Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting 23:22 mark.Matthew 24:29-31 – “But immediately after the tribulation of those days the son will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.  And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.  And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.” ആ കാലത്തിലെ കഷ്ടം കഴിഞ്ഞ ഉടനെ സൂര്യൻ ഇരുണ്ടുപോകും; ചന്ദ്രൻ പ്രകാശംകൊടുക്കാതിരിക്കും; നക്ഷത്രങ്ങൾ ആകാശത്തു നിന്നു വീഴും; ആകാശത്തിലെ ശക്തികൾഇളകിപ്പോകും.  അപ്പോൾ മനുഷ്യപുത്രന്റെ അടയാളം ആകാശത്തു വിളങ്ങും; അന്നു ഭൂമിയിലെസകലഗോത്രങ്ങളും പ്രലാപിച്ചുംകൊണ്ടു, മനുഷ്യപുത്രൻ ആകാശത്തിലെ മേഘങ്ങളിന്മേൽമഹാശക്തിയോടും തേജസ്സോടും കൂടെ വരുന്നതു കാണും.  അവൻ തന്റെ ദൂതന്മാരെ മഹാകാഹളധ്വനിയോടുംകൂടെ അയക്കും; അവർ അവന്റെ വൃതന്മാരെ ആകാശത്തിന്റെ അറുതിമുതൽഅറുതിവരെയും നാലു ദിക്കിൽനിന്നും കൂട്ടിച്ചേർക്കും.There are three different interpretations or teachings about the timing of the second coming of Jesus on the clouds to pick up His loved ones from the dead and the alive. The second coming is called rapture also.  Before His coming, there will come a big tribulation in the world. The interpretations are that He will come before the tribulation begins or in the middle of the tribulation or after the tribulation.  The only way we can confirm the timing of the coming of Jesus on the clouds is by reading the word of God from the Scriptures.  According to the Scriptures, the coming of Jesus on the clouds will be towards the end of the tribulation period.  The saints of God will be on the earth during the tribulation.  The way Jesus comes,  the different tribulations, the signs of the end times, and the things that should happen before that are discussed.    My name...

The life of Abraham is a testament to the power of faith, obedience, and trust in God.  Abraham had a long and challenging journey. Throughout this journey, he worked hard and experienced grief and blessings.  We know through Abraham that God always keeps His promises. We may not have all the answers but God surely does. The life and legacy of Abraham continues to influence the world today.  Despite the challenges he faced, he remained steadfast in his commitment to God. Additionally, his covenant with God is seen as a precursor to the New Covenant established by Jesus Christ.   Abraham is mentioned many times throughout the books of the Old Testament and New Testament. When we commit to obey God, we will be blessed through generations.My name... Cicilysunny@gmail.com

Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 19:25 mark.The Apostle Paul played a crucial role in spreading the gospel to the Gentiles during the first century, and his missionary journeys took him all throughout the Roman empire.  Saul and Paul are Hebrew and Greek versions of the same name.  Paul was a devout Jew who persecuted Christians.  When he got an encounter with Jesus Christ, a transformation occurred in Paul.  He became one of the most influential leaders of the early Christian church.  He started considering the righteousness of his Jewish faith as of less value compared to the righteousness that comes from faith in Jesus Christ (Philippines 3:8,9).  Paul was entirely different from a nominal  Christian. He took Christianity to his heart, worked hard to propagate the message of Jesus, desired for everyone to inherit the kingdom of God, underwent persecutions for the name of Jesus,  and suffered shipwreck, prison, whipping, hunger etc. 2nd Timothy 4:7,8 – “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have love His appearing.” ഞാൻ നല്ല പോർ പൊരുതു, ഓട്ടംതികെച്ചു, വിശ്വാസം കാത്തു. ഇനി നീതിയുടെ കിരീടം എനിക്കായി വെച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; അതു നീതിയുള്ളന്യായാധിപതിയായ കർത്താവു ആ ദിവസത്തിൽ എനിക്കു നല്കും; എനിക്കു മാത്രമല്ല, അവന്റെ പ്രത്യക്ഷതയിൽപ്രിയംവെച്ച ഏവർക്കുംകൂടെ.1st Corinthians 2:2 – “Paul said, “For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” ക്രൂശിക്കപ്പെട്ടവനായ യേശുക്രിസ്തുവിനെ അല്ലാതെ മറ്റൊന്നും അറിയാത്തവനായി നിങ്ങളുടെ ഇടയിൽഇരിക്കേണം എന്നു ഞാൻ നിർണ്ണയിച്ചു.My name...

Ten points about Peter are discussed: the choosing of Peter, the foundation of the Christian church, the weakness of Peter, the repentance of Peter, the strengthened Peter, the healing gift of Peter, angels in the life of Peter, the works of the Holy Spirit through Peter, Peter's teachings, how Jesus prepared Peter, and the rewards for Peter and other apostles.  Any weak or sinful person can become strong when the Holy Spirit comes upon the person. My name...

 Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 13:55  mark.  In the Old Testament God points towards the coming of the Savior, Jesus Christ.  All the messages of Father God are revealed in the Old Testament through different prophets.  The New Testament reveals the fulfillment of the prophesies in the Old Testament.  No one in the world other than Jesus has a special kind of birth, death, resurrection and ascension to heaven.  No one else in the world has ever done several miracles, forgiven sins, and given the promise  to come back to get us to heaven.  God has revealed to us everything about His Son, Jesus, through different prophets  centuries before Jesus came down to the earth.   Prophesies about twelve areas of the life of Jesus are discussed. My name...

 John 8:12-428:29 – Jesus said, “And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do these things that are pleasing to Him.” എന്നെ അയച്ചവൻ എന്നോടുകൂടെ ഉണ്ടു; ഞാൻ എല്ലായ്പോഴുംഅവന്നു പ്രസാദമുള്ളതു ചെയ്യുന്നതുകൊണ്ടു അവൻ എന്നെ ഏകനായി വിട്ടിട്ടില്ല ” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു. Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 14:20 mark.All people other than atheists believe in God.  The only person in the world who has revealed God with authority  is Jesus Christ because He is the only Son of God.   Lots of people believe in God without knowing who He is.  If they have known that Jesus is speaking about the same God, they would have loved Jesus.  People who love Jesus do so because they believe in God and know about Him through Jesus.  Because of the ignorance of people, they love religions more than God, call different gods, worship idols and ignore Jesus who is the Savior of the world and who dedicated His life for the redemption of each and every one of us. It is the desire of Father God and Jesus to bring everyone in the world to heaven.  The spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, is still in our midst to guide, help and heal us.   My name...

John 5:6 – When Jesus saw him  lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to Him, “Do you wish to get well?” അവൻ കിടക്കുന്നതു യേശു കണ്ടു, ഇങ്ങനെ ഏറിയകാലമായിരിക്കുന്നു എന്നറിഞ്ഞു: “നിനക്കു സൌഖ്യമാകുവാൻ മനസ്സുണ്ടോ ” എന്നു അവനോടു ചോദിച്ചു. Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 13:48 mark.At the pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem a multitude of sick people lay to get well.  One sick man was lying there for thirty- eight years.  During certain seasons, an angel stirred up the water, and whoever stepped in the water first got healed.  When Jesus saw this man, He knew that he had already been in that condition for a long time.  Jesus knew his heart.  That is why He went towards him and asked if he desired to get healed.  He explained his helplessness saying that every time he wanted to enter the pool, someone else got into the pool as there was no one there to help him.  This means that he wanted to get well.  John 5:8 – Jesus said to him, “Get up, pick up your pallet and walk.” യേശു അവനോടു: “എഴുന്നേറ്റുനിന്റെ കിടക്ക എടുത്തു നടക്ക” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.Immediately the man became well, picked up his pallet, and began to walk.  The cause of sicknesses, the need of faith in healing, the secret behind healing, the need of glorifying God once healed,  our awareness about the need of healing, the areas where healing is needed, and how we can get healing are discussed.My name...

Luke 12:8,9 – “And I say to you, everyone who confesses me before God, the Son of Man will confess him also before the angels of God; but he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.” മനുഷ്യരുടെ മുമ്പിൽ ആരെങ്കിലും എന്നെ ഏറ്റുപറഞ്ഞാൽ അവനെ മനുഷ്യപുത്രനുംദൈവദൂതന്മാരുടെ മുമ്പാകെ ഏറ്റുപറയും.  മനുഷ്യരുടെ മുമ്പിൽ എന്നെ തള്ളിപ്പറയുന്നവനെദൈവദൂതന്മാരുടെ മുമ്പിൽ തള്ളിപ്പറയും. Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 17:44 mark.First of all we should acknowledge that God is our sovereign authority who is in control of everything in the universe.  Our God is faithful and true to His promises in all situations. He remains steadfast during moments of challenges and blessings.  He is powerful enough to increase our faith and hope.  When we acknowledge God, it transforms our understanding of the world around us. We will get the realization that we are never alone and that He walks beside us.  It will develop humility and gratitude within us.  It will teach us that every good thing comes from Him and that we should thank God genuinely.  When we acknowledge Him, He will fill us with love, grace, and purpose in everything we do.  This recognition empowers us to face challenges with a sense of peace and assurance that He is watching over us.  We can acknowledge God in our daily life in many ways.My name...

Isaiah 58:4-11 & Matthew 12:43-45(Please not the the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 16:6 mark). Fasting is a word familiar to most humans, irrespective of religion.  Anyone can do fasting any time according to their  need in life, relationship with God and prayer style.  Every honest fasting done is honored by God, irrespective of religion and denomination.   It is very acceptable  that people cry out to God in times of difficulties and tribulations through honest prayer and fasting.  In the Bible we can see that several people wore sack clothes, sat on ashes, prayed and fasted during difficult times, and God heard their prayers.   Fasting is a familiar term  for Christians. True fasting means a lot more that giving up a few food items for a few days. Keeping away from food or  drinks or abusive habits for a few days and going back to that intentionally is not the fasting God desires.  Through fasting we should gain strength to resist the temptation of the devil.Matthew 12:43 - “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man , it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it.”" അശുദ്ധാത്മാവു ഒരു മനുഷ്യനെ വിട്ടു പുറപ്പെട്ടശേഷം നീരില്ലാത്ത സ്ഥലങ്ങളിൽ കൂടി തണുപ്പു അന്വേഷിച്ചുകൊണ്ടു സഞ്ചരിക്കുന്നു; കണ്ടെത്തുന്നില്ലതാനും. '44 - Then it will return to the house and find it unoccupied, swept and put in order.12:45 - “Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.  That is the way it will also be with this evil generation.” "പിന്നെ അവൻ പുറപ്പെട്ടു, തന്നിലും ദുഷ്ടതയേറിയ വേറെ ഏഴു ആത്മാക്കളെ കൂട്ടിക്കൊണ്ടുവരുന്നു; അവരും അവിടെ കയറി പാർക്കുന്നു; ആ മനുഷ്യന്റെ പിന്നത്തെ സ്ഥിതി മുമ്പിലത്തേതിലും വല്ലാതെ ആകും; ഈ ദുഷ്ടതലമുറെക്കും അങ്ങനെ ഭവിക്കും.”My name...

(Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 14:44 mark)The entire humanity is the creation of God.  God loves everyone, and He desires everyone to know Him, love Him, obey His commandments, glorify Him and get salvation.  That is why Jesus said to His disciples, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.   He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned(Mark 16:15,16).  The end will not come until the gospel is preached in the whole world(Matthew 24:14).  God loves Jews and the Christians more for specific reasons.  The Jews are the chosen people of God.  God blessed Abraham and his descendants for his obedience.  God loves Christians as they believe in His only Son Jesus who came down for the redemption of the the entire humanity.  God is still disciplining the Jews and the Christians in many ways for not fulfilling God's expectations. God is not serious in disciplining the people belonging to other religions because they don't know God even though they believe in a God. Their disciplining will start only when they accept Jesus as Savior and get baptized. There are plenty of holy people among them. Once they accept Jesus, their salvation will be quick.My name...

Galatians 6:7-10 -Do good to all peopleGalatians 6:8 – For the one  who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.” ജഡത്തിൽ വിതെക്കുന്നവൻ ജഡത്തിൽനിന്നുനാശം കൊയ്യും; ആത്മാവിൽ വിതെക്കുന്നവൻ ആത്മാവിൽ നിന്നു നിത്യജീവനെ കൊയ്യും. Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 11:7 mark.God has created us all to do good to others and thereby to please God.  We have no reason to boast about ourselves as it is against the will and nature of God.  We should  not be deceived by our own actions.  If we mock God, we will be deceiving ourselves because whatever a man sows, he will reap it also.  If we keep doing good to others, we will reap it later and inherit the eternal kingdom.  If we sow hatred, pride, selfishness, envy, material desires, lust, immorality etc., we will reap the after effects of those worldly passions through generations and by losing the heavenly kingdom.  The consequences of sowing in the flesh and the Spirit are discussed.    My name...

Reading: John 16:25-33- I have overcome the worldJohn 16:33- “These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you have peace.  In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.' നിങ്ങൾക്കു എന്നിൽ സമാധാനം ഉണ്ടാകേണ്ടതിന്നുഇതു നിങ്ങളോടു സംസാരിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; ലോകത്തിൽ നിങ്ങൾക്കു കഷ്ടം ഉണ്ടു; എങ്കിലും ധൈര്യപ്പെടുവിൻ; ഞാൻലോകത്തെ ജയിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 14:40 mark.Before His crucifixion takes place, Jesus encourages His disciples by telling them about the things they may have to face.  When tribulations occur in our lives, peace can be found nowhere or in no one else other than in Jesus because Jesus is the only person who has overcome the world. I have not heard from many people that their life is very easy going and smooth, especially from people who give priority to God in their life.  There are moments when a frustrated person prefers death to living any more, finds hard even to smile in front of others, wants the life to end somehow, wants to isolate from others,  and feels terrible in many ways.  Outwardly everyone seems OK and happy, but in their private life they may be facing mountains of problems.  If we feel that we cannot bear the mental pain any more, understand that God is able to give us courage and strength if we call upon Him.  I have experienced that.  During any kind of hardship, the best and only physician to reach out for strength, comfort and divine healing is Jesus Christ. How Jesus overcame the world and how we can overcome the world are discussed.My name... Cicilysunny@gmail.com

 Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 12:12 mark.St. Matthew 2:16 – “Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged, and sent and slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem  and all its vicinity, from two years older and under, according to the time which he had determined from the magi.”വിദ്വാന്മാർതന്നെ കളിയാക്കി എന്നു ഹെരോദാവു കണ്ടു വളരെ കോപിച്ചു, വിദ്വാന്മാരോടു ചോദിച്ചറിഞ്ഞകാലത്തിന്നു ഒത്തവണ്ണം രണ്ടു വയസ്സും താഴെയുമുള്ള ആൺകുട്ടികളെ ഒക്കെയുംബേത്ത്ളേഹെമിലും അതിന്റെ എല്ലാ അതിരുകളിലും ആളയച്ചു കൊല്ലിച്ചു. Our actions towards others can spread either light or darkness.  Most of the time we are not aware of what we are spreading through our actions.  Spreading light is done by the Spirit of God; spreading darkness is done by the Spirit of darkness or the devil. I would like to go through five incidents in the Bible where the powers of darkness inspired to spread darkness through their actions.  What can we do to keep away from darkness and spread light are discussed.My name...

Luke 2:8-20 – The shepherds and the angels at the birth of JesusPlease note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 17:03 mark.Luke 2:10,11 – “But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” ദൂതൻ അവരോടു: ഭയപ്പെടേണ്ടാ; സർവ്വജനത്തിന്നും ഉണ്ടാവാനുള്ളോരുമഹാസന്തോഷം ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളോടു സുവിശേഷിക്കുന്നു.  കർത്താവായ ക്രിസ്തു എന്ന രക്ഷിതാവു ഇന്നുദാവീദിന്റെ പട്ടണത്തിൽ നിങ്ങൾക്കായി ജനിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.Soon after the birth of Jesus in a manger in Bethlehem, an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before some shepherd boys who were watching over their sheep at night.  The glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terribly frightened.  The angel announced the good news of the birth of Jesus.  Suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God.  In the Bible we notice that there are several occasions when the heaven and earth seem close to each other. When God took the  Israelites out of Egypt, He travelled with them in the Arc of the Covenant and spoke to them through Moses.  God handed the Ten Commandments to Moses from Mount Sinai.  The heavenly beings communicate with the human beings on the earth and give necessary help.  Usually God sends angels to help the humans on the earth or to give them some important messages.  Sometimes God Himself communicates with the humans.  God spoke to all the prophets and assigned them to deliver important messages to the humans.  I know personally several people who have received encounter with Jesus or direct help from angels in times of trouble and prayer.  I myself received a two hours encounter with Jesus in the year of 1995.  God loves us so much that He sends His angels to guard, guide and protect us through various stages of our life.  Several occasions in the Bible when the heaven and earth came closer are discussed. My name...

Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 14:05 mark.Saint Valentine is the patron saint of love.  In the Roman Catholic church there are three saints with the name  Valentine.  All the three saints were stoned and beheaded for their Christian faith during the time of different Roman emperors.  St. Valentine, officially known as Saint Valentine of Rome, is a third-century Roman saint whose memory is celebrated on February 14.  Valentine day has its roots in paganism.  Lupercalia was a pagan fertility festival celebrated in February, and it had ties to a Roman god.  In an effort to clean up the pagan holiday,  in 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius designated February 14th as Valentine's official feast day.  The new holiday quickly spread to all countries that practiced Christianity. Historically it has commemorated romantic love, but recently it has been expanded to include all types of love.  During the time of Emperor Claudius II, marriage was prohibited for soldiers.  As a priest, Valentine conducted the marriages of couples who were in love. For this reason Valentine was sent to jail. Valentine used this time in jail to reach out to people with the love given by Jesus.  The jailer, Asterius, became friendly with Valentine.  He was impressed with Valentine's wisdom that he asked Valentine to help his daughter, Julia, with her lessons when she visited the jail.  Julia was blind, and the jailer tested his faith by asking him to restore her blind daughter's  eye sight.  Placing his hands onto her eyes, Valentine restored Julia's vision.  The jailer accepted Christianity along with 44 members of his family.  The now faithful jailer then freed all of his Christian inmates.  Emperor Claudius sentenced Valentine to death for not giving up his faith.  Before he was killed, Valentine wrote a last note to encourage Julia to stay close to Jesus and to thank her for being his friend.  He signed the note, “From your Valentine.”  Valentine was beaten, stoned and beheaded on February 14, 270.  St. Valentine sacrificed his life for his faith in Jesus, not for his love for us. There is someone who has done much more for each and every one of us than what St. Valentine did. That is Jesus Christ who is the Son of God.           My name... Cicilysunny@gmail.com

 John 3:1-20- Jesus and Nicodemus Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 12:28 mark.John 3:5 – Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.' അതിന്നു യേശു: “ആമേൻ, ആമേൻ, ഞാൻനിന്നോടു പറയുന്നു: വെള്ളത്താലും ആത്മാവിനാലും ജനിച്ചില്ല എങ്കിൽ ദൈവരാജ്യത്തിൽ കടപ്പാൻആർക്കും കഴികയില്ല.Everyone goes through routines, traditions and practices without thinking that any kind of change is needed in life.  The word of God is the only pointer towards us in terms of what kind of changes we need in our lives.  If we are not in touch with the word of God, we are unable to make the right changes in life. Nicodemus was a Pharisee and a ruler of the Jews who believed that Jesus came from God and that everything Jesus did was with the power of God.  But he was afraid to accept Jesus publicly for fear of the Jews.  That is why he came to see Jesus at night.  It is sure that when he came to Jesus, he had not received baptism or become born again. This is the end of the year 2024 and the new year is going to begin in a few days.  This is the time to settle with God for whatever way we have lived our life so far and whatever amendments to be made in our life in order  to start a new life with God in the way He desires about us.  When Jesus told Nicodemus what to do in order to enter the Kingdom of God, He meant Nicodemus to do a self -examination and settle with God for a new start.  In the matters of God we should not be like Nicodemus who visited Jesus at night as he was afraid of the Jews.  The advice Jesus gave to Nicodemus is applicable to all of us.  The different ways of settling with God for a new start is discussed.         My name...

Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 15:20 mark.Matthew 7:21- “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.” എന്നോടു കർത്താവേ, കർത്താവേ, എന്നു പറയുന്നവൻ ഏവനുമല്ല, സ്വർഗ്ഗസ്ഥനായ എന്റെ പിതാവിന്റെ ഇഷ്ടം ചെയ്യുന്നവൻ അത്രേസ്വർഗ്ഗരാജ്യത്തിൽ കടക്കുന്നതു.There are people who call God and pray several times a day.  There are people with different gifts from the Holy Spirit.  You may be a pastor or a preacher or a priest.  None of these factors  guarantee that they will enter heaven.  Only those who do the will of the Father in heaven will enter heaven.  If someone  has the gift to prophesize, but does not do the will of God, he or she will not enter heaven.  Just like a tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire, a person who does not bear fruit or who does not do the will of God will be thrown into hell.  Even if a person has the gift of casting out demons and performing miracles in the name of Jesus, at the Last Judgment he may not enter heaven if he does not do the will of the Father in heaven.  From these verses it is understood that it is very important to know the will ofGod and act upon it in order to enter heaven.  The different wills of God are discussed.My name...

1st Thessalonians 5:16-18- “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.”  Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 12:26 mark.As everyone knows, the last Thursday of November is celebrated as Thanksgiving day in the United States and Canada, and it is a national holiday.  If Jesus, the Son of God, gave thanks to His heavenly Father for everything, how much more thanks we should give to God on a daily basis.  When Jesus thanked His heavenly Father before serving food, the food got multiplied.  Similarly, when we thank God for everything, our blessings will be multiplied.  If we can thank God on a daily basis even in our nothingness, God will be very pleased with us.  When I started thanking God for everything and even in nothingness, God started to bless  me more and more.  Paul and David thanked God for everything and got blessed.  Thanksgiving is a continuous action happening in heaven.  So we should take it as a routine responsibility to thank God for everything whenever possible.   My name...

John 18:37 - When Jesus stood before the governor, Pontius Pilate, Pilate asked him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 17:00 mark.Jesus, the Son of God, is addressed as King of Kings throughout the Bible.  In the calendar of the Catholic  Church, Sunday November 24 , 2024 is marked as the feast of Jesus as the King of the universe.Throughout the Bible, the prophets have prophesied about the kingship of Jesus in Zion, Israel.  The first coming of Jesus was for the redemption of the humanity from their original sin caused by the sin of Adam and Eve.  The second coming  of Jesus will be on the clouds to collect his loved ones from the dead and alive.  The third coming of Jesus will be as a king to rule the earth righteously from Zion.The only prayer Jesus taught is the Lord's prayer starting with ‘Our Father.' It says “They kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”  It will not happen until the reign of Jesus and the heavenly Father on earth.  When the kingdom of God is established on earth, His will is going to happen on earth as it is in heaven.  The seven years rule of the antichrist will happen on earth just before the reign of God.  Several tribulations and persecution of Christians will happen just before the reign of God on earth.  God will collect all His loved ones when He comes on the clouds just before his reign on earth.My name...

John 5:24 –“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me,  has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” John 5:28, 29 – “Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming , in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, and will come forth; those who did  good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.” Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 19:28 mark.The ordinary minds are not aware of the two resurrections.  The Bible is our proper guide in this matter.  It clearly distinguishes between a first and a second resurrection.  Also there is a Last Judgment.  Those who are part of the first resurrection will not have to face the Last Judgment.  The timing of the two resurrections, the rule of God on earth, the destiny of Satan, the judgment of the wicked, the saving plan of God etc.  are discussed.  My name...

Mark 10:52- And Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has made you well.”  Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road. “ Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 17:43 mark. Mark 10:46-52 -When Jesus was leaving Jericho with a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus was sitting by the road.  As soon as he heard that it was Jesus, he began to cry out and say, ‘Son of David, have mercy on me!”  Many were sternly telling him to be quiet, but he kept on calling Jesus for help.  Jesus asked them to call him.  When he got the message from Jesus, he jumped up and came to Jesus.  When Jesus asked him what he wanted him to do for him, the blind man expressed his desire to regain his sight.  Because of his faith, Jesus healed him immediately.  In the Bible there are several examples of Jesus healing people on the spot when they reached out to him with faith.  I had gone through times of brokenness in my life.  Even though I thought of finding a quick solution using my own brain, I reached out to God with a crying heart and attended a retreat in in New York in 1995. God spoke to me for two hours.  My problems stayed almost the same way, but  God filled my heart with His love, joy and grace.  How we can increase our faith by becoming a mature Christian, by distinguishing good from evil, by honoring our body as the temple of God and by developing a zeal for God is discussed. My name...

Deuteronomy 18:9 – “When you enter the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the detestable things of those nations.” Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 11:03 mark.Leviticus 18:3, 4 – “You shall not do what is done in the land of Egypt where you lived, nor are you to do what is done in the land of Canaan where I am bringing you; you shall not walk in their statutes.  You are to perform My judgments and keep my statutes,  to live in accord with them; I am the Lord your God.” Halloween is one of the world's biggest holidays, especially in the United States.  The Halloween ritual has a pagan origin.  It dates back more than 2,000 years to Ireland.  An ancient Celtic fire festival called Samhain  was celebrated usually from 31st October to 1st November at the end of summer.  It was focused on fire as winter approached and to bring light into the darkness.  People knew that there would be lots of deaths of animals and humans during the harsh winter months.  It was the time of the Celtic new year, a time of death and rebirth. Costumes and ugly masks were worn to scare away malevolent spirits believed to have been set free from the realm of the dead.  Celtic pagans lit one giant bonfire in the village, danced around and acted out stories of death, regeneration and survival.  Animals and crops were burned as sacrifices to Celtic deities. How the Catholic church influenced the Anglo-Saxons of Britain in the 6th and 13th centuries and how the All Saints Day and All Souls Day started in the Catholic church soon after Halloween are discussed.My name...

Hebrews 12:1-13 explains the discipline given by God.Hebrews 12:10 – “For they(earthly fathers) disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He(God) disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness.” Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 19:37 mark.Every aspect of our life needs discipline to function well personally and socially.  This is true at home, in school, in the public, at church, at social gatherings etc.  Parents discipline children at home. Teachers discipline children in school.  The intention of disciplining children is to convince them of the consequences of their actions, the way they should behave, the punctuality they need in life, the responsibility they should take in different situations etc.  The intention of the parents is to make the child a better person.  Parents discipline children because they love them. God disciplines His children in different ways too out of His love for us. Parents discipline children for a short time only, but God disciplines us throughout our lives as we are expected to live with Him in eternity.  Who  God's children are, why God disciplines us, how God disciplines us,  the outcomes of God's discipline, how and why God disciplined Joseph, Job, David, and Paul are discussed.  My name...

Ezekiel 18:20 –“The person who sins will die.  The son will not bear the punishment for the father's iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son's iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself; and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.” Exodus 20:5,6 & Deuteronomy 5: 9,10 – God says about idol worship: You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, visiting the iniquity of the father on the children, on the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing loving kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 14:36 mark.These verses seem like contradictory, but when we go deep into it and try to understand it, the meaning will be clear.  People have the tendency to blame every problem on some sort of generational curse.  This is not biblical. According to the Old Testament Law, God visited iniquities on future generations for the specific sin of idolatry. When Israel turned from idols to serve the Living God, the curse was broken and God blessed  them.  When a person sins against God, God will double check on three to four generations to make sure if anyone repeats that sin.  If that sin is repeated, they will be punished.  The four generations will not be aware of the sins of the forefathers.  That is why every person should repent about own sins, pray for forgiving the ancestors, follow the commandments of God and lead a clean life always. Personal stories of punishment on children for parents' iniquities as well as for their own iniquities against parents, due to lack of repentance are shared.My name... Cicilysunny@gmail.com

Proverbs 21:3 – “To do righteousness and justice is desired by the Lord more than sacrifice.” Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 15:32 mark.This verse shares an important message. God cares more about our actions than our gifts to Him.  Every religion has its own rituals, ceremonies and practices.  People have the habit of assuming that God will be automatically pleased with their religious practices and bless them.  But the word of God emphasizes that God desires righteousness and justice more than sacrifice and rituals. This is proved by the lives of several people in the Scriptures. The Ten Commandments (Exodus chapter 20) is the foundation of God's Law.  It emphasizes the importance of honoring God and respecting others.  There are a number of Bible verses that help us how to act in daily life and how to make the right decisions to please God.  When we pray after practicing righteousness and justice in every aspect of our life on a daily basis, God will be very pleased with us, and His blessing will pour into us and our generations.    My name...

2nd Thessalonians 2:8-10 –“Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will kill with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; that is, the one whose coming is  in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.” Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 14:28 mark.These verses explain that the antichrist is coming as a result of the activity of Satan. He will show signs and false wonders which will deceive those who do not believe in the truth about Jesus.  He will come to an end only at the appearance of Jesus.  It is clear that his seven years of rule will be before the second coming of Jesus.The antichrist spirit has been in this world for the past 2000 years, and it is mentioned in the Bible in a few places.  Every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ is from God is the spirit of antichrist. The coming of the antichrist and the false prophet, his three and a half years of pleasing rule, his next three and a half years of horrible rule, the abolishing of regular sacrifice, the false wonders that deceive people, the forceful worship of the statue of the antichrist or the beast, the forceful implanting of the microchip on finger or forehead for buying and selling, the great tribulations, the coming of Jesus Christ on the clouds, the punishment for the false prophet, antichrist, the devil and those who receive the mark of the beast, the restoration of regular sacrifice, the glorious reign of God on earth etc. are discussed.My name...

Luke 8:38, 39 – “But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him he might accompany Him, but He sent him away, saying, “Return to your house and describe what great things God has done for you.”  So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.”  Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 15:33 mark.The man possessed by demons gave his testimony to the whole city after being healed by Jesus. God wishes for everyone to lead a good and comfortable life. A person who is supposed to live happily with the family is pushed away to unfortunate situations by the devil.  It should be our priority to reach out to God in times of difficulties rather than staying frustrated and losing hope. Also, once we are blessed by God, we should take the initiative to give our testimony to others in order to give glory to God and to encourage others to reach out to God.  Also, it helps others to increase their faith and come closer to God.  It is one way of preaching the gospel to others.    The holy Bible is full of the testimony of different people about God.  Eight testimonies from the Bible are discussed.  If we don't give our testimony of our experience or encounter with God, others will not know about it or glorify God.  God is behind all our success and achievements. Remember to acknowledge God in front of others so that more people glorify God.  When we glorify God, our blessing will multiply in this generation and the coming generations.My name...

Revelation 22:11, 12 – “Let the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy.  Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done.”  .”  Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 17:28 mark. These are the words of God from the last chapter in the Bible.  When you read these verses, you can sense how much freedom God has given to every human being in this world.  God has given in the entire Bible everything a human being has to know and follow.  Sometimes people have the tendency to justify their wickedness saying that there are so many other people who are wicked and going fine with their lives.  If the wicked are living fine with no problem, it is because of the mercy of God.  After doing and saying everything for us as said in the Bible, God has no more responsibility to force anyone to come to the path of God.  God desires about  everyone to enjoy the eternal life with Him in heaven.  When we go astray and fall in hell, it is very painful to God to see us perishing  and suffering in hell.     God is losing His hope on this generation and almost giving up on them.   Still God has hope about a small remnant of the people.   The righteous and the holy people should keep on being righteous and holy as God is coming soon with His reward.  The wrath of God against mankind, its solution,  the signs of the times, the coming apostasy, the coming of the antichrist, the tribulations, the rapture of Jesus, God's righteous rule on earth, the pouring of the Holy Spirit  etc. are discussed. My name...

Isaiah 22:22 –“Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder, when he opens no one will shut, when he shuts no one will open.”  Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 14:15 mark  mark.The key of the house of David represents God's governance, specifically His governance over Israel. The Bible even names the royal throne, the throne on which David and Solomon sat, as “the throne of the Lord” (1st Chronicles 29:23 & 2nd Chronicles 9:8).  God gives authority to whoever  He pleases. It refers to the authority of David's descendants to the throne of Israel.  Next, it refers to the authority of Jesus over the house of David.  Jesus is a descendant of David too.  Jesus Christ is the ultimate recipient of the Key of David's house.   The righteous kingship of Jesus in Zion will take place for 1000 years. The only person in authority in the whole world will be Jesus. Whoever is dear to Jesus also gets the key of the house of David.  By getting the key of the house of David, we partake in the supreme authority of Jesus to govern in his earthly kingdom and heavenly kingdom.  Also, it refers to the authority of Jesus over God's kingdom.  The benefits of getting the key of the House of David and how we can get the key of the House of David are discussed.  My name...

Proverbs 26:27 – He who digs a pit falls into it; and a stone comes back upon him who rolls it.”    Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 15:07  mark.These are the words of wisdom from Solomon.  If anyone tries to trap a righteous person, God will not allow that to happen.  Instead, he himself will fall into that trap.  This is the experience of several of us.  This is the experience of several people in the Bible too.  David who faced the enmity of several people and who fought several battles felt the same way too.Psalm 7:15, 16 – David said, “He has dug a pit and hallowed it out, and has fallen into the hole which he has made.  His mischief will return upon his own head, and his violence will descend upon his own pate.” Two incidents from the Bible are discussed. It is the nature of sinners to tempt, seduce and entrap the righteous and naïve.  The wicked are content once they see others go through the sorrow and guilt they bear themselves.  The wicked people should know that the trap they lay for other people will be their destiny.  If someone digs a pit for a good person, it will turn out to be his own grave.  To the upright man who loves the Lord, denies the flesh and obeys God's Law, God promises blessing and eternal inheritance.     My name...

 Numbers 20:12 – “But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you have not believed me, to treat me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 15:35 mark.Throughout the Bible we see incidents of disobedience and arrogance from people, which had provoked God and He punished them.  Seven incidents of such punishment are discussed.When the Israelites were in the desert, once there was no water for the congregation,  they assembled themselves against Moses and Aaron.  Then Moses and Aaron came in from the presence of the assembly to the doorway of the tent of meeting and fell on their faces.  Then the glory of the Lord appeared to them.  God asked Moses  to hold the rod and  command the rock to bring forth water.  God intended to do this for His glory. Instead of commanding the rod, Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod.  Water came forth abundantly, and the congregation and the beasts drank.  God, who helped and accompanied Moses and Aaron from the very beginning, determined not to let them enter Canaan as a punishment.  Instead, Joshua led them to Canaan.  May this message be a turning point in the life of everyone to repent, ask forgiveness for sins, and obey the teachings of God in order to escape His punishment and inherit the kingdom of God.     My name...

 1st Corinthians 2:15 – “The spiritual person, however, can judge everything but is not subject to judgment by anyone .”   Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 16:46 mark.According to 1st Corinthians chapters 2 and 3, there are four kinds of people. 1)The natural man - A natural man does not have the mind of Christ.  The natural man perceives the things of God to be foolishness and refuses to have the thinking of Christ.2) The fleshly person-  A fleshly person has jealousy, strife and arrogance.  3) The infants in Christ - They have just come to know Christ and are only now beginning to learn about the things of God. Sometimes they will look like a fleshly person as they cannot think or judge with the mind of Christ.4 ) The spiritual man – As the things of God are spiritually perceived, they are able to discern or evaluate properly the things of God.  A spiritual man has the mind of Christ. What makes a person spiritual, how should a spiritual person behave, and what are the rewards of a spiritual person are discussed.  A personal evaluation of the current Christians is made.My name...

2nd Chronicles 7:13, 14 – “If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I  send pestilence among My people, and My  people  who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”   Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2ndpart is in Malayalam starting at 16:26 mark. This is God's answer to King Solomon's prayer after dedicating the temple of Jerusalem.  This is God's covenant with Solomon.  There are several powerful prayers in the Old Testament and the New Testament for which God gave immediate answers.  This message discusses the prayers of Hannah, King Hezekiah, Elijah, Elisha, Ezra, Nehemiah, Daniel, Jonah, the king and the people of Ninevah, Peter, Paul and Silas.    How to pray and what kind of prayers are heard are discussed. My name...

2nd Chronicles 7:13, 14 – “If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I  send pestilence among My people, and My  people  who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”   Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 17:45 mark.This is God's answer to King Solomon's prayer after building the temple of Jerusalem.  This is God's covenant with Solomon.  In the presence of all the assembly of Israel Solomon spread out his hands towards heaven.  Solomon praised God for all the good things He had done to his father, David.  He asked forgiveness for all the sins of his people. Then he begged God to hear his prayers and the prayers of everyone who prays with a repentant heart.  With the entire assembly of the people he offered to God burnt offerings, peace offerings and grain offerings for seven days and seven nights.2nd Chronicles 7:1,2 – “Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the house.  The priests could not enter into the house of the Lord because the glory of the Lord filled the Lord's house.” Then the Lord appeared to Solomon at night and said to him, “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.”The prayers of David, Jacob, Moses and Samson are also discussed.  How to pray and what kind of prayers are heard are discussed.My name...

Joshua 14:13,14 – “So Joshua blessed him and gave Hebron to Caleb  the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.  Therefore, Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite until this day, because he  followed the Lord God of Israel fully.”  Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 11:5 mark.Joshua chapter 14 -Joshua  was in the process of dividing the property in Canaan to the sons of Jacob. When it came to the land of Hebron, Joshua was not sure whom to give the land. Then Caleb, who was 85 years old, reminded Joshua about what happened 45 years ago during the time of Moses according to the book of Numbers chapter 13. According to the word of the Lord to Moses, Moses sent 12 heads of the tribes, that is, one head from each tribe, to spy out the land of Canaan.  Caleb was the head of the tribe of Judah.  Caleb did the 40 days' spy work successfully because he followed God fully.  Caleb gave an honest and sincere report of Canaan to Moses.  But those who went with Caleb were scared to go back to Canaan, and so they gave a very bad report saying that the people there were of huge size and that the land was not good for living. What happens when we are not honest with God and what are the benefits of being honest with God are discussed.    My name... Cicily at cicilysunny@gmail.com

Mark 6:42, 43 – “They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up twelve baskets of the broken pieces, and also of the fish.”  Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 17:53 mark.This verse is said about what happened at the end of a miracle Jesus did.    When Jesus saw a large crowd, He felt compassion for them, and He began to teach them many things. When it was quite late,  His disciples asked Him to send them away so that they could go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy some food.  Jesus asked the disciples to give them something to eat.  The men themselves were five thousand people.  Including the women and children, it could be at least triple the amount of people.  Jesus asked them how many loaves of bread they had with them.  They looked around and found that they had only five loaves of bread and two fish with them. Jesus blessed the food they had, and the disciples served it to all of them.  Twelve baskets of food were left over.  It is time for all of us to think about ourselves and see what are the good qualities or characteristics or actions in us which God loves to bless so that it can be multiplied for the benefit of ourselves  and others.  If we really have something good in us, God will bless it , and your blessings for the future will be multiplied.  If not, your life will stay stagnant or even deteriorate. Why our blessings sometimes stop is discussed.  The earlier we repent, the earlier we will start getting blessing from God.  Our blessing will be multiplied like the five bread and the two fish with which Jesus fed thousands of people.My name...

Episode 40  – “He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.” Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 17:46  mark.God is very near to each one of us, but we cannot see Him with our physical eyes.  Our first parents, Adam and Eve, had seen God and even lived with Him in the garden of Eden, not far from the Euphrates-Tigris rivers.  Because they sinned against God, they had to leave the garden of Eden.  According to Genesis chapter 11, people in the whole earth spoke the same language.  They settled in the land of Shinar.  Instead of being scattered all over the earth, the people in those days wanted to make  a city and build a tower called the tower of Babel that almost reached the sky.  God saw this and understood their capability to do anything.  So He confused their language. They have been scattered all over the earth with different times, languages and boundaries. This has made their life hard, but God has been modernizing every aspect of our life in the right time using technology and giving facilities as He is a merciful God. We give credit to science but forget to give glory to God who created science. God is very visible in His works.  God is near to all who call Him. God just wants everyone to seek or even grope for Him. God has given us dominion over the entire earth.  There are so many questions in front of us to answer.  Do we have the true knowledge of the true God?  Do we try to know Him?  Do we have space in our heart for Him?  Do we have space in our home for Him?  Do we preach the gospel to anyone?  Do we still dominate the earth or have the earth and its other living beings dominate us?My name...

Luke 7:47 – “For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little.” Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 10:26 mark.The more we love God and others, the more our sins will be forgiven.  When we love God and others less, our sins will be forgiven less too. Luke 7:36-40- One of the Pharisees named Simon invited Jesus to dine with him. While Jesus was sitting down, a woman in the city who was a sinner, who is assumed to be Mary Magdalene, brought a container of costly perfume. She started weeping and began to wet his feet with her tears.  Then she started wiping his feet with her hair.  Next, she kissed the feet of Jesus and anointed with the perfume.  Simon started wondering why Jesus allowed the sinful woman to touch His feet.  Immediately Jesus understood the thoughts of Simon and said the parable of the creditor or money lender.  What Jesus meant is that the woman loved Jesus a lot and did many things for Him.  Because of her love, her sins will be forgiven a lot. But the Pharisee named Simon did not express much love to Jesus, and so his sins will not be forgiven much. The ways we reveal our love to Jesus and others, why we cannot love Jesus and others, and the rewards of loving Jesus and others are discussed.My name... Cicily at cicilysunny@gmail.com

 1st Peter 2:19, 20 – “For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly. For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience?  But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.” Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 15:50 mark.There is no credit in front of God when we suffer as a sinner and go through harsh treatment from others. But if we are suffering patiently because of the injustice done by others, God will be in favor of us.  If we do not suffer patiently, we will not get the favor of God.  Some people commit suicide when they cannot take it anymore.  Some people argue, fight, cut the relationship, and try to destroy the other person.  Some people will go for court proceedings. Some people will cry and complain to others forever.  A true child of God will suffer patiently and win the favor of God.  The promises of God for our sufferings as a righteous person and some situations in the Bible where God strengthened people in their sorrows are discussed. My name...

John 13:26,27 – “So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.  After the morsel, Satan then entered into him.”  Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 15:39 mark.This verse is about the last supper of Jesus with His disciples and the way Satan entered into Judas.  In the Bible we can notice different kinds of influences by Satan. The influence of Satan started with the temptation of Adam and Eve in Genesis chapter 3.  Jesus healed many who were possessed by demons.  According to Mark chapter 3, the demons cast out from one person entered into 2000 pigs.  The influence of Satan is out there always with the intention of blocking our redemption.   A demon wants a body to live in just like the demons from one person asked the permission of Jesus to enter into 2000 pigs.  A person may not be possessed by the demons all the time, but the influence of Satan is always out there with the intention of fooling us, trapping us, and destroying us. Ten situations that can bring the influence of Satan, some expressions of  the influence of Satan in our daily life, the nature of Satan, and how we can resist the devil are discussed.      My name...

Matthew 15:14 – Jesus said about the Pharisees and the scribes, “Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind.  And if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into pit.” Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 15:39 mark.Some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and questioned Him about His disciples for not washing hands before eating.  Traditions and practices were strictly followed by the Pharisees and the scribes.  But Jesus gave more importance to the will of God,  the word of God, and the things to be done in order to enter the kingdom of God.Matthew 15:11 – Jesus said to the crowd, “It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”  There are some blind guides in our lives too. What are those blind guides, what causes blindness,  and how we can get out of those blind guides are discussed. God is more important than denominations, controversies and disputes.  God knows the level of our wisdom and knowledge, and He will judge only accordingly.  Trust in the word of God and feel comfortable in His mercy and love.  My name...

God promised them His love and care.  God has protected the Israelites in many ways except when they worshipped idols and sinned.  This promise of God applies to all His loved ones, irrespective of religion and race.  Ten incidents from the Bible in terms of God's protection are included. God will protect those who love Him and follow his commands. Using His angels, God offers His pure selfless love to those who are on the path of salvation by accepting Jesus as the savior. Sometimes God allows trials in our life to purify us, to test our faith and to strengthen us in our faith.  In the New Testament Jesus has promised more spiritual protection against the enemies of our soul than physical protection.  This spiritual protection is based on the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in us.  If the Holy Spirit dwells in us, we are spiritually safe.  We just have to draw near to God and trust in His protection.  Even if we are physically hurt, we will be spiritually protected.  As long as we reach our heavenly home, we can put away other worries.     My name...

God's glory can be profaned in the world due to our sins and bad deeds. Our sins and bad deeds can enable people of less faith or no faith to deviate from the path of God. Through their idol worship, the Israelites profaned God's name. God punished them by scattering them all around the world. The whole world looked down on the Israelites, and it profaned God's name.  God got disgraced with this, and He decided to restore them so that His glory would not be profaned among the nations. My name...

 Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 10:43 mark.Jeremiah 9:23, 24-Thus says the Lord, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises loving kindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the Lord. It is not acceptable  to God if anyone boasts about himself or herself.  Whoever boasts should boast only in God.  We should not boast about ourselves. Others should boast about us.  We are created for good works.  We are God's workmanship.God likes someone boasting that you know about God.  God delights in  a person boasting about the knowledge of God, His loving kindness, justice and righteousness on earth.  This warns how careful we should be in every word we utter in our day to day life. Why we should not boast about ourselves is discussed.     My name... Cicily at cicilysunny@gmail.com

Matthew 16:24 – “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.” Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 15:07 mark. It is not easy to undergo sufferings in many ways and go smoothly and quietly with our life.  You may be facing sufferings physically or mentally or financially.  It is a natural tendency to worry, cry, complain, give up, break up relationship,  take revenge, or burst out in the middle of these sufferings. It will not give a perfect solution to your sufferings. But if you become willing to follow and imitate Jesus, He will give you the strength to carry your cross with inner peace and happiness.  No one else in the world has offered such a promise. I am advocating it strongly from my own experience.My name... Cicily at cicilysunny@gmail.com

Matthew 10:37 –Jesus said,  “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.” Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 13:42 mark.It is natural that you would  like to talk about a person whom you love a lot. Similarly you would want to spend time with that person too.  The person I love the most, want to talk about, and want to spend time with is God or His only son, Jesus.   This does not mean that I do not love my parents, siblings, husband, and children.  My love towards God is a special kind of love.  I share with Jesus all my feelings, which I do not share with others.  I love God more than anything.  So, as per Jesus said above, I believe that I am worthy of Jesus.  I may not be worthy based on all the conditions Jesus said.  Now the question is- Whom do you love the most? Are you worthy of Jesus according to this verse? Five ways to know if we love Jesus and twelve rewards for loving Jesus are discussed.My name... Cicily at cicilysunny@gmail.com

 Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 16:30 mark.2nd Chronicles 12:5- Shemaiah the prophet said, “Thus says the Lord, ‘You have forsaken Me, so I also have forsaken you to Shishak.”This message is based mainly on the book of 2nd Chronicles chapters 12 to 16.  The success of Joshua, Joseph and David also are mentioned.  Our God is a very loving God like any loving father.  A loving father gives his children everything he can.  If the children go estray and do not follow his path, he will slowly stop giving everything freely.  A foolish son will rebel against the father without understanding the purpose of the father.  When this happens, a loving father will cry in secret lamenting the pathetic situation of the son.  At the same time, he will pray for the son to follow God's path so that he can lavishly give the son everything he wants.  This is what happens in the parable of the lost son.  If a human being is this much loving, our heavenly Father is how much more loving!  If we look at the success level of the kings of Israel and Judah, it is very clear that when they followed the commandments of God fully, they became very successful in everything even when the chance of success was very limited.  When they deviated from God's path and did things according to their thoughts, they faced failures one after another.  Usually what happened was when they became successful too many times, they took too much pride in themselves and forgot about God.  We often forget that the hands of God are there behind the success of every person.       My name...

 Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 16:22 mark.Matthew 19:9 – Jesus said, “And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”Marriage was sanctioned by God soon after the creation of Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, and the first couple created in God's image. Globally we are living in an era of divorces more than any time in the history of the world.  In my knowledge, no religion supports divorce for casual reasons.  As per Jesus said, no one is supposed to go for divorce except for adultery, irrespective of religion or denomination.  It is good to think why more divorces take place now, and what solutions are out there to prevent it.   My name...

 Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 12:47 mark.Sirach 3:30 – “Water quenches a flaming fire, and alms atone for sins.”. It may be a new knowledge for many that if we help the poor, God will forgive our sins just like spraying water can stop the spreading of a fire.  When we spray water on a fire, our intention is to quench the fire.  We might not have been doing charity with the intention of atoning for our sins.  God might be forgiving anyway if we do charity.  From now on, when we help the poor, we can ask God to forgive our sins too.  The word of God gives hope towards that.  Seven other benefits of giving alms, six ways of giving alms, and the negative effects of greed are discussed. My name...
