TESTIMONY

GANPAT SHANKAR AMBEKAR
I had been doing continuous night shifts and fell sick. I was at home for a long time, became very weak and almost completely bed-ridden. My eyesight too began to fail until I could hardly see. I was admitted to a hospital. On examination, the doctor recommended immediate blood transfusion. I could not afford this and so took a decision that the best thing I could do was to end my life by suicide.
Then one of my friends spoke to me and gave me hope. I was carried to Pastor Robin Almeida’s service. On the first day my eyes were healed and I found that I could see clearly. I attended the service for a second time and got to know about Jesus. The next day I went to the doctor to be examined. He told me that there was no need for blood transfusion as he found my blood level to be absolutely normal. Jesus healed me totally and I have now accepted Him as my only Lord and Savior.
I now have a full time job, am absolutely healthy and not in need of any medication. Thank you Jesus! I believe you are the Son of The Living God!

THE GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION IN JESUS

THE GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION IN JESUS

GOD
- is the creator of everything that exists. He is supreme, awesome, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, magnificent, glorious, dazzling, beauty beyond words.
MAN - God created human beings to rule the earth and to worship Him. In the beginning, God had a wonderful personal relationship with Adam and Eve, whom He created in His own image and likeness. He walked with them and talked with them. This beautiful relationship with God was destroyed when they disobeyed God.
SIN - disobedience to the will and plan of God for our lives is SIN. Idolatry is also SIN. When we place anything or anyone else above God, it is idolatry. The consequences of sin are spelt out in the following scripture verses:

Isaiah 59:1&2 - “Behold the Lord’s hand is not shortened that it cannot save, nor His ear heavy that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that He will not hear.”

Isaiah 1:15 – “When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not hear…”

Romans 6:23 - “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

JESUS THE MESSIAH – God did not leave mankind to die eternally in this condition of separation from God.

John 3:16 – “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 1:1&14 – “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

SALVATION IN CHRIST ALONE – By being separated from God, mankind lost the authority that God had given them and passed it on to Satan. Jesus came, took the authority back from Satan and gave it back to mankind. The following scripture verses tell us how this happened:

Acts 4:12 – “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

God to Man - Genesis 1:26&27 – “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’ So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”

Man to Satan – Genesis 3 (read the entire chapter)
Verses 2 –6: And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden, but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ “ And the serpent said to the woman, “you will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave it to her husband with her and he ate.”

Satan to Jesus – By His suffering, shedding of His blood and dying for us on a cross, Jesus took back the authority from Satan and gave it back to Man, according to God’s original plan for us.

JESUS TO MAN
Luke 10:19 – “Behold I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
Mark 1:15 – “The time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the Gospel.”
Isaiah 53: 4&5 - “Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows, yet we considered Him stricken, smitten by God and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him and by His stripes we are healed.”
Psalm 103:2-5 – “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. Who forgives all your iniquities. Who heals all your diseases. Who redeems your life from destruction. Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies.”

The Master's Touch Healing Center held a program "Festival of Miracles" that was attended by people of various religious backgrounds. The presence of God was powerfully experienced and Jesus healed many people that evening. There were so many who queued up to give their testimony, that everyone could not be given the opportunity as time was running out.

Pastor Robin gave a very powerful preaching on the topic "7,6,5,4,3,2,1" demonstrating how Jesus kept using fewer and fewer words when He healed people.

TESTIMONY OF PASTOR ROBIN ALMEIDA

I was a notorious and hardcore person, lost in a world of violence and destruction and one fine day I encountered Jesus Christ of Nazareth the living God. That is when I surrendered my whole life unto him. I was born again at the age of 19, and at the age of 20 the Lord made me a preacher. Since the past 4 years the Lord has used me to preach unto thousands of people through retreats, seminars and healing services, in english, hindi, marathi and konkani. My family members have been a great support to me in my transformation and spiritual growth. Thanks to my mother (Helen), sister (Sarita) and brother (Sujith) and above all I thank Jesus my only Lord and Saviour. Amen and Amen.
