No chains

  ACTS 12 : 7 - 10 :Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. "Quick, get up!" he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists.
8Then the angel said to him, "Put on your clothes and sandals." And Peter did so. "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me," the angel told him. 9Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision. 10They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him.
So this blog is not about all broken chains... its about how God was too good to me and helped me through various situations.. one being Green Card or Entry...
as for many of you you know what a green card is... an entry / resident permit into USA.. my green card is a bit different... the place is where the difference comes in..
so well at parithipara marthoma church, we went recently for carols, at nite 6pm to 11 pm though various houses in the city, town, village ...

yesterday as usual( not for me... but for the youth guys) it ended late around 12 am... so my hostel gate is usually closed around 10 pm... i had to get in... the gate keeper must be told in advance about this late coming, which i didn't... so the story is this.. i was late and had to get in...
Melvin one of my friends asked me... and i said God will provide the way... and he did...
so i reached the gate and saw it closed, so i got of my bike and went to the gate to call the gate keeper from outside the gate and saw it was not locked..i pushed the gate and it opened... i rode into the hostel and closed the gate behind me and rode past few seminary students who were decorating the crib..
i entered through a back door and reached my room.. i remembered the story of Peter,.. and saw God is even capable of doing greater things EVEN today and our God is an awesome God...

by the way how many people have heard "rock me sexy Jesus".... i wont complain against this song... coz its kind of sweet to hear ...its from Hamlet 2 (an english movie 2008 release).... take care ..
love ..subZ

The Nativity - by Gari Melchers

This could be my first ever critique of art that I have ever written and that is because it is only recently art has captured my interest as much as this work. This write up is made both in English and German as I want to practice my German.  'The Nativity' by Gari Melchers.  I am not an art expert and my critique is from a layman's point of view, but bear with me. I have tried reading some information about the art and the culture behind it and I have my two favourite blog posts about the same work and yes,  I have shamelessly copied some of their thoughts. Woebegone but Hopeful and other is by Lisa VO . Julius Garibaldi Melchers (August 11, 1860 – November 30, 1932) was an American artist. He was one of the leading American proponents of naturalism. He won a 1932 Gold medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.[1] - Wikipedia The Nativity is painted during the peak of realism movement - in a gritty and less idealised ma...

Testimonies

This is an extract from a mail I had written to my friends and I wish that most of you my readers would get this message too. I want to tell you about a few testimonies that changed my perception of testimonies. Most of you may have heard me say this many times, but then since its that good, I wish your Christmas memories could include this one too.  The first story occurs in a little village of pullad. Now that is in Kerala, and for those who do not know where it is, the place is near kumbanad, and around 15 Kms from Chengannur/ Thiruvalla and some where in the mid point between ernakulam and trivandrum .  SEE IT ON MAP I HAD WRITTEN THE STORY IN A BETTER FORMAT OVER AN YEAR AGO. SEE TOTALLY SIMPLE FAITH.  It is a village more than a town , with rubber trees, bugs and the sweet sound of rain in the woody and leafy region, so it cooler and humid than most other parts of kerala. So, i was here, in a prayer meeting run by a pentecostal group called the hallelujah pra...

Spirit of the Lord and his Standards

The chapter Isaiah 59 is a very meaningful chapter. The chapter begins with the prophet telling us that God has not run away from us or nor is he hiding that our tears cannot be seen or our cries cannot be heard. But when we went away from God, we were also neglected justice by others and God saw that his children were oppressed and were denied justice and as it is said in in Isaiah 59:15(b) . This is our God. Although we are sinners he says and that there were no one who could stand for you as mediators , God would bring you the salvation. The Lord is at my right hand, he is there to protect me, but let me tell you that God is also there to guard you from sinning. The verse Isaiah 59:19 , is the most important verse that we should remember when we are tempted. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight*. Isaiah 59:19 What does this verse mean to you? This is what I have understood and I follow. You ...
