Pastor Robin preached on the passage from John 20: 19-22, in which John tells us that Jesus showd Himself to His disciples on the evening of His Resurrection as they were gathered together behind closed doors for fear of the Jews. Jesus stood in their midst and said, "Peace be to you." The disciples must have been stunned! But they were sure it was Jesus only when He showed them the wound marks on His hands and side. The passage says,"Then the disciples were glad..."
Pastor Robin said that it is easy for us to wish others peace. Anyone can do that. People will recognize the Lord in us only when we show them our former wounds. Behind what people now see as glory, there is a story! People may try to immitate Pastor Robin in his style of preaching and teaching. But no one can immitate the wounds that are behind the power and glory of Jesus that he now displays. Jesus forms and trains his people in secret, away from the view of others. That's why a real person of God cannot be immitated. Pastor Robin spoke of the long and terrible suffering that Pastor Benny Hinn had been put through by his own family. Behind every glory, there is a story!
If we are now experiencing hardships and suffering, it can only mean that the Lord is preparing us for greater service in His Kingdom! Before babies are born into the world, they are formed in the darkness of the womb. Seeds are sown into the darkness of the earth and must remain in darkness until it is time to shoot up into daylight as glorious new plants. Pastor Robin encouraged everyone to stand firm in the face of suffering and to wait in hope for the day of glory. Praise the Lord!

SICKNESS
Elaborating on Mark 5:25 ff, on Sunday May 1st, Pastor Robin said that God created everything good and positive. He definitely did not create sickness. Sickness came into the world from Hell! So when we accept the salvation of Jesus and get back into the Kingdom of God, we cannot be sick unless we choose to believe the lies that Satan keeps telling us. We should fix our minds on the TRUTH that JESUS has freed and delivered us from all sickness, every curse and every bondage. PRAISE THE LORD!

SUNDAY 1st MAY SERVICE
On Sunday, May 1st, Pastor Robin preached on Mark 5:25 ff, about a woman who had suffered from a flow blood for 12 years and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she bypassed the laws of her tradition and despite her extreme weakness, pushed her way through the crowd and came behind Jesus. She had planned to not even let Him know what she was doing and accordingly, touched the hem of His garment. The bleeding stopped immediately and she felt in her body that she was healed. But Jesus felt the power go out of Him and immediately inquired who had touched Him. After she had told Him the whole truth, He praised her faith saying, “Daughter your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed of your affliction.”
Pastor noted that we could be bleeding not only on a physical level, but also in our minds, not knowing where the wound really is. We could have been wounded even in early childhood. Addressing the congregation, Pastor said, “Just like the woman heard about Jesus after 12 long years of suffering, you may have come here because someone told you about Jesus perhaps after you have suffered for a long time. But you have come to the right place, not by accident, but because Jesus has called you here.”
After elaborating on the passage and drawing many practical points from it, Pastor invited everyone to reach out their hands and to touch Jesus by faith while he prayed for healing of various sicknesses. As he received a ‘word of knowledge’ from the Lord, he announced specific healings that had taken place. Many experienced their problems disappear, even among the 24 new comers. Many wanted to testify at the end, but due to a time constraint, Pastor invited testimonies only from the new or fairly recent comers.
TESTIMONIES
Sangeetha Jadhav had been on medication for weakness for the last 8 years, but to no avail. She began attending our services 5 Sundays ago. Her symptoms of weakness had completely disappeared. Praise the Lord! Another woman who also suffered from long-standing physical weakness came up to testify that she now feels well and strong. This was the 4th Sunday she had attended.
Laxmi Desai is bedridden with paralysis. Her daughter had come to the service twice with a problem of tiredness and severe pain in her right knee. The pain had disappeared during the service and the tiredness gone. Her sister also came up weeping uncontrollably at how much they had suffered because of their mother’s illness. Pastor prayed with the 2 sisters for Laxmi’s healing, joined by the whole congregation who stretched out their hands towards them. We are now awaiting a great testimony!
Sandhya Jadhav from Chembur had come to the service for the 1st time. She had been suffering from bleeding for the past two years, accompanied by much pain. At this service, the bleeding had stopped and the pain had disappeared.
Another person, suffering from back pain for 13 years had been taking a lot of medication, but found no relief. As Pastor prayed that evening, the pain left him.
Victoria and another woman too had been suffering from a lot of tension. They both experienced the gift of peace.
Alvaro Baretto who came for the first time was healed of a long-standing back pain. He had also been experiencing relationship problems, but now felt a great sense of peace.
A small child whose eye was bleeding when his mother brought him to the service, was touched by Jesus in a mighty way. The bleeding stopped and it could be seen that the eye was completely healed. Praise the Lord!

REPORT OF 24TH APRIL SERVICE
The theme of this service was FREEDOM. After Pastor Robin's preaching on Luke23:44 to Luke 24:12, he prayed for healing on all levels, physical, emotional and deliverance. Later on, there were many testimonies of blessings and miracles that people had received, even among the 23 new comers attending the service for the first time. There were testimonies of physical healing, of people who were blessed with peace after having suffered emotional turmoil for a long time and many people were delivered from evil spirits.
The most remarkable healing reported was by a couple who came up on stage carrying their three month old baby. The baby had been born with an irreparable hole in her heart and given only 30 days to survive. Soon after getting this terrible news, Pastor Robin had been contacted and he prayed for the child's complete healing. Now, three months later, even the doctors were amazed at how she had survived this long! Pastor carried her in his arms, showed her to the congregation and prayed for protection for the rest of her life. Everyone cheered and praised the Lord!

REPORT OF SUNDAY17th SERVICE
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!
