Rama was a powerful witch doctor renowned for his “magical” abilities to cure the sick. People traveled long distances for his services, and his fame grew with every success . . . until one day everything changed. His wife whom he loved very much got sick, and despite his best potions and incantations, fell into a coma. He couldn’t understand it. Normally he could cure anyone he pleased, but this time something was different. People always turned to him for help, but who would help him now? Rama had always enjoyed listening to the radio, and now, in his time of desperate need, he remembered the words from a program he’d recently heard: “There is a God in heaven who can solve every problem you face in life. He loves you, and is ready to help if you ask Him.” Could this be true? He hadn’t paid much attention to the message then, but now a ray of hope began to burn in his heart. As he walked to the market in yet another search for help, the impression to pray to the God of the radio grew strong in his heart. Unable to resist any longer, he knelt among the trees of the forest, and for the first time in his life he offered up a simple but heartfelt prayer: “Oh God, if you truly exist, please heal my wife. If you do, I promise that my family and I will dedicate all our prayers to you. I also promise to cleanse my life of the evil magic I have practiced for so long.” When he returned home that afternoon after a fruitless search at the market, he found his wife’s bed empty. Alarmed and fearing the worst, he quickly searched the house, but she wasn’t there. What had happened? And where could she possibly be? Watch this video for the conclusion of this amazing story. It proves once again that God is still in the business of miracles, and His love reaches even “the least of these” in the farthest corners of the world. Yours in the Blessed Hope, Duane McKey

One In the Spirit
I am sure that you have friends that no matter how long you are apart from them, once you get together, your friendship resumes right where it left off, as though you had never been apart. This may sound weird, but maybe in one dimension you never were apart! We have physical dimensions such as time and space, but have you ever thought that there is another dimension we can be in that is not bound by time or space? To me, that dimension is the spiritual dimension.
I believe the reason many of our Christian friendships take up right where they left off, even after long periods of no physical contact, is that we have actually been together the whole time “in the Spirit!” Why do those friendships take up right where they left off as though no time has passed by? Because we are in communion with the great “ I AM”. With God there is no time. He is in one eternal Now. He is not the “I was” or “ I will be”, He is the I AM. Same with space, The Holy Spirit is everywhere. The Holy Spirit is with our Christian friends, so if we are in the Spirit and our friends are in the Spirit ,then we are together.
1 John 4:8 tells us God is love. Romans 5:5 tells us God’s love is shed abroad in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost. God is not just the source of genuine love, He is genuine love. Therefore, all the love we receive from our friends actually comes from the Holy Spirit. Therefore, when I left my friends in Texas and went to Florida and made new friends there, I still received the exact same love I had in Texas, because all love originates from God.
Love does not come form human beings. We can not generate love; all we can do is let the Holy Spirit’s love flow through us. Therefore, the love I receive from people half-way across the world is the same exact love I receive from the people I live with right here. It all comes from God. As long as we have God’s love, we can’t miss a friend’s love, because the only love they gave us came from God and He is still with us!
I am so thankful for all my friends with whom I can share God’s love! Thank you all, who are my friends on Sabbath School Net, as well as my offline friends, for being a part of my life. I hope God has been able to love you through me as we worship Him in Spirit.
