All Glory to God!

I take pleasure to introduce myself in the name of Lord Jesus Christ.
My name is R. Chandrasekaran from India, located in Tamilnadu at Chennai, I was born and brought up in a thoroughly an orthodox high caste Hindu background.
Encountered the love of Lord Jesus Christ while the New Testament distributed by Gideon’s International studying at Christian higher secondary school. The word of God is powerful it changes anyone at any time since God magnified His word above all His majesty.
The power of God is in the WORD of God. Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
I obeyed God’s commandment took immersion baptism. Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Our gracious Lord Jesus delivered me from many evil powers especially from witch-craft, sorcery, from all Idol worships and many illnesses I thank God from the bottom of my heart now am an evangelist , teacher , pastor counselor doing His service nearly 28 years as full time servant of God.
My cup runneth over, Thank you Jesus. I thank the Almighty for His intervention in my life; one who called us is faithful. I Thess 5:24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Our Lord Jesus anointed me by The Holy Spirit, started praying tongues me had tremendous experience in spirit, Almighty God gave me a vision in that vision I saw Lord Jesus Crucifixion scene it made me to serve Him. God gave me the calling and vision to do His work full time.
By His grace am traveling around the world doing Gospel work. I am also running a regd. Charitable Trust to help many and planting churches, helping poor, supporting rural evangelists, pastors , distributing Bibles , tracts ,charity work , paying fees to the deserved students and economically backward people. By the grace of God, more than 200 non-Christian families came to know the love of Jesus Christ. Heb 4:12.For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Psalms 107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. 1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

With much love and prayers.
Your loving brother in Christ Jesus, R.Chandrasekaran. .. ..

It is a blessing, an encouragement to read how God is working in far-flung places.

I have a few questions for you: how did your family respond to your new-found faith? Have they come to the LORD as well? If not, do they persecute you? Does your faith evoke persecution from other religious persons in your community?

God bless you, brother. Appreciate you sharing your story here on SI. I look forward to reading your answers to my questions.

I suffered a lot at early stage of conversion thro my family members, relatives and friends for years even ex-communicated from the family , but Our God is good one who called us is faithful.

Now as a family we are worshipping the living God.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof

Very precious

(John Fawcett, "Christ Precious")

"Yes, He is very precious to you who believe!"
1 Peter 2:7

Jesus is precious to believers—as the bread of God coming down from heaven, and giving everlasting life to their souls. By Him they are really, constantly, and daily supported, fed and sustained. As bread is sweet and precious to a hungry man—so is Christ sweet and precious to those who live by Him. The entertainment that He gives to them—is a divine, a spiritual feast!

Jesus is precious to believers—as the Sun of Righteousness. The beams of His grace are healing, enlightening, cheering, and full of consolation. If natural light is sweet, if it is a pleasant thing to behold the sun—how much more pleasant to experience the irradiating influences of the Light of life!

Jesus is precious to believers—as the fountain where they bathe their weary souls, and in which they are cleansed from all sin and impurity. He is the tree of life, under the shadow of which, they sit with great delight, and His fruit is sweet to their taste. He is a rock, a strong tower, a hiding-place, where they find protection from every storm, and security from every foe. He was precious to the Psalmist under all these views—"I will love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my strength in whom I trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower."

It is therefore the delight of their lives—to know Him, to love and honor Him with their whole hearts, and to aspire after conformity to His blessed image, and His holy will.

"O blessed Redeemer, I find in you all that my poor helpless soul stands in need of. Though I have the greatest reason for shame and humiliation, on account of what I am in myself—yet in You I behold everything to elevate my hopes, and to afford me relief and encouragement! May my soul magnify the Lord, and my spirit rejoice in God my Savior! The characters and relations in which You have revealed Yourself to me in Your Word—exhibit a balm for every wound, and a cordial for every fear.

If I am naked—You are the Lord my righteousness.
If I am soul-sick—You are my physician.
If I am weak and helpless—You are my strength.
If I am neglected and despised—You are my compassionate and faithful friend.
If I am ignorant—You are made unto me wisdom.
If I am polluted and enslaved—You are made unto me sanctification and redemption.
If I am nothing but emptiness and vanity—You are full of grace and truth."

"Yes, He is very precious to you who believe!" 1 Peter 2:7
