Contd:2 hit the U.S. at first, then began to spread to every corner of the world. Once highly booming real estate is gradually declining in all the mega cities of the world. Las Vegas, Nevada has the highest inflation in real estate before the recession hit the nation, but the real estate value began to plummet there far worse than any other place in the nation. Some people I know personally had, not a single night of perfect sleep due to their cares for adding more things to their already heaped up assets without realizing that they were hoarding for somebody else. The last part of the verse " suddenly like a trap" is shedding light about the seriousness of the issue as a prophetic fulfillment because I didn't hear from any preacher about this trapped season in which we are all caught up. In the U.S. 10 States in which natural resources are plentiful, especially the shale oil and gas production, their economy is moving forward in order but the rest are suffering.

brother joy chemabaseri: it was a very touching testimony of god's divine protection. if the readers of bj will write their testimonies of such miracles and devotional topics, the readers around the world will be greatly blessed. for most of the readers, long sermons are not needed but one small miracle took place in somebody's life in another part of the world can give a new insight and motivation for that day!



my car was a 1966 dodge dart, no seat belt and head-support in those olden days cars. two months before the accident, i stopped in a road-side to buy a small carpet piece, then i saw one head-support for the car which was white in color but the car seat was green. no matching color, but it didn't bother me. if god didn't provide me that head-support of $ 2.50 at that time, i might have been neck down paralyzed due to accident; my car hit a small wooden house and that house had serious damage. do we remember about such events in life and thank god?

correction- there will be times when god's children are surrounded by unhealthy critics, liars n backstabers, but we do know that 'god's hand' is with us- we wish believer's journal all success.

contd- 1 but soon came that layer area- the steep-down hill,i started sweating,my heartbeat went up,my blood pressure might have been peak high,i did not know how to turn the scooter nor did i know how to slow down,let alone the stopping,i am fetching for the brakes all over the scooter,i wanted to jump off the scooter and run-home without georgchan seeing me.i looked back at georghayan,he was still staring at me,thinking what went wrong.i could hear him shooting,but,for georgchan being a clam person his shooting is not loud for me either,do i have to explain more? but here comes a blessing in disguise- "the god's hand',few feet from me before the steep-down hill there was some loose sand surface on the ground,i was able to turn the handle sideways to skid and stop the vehicle even though i fell down,and with no injuries_

'believers journal'- there comes a time when god's children are surrounded my critics,liars n backstabbers-

but we do know "our god hand" is there for us

the moment in my life that scarred me to death- i was learning how to ride on a scooter and this is back in the 1970's.our family friend georgchayan had a lambretta scooter,i was trying to learn how to ride on a scooter on his scooter.georgchayan who is a very courteous and jovial person,explained to me how to maneuver a scooter.everybody who has seen a lambretta scooter knows how a lambretta scooter is- its a pretty big one for a scooter.he explained to me everything except how to apply a brake or where to find the brake pedal and i did not think about that either.so i started my scootering gathering all my assumed bravery and not showing my nervousness to georgchan in anyway.this incident was at 'kanakakunnu kottaram' grounds in trivandrum, everybody who has come to trivandrum do know this place.the kottaram ground is leveled all around the kottaram, but its leveled in layers.so when i started my scootering on level area it was fine and excellent, but soon came- contd-1

brother rajan: after learning driving, without much delay i had an accident in november 1972; a great hitting from the policeman. it was a miracle that i was not crippled by that accident. when i went to insurance agent, doug pauly said " read romans 8:28", indeed for the first time read that passage with real concentration. even though the last few months was an hurricane season for the believers journal, but romans 8:28 was quite applicable for bj, through skyrocketed readership around the world. now, let us refocus and make use of the great opportunity to have articles-comments-news etc, with the whole intention to create spiritual growth and maturity to the readers. all the best wishes and prayers.
