이 동영상을 보면서 눈물이 많이 났습니다. 온유 자매님의 삶 속에서의 그 고백과 감사는 도대체 어디서부터 나오는 것일까요? 자매님의 얼굴이 천사처럼 빛나는 이유는 무엇일까요? 자매님의 하나님 앞에서의 소원이 이루어지길 기도합니다. 자매님의 삶을 통해 많은 사람들이 도전받고 주께 돌아오게 될 것입니다. 축복합니다.
9개월동안 말레이시아에서 성경을 공부하면서 난 참 친한 친구를 만났다. 자신을 로버트라고 소개한 Robert. 맞지도 않는 영어를 써가며 나는 그와함께 교실에서 토론도 해 가며 하나님을 알아가는 것이 얼마나 기쁨이 되는가에 대해서 나누었다. 말씀안의 교제라는 것은 그렇다. 무언가 다른 일을 하진 않아도 그렇게 말씀 안에, 하나님 안에 정이 들어간다.
그 로버트가 한국에 왔다. 토요일날 저녁을 먹으면서, 말레이시아에서 내가 말레이시아를 떠날 때 작별인사를 하고 돌아와서 울었다고 그랬다. 갑자기 눈물이 났다고... 그 로버트를 다신 못 볼 줄 알았는데, 우린 한국에서 만났다.

주님이 우리에게 서로 격려하며 말씀하실 것이 있었다. 그것은 바로 하나님의 은혜의 복음이었다. 둘다 요새 가지고 있던 생각이 정확하게 같았다. 하나님의 은혜의 복음. 그 말을 둘다 하면서 얼마나 감격하고 하나님께 영광을 돌리게 되었는지...
그렇다... 우린 하나님의 은혜의 복음을 증거하기 위해 서로의 장소에서 살고 있는 것이다. 그 하나님의 사랑, 은혜... 비록 앞으로 볼 수 없을지라도 주님의 나라에 갈 때까지 분명한 우리 가운데 신뢰는, 하나님의 은혜의 복음을 각자 있는 곳에서 증거하는 것이다.
로버트를 숙소로 데려다 주며 혼자 재워야 하는 마음 아픔이 있었다. 토요일 밤에는 눈물이 안 났는데, 오늘 집에와서 갑자기 눈물이 나려고 한다.
요새 웬일인지 몰라도 그냥 힘이 납니다. 그리고 사람들을 향한 사랑들이 싹트기 시작합니다. 저의 개인적인 상황이나 여건이 좋아지거나 그런 것은 절대 아닙니다. 기숙사 계단을 오르면서 불현듯 왜 이렇게 힘이 나는 것일까? 라는 생각을 해 보게 되었습니다. 그때 스치듯 지나가는 생각은 저를 위해 사람들이 기도해 주시고 있구나 이런 생각이 들었죠.
기도에 대해 다시 생각해 보고 있었습니다. 과연 기도가 무엇일까요?
오늘 하루 동안 인터넷을 통해 우연히 삶을 나눈 사람들이 한결같이 해 준 이야기가 기도에 관한 것이었습니다.
하나님은 그 기도를 저에게 가르쳐 주고 싶으셨나 봅니다.
어느 한 분이 기도란 단순한 대화 이상을 넘어서 나를 향한 능력과 보호막이라고 말씀해 주시더군요.
그 이야기를 듣는 순간 저는 참 많은 것을 느꼈습니다. 기도는 관계를 의미하기도 하지만, 단순히 관계 이상이 아닌 하나님의 능력으로 나를 덮고 세상을 덮는 힘이라는 것을요.
이전에도 이런 이야기들을 들어 왔지만 새삼스럽게 많이 느껴지고 다가오는 것은 아마도 주님께서 저에게 기도의 이 속성을 실제적으로 가르쳐 줄 적절한 시기인 것 같습니다.
잠시 기도를 했습니다. 하나님의 능력으로 무너진 곳을 보수하고, 하나님의 도우심을 구해 봅니다.
하나님! 우리 가운데 주의 능력으로 덮으시고 세상의 무너진 것들을 회복시키시고 아픔과 절망과 죽음의 고통으로부터 희망과 기쁨과 생명이 넘치게 하여 주세요.

On June 2007 one family kiled a 4 days new born girl baby and hide infrond of the home, The neighbors asked them where your baby is. They told she died because of sick, we hide in the earth yesterday night, but the people understand that they killed the baby, whoever someone informed to the police, the next day morning police came to the house and asked the parents where you hide the baby, how she died? They gave some complicated answers; police didn’t believe, arrested the husband and asked him what you did for the baby?
Then he told the truth, just newly they marriage, they were expecting a boy baby, but they got a girl baby, in his family no one like girl baby, if they care this baby brings lots of financial expensive when she grow, also she is curse to their family, so they tried to kill as soon as she born, but in the hospital many people was watching them, the 3rd day they discharge from the hospital and came to home, then they were discussing that what should do this baby and how we can kill! They tried put in the dustbin, some people was sitting there so they couldn’t do that, then they used different method,
In the midnight they give "poison to the baby", after 20 minutes baby died, then they dig in the earth and hide in front of the home. Her mother only gave the poison to the baby, she don’t like girl baby, (You see them in the picture, first one is baby’s Mother SELVI, second one is baby’sFather VADIVELand the third one is baby’s Grandmother OCHAMMAL)
Next day morning when people ask us we gave wrong information; we don’t know who inform to the police, what a terrible thing! Police arrested three of them and put them in jail, they release baby’s mother, because only 6 days back she had delivery, after 2 weeks again arrest her and put in jail.

Greetings in Jesus name, hope you all doing well, this is our privilege to let you know that we saved one more girl baby’s life, “Praise the Lord”
As you well know we are saving newborn girl babies from the death, some district people of Tamil Nadu, killing their girl babies as soon as born, they believe that the girl baby is curse to their family, previously we saved “Four girl babies” yesterday we got one more lovely girl, now we have 5 babies.
Great Story about this new Baby:
From 20th to 23 of June 2007 I was in a baby murdering village called “Andipatty” 95% of the village people are Hindu, most of the people are killing their girl babies, no one can ask them why! We got this 5 th baby in the same village.
When I preach with them, In Jesus name I rebuke and notify very boldly, baby murdering is a sin as well as against the law, if you kill a baby government will punish you, sometime you can hide from government, but you can’t hide from God, always he is watching you, all the children belongs to God. More than 65 people was listening me, end of the meeting one family invite us to their home and treat with some tea and snacks, they told: most of this village people don’t like girl babies, every month we can see many babies dying, your sharing was very useful to us, from today I will talk to the people when they trying to kill the baby. Really I was so happy from them and return to my home. I leave my mobile number with them.
The same day night one family had a girl baby, according to their belief, if a girl baby born within June 17 to July 17, it not fit to their family and God, (read more) in Tamil that month call Aady, last year we got two babies in the same month (Grace and Angeline) both are doing well and growing fast “Praise the Lord” by the way, this couple was thinking to kill the baby, wife told: already we have two girls, so we no need one more girl, also this baby born in “Aady” month, we kill her, but her husband told: before I come to the hospital one man came to our village and preached the baby murdering is sin, if you don’t want girl baby give to us, but do not kill, we can give to him, both decided and the next day morning the husband came to family where we had tea and snacks, he told we want to give our baby to that man who preached yesterday evening “Praise the Lord” that family called me and told everything,
After I come from the meeting, I had some dysentery, I was really sick, because too much travel without rest, Kumari also so busy with other 4 babies and really tired, we do not know what do! I asked him a favor, can you bring the baby to us for this time only, we are in very terrible situation, he told after an hour call me back, really we was praying and waiting for his phone call, as he told he called and told: we can’t bring in by bus or train, that is very hard, even we can’t get it, we hire a car and bring baby, you have to pay the bill, I agree and told them to hire a car and bring the baby safely, yesterday afternoon they reached our home with the baby, we paid 7,000 for car bill and paid 2,000 to that family, we value this precious baby more than money, she is so beauty and good health, just today we brought her to the hospital for the general checkup, she is alright.
We want to save many more babies lives like this, we urge you to keep us in your prayer, we have lots of financial needs, God has to strengthen our financial status. Thanks for spent to your valuable time to go through this large mail, looking forward to hear from you…
일단은 어떤 신학적인 견해도 배제하면서 글을 쓰고자 한다. 위의 모습은 내가 *국에 있을 때의 예배 모습이다. 이 지역은 인도의 타밀지역 사람들이 많이 사는데, 알다시피 인도사람들은 힌두교적 생활에 익숙한 사람들이다. 힌두교라는 것이 종교적인 면에 많이 초점을 맞춘 것일 수도 있지만, 인도 사람들의 문화적 삶을 지칭하는 요소도 포함하고 있다. 종교라는 것이 그것을 믿고 안 믿고를 떠나서 그 나라 사람들에게 문화적으로 영향을 미쳐 생활적 측면에서 종교적 요소들을 찾아볼 수 있는 것이다. 힌두사람들에게 복음을 전하고, 하나님께 예배드릴 때, 그들의 문화적인 삶의 방식을 전혀 고려하지 않고 우리의 생각이나 방법대로 하는 것은 어떻게 보면 폭력이나 마찬가지이다. 이런 부분들은 미국이나 유럽에 초점을 맞춘 사람들이 다른 나라 사람들을 그보다 하위 단계의 지도받아야 할 대상으로 여기고 접근하는 정복적 방법과 비슷하다.
내가 이 예배에 참여했을 때, 위의 분은 성찬식을 야자(코코넛)열매
로 하셨다. 야자 열매 밑에다가 흰 대접을 갖다놓고, 야자열매를 들어 보여주며 이것은 주께서 우리를 위해 흘리신 보혈입니다.라고 이야기하면서 망치로 열매 중간을 탁 때렸다. 그랬더니 열매가 반으로 갈라지더니 그 안에 있던 물이 팍 쏟아져 나왔다. 이 모습에서 느껴졌던 것이 예수 그리스도가 우리를 위해 피흘리신 그 모습이다. 창으로 옆구리를 찔리셨을 때, 피가 흘러나왔던 그 모습이었다.
야자 열매 안 속에는 하얀 살이 있었다. 그 살을 떼어 주면서, 이것은 그리스도의 몸입니다.라고 말하였다.
머릿속으로 한 번 위의 장면들을 상상해 보시면 좋을 듯 싶네요. 어떤 생각이 드십니까? ^^;;;
If you were (or are) paralyzed today and given a choice between complete physical healing or complete spiritual freedom, what would you choose?
As you all know, Jan has had an attack from her MS that has effected her eyesight and made it difficult for her to walk. It has continued long enough for us to stop and ask God, "What is the root of this?" We're not asking about the physical cause of MS, because nobody on earth knows that one. We're asking, what inside do we need to deal with first?
We've spent several days reading through a book that is packed full of scripture and the basis for biblical freedom in our lives titled "Foundations for Biblical Freedom". The other day, after we had read several sections that hit Jan head-on, we spent an hour or more praying through and releasing lots of "stuff". As we were praying, the story came to mind of the paralytic who was lowered through the roof for Jesus to heal. I felt like we had just gone through a similar experience, but I also felt like we understood more now.
You all remember the story in Mark 2 where friends of a man lowered him through a roof in order to get him close enough to be healed. They were all desperate for physical healing. Jesus said, "Your sins are forgiven." It doesn't say this in the Bible, but I believe the paralyzed man began to cry. Why? Because at that moment he felt a tremendous burden lifted from his back and a peace that he had never known before.
Jan came to this point last week. After spending hours reading and praying, she said that she felt just like the guy in the movie 'The Mission' when he finally had all of his burdens cut lose from him and cast down the ravine. Yes, she cried a lot. She is seeking Christ for physical healing, but the spiritual healing is a first step and is amazing!
As Jesus had forgiven the sins of the paralytic, his tears could have easily been misunderstood as sorrow. Here's a guy who wants to walk and Jesus ONLY forgives his sins (as if that is not enough!). The people in the room were perhaps even thinking, "How mean of Jesus to torture this guy. He obviously wants to walk." What they didn't know was at that moment this crying man was actually flying!
The cool part of all this is that God doesn't give us the choice that I posed at the start. He offers us a much better option; we can be healed inside and out or remain in bondage inside and out. We're continuing down the route that makes sense. Jan is experiencing a lot of inner healing right now.
