A movement to raise the status of Women in India

Both in history and in the Bible Women’s role is very important in a nation.

During the crucial period of our Lord’s visitation of India (2007 – 2014), He wants our fair sex mass play a vital role in the transformation of our nation. In order to train them up, a 12 hour training Programme is given by the Lord. KHRDC has started implementing it.

This training session covers the following subjects

• Fallen nature of women and restoration by Jesus Christ
• Building relationship
• Finance Management
• House Maintenance
• Exercising the authority of parents
• Behavioral patterns
• Common sicknesses of women and Medical checkup.
• Civic Sense

The Lord is in need of "6 filled Jars"  to accomplish His work as He did in Cana. (John 2:1-11 )

The jars should be filled with the Holy Spirit!!

The Lord will add to it colour, odour,  taste, value etc.,

People can draw wine from the jars to give taste,  strength,  love and  value to the women of the world.....!!

"" Oh Dear Covenant woman, “ARE YOU A FILLED JAR??”  If you are a WOMAN FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT the Lord is ready to make use of you to bring taste,  joy and love to the women of our Nation ""

There is an earnest search among the believers across the world for a real Church where a person can commune with God and relate to his fellow brethren. After trials and experiments the Indian Church is forming “Troop Church”.

The Army of Jesus was experimenting with the “Troop Church” for the past 17 years. Started in the year 1998. The experiment with Troop Church has been successful.

1. It has independent first line second and third line Troop Churches
2. It has raised many leaders, prophets, counselors and other ministers and gospel workers.
3. It has no visible leader or hierarchical structure
4. It has no office, no full timer, no paid worker etc.
5. No organizational (hierarchical) set up.
6. No money collection or transaction.
7. No election, board, Committee etc.
8. Every Troop Church trains up believers in their gifts like worshipping, preaching, prophecy etc.
9. Since the mother troop disperses and starts new troops after 2 months, there is no stagnancy.
10. No pollution or corruption with money or power.

11.The two wings of Troop Church are Decentralisation and Multiplication .

Last December 25th 2017, we had a meeting in our village. More than 600 members participated. We invited some faculties from Chennai to deliver message. They gave a message entitled "responsibilities of a believer”. So many instant healing happened through believers. After this meeting the believer have risen to heal the sick.so many new believers became testimony for the resurrection power of Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit is transforming the traditional church to New Testament church.

Pro  3:29  The spirit which makes one  devise evil against  his neighbor  

2017 - Year for forgiveness and Reconciliation

Once while I was in prayer,  Holy Spirit reminded me  of something new which I was never aware of.   He brought to my memory many incidents which I had learned in my history class  about the Independence Struggle.  In fact when I was writing the “Vision about India”, the Lord wanted me to go  through these incidents  again. So I went to a library, got a book and read the whole history again. The bitter experiences of Indians, who were struggling under the British rule became fresh to me. I  developed a feeling  of hatred in my mind  towards  those rulers  who ill- treated Gandhiji and the Freedom fighters.  At the same time  I developed  appreciation  towards those British people  who  supported the Freedom fighters  indirectly. 

I learned  more about the ways of the Lord, my Almighty Father!

The following is the principle on which forgiveness operates.

“If you forgive people's sins, they are forgiven. If you retain people's sins, they are retained." Jn 20:23 

Even if the whole land of Britain and all its citizens repent,  fast and plead  God for forgiveness for  sins it committed towards Indians, God cannot forgive unless Indians forgive them!  As per the minimum conditions,  one Indian can do  it on behalf of all the nation! 

But in turn, if the Indians say, “No, we will not forgive you”!  God cannot forgive their sins!

What will be the result?

The British  people will not be forgiven of their sins. They will be thrown into prison (there are varieties of prisons for satan) and  have to suffer punishment according to each and every crime they committed.

The Indians also will be thrown into prison because they refused to forgive.

This is the secret behind all the evils our society is suffering  today.

Testimony from  Vellore - Lion of Judah

I am Magimay from vellore. I was running a small hotel. But due to my addiction to alcohol I lost my business as well as family peace. For the past long ten years I was under the hold of alcoholism. But last Friday after the prayer I had some advices from the brother's and after that day onwards I was totally free from that bondage. Everyone prayed for me and also I had individual prayer too. Now since Saturday onwards I was able to be without alcohol. GOD YESHUAH changed my life.

Troop Arise and sunshine

Yesterday 65 year old aunty came to my cabin with complaints of dizziness and knee pain severe ( to a extend she has not bent her knee for past one yearr). She being a Christian I asked her to forgive everyone , clear her heart from bitterness. She said she had no such thoughts against anyone. When I closed my eyes I saw a vision like she fighting. So I told this to her then she said yes we had a fight in the family 2 weeks back since then this problem. So we prayed over those issue rebuked the spirit. After prayer she was able to squat 50% her daughter in law was surprised. We praised the lord. Given her some spiritual exercises. Looking forward for a complete recovery

TEACHING: The grand betrayal is on. History repeating itself - 2000 years ago, the disciples continued to be busy in deciding who was greater among them, when Jesus revealed to them that He was going to be betrayed and killed! (Luke 22:22-24)

SEASON OF RAPTURE Vs Miracle 10 Crore Sunday!

     The Lord operates in seasons. His works and priorities change according to seasons. His disciples are expected to align with Him as per His seasons and priorities. For a true disciple, the Lord's concern should be his/her concern too. Anyone not aligning with the seasons and priorities of the Lord is not His true disciple at all. In other words such careless disciples are FAKE disciples.

    The word of God teaches us what we should be and what we should not be.

    In this session let us see what we should not be.

    Let us initiate the word of God to be meditated – Luke 22:22-24

    Luke 22:22 And truly the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!” 23 Then they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing. 24 Now there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest.

THE SEASON: Jesus had completed His mission on earth and was about to be led for crucifixion. He reveals this to His disciples.

PREPAREDNESS of His disciples: They were arguing about who was greater among them even after receiving the above startling revelation!

WRITING ON THE WALL

     We see no alignment between the master and His disciples. Sad indeed.

     In verse 22, the Lord was talking about His crucifixion and end of His earthly mission. In the next verse, the disciples were trying to find out who was going to betray Jesus. That search was momentary only. They seemed to have many other pressing priorities!

     You and I may ask what other pressing priorities the disciples could possibly have, when their all powerful master was with them, in flesh and blood. His priority alone should have been their priority!

     But the word of God says that the disciples had completely ignored the revelation from Jesus that He was going to be betrayed and killed. They spent time on the topic, no doubt. But how long? Verse 24 shows that they were too preoccupied with the debate “who is greater among us?” to bother about the shocking revelation from Jesus about His impending betrayal.

     Stunning revelation (to us)!

     Actually, this is a betrayal that preceded the Judas betrayal!

     How can the disciples be so callous about the impending crucifixion of Jesus. The Lord has already revealed to them thrice that He would be given to the gentiles and killed.

     They spent very little time to find out who was that possible betrayer. Apparently, they could not find any as they did not take real effort at all in detecting who the culprit was going to be.

     Even after experiencing this betrayal, the Lord not only silently accepted this rejection but He chose to appreciate them in verse 28. That is His greatness. Amen.

     Luke 22:28  “But you are those who have continued with Me in My trials.

     What a magnificent God we have, in Jesus. Thank you Jesus for what you are!

COMPARISON WITH PRESENT: THIS IS THE SEASON OF RAPTURE. WHAT OUR PASTORS ARE DOING?

     All the end time prophecies are happening right in front of our eyes. The newspapers and internet are full of end time news. The following prophecies are getting fulfilled right in front of our eyes. We do not need a Bible expert to tell us the pointer.

   - Wars and rumours of wars (Matthew 24:6)

   - For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. (Matthew 24:7)

   - Opening of the 5^th seal of the Lamb and fullness of martyrdom through beheading (Revelation 6:9-11, Rev.20:4)

   - It would be like the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37)

   - It would be like the days of Lot – widespread adultery and homosexuality (Luke 17:28)

   - Church would not be doing its core business (Matthew 25:5)

LET US SEE WHAT OUR PASTORS ARE DOING

     Exactly, the way the disciples of the Lord behaved, our pastors are discussing about end times, may be once in 6 months and they are busy with “blessings” messages. In our church, the promise for September 2015 is “from today I will bless you” – Haggai 2:19.

     The pastors are not at all aligned with the season of the Lord – rapture season. Their heart is far away from the Master. The problem for them is that each pastor has his own priorities but the Master is not aligning with their priorities!

     The Master is busy moving things for the rapture of the bride. That is His season. But the pastors are busy conducting “miracle 10 crore Sunday” to collect money and gold from the gullible believers to construct a mega Babylon building to proclaim his name.

     Neither the pastors nor the believers have any time to discuss and get ready for the rapture!

SHOCKING PARALLELS:

     2000 years ago, the disciples were illiterate or poor or both. They had no telecom infrastructure, internet, youtube, whatsapp or even newspaper. They did not have democracy as well. Rome ruled over them.

     Our pastors are neither illiterate nor poor. They have all the infrastructure and information. The Bible is available in their own language. They are able to read and write.

     But their level of preparedness for rapture is equal to the illiterate disciples of Jesus 2000 years ago and their heart is not at all aligned with the Lord on second coming of Christ.

     When the life of Jesus was at stake, the disciples were discussing who was greater among them. Likewise, now

1. a) the whole world is witnessing the cold blooded beheading of Christians and others by muslim terrorists,
2. b) the intellectuals are expecting something to happen on September 23^rd 2015 and
3. c) the world is watching with concern, the massive human tragedy unfolding in Europe due to refugee influx from Syria.

As innocent as doves

While going through the instructions Jesus gave to His disciples when He sent them two by two, the following verses touched me.

"Don't turn on to the road that leads to the gentiles, and don't enter Samaritan towns”. Mat 10:5

 But same Jesus while ascending to His Father, commanded  them to go across the world.

 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."  Act 1:8 

 Jesus addressed  His own people as ‘wolves’.  

 "See, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves” Mat 10:5

 Apostles were compared to sheep and  dove.  

Only Holy Spirit can  teach a soul how they can have  the innocence of dove and the cunningness of serpent put together.

Jesus has guaranteed  food for His worker.

“………….or a traveling bag for the trip, or an extra shirt, or sandals, or a walking stick, because a worker deserves his food.”  Mat 10:10

The missionaries who came to India went by the above  rules and they could achieve much. Let us make an examination where we have erred.

Be Formed and Form is a 5 day short term course. This training is a challenge to the present Church. Because our Lord Jesus Christ (Head of the Church) wants the Church to be transformed according to Ephe 5:26,27.

Forgive your brother from your hearts 

In the deliverance class somebody was sharing a testimony like this.

Yesterday I had an incident. The one who received money from me refused to give the receipt. When I demanded it, he insulted me using abusive words. I was provoked to terrible anger. I wanted to sue him in the court.

Today when I attended the second day of deliverance class, the second session was about forgiveness.

“In anger his master handed him over to the torturers until he could repay the entire debt. This is how my heavenly Father will treat each one of you unless you forgive your brother from your hearts." Mat 18:34, 35 

These words pierced my heart. I forgave this person totally.  Today when I go home after the meeting I will meet this person and  I have decided to invite him  to have tea with me.  After making this decision, there is tremendous peace in my heart.

 “We consider those who endured to be blessed. You have heard about Job's endurance and have seen”.

All participants were later found to be drunkards and addicted to Tobacco.After drinks only they attended the inaugural class.They were using tobacco at worship times and even in class hours and made lot of disturbances in the class also.We could know all these things  only at the close of the session and requested them to throw all the tobacco with them and they obeyed immediately.

In the final day at the testimony time they were all confessed their sin and later  took baptism.They promised to live for God with Holiness,stand with VISION 2020 and accepted  to follow the Troop Church pattern.Glory to God.

Paul School of Deliverance 

Let us take a look at the word of God in this regard:

“WISE MAN WHO BUILT HIS HOUSE ON THE ROCK”

      Matthew 7:24 (NKJV) “Therefore whoever hears THESE SAYINGS OF MINE, AND DOES THEM, I will liken him to a WISE MAN who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a FOOLISH MAN who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

     The above verses are plain and clear.

     Whoever follows whatever Jesus has commanded alone is wise and others are foolish. The Lord has never directed His disciples to follow the Moses law also. The wording “sayings of mine” puts a full stop to all the arguments. No one can presume and extrapolate to give more meaning to the Lord's words. If they give such extrapolation, let us know their intention. I tell you their intention would always be money. Unscrupulous.

     Such men are disciples of mammon spirit – lucifer. (Luke 16:13).

“FOOLISH MAN WHO BUILT HIS HOUSE ON THE SAND”

     Who are these foolish men who built their house on the sand?

     Just take a look at the man made traditions in the churches. Wherever such man made traditions are there, they are places of foolish men. Those who have prescribed these traditions and the followers, both of them are foolish. Because both of them miss out the Kingdom of Heaven at the end.

     A CSI man may argue for hours together about the superiority of the child/sprinkle baptism followed by “confirmation”. Ask him a simple question, “is it given by Jesus”. The answer is “no”.

     Ask these tradition loving persons about lent day fast, harvest festival and Christmas carols. Are they prescribed by Jesus?

     Take a look at the Roman Catholics. Do they follow what Jesus has said in the word of God? Are they built on solid rock (Jesus and His word) or sand (man made hell bound traditions)?

     Who asked them to worship mother Mary? Who are the saints? Who asked them to worship the saints? Who said there is purgatory? Who asked them to place idols in the church? Who asked them to worship rosary – idol at homes? Is there Jesus in RC church?

     Ask the 7^th Day adventists, TELC, Salvation Army and the list goes on.

     In verse 26, the Lord calls them all “foolish men (and women)”.

CONCLUSION:

     The Lord has clearly defined the foundation for a solid spiritual life that can fetch one the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus, Jesus alone is the foundation. None else and nothing else. If anyone builds his/her spiritual life on the foundation of Jesus (His word), he/she will be called wise. Rest of the crowd is called “foolish” by Jesus Himself.

     Do you think the Heaven is a place for this type of fools?

I was in spiritual pain, I had come to the point of emptiness on all fronts. It was the ultimate voidness feeling. I had been absolutely on the waiting level for God to reveal his plan.  I had literally snapped all forms of relationships with almost all of my family, friends and those whom I love. 

After BFF course I could discern in my mind and was waiting on the lord to give direction to my life. I had waited for long and had no fear. I requested God to use me for the last time or cut me off. I felt the touch of the Holy Spirit for the first time. Although I has meaningful time in prayer and studies, I felt fully then Spirit touch. But I thought that my emptiness is not yet felled in and no proper direction to follow. Now I know the visions of God to India and it is really worthy to give my life to God’s vision.

BFF Rejuvenation Conclave Meeting was held at Palavakkam , Chennai.

JESUS DEFINES “WISEMEN” AND “FOOLISHMEN”

      End time is confusing time.

    Men who are after money and lust try to twist the word  of God so that they can live in luxurious houses, driving Audi/Benz cars at the expense of the poor sheep.

     Only the word of God can set anyone free, including the gullible sheep. As of now the sheep has proved to be a sheep only. The sheep is supposed to be a sheep for Jesus and not to the men. No man can call himself a shepherd or Good shepherd. Jesus alone is the shepherd and Good shepherd. The men who have arrogated themselves with the role of a shepherd and good shepherd have twisted the word so much that the sheep is totally confused.

     THE SHEEP OF JESUS ARE ACTUALLY LION CUBS. Each child of God is a child of the Lion of Judah (Rev.5:5, John 1:12, Galatians 4:6).

     For the Good Shepherd, Jesus, these are not only lion cubs but also sheep. But the same is not applicable with any men. When pastors look at the sheep of Jesus they have to look at them as lion cubs and royal priests (1 Peter 2:9). They are never the sheep of the pastor to be butchered and eaten. What has been happening is that the unscrupulous men have subjugated the lion's cubs into harmless and useless sheep, thus stunting  the growth of the Kingdom of Heaven.

     King's children have been made beggars! What a pity!

     As the sheep of Jesus (lion cubs) are too lazy to read the Bible, it has become all the more easy for these unscrupulous men to twist and turn them for their advantage to keep the lion cubs stunted in growth. Only when they remain stunted these lion cubs would remain a sheep. Once it understands that it is a lion cub, the game is over. But the lion cubs remain sheep till date which is very very unfortunate. All the powers of the lion are hidden. They simply eat grass whereas their food is different and their area of operation is also different – not the cages but the wild forests!

     In the wild, these lions have plenty of food (souls of sinners). But the unscrupulous men have caged these lion cubs! Thus, the King's children have become slaves to these unscrupulous men. (Heb.5:12-13, Galatians 4:1-2).

     Bible is a large book. The lion cubs were not taught to read and understand the word of God directly from the Bible. Rather they have been taught to come on Sunday and listen to the oratory skills of the preacher/pastor. Like a circus tent the lion cubs also shout “Hallelujah” - similar to the cheers any circus performer receives in a circus tent.

     It has become easy to manipulate these lion cubs to tell them “reading Bible and understanding is a difficult task. Only the qualified can do it”.  What a lie!

     The word of God says only the Holy Spirit is the teacher and no man can teach and make someone understand. They can teach but they can never make someone understand unless the Holy Spirit decides to do so.

HOLY SPIRIT IS THE TEACHER:

     1 John 2:27 (NKJV) But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, AND YOU DO NOT NEED THAT ANYONE TEACH YOU; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

        As a result, the lion cubs are dependent on these unscrupulous men for the word whereas each one has the ORIGINAL word in their own Bible! They have the original teacher, the Holy Spirit. They need to give scope to the Holy Spirit to teach. These unscrupulous men do not allow the Holy Spirit to take over His rightful role. It is all because of money, money, money…

MOSES Vs JESUS

     The clever manipulation that is being done by these unscrupulous pastors and the so called men of God is to pick up something from the Old Testament and finish the whole teaching. Except the ones that were confirmed by the Lord Jesus in His teachings or the Holy Spirit teachings through the apostles, nothing has survived from Mosaic Law.

     So, going back and teaching from the Old Testament asking the New Testament believers to follow the Old Testament teachings in as it is dangerous.

     Romans 10:4 and Ephesians 2:14-15 have clearly showed us that the Law of Moses had been rescinded / cancelled on the Cross.

     As per Matthew 13:52 we can use the Old Testament laws and teachings to learn the ways of God and how the Old Testament people have failed. But no Moses commandment through Moses can be picked up from there to bind the New Testament believers. Because the Mosaic law comes with a rider that if someone does not fulfil it he/she is cursed (Deuteronomy 27:26).

     All these curses of Mosaic Law have been removed and rescinded by Jesus on the Cross by giving his blood and life (Galatians 3:13). So, anyone who preaches from Mosaic Law and re-establishes all these curses is a cursed man. If the sheep believes it they would be actually cursed if they fail to fulfil the obligations as taught by the preacher from the Mosaic Law. Read Romans 14 to know more about this.

     That means even if a particular task is NOT mandated by Jesus, it would become mandated if the gullible sheep believes in the unscrupulous preacher's false preachings and accept the Old Testament curses. (example: tithes is an Old Testament law. It is not applicable to the New Testament church, also the law regarding vows- Deuteronomy 23:21-23 & Numbers 23).

     The time has come to expose these unscrupulous preachers and pastors.

Milk food and solid food

Bible talks about milk food and solid food in Heb 5:13,14

"Ask, and you will receive.”Mat 7:7 is milk food. We have heard even 50 years old believers sharing testimonies about the material and  spiritual gifts they have received from the Lord. In the same chapter verse 12 gives you the example of solid food.

“Always do for other people everything you want them to do for you” Mat 7:12

How many times in a day I expect my brother, sister, comrade, mother, father etc  to do certain helps for me and  I blame them for not doing it. This is a perfect example to measure my  walk with the Lord.

Whenever I expect help from others, think of the ways I can extend  the same help to them. For eg. If  I expect my sister   in law to look after my child when I am out f the house  for some emergency. I can voluntarily go  to them and say, “If you have  any need to go out, you may  leave your child with me. I will look after”.

If every Christian start practicing this verse, this earth will be made heaven. Everybody will come to  accept Jesus Christ. That is why satan very conveniently  hid this verse from the notice of believers, even pastors.

JESUS IS ALIVE AND ACTIVE EVEN TODAY, DOING MIRACLES, SIGNS AND WONDERS:

   Mark 16:17 (NKJV) And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

   Jesus is alive. How to know He is alive? He does miracles, signs and wonders even today all over the world through His children.

  Jesus directly spoke to all the prophets, starting from Abraham. When He was in the flesh and blood He spoke and we have four gospel books namely Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They are wonderful, to say the least.

  He speaks now too, directly. Yes, I heard Him speaking to me on 26^th February 2010. His voice was lovely clear, firml and audible. Wow. That was an everlasting experience.

END TIME IS DECEPTION TIME

     2 Timothy 4:3 (NKJV) For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

BEWARE OF MURDERERS AND LIARS:

     John 8:44 (NKJV) You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

     John 10:10 (NKJV) The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

JUDGMENT FOR THOSE WHO TAMPER / ALTER THE WORD OF GOD

     Revelation 22:18 (NKJV) For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

SO, WHAT IS THE VERDICT?

IS HE JUST AN ORDINARY MAN?

     1) Jesus is the Prince and the Redeemer

     Jesus is the creator God who came down to earth to pay the price for sin and become the the Redeemer and King of kings.

    Acts 5:30 (NKJV) The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. 31 Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

SALVATION ONLY THROUGH JESUS

     Acts 4:12 (NKJV) Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

     2) He is the Judge on the Great White Throne judgement day.

   3) No person in human history had so many prophecies about him except Jesus. We have seen a few prophecies in the foregone paragraphs. Undoubtedly, Jesus is the Messiah and He is God, the creator. Amen.

WHAT JESUS HAS SAID ABOUT HIMSELF: “I am the ONLY way to Heaven”

     John 14:6 (NKJV) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”.

     John 3:18 (NKJV) “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

     John 5:24 (NKJV) “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

THE FINAL WORD

Let us pray for the deceived people in our secret place.

Pro  16:5  The spirit that makes one proud in heart

Quieting myself

While I was doing my morning worship yesterday, The Holy Spirit taught me some  new lessons about the connection between body, soul and spirit in human beings.  He made me observe the operations  that were going on in these three areas in me. He got me process them and connect them. In my body,  my mouth was singing a particular song. It was very much soothing and comforting to  my soul. As per the command of the soul, my body obeyed and was repeating the same song, sometimes certain stanzas and certain lines.  The soul  enjoyed  divine heavenly peace and joy and I became like a child comforted by a mother. While the body and soul were ministering  to each other like this,  somewhere in between, my spirit entered into the  supernatural realm. As electricity flows and the bulb burns when two electric wires are connected, my spirit started receiving divine revelations. This was a rare experience. Many a days I have struggled in prayer without getting this connection. Through this  the Lord taught me why this struggle happens. I was not able to calm down  my soul. The Lord taught me “quieting myself” is inevitable when I come to the Lord.

Psalm 131:2  “But I have calmes and quited my soul, like a child quited at its mother’s breast; like a child that is quieted is my soul”

The outcome of quieting oneself in prayer is  “entering into His  rest”. If we can’t enter into His rest during daily prayer by quieting our soul, the reason is rebellion.   “So we see that they could not enter in (to his rest) because of unbelief.  Heb 3:19

Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

There is an earnest search among the believers across the world for a real Church where a person can commune with God and relate to his fellow brethren. After trials and experiments the Indian Church is forming “Troop Church”.

The Army of Jesus was experimenting with the “Troop Church” for the past 17 years. Started in the year 1998. The experiment with Troop Church has been successful.

1. It has independent first line second and third line Troop Churches
2. It has raised many leaders, prophets, counselors and other ministers and gospel workers.
3. It has no visible leader or hierarchical structure
4. It has no office, no full timer, no paid worker etc.
5. No organizational (hierarchical) set up.
6. No money collection or transaction.
7. No election, board, Committee etc.
8. Every Troop Church trains up believers in their gifts like worshipping, preaching, prophecy etc.
9. Since the mother troop disperses and starts new troops after 2 months, there is no stagnancy.
10. No pollution or corruption with money or power.

11.The two wings of Troop Church are Decentralisation and Multiplication .

Pastors, They're Coming After You!

The title of this article sounds conspiratorial and inflammatory. In fact, it sounds like a "shock" headline designed to get your attention.

Who, after all, is this ambiguous "they" I'm referring to, and why are "they" coming after "you" - referring obviously to Christian leaders? And what, pray tell, are "they" coming to do to "you"?

So I'll admit it. I did come up with the title of this article for shock value, but the fact is, you need to be shocked. In other words, the title may be sensational, but it is only sensational because it is true. 

Consider this October 26 headline on Fox News: "State of Georgia demands pastor turn over sermons."

Yes, "A lay minister who is suing the Georgia Department of Public Health for religious discrimination has been ordered by the state's attorney general to relinquish his sermons to the government, according to federal court documents."

In the words of Attorney General Samuel Olens, "Please produce a copy of your sermon notes and/or transcripts." And why is the state of Georgia demanding his sermon notes and/or transcripts?

As Todd Starnes reports, "Walsh, a Seventh-day Adventist lay minister had been hired in May 2014 by as a District Health Director with the Georgia Department of Public Health. A week later, a government official asked him to submit copies of his sermons for review. He complied and two days later he was fired."

In other words, he was not fired because of any lack of qualification. To the contrary, he was highly qualified for the job. As noted by attorney David French, Walsh's résumé included "working for former president Bush and President Obama to combat AIDS, serving as a board member of the Latino Health Collaborative, and starting California's first city-run dental clinic for low-income families dealing with HIV/AIDS," but that "wasn't sufficient to overcome the horror at Walsh's Christian views."

 Yes, Walsh was fired for the unpardonable sin of preaching against homosexual practice, based on Scripture - and note that he was preaching this to his fellow-congregants, not giving a lecture to his staff.

As Walsh's lead attorney Jeremy Dys said, "He was fired for something he said in a sermon. If the government is allowed to fire someone over what he said in his sermons, they can come after any of us for our beliefs on anything."

Yes, continued Dys, "It's an incredible intrusion on the sanctity of the pulpit. This is probably the most invasive reach into the pulpit by the state that I've ever seen." But this should not surprise us at all. I pointed out in 2013 that, "Already in April, 2009, an article in the Washington Post documented how, 'Faith organizations and individuals who view homosexuality as sinful and refuse to provide services to gay people are losing a growing number of legal battles that they say are costing them their religious freedom.' "This was confirmed by Georgetown Law Professor Chai Feldblum, appointed by President Obama to serve on the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and herself an out and proud lesbian, when she remarked that when religious liberty and sexual liberty conflict, 'I'm having a hard time coming up with any case in which religious liberty should win.'"

That's why Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran, was fired for his personally held beliefs about sexuality and marriage. That's why Dr. Angela McCaskill, associate provost of diversity and inclusion at Gallaudet University in Washington, DC (and herself a deaf), was suspended from her job for signing a petition at her local church which called for a public vote on same-sex "marriage" (rather than for a legislative decision).

That's why Crystal Dixon, was fired from her position as Associate Vice President of Human Resources at the University of Toledo for writing an editorial in her local newspaper, taking issue with the idea that gay is the new black. And the list goes on and on, growing on a regular basis, as I and others have documented now for years. (Just check out the chapter "Big Brother Is Watching, and He Really Is Gay" in A Queer Thing Happened to America for some sobering examples.) And I used these three examples here because in each case, gay sensitivities not only trumped religious rights, they also demonstrated that, when it comes to "gay rights," even black Americans can be perceived as victimizers rather than victims (Cochran, McCaskill, and Dixon were all black).

 As we have now learned with Dr. Walsh (did I mention he's black as well?), not even the pulpits are safe. But this too should not surprise us. After all, it was just last year that Annise Parker, the lesbian mayor of Houston, along with the city attorney, David Feldman, demanded that 5 local pastors turn over their sermons, speeches, presentations, and even emails to congregants which addressed the issues of homosexuality and gender identity, among other subjects.

And it was only when Parker and Feldman came under intense national pressure that they backed down, with Parker still denying that "the requests were in any way illegal or intended to intrude on religious liberties." With all respect to the mayor's position, her explanation was absolute rubbish, and there is no question that she did intruded on religious liberties.

And as I warned last week, if Hillary Clinton is elected, this will only get worse. Even if Donald Trump is elected, abuses like this will continue on a local level for years to come. There's only thing that can stop it, and that is simply the Church of Jesus, led by its pastors and elders, standing up to speak what is right and do what is right, regardless of cost or consequence. If we do, the tide will turn. Now, I'm quite aware that I sound like a broken record, having written on this theme three times in two weeks, including this article (see here and here). But I will keep sounding the alarm until God's people wake up - beginning with the leaders - and with yet another example staring us in the face, we sleep on to our own peril, not to mention our lasting shame. In recent days, I've been reading a terrific book by Dean G. Stroud entitled, Preaching in Hitler's Shadow: Sermons of Resistance in the Third Reich. And while I am absolutely not comparing our current government to Nazi Germany and while I do not believe we will go the way Nazi Germany went, I can't help but see the striking parallels between our two countries, beginning with these incremental attacks on religious freedom, back then and today.

And so, while I am not saying that America will one day look like Nazi Germany, I am saying that very soon, America will hardly be recognizable, the antithesis of the "land of the free and the home of the brave." After all, who would have believed that in the last two years, government officials would be demanding that pastors and Christian teachers turn over their sermons, sermons notes, and private emails dealing with sexual morality and that, in the last 10 years, Christians would be fired from their jobs or kicked out of their schools because of their privately held, biblical beliefs? And so, I will say it again. It's time to wake up!

Christians rally to denounce Church attack in Tumakuru, Karnataka

Tumakuru: Thousands of Christians including religious leaders of the Christian community staged a dharna along with hunger strike on 18th July, as they took to the streets in the city to condemn the recent attack on Tomlinson church at Siragate. The massive rally which started from Bishop Sargent School to Tomlinson Church in Tumakuru city on Monday culminated at the office of Additional Deputy Commissioner. Wearing black badges, Christians from different denominations including members of Catholic, Protestant, Baptist and Methodist churches from Bengaluru, KGF, Chikkaballapur, Gowribidanur and Channapatna took part in the silent protest.

They later submitted a memorandum to Additional Deputy Commissioner C Anitha. Defining the act as an attack on the communal harmony and peace, the Head of Church of South India of Central Zone, Samuel B. Pujari said, "The attack is not just an attack on the church. But it is a conspiracy to disturb communal harmony in the district. Christians have been living in the district for the last 200 years. They have served people at times the region was hit by plague." As part of the protest, the educational institutions affiliated to the Church of South India (CSI) in the district remain closed.

Worldwide increase in religious communities fleeing persecution

In 2013 the world witnessed the largest displacement of religious communities in recent memory, according to the US State Department International Religious Freedom Report released on Monday. The report highlighted numerous religious conflicts and specific attacks, as well as governmental abuses of religious freedom taking place around the world. "In almost every corner of the globe, millions of Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and others representing a range of faiths were forced from their homes on account of their religious beliefs," the report said. It gave particular mention to the war in Syria, where "as in much of the Middle East, the Christian presence is becoming a shadow of its former self." 

Sectarian violence in the Central African Republic, and anti-Muslim violence in Burma were also noted, as well as government-imposed restrictions in North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Sudan. Major incidents that were mentioned in the report included the bombing of a church in Peshawar, Pakistan, last September, in which 80 people were killed. However, the report did acknowledge inspiring acts of inter-faith solidarity. Following the Peshawar attack, members from the Muslim community formed a human chain around churches during services. In Egypt, Muslims stood in front of a Catholic church to protect the congregation from attacks.

Secretary of State John Kerry has welcomed the report, saying that working on religious freedom is an important part of the United States' global diplomatic engagement. "This report is a clear-eyed objective look at the state of religious freedom around the world, and when necessary, yes, it does directly shine a light in a way that makes some countries – even some of our friends – uncomfortable. But it does so in order to try to make progress," said Kerry. The Secretary of State also announced countries of particular concern as a result of the report. These were Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. While most of the countries have been on the list since 2006, it is the first time that Turkmenistan has been listed. The restriction on registration for religious groups and the limitations on importing religious literature were among the concerns in Turkmenistan.

There were also reports of torture of people who had been detained for religious reasons, including Jehovah's Witnesses, whose beliefs prevented them from complying with military service. The report, which is in its 16th year, assesses each country on its government's protection of religious freedom as well as incidents of religious intolerance. In the UK, there were 193 anti-Muslim incidents recorded by May 2013. There were also 529 reports of anti-Semitism, a decrease from the previous year. The murder of Fusilier Drummer Lee Rigby in London on May 22 was also mentioned as an incident of suspected Islamist extremism.

On Monday the Obama administration also announced the nomination of Rabbi David Saperstein as America's first non-Christian Ambassador-at-large for International Religious Freedom.
