I believe in miracles. I believe that God heals.
One day all true believers in Christ will be perfectly healed.
Is there “healing in the atonement” so that every believer has the “right” to claim it for himself? There are sincere people who claim Matthew 8:17, quoting Isaiah 53:4 and 1 Peter 2:24 teach healing for everyone today.
Those who teach the faith-cure theory of atonement claim that the atonement of Christ includes spiritual healing as well as the provision for bodily healing. Faith healer campaigns are built around these passages.

“Be imitators of God” (Ephesians 5:1).
Those words are startling, upsetting, impossible. It is “the ultimate ideal.”
“Be imitators of God.” There can be no higher standard than that. The apostle Paul boldly tells us if we are to be like God we must imitate Him.
How is it possible for us depraved sinners to possibly imitate the sovereign LORD of the universe?
Once we get over the initial shock we realize that as children we are to imitate our parents. We should behave like them assuming they are godly role models.

There is no greater joy and peace for a sinner than knowing that he or she has been ransomed, healed, restored and forgiven of all his sins.
The Holy Spirit “witnesses with our spirit” giving this great assurance that all our sins are under the blood of Jesus Christ.
Jesus is our great advocate in heaven pleading our case before the Father. He is not declaring our innocence, but our guilt, and the fact that we have accepted Him as our Substitute who died in our place on the cross.

Jesus Christ is the best gift God could ever give.
God so loved the sinful, lost, depraved world that He gave His very best.
Can you imagine what it would be like to reject what God considers to be His greatest gift?
The purpose of God giving His gift was to save men, not condemn them.
“God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes on Him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16, NIV).

God has provided salvation for you in Jesus Christ.
In simple, lucid language Jesus sums up the entire Gospel for Nicodemus and us in one beautiful sentence rich in content.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
Martin Luther said these “words are able to make the sad happy, the dead alive, if only the heart believes them firmly.”

W
hat if you meet a stranger and he tells you: “Come, follow me!”
What if some strange knock wakes you up in the middle of the night and tells you: “You have wasted your life following your master”.
What if one day you find that after 10 years of sadhana you are still where you started from?
This is possible. This can happen to anyone seriously seeking “That” by which everything gets known. Such moments of revelation can disillusion the seeker. These very moments can also lead the seeker to the True Master. Such masters are rare and their work is usually done in silence and in secret.
They are the reluctant masters. Reluctant because they don’t have a choice. Not a word will they speak nor move an inch of their own accord. Yet they seem to control the fate of those who are seen around them.
They are not here to transform people or society; nor is their purpose to improve mankind. These masters do not perform miracles or heal people. Yet miracles happen, healing takes place, people get transformed and mankind benefits by their presence. But they deny changes and refuse to take credit for them. According to them, all this is part of God’s leela (play) and all that has to happen has already happened!
The only freedom you have is to drop your ego and get in touch with the source. The source that is inside you, pulsating with the rhythm of this very existence. That is the only freedom you have. Everything else is an illusion. Only a real master can lead you to the path that crosses all barriers of illusions.
Such masters may be rare and reluctant, but they are always waiting for you.
You may receive a message, an address or a personal visit from these masters. They could be dressed like ordinary people, living ordinary lives. They could be from any profession: from cobbler, chef, gardener, driver to an accountant, or CEO of a corporate house. No job is good or bad for them. It does not really matter. What matters is the Divine.
The first meeting with any such master will be the moment of truth - and death for the seeker. Truth of the seeker and the master, and death of the past and the future.
What transpires between the reluctant master and the seeker will be only ‘now’, in the present moment. Every moment their relationship will happen. Every moment they will communicate and pierce the hearts of the seekers of the Divine. The seeker will die every moment and live every moment.
However, the heart that is pierced is not the physical heart. That is just an organ of the body.
What keeps man alive?
What force pumps the blood?
What makes the physical body and the heart pulsate to a certain rhythm?
How does one breathe?
Where does the vital force originate and where does it end?
Where is the life force stored and how does it get revitalised?
The answer lies in the lotus of the (principal) heart. Only a competent master, from the lineage of the most secretly guarded ancient tradition of initiation, is permitted to reveal it to the ‘chosen few’ seekers directly under the supervison of the Divine.
These masters can never be sought in crowds. Nor will they have an army of disciples. They will be waiting somewhere for their chosen disciples: in remote huts in a jungle or in somebody’s house. There will be no dazzling display of personality or oratorial skills. They will sit quietly. But one look from them is enough to seduce you to the Divine. Such masters could take you by your hand in your full wakefulness, in your own physical body, to other realms of existence.
Such masters exist. Not only in India but throughout the world. But there are only a few hundred of them at any given time on earth. They remain unknown to the world. Only their closest disciples know about them.
If you meet such a master, let him catch you. Allow him to take you wherever he can.
But how would you know? Only he will know whether you are ready. Only he can extend his hand. You only need to be available.
Without such masters, no meditation can help. At the most, it would make you a little relaxed, and enhance your talents. A businessman would become a refined businessman. A poet would write with more clarity. And so on.
Unless a competent master burns all old sanskaras (impressions in the mind) cleansing out the grossness, your anger, greed, lust and ambition, which remain hidden, may surface at a moment of crisis. There are so many schools of meditation, so many teachers and so many masters. But look at their disciples. They are the same!
If you want enlightenment, pray sincerely to God, and the real master will arrive. And when he arrives, you will know.

Preaching is preaching only when the messenger is anointed with the Holy Spirit.
The apostle Paul tells how he arrived in the city of Corinth not dependent upon self-assurance, self-assertiveness, or a powerful personality, “but in demonstration of the Spirit and power” (1 Corinthians 2:4). In fact, Paul stresses the contrasting difference, “For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and power, that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God” (vv. 2-5).
Only the anointing of the Holy Spirit can make great preaching.
