My Soul Longs For You! Nothin' else will do. . . . . Yes, True and Almighty Living God. My souls longs for you. . . . . . I have been listening to "My soul longs for you, Nothin' else will do . . .. .nothin' else will do" over and over again. At night, during the day, while online, while asleep. . . in fact all the time in different worship postures of kneeling, postrate on the floor face up to the sky and face down to the floor, standing, hands raised up etc. . . .in silent awe, with watery tears in my eyes, with deep Holy Spirit inspirations and an awesome presence of God. This song is incredibly annointed! Listen to it and you will know why? Isaiah 26:9 . . . .my soul longs for You . . . my spirit within me seeks You diligently.

I'm Christian Dating a Non-Christian Possibly Intending To Get Married. Need Advice

no@spam.com (Pritam Singh Sandhu) — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:47:46 MDT

I am a Hindu and have received a proposal from a Christian girl who converted from Hinduism three years ago. Whilst my parents expect her to follow my religion after marriage; I am of the view that she can follow her religion but she has to partake in all my Hindu religious activities; and that we have to have a Hindu marriage. I also respect Christianity and she can go to church etc. with myself accompanying her whenever possible. She has come back to me saying that all the above will be a sin in Christianity and that she will be punished if she participates in my activities. I have been advised by my Hindu priest to participate in her activities where possible. I respect her choice of religion because for me there is only one god; it's just that we all have our own ways of faith.

Global Day of Prayer

no@spam.com (Pritam Singh Sandhu) — Tue, 06 May 2008 23:18:15 MDT

On 15 May 2005 millions of Christians from 156 nations in the world united in the first ever Global Day of Prayer. Christians gathered in different venues, seeking God's face in repentance and prayer for the transformation of their communities and nations. Driven by Hab. 2:14 ("For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea"), the dream is to mobilize Christians from every single nation in the world to participate in the Global Day of Prayer over the next few years until 2010. However, the focus is not only on a single day of prayer, but to see a lifestyle of prayer established that will transform communities. This move of prayer is still miraculously expanding. In 2006 millions of Christians from 199 nations united in prayer and in 2007 even more Christian from 204 nations participated. On Pentecost Sunday, 11 May 2008, the nations of the world will once again unite in the Global Day of Prayer.

Father's Love Letter - Unconditional Love From The Father Of Creation

no@spam.com (Pritam Singh Sandhu) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 09:35:03 MDT

Father's Love Letter is a compilation of bible verses from both the Old & New Testaments that are presented in the form of a love letter from God to the world. Each line in the Father's Love Letter message is paraphrased, which means we have taken each scripture's overall message and summarized it as a single phrase to best express it's meaning. The power of God's Word has the ability to change lives because it is God's Word. The Bible describes God's Word as living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12) and promises not to return empty (Isaiah 55:11). Today we live in a fatherless generation where many people believe that God's angry and distant from His creation. The world is crying out to be unconditionally loved. The Church is crying out to be unconditionally loved. We all desperately need to hear the truth that God loves us and is the Father we have been looking for all our lives.

Dreams and Visions of Jesus

no@spam.com (Pritam Singh Sandhu) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 07:07:40 MDT

For decades, a phenomenon has been recurring in the Muslim world. Men and women – without any knowledge of the Gospel and without any contact with Christians – have been forever transformed after experiencing dreams and visions of Jesus Christ. Reports of these supernatural occurrences often come from “closed countries” where preaching the Gospel is forbidden and where converting to Christianity can invoke the death sentence. A common denominator appears to be that the dreams come to those who are seeking to know and please God. We decided to capture some of these stories and use them as a witnessing tool to Muslims all over the world.

Jesus - A Man Of Sorrows And Familiar With Suffering

no@spam.com (Pritam Singh Sandhu) — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 01:19:02 MDT

Just as there were many who were appalled at him, his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likenes, so will he sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him. He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

Pray For Pakistan - Prayer Can Do What Man Cannot Even Imagine.

no@spam.com (Pritam Singh Sandhu) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 02:04:34 MST

In recent months there has been a lot of political, religious and now the killing assassination of Pakistan's former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. As we reflect upon this Psalm and think about the current situation, our hearts are filled with pain to hear about problems described as “Chaos” by news headlines. Please pray for Pakistan, that God may bring peace and stability in the country. Also pray for political and religious leaders that they would fear God and make wise decisions. Please pray for the Church, leaders and believers that God will protect them and use them to share God’s love to many people. May the Lord grant His special grace to the church to continue in firm confidence in God and to rely on His presence, through His Son Jesus Christ, who came to this earth, as “God with us.”
