Ministry of the Word to Katra

In the city of a famous goddess shrine on a mountain top, we witnessed the multiplication of the believers in general among all the Christian groups. Despite the strict religious atmosphere engulfing the city, the Spirit's move too was intensified amidst the cloudy situation. We truly witnessed in this city Katra that God is a living and moving God. No forces one earth can ever stop Him! The stronger the opposition, the stronger the Lord's move.

We were brought by a brother to this city to visit a Christian group. Though our main purpose was for the distribution of the ministry literature, the situation turned out that we came here for the ministr of the word. When we were welcomed warmly and given the time to minster the word, my brother went first to expound the eternal plan of God. When my turn came, I intended to follow up on the same burden, but the Lord led me to minister somthing I myself found it to be a little strange. The burden the Lord gave me was to minister on 'Baptism".

Therfore, I denied my own feelng and followed the Lord's inward leading to minister the truth concerning baptism. Using all the relevant Bible verses, I ministered on the need for believing and baptism by giving seven crucial of Bible verses to prove the seven significants points of baptism. After I released the burden the Lord imparted to me, I discovered that the believers themselves were in great need of this truth concerning baptism. When the pastor of the group asked how many understood the message and how many wanted to take water baptsim, a good number of hands were raised up. I was surprised to see that the Lord knew their urgent need and led me to minister on baptism.

There were a coupl of pastors who joined the meeting too. They themselves testified that they never heard of baptism being expounded in such a  rich way. They themselves were cleared of the truth concerning baptism. The Lord knew the best and He met the timely need of the believers. Hallelujah!

This ciyt was just a day visit and we left for the next city, Jammu, after we had lunch with our host in Katra. I do believe that one day the Lord will raise up His testimony in Katra.

Lord. raise up your testimony in Katra soon!
