Ministry of the Word to Karnal

Since the time the Lord burdened me to visit Haryana, I had a brother in mind who once purchased a good number of ministry books for his congregation. In fact, he called me once or twice for the ministry books, and he became a contact point in Karnal. As we visited him this time, I had a strong feeling within me that we should be visiting him and staying with him on the Lord's Day. That was the inner leading. For, we could actually stay in places like Ambala, Kurukshetra, or other cities, but the Lord's inward leading was that on the Lord's day, we must be with this brother in Karnal.

When we met this brother, he invited us to join their leader's meeting on a Saturday morning where we introduced the ministry literature. But after that, we went to Ambala and then to Kurukshetra. Due to time constraints, we thought to stay back at Kurukshetra, but the Lord did not give us peace for some reason. So, almost at midnight, we arrived at Karnal, our brother's place, and stayed in their meeting hall.

On the Lord's Day morning, while we had fellowship over breakfast we got to learn our brother's testimony of how the Lord led him to not involve with many things, including ritualist practices of Christianity. Since 2012, he stopped all the common practices of Christianity as a religion and set apart himself to serve the Lord in the purest way he felt best. When we visited him on the Lord's Day, which happened to be Easter Sunday which he stopped celebrating, we were fully open to the Lord for whatever he would like to do.

After breakfast, this brother came and requested me to share the word of God on the Lord's Day meeting. He further said that he never invited any brothers to ever share the word in his congregation since he came out of Christianity in 2012. But that day morning, he testified that the Holy Spirit told him to invite us to minister the word in his congregation. Therefore, a brother and I coordinated to minister on the need for eating, drinking, and breathing the Lord for our normal Christian life.

After the meeting, the brothers and his family gave us love-feast and testified that they all enjoyed the Lord's timely speaking. Then this brother, placed order for all the ministry books in Hindi, the Holy Bible Recovery Verison, and also HWMRs for the whole congregation o use.

Then I became very clear why the Lord gave me such a feeling to spend the Lord's day in Karnal with this brother and not any other place. This brother has a network of serving ones all over Haryana. He and his group are practicing the little truth that they know, and he has the burden to gradually teach all the believers in his network to practice the Christian life as he understood from the bible.

I do believe the Lord will soon recover this brother and the groups meeting with him. So that one day, there will be a rich harvest all over Haryana.

May the Lord bless this brother and all the believers and serving ones with him. May the Lord give them the spirit of wisdom and revelation as they read the ministry literature to see the vision of God's economy concerning Christ and the church so that one day, the local churches be raised up among all these villagers under his shepherding care.

Lord, raise up and gain the church in Karnal!
