Is It Really Permissible For Christians To Borrow?

Can Christians Borrow To Buy A House And A Car?

Question : Thanks for all the insights you have given me in the past concerning different issues. Yet I have more questions. My wife and I thought we heard God clearly tell us never to borrow again, and since that time we have not borrowed except for one emergency that proved unnecessary. Yet we have new emergencies...tied to opportunities. If we don't pay this money we may end up owing more than we already owe. But we don't have the money, neither do we have anybody that have the money. Deadline for payment is in three days time and no source in sight. I can't hear God on this...should go to a bank or should I wait? Are there special occasions when Christians are allowed to borrow? For instance we also want to build a house, saving for it may take us five to ten years and the uncertainties involved. For instance we also have other projects equally important for a family like buying a car and we can't do both the same time. Borrowing from the bank to build will take us three years to pay back and we'll have our house and if possible a car the same time. So...is it really permissible? Thanks.

Answer : Greetings in Jesus wonderful name! Praise the Lord and Glory to God!

When it comes to borrowing, the first thing that should come to mind is the verse that many use to discourage getting in to debt, it is "Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law." (Rom 13:8). We have to see whether this above verse says that no one should owe anything to anybody or does it say that we should love others consistently as long as we live because we cannot repay the debt of love we owe towards God and others even for a lifetime of loving God and others in this life, or it says about both because both are true? At the first glance if seems that both the above question is true. To say the truth, it is a hyperbole that is used to exaggerate the first sentence to highlight greatly the next part of the sentence in relation to the first. It does not mean that the first sentence is exactly true, but rather it does mean that there is some truth in the first one that is exaggerated in a great way to highlight the second one. In a much better way we can express the above verse as, "Pay all your debts except the debt of love for others--never finish paying that! For if you love them, you will be obeying all of God's laws, fulfilling all his requirements." (Rom 13:8, Living Bible). So we can safely come to the conclusion that when the Bible says "Owe no one anything except to love one another", it does mean, we should not stop paying back our debt in time to every one we have borrowed except for loving God and one another which we need to pay back to them as long as our earthly life exists. In other words if we take the literal sentence and ask ourselves this question, Is it possible to be debt-free financially, and still not obey the command to love? Yes indeed. That is why it assumes that every man has some debt to pay back, and the greatest thing to pay back for a Christian without fail is to love God and others without fail which automatically fulfills all the laws of God.

So does the Bible indicate that borrowing money is a sin? No, not at all. But the Bible always also do not encourage borrowing money because financial debt is a form of slavery (Prov 22:7; Deut 28:43-44), one should only borrow if they have the ability to pay back through a plan what they owe to others on time without fail (Psalm 37:21). In other words, There is no sin in borrowing the money as long as you are able to pay the interest and premiums according to that schedule you have agreed to your lender.

Jesus treated banks as a normal part of life and assumed the personal right to borrow money (Matt 25:27; Matt 5:42; Luke 6:35). Jesus also gave examples of lending talents or money to people, and then expected them to work with it to produce more money or talent and return to Him what he had already given to them. In those examples, Jesus commended the people who borrowed money from him and multiplied it diligently to pay him back along with a interest. But one person who gave him the exact amount He gave him and also charged Him as a hard task master to have asked him to pay back, was told that it would have been better for him if he had deposited that one talent of money in the bank to atleast gain the interest for it. So this man was judged and condemned at the end for selfishly trying to use the money given to him which was taken for granted by this evil minded unprofitable man to think that it was his own to bury it under the earth in a secret place (Matt 25:14-30). So all the banks in the world run in this basis only, they get money to help people deposit their money for a low interest and then they try to lend the same money to risk takers in buisness with more talent to roll their money and make more profit and repay their money with a higher interest which will make the bankers to grow.

I always would suggest that when a Christian want to go for a loan, it is better to ask God and seek Him to confirm to us specifically whether to go ahead or avoid it altogether because our God is a living God who speaks from heaven (Matt 22:32).

When God says to you individually and collectively as a family not to borrow again, it does mean the specific word of God applies to you for your own good in your particular situation. If you know that you have heard from God and by conviction of the Holy Spirit are covinced deeply about it, I would rather suggest you to better obey that voice of God from heaven that is directed towards you within your heart (Heb 12:25), as only God knows your future even from the times past and also in the present, there will be a specific reason God might be saying like that to you (Isa 46:10, 11). I also feel that you are right about it, as you have since that time have not borrowed except for one emergency that proved unnecessary.

Because you say that you have new emergencies...tied to opportunities, it does mean you might be tempted in this area (1 Cor 10:9, 11, 13), but when you know that God has told you not to borrow money specifically, do avoid completely to give in to debt because only God can understand your weakness and also your bright future when you are in obedience to His voice even before you step in to it.

As you yourself have said that if you do not pay on time, you will end up owing more money than before, and also along with that you don't have the money, neither do you have anybody that have the money, it does mean that a danger bell is ringing that you should not put yourself and your family at the risk of payment deadline when you know that there is no source in sight to pay that debt back. It is foolish to take such a risk that you cannot manage and lose all the money that you have altogether for nothing but for wasted time, worries and unnecessary health risk and spiritual hara-kiri.

When God has already spoken to you clearly by the conviction and voice of the Holy Spirit from heaven (1 Thess 1:5; John 16:13; 1 John 3:24; 4:13), if you still go on expecting an answer other than what he has already told, you are in to the deception of the presumptuously permissible will of God (Num 22:12, 20). So turn back and try to keep the first command that he has give to you and your family, that is not to borrow any more money, whether there are opportunities available for growth by borrowing or not doesn't matter at all. When you know that God has already spoken to you against it, obeying the voice of God is better than many sacrifice you do to please God (1 Sam 15:22).

Now I am coming to your question, are there special occasions when Christians are allowed to borrow?

Yes..but these principles are never exclusive to veto the voice of God which speaks specifically for each person within their heart who seeks God personally to find the will of God for their lives specifically, but it is very much inclusive of voice of God that speaks and that which leads a person to find the ultimate will of God with the help of the Word of God. In other words, when God speaks specifically, general will of God in His Word [i.e. the Logos] becomes a good principle to learn but to obey we should look to the voice of God which is the rhema word or a quickened word of God that comes to our heart from heaven for our specific situation which will line up within the principles of the Word of God and not against it (Isa 8:20; 34:16).

We should check our own motive to judge it before borrowing money from someone (1 Cor 11:31-32). A lot of borrowing happens for all the wrong reasons of greed. Over and over again, the Lord warns us to avoid covetousness and greed (Luke 12:14-15). Remember, “Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, ‘I will never desert you, nor will I forsake you’” (Hebrews 13:5, NIV). As Christians, for us to live in the center of God's will which keeps us in God's Presence is more precious to us than how much earthly money, property, riches, comfort, honor and power we acquire through this earthly life (Psa 119:72; Psa 16:11). Whatever earthly we acquire in life is just a bonus, but as we serve God in the will of God, our reward is eternal and more precious than anything we could ever compare on earth (Matt 16:26, 27).

As for your case, I can sure be bold enough to discourage you to go for any more loan because God has spoken a specific word not to go for a loan anymore. I believe that you should become content with what you have (1 Tim 6:6, 7-8; Heb 13:5), and you should be happy that God's Presence is with you to never leave you nor forsake you and that God might have important assignment for you in the future to fulfill, that is the reason God might be testing you and your family to know whether you will obey his specific revealed will of God for your and your families life.

Generally, it is not wrong to invest in immovable property which actually rises up in value for you to not only return the loan safely, but also make money out of it to fulfill a vision that God might have given you. But to invest in deteriorating products such as luxury cars or in general a car is not wise to take it through loan unless you can afford it as a luxury. Or else when you are doing a business for which a vehicle becomes a important instrument to generate more money to save time and pay back the loan efficiently and also expand the business for more returns, it will be more meaningful and affordable. At the same time the Bible warns us to guard against making plans that presume on God’s will for our future (James 4:13-16), so it is better to wait on God to know His specific will for our lives and then with all our heart pursue it by faith to see great and marvelous work of God done through our lives for the Glory of God.

Trying to get rich quick through borrowing or even lending for usury will not be blessed at the end by God, the people who borrow money without a clear plan to roll it to increase or pay back systematically with the required interest will lose completely their whole sum to the lender (Prov 20:21; 1 Tim 6:9). Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time (Prov 13:11). A faithful person who walks inline with the specific will of God for his or her life will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich through deceit or violence will not go unpunished (Prov 28:20).

So God’s Word does not forbid financial debt, but discourages it and warns of its bondage and its tendency to encourage us to presume on the future. Borrowing is never God’s best for His people (Deuteronomy 28:43-45). Therefore, follow God and his commands and your need for borrowing will be minimized or even eliminated (Deuteronomy 28:1, 12).

The longest term of debt God’s people took on in the Bible was about seven years (Deuteronomy 15:1-2). The only debts that could exceed seven years were those made to non-Jews or from non-Jews. So I would like to tell you, even if you have to take a 15-year loan, have a plan to pay it off in 7 years or less.

We see both in the Old and New Testament that the practice of biblical love toward one another is given a greater importance than becoming rich, or remaining, financially debt-free. So we must strive to pay back our debt financially if we have obligated ourselves in to such and such loan, but at the same time let us be careful enough not to get consumed in this whole process so as to lose sight of the highest importance of paying back our debt of love towards people because of the love of God shown towards us (John 13:34).

The bottom line is, because you already know the specific will of God for your life, do not again try to daggle in to confusion of trying to apply the Biblical priciples which are more or less permissible will of God when we find no specific will of God for us. For matters which you have sought enough from God, you can start to apply the guidelines of the Word of God to proceed further. If God sees your sincerity, he will say no if it is not His specific will of God for you. Or else He will automatically guide you through the same Biblical guidelines to confirm that what you are involved in is already His specific will for your life.

“Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these [material] things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33). In other words, God says that if we seek the spiritual riches first with God's right way of living through pleasing Him, we will become holistically rich with also all our needed material things added to it, so that we will have no lack in any area of our lives to fulfill God's purpose for our lives.

GLORY TO GOD!

How Do You Deal With A Leader Of The Church Who Is Practicing Homosexuality?

Can We Continue To Go To A Gay Pastor's Church?

Question : If the Pastor at your Church came out as gay, would you continue to go to that Church?

Answer : Greetings to you in Jesus name!

First of all the Word of God says, "9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." (1 Cor 6:9-10).

The unrighteous are those who are unbelievers who may outwardly profess a creed, go to Church, be a respectable deacon or even lead a Church being a Pastor of it to inspire people with their Charisma or grace gift which they might have received with a calling of God over their lives which is irrevocable (Rom 11:29). Even Judas was such a person who was with Jesus hearing all the truth and professing to be first a disciple of Jesus and later as an apostle among the twelve, but he was never saved and went to hell fire by committing suicide at the end (John 17:12; Acts 1:17-18, 19-20). But it is entirely another thing to become a righteous person, in the Biblical description of a righteous person, God imputes his own righteous to the ungodly people who believe Him, and from that point of time onward their faith is accounted by God for righteousness, Paul the apostle describes this as a blessedness from God who imputes or puts in to our spiritual account His righteousness apart from our works (Rom 4:5, 6). Having said about the above facts of becoming a righteous man in God's sight by believing God, I also say that God forgives the past, present and future sins of a believer once and for all time forever, and therefore no more sacrifice is ever needed by that person to do towards God except confess his sins to God for intimate fellowship as God cannot continue to work or fellowship with sin when it is hidden in the heart of a believer (Rom 4:7-8; Heb 10:12, 14; 1 John 1:7, 9; Hab 1:13; Psa 66:18). In other words, the born again or saved person is not the one who lives a sinless life, but they are saved to do good works and live a saintly life by the grace of God (Eph 2:8-9, 10).

To me as the Bible says, a born again saved person cannot continue in sin and practice it indefinitely as like the unbeliever without remorse or sorrow for doing it (1 John 3:6; 2 Cor 7:10). A person who keeps on sinning without regretting or having dislike for it have not ever been really saved as the following Scripture points out, "5 And you know that he [i.e. Jesus] became a man so that he could take away our sins, and that there is no sin in him, no missing of God's will at any time in any way. 6 So if we stay close to him, obedient to him, we won't be sinning either [i.e because Jesus comes to our aid in our fight against sin to overcome its power and its hold over our lives (Heb 2:16)]; but as for those who keep on sinning [i.e. without any remorse or conviction which leads to life of repentance (John 16:7-8; Rom 2:3-4; 2 Cor 7:10)], they should realize this: They sin because they have never really known him or become his." (1 John 3:5-6, LB).

There is another category who sin adamantly, they are those who are saved but because of living in the flesh and loving it have become stubborn enough to practice it (Heb 3:17; 1 Cor 10:6, 7, 8, 9, 10-11; 11:30-31, 32; Heb 12:4, 5-6, 7), these people will be chastised by the Lord Jesus and may even face death if they do not turn back from their evil ways and judge their own self of their ungodly practice of sin. Because the goodness of the Lord leads us to repentance, these believers if they persist in sin against God's chastising and loving hand, they will fall away and will have lack of repentance which will lead to God's judgment upon their lives for their stubbornness (Heb 6:6; 10:29-30, 31-32).

Should we judge the Pastor who lives in gay lifestyle openly or not?

Here is what Paul the apostle says, "For what have I to do with judging outside the church? Do you not judge those who are within the church? God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, "You must remove the evil person from among you." (1 Cor 5:12-13). In other words, Paul the apostle says, the Church should intervene as one body to take a decision to remove the person who is stubborn in practicing sin as a believer or in a leaders capacity.

In others words, when a leader is not repentant about his sin, he should graciously take a sabbatical until he full repents and then the Church should consider reinstating him to the position of leadership that he has been called for.

Jesus clearly told how a sinning Brother or a leader must be dealt by the Church, "15 If a brother sins against you [i.e Church at large or individual at the least], go to him privately and confront him with his fault. If he listens and confesses it, you have won back a brother. 16 But if not, then take one or two others with you and go back to him again, proving everything you say by these witnesses. 17 If he still refuses to listen, then take your case to the church, and if the church's verdict favors you, but he won't accept it, then the church should excommunicate him." (Matt 18:15-17, LB).

Also other apostles like James, Peter and Jude said, " 19 Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, 20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins." (Jam 5:19-20) and " 7 But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. 8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”" (1 Peter 4:7-8). Jude continues in this same vein saying, "22 Some, when they argue with you for sin, you must endeavor to convince against sin; 23 Others you must try to save who are religious but unsaved, as brands plucked from the flames; and still on others who are stubborn look with pity mingled with fear, while you hate every trace of their sin." (Jude 1:22-23, Paraphrased).

So what we hear the apostles say in the above verses are, resist the sin of people and yourself with a holy hatred, but love the people and yourself with the unconditional love of Jesus which has been expressed on the Cross. The Cross put a end to sin and its power, so we must take up our cross to follow Jesus and put an end to it in our lives too (Luke 9:23-24, 25-26).

We should judge the Pastor as he is the leader of a flock purchased by the very blood of Jesus (Acts 20:28), but not by ourselves, but collectively as a Church so that he could be given time to repent personally in his life.

Individually, we should judge sin in the Pastor who is gay, and make sure we love and support him in the process of repentance.

Should we continue to go the Church where we know the leadership is gay and practice it? 

It all depends on whether the Pastor is ready to repent or not? If the Pastor asks pardon for his lifestyle and takes a sabbatical for a time and repents, then we need not judge further. If not, we should stay away from such place because the Bible prohibits it and says "bad friendship corrupts good habits, morals and communication" (1 Cor 15:33). We are also told to follow the faith of those who profess the Scripture, considering the outcome of their conduct (Heb 13:7). In other word the Bible clearly says and warns the believers, if the conduct of a leader of a Church is not positive in holiness, and what he believes, speaks and practices in his life and ministry is against sin, do not follow them as they are not practicing the faith they profess which is not good for your soul growth spiritually. Praise the Lord! In other words, if we know that a leader practices a sin and condones it, but if we still choose to stay there just for the sake of maintaining our friendship, soon sin will desensitize our spiritual immunity and we too may become a part of the sinful lifestyle sooner or later to be judged by God along with the crowd around us. It is better to kill sin in us or others, before sin kills us or others by its power.

Hear how Jesus commended those believers in the first century who were carefully judging the life of people to find whether what they are is inline with truth or not, "2 “I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; 3 and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary." (Rev 2:2-3). In other words, Jesus expects us to test the life of leaders with what they profess and practice to understand whether their faith follows them. If we are ever deceived by something false, we are responsible for gulping out the deception due to the foolishness of our own spiritual laziness. We should be diligent like the Berean Christians whom the Holy Spirit recommended as a fair-minded or noble people for checking even apostle Paul's teaching from the Scripture to find out what he says is in the Scripture or not, to see whether his life sums up to what he professes from the Scripture (Acts 17:10, 11). So as a good disciple of Jesus Christ, learn to test the prophecy of people which can mislead you and cause ship wreck to your faith (1 Thess 5:20-21, 22; 1 Tim 1:18-19, 20), test the spirit behind the message of the gospel whether it is the Holy Spirit driven or flesh or evil spirit (1 John 4:1, 2-3; James 3:13, 14-15; 1 Tim 4:1), test the doctrines and hold fast to the sound doctrines that are taught by ministers of God (1 Tim 4:13; 2 Tim 2:15, 16-17, 18; Eph 4:14-15) and finally test the fruit of the Spirit and godliness in the life and character of the ministers who ministers to you in the Church or through media (Matt 7:15-16, 17-18, 19-20).      

The greatest single tool of leadership is an exemplary life. The puritan Thomas Brooks said, “Example is the most powerful rhetoric.”

The apostle Paul knew what it means to live a life others could follow, and he reminded the Church to look for character in the ministers of God when it comes to following them. Paul the apostle wanted leadership in the Church that not only will talk the talk, but also that which will walk the talk, and continue to talk the walk further in their lives. Look at the following verses:

1 Corinthians 4:16, “I urge you to imitate me.”

1 Corinthians 11:1, “Follow my example as I follow the example of Christ.”

Philippians 3:17, “Join with me in following my example and also others who walk just like me in following the Lord.” 

Philippians 4:9, “Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, put into practice.”

1 Thessalonians 1:5-6, “You know how we lived among you for your sake. You became imitators of us and of the Lord."

In other words, the greatest message a minister of God will ever preach is the one they preach with their life which is worthy to emulate and have followers. The example we set is absolutely critical for people to follow us as we follow Christ. It is the walk that gives authenticity to the talk we do to others.

In this last hours of the last days in which we are living, God expects us to be filled with Scripture and have a hatred for sin and love for the people (Matt 24:12, 14). He expects us to pray for overcoming sin and also help through it to people who are deceived by sin. May God help us to continue to live a godly life that pleases Him and receive great reward later for living it now gloriously by the grace of God. The bottom line is, hate sin and have no friendship with it, but love the sinner and lead him to the power of the Cross where there is always deliverance for us and others who are tormented by sin.

Describe Some Steps To Overcome Masturbation And Pornography?

Was Jesus Tempted Sexually? Is Solo-Sex A Boon Or A Bane?

Question : Was Jesus ever tempted sexually? Is solo sex not a boon but a bane? Describe some steps to overcome masturbation and pornography?

Answer : Greetings in Jesus wonderful name!

The Bible tells us Jesus in His humanity can 'sympathize with our weaknesses as one who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin' " (Heb. 4:15).

Young and old can breathe a sigh of relief and can come to understand that they are not alone when it comes to sexual temptation. Jesus Himself could sympathize with us who are being tempted sexually, because he too faced all of those different kind of temptation but yet did not give in to even one of those temptation, and have victoriously stayed in God's purity of heaven without sin.

Those who face sexual temptation of lustful thoughts and have given in to it leading to pornography and masturbation many times end up being dejected, sitting with their head buried in their hands, staring at the ground, obviously in torment when they face the after effect of indulging in sexual fantasies that had led them to solo sex or masturbation. Most people who become addicted to sexual lust themselves think, "I Could Never Tell Anyone I Have a Problem With Masturbation or Pornography, etc...," therefore Satan and his demonic minions rejoice when they see such people who are oppressed and make them get further isolated in dismay and hopelessness.

To be bold and transparent of our struggles will take us in to freedom that the Holy Spirit gives. In our generation, almost everyone is struggling with sexual lusts in this sex-obsessed and driven culture of the twenty first century. The insidious plan of Satan for our generation is to arrest everyone and corrupt everyone's thinking through pornography and the external manifestation of its intense lust through solo sex. Internet works as the pipe line of hell, but the good news is, we have the remedy for dousing this unholy fire with the Holy Fire of the Holy Spirit, who is ready to let the flame of heaven burn within us and set us ablaze with passion for deliverance of people like us to be delivered by the power of Jesus Christ and the message of the Cross.

Is solo sex or masturbation wrong according to God? Is pornography sin against God?

Ephesians 5:3 calls us "God's holy people" and says "there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity ... for it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret" (Eph 5:12). All lust whether it is solo sex [i.e. masturbation] or pornography or any other activities related to lustful and sexual thoughts or actions falls in to sexual immorality and in to the kind of impurity we see in the above verse which is indeed sin, and therefore will fail the above test.

Even a hint of sexual immorality that thrives with in God's holy people is that which is not acknowledged before God and others, such things are shameful to mention because they do it secretly and do not even accept it as sin before God or others. In other words, when we come out of sin openly and acknowledge that we struggle with it and want the grace of God to help us, we come in to light and therefore need not be afraid of darkness anymore. Sometimes people may try to mock us or call names against us, but the truth is, every person in secret struggles with sexual lust and only Jesus can help them overcome it and come in to the light of the truth of God. So do not live for others, live for yourself first and let others be blessed through your bold transparency. The devil thrives in darkness when we keep things as secret, the moment we confess our sins and come in to the light that Jesus provides (1 John 1:7, 9), immediately we have boldness to walk the talk and talk the walk in our lives.

The common effects of masturbation are (1) Fatigue, (2) Lower back pain, (3) Thinning hair/hair loss, (4) Weak erection, (5) Premature ejaculation, (6) Groin/testicular pain, (7) Concentration and memory problems and (7) Sleep problems. The above is not a exhaustive list, but a very common one. This doesn’t mean that one shall experience all of these effects, though they are very common.

Did you know that every time you ejaculate, you lose approximately 3-5 mg of zinc, that’s nearly a third of your RDA (recommended dietary allowance-the amount of nutrient and calorie intake per day considered necessary for maintenance of good health, calculated for males and females of various ages and recommended by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council). Zinc is one of the main minerals responsible for testosterone production, therefore less zinc, less testosterone etc. When someone has sexual intercourse with a female, certain trace minerals and prostaglandins are absorbed from the female vaginal secretions which balance this effect, I believe that is why even in the Scripture a regular coming together of the husband and wife is expected to take place except for the days of prayer and fasting, to avoid the temptation of solo sex or pornography which destroys a good family life (1 Cor 7:5; 1 Peter 3:7)!

We should ask ourselves this question, 'Do you really want to be a one-minute man and look like an idiot when you are with your partner?' No one will be able to honor their spouse being like this. I believe, to do solo-sex will never ever honor your wife and vice-versa if you are a wife. When you are married, to honor one another is to submit your body to your spouse within your marriage relationship without pre-condition expecting the other to do the same (1 Cor 7:3, 4).

By the way to those who are not yet married and are bachelors and spinsters, Paul did say if you can't handle your lust, to go ahead and get married (1 Cor 7:9, 2, 36, 28). But Paul was obviously talking to brand new Christian’s who weren’t abiding in JESUS (1 John 2:1, 12; 1 Cor 3:1-2; 7:37, 32, 34, 35). If God's word abides in us constantly and we meditate on it to live by the power of heaven and also stay in His love (John 15:5, 7; Jude 21), we will automatically become strong young men or women spiritually in the Lord and will overcome the evil demons of lust, our self life and the wicked one (1 John 2:13, 14).

Twelve Steps To Practice Victory Over Masturbation and Pornography :

1) “Therefore whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” (I Corinthians 10:31). May this be your new motto to stop all lustful activities that displeases God. Stop masturbating and viewing pornography for the Glory of God. This will ensure your success because God will come to your aid so that He will be glorified.

2) “Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” (2 Cor 3:16-18, NKJV). Whatever you behold, you will become like it. When you see the glory of God through His word which is the mirror and continue in it by not just hearing it but doing it by the grace of God (James 1:23, 25), then you become pure like the word of God you focus on constantly in your life (Psa 12:6, Prov 30:5). In other words, God’s word is the antidote for impurity (Ps 119:9).

3) "... By the fear of the LORD one departs from evil." (Prov 16:6). When you will see sin as a poison that must be eradicated at any cost, you will not look to push the limits of sin and also experience it more and more. When ever something unclean gets on you, you will immediately want to wash it away and stay clean by the power of the blood of Jesus.

4) Take your eyes of yourself and focus on God : You cannot expect God’s assistance if your focus is on yourself and what freedom can do for you. You cannot entertain a selfish motive to boast about, when it come to victory over sin (Eph 2:8-9). Isaiah 48:11 says God will not share his glory with another.

When ever you are bombarded with a unclean lustful thought which tries to drive you in to sexually lustful feeling, say to Jesus, "Dear Lord Jesus, I do not like this thought, take it away from me as I take it captive to you." Immediately such thought will vanish. When ever it tries to come again, practice the same prayer until the evil lustful thought completely subsides and perpetually flees out from troubling you.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
O’er us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conqu’rors we are!

His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

Turn your thoughts upon Jesus,
Drink deep of His comforting love,
And the thoughts of sin and self and strife,
Will be lost in that rapture above.

God works for his own glory and spot light! God will reduce your size and strength until you will know for sure and declare aloud the greatness of God in your victory over sin and self, which will only bring glory to Him (See Judges 7:2).

5) For single men God has created built in release mechanisms: either nocturnal emissions or absorption. For married men God has provided sex as a means of marital intimacy. We should first start to believe that these above systems that God has put within our body is the alternative means which takes care of our bodily drives. And we must come to a firm conclusion that masturbation is not the right way to release the God-given sexual drive or in other words solo-sex is not a right way to have a non-sinful release of tension in our members.

6) "O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. 2 So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory." (Psa 63:1-2). We must come to the point where we believe that sexual pleasure is not the ultimate escape from reality, but rather, we must learn the habit of escaping into reality of God Himself and His Presence which will give us the pleasure of escape from our sorrow, tensions, boredom and depression in to the heaven's reality of joy, peace and righteousness in the Holy Spirit (Rom 14:17; Psa 16:11). Isaiah the prophet beautifully describes the above points saying, "With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early." (Isa 26:9). I believe this is why Isaiah the prophet was able to experience God's glory and holiness more than any other of his contemporaries. In other words, Isaiah the prophet was living in perfect freedom of the Spirit of God in his private life. So we too can live like that if we seek God intensely like Him and live in His Presence constantly.

7) Sex is basically good, not evil. It is not a sin to be tempted. To give in to temptation is sin indeed. It is not wrong for a bird to fly over your head which you have no control over, but it is absolutely wrong and sinful to let it build a nest over your head and allow it to control you when you have the ability within you to resist it. Looking at any woman lustfully with evil desire is a sin that will lead to a spiritual image click by a lustful demon who will then bring the same image in to your mind to fantasize about it later when you are alone. Once the internal lustful eyes of the soul gets awakened by this lustfully recorded spiritual photograph taken by the demon, then immediately that same demon will automatically lead your hand to the sexual organ to stimulate it for solo sex, and thus sin with the coordination of eyes and hands which is so serious a sin against God which Jesus told every one to avoid it at all cost. Thus always without doubt pornography and masturbation go together always sinfully hand in hand to lead a person in to bondage and make the evil habit continue to oppress them (Matt 5:28, 30). So whenever you are tempted to see someone with an evil lustful eyes, at that point of time itself think, 'What their eternal end will be without Jesus saving them and then pray for their soul to be saved? (Prov 11:30)' Then if again at other times an evil eyes of adultery tries to influence you to look at a Christian of a opposite gender lustfully, then immediately think that someone you are looking at is a father, mother, brother or a sister in the Lord (1 Tim 5:1-2). By doing the above, our entire mindset gets sanctified for the Glory of God! GLORY...

8) Understand that assigned demons from Satan drives people in to masturbation and keeps them in bondage (John 8:34, 32, 36). JESUS made it clear to us that if we use our imaginations to have sex with someone, it is JUST LIKE we are actually doing it (Matt 5:28)!! This is called spiritual adultery because it is done with our thoughts by our will through our emotions. Derek Prince who was used of GOD as a mighty teacher and preacher of the Word of God for about 50 years in the past century and also in the early decade of this century said that the demon of masturbation takes control of our hand or fingers to cause a tingling sensation or even will try to bend it as it is a stubborn demon, so we should shake our hands while we command the demon out in Jesus name. As you try to quit masturbating, you will then know that the demon of masturbation will come against you and attack with the Lord's permission, only then you will come to realize that it is not just a feeling or practice, but it is a bondage from which only Jesus can set you free. In my life at a certain point of time, I was so enslaved to masturbation that I hated it because I loved God who hated this sin, so every time when I would fall, I would ask God why I did what I hated to do (Rom 7:19-20, 17-18, 21-22, 22-23), then after more than a couple of years of struggle, God showed to me in a night vision a demon causing this activity and hiding itself when I would get angry against what I did even without liking it or wanting to do it. Praise the Lord! God gives us victory over all demons that enslaves and give us the liberty for His Glory (Rom 7:25).

9) Demons operate from two alternative positions: (1.) From outside the body. (2.) From within the body. If they operate from outside, we must resist them (see James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:8–9). If they operate from within, we must expel them (see Matt. 8:16; Mark 1:39). When demons operate from within our sin nature, we must cast it out as apostle Paul also agreed with this and said, " 28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. 29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. 30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.” 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free." (Gal 4:28-31). The bond woman is our sin nature, and her son is the works of the flesh which we must cast out of us by the power of the Holy Spirit who works within us and leads us to freedom and liberty (Gal 5:24-25, 19-21, 16-18). 

So pray this prayer when you know that there is a compulsion that leads you to either pornography or masturbation or both against your own desire or liking, "Jesus Christ, I affirm that You are the Son of God and the only door to eternal life. I acknowledge that You died for my sins on the cross 2000 years ago and rose from the dead by the power of Your Holy Spirit. That same Holy Spirit power is greater than all other powers and has already defeated Satan and his demons on the cross 2000 years ago. Jesus, I renounce all arrogance, self-sufficiency and pride, which was the downfall of Satan. I have nothing and am nothing, except in You my hiding place. Jesus, I confess all my sins, especially pornography and masturbation and all related lustful thoughts that has led me in to it. I thank you that you have covered all my sins by your blood and have cleansed me from it all as I have believed your promises (1 John 1:7, 9), I am entitled now by your grace to have no more consciousness of sins of commission or omission that I have committed by ignorance or at other times by compulsion of my sin nature, and also have no more conscious of those ancestral sins of hereditary that have tried to influence me which actually have no right over me from the day I believed you as my Lord and Savior (Heb 9:15; 10:2-3, 4, 14, 17). I promise to try (with Your help and the help of others) not to repeat these sins. If I slip and fall, I will try to confess immediately, and turn to You for help. With Your help I will refuse temptation and negative attitudes, especially rejection which leads to all kind of lust. Jesus, Thank you for becoming a curse on the cross for me, so that I may be freed of all curses that are due to my own sins or the sins of my ancestors. Jesus, I take my stand, in Your name, Jesus, against all Satan’s demons. I trust that You will take care of the demons and also take care of me. I resist the devil, in Your name, Jesus. Amen."

Now say I am free in Christ Jesus! Yes you are! Believe it and live it for the Glory of God!

10) Don't be afraid or embarrassed to talk about this topic with your children, spouses, friends or even in church!!! Expose the work of darkness where ever or when ever it tries to hide (Eph 5:11, NIV). When you expose darkness with the light of God's truth that you agree with, your test becomes a testimony to someone who is struggling in darkness like you have been through in isolation. God will bless you then to be a blessing to someone in need. Our flesh man wants to climb down from the cross where he is crucified already with Christ, GOD wants us to keep the flesh man nailed up on the cross! So, consider yourself as dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus (Rom 6:11, 17), now present your members in obedience to God leading to righteousness, and do not present your members as slaves to sin to obey its lusts anymore which only leads to death (Rom 6:16). Even if you have accidentally fallen in to any lustful sins, do not allow that sin to reign in your mortal body to obey its lust anymore, but instead confess that sin immediately to God and become cleansed again by the precious blood of Jesus as soon as possible (1 John 1:7, 9). When you do the above procedure and believe in this kind of doctrine consistently, sin shall never be able to have dominion or rulership over you to keep you in its bondage of evil power anymore anytime (Rom 6:14). Let the light of God within you, expose the darkness without that tries to hide it all the time. Clean the lamp glass often so that the ash covering of darkness may not hinder the light to come out in to the open to light up the world around you.

11) Jesus overcame all sins on behalf of us to make us a new creation (2 Cor 5:21, 17). In other words, JESUS is the only one who ever EVER EVER OVERCAME PERFECTLY masturbation, pornography, and all lustful activities of the flesh to have fully walked in holiness and righteousness!!! Since only JESUS has overcome pornography, masturbation and all kinds of lust in various forms, only JESUS can help us, teach us, encourage us, motivate us and strengthen us to overcome too (1 John 5:4, 5)! Only Jesus can help us not to give in to sin when we are tempted, but instead give us the strength to stand victoriously against it and overcome it (Heb 4:15). Trust and lean on Jesus, he will lead you in the right path continuously.

12) If you are married and you are masturbating, you are hurting your marriage incredibly (Heb 13:4)! When a married person masturbates, they are bringing spiritually other men and women into their marriage too!! This is a spiritual adultery that is actually serious in the eyes of God.

As pornography and solo sex is spiritual adultery according to Jesus (Matt 5:27-28, 29-30), there will come a time when God will allow Satan to reveal the flaw in you to cleanse you and purify you to keep you in God's holiness and favor for the rest of the time ahead in your life (James 5:10, 11; Job 31:1, 42:1, 2, 5-6). Just the fact that you are masturbating in your marriage is going to give Satan permission to enter your marriage big time (Job 1:12; 2:3, 7), we need to repent of this behavior to look unto God to live victoriously again by driving back Satan who has come in to divide the family life.

Hear what the Lord Jesus is saying to you, "15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’”" (Rev 3:15-22).

PRAY WITH ME DEAR SAINTS : "O Lord, sorry for being lukewarm all these past years in my spiritual life, sorry for the spiritual pride in me that led me to say I am rich, wealthy and in need of nothing when I am actually wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked spiritually. O help me, I repent of my wrong thoughts and actions that led me to your loving rebuke and chastening for my own spiritual good and eternal benefit. I open the doors I have shut within me in the past to fulfill my own lust of the flesh which you always hated, and I invite you to fill all those places to have intimate communion with me from now onward, I cast this evil of the flesh out today and buy gold of great eternal value of spiritual power and a anointing that is now opening my eyes to see the reality of a overcoming life over pornography, masturbation and all its related lustful activities. Thank you Jesus for seeing my intense spiritual desire to please you and glorify you in my future, and may you grant me to sit with yourself on your throne with a great spiritual authority over sin, sickness and death. In Jesus mighty name! Amen!"

When The Bible Says God Whom No Man Has Seen Or Can See, How Could Some People See And Exclaim About Him In Other Places Of Scripture?

Did Father Abraham Had Really Met God The Father?

Question : I read your article titled "Who Is Melchizedek?", and you have explained beautifully one of the most mysterious Character in the entire Bible in a simple and clear manner for me to understand this wonderful theme of Melchizedek the royal-priest of God, through whom by His own will we who have believed Jesus Christ have been privileged to become His children as royal priest (John 1:12-13; 1 Peter 2:9). Thank you. My question to you is, Paul said in one of his epistles, "15 ...[God] will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen." (1 Tim 6:15-16). Here in the above verse it says, God dwells in "unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see" which to me means plainly that no man has seen or can see God, then how come you can tell that Father Abraham was met by the royal priest Melchizedek who is God the Father?

Answer : Greetings in Jesus wonderful name! Yes what you have asked is indeed a tough and a very nice logical question right from the Scripture.

Let us see the whole context of the verse and find what it does truly speak about?

Yes Paul the apostle said in his epistles, ""13 I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, 14 that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, 15 which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen." (1 Tim 6:13-15).

When Paul speaks in the above verses, he is saying it "in the sight of God...and before Jesus Christ," which conveys to us that he is speaking not only about God the Father who is in heaven but also about Jesus Christ who is seated at the right hand of the Father God in heaven in all authority and power over the entire universe (Matt 28:18; 26:63-64; Eph 1:20-21). So the following description about God as "15...He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see..." equally honors God the Father in heaven and Jesus who is at His right hand, and it means both in their full glory "no man has seen or can see." We know "the King of kings and Lord of lords" is the name that will actually be written on the robe and thigh of Jesus Christ when He will return back to this present earth to consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy the False Prophet, Antichrist and his armies of humans that followed him with the brightness of His coming along with the armies of saints from heaven (2 Thes 2:8; Rev 19:14, 16). That ensures that the theme is talking more about Jesus Christ in his glory which He has regained with the Father, which he had left when assigning himself as the Son in relating to His creation by his own choice before the present world was formed with ministering angels to assist Him in his creation (John 17:5; Pro 8:4, 22, 24, 27, 30-31, 36; Job 38:6, 7).

In other words, by discussing with in the Trinity initially before all creation, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit by agreement took the agreed upon assigned designation with the same title relating to humans and revealing themselves to them in this way (Matt 28:19; John 10:18). So once Jesus took on the role of the Son of God within the Trinity of the God-head, immediately he left his glory which He only chose to regain it after his death on the cross (Php 2:8, 9). But as the Son of God in itself he was so glorious than any other created being of any kind in the whole universe, and He was God even when He acted as the unique Angel of the LORD and has never ceased to be God who is worthy of all worship, but when the Son chose to become a man and became one, being found in the appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross (Php 2:8).

The above verse also speaks equally about God the Father I believe, because it also says, "13 I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus...14...you keep this commandment [i.e. good confession and fight of faith] without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, 15 which He will manifest in His own time..." Here in the above verses we see Paul saying "Jesus Christ’s appearing...[God] will manifest in His own time" which is what Jesus also agreed to have said about His secret coming of Rapture to the disciples of His (Acts 1:7; Matt 24:36).

So coming to the point of your question, 'How can man see the God who dwells in "unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see"?,' means that God in His full glory without restraining Himself do dwell in "unapproachable light [in heaven], whom no man has seen or can see." God has said that heaven is my throne and earth is His footstool, which means God reveals on earth only a foot placing level of His glory to the inhabitants of it, though he has a lot more [i.e. infinite level of glory] to reveal than that capacity, the humans on earth cannot handle any more capacity of Divine glory in their physical level of seeing Him in their dust bodies (Isa 66:1; Acts 7:49). Neither the tents or temple built by humans can contain His full glory, nor the human body as the temple of God can contain or withstand the full glory of God. So whatever ways God reveals Himself to man is only a part of the full glory and not the full glory which no man has seen or can see.

That is why Jesus had left his glory which was in the form of God in heaven to become in to the form of man on earth which is a humble state for the person who has created the whole universe which made him leave a lot and stay only with a little of his own (Php 2:8), yet he never ceased to exist as God because inside that body of Jesus, the eternal Son was in the spirit which resided in that body (Isa 9:6).

The apostles and disciples were able to see Jesus' glory in a limited way compared to the real one which He has left in heaven by his own choice (John 1:14). John reveals in his gospel, that no one has seen God at any time, except the Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him (John 1:18), which reveals that Jesus was in the bosom of the Father in perfect understanding with Him when he became man, and it also shows that even in his humanity he was able to co-exist as God with the Father in perfect union, to hear and see and take collective decisions or individual ones by the power of unity in trinity, which made Him declare to humanity about the Father God in heaven who is good and everlasting towards them. Even though Jesus lived on earth, he was able to see the Father God in heaven spiritually and hear Him all the time which made Him co-exist with God spiritually and eternally which has no boundary or time (Matt 3:16-17; John 11:40, 42; 12:28-29, 30; 6:38, 42, 69; John 3:13; Eph 2:6). Only at that time when Jesus hung on the Cross for our sins over a period of three hours, for the first time in eternity, Jesus actually felt as though he has got out of the loop of that eternal unity of trinity in his natural state of his body which although is a fact physically but was not the truth eternally and spiritually (Matt 26:53; 27:45, 46, 50; 54:7, 8). In other words, Jesus was forsaken for a moment with God's wrath doesn't mean that the unity of the trinity actually were disillusioned and got divided for a moment, God cannot cease to exist even for a mere moment as though he doesn't know what is happening. If that is so, then how can God be omniscient knowing the end from the beginning (Isa 46:10)? The very fact that the words spoken by Jesus in Matt 27:46 as saying, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?", is a prophetic Messianic verse of Psa 22:1 which was fulfilled by Jesus on the Cross, which shows to us that the very unity of trinity was not divided at that moment, but the separation of man from God by sin was enacted by Jesus for our behalf and for our sins to be cleansed through his human body as a substitutional sacrifice (Heb 10:5-7, 12, 13, 14; Isa 59:2).

So I do assure you that man can see God in a limited glory which he can handle, the limit of how much we can see him depends on how much we can pursue peace with all people and holiness, without which no human can see the Lord or his supernatural activities through them in their natural state (Heb 12:14; 2 Tim 2:21).

God revealed to Moses his glory only in the capacity he was able to handle, as God himself said at that time that no man can see my face and live which means if God shows his full glory, no man will be able to handle it and live further alive in their human body (Exo 33:18, 19, 20-21, 22-23).

The Bible says that Jacob in an encounter with Christ conversed as follows, "Then Jacob asked, saying, “Tell me Your name, I pray.” And He said, “Why is it that you ask about My name?” And He blessed him there. So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”" (Genesis 32:24–25, 28–30). Many theologians refer to the appearances of God in these passages, and others like them, as “theophanies” (Greek: theos = “God” + phaino = “appear”) or “Christophanies.” So these words mean “appearances of God” and “appearances of Christ,” respectively.

The Angel of the Lord received worship willingly which only God is worthy to receive (Jos 5:14-15), so now we know that this was none other than our Christ in his pre-incarnate state appearing to humans as theophany, which means God restraining himself and showing himself to humans in a form or way they can relate to Him, so that they can know within them that they have seen God face to face, that which God reveals to them in a limited level of glory which they can handle with their human body which is very fragile and can easily break out if the glory of His Presence is too high or very weighty.

First the Bible says in Gen 18:2, “Abraham lifted his eyes and looked and saw naturally three men [strangers] standing by him, once he saw them intently he recognized his Divine Master [Adonai] and he bowed himself to the ground.” This gives us a clear idea that whenever Abraham met Christ the Master, he had the perception in him to perceive the Divineness in him whom he was meeting. By the time of Genesis 18, God had already appeared to Abraham on at least two occasions (Genesis 12:7, 17:1) and spoken to him in some way several other times (Genesis 12:1; 13:14; 15:1). It is reasonable to conclude that in Genesis 18 Christ appeared in the same form as before so that Abraham would recognize Him. Indeed, when he saw the Lord and the other two “men” (angels), Abraham ran out to Him and bowed down. If Abraham was able to identify clearly the Divine Christ in his pre-incarnate appearance as the Master, why not Abraham could have also identified the Father God as Melchizedek when He met Him as the priest of the Most High God (Gen 14:18-20)?

Do you know that Holy Spirit was seen in the form of dove by the man Jesus and all those around him, the Father God's voice was heard from heaven to all men at that time (Matt 3:16, 17; John 1:32; 1 Tim 2:5)? Again here is a revelation of constrained and symbolic glory.

If the Holy Spirit Himself who has no image as He is a Spirit being had revealed Himself in his self-revelation in the form of a dove to make us understand His Almightiness and harmless purity of His Divine Character, why can't God the Father reveal Himself in a limited glory to Abraham as the High Priest of the lineage of Melchizedek? We do not decide how much of God's glory we can handle without busting out in to oblivion, it is God who decides who or how much we can handle His Glory safely. That is why God's call to holiness is a serious call to us individually which God takes seriously, because He wants to reveal Himself day by day more and more of His Glory (2 Cor 3:18; Psa 84:7). Hallelujah!!

I hope that you have come to understand by the above explanation that the scenario that you have questioned by another Scripture from 1 Tim 6:16 is indeed possible with God's choice to show his grace but not with man's striving (Luke 18:27). No man has seen or can see God until God chooses to self reveal Himself to him and his understanding in various ways, as he gropes out in this world of darkness to seek Him who is unseen yet seen everywhere in all things and all places which shouts out His Glory and His handiwork! Such seekers will always without fail will find God where ever they might be present in this whole wide world.

Much Blessings....
