Afghan Radio - Sound of Life

Learning a foreign language, especially English, is not just a skill, it is an "opportunity"; a chance to see, hear, and be in a world larger than the circle that surrounds us. For today's young Afghans, English is not a great privilege, but a vital need. In a situation where many of us are deprived of education, work, travel, or even dreaming, language can be a bridge to meaning, connection, and hope. Language is a tool for freeing the mind. Language is a platform for flight; even if you don't have wings. Learning a language requires practise, repetition, and patience. A young person who learns a language is actually training themselves to be disciplined, persistent, and purposeful. Learning foreign women broadens our horizons and we get to know different cultures.

When bad things happen, people ask questions like: Why did this happen? Why is our country so damaged? Why did this happen to me and my people? Is there hope for the future? What I am about to tell you now can give you hope. It will answer some of these questions. There is someone who has the answers. He is the God who created the heavens and the earth. When God wanted people on earth to know Him, He sent Jesus to earth. Jesus came and healed many people of their diseases. He performed many miracles. So that people would understand. Difficult things can happen to us at any time. Whether it is an earthquake, a storm, a famine, a disease, or any other problem, God wants us to realise our basic need. He wants us to return to Him. He wants us to repent and receive His love and mercy. He wants us to know Him. He wants us to find purpose in our lives.

Forgetting issues does not bring forgiveness and healing. We should not hide our wounds and suffering, but rather walk with the grace and help of God to receive complete healing. Healing forgiveness is not a slogan, but a practical action. A wounded person is always in an internal war with his mind and is always busy with time. If you are involved in such internal and mental wars, ask yourself, who am I talking to? Because the person you are fighting with is not present; you are not crazy to talk to yourself! Is it with God? No. You may be surprised, yes, it is the evil spirit or, as the saying goes, an unseen demon! He is the one who attacks your mind, takes possession of you and makes you anxious. So what is the solution? Believe in Jesus Christ and be free from the chains that have bound you; so that healing can flow through you by faith. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

When we do not forgive, we behave badly towards our loved ones, which is not approved by God. When we do not forgive, we actually destroy the love of the God of love. When we do not forgive, our conscience becomes deaf and a violent spirit appears in us. It is by forgiving that people are freed; like the slave who was freed by the grace and mercy of his master. When I do not want to forgive! Our cry of unforgiveness reaches God's ears through others. When we do not forgive, we become ungrateful people and forget God's forgiveness and grace. When we do not forgive, we surrender ourselves to spiritual executioners, who are indeed evil spirits and forces of darkness, and we jeopardise our salvation and freedom. As the Lord Jesus said, forgive your brother from the bottom of your heart. Dear fellow countryman, we realise where the root of many of our bonds and pains comes from; because we have not forgiven our brother and sister from the bottom of our hearts and do not forgive their sins. Forgive so that you may be forgiven by God!

How can I forgive? We forgive to be healed. We forgive not because the other person did the right thing, but because we want to be righteous and just. We forgive to become like our Lord Jesus Christ. We forgive so that our relationship with God can be renewed and every obstacle in our way can be removed. When we forgive, we close the door to the forces of evil. When we forgive, healing flows from God to our body and spirit. So Jesus Christ taught Peter and the disciples how to forgive those who hurt us and wound us. Each of us is a debtor to God; and we must free ourselves from this debt. But how can we! By believing in Jesus, repenting and asking for forgiveness from Him, we can be forgiven by God. We see the mote in the eye of others more quickly; but we cannot see the beam in our own eye. Forgive so that you may be forgiven.

People sometimes mistakenly think that a forgiving person is weak and cowardly; in reality, a person who has a forgiving heart and forgives is not weak but the strongest person. We cannot forgive someone from the heart without the Holy Spirit until we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. You will hurt people even if you don't want to; this will be done against your will. So let the balm of the Holy Spirit heal your wounds and injuries. Even parents who are wounded and not healed; pass the wounds on to their children. Unforgiveness was inherited from Cain to all of humanity, and similarly from wounded parents, hatred and revenge are passed on to their children. So we must forgive in order to win.

When Jesus cried out, Father, forgive them, who did He mean? Those who did not know what they had done? Yes, there were those who mocked Him; those who slapped Him, wounded Him, and left Him. The cry of forgiveness of Jesus Christ was heard from the cross of Golgotha; from there it began to the ends of the earth, and finally this forgiveness reached our days, including me, you Afghans. If you believe in Jesus Christ. Think that we also crucified Him and we were also among the people about whom Jesus Christ said: Forgive them, for they know not what they do. So today is the day of salvation, healing, and complete freedom for me and you, freely available through faith in Jesus Christ. Otherwise, you will be under the judgement of God.

Humans work and receive wages for that work. When we commit sin, we will receive the wages of our actions, which is death. But eternal life and salvation cannot be earned by works. So God will not give us salvation as a reward for good works. Salvation and eternal life are provided by God’s forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ, who is the only way to salvation for all people in the world, and we should not ignore salvation. Each of us deserves eternal separation from God. Every sin we have committed, whether rape, murder, adultery, theft, selfishness, gossiping, envy, lying, not loving others enough, etc., we all deserve punishment. But the good news is that Jesus Christ, who was fully God; He was without sin, was crucified in the form of a sinner. He never sinned, he became sin in our place, so that you and I could be accepted before God through Christ.

Jesus told them that the Holy Spirit would come and teach them what was necessary. The Holy Spirit would guide them into all truth and tell them about future events. This is an important way to test whether we are truly led by the Holy Spirit in a particular task or not. Dear listener, how can you understand the Word of God and know the truth when you do not know and do not have the Holy Spirit? I was your friend, the Holy Spirit will be your friend. I was your guide, the Holy Spirit will be your guide. I was the source of everything for you, the Holy Spirit will be the source of everything for you. I was your helper, the Holy Spirit will be your helper. I was your comforter, the Holy Spirit will be your comforter. The Holy Spirit wrote the Holy Bible, the Holy Spirit not only wrote the Word of God, but Himself, who is the interpreter of the Word of God, dwells in us and gives us light to understand the Word of God. This is the vital and eternal work of the Holy Spirit. He opens the meaning of God's Word to us.

The issue of guilt and conscience among young people is an important and complex issue. Young people face many pressures at this time of their lives and may easily experience sins and have conscience. Misuse of technology and media, the influence of the environment and friends, and social pressures may be factors that lead young people to sin. Conscience can have negative effects on the spirit and psyche of young people. They may experience feelings of self-loathing, anxiety, depression, and loss of self-confidence. Therefore, it is important for young people to evaluate and understand the effects of sins and conscience on their spirit, and to look for ways to change their behaviour.

Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. When Christ came, the kingdom of God also came to earth. The kingdom of God is present in the lives of everyone who believes in Christ. That is why Christ preached: “The kingdom of God is near.” But on the other hand, the kingdom of God has not yet fully come. Satan still rules this world. He is the ruler of this world. Most people are still imprisoned in the realm of Satan’s rule, in the realm of darkness. Therefore, we need to pray that God will enter the lives of more people and that more people will be saved from Satan’s realm and enter the kingdom of God. At the same time, we need to pray that the kingdom of God will fully come, that is, that Christ will return and destroy Satan.

God does not discriminate between people. Nationality, skin colour, age or gender, rich or poor, friends and enemies are all the same to Him and He forgives everyone's sins. In true forgiveness, there should be no difference between people, whether we forgive someone or not. Jesus Christ actually nailed the document that was against us to the cross. With His forgiveness, God nullified the sins of people and the handwriting that Satan had against them. Jesus Christ, as a wounded man on the cross, asked for forgiveness for all those who had wounded Him. You too, by crying out to the Father for those who have wounded you, ask for forgiveness in prayer and by doing so, erase and nullify all the documents and writings you have against them. We were reminded of the bitter and heavy stories of unforgiveness that our fellow countrymen kept in the depths of their hearts for years. So let us allow God Himself to free and heal us from the deadly wound.

Prayer is direct communication between a person and God-verbal and heart-to-heart. Prayer can include worship, thanksgiving for blessings, and petitions for needs. The activity of prayer goes beyond the repetition of predetermined phrases. It is a sincere conversation between a child and his heavenly Father. The church draws closer and more intimate in prayer. Through prayer, fellowship and love develop in the church. Since the church is the gathering of believers, let us not forget to pray for a stable and strong church.

God's forgiveness is not limited like human forgiveness, but is very vast. Just as the east is far from the west, God's forgiveness also puts a distance between us and our sins and keeps us away from our sins. A person who is angry at sunrise and calms down at sunset must be calm because we are children of the God of light and justice and we must shine the rays of His forgiveness from the east and continue to the west. God forgives and looks at man with a fatherly gaze, so we see people through the lens of His eyes and forgive them like a father. So that healing can flow into our wounded being and heart. A person who forgives does not hold grudges. Our forgiveness should be like God and be buried in the depths of the sea. Because forgiveness is so heavy and precious that it drags sin to the depths and buries it there. When God forgives a person, He does not set any conditions for him. Jesus has only one condition, and that is repentance and turning to the true and true God.

Why do we Christians call God Father? Because Jesus Christ taught us through His Word to call Him “Heavenly Father” when we pray. We Christians also believe that by accepting Christ as our Saviour, we enter into the family of God and experience Him not only as our Creator but also as our loving and caring Father. One of the reasons we call God our Heavenly Father is that Jesus Christ teaches us through His Word to call God Father when we pray. Having God as our adopted Father is only made possible through Jesus Christ.

The heart of the father is a source of forgiveness, one of the most prominent characteristics of fatherhood is forgiveness. If a person does not know about the heart of the father, he cannot forgive. Whenever someone knows the heart of the father, he is filled with his love and is able to forgive, and in it, he is free and liberated from the wounds. Forgive those who have wounded you in the presence of God, just as Mrs. Eneli, who killed her husband and two children, forgave her enemies after a while. In the Gospel of Luke, there is a story about a lost son who lost a sheep and a lost coin, which a woman cannot find without a lighted lamp and without light. We see the lost son who, surprisingly, no one is looking for him!! Because the father's forgiving heart beats for him, he brings him home. What are you, are you lost? Are you willing to forgive someone who has hurt you from the bottom of your heart?

When you are hurt, to whom and to whom do you cry out? Jesus Christ taught us one thing: to cry out to our Heavenly Father when we are hurt, to pray, and to forgive. The Father's heart is the key to healing our wounds and pains. We humans are usually easily discouraged and suffer, which is why the hearts of billions of people are wounded. Suffering and pain have roots in the past and occupy the depths of our hearts and thoughts, and when we remember them every day, they warm our feelings. Hannah, the mother of the prophet Samuel, when she was hurt and wounded, only knew one place and one person, and that was the Lord with whom she shared. So let us join with the prophet David who said: Evening and morning and at noon I will complain and moan, and he will hear my voice.

Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. For God has also forgiven us what was unforgivable. Dear fellow countryman, forgiveness is a healing balm that must be applied to our wounds to heal them. People who are wounded and hurt, speak evil, and show hatred and grudges, their words are stinging and poisonous, and their words and speech are unpleasant. But the most wounded man in the world, Jesus Christ, was nailed to the cross, but he did not complain, but instead he forgave. Because he came to our world for this forgiveness and was crucified.

The Holy Bible consists of 66 books, written by more than 40 people under the inspiration of the Spirit of God. These people came from different walks of life. For example: kings (David and Solomon), a military officer (Joshua), a doctor (Luke), fishermen (Peter, James, and John), a tax collector (Matthew), a cupbearer to the king of Persia (Nehemiah), etc. It was written over more than 1,600 years, and it includes books about history, law, prophecy, poetry, proverbs, and songs. The Holy Bible was written on three continents: Asia, Africa, and Europe; and in three different languages: Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.

Jesus Christ used parables to convey deep spiritual concepts to his disciples and his audience in a way that was concrete and understandable. Parables were a powerful tool for explaining teaching. Parables could convey truth in the guise of a story while keeping this truth hidden from those who sought to distort or deny it. Parables could encourage listeners to think about the deeper meaning of spiritual messages. Parables made complex concepts understandable using simple stories and analogies.
