" Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4) "
The Apostle Paul, in the verse above, uses a special construction that stresses the fact that the new creation—the man who’s born again—has received "a newness of life." This doesn’t refer to one’s life being refreshed, reworked, reformed or renovated; it describes a new quality of life; a different kind of life—the God-life. It’s an expression that describes a supplanting of the old life (from your earthly parents), with the life in Christ; it’s a new life altogether!
When you were born again, your natural human life was not suspended; it was actually replaced with the life of God. No one can be said to be a Christian until there’s first been a supplanting of the old life with which he was born by his biological parents with the divine life of God. This is the reason we can live supernaturally in the earth (John 10:35), because being born of God, we have His life in us. This is authentic Christianity.
2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." Being a new creation isn’t just referring to a new life in terms of timing, because it just started, it particularly means a new life in terms of quality and type! You’re a new type of man.
According to the Scriptures, when Jesus died, you died with Him, When He was buried, you were buried with Him; now that He’s resurrected, you’ve also arisen with Him into a newness of life. You’ve been called into a new life of success, glory and excellence. Walk in this consciousness !

Wen love like a storm rages
and heart like a leaf flutters
Wen dreams rise on wings
and hopes take up flights
Reason lost in Insanity
Caution flies in the Winds
Legs like sea waves billow
Upon them your life follows ...
Hurt within in passions uproar
distance lose their value..
As long as i find there, you
Miles covered,harmonic lenses
Discovering the paradox in tenses !!
A Rhapsody exudes from the limits
of patience straining ...Eyes Sighing
a Lonely Tear ..Found to give you away !!
---This is something I found out in life,
Our mistakes can still be CREATED for Someone's
Good - Just Give it up to the Master Carpenter
The One from Nazareth !!

CHRISTMAS@PUNJAB
Hola Guys!!!!
Hope you Guys had a Rocking Christmas Season!!!! Incidentally mine turned out to be better than I had imagined . My Pastor invited me over to Punjab coz he happened to go for his vacations there and thought it a great idea if I tagged along !!! Now , how on earth he happened to come up with that Idea , it beats my muddled brain completely , but the fact remains PUNJAB is a ROCKING place !!!! even with ME around !!!
One of the highlights of my time there was a CAR TRIP to RANJIT SAGAR Dam somewhere up there near Pathankhot…. Imagine the fright of my life when the Car zipped past a motorcycle at over 80 km /hr and we barely missed a frightened woman
Right in the centre of the Road ..am sure that Woman saw heaven , hell and the deep sea all together in that split second ..Unfortunately friends , the pics that we had clicked remains on the Mobile Cam …Hopefully , our Friend BANKA (YES HE WAS THE DARE DEVIL of a driver) will bring it over when he comes over to Delhi.
Maybe I hope to see those guys there again for my next X-mas!!! And yes we are planning to bring the Band over to Delhi for a Jam at a Mall nearby … And on the 25 th nite Glorious Jammed late into the nite and it was a treat...After all these years I was among the youth … It was a Revitalizer of Sorts for me!!!! We had Captured that on our Digi Cam …They will be uploading it on You tube Soon !!!
And my suggestion is if you ever feel right in the pits...Pack up and go all out to Punjab!!! Since my trip was not planned, I traveled Ticket less on a Jammu Mail Sleeper Compartment that was supposed to seat 72 persons and carried well over 100 people ..Taking pity on my condition a Generous Fauji from Orissa offered me butt space on his seat which well would have belonged to the TTE, if Laloo decides to place a TTE in each and every Compartment … Coupled with the Cold Freezing Nite Journey and the liters and litres of ….you know what …people were peeing into the Railway tracks …I had much less time enjoying the Seat I was provided , and Well in all the time in between I remember praying a lot of fraud , fake pious prayers ... “ So What’s New ? ” , Says my God !!! He has a fine sense of humour I say.
In between programs I read through a biography on Sadhu Sundar Singh and seated on the verandah on that cold winter morning I fully realized what it meant to be stripped naked and thrown out of the house at nite just because the beatific Sadhu put his trust on the One that Was Crucified for him !! We fail to comprehend the extent of his sufferings sitting in our cozy couches!!! Now I realize why Jesus Loves Such as these !! They are His precious on earth!!! What a privilege!!!
The Pics from our Car Trip is Pending ..I bank all my efforts on Banka and Josh !!
