant like in movies a sword would come and all people around you may fall or die and you would be kept alive just because we believe in God, but Lord showed it was not so. We as Christians undergo many trials and temptations daily, but the better fun is got when we see the hand of God, like how Moses was kept safe from the glow and power of Holy One, we too find this hand sometimes in our lives. You see, i have to walk for five minutes daily from bus stand to my office, and well in the middle of the path there is a bypass road, it connects Mount Road and GN Shetty road( for those who lived in Chennai), this small road is not bigger than 5m wide, any way i crossed the road, there was a lady ahead of me, and a man who was also walking with me, we all crossed the (small but busy roa...

Music and Lyrics : : Roshen Oomen Philip & Subin A. Mathew (First Paragraph) Can a mother forget her baby crying out to her? Can a whale keep you safe without eating you alive?

Music and Lyrics : Subin A Mathew All night long on my bed I looked for the one my heart loved Mmmhhmm….hmmm..mmmhmmm hmmm Without you Lord, the air I breathe is empty, Without you Lord, the water I drink is bitter, Without you Lord, the labor of my hands are wasted, Without you, Without you, Oh let me not be. Come! – Pour into my life the new wine, Oh Come, – Kiss me for your kiss is better than wine, Come! – Restore your Holy Spirit in me, Oh come my Lord, here I am. Without you Lord, I lie awake all through the night Without you Lord, I tremble with fear, Without you Lord, I am weary and I am lost, Without you, Without you, Oh let me not be. Hasten God to save me, O’ Lord come quickly to help me, Oh Lord my Father, you are my lives desire, In the quietness, early in the morning, I shall give you my love. Come! – Pour into my life the new wine, Oh Come, – Kiss me for your kiss is better than wine, Come! – Restore your Holy Spirit in me, Oh come my Lord, here I am. Come! – Pour into m...

NIV : JOB 19:25-29 25 I know that my Redeemer [a] lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. [b] 26 And after my skin has been destroyed, yet [c] in [d] my flesh I will see God; 27 I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me! 28 "If you say, 'How we will hound him, since the root of the trouble lies in him, [e] ' 29 you should fear the sword yourselves; for wrath will bring punishment by the sword, and then you will know that there is judgment. [f] " Now see the first two lines, they give me hope. I was given a shock of my life then. It was very sweet. The next verse was even sweeter and holy, sanctifying me. The next verse was dinner....Sorry it was the best line i cud use from a movie.. Music and Lyrics... The last two verses were words to correct... (the MORE) well now i use a Theophilos a sofware and NIV here for some help. now Job as you may know the story is gone down, all lost pretty much like if i say ...

Music And Lyrics: Subin A Mathew (Passage 1) The way that i shouldn't travel, Now has became a burden on my soul, The path that i kept on taking, mistakes repeating,broke me down today; The way just changed, all of a sudden, Went away my burdens,When i just bowed, I felt an angel, holding me up, And then i knew i was not returning,and thats when.. I just realized my life renewed, To seek your name, I just saw how clearly,you loved me, So i will.. Sing it out,I'll Sing it 'loud, Cause I know your grace, (Chorous) You gave myself a new song to sing, You gave myself a great new voice to praise, You gave myself a new song to sing, You showed me your way; to scream out praises to you Lord- I'll love you for ever more and more... So i sing... Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah to my King, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah to my lord, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah to my king, Hale-lu-jee-ahh.... Hallelujah! to my King of Kings! (Passage 2) The way was hard, terribly fain...

And ever since in my life , Lord had been important and been feared much cause family wanted to make sure i don't fall or move away from Lord. I was taught in Sunday school , was participating in church activities. Lord had his hand to guide me and some how i found myself more complete in his love. But his was very vague. I was more church oriented. I was busy trying to be a world pleasures not realizing any importance of life and living. My childhood had few bad incidents but God lead me through it. Dad was very strict in fact i hated him then, he was caring but his care was more shown in anger and gifts. i on other hand wanted a father who would talk to me, teach me stuff and help me in stuff or some things. Mummy was there for me. in every thing she was a blessing for me. she helped me with my home work, supporting me with everything and helping me and caring for me. she taught me love and care, while dad from him i learned courage and that i should be respected and one very imp...

unfortunately ( you can take this as a warning) my mum when she was pregnant with me ( not knowing she was carrying me) had taken some medicine for some fever, but it produced bad results, and when i was born i had 2 hands and 2 feet, just like you, and was perfect, but later into life about age 1 and 1/2 i was detected with some small trouble with kidneys which led to a major operation in which case i could even have died, there was from my grand mother's younger years a prayer group at my area, mainly marthomite and ecumenical, had got on their knees , my daddy ( as i came to know recently) had been crying bitterly to Lord for me, almost all in the area i live, ( even today) say " I AM GOT BY PRAYERS" and this is my first testimony, there was a certain achen ( priest) who was said to intercede for my life, and my God heard their cries and the cries of my family and started his touch on to me. This is my story, my song, the very first note of the life he wanted me to sin...

my grandmother is a God fearing person, her dad ( my great grand father) had been involved in revival ministries and this blessing was given to all of us. her brother had taught at marthoma seminaries and some of her brothers are/were involved/initiators of many movements. but as time faded the church was established more of a building than the community that began it. But i believe that as said in Jer 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." ( my grand mother told about her family to me " my dad had been a part of a great revival, in kallissery we organized palm leaves( olla) roofed prayer centres and they used to jump in that rejoicing and praising the Lord, i had been a part of this revival, it was the blessing that my father carried that was given to all my generations, i can proudly say that the Lord has not let any of my children or their children gone astray...

it was a blessing from Lord that i had to come here on earth leaving his bosom, but the path he had for me had a destiny, a path that he wanted me to follow so he had predestined me to a path to follow, and he never wanted my family to oppose it in anyway.

This is a close and some what edited version of my Life and How the Lord found me and not he other way around
