Understanding the leading of the Holy Spirit and a call to pray.

 Not so long ago ,one morning I had this strange urge to paint a picture of a lady.I had no idea what picture I could draw so as I was looking through the choices I had I decided to draw a geometric drawing of an elegant lady whose picture my sister had sent me.I started work on and as it progressed I suddenly had this deep urge to keep one of the hands cut.I followed it and I did just that, Was wondering what it was all about and then towards evening Shanker came to me and told me the news about a missionary kid who had done a deliberate self harm.I knew then that this was what the Spirit had been trying to show me.

I shared it with a few people .undertandably,most people just gave me a blamk stare .So many years after the incident .I am meeting my older sister .As we do our bible studies and intercession together she feels that for the season the Lord has poured the Spirit of intercession on me.When I narrated this incident to her she immediately worded the sentencee .'A picture of a member being cut from the body of Christ.'She was stressing the fact ,how important it was to pray in the Spirit when we do not know what to pray for.There have been a few instances in my life when I have been at that point.The Lord shows me something ,many times I do not understand what it is .

“But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God” (1 Corinthians 2:10)

'We do not know what to pray for but the Spirit intercedes for us through wordless groans.'Romans 8 vs 26

Feet in the water.

  Fifteen days of earned leave after working for two years,I was praying in a house group prayer and worship and pleading with the Lord to show me something ,when it was not forthcoming I surrendered to the Lord and prayed let your will be done and then I saw the Lord walking up a winding road and deep in my spirit I knew He was calling me to follow Him .I did not know where to but I thanked the Lord and said yes. I have been living more in the unseen world than the seen world. Suddenly out of the blue I received a message from Dr Arpit asking me to replace them in Madhipura  for a  fortnight. I needed to go because things were getting a little intense and I needed sometime to step back and mull some things over. I had no idea why the Lord was taking me back to the old world of EHA , mission hospitals and friends from the yore. Travelling to Madhipura , I  continnued to ask the Lord, 'Why this road? I had no idea why I was going  where I was going.I am glad I came because I could r

night-hunting.

 Monda suggested  we go  hunting. Dressed up to beat the rains and the unpredictable weather we ventured out at night with the two Dawas. Annie had baked a cake for Rumpanol.It started  pouring in spurts but nothing could beat the enthusiasm.The junior Dawa was to drive us to a place around fifteen kilometres up the north Sikkim highway.We would come across three rivulets of sort where we could possibly find the edible frog.The senior Dawa was already at the spot making a pathway in the jungle for us to proceed. We reached the spot at around eight at night.in the pitch dark one could hear the sound of frogs of all variety and we started seeing quite a few but none of edible variety.We shuffled around in the rain with an umbrella,raincoat and torches like Nancy drew exploring the grasses and having eye contacts with stunned frogs which seemed to have lost the ability to run .The two boys did a Tarzen and was lost in the jungle with a sling bag ,a torch sans any cover from the rain.While

Thank you.

 After almost five months of struggling with the nitty gritties the dialysis unit opened last week. We were able to dialyse our set of first three patients over the last few days. So much of effort,dissapointments ,struggles,joys and most importantly prayers have gone into the venture.Many who will never see the fruit of their prayers have invested their prayers into it. The day it started with many apprehension I was praying at the early morning hour and put my head on the pillow to rest and then just as I was about to sleep I saw a vision of Jesus on His knees interceding.That is how much my Lord cares for us and this morning while listening to Alistair I realised that He deals with us like a father does a five year old .That is how He sees us. Lord Jesus ,you are the crown on my head and the only thing I can take pride in.
