Doctor Couple

As the gospel move is going on, we just cooperated with the Lord's move by always abiding in the Lord. The recent training on The Vine in John 15 has a deep impact on me. First, my eyes were opened to see that I am a branch, just "a branch in the Vine", as such my sole responsibility is to just abide in the Vine. As a result of this abiding, the riches from the Vine will supply me and overflow through me to bear remaining fruits.

As the preaching of the gospel of the Kingdom of God began, I personally took care of this matter of abiding in the Lord. In this abiding is rest, joy and peace; there is no struggling nor straining. Based on this experience and enjoyment of abiding in the Lord, I fellowshiped with my fellows branches that "preaching the gospel is by enjoyment of Christ; not by human effort of planning, scheming and struggling." And as branches we enjoyed abiding in the Vine by our corporate living and went out by teams, door-knocking, and the result is wonderful.

In particular, a brother and I planned to go to a place. But since we were new, we could not locate the right locality we intended to door-knock. So we kept driving until we found a parking spot. Then we went door-knocking, house by house, street by street. Many local gentiles listen to our gospel, the gospel of Jesus Christ, and some even called on the Name of the Lord and believed and received the Lord! As we went on and on this way, our final knocking was a surprise warm door.

Initially a lady responded to our door-knocking and spoke to us as stranger. However, as we  preached the gospel she welcomed us in. Then the Spirit move was very intensified within us and we preached the Word more boldly. To our pleasant surprise, we discovered that this lady has been seeking for God and even for a miracle to happen as confirmation of the so called "god" she believed into. Indeed, later, a mysterious miracle happened and the miracle was, we met her, preached the gospel of Jesus Christ to her and she received the Lord! Further, we inquired about her family and we decided to meet her husband as well. Later, in the evening, we came again to meet her husband, and another miracle happened. He was also so seeking to know and experience this "god." We preached the gospel to both of them again and helped them to believe and receive the Lord by simple prayer of faith. As per the word of God in Mark 16:16, we explained the importance of baptism as well. The response was so good that we planned for baptism the next day, as the Lord has already prepared His chosen ones.

Following this was all a spiritual battle, I knew this would happen. So we all prayed and bound the strong man as the Body in one accord. As expected, there indeed was a tendency of postponing their baptism for very reasonable reasons. However, having learned from previous experiences, I would not budge an inch to retreat. We just went ahead as planned and started praying a victory prayer. And finally, we experienced the victory of the Lord! They both got baptised! A couple, both doctors by profession, Hallelujah!  Then we had a fellowship on the importance of breathing, eating and drinking the Lord by calling upon the Lord's Name, reading and eating the Word of God and prayer, apart from gifting the The New Testament, Recovery Version.

Praise the Lord! May the Lord gain them fully for the testimony in Guwahati.
