There were many new people who came this Sunday and the hall was so full that many people had to stand. God worked mightily through Pastor Robin. Many were delivered from evil spirits and at the end there were a large number of people who came up to testify to having been healed, even some who had come for the first time. One of the most remarkable testimonies was that of Mr. Sham Kahar who had completely lost sight in his left eye. On the previous Sunday he had come up to testify that when Pastor Robin Almeida had prayed over the entire congregation for healing of various parts of the body, he had fully regained his sight. This Sunday, at Pastor Robin’s request, he had brought his medical reports of the diagnosis and ex-ray pictures of his eye. The report showed that he had a torn retina that bled and caused his eye to become completely bloodshot, after which he had lost all vision in it. When Pastor Robin held up the ex-ray, everyone saw the pictures of his bleeding eye. We were all amazed! Pastor then asked him to block the other eye with his hand and then tested the authenticity of his healing by asking him to count the number of fingers he was holding up and name the colors of various objects he pointed to. It was clear that his healing was complete. Praise the Lord! Everyone applauded thunderously and praised Jesus for this mighty miracle.
Another notable miracle was that of a 14 year old boy who had been suffering from a skin allergy for the past ten years. On the previous Sunday Pastor Robin had announced that someone with an itchy skin problem had been healed. This Sunday this boy came up to testify that his ten-year old allergy had disappeared. Praise the Lord!
The entire Service has been caught on camera and will be telecast at Navi Mumbai on Friday under the program name “Pyare Masiha”. It will also be telecast on “New Hope” T.V. on Friday at 9.30 p.m. Those who watched “Big J” T.V. on Tuesday will already have seen it.

EXCERPTS FROM PASTOR ROBIN'S TEACHING
GOD’S VOICE
It is not merely by our faith that we are able to follow the life journey God has planned for us, but it is by listening to His Voice.
There are many examples in the Bible of God’s Voice telling people of His mighty and at times unusual plans for their lives. Biblical events often demonstrate that God loves to break His own natural laws to show that He is supreme. No one can walk on water, but Jesus did. No one can just rise up into the sky, but Jesus did. Even regarding his people, when He wants something done in their lives, He just goes ahead and does it, surpassing all human thought restrictions! Some Biblical examples are as follows:
God spoke to Zacharias through the Angel Gabriel, telling him that his wife Elizabeth would bear a son and that they were to name him John. Both being beyond the ages of productivity, he did not readily believe God. For this, God caused him to be mute until the time of John’s birth.
God spoke to Mary through the Angel Gabriel, telling her that she was to be the virgin mother of His Son. In her simplicity, she questioned the angel, but did not disbelieve God’s power and authority. It happened to her according to God’s Word.
God also spoke to Joseph (to whom she was engaged to be married), through an angel, revealing to him the mystery of her conception.
God spoke to the three wise men who followed the star to Bethlehem, instructing them not to return to Herod.
God spoke to Cornelius (Acts 10) telling him to send for Peter. God also spoke to Peter telling him to go with the men whom Cornelius had sent to get him.
God spoke to Elijah (1Kings) telling him to go to Zarephath and meet a widow who would provide him with food. God also spoke to the widow about Elijah. On reaching the place where God sent him, he saw a woman gathering sticks. He knew in his spirit that it was the widow and spoke to her.
When we are attentive to God’s Voice and always obey it even though it may be contrary to our own logical plans or way of thinking, we find ourselves at the right place at the right time. When God has a plan for our lives that involves another person, He speaks to that person as well. Praise the Lord!

OUR MINISTRY
The ministry of THE MASTER’S TOUCH HEALING CENTER is best described in Isaiah chapter 53, verse 5, that says “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.” When we speak about healing, we refer to a three-dimensional healing of spirit, mind and body. Mark chapter 2, verses 1-12, describes the healing of the paralyzed man who was lowered through the roof by his four friends and landed right before Jesus. Verse 5 says, “When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, ‘Son, your sins are forgiven you.” By calling him ‘Son’, Jesus healed his mind, restoring His relationship with the man. By forgiving his sins, Jesus healed his spirit. When He said in verse 11, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed and go your way to your house,” Jesus healed his body. All 3 aspects of our person are dependent on each other and therefore, complete healing has to touch all three levels. Praise The Lord!

LOVE AND HAPPINESS
In our last article, we said that God is perfectly happy because He is LIGHT and in Him there is no darkness. There is complete TRUTH in God. Complete light and truth enables God to love in perfection. That’s why we say that God is LOVE.
We human beings are all born in darkness and inherit the LIE (sin) in its variety of forms. The pure, unconditional, selfless love that gives us perfect happiness and which God intended us to have when He created us in His own image and likeness, was stolen away by Satan. That’s why human love is always conditional, self-seeking, need based and often brings pain and tears. Because we human beings lost contact with God due to sin, we create our own gods and fall into idol worship. We may even seek to quench the longing of our hearts for God in a person whom we idolize. People often marry on this basis and sooner than later, experience disappointment, dissatisfaction and frustration.
God our Father, in a supreme act of pure, sacrificial love, gave His only begotten Son as a sacrifice for us. Jesus, in a pure act of sacrificial obedience to His Father, loved us and gave Himself up for us, to bring us back to God’s original plan and purpose for our lives. What was the power behind God’s ability to make this supreme sacrifice? It was the emotional fulfillment that He constantly experiences in Himself because the Love between the Father and the Son exists in complete light and truth. It is so powerful, that it generates a third person in God, the Holy Spirit, Christ. It is this constant emotional high of pure love in God that generates God’s powerful, energy-packed activity of creation and supreme control over everything that exists. This love (a constant emotional high with His Father) was the power in Jesus that enabled Him to perform the miracles He did and finally to endure the kind of suffering and death He went through for us. With this same power, God raised Him up in triumph and glory!
It is only when, through the Blood of Jesus, we get back into fellowship with God our Father and His Son Jesus Christ, that we can truly love as God loves and enjoy true fellowship with one another. (Read 1Jn.1: 3-4). The pure, unconditional, sacrificial love that we inherit as “sons of God” enables us to give and receive true love from each other that adds up to the fullness of joy that John speaks about (1Jn.1: 5). When he commands us to love one another (1Jn. 2:8), he is actually telling us that we have the ability to do this “because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.” The lie (sin or darkness) from our minds is passing away because of Jesus the true light!
When we come across commands in the Bible given by The Father, His Son Jesus Christ or chosen and appointed men of God like John, we are not expected to obey that command on our own strength of will. That in fact is impossible. A Divine command is always an invitation to enter into the fellowship of God, the only position in which obedience to Him is possible. Apart from Him, we live in the dark. Darkness, as we explained in our earlier article, means the absence of truth or lies running in our minds that give birth to hatred. This situation is described in 1Jn. 2: 9-14. Hatred is actually a result of unforgiveness or fear that could be so deep rooted that it may be difficult to recognize, but causes much suffering and also ill health of mind and body. John says that there is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. He who fears has not been made perfect in love (1Jn. 4:18)
Jesus, who alone is perfect love, can cast away the darkness and fear in us and bring us back to the ability to love as God loves us. 1Jn. 4:19 says, ”We love Him, because He first loved us.” This means that it is impossible to love God without first being cleansed by the Blood of Jesus. 1Jn. 1:4 says: “And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.” Lasting happiness and joy comes from genuine fellowship first with God through the Blood of Jesus and then with our brothers and sisters in Him, in light and truth. Praise the Lord!
