00:22 - Hello and welcome to Jesus for Asia Now. 00:24 I'm Natalie Wood and I am not in our studio. 00:27 I'm actually in India in an English-speaking church. 00:30 And I have the privilege today of doing 00:33 a show like none that we've ever done before 00:36 because we have a guest today 00:38 and she only speaks Tamil and I only speak English. 00:42 So it's a very different kind of show, 00:45 but I'm really happy to have this opportunity. 00:48 Welcome to the show, Jaya Aaron. 00:50 So glad you're here. 00:51 Now, I'm looking forward to learning more about you 00:54 and about what you do with Jesus for Asia. 00:59 - I am one of the phone answerers 01:00 and I am a prayer warrior. 01:04 - Okay, so what does a prayer warrior do? 01:08 - Usually I get phone calls 01:09 for prayer requests like, 01:11 "We are not feeling well and there is a big problem" 01:14 or "My family is in this kind of a sad situation, 01:16 so please pray for us." 01:19 Whenever prayer requests like that come in, we pray for them 01:22 and after two or three days they call us back 01:25 and say, "You prayed for us and the prayer was answered. 01:28 So please tell us more about your faith." 01:31 - I'm sure you have stories. 01:33 Do you have a story that you would like to share with us? 01:36 - Today I'm going to share about three families 01:39 who called for prayer, how they came to know about Jesus 01:42 and how they accepted Jesus. 01:44 I want to share about that. 01:48 - Wonderful. I'm looking forward to hearing. 01:52 - This is from a place called Theni in Tamil Nadu 01:54 about a girl named Rajani. 01:57 She is a nursing school graduate. 01:59 She came to know me through her mother 02:01 who had previously called for prayer. 02:04 You see, Rajani was married to a Hindu man, 02:07 even though her family comes from a Protestant background. 02:11 She felt that her life was completely ruined. 02:14 It was a bitter marriage. 02:16 She had a baby by that time, 02:18 but their lives were so miserable that they separated. 02:21 Her mother called me, she said, 02:24 "I made a big mistake. 02:26 You gave me Bible studies. 02:27 You told me about Jesus, 02:29 but I never listened to you. 02:31 I never responded to it. 02:34 I made a mistake. 02:35 I gave my daughter a way to be married to a Hindu man 02:39 and now my whole life is ruined. 02:41 So I need to ask God to forgive me 02:43 for turning away from him, 02:45 for not listening to your Bible studies 02:47 or obeying God's word." 02:49 And now I have started giving Bible studies 02:52 to the mother and to her daughter also. 02:54 They both asked so many questions. 02:57 We spent many days together as I explained 03:00 the doctrines and about the Sabbath. 03:02 And finally now by God's grace, 03:04 they both have accepted Jesus Christ 03:07 and they are attending church regularly 03:09 on Fridays and on the Sabbath. 03:13 - Wow. 03:15 - Before, Rajani was working in a hospital 03:17 in Coimbatore, but after the family situation, 03:20 she could not go to work for nearly a year and a half. 03:23 When she finally returned, they said, 03:25 "Your position is already filled." 03:27 So she prayed for a new job 03:30 and God has given her an excellent job 03:32 nearer to where she lives and she is happy 03:35 with her mother and son. 03:36 And moreover, on Fridays if she gets any kind 03:39 of work, she says, "No." 03:41 Friday evening, Sabbath morning, she has determined 03:45 that she will not do any work. 03:47 And she even told the hospital, 03:48 I do not want to work on Sabbath. 03:51 No, not on Sabbath. 03:52 So now they are coming to church. 03:54 They come on Friday and Saturday, 03:56 they come Sabbath morning and bring food. 03:59 They stay the full day at church 04:01 and are involved in the door visiting ministry. 04:04 - Wow. Praise the Lord. 04:06 That's a beautiful story. 04:09 - Rajani's mother is praying that her daughter's husband 04:11 will also join them. 04:13 Also, they are praying for both her sons 04:15 who have not accepted Jesus, 04:17 that they will also accept Jesus and come. 04:20 So that is her greatest desire, 04:22 to bring the whole family to Jesus. 04:25 - Yes. Amen. 04:27 So when you're talking about giving people Bible studies, 04:31 do you go to their home to study the Bible with them? 04:34 How do you do the Bible studies? 04:35 - I cannot go to the house because it is too far. 04:38 If I were to go, I would have to take a train 04:41 and travel overnight to reach them. 04:43 So I give them Bible studies over the phone. 04:48 - You said it was a lot of Bible study 04:50 with Rajani and her mother. 04:53 So you had to explain to them about the Sabbath, 04:55 about the 10 Commandments, different things like that? 04:58 - I started teaching them about the 10 Commandments 05:01 and Sabbath and the three angels messages, 05:04 how the Bible was written and by whom, 05:06 who inspired the Bible, you know, 05:09 and how long it took to write it. 05:11 I explained all these things to them. 05:12 - So even though the mother was Christian, 05:15 she didn't know very much about the Bible? 05:19 - Yes. 05:20 Even though she was a Christian, 05:22 she did not know anything about the Bible. 05:25 - So it was starting from scratch, 05:27 from the very beginning. 05:28 - I started teaching them from 05:30 the Book of Genesis to Revelation. 05:32 - That took a lot of time, I'm sure. 05:35 - It was three to four years of studies. 05:38 - During the process of studying the Bible with them, 05:41 did you introduce them to a church pastor 05:44 or a Bible worker in their area, 05:46 or was there one? 05:49 - I gave her an address. 05:50 I said, "If you go to this place, 05:52 there will be a seven day Adventist school. 05:55 Right next to the school 05:56 there is a seven Day Adventist church. 05:58 You go there on the Sabbath day 06:00 and give the phone to the pastor. 06:01 I will talk to the pastor 06:03 and I will connect you with him." 06:06 - Okay. 06:07 Well, I know you have another story you'd like 06:09 to share, so would you like to start that now? 06:13 - This lady's name is Prabha. 06:15 She is from Madurai down south. 06:17 She was introduced by a lady who called me previously 06:20 through our JFA TV program. 06:22 For the past 10 years, 06:24 she had been going to the Pentecostal Church. 06:26 The lady who introduced her to me 06:28 had told her that I can give her Bible studies. 06:30 So Prabha said, "I heard about you 06:33 and I want to know the Bible. 06:35 Please teach me from the Bible." 06:38 She did not know anything about the Bible, 06:40 who wrote it when it was written or how it was written. 06:44 For the last 10 years, 06:46 she was going to a Pentecostal church, 06:48 but she knew nothing from the Bible. 06:50 She thought that speaking in tongues, 06:52 going to church on Sunday 06:54 and being filled with the Holy Spirit 06:55 was what was important. 06:58 She was blindly going to church 06:59 without knowing the real truth. 07:01 I started teaching her from Acts 2. 07:04 I taught her about tongues from the Bible 07:06 and from 1 Corinthians 13 07:09 about what is true Christianity. 07:11 You know these chapters, these Bible verses, 07:14 when I started teaching her, she said, 07:16 "How come I didn't know these things from the Bible?" 07:19 And she said, "If you speak in tongues, 07:21 the Bible says that you also need to tell the meaning. 07:25 But some people are just speaking 07:26 without knowing the meaning, 07:28 which is not really speaking in tongues." 07:30 And then she understood and she started to realize. 07:33 And so she told me, "Yes, what you said is right." 07:37 - Wow. 07:39 - I started teaching her about the 10 Commandments 07:41 because many people do not really 07:43 believe in the commandments. 07:44 I started teaching her how important 07:46 the 10 Commandments are. 07:47 Also, about the three Angels message 07:49 and the other doctrines from the Bible. 07:52 I would even use Ellen White books to teach her. 07:55 She was amazed to know all these truths 07:57 which she had not heard before. 07:58 She was very happy to learn these things 08:01 and she wanted to learn more about God. 08:03 Now she is going to a Seventh Day Adventist Church 08:06 and most importantly, she is also teaching 08:08 her former church members that what we are doing is wrong. 08:12 Sunday is not the Sabbath day, 08:14 speaking in tongues is not what we believe it to be, 08:17 and the 10 Commandments have not vanished. 08:19 We are still to observe the Sabbath. 08:21 Her goal is to bring Bible truth to that church 08:23 and her neighbors who belong to that church 08:25 and she is working among them now. 08:28 She showed them 1 Timothy 6, verses 13 and 14. 08:31 She quoted that the commandments have not vanished 08:35 and in the time of the Israelites, 08:37 if you touch the Ark of the Covenant 08:39 when you were not allowed to, you die. 08:42 She taught them how important the 10 Commandments are. 08:44 Moses laws vanished but not God's. 08:47 What God gave to us did not vanish. 08:49 It was kept inside of the arc of the covenant. 08:51 Now she is going to our church, attending our church, 08:55 and she said, "I am not going to go away 08:57 or turn away from this truth. 08:59 I am going to keep the Sabbath, 09:01 which is of the greatest importance." 09:03 Also, she is doing the things which need to be done 09:06 before Sabbath to keep the Sabbath holy, 09:08 like preparing the food and keeping the Sabbath holy 09:11 without doing any work for personal gain. 09:14 She is observing the Sabbath 100% now. 09:17 She says, "I want to share this for as long as I live. 09:21 I want to share this truth with many other people." 09:24 Even yesterday, her son was doing his 12th grade exams. 09:27 He called me. 09:29 He said, "Mother, please pray for me. 09:31 I am going to write my exams. 09:33 I want God's blessing." 09:35 So I prayed for him yesterday. 09:39 - Wow. Powerful testimony. 09:42 That's really awesome yo see how God is working 09:44 and leading people to himself. 09:48 - Her son has accepted the Sabbath, 09:50 but her husband has not yet. 09:53 But she says that "I have great hope 09:56 that God will touch him." 09:57 She is slowly sharing the Bible truth to her husband. 10:00 Her prayer request is for us to please pray for her husband 10:04 so that God will touch him and he will be converted also. 10:10 - We will. 10:11 - I was studying the Bible with a woman from the South 10:13 and whomever I give Bible studies to, 10:16 I will ask them to write down the Bible verses. 10:19 This lady had many questions, so she wrote the verses 10:22 that answered her questions on a notebook. 10:25 I told her, "Tonight, what we are going to do is 10:29 before going to sleep, pray earnestly. 10:32 Ask for the Holy Spirit and read these verses. 10:35 The Holy Spirit will speak in your heart." 10:38 The next day she called me and said, 10:40 "I did what you told me to do 10:42 before going to sleep. 10:43 I prayed and I read and asked for the Holy Spirit. 10:46 Then I read the verses again 10:48 and the Holy Spirit came into my heart. 10:50 He explained so many things to me, 10:52 which were all the things you told me about 10:54 and many other things." 10:55 She was amazed because of that. 10:57 The next day she said to me, 10:59 "This truth is so important, so valuable, 11:02 but my church pastors are not talking about it. 11:06 Yet, learning these truths I know now 11:09 that I do not want to go to that church." 11:11 She said, "I will make sure 11:14 that I will stand firm in this truth." 11:16 That is what she told me. 11:20 - Wow. Praise the Lord. 11:22 - I said, "I told you all these things from the Bible. 11:26 It is your responsibility to talk to your pastor. 11:30 Ask him these questions. 11:31 Why are you not teaching these things? 11:33 The same things you ask me." 11:36 So the next day the pastor came to her house 11:40 and she said, "First I am going to ask you a question." 11:43 The pastor said, "All this time, 11:45 you did not have any questions. 11:47 What happened? 11:48 Today, you are going to ask me questions? 11:50 Okay, you asked me your questions." 11:54 She asked him, "Tell me from the Bible, 11:56 which is the true Sabbath day." 11:58 Her pastor was astonished. He was shocked. 12:01 He said, "You come to church regularly on Sunday 12:03 and today you are asking me when is the Sabbath?" 12:07 She said to him, "No, you tell me from Bible, 12:11 which is the true Sabbath day?" 12:12 The pastor asked her, 12:14 "Who came and told you to ask this question?" 12:16 She said, "A lady from Chennai, 12:19 she is giving me Bible studies 12:20 and she is quoting everything from the Bible, 12:23 and I am really inspired and I was touched by those words. 12:28 Please answer me now, which is the true Sabbath? 12:31 Why are you hiding these things?" 12:34 Then he said, "You believe that lady 12:37 who called you over the phone from Chennai, 12:39 but you don't believe me?" 12:40 She said, "No, it is not that I am believing her. 12:44 You teach me from the Bible. 12:47 She taught me from the Bible. 12:48 You do the same. 12:50 Answer my question from the Bible". 12:53 She asked, "Tell me now, which is the true Sabbath day?" 12:56 The pastor finally said, "According to Bible, 13:00 Saturday is the Sabbath day." 13:02 Then she said, "So you know the truth 13:04 and you were hiding this truth all this time? 13:07 Why did you do that? 13:09 Do you want us to go to hell? 13:11 You want us all to die? 13:12 Why would you do that?" 13:14 And he said, "I tell you, this is a Sabbath, Saturday." 13:20 Then he left. 13:22 - Wow. That's powerful. 13:24 So were you born Adventist or did you become Adventist? 13:30 - My father and mother were both Hindus. 13:32 My father was offered a job which required 13:35 the family to go to Coimbatore. 13:37 One day, a pastor told my father about Jesus 13:41 and my parents accepted Jesus 13:43 and became Protestant Christians. 13:47 - Okay. 13:49 - At that time my father was working 13:51 as a foreman and there was a big strike. 13:54 My father was opposed to the strike, 13:56 so he brought other workers from outside 13:58 and they started working even though 14:00 the whole company was striking. 14:02 The workers who were on the picket line 14:04 were very angry at him, 14:05 so they hatched to plot to kill him. 14:07 They offered my father's horse and car driver 14:09 a lot of money to take my father to a certain location 14:12 the next time he was driving him. 14:14 Every week this driver would pick up 14:16 the entire family to take us to church. 14:18 We would always arrive an hour before church, 14:20 but this time the horseman was quite late. 14:23 The horse went normally for a while 14:26 and then it stopped and refused to walk anymore. 14:29 It was just standing there 14:31 and would not move even one step further. 14:33 We were getting late for church, 14:35 so the driver started hitting the horse, 14:38 but still the horse would not move. 14:41 Then my father said to the driver, 14:43 "I do not want to go anymore. 14:46 Just take us back to our house because it is too late now." 14:50 The problem was those guys 14:52 that had bribed the driver told him, 14:54 "If you do not bring this family to that particular place, 14:57 we are going to kill you and your family." 15:00 So he was trying his best to take my family 15:02 to that spot because he was afraid, 15:05 but the horse just would not move at all. 15:08 My father said, "Just turn the horse cart around. 15:11 We do not want to go to church late." 15:13 As he turned the horse cart, 15:14 the horse ran fast all the way back to our house. 15:17 After the horse got us back to our house, 15:19 the driver informed my father of the bribe he had taken 15:23 to bring the family to that spot. 15:26 - Wow. 15:28 - He put that money at my father's feet 15:30 and said, "I do not want this money. 15:32 I was given this money to take your family 15:35 to that place for those men to kill you, 15:38 but I see now that your God is the living God." 15:41 He fell to his knees and he said, 15:43 "Please forgive me for what 15:45 I have done against your family." 15:47 So he immediately wrote a letter of resignation 15:50 and resigned from his job, 15:52 and we went to a place called (indistinct). 15:55 After we arrived there, 15:58 my father and brother were on their way to a shop. 16:00 Along the way, they heard music coming from the building. 16:04 They went inside to see what was going on. 16:07 Inside, there was a big banner on which was written, 16:11 "If you attend this meeting for 40 days, 16:14 we will give you a free Bible as a gift." 16:17 They were so surprised and they had wanted a Bible 16:21 so they thought, "Okay, let's go attend those meetings." 16:24 This is where they came to know about 16:26 the Seventh Day Adventist Church. 16:28 They accepted this truth 16:30 and as a family they were baptized into the church. 16:36 - That's a great testimony. 16:38 How old were you then? 16:40 - When the incident happened 16:41 with that horse card in Coimbatore 16:44 I was two years old. 16:45 When we came to the Adventist Church, 16:47 I was about 12 years old. 16:50 - Okay, awesome. 16:53 God was leading in your life 16:54 and taking care of you even from a very small age. 16:57 After you were baptized, did you go to Adventist school? 17:03 - Yes, I attended one of our boarding schools there. 17:08 - Did you meet your husband there at school? 17:10 - No. 17:11 - Was he an Adventist? 17:13 - He was attending a Baptist church when we met. 17:18 He was given Bible studies 17:20 and then he joined the Adventist church. 17:22 After that, he became an elder at our church. 17:26 - So after you met him? - After marriage. 17:28 - After marriage. Okay. 17:30 I know that he has passed away now 17:32 and he used to work in the railway, 17:35 and I heard one time he was in a terrible accident. 17:39 - Yes. 17:40 He had an accident while working 17:42 as a mechanic for the railways. 17:43 This accident happened when he was traveling to New Delhi. 17:47 On the way, the train was derailed. 17:49 It was a miracle, 17:51 at the time he was sitting between the train cars. 17:54 Miraculously he was thrown from the train. 17:57 God threw him away from the train 17:59 and he rolled down the hill into thorn bushes, 18:01 which cushioned his fall and then into some sand. 18:04 Usually there are big rocks at the side of the tracks, 18:08 but not at that specific place. 18:10 God really protected him and saved his life 18:12 without any severe injury from that big accident. 18:16 - Wow. That's a blessing. 18:19 And your youngest son? 18:21 - He studied at Spicer College, 18:23 then studied outside also, 18:25 and now he is working for Jesus for Asia 18:28 and he is doing ministry all over India. 18:32 - Did he always work for God? 18:34 Did he always do ministry? 18:36 - He first worked in a call center. 18:38 He had issues with his eyes and left. 18:41 Then he went to work in another call center. 18:43 He was offered a nice salary, but he refused it. 18:47 He came and asked me, "Should I join this company?" 18:50 I asked him if they would allow him to rest on Sabbath 18:53 and he said, no. 18:55 "I do not want the job then. 18:56 I do not want to work for this company 18:59 because I will not have the Sabbath off." 19:01 I encouraged him to honor his God. 19:03 So he quit that good paying job. 19:06 He got admitted to a very well known college 19:09 where it was difficult to get into. 19:10 He never went because of the Sabbath issue. 19:13 All three of our children went to Spicer Adventist College 19:16 because of the Sabbath issue, only Sabbath. 19:21 - I just realized I forgot to ask you 19:22 about when your youngest son was small 19:26 and he had polio. 19:30 - When he was four months old he almost died. 19:33 He was normal when he was born, 19:34 but when he was four months old, he stopped moving. 19:37 I did not know what to do. 19:40 Immediately, I took him to the hospital 19:41 and there the doctors were not even able to find a vein. 19:45 They said, "Your son is dying. 19:48 His vital signs are very weak." 19:50 But I begged them. 19:51 I said, no, please find a vein, 19:53 but they could not find a vein. 19:55 For three days, the doctor said he should not sleep. 19:58 If he sleeps, he will die. 20:00 So I kept him awake for three days. 20:02 Finally, they were able to find a vein, 20:05 and through that vein 20:06 they started giving fluids and medicine. 20:08 It was only because of prayer that he survived. 20:11 After that, he was fine until he was nine months old. 20:15 When suddenly he developed a high fever 20:17 with heavy vomiting. 20:19 For six straight days he had a high fever. 20:22 I took him to the primary hospital 20:24 and the doctor said, "No, we cannot do anything. 20:27 The fever is high. 20:29 He is going to die." 20:30 I took him to the children's hospital 20:32 and there after six days, the fever broke. 20:35 We then found that he was afflicted with polio. 20:38 So the fever slowly started reducing, 20:40 but he was still unconscious. 20:42 For 15 days he was in the children's hospital. 20:45 I was praying for him. 20:47 Fasting and praying for him. 20:49 For six days, I held him on my lap there. 20:52 I was continually reading the Bible and praying, 20:55 "Lord, please send the doctor, at least one 20:58 doctor so that they can see what is the problem." 21:01 On the sixth day of fasting and praying, 21:03 a team of six doctors arrived and attended to my son. 21:08 They found that both his legs and hands were not working. 21:12 He was completely frozen. 21:14 His body was frozen, 21:16 and they took my baby and laid him on the bed. 21:18 They said, "We will do what we can." 21:21 But I continued fasting and praying. 21:24 The doctors put plaster casts on his legs. 21:26 15 days of fasting and praying. 21:29 I never gave up praying and wrestling with God. 21:31 Oh Lord, please heal my son 21:33 so he can have a normal life and look after himself. 21:36 When they took off the cast there was no improvement, 21:40 so they did it again. 21:42 Finally, after the third attempt, one leg was 100% healed. 21:47 The other leg was 50% healed. 21:50 So the doctor said it will heal fully 21:52 with physical therapy and exercise. 21:54 They were all surprised to see that my prayer was answered. 21:59 - Wow. 22:01 - And I thank God for healing him and helping him. 22:04 Now he is doing this work. 22:06 I am so happy to see him serving the Lord. 22:10 - Amen. 22:11 Wow, you have really seen the hand of God 22:14 in your life and the lives of your family. 22:17 So before you started helping with 22:20 the television prayer phone ministry, 22:22 had you been praying for a way to have a ministry from home? 22:27 - Yes. It was the answer to my prayer. 22:30 But still, I also love to go door to door. 22:33 Even though now I am doing the phone ministry, 22:36 I am also doing tracks ministry when I travel. 22:39 I keep telling people about Jesus. 22:42 - I know, I've gone with you shopping before 22:44 and we were on the train for two minutes 22:46 and you were telling someone about Jesus. 22:50 - I have a small taxi take me to the church. 22:52 I share the word of God all through our travel time. 22:55 When we get there, when I get out, 22:57 I will tell the driver, this is the church. 23:00 Please come to this church. 23:01 My pastor has seen me several times sitting 23:03 in front of the church in the auto rickshaw. 23:06 - Wow. 23:08 - I would stay there 23:09 and tell the driver about God, 23:11 we all need to do God's work like this. 23:13 We need to share the love of God 23:15 because we are in the last day. 23:16 We should not give up any opportunity given to us. 23:20 - Yeah. 23:21 We need to all be evangelists 23:22 and really care about the people around us. 23:26 - Even when I leave the church, 23:28 I am giving Bible studies to whomever 23:30 is in the auto with me, 23:31 teaching them about the love that God has for us. 23:35 They are always thankful to learn about Jesus. 23:39 - Wow. 23:40 And now today you're helping other people to know about God. 23:44 So in your work, what does your day look like? 23:48 - I do the work of answering the phone calls 23:51 in the morning and I give them Bible studies. 23:53 When a pastor comes to my house, 23:55 I will give them the prayer request. 23:57 The pastors do the prayer and I do the Bible studies. 24:02 - So how many Bible studies do you do in a typical day? 24:07 - Usually about five hours of giving Bible studies 24:10 and another three hours of taking prayer requests. 24:14 - So do you only do Bible studies between certain hours, 24:17 like between eight and five, 24:19 or do you do Bible studies other times of the day? 24:23 - There are no time limits. 24:25 They will call me all hours of the day or night. 24:29 People will call me and tell me, "I am free now. 24:31 May we please have Bible study at 12:30 at night?" 24:35 And we will have Bible study at that time. 24:39 - So you recognize that when they're interested 24:42 is the time to give it to them. 24:45 - Yes. 24:46 People will say to me, "I have my Bible with me. 24:49 May we have Bible study now?" 24:51 And I will give them immediately anytime. 24:55 - So do you see the value in the TV ministry? 24:59 Do you think it's valuable? 25:02 - This TV ministry is really an important ministry 25:04 because we are able to reach many people around the world. 25:07 There are calls from all over India 25:10 and even far away from India, from the Andaman Islands 25:14 and many other countries. 25:15 There are calls coming and they are asking for prayer. 25:19 I feel that this is a very valuable ministry. 25:22 - So you believe it should continue? 25:24 - Yes. 25:25 It must continue because there are so many people 25:27 who do not know Jesus yet. 25:30 It must reach them all. 25:31 - Yes, I agree with you. 25:33 - There are so many Bible studies going on 25:36 through this TV program and many have accepted Jesus Christ, 25:40 but many are still hesitating 25:42 because they wanted to accept Jesus Christ as a family. 25:45 And there have been many calls, 25:47 prayer calls through this ministry. 25:50 - So we're almost finished, 25:53 and I wanted to ask, 25:55 who is Jesus to you in your life? 25:58 - Jesus Christ is everything to me. 26:00 The disease, the sicknesses, the weakness I am undergoing. 26:03 Amidst all this, I am surviving. 26:05 It is because of his grace. 26:07 Without Jesus, I cannot live, not even for a moment. 26:11 - So are you thankful that you can spend 26:13 your days helping other people to know Him too? 26:16 - I am really very happy 26:18 and I pray that God will bring many more people 26:21 for Bible studies and prayer. 26:23 That is my only prayer. 26:26 - Yes, that is our prayer also. 26:29 - The Bible says this gospel needs to be preached 26:32 to all the nations, to all the world. 26:34 Then shall the end come. 26:36 So it is our responsibility to spread the gospel. 26:39 - I agree with you 100%. 26:41 So you're doing Bible studies for one person who calls you, 26:45 but then it seems like every time through that 26:48 someone else finds out about Jesus also, 26:51 and so it's spreading. 26:53 - I have faith that even though outwardly 26:55 they are not yet showing that they have accepted the truth, 26:58 seeds have been planted inwardly. 27:01 Particularly that lady, you know, 27:03 there are so many like that. 27:04 But the seeds which are sown in their heart 27:06 about the Sabbath and the true God 27:08 and the second coming of Jesus, 27:09 they cannot give an excuse saying 27:12 that they did not know the truth. 27:14 You know, if they accept it, 27:15 it is good for their eternal life, 27:17 but the seeds which are sown, 27:20 and it is now the Holy Spirit's job 27:22 to do the work in them. 27:24 - I wanna thank you so much for coming 27:26 and sharing with us. 27:28 It's been a huge blessing. 27:30 - I am also very happy. Thank you. 27:32 - I wanna invite you to learn a lesson 27:35 from Mrs Jaya Aaron and pray. 27:38 Pray all the time, pray no matter what, and pray for others. 27:42 And if you would like to know more about our TV ministry 27:45 here in India, you can contact us at Jesus for Asia 27:49 PO Box 1221, Collegedale, Tennessee, 37315. 27:55 Call us at (423) 413-7321 27:59 or visit our website Jesus4asia.org. 28:03 May God richly bless you until we see you next time 28:06 on Jesus for Asia Now. 28:08 (uplifting music) |
