I was born in Hindu devoted family. My parents had no children even after 20 years of their marriage life. I am unable to describe how my parents were suffered. Our relatives are not allowing my parents for any functions, because they having not children. During that time my parents had dun several things and worshipped several gods. So after 20 years I was born. Because of this reason my parents had loved me so much.
Whatever I want they had been provided with over love. My parents have been worshiping several Gods; my parents were strongly dedicated and devoted their life to worship several gods. Regularly they were spending their time with various gods to worship and conducted several devotions in my house and various temples.
As I had seen my parents, I also strictly participated and spent more time with the same worship in my house as well as various Temples. We had a special worship room for the meditation; this room was full of gods and other materials to worship the gods. I was a good devote and committed to follow our tradition.
I have completed my high school education and at the same time I was fully involved and immersed in all bad habits, what not every thing, Drinking, smoking, gambling, committed and doing all these evil things. You know our villages are unable to bare my bad behavior and they have tried several times to close my chapter. I have plenty of money, several people in my hand nobody is trying to control from my bad habits. My parents are also unable to control me, because they had loved me very much. But they have tried their level best, to protect me. However, they were totally failed. Many times, they have discussed how to control from my bad habits. Again they thought of me seriously and decided to change place and my circle of friends and present living place in which I was residing. They hoped that the new circumstances might have changed my life style. My parents have purchased 20 Acres of agriculture Land, and House at Machilipatnam, they told me you go with your family and stay there to manage this property. I felt very happy because there is no need to ask money from my parents. I shifted my family and settled at Machilipatnam.
After one year I got job in Revenue Department. Now I am free from my parent’s relatives and my native place. No bothered about the money and power to enjoy life. Even I lead my life with evil things; I was fully devoted and worshipped many gods. I was enjoying like anything with all my un-counted bad habits. At this movement I have to tell you one thing ever day I wanted to settle my (SIN), because every day I used to involved several evil things. So I used to purchase coconuts, Sheep, goats, hen etc., to wash all my sin through this tradition. This is my habit what I believe is, whenever I committed the sin I want to wash my sin with these formalities, which was told my parents. So my life style is such and has been passing the days without any problems. (Many people of India will come to Jesus to heal from their sickness, after that these people will go back. But I came to wash my sin with His blood). So after few years I have noticed there is no real Joy in my life through this life style and no peace or goal in my life “what is this? Why I am unable to enjoying happens? Why I am loosing the joy and peace in my life? Why? I had sufficient money leading good life, but I have no real happy or goal in my life.
So when I noticed this then I have given more Importance to spend much more time with pasting in front of the several gods and Temples. And I have given more money to gods to get peace and real joy. But there is no answer. I have not received any thing. Then I have decided, there is no God, “If there is a god why I have loosing the joy and peace. Then I have decided to close the worship. What I am expecting is, if I am not worshiping these gods then they will definitely give the answer, they will give the peace and joy for me or they will give the punishment because I stopped worship. I have waited several months, but what is the result? Even after there is no answer and no change in my life. And I have not received any answer. So I have decided there is no God. And now I turned another side and telling people why are you wasting your time and money to worship, you know there is no god all these activities are waste, do not waste your time and money you do whatever you want I have been encouraging people doing this publicity. So my life is going on without peace, joy and goal. My Savior has given me the new life.
You know how much bad work I have don against to him? I can’t describe. Even thou He forgot all my sins. Amen.
So from my Child-hood I was totally against to the Christianity and the Lord Jesus Christ’ really I don’t know about the Jesus. They treated he is also one of the God, which we have several gods. And they are also thinking the Jesus is not for us. He is only for the others. I thought like that, moreover no pastor, preacher or others were not dared to visit my house to tell about this God, because we are totally dedicated and worshipping with the several gods my father is one of strong devote. And another reason is we do not believe, because our minds have been kept in the darkness by the evil god of this world as per the word says In 2nd CORINTHIANS 4:4-5. Evil will not open my eyes to see the real light, love and power of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I have already told you we are totally against to the Christ. When I saw the Christians I was very much angry and I used vulgar language, several times I beat the pastors/preachers at the meeting places, and several times I have created problems like cut the power supply started the quarrels with Gospel workers to stop the gospel meetings in our village not only that I have created several problems to the preachers. And I destroyed several Gospel meeting with my followers.
After few months, one-day evening I was discussing various things with all my family members. Suddenly they raised about the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus is also God. Why don’t we go and attend the Church to worship the Lord he may able to give you joy and peace, I heard this word, I was so much angry, and I used vulgar language, because I was totally against to the Lord Jesus Christ. I said don’t tell about the Jesus. Because we have millions of Gods you can choose any one of them what is the need of this God? I have raised that point at that time I said, I don’t want to come to the Church. And also I am not allow go to the Church. (At present people are saying like this. In Mark 5:7 and screamed in a loud voice, “Jesus, Son of the most High God! What do you want with me? Now days the people are saying Jesus we no need you, because we have ever thing money, power, strength and influence what we need we will follow and do the evil things.)
So after few months again raised the same topic at that time without knowing me I said I would not come to Church if you are interested you can go. Then they are planning to attend to the Church, but how? They don’t have the experience to attend Church. Then they requested one of her sister; she was studying in Christian college having some Christian friends. She introduced one Christian family they joined with them and attended the Church. I was waited at my home to create some troubles. I asked critical question, when they come back from the Church. I have started several questions.” How much peace and joy has given this God? They replied, “We felt very happy and enjoyed a peace full atmosphere she said ‘You come and see it, I said Impossible’ I don’t want to come, I no need to step in the Church. It is impossible to worship this God.
So In the mean time we are living without peace and joy. Again one day they requested me to attend the Church. Without my knowledge I accepted. I went to the Church. When I entered in the Church, I saw the cross. I was very much feared because I am totally worked against to the Jesus and I did so many bad things against to this Lord. I am thinking and feared this God must be very angry on me and he counted all my bad issues, which I have dunned against him. I am not interested to sit to see the Cross. I want to escape from this cross. Then I sat in corner of the pillar by the side of the window. I don’t want face this cross, and not interested to hear the word, and as quickly as possible I want to go out from this place. I have not concentrated in service and forcefully diverted my mind; I have been counting the vehicles running on the road. So I have spent Two hours in the Church and I come out with great fear.
After the service, the pastor was stood in front of the Church he enquired about us, when he saw me he has the fear why this person was came, several people are struggling and fearing. So pastor came to me with fear heart, and he wished me and invited us that day Gospel meeting in the evening, without my knowledge I said I will try to come. In the evening we attend this meeting. I am watching the people and I stood by the side of the book stall. One widow came and purchased Bible and told the Pastor, Pastor the god has given me this Bible she said with smiling face. I loudly laugh the money is yours you have purchase this Bible with her money why she was telling the God has given this? I never forget her face till today. The program had started with songs. I enjoyed songs. After singing, the speaker has started the God’s message. But I was not listening. At that time the preacher was telling the story of The Lost Son from LUKE 15:11- 32. Suddenly I heard that word you are a sinner. I was shocked and I saw in and around of the people in the meeting. I have decided this word and message is not for me for Christians only. But I noticed the Holy Spirit has started His work in my heart several times that word is ringing and forcing me you are a sinner. So I was totally disturbed and what I thought is, I am not a sinner and not having any sin in my life, because I have been washing all my sins every day with followed by several customs. I have spent so much money and sacrificed several animals. After the meeting I came back, and went to bed with struggles that word is contumely telling me you are a sinner. Then God had started to shown all my sins. I remembered all my sins one by one this process was going on from 1 Am to 3 Am on that day in March 27, 1980,
I was totally surrendered my life to the Holy Spirit. I have accepted and confessed all my sins in the presence of the Lord and God. Then I accepted Him as my personal Savior. Praise the Lord and God He washed all my sins with his precious blood. As per the word of God says in Roma 10:8-10
says this God’s message is near you, on your lips and your heart” that is, the message of faith that we preach. If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved. For it is by our confession that we are saved.
Then God has given me real joy peace and assurance of the Salvation as per the word in John 3:16:17 For God loved the world so much that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life. For God did not send his son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior, and he given me this promise
John 5:24. My life has totally changed and I had over come from all my bad habits, all my family members were taken immersion baptism. I have resigned my job; I want to live for God. I have decided to serve the Lord. Whenever I accepted Lord Jesus Christ, immediately my parents, all my relatives and friends are elevated my family from their community. They said to day onwards we do not want to continue any relationship with your family. So please don’t come to our houses and they are also stopped to visit us and cut off all the relations. Praise the God. Then the evil has started his power to shown us and created lot of problems from our relatives. You believe or not it is true, we had faced several problems. I have stopped all my wrong way earnings money from various sorceresses. You know when we celebrate birthday function we have spent thousands of rupees for this occasion and enjoyed in several ways. After my conversion I have stopped all these earnings, you know I am unable to provide at least one new shirt to my son birthday. Not only that we have spend several days without taking meal, we filled our stomach with full of water, no rice for cooking food, no money to buy things we spent several months, at this time we have been praying and praising God and the Lord our God has given me the opportunity to have the Holy Spirit experienced He filled with the Holy Spirit. Praise the Lord; the God has protected me from all the problems. And I have personally experienced his love, compassion and concerned. Now I have the real joy, peace Vision goals and meaning full life. God has forgiven all my sins with his grace, and filled with the Holy spirit. I have prayed with pasting for several Months along with my family, I want to know what Gods plans for me and my family? What plans he has? So after several months, God has given me this burden and concern to preach the Gospel and help the poor and needy people entire my life time as per I Corinthians 10:33 says Just do as I do; I try to please everyone in all that I do, not thinking of my own good, but of the good of all so that they might be saved and Acts.26:18.
I have started to sharing my testimony and preaching the word in the public meetings. We have faced several problems with other faiths; they have stoned us and insulted me several times. But my savior is with me He has been protecting us from all these dangerous & worst situations.
we have started cottage prayers, Gospel meetings they don’t know about the living God. All these families are worshipping various gods, we want to preach, teach and release them from the clutches of the Evil spirits. The God has been giving his guidance and his blessings. Now thousands of the families are accepting Lord as their personal Savior.
After their conversion they have been worshipping the real God. The Holy Spirit has been moving in this area and touching many people, through our ministry. If Spirit of the Lord leading you to rise up as a prayer warrior for these harassed and helpless people? If you have like mind and kind heart on these dying souls, please join with us. So, your prayers will give strength to our missionaries. We invite you to be a part of this God’s work and to pray for the great revival of the Nation of India.
