The Spirit’s Leading in the Ministry Literature Journey in North India

The Lord has been moving in India and as a serving one, I have been simply following the Lord's move in introducing and distributing the ministry of the word to whoever and wherever the Lord leads. The report of such one ministry journey in North India was requested by the brothers and was published as The Leading of the Spirit in the Ministry Literature Journey in North India (lsm.org). The one I drafted is below. 

May the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ continue to work in the being of all those who have heard and received this ministry. 

And when they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia,

yet the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them. And bypassing Mysia, they came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul during the night: A certain man, a Macedonian, was standing and entreating him and saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us. And when he had seen the vision, we immediately endeavored to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to announce the gospel to them. Acts 16:7-10

The literature service in India has been translating the ministry books into twelve Indian languages, out of which, Hindi is the most spoken and read all over North India. The serving ones have been traveling for the introduction and distribution of Hindi ministry books to all the Hindi speaking states.  

The Lord has been moving in the northern part of India where the majority of the populace are yet to receive the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Nonetheless, among the minorities who have believed into the Lord Jesus, in many states even lower than 1%, the Lord has His remnants reserved for His testimony. And to this scattered handful, the Spirit led the brothers in the recent past.

The brothers’ initial plan was to go to Uttar Pradesh, yet the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them. Instead, they changed their plan at the last minute and went to Haryana. Then, they realized it was the Lord’s specific leading at this time for this state. As they followed the Spirit’s leading locality by locality, they witnessed and enjoyed what the Lord had already prepared; leading them to meet the right people at the right place at the right time to whom they could introduce and distribute the ministry literature and also minister the timely word of God. Though they set out to visit only six cities from 8 to 12 September, the Lord led them to fourteen localities! This was the fulfillment of the “Macedonian (Haryanvi-Punjabi, the languages spoken by the local seekers) Call” in Acts 16:7-10 they received on the 8^th of September before they set out for this ministry journey.

One of the key Pastors they met previously and had purchased the entire set of ministry books in Hindi had gathered together the key Christian leaders in his locality. Since he appreciated the truth so much, he himself promoted the ministry books to other Christian leaders. The brothers then conducted a mini-conference for all these leaders and presented the truth using the ministry books. The key Pastor himself made arrangements for such meetings in a few other localities as well, opening more new doors for the spread of the ministry!

In another town, the President of the Pastors’ Association and a group of key Christian leaders with their spouses came together to listen to what the brothers had to say. The brothers followed the burden released in the recent training and released the high-peak truth, God becoming man to make man God in life and nature but not in the Godhead. The Christian leaders all marveled at this simple yet basic truth in the Bible and wondered how this had been hidden from them for so many years. They were so nourished with the truth that they received the free ministry books and also purchased the title books. They even requested a revisit as they wanted more Christian leaders and believers to hear what they had just heard. One among them, a Pastor, was so impressed by the ministry books that he purchased the entire set of Hindi books. Though he could hardly read English, after listening to the brothers’ introduction of the Holy Bible Recovery Version, he still purchased it as he could not wait for the Hindi New Testament Recovery Version. Likewise, many Hindi seekers requested for the Hindi translation of the Recovery Version.

A group of Christian leaders in a locality were so eager to read the ministry books in Hindi after it was introduced to them. They were so glad that the truth had finally been brought to them as they acknowledged that apart from the Bible there was no good Christian literature in Hindi.

In another city, three key Pastors met with the brothers and enquired what was “this ministry,” as there were many other “ministries” already spreading, including cult and heretical groups. The brothers simply presented the truth in a way of introducing the ministry books and the Holy Bible Recovery Version. They all marveled at the depth of the truth in the ministry. Though the brothers planned to move to another city, they requested them to stay overnight, giving more time for fellowship. One of the Pastors who gave hospitality testified that through the brothers’ visitation God had visited his family as He visited Abraham with three men in Genesis 18:2.

In another town, as the brothers visited a group whose Pastor invited them on the Lord’s Day, his mother testified of the vision she saw on the 7^th of September during her prayer time that three men in white dress would visit them. On the 10^th of September, when they met them, she immediately declared to the entire congregation that the Lord had fulfilled the vision she saw a few days ago. Therefore, even before the brothers introduced themselves or the ministry, they blindly invited them to minister the word to their congregation on the Lord’s Day meeting. The Lord gave the brothers the timely word as they showed them the way to breathe, drink, and eat the Lord!

As the brothers revisited a Pastor in another city whom they met on their previous trip, he testified of the new light he saw as he read the Holy Bible Recovery Version with the footnotes, especially on the church. He even requested for an online training to make the truth known to all his coworkers serving in North India.

The Lord specifically led the brothers step by step to meet with His seekers. Most of them were visited and the ministry books introduced and distributed for the first time. The Lord’s testimony is yet to be raised up in all these localities. Praise the Lord!

North India Seekers Conference and Blending

September 15-17, 2023

Thirty-three seeking believers from seven states of North India who were met through the Hindi ministry literature distribution over the past few years and who have been in contact were invited for a seekers’ conference and blending in Delhi and Gurugram.  This conference was primarily to open up the word of God to the seeking believers and provide an opportunity for these ones to see the practical church life.

The book The Application of the Interpretation of the New Jerusalem to the Seeking Believers was used for this conference with a group of brothers coordinated together to share the word. This was followed by the reading of the ministry portion in groups, and then sharing by the seekers. A number of seekers testified that for the first time they realized the New Jerusalem is not a physical city but an organic constitution of the processed Triune God mingled with His regenerated believers. The seekers also participated in the church life in the place of their hospitality. Through the blending with the saints in the church life, it afforded the opportunity for the seeking ones to see a corporate living by a group of saints as a testimony in that city.

Please remember in prayer the Lord’s continual move in North India, especially for those who have received the ministry book so that the Lord may enlighten them to see what the economy of the mystery is and gain them fully, even unto the raising of His testimony in their respective localities in the coming days.
