What We Heard - Guardian Angel

My older sister Tara and I were both diagnosed with hearing loss when we were children. Surgery helped me get some of my hearing back, but Tara lost all of hers. I became my sister's ears. I learned sign language and everywhere we went I was her interpreter.

During the summer after my freshman year in high school, Tara and I attended our church's youth camp. We had to rough it: A four-mile hike in the middle of the night was one of the activities. It was a challenge to relay the guide's instructions to Tara by sign in the darkness. But it was all worth it, because we both looked forward to the popular inspirational speaker who was going to address us at the end of the week.

At sunset on our last day, hundreds of us campers rushed toward the arena, jockeying for good seats. Tara and I ended up in the last row, where the sound from the PA system kept fading. I could barely hear the speaker. I glanced at Tara. Tears started to well in my eyes. My sister will never know what this inspiring man has to say.

I bowed my head. God, we need you, I prayed. I was at the edge of my seat trying to catch even one word. Then suddenly, incredibly, I could hear the speaker's voice loud and clear. I tapped Tara on the shoulder and began to sign furiously. But she stilled my hands and looked at me in amazement.

"Shh, Carly," she whispered. "I can hear him, too."

“Majesty, Worship his majesty”
Lyrics:-

Majesty, worship His majesty
Unto Jesus be glory honour and praise
Majesty, Kingdom, Authority
Flows from His throne
Unto His own
His anthem raise

So exalt, lift upon high
The name of Jesus
Magnify come glorify
Christ, Jesus the King

Majesty, worship his Majesty
Jesus who died, now glorified
King of all Kings.
Jesus who died, now glorified
King of all Kings.

Praise the Lord

Lord You are simply wonderful, marvellous, awesome.

" Hear those who have ears. " Jesus.

by Sebastian D'Souza on 17th Aug, 2009

Dear Readers,
Christian greetings.Jesus spoke in parables to the people whom He preached.And at the end He said. " Let them hear who have ear. " Why did He say this as if they had no ears? Yes they had ears but still, though they were hearing they could not get the meaning of the parable.
Even today when people read bible they don't understand its language or meaning though they can read the contents.Unless Father God opens their ears they cannot understand whatever is preached.God opens the eyes and ears of those people who are chosen by him.For God's word says. " You did not choose me,but I have chosen you and appointed you that you should bear fruit and that your fruit should remain,and whatever you ask the Father in my name He will give you. " (John 15:16) When God chooses,people can hear the message.And they are the people who respond to God's word.For others it is foolishness.Bible rightly says. " For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. " ( I Corinthians 1:18 )
If you want that God should choose you,then you do one thing,go in your room and when you are alone say this prayer so that God may hear your prayer and choose you. " Lord Jesus I believe that I am a sinner.I also believe that you died for my sins.Lord Jesus,please forgive my sins and cleanse my heart with your precious blood.Lord Jesus thank you for forgiving my sins and also I thank you for cleansing my heart.Come in my heart.I want to commit my life to you.I promise to read your word everday and also promise that I will obey your teaching.Lord Jesus give me the gift of the Holy Spirit.Lord Jesus thank you for giving me your Spirit.Heavenly Father I praise and worship you in the mighty name of Jesus.Amen. "
Since you have prayed and committed your life to Jesus,now you read New Testament and see the difference.Within few days you will start grasping everythin you read.Start from John's gospel.Read one or two chapters every day morning and then meditate on that for some time and give thanks to God and start your day.And see the difference.Hallelujah.God will definately honor you and fill your heart with His peace and joy.Do not forget to read his word as promised.God will bless your work and also your family.Bye.
