A DEEP RELATIONSHIIP WITH JESUS

 "Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God" (John 11:40)

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT? REALLY? I ask that question because if you do, even times are hard, you know God is in control. This takes faith! Oh! You say that you have faith, yet, when hard times come, and they will, do you venture out in faith, or rely on your common sense? Here is a problem with common sense: it contradicts your faith! You see: one stands for the natural and the other for the spiritual. There are times when your common sense will not make sense making you to not trust Jesus. You try to figure out things by your common sense and this may work in the natural but not in the spiritual. Has going to Church become routine and boring? Or, have you just accepted that you are saved and become a "mothball" Christian, in the closet relying on your belief that God will handle everything so you are not really needed in His service. Relying on service to God can and often does take the place of having a relationship with Him: "I am working for Jesus so I am worthy of His grace and love." Yes you are worthy of His grace and love yet that worthiness does not come from your service, rather from your repentance and your relationship with Jesus. A deep relationship is something different because it is a spiritual relationship solely yours, not another, yours. Faith must be tested if it is faith! Untested faith is not faith! It is an oxymoron statement to say you have faith and not allow that faith to be tested as this is not faith, it is you hiding, or relying on your common sense. "God did not really say that......?" Did He? Oh, I am not the one there are others better suited for the job. Common sense is reigning over the fact that God chooses who He desires to do whatever He wants done. Common sense will talk you out of following God's will for your life. You become so busy trying to figure out by means of common sense that which is spiritual that you do not hear the Holy Spirit. Think on this: Jesus chose young fishermen to join Him in His missionary journey. Other than Matthew, a tax collector the ones chosen did not seem to have a high education, they were common everyday fishermen. Jesus did not choose a Pharisee who was knowledgeable in the word of God. No, He chose common everyday men and you too may seem common and unworthy but God knows your heart, had given to you talent(s) and chooses you to be the means to bring the Gospel to others, to aid others, even if this means hard trials or persecution. You cannot do this unless you have a person connection with Jesus, a deep relationship with Him and this is not giving to you just because you accepted Him as Savior, no, you develop that relationship as a spouse over time grows deeper with the other spouse. Together you are a force! Building confidence comes when you overcome a trial, and you see that was due to the Holy Spirit leading you. Believe steadfastly on Jesus, stand fast in the test of your faith. Faith is an unuterable trust in God.

God’s love in action…A Chicken of Hope

"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done unto one of the least,, ye have done it to Me"   (Matthew 25:40)

Ritu, Sangita, and Roshan Sunar were very young and obedient children. Unfortunately, their father had an adulterous affair with another woman, so their parents got divorced and abandoned them. Ritu, the eldest child who was only in the fifth grade, had to take care of them. Like many children in Asia, she could not raise her voice against this injustice, unlike her counterparts in the United States and Europe. Their aunt was notified of their crisis, but their aunt could not handle it because she was pregnant, so their aunt shared their crisis during a prayer request at the local church fellowship.   

Knowing that CRM provides support for orphans and abandoned children, the local church’s elder, Bir Bahadur Tamang, informed the CRM office in Gorkha about their situation. Their case was immediately transferred to the CRM office in Kathmandu where the children were approved for aid. The children began receiving bags of rice, vegetables, cooking oil, and chickens.  

 These children are now blessed with the food, poultry, and other forms of aid given by CRM. They can go to school regularly and are very active in church activities. “Though our parents abandoned us, we still feel like we have parents under the grace of God through CRM. Thank you so much,” says Ritu.

 Thank YOU, our friends, for making a great difference. We praise God for you. God bless you for partnering with us! Because of supporters like you we were able to provide life time support for these precious children.  Please pray for these little ones.   The children that we are investing are invaluable for the future.  Great Commandments said “Made Disciple” without providing for their physical need how may we disciple them?  Pray with me!  May you encourage others to join our national moment of helping poorest of the poor children!

 P.S.  We would appreciate your donation as well as forwarding this information to your friends and family to encourage them to join YOU in saving lives.

Yours for the un-reached in Nepal,

Gyan Pantha, Children Rescue Mission
