Praying for India ~ e3

“And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,” Acts 5:14

Today, ask Jesus to add multitudes of new believers every day to His church in Banjara country.

Asking "Why?"
- from the desk of Curtis Sergeant, e3 Partners
I asked God why He allows all the spiritual darkness, abusive leadership, poverty, illness and ignorance in the world. He replied, "Ask rather, 'Why do we allow this to happen?' You are my body, my hands, my feet."

Ever since the garden of Eden, mankind has been pointing the finger at someone else and blaming them for all that has gone wrong. God is looking for someone who will take responsibility rather than shifting it.

Matt 25:31-46
31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. 34 "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 37 "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
40 "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'
44 "They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' 45 "He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' 46 "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

LORD God, we pray and ask that You so fill us with Yourself that we faithfully proclaim Your call … to go as we love and to love as we go … to our others here, who also profess to be Your children while denying the spiritual darkness there in Banjara land. – in Jesus name, AMEN.

This is a DAILY Banjara prayer distribution to those intercessors committed to praying daily for the Banjara Gypsy of India … for a 1000 fold harvest of souls within Andhra Pradesh’s lost, hopeless, and predominately illiterate population … for laborers to work the tribal’s harvest field … for genuine discipleship that produces faithful and reliable men and women who point continually to Jesus as they intentionally “make disciples …, baptizing them …, and teaching them to observe …” all Jesus Christ has commanded us.
