RSSVERIFY Biblical messages by Cicily Sunny, New York, USA.
Jesus said to the disciples, ”Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature,” (Mark 16:15). Without motivation from the heart no one can do this great job. Only after having an encounter with Jesus in 1995 I got the desire to know God more through the Bible and through the writings and messages of other people who have experienced God. I got the motivation to share with others about my experience, the wonders God has done in the lives of people as narrated in the Bible, the hope of eternal bliss with God, the hard fight we have to do with the devil in this world to obtain that eternal heaven, the need to be thorough with the message of God in the Bible, to establish a relationship with God, to prioritize God in our lives, and to spend time in matters regarding God. Just being a Christian does not mean that all these things happen automatically. We have to caution ourselves every minute of our life against our enemy, who is constantly busy in polluting the minds of people until our heart is fully with him and escape will seem very minimum. “Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1st Peter 5:8). The Holy Spirit is in our midst for those who seek Him. Jesus said, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be open to you” (Matthew 7:7). When I seriously asked God for help, He talked to me right away. “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will enter his house and dine with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20). When you try to know God more, more will be revealed to you. Listening to Biblical messages may seem boring, but its effect is miraculous. “Thus faith comes from what is heard, and what is herd comes through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17). According to my convictions, knowing who God is, what God had done in the lives of people in the past, how God is working in the lives of people now, how we can make a good friendship with God, how we can unite with God again physically and spiritually will straighten our spiritual, mental and physical wellbeing forever. The Bible is the perfect source for this. Everything said above is connected to my life also.

How can you overcome the world?/ ലോകത്തെ എങ്ങനെ ജയിക്കാം?
Reading: John 16:25-33- I have overcome the world
John 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.
