20 arrested for assaulting villager over conversion charge

Jalaun: Police in northern India have arrested 20 people from a hard-line Hindu group for assaulting and parading a young man on a donkey accusing him of trying to convert three people to Christianity. Police said Awadesh Savita, 35, was attacked Jan. 29 in Rendhar village of Uttar Pradesh state. Some 20 men barged into his house, assaulted him and his wife and took Savita to the nearby Orai town. There they hired a barber to shave his head, half of his moustache and one eyebrow. They also put a garland of shoes on him and paraded around town before taking him to the police station, accusing him of trying to convert others. Some 200 people took part in this incident.

“The complaint is not valid as preliminary investigation has proved that Awadesh Savita was not involved in conversion activities,” Manoj Kumar, police official at the Orai police station told ucanews.com. Police arrested 20 people belonging to the Bajrang Dal, a militant Hindu organization. “More arrests will follow in the coming days,” he added. Savita’s wife Rekha told ucanews.com that some villagers were upset about their family because of their interest in Christ after they sought treatment for their 7-year-old son at a Christian hospital in Varanasi.

Rekha maintains that she and her family did not convert to Christianity. “Why would we engage in conversion? What will we benefit from that?” she asked. The Uttar Pradesh state government has no law banning religious conversions but Christian leaders say hard-line groups are against conversions in the state, where Hindus from 80 percent of its 200 million people. Christians are negligible minority in the state. Christian leaders also say attacks against religious minorities as well as those in favor of such groups have increased across India ever since the pro-Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party came to power in New Delhi almost two years ago.

Village fines people for saying ‘Christian’ prayers

Julwania:  A village council in central India has fined four people for practicing Christianity and is closely watching them to prevent them continuing to do so. The Dahar village council in Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh, fined the four 5,000 rupees (US$75) each, Shankar Singh, one of those fined told ucanews.com Feb 4. The punishment on Jan. 19 came five days after police arrested and later released 12 people who had gathered at Singh’s house.

The arrests followed accusations by a Hindu group that the people at the gathering were attempting to convert to Christianity. Members of the Hindu group surrounded the house and called police, Singh said. “We are under tremendous pressure to give up our faith in Christ,” the 40-year-old told ucanews.com, adding that he had been prevented from leaving the village for the past two weeks. He and the other three denied allegations they had converted to Christianity or indulged in any conversion activity. “I am a member of the Bhilala tribe and continue to be in it,” Singh said. “I’m simply happy to attend Christian meetings and prayers, which have helped me overcome my financial worries, alcoholism, unhappiness and other negativities in my life.” The state, run by pro-Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party, has an anti-conversion law that criminalizes conversion if done without permission from government authorities. Fines and jail terms are stipulated for those involved in “fraudulent” and “forced” conversion and for “alluring” people to change their religion. Fined for breaching harmony Singh recounted that for more than two weeks he has been closely watched by a self-appointed “vigilance team” and that he and the other people fined were “prevented from leaving the village.”

The village of some 2,000 people has only four people attending Christian prayers, the rest follow tribal traditions, Singh said. Jurla Bhai, 36, who also was fined, said the council threatened “to expell us from the village after accusing us of converting to Christianity and going against local traditions.”

Bhai also denied converting. Village headman Mukud Randa confirmed the imposition of the fines. They were fined for “breaching peace and harmony” in the village and “picking arguments with their own family members,” he said. In breaching harmony, “they were refusing to offer prayers and sacrifices to their goddesses and eat food offered in our worship,” Randa said. “This led to family discord and the fine was to discipline them and to keep the community together,” he said. Those wanting to follow Christianity are facing a “hostile situation,” according to Jagdish Mehara, a local minister, who was among the 12 arrested, told ucanews.com. Christians have been opposing the state’s anti-conversion laws on the grounds that they violate religious freedom as enshrined in the Indian Constitution.

TEACHING: DO NOT BELIEVE EVERY SPIRIT – Dr. Arun

But test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

This verse clearly teaches about discerning and not judging.(Judging can be condemnation, Discerning is the analysis of good and evil).

How can we test the spirits?

* Always check if they speak and teach according to the Bible.

* Check their  Kingdom fruits.

If we don’t analyze them, we will be deceived.

Satan is good in Word Knowledge, but he always twists the Truth to induce disobedience.

He blocks people from producing the fruit of Holy Spirit

Where is Holy Spirits, there is freedom

(2Cor 3-17), also means if there is evil spirit there is no deliverance.          

Why many believers in the church are not delivered?

Why no big miracles take place as in the Apostolic days.?

Why there is no discipleship?

But the Word of God preached  here (BFF) is deep, I am interesting and appreciated.

Simple questions that can expose the Truth.

Just go to your church and tell your pastor, I am going to baptize a new soul.

📌 Pastor :- No, bring them here, make them confess repent(1week), Baptism class (3wks), based on my appointment I will  baptize.

 📌 Word:- Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matt 28-19)

Who is correct Word / pastor??😱

You are not judging but analysing what’s correct and what is not based on the Word.

But if you lack Word Knowledge you can be deceived. Altered truth cannot deliver you.

If it is not based on the Word, it cannot be from the Holy Spirit, if it’s not from the Holy Spirit, then there is no deliverance.

(Analyse every spirit based on the Word to prevent any deception).👍🙏

Work of Nicolaitans (Contd)

What are the scriptures that churches use to promote the ideologies of a government in a church that is ordained by God?

This section will explore the various scriptures used by churches to promote that a government in a church is ordained by God.

Lessons from Moses — Where did he get the information from?

Exodus 18:13 to 27:  And so it was, on the next day, that Moses sat to judge the people; and the people stood before Moses from morning until evening.  So when Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he did for the people, he said, “What is this thing that you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit, and all the people stand before you from morning until evening?” And Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God.  When they have a difficulty, they come to me, and I judge between one and another; and I make known the statutes of God and His laws.”

So Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “The thing that you do is not good.  Both you and these people who are with you will surely wear yourselves out. For this thing is too much for you; you are not able to perform it by yourself. Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and God will be with you: Stand before God for the people, so that you may bring the difficulties to God. And you shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and show them the way in which they must walk and the work they must do.

Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.  And let them judge the people at all times. Then it will be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they themselves shall judge. So it will be easier for you, for they will bear the burden with you.  If you do this thing, and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all this people will also go to their place in peace.”

So Moses heeded the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said.  And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people: rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.  So they judged the people at all times; the hard cases they brought to Moses, but they judged every small case themselves.

Then Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went his way to his own land.

Exodus 18:13 to 27 is the fundamental doctrine used by all churches to appoint ministers, evangelists, rabbis, priests, so that people can be taught the way of the Most High Elohim.

We need to examine the above-mentioned verses as we have a big problem. From the scriptures prior to Exodus 18:13 to 27, we find that Moses is asking God for instructions on how to do things. When we come to Exodus 18:13 to 27, we have a situation that is similar to the one we had in the garden of Eden, where a third person is now entering the picture with advice on how things are to be done.

The common belief that people have is that God told Moses to set into motion the events that took place in Exodus 18:13 to 27. But it was not God who told Moses what to do, but it was a third person. This third person is Moses’ father-in-law and his name is Jethro. Jethro was a priest of Midian. Midianites worshipped multiple pagan gods and Jethro was a priest of Midian and its people. Therefore, Jethro was a pagan priest. Later in the scriptures, we see YHWH Elohim telling Moses to destroy the Midianites (Numbers 25:17-18 and Numbers 31) because of their wicked ways.

Instead of asking God for advice on how to teach the children of Israel, he heard the advice of Jethro as shown in Exodus 18 verses 24 to 26. So Moses heeded the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said.  And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people: rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.  So they judged the people at all times; the hard cases they brought to Moses, but they judged every small case themselves.

Why did Moses listen and do what Jethro told him? He did it because it was pleasant to Moses’ eyes/hearing. Because Moses made this decision without consulting with God in the first place, God allowed this to happen. Moses here failed the “test of faithfulness”. Keep in mind that such decisions are not small; these are big decisions that require the counsel of the Most High Elohim. But Moses heard the counsel of Jethro, who was a pagan priest.

So the hierarchy of people to rule was put in place by Moses who received advice from a pagan priest (seed of serpent). This was a mistake that Moses did. God did not tell Moses to do this; it was a decision Moses made on the advice of his father-in-law.

The hierarchy to rule the children of Israel came from a pagan priest, not from God.

Testimonies shared in the meeting :

Jogindar :

I was on the 3rd floor of the building and was working there. I fell from the third floor in the duct of the lift when the construction of the building was going and I thought I will die. I saw three persons in white as light, then I was saved.  When I told them the incident, they (Hindus)  all said “How great is your God !”.

Premanand, Vasco

Demolishing work was carried out phase wise in Baina where I live. It is government. property and we are staying there for decades. We started praying to God, as 150 houses were to be demolished. We prayed for the  Ministers of corruption.  There is a stay order on demolishing of  houses. Praise the Lord !.

 

Dr. Chaya and Dora

Chaya informed Dora to pray for students and youth who are committing suicide.  Due to suicidal tendencies many youth are in problem.  Suddenly Dora told Chaya she and her family are having this problem too of suicide and asked for prayer.

Dora showed Dr. Chaya  Job 11 13-20

All troop members present at Fellowship meeting were asked to pray for Dora and her family and also for suicidal tendencies in today’s youth to disappear.

Arvind :

My Mother had naval problem and she went to the Doctor for a  checkup. The doctor checked her  sugar  It was high (300) and asked her to come the next day for naval operation.  That night I prayed and asked for prayers. Next day along with my mother  I went to the doctor in the hospital for operation. The doctor examined and said her sugar had come down and operation was not required. After two days, she said the naval which was outside had gone in.

Tania (my wife) was coming home from work, Since I  had to attend troop meeting else where, she had to walk home. It was 7:00 pm, the road that day was full of heavy traffic and no street lights. In the opposite direction she saw a figure from a distance with something protruding from the hands, it was a stick and the hair was thick and jetting out. It was a horrifying figure.  She knew it was a mad lady / man coming in opposite direction.  Tania was in a fix,  to go on the left she would be in the middle of the road, to go on the right she would be in the trees.  She had no choice but to walk straight. I am sure she was scared.  As she reached near the lady,  the lady looking towards the trees screamed, Tania peacefully walked ahead and later narrated the incident to me.  I told her “Angels are protecting you”.

Elias :

Panchayat was not giving the house number for my new house.  I was praying Then I remembered some years ago a similar situation I had prayed and got house number for my old house. I prophesied for the Sarpanch  to change and to get my house number. After prophesying the Sarpanch was transferred and after 8 days, now I got my house number.

Jerome :

Our troop members are going to Gwalior and UP.  2 persons are going to UP and 1 person to Gwalior to their native place. They also want to serve the Lord.

There were 6 children living with the mother who is very poor, her husband a drunkard, after keeping in prayers, 2 children are in Verna and  2 children in Panjim, in  a care home and 2 children are with the mother.  The mother has agreed to work and look after the children

Jerome and Rosy asked for prayer , as they knew God had plans for them to visit UP, Punjab and Jharkhand .  The entire group prayed for them.

Each troop along with their members were asked to come forward and the rest prayed over.  To multiply and evangelize.

Many were touched with the Holy Spirit and felt great Anointing.

Message for reflection – Sr.Angelica

Jesus’ friends

From Jan 21-26 a group of 16 members came from Ranchi, Orissa and Kolkata to attend the “Be Formed and Form” training. One of them was sharing  his experience.

“Sister these days I do not hear the voice of God”. I asked him  “Have you ever heard the voice of God?” .sdas

He said “Yes. I first came to the Lord in the  Shekinah Evangelization Programme. I did not know who was in charge of  conducting the programme.  While I was moving around the Lord showed one sister (in Ranchi) and told me, “This is my beloved daughter”  (Later I  came to know her responsibility in conducting Shekinah program). As we were walking along in the garden  the bell rang. The Lord asked me to go to class. I did not want  Jesus to leave me and hence hesitated to go. As Jesus  compelled me to go, I started crying like a child. He patted my shoulders and said,  Don’t cry. Don’t go to the class with a long face. Take the hanki, wipe the face and go”. The innocence in his face showed that he was not telling a lie. He continued, “Sister, I don’t hear such voices these days”. How can I hear  it again?

The childlike question made me spellbound.

“………………….but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.” John 15:15

Be Formed and Form (BFF) Testimonies shared in Troop Fellowship Meeting – GOA

Oliver:

Since Oct’15, every time I would think of BFF, there was something coming up and I had to postpone my visit. This time I had to go and attended the BFF. It was a good experience.

Due to my return ticket I had to visit another person on my way to Bangalore, so I asked God what can I give him and I prayed over.  After some time, this friend of mine got a call from his company and said he will be getting his salary along with long due payments / arrears and his salary was revised and released after my prayers.

Rolland:

We think we know a lot, but this BFF experience for me was totally different, it was a deeper experience, to know revelations, secrets, more anointing. Made me detached from my family. It has changed and helped me.

Shankar:

First time travelled by flight. It was beautiful from top. I was thinking how beautiful will heaven be.

I can’t speak good English, but at BFF I was able to share my experience in English and everyone could understand. I praise God , He helped me.

Tithes : After attending BFF I understood about Tithes. I often used to think where and whom to give the tithes which me and my wife had kept. After praying I asked a friend where can I get a laptop and now I have purchased a laptop which I can use  for God’s work.

Assis :

After coming from Chennai, I faced a lot of persecutions. The same night I was fighting with a lady devil, then I saw a small child coming after me like a dog. My whole body was tight/stiff. I knew it was a spiritual warfare in my dream.

If anything has to take place, suffering is a must.

I have come across different doctrines, gospels. My questions were answered at BFF.

Why people trouble believers : Gen 3:14, 3:19

Anointing service at BFF : I got a vision and I saw different instruments in gold, they were rotating, but no one was playing the instruments. Then I saw streamers from heaven coming down, all in gold. As soon as the Anointing service was over, it all went up.

Francis Alvares :

After 31 years I had a good experience again.  Fresh touch, fresh love filled with Holy Spirit. Very powerful anointing. I went like stone, I became a living stone now. We need to pray for new people, who are on fire for God. Any decision we take, we need to pray. I was crying and God was molding me.

In our troop, one lady had a slayed in the spirit after praying over her, she became alright.

William :

I didn’t know what to do , but I was sure I wanted to do something for the Lord. What is God’s will in my life.  He knows whats best in my life. After coming from BFF, I wanted to start the troop, but did not know how to go about. Finally, I have started with my family on Fridays we sit for troop meeting.

Patsy :

When I was ready to  attend BFF , it was raining in Chennai, My home people were asking me to cancel my ticket, but I went ahead with my plans for BFF . We were only 2 students for BFF. Sr. Angelica also wanted to cancel the BFF but as she prayed she got a message these 2 are like 200 people. So BFF was as per schedule for only 2 students.  On the last day I felt little sleepy and got this message Eph. 6 Amour of God and I was sure going to Chennai for BFF was to mold me.
