&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"&gt;There is no problem in the world but the one which has it's own solution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"&gt;It is not a problem if there is not solution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"&gt;If it is a problem it got a solution&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"&gt;If God has given you the seed of the solution the problem will look for you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"&gt;If the seed of the solution is in you the problem will come to you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"&gt;No problem has ever come until the solution was born.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Problems always gravitate towards their solutions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;h2 style="font-family: monospace;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"&gt;Problem arise and gravitate towards their solution&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"&gt;There is no problem but the one whose solution was born before it ever existed&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;So the problems that come to you are bread for you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; white-space: normal;"&gt;There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: -webkit-auto; white-space: normal;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: -webkit-auto; white-space: normal;"&gt;
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, “now that you can see the world, will you marry me?”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: -webkit-auto; white-space: normal;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: -webkit-auto; white-space: normal;"&gt;
The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind too, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: -webkit-auto; white-space: normal;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; white-space: normal;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;“Just take care of my eyes dear.”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; white-space: normal;"&gt;

This is how human brain changes when the status changed. Only few remember what life was before, and who's always been there even in the most painful situations.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: -webkit-auto; white-space: normal;"&gt;

Never take someone for granted, Hold&amp;nbsp;every&amp;nbsp;person close to your Heart because you might wake up one day and realise that you have lost a diamond while you were busy collecting stones&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: -webkit-auto; white-space: normal;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: -webkit-auto; white-space: normal;"&gt;
You learn to love, not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Some people reason&lt;/b&gt;, It's better to stay in a bad situation rather than risk making a change and winding up in a spot that's even worse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;While other people said&lt;/b&gt;, when you think it is wiser to deal with someone familiar, although you do not like them, than to deal with someone who you do not know, who might be worse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Still other people reason&lt;/b&gt;, it is often better to deal with something you are familiar with and know, even if they are not ideal, than take a risk with an unknown thing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;If you keep to the past you will never influence those you got in the future ...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I am beautiful…because I accept my flaws….&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I am a lover…. because I have felt hate….&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I am fearless….because I have been afraid….&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I am wise…because I have been foolish….&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AND I can laugh….because I’ve known sadness…”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the way, someone said: “Why do people have donkeys if not to ride on them?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The old man put his son on the back of the donkey. They carried on with their journey. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soon someone else remarked: “look at the young boy, He is making his old father do all the walking.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ykT2RTUBLE8/Trr7hYo1ymI/AAAAAAAAAy8/Y7eBuRoOfyI/s1600/carry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ykT2RTUBLE8/Trr7hYo1ymI/AAAAAAAAAy8/Y7eBuRoOfyI/s1600/carry.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it was the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Arial;"&gt;son&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;’s turn to descend and the father’s opportunity to ride the donkey.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was not long before another person on the way commented: “Look at the father. He is sitting comfortably while his own &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Arial;"&gt;son&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt; suffers.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, they both sat together on the donkey.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;All was well till someone remarked: “Shame on them for overloading the poor donkey.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This comment really embarrassed them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;So they decided to tie the legs of the donkey and carry it. But when the people saw this, they began to laugh.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, the toughtest thing to do is to keep people happy.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;Everyone is unique.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;They have different ideas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;There is just no way that you can keep everyone satisfied&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;A long time ago I had a dream, in that dream, I saw two big passenger ships come sailing in.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Suddenly, I saw passengers from the ship which was behind being transferred to the ship in front of them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Then, I saw the first ship at full capacity and people therein were having a good conversation with one another.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;I looked behind and saw the other ship being empty but following the ship in front.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;THE END&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
There was a man who was drowning, and a boat came, and the man on the boat said "Do you need help?" and the man said "God will save me".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then another boat came and he tried to help him, but he said "God will save me", then he drowned and went to Heaven.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then the man told God, "God, why didn't you save me?" and God said "I sent you two boats, you dummy!"&lt;br /&gt;

But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Is there such a thing as darkness?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Professor:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt; Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Student :&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Professor:&lt;/b&gt; So what is the point you are making, young man ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Student :&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Professor:&lt;/b&gt; Flawed ? Can you explain how?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Student :&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.&lt;br /&gt;Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Professor:&lt;/b&gt; If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Student :&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;i&gt;The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going&lt;/i&gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;The class was in uproar&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Student :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;The class broke out into laughter.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt; )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Student :&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The link between man &amp;amp; GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rxfKwVkcFE4/Tz8Ff98nIoI/AAAAAAAABPI/mB75PVoRV98/s1600/1320833432.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rxfKwVkcFE4/Tz8Ff98nIoI/AAAAAAAABPI/mB75PVoRV98/s1600/1320833432.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Years ago I preached in Zaire. At the close of the sermon, one of the team members said to me, “Reinhard, you should meet a local pastor from one of the churches...He’s someone special.”&lt;br /&gt;
I knew instantly that I had seen the man before, but I could not recall the incident. He rushed across the distance between us and threw himself to the ground, wrapping his arms tightly around my legs. “Bonnke,” he cried, “I am here because of you. You saved my life.” He brought himself up and looked at me, tears streaming from his wonderful eyes. He said one word to me, and then I knew him, “Bukavu.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Going to the forgotten towns&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
My memory rushed back. It was twelve years since I saw him. “Richard...the last time I saw you, you could not speak English, you did not have a gold tooth and you were filthy.” I took his arms and pushed up the sleeves of his fine maroon suit coat and saw the evidence I remembered most. Yes, this was the same man. And now tears spilled from my eyes...&lt;br /&gt;
In the late 1980s, one of our crusade scouting teams searched the back roads of the far eastern Congo. As they came near to the border with Rwanda, they discovered Bukavu, a place with 500 000 citizens who had never seen an evangelistic crusade.&lt;br /&gt;
“No-one comes here to Bukavu” my scouting guide Stephen said. “We will see tremendous results. It will be glorious.” In 1989, I flew there to preach. The next day, I asked to be driven around the city to see the people I would preach to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Cruel punishment for prisoners&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It was simply a cage for humans near the edge of the city. There were no cells, just a large brick room with a prison yard attached, surrounded by razor wire. “What are those people doing outside of the prison yard?” I asked. “Those are the prisoners’ family members. If they don’t feed the men, they will die of starvation. The government makes no provision for feeding men they intend to kill.”&lt;br /&gt;
“All these prisoners will die?” I asked. “Yes, all of those ones you see in shackles are condemned to die. Every month, a hangman comes from Kinshasa...The condemned men are all brought out to the tree and a rope is thrown over the big branch with a hangman’s noose tied to the end. The people of the city are invited to watch, and many do. For some, it is the local horror show.&lt;br /&gt;
When the man is cut down, the hangman hacks off his hands and feet with an axe so that the shackles can be removed. Unless the family comes to claim it, the body is tossed onto a cart, and dumped in a grave. There is no lock, when a condemned man is brought here, he is taken to a blacksmith shed over there. His shackles are welded shut on his arms and legs.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Appalling conditions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“The men receive horrible burns. It is part of the punishment. The empty shackles taken from a dead man are opened up with a cutting torch and prepared for the next condemned man. And on it goes. Many of the men die from infections as a result of being burned.”&lt;br /&gt;
“But, there is good news,” Stephen offered. “I’ve been visiting here and several of the condemned men have accepted Jesus.” We got out of the car. Immediately, a strange sound came to my ears. It was the rhythmic jangle of chains mingled with the chant of male African voices. “Hear that?” Stephen asked, with a knowing smile. “Those are your brothers.&lt;br /&gt;
They are singing songs of praise to Jesus. Songs we taught them. They are using the only musical instruments they have.” “Their chains,” I whispered, with realisation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;A word from the Holy Spirit&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I was appalled by the conditions in the cell. The men slept on filthy mattresses; the place was crawling with vermin. Flies swarmed over them. Yet the men continued to praise with the jangle of chains. Their leader was a man of average build with a big smile and a missing front tooth. The minute I saw him, the Holy Spirit spoke to me, “Tell that man he will be set free.”&lt;br /&gt;
“Lord, pardon me, but it would be cruel and unusual to say anything if I heard You wrongly just now.” I said. “Tell that man he will be set free,” I heard again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Condemned men praising God&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We were introduced to the group of condemned men. I gave the whole group a salvation sermon through the interpreter. A few of them responded, accepting Jesus for the first time. Then I turned to Stephen, “tell that man who was leading the singing that I would like to speak to him in private.” It was an honour to shake Richard’s shackled hand. “Tell Richard that the Lord has spoken to me today. The Lord says that he will be set free.” The interpreter hesitated. I nodded.&lt;br /&gt;
“Repeat my words exactly,” I said. Richard reacted, looking away toward the hanging tree. When he looked back at me, his eyes had filled with tears. He spoke through the interpreter. “Three times I have waited in line. Three times the hangman grew too tired to hang me. The last time he was here, I was the next man to die. The hangman glared at me like he wanted to see me dead. Then he threw up his hands and went home.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Trying to set the captive free&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“Jesus preserved you, Richard,” I said. “And now He says you will be set free. What is your crime, Richard? What are you guilty of?” “Murder.” He answered. “You do not look like a murderer. How did it happen?” “We were in a bar, and a fight started.” He explained. “Did you start the fight?” I asked. “I did not. But I did kill the man.”&lt;br /&gt;
“Richard, if what you say is true, we do not call that murder. It is called self-defence. Did you have a lawyer?” Richard paused for a long time. He looked away at the tree again and said nothing. Then the interpreter spoke. “If a man you kill in self-defence is from a wealthy family, Reverend Bonnke, there are many in Bukavu willing to swear testimony for money.”&lt;br /&gt;
We left prison and I never saw Richard again. As I prepared to leave, I asked Stephen to arrange one more meeting for me with a local politician. When we arrived at the politician’s mansion we were ushered into a waiting area. We were kept waiting for a long time. Finally a secretary emerged and told us that the politician I wished to see was not available. Instead of seeing him, we would be allowed to meet briefly with his wife.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Pleading for justice&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I had come to plead for the release of Richard. I described him to her, and I recited his story of the crime for which he was sentenced to die. I suggested to her that a competent lawyer would surely have made a case for self-defence. At least a good lawyer would have found a way to avoid the death penalty for Richard. Then I told her of Richard’s conversion, and of the way he led the singing among the condemned men in the prison. She listened carefully to all that I said.&lt;br /&gt;
Then she stood and excused herself. She said that she would see about what could be done, but condemned prisoners were never released from Bukavu prison once the courts had spoken. After another long time of waiting, she returned, she asked that all of the other guests be removed from the room. At last it was just the two of us. She stood before me very close. “Reverend Bonnke,” she said, quietly.&lt;br /&gt;
“You are a very powerful man from Germany. Your organisation is large, and your following is wide. You want my husband to do something for you. I would like you to do something for me. Do you understand?”&lt;br /&gt;
“Certainly,” I said, “I will do whatever I can.” “Do you have children, Reverend Bonnke?” “Yes, I do.” I replied, puzzled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Leaving with a heavy heart&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;“I have two children preparing to attend university. Here, we have only the National University of Zaire. My children have not been able to get the necessary scholarships to the school we would choose abroad. I would like you to provide those scholarships, Reverend Bonnke.”&lt;br /&gt;
I was saddened, though not truly surprised. In a land where money could buy a death sentence, surely a bribe could obtain freedom. “I am sorry,” I said, “but this, I cannot do. I am a man of God. I will not strike a bargain to obtain justice of any kind. My answer to you must be no.” The woman instantly whirled to leave the room. I feared greatly for Richard. As she reached for the door, I nearly shouted her name. She stopped and looked back at me for one moment.&lt;br /&gt;
I pointed my finger at her. “God has told me that Richard will be released. God has spoken. Do not stand in His way.”&lt;br /&gt;
I left Bukavu with a heavy heart. I feared that I had left Richard as I had found him, a dead man walking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;A life redeemed&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Two years passed. I was in Germany when someone reported to me that Richard had been set free. I shouted with joy to hear of it. To this day, I do not know what happened, or what triggered his release. I only know that all the glory belongs to our Father in Heaven.&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Richard began a new life as a free man in Bukavu. He told the pastor of the local church where he attended that he wanted to go to Bible College in Kenya.&lt;br /&gt;
He wanted to become a pastor, and he was determined to learn to speak English. When word of this got back to me – well, that was one scholarship I was more than willing to provide. Christ for all Nations paid for Richard’s expenses through Bible College. Years later, I heard the news of his ordinations. I sent him my best wishes and congratulations, and that seemed a fitting end to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;God watches over His Word&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Twelve years later, in August of 2001, he stood before me in Kinshasa, a sponsoring pastor for a Christ for all Nations Crusade. He was wearing his maroon double-breasted suit, speaking English, his gold tooth shining, his eyes bright with the joy of the Lord.&lt;br /&gt;
We embraced again. I can tell you, this evangelist slept so very well that night. Two long years of waiting passed in this story before I learned about its happy ending. How did I handle it in the meantime? &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;I have learned that when we speak the word that God has whispered in our hearts, we don’t have to handle it – He does&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. The Scripture says that He watches over His Word to perform it, so we can rest easy.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;It&amp;nbsp;doesn't&amp;nbsp;matter if want to be a lawyer, a doctor, a school teacher,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;1.&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;You got to have
a passion for something&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings;"&gt;Ø&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;once you've found
that passion;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings;"&gt;Ø&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;ask yourself&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;
2.&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Do I have the
strength to endure the challenge of becoming whoever I want to become&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings;"&gt;b&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;if you can answer yes
to that question then move on to&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings;"&gt;z&lt;/span&gt;3&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
3.&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Do you have an
attitude to become it&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;i&lt;/span&gt;4 and final question&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;
4.&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Are you committed to
achieve it&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start="4" type="1"&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Those are the four ingredients that Lord Jesus Christ himself directed
me to answer&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;and I found out, all because I listened to Jesus Christ&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;that not only ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings; text-indent: -24px;"&gt;h &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Did I have the desire to become the very best of me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings; text-indent: -24px;"&gt;u&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;I did have the strength&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings; text-indent: -24px;"&gt;l&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-indent: -24px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;I do have the strength&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings; text-indent: -24px;"&gt;n&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-indent: -24px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;and always will have the strength to endure the challenge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Wingdings; text-indent: -24px;"&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-indent: -24px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;The attitude to become it and the commitment to achieve it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OR9KwOZfWWU/Tzmo-gG8NhI/AAAAAAAABOE/Qo5jkiLfTs4/s1600/deliverance-release-from-bondage-demons.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OR9KwOZfWWU/Tzmo-gG8NhI/AAAAAAAABOE/Qo5jkiLfTs4/s1600/deliverance-release-from-bondage-demons.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Steve Foss presents an argument that Satan uses two main demonic forces which power all of life’s demons: insecurity and inferiority. It is from these two main powers that spring forth greed, drugs, lust, violence, hatred, etcetera.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iVzmKHtZiN0/TzmpkoBweLI/AAAAAAAABOM/9ZNPfG0dShk/s1600/images+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iVzmKHtZiN0/TzmpkoBweLI/AAAAAAAABOM/9ZNPfG0dShk/s1600/images+(1).jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Garden of Eden, Satan was able to use the two to cause Eve to sin. By causing her to doubt God thereby doubting the world as she knew it, Satan introduced insecurity. By telling her God did not want her to eat of the tree of knowledge because God did not want Eve to become as smart as He, Satan introduced inferiority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Nt9gNfr8LcU/Tzmqu1TdB1I/AAAAAAAABOU/L_jqgAPMsYk/s1600/images+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Nt9gNfr8LcU/Tzmqu1TdB1I/AAAAAAAABOU/L_jqgAPMsYk/s1600/images+(2).jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There’s a lot of parents right now wondering, why is my teen acting up so much? Insecurity and inferiority. Why did they join a gang? Because they felt insecure and inferior. So what does a gang give them? A sense of false security and a sense of value. I’m a Crypt. I’m a Blood. I’m a this. I’m a that. Why do they get a part of this extreme group, gothic or punk, or whatever? Because they’re trying to get a sense of value, a belonging. They’re trying to shore up any insecurity or inferiority that is rooted in the lack of the revelation of who God has made them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TVJs8BMeksQ/TzmrQSahybI/AAAAAAAABOk/TGt3wrTBIsM/s1600/images+(4).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TVJs8BMeksQ/TzmrQSahybI/AAAAAAAABOk/TGt3wrTBIsM/s1600/images+(4).jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It affects every part of life, you know. It’s the root of why marriages fall apart. It’s because, and the fighting that occurs. The wife doesn’t feel like the husband values her. What is she feeling? Insecure. She’s feeling inferior. See, when we stand in a place that we are secure in our relationship with God and we are secure and valuable in our, because of who He has made us, we no longer need other people to provide that for us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iy9IsePFKOw/TsfKtD_zqPI/AAAAAAAAA8s/4iqZjOwCVDY/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iy9IsePFKOw/TsfKtD_zqPI/AAAAAAAAA8s/4iqZjOwCVDY/s1600/1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortcomings are like dark spots in the heart. And just like you, and just like everyone else, I have my share of dark spots on my heart. I fight these spots everyday... I fight them in thoughts, in words, and in deeds, because I aspire that, at the very most, I cleanse my heart completely of them, or at the very least, I stop the spot from spreading and widening its darkening veil across my heart. Some of these battles of the heart I win and some others, sadly, I lose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-en7e82knLtQ/TsfK5hqiMLI/AAAAAAAAA88/F4lIgNkvois/s1600/praying.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-en7e82knLtQ/TsfK5hqiMLI/AAAAAAAAA88/F4lIgNkvois/s200/praying.jpg" width="149" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;But still, everyday, I keep praying, fighting, defending my sanity and piety.&lt;br /&gt;
It's a difficult, tiring task because of the constancy of the recurrence of these fights... and sometimes, I just wonder if God is ever going to hear my heart calling for help. Help to be freed from the influence and effects of these unrighteous spots. I am not asking to be made a saint... or am I? Is it really too much to ask to be free from unrighteousness? Is it beyond my place to ask to be made godly in my mind, body, and soul?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only Him has the capacity to give or to take, to bring or to break, and I know that whether this sounds real or fake, it is truly only by His permission that good or evil comes upon us (let's stop giving "Satan - the accursed enemy" so much credit). As such, only Him that does as He Pleases understands why he has given me these "dark" spots, only Him understands why I have to fight these battles in my heart and why I have to fight them day after day, and only Him knows why my prayers to be free from them seems to have gone unanswered. Either way, since it seems like they will never go away - not completely, or not all of them, I wonder why I keep fighting? For how long will God watch me do this before He comes to my rescue? Will He ever come to my rescue (it's been ages now)? Or perhaps, this is what He wants for me - to let go, accept my spots and leave them be and do whatever?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. Absolutely not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E-_Le-OkBmg/TsfLePwSajI/AAAAAAAAA9M/kN9XIM_bQII/s1600/tom+and+jerry.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E-_Le-OkBmg/TsfLePwSajI/AAAAAAAAA9M/kN9XIM_bQII/s1600/tom+and+jerry.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Absolutely not because I remember who He is. He is True, He is Pure, He is Faithful, and He never fails. I remember that though He is The One Who Does as Suits or Pleases Him, The Unquestionable, He is still the same Merciful and Loving One who is filled and fills with Love, Mercy and Grace. I remember all that He has been to me, all He is to me, and all He will be to me, and then I feel His blessed reassurance coming over me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is this remembrance of His Grace and Love that increases my trust in Him. Because I am assured of His Love, whatever comes to me in life, outside or within my body, I know He brings or allows to come to me for my own good. These battles are possibly meant to make me better, or to cleanse me eventually, or to make me stronger, or perhaps they are a lesser evil to deal with than something possibly worse that He's warded off my path! I know this. I TRUST Him with every ounce of my existence. And so, this gives me the strength to keep on fighting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And what if He never takes them all away?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

And if the spots are still there or keep coming, then I will keep fighting and believing that by His Grace and out of His unending love, I will win each battle, because I am confident of His words never to overburden us beyond our capacity to bear, and He is a God who never turns back on His words. And so I know, that this is a battle that I can surely overcome; the struggle between good and evil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most important of life’s battles is the one we fight daily in the silent chambers of the soul. - David O.&amp;nbsp;McKay&lt;br /&gt;
