The First Epistle of JOHN 1:5-9
This is the message that we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

TESTIMONY
WILSON NADAR
Pastor Robin Almeida has been a personal friend of many years and I have witnessed the power of his prayer even before he established “The Master’s Touch Healing Center.” So when the doctor, on checking me up, informed me that there were very slim chances of my becoming a father, I requested my friend to pray over me. As he prayed, he gave me a date on which my wife would get pregnant. It happened on that very day, as confirmed by the gynecologist a few days later.
After some months we went for a routine checkup. To our dismay, the doctor informed us that our child was no more and immediate removal was required. He gave us an appointment when this could be done. I met Pastor Robin and gave him the terrible news. Seeing my total discouragement, he did his best to revive my hope and faith in the Lord. As my wife was at home, we called her on the phone and Pastor prayed, saying: “Father, I inject life into her womb in the Name of Jesus.” Hearing this short and simple prayer, I found it difficult to believe that it would be effective. But Pastor Robin assured me that God had already answered it.
When we returned to the doctor at the appointed time, no one was more shocked than he to find that the baby in my wife’s womb was very much alive! Saying that it was beyond all medical explanation, he declared it to be a miracle! Today, we are the proud parents of a healthy three-year-old daughter! I thank Jesus Christ for this amazing and awesome miracle in my life.
John 11: 25 – “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life.’”

I COME TO THEE O LORD
So far, O Father, I wandered from Thee,
Yet you did not give up on me.
With all my evil and sinful ways,
I missed the presence of Thy loving grace.
To win this world, I ruined my soul.
I crossed the limit to achieve my goal.
By this time my state turned worse,
Nothing did I inherit other than a curse.
My heart yearned and sought for love.
I could not find it, so I looked above.
Nothing and no one could satisfy me.
At last, before you, I bowed my knee.
With all your mercy you embraced me,
And then I realized you were longing for me!
Such pleasure and sweetness filled my soul,
You are truly my ultimate goal.
Keep me, Lord, in Thy presence forever,
I have found Thee better late than never!
The rest of my life I’ll work for you,
For the harvest is plenty and the laborers are few.

RAJENDRA KUMAR JAIN
I was an alcoholic for 15 years. I used to be a social drinker until I began associating with a group of friends at my office. We would meet everyday after work, drink together and enjoy each other’s company. Gradually, I began drinking while on duty as well and got hooked onto it. Money ran out and we had to depend on my wife’s meager salary to support our family with two children. In desperation, she resorted to prayer and having been introduced to Pastor Robin Almeida’s prayer service, became a regular attendee. She invited me to go with her, but I flatly refused.
On one of the “dry days” (all liquor shops were closed on certain days by govt. regulation), I had nothing to do in the evening and felt an unexplainable urge to go to the prayer meeting. I did not know at the time that Pastor Robin had predicted this to my wife. Not knowing the exact location, I went down all the nearby roads in search of the place until I suddenly heard the sound of singing and clapping accompanied by some percussion instruments. I entered and sat just outside the doorway. At the end of the meeting Pastor Robin spoke to me about Jesus and I started going there everyday. After the first week I was totally delivered from alcohol. It is now three years that I am completely free. My life has changed, our economic situation has improved and there is peace and happiness in our family. Thank you Jesus!

VINCENT D’SOUZA
I am 22 years old. Two years ago, I had applied for an engineering course at NITTE, got a merit seat and started my classes with full earnestness. But I used to get fever every now and then and discovered some lymph nodes on my neck. The diagnosis showed that it was Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia for which I was treated at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai. A month later, Chemotherapy was started. After the first dose, my blood count dropped very low, accompanied by high fever and giddiness. There was little hope for my survival. I was put on heavy antibiotics and required frequent hospitalization. At times I had to be rushed there even at midnight.
My sister and her husband came to know about Pastor Robin Almeida and requested him to pray over me. Since it was night, Pastor asked my brother-in-law to lay his hand on me, while he prayed over the phone. The next day I went for a check-up. Praise the Lord! The doctors found that miraculously the blood count had become normal and they stopped all the antibiotics. From then on, my health started to improve and not even once did I have to be admitted to the hospital. I went for regular check-ups. The hospital reports showed that the cancer had completely disappeared. Jesus worked a miracle in my life through the prayers of Pastor Robin and the faith of my dear ones. Thank you Jesus, good and mighty God!
My prayer is that the good God may perform many more miracles through the hands of Pastor Robin Almeida, so that he may ease the pain of many and draw distressed souls closer to God. May God bless him abundantly! Praise the Lord! Alleluia!

TESTIMONY
RAKESH JAIN
At the age of 18 I began attending rave parties, invited by a friend. There I was introduced to hashish (drug) and enjoyed it. Then I went on to other heavier drugs and became an addict. I used to harass my parents for money and trouble them in other ways, causing them to get fed up of me and at times desperate.
They took me to Pastor Robin Almeida’s prayer service that did attract me, but I used to be very irregular and still continued with the drugs. One day Pastor called me for counselling, explained the Gospel to me and prayed with me. From the very next day I stopped the drugs, not even feeling the urge for it. However, I still continued to smoke cigarettes. I began to attend the prayer services regularly, learnt what it meant to completely surrender my life to Jesus and thus was delivered from smoking as well. Today, at the age of 22, I am fully committed to The Master’s Touch Healing Center and play the keyboard at all the services. Praise the Lord!

THREE DIMENSIONAL SALVATION
Over the years, people came to consider salvation as limited only to the soul and forgiveness of sins. If you read the Bible, you will understand the fullness of Salvation, that God wanted mankind to be saved wholly.
As water is made up of 2 parts of hydrogen and 1 part of oxygen (H2O), similarly the human person is made up of spirit, soul and body.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 says: “May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole body spirit and soul be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
In Isaiah 53:4-5, God speaks about that 3 dimensional salvation. “Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.” When God speaks about “transgressions and iniquities”, he is referring to sin in our souls. When he speaks about peace, he is referring to the mental/emotional condition of our spirits. When he says “by his wounds we are healed” he is referring to our bodies. So a man on a wheelchair cannot say that he is completely saved. His soul might be saved, but the body is still a slave of sickness.
If one Jesus came down to save your soul, two other Jesus’ would be required to save the spirit and body, which is not true! One Jesus was sent to save us totally. He has done the complete job of saving mankind spiritually, mentally/emotionally and physically. The moment you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, your soul, spirit and body has to be saved. Every miracle that Jesus performed was instant, i.e., if you come to Jesus with a repentant heart, he will not say, “live in you sins for a few days and then I will forgive you.” He forgives instantly and your soul is set free! Then why not the same with your body and spirit? In the Bible, wherever we read that sin is forgiven, we find that healing follows.
Mark 2:1-12, speaks about the paralytic man at Capernaum who was carried to the house where Jesus was, by 4 of his friends. Because of the crowds, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “My son, your sins are forgiven.” Then he said to the paralyzed man (in verse11) “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” Verse 12 says: “He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”
In the above passage, Jesus clearly demonstrates the 3 dimensional Salvation. When Jesus called him “My son”, he healed the spirit. When he said, “your sins are forgiven”, he healed the soul. Then when he said, “get up, take your mat and go home,” he healed the body.
Other Scripture passages that refer to the 3 dimensional Salvation are the following:
Psalm 103:3-5 – “who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”
2 Chronicles 7:14 – “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
Isaiah 33:24 – “No one living in Zion will say, “I am ill”; and the sins of those who dwell there will be forgiven.”

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Acts 3: 1-8, 11-13, 16
One day, Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. Now a man crippled from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put everyday to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.
Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.
While the beggar held on to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon’s Colonnade. When Peter saw this, he said to them: “Men of Israel, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our power or godliness we had made this man walk? The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus.
By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see.

Dear Pastor,
Praise God and wishing you a very Blessed day. Please find below my testimony:
Praise God, this is a testimony of amazing, awesome works which God has done in my life. All Glory to God and and by this testimony, I hope that many will be encouraged to worship and praise the living God and be drawn into his kingdom of love and may by this testimony, the Church be edified and our Lord and Savoiur Jesus Christ be glorified forever and ever Amen.
I developed swelling in my right leg while serving on board the ship and was sent to the doctor at foreign port. On examining me the doctor declared me unfit to work and advised me to go home as soon as possible as the diagnosis showed enlaged tumors on my right thigh, stomach and around the chest. Once I arrived in Mumbai the company Doctor referred me to doctors at Nanavati Hospital and doctors advised me to undergo Open Biopsy to remove one of the tumors and send it for testing. After doing this the test result showed that I had Non Hodgkins Lyphoma, cancer of Lymphatic system or Lymph nodes. Futher test showed that the disease was active and had to be treated with Chemotheraphy and combination of another drug. Meantime my wife's cousin Nestor and his family in Mumbai whom God has ordained to be with us in all times of our trial, was constantly ministering to us the Word of the Lord and praying for us. Before leaving Mumbai Nestor had given us Pastor Robin's VCD which we watched at home and saw the great works God had used him for and hoped that such a Miracle would happen in our life. After three weeks we came to Mumbai for the next cycle and before starting the cycle Nestor was with us and he said "Lets call all Pastors to pray for you". When we got Pastor Robin on the phone, he prayed and made time for us and called us to meet him before we left for Goa. We were an hour late but he was waiting for us. He prayed, laying his hand on me and I felt chill in my forearms and calves. After 3 cycles, we had to undergo a Pet CT Scan the findings to Scan showed that the disease was no more active and was existing only in one gland on my right thigh. Pastor Robin said, " God does not leave any work He has started incomplete." We claimed it and our hope and faith became stronger. After Six Cycles of Chemotheraphy we underwent Scan again and findings showed the disease was no more in my body. I was healed of cancer! All Glory and praise to Jesus! We came to the hotel and went on our knees and thanked God and praised him for his wonderful and mighty work. As we all know, such treatments cost a lot of money. This is how God provided for me. I was on the ship only for 2 months till I came back home unfit for duty and had not even finished my 3 months Probation period. I was on my first contract with them. But my company bore the cost of the total treatment including medicines, air travel expense for me and my wife and hotel accomodation in Mumbai. I thank God for the Miraculous healing! I pray to God to bless Pastor Robin, fill and equip him more and more and use him mightily to carry out Gods mighty Wonderous works and overflow of the Gifts of The Holy Spirit. God Bless PASTOR ROBIN ALMEIDA.
Thanking You,

TESTIMONY
SUHASINI CHAVAN
My daughter Sejal who is two and a half years old, was born physically abnormal. At 8 months, she was unable to move her limbs and her body remained absolutely stiff, periodically going into sudden tremors. My husband Subhash and I took her to a specialist. We had to get a CT scan done and separate tests for sight hearing and speech. She had brain damage, defect in the arteries of the heart and damage to the optical nerve. We could not afford the expensive treatment that was recommended and so decided to just put our faith in God. We began praying and performing pujas at different places. We did this for a long time, but Sejal remained the same.
One day, one of our neighbors offered to take us to Pastor Robin Almeida’s prayer service. There we came to know about Jesus and became regular attendees. Very soon, we found a marked improvement in Sejal. I’ve been attending the services for almost a year, always carrying Sejal with me. She is gradually recovering and is now able to move all her limbs freely, can crawl, sit, hold things in her hands and put food into her mouth. She can also stand with support, understands everything and is a very happy child. Her sight too is improving. Thank you Jesus!

HE CLEANSED ME
I was lying in the bin of sin,
There came a man, tall and thin.
He gave me his sacred hand
And helped me to stand.
Jesus was his name, he said,
The one who had risen from the dead.
He took me in his arms
And showed me his palms,
The wounds caused by the tails
Of the big blunt nails.
He said to me, “My beloved son,
Now rejoice and tell everyone
That your sins are forgiven
By your Father in Heaven,
By the blood that I shed for you
And for your fellowmen too.
I am the God for you and for all.
With me, my child, you will never fall.

Pastor Robin Almeida produced a CD/cassette of 8 songs in Hindi entitled “Pyare Masiha”, words and music composed by him. It was such a big hit that later a remixed version was produced specially for youth, with English prayer commentary before each song – voice of Pastor Robin. His cousin Denzil D’Sa did the remix in New York. The singers were: Anthony Raj, Sangeeta Awle, D.P.Thapa, Jaisy Soni, Hareesh Paul, Pastor Robin Almeida and Julius Caesar.
Pastor Robin has written and composed songs for another Hindi CD/VCD which will be entitled “Yeshu Ka Deewana”. Anyone interested in sharing in the blessings of this new production, may contact the following mobile no.: 9224360050.

TESTIMONY
CATHERINE JAIN
My husband Raju was an alcoholic of around 15 years and my son Rakesh was a drug addict. I also have a daughter Deepali who was a student at that time and I was the only working member of our family earning a very small salary. Seeing my terrible plight, my brother-in-law introduced me to Pastor Robin Almeida’s prayer service.
On the very first day I felt the powerful presence of the Lord Jesus and felt a sense of peace and confidence. Later, my daughter and I met Pastor Robin who prayed with us and assured us that my husband would soon come to the prayer service and be delivered from alcoholism. After just over a week, Raju happened to be passing Pastor’s office and hearing the sound of the exuberant singing and clapping, was drawn to enter. He was delivered from alcohol at the first prayer service that he attended and became a regular worshipper at the church. Subsequently, Raju, Deepali and I got water baptized and we began to earnestly pray for my son Rakesh. One day, Pastor Robin prophetically announced that Rakesh would be delivered from drugs and would serve the Lord in the ministry. That is exactly what happened. The Word of the Lord from Acts 16:31 came true in our lives.
Acts 16:31 – “So they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.’ "

TESTIMONY
DEEPAK PAGARE
Due to an operation and my left leg being in a plaster cast soon after my birth in 1977, my left leg was always three and a half inches shorter than my right. I wore a shoe with a special heel to make up for the imbalance.
One day, a friend took me to Pastor Robin's Service. I was very impressed with what I saw and made an appointment to meet Pastor Robin at his office. While he prayed over me there, I fell to the floor. I was unaware that I had remained there for one and a half hours! During this time, I heard someone tell me to stretch my leg which I kept doing. Later I learnt that no one in the room had spoken! I also felt waves of light pass over my face and could not open my eyes even though I tried. When I was eventually able to stand up after an hour and a half, I found that both my legs were level! Praise God! I can now wear normal shoes. My family and I are now faithful followers of Jesus and are ever grateful to Him!
