Flow of Life: NE Brothers

The churches in North East India has been facing persecution from religion since the very beginning of the rasing of the lampstands. Nevertheless, the Lord has been gracing the saints to grow in life gradually. Till date, a good number of local churches have been raised up and the testimony of Jesus has been much strengthened with the growth in life of the saints and their increasing enjoyment of the church life with truth constitution. The churches are the Lord's, and the Lord as the Son of Man is walking among the midst of the lampstand is shepherding them, even "trimming the burned wick."

In the last full-timers training, a brother came to fellowship with me concerning his situation and the situation of certain serving ones in the NE; how some leading brothers had certain feeling concerning him which troubled him quite much. But since he came for a brotherly fellowship I gave my audience and mentioned to him that I would bring the matter to the concerned brothers who are taking the lead in the Lord's work. The brother came again the second time and fellowshipped further certain misunderstanding that subtly crept in among the brothers, especially the full-time serving ones. As he fellowshipped  I just realized that the enemy has always been behind the scene trying to bring discord among the brothers and destroy the building work of the Lord. A few weeks later, the same brother called me again over the phone expressing his concern over the situation there. In all the three cases of fellowship, my fellowship was consistent. I told him I would bring the matter to the brothers overseeing the Lord's move in India. 

Another senior brother came and stayed with me for two nights after the full-timers training. Initially, I thought he just came to take hospitality. But later he requested for fellowship and opened up his concerns about the situation there. To this brother too, I told the same thing I told to the other brother. In all the meetings above, I prayed together with the leading brothers for the Lord to cover and heal the situation. And if the Lord leads so, perhaps, I may visit with other brothers. In both the case, I also fellowship with them concerning my feeling. The Lord is blessing his move and the enemy is trying to destroy the building work. He tried using religion and other means to stop. But he could not succeed. Now he is subtly trying to break the oneness and one accord of the brothers. But the Lord's word is:
Matthew 16:18  And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
This matter of fellowshipping with the brothers taking the lead in the Lord's move here has been pending for a couple of months. A few weeks ago, under the Lord's sovereignty, one of the brothers and I stayed together in the same room for the churches in Kerala blending conference. There we could fellowship all the points in detail and decided to visit the brothers for fellowship in the coming months. This is the flow of life that I experience in fellowship with the brothers concerning His move in NE.

The Lord's divine life will flow and heal all the situation in NE.
Ezekiel:47:8
Then said He to me, This water flows out toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah and goes to the sea; when it flows into the sea, the water of the sea is healed.
47:9   And every living creature which swarms in every place where the river goes shall live, and there will be very many fish when this water comes there. And the water of the sea shall be healed, and everything shall live wherever the river comes.
The flow of life will heal the situation and bless His testimony in NE!
