Thoughts upon my return from India... I went to India confident of several things: The Lord opened the doors in Allahabad and Bangalore, and He wanted me to go; He would hear the prayers of my intercessors and would bless His Word to revive the church and save the lost; He would protect His servant and return him to his place of service. And I can say that I saw the glory of God in India! What wonder preparation had been made in both cities! The Lord blessed the people. I can still hear the people worshiping — singing, clapping, dancing, shouting. After most of the Christians in Allahabad had been revived, sinners began coming to Christ including several Hindus. Down in Bangalore we had two great days of sharing on the Holy Spirit and militant intercession, during which time Catholics and Protestants, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Church of the Brethren, Nazarene and many other groups came together as one in Christ. Such love, such unity, such worship, such conviction! God’s power was present to make Christians hungry for cleansing and the fullness of the Spirit. I felt a surge of Pentecostal power as I prayed for these hungry, believing servants of the Lord. I know that anointed lives will impact the great city of Bangalore. I thank the Lord for all who prayed for me and supported the mission to India financially. I believe you made a wise investment, one which will make us all richer in the life to come. To God be the glory! -- Rev. James W. Tharp |
