Editors Note: There is a background song called 'Hold On' by Twila Paris that can be heard if you are using Internet Explorer.

PART III:
While reading through most of the book, I felt Jesus Christ asking me this question: ‘Ramesh, if you know you are going to be shot with a gun because you are preaching me and proclaiming biblical principles, would you still preach and reach each for me?’

I said to myself, ’Yes, I would’.

Then I felt the Lord Jesus asking me, ’Will you really minister to everyone even if you knew one of them will shoot you where you are ministering’

I said, ’Yes, Lord’

Then I felt the Lord Jesus saying to me, “How can you Ramesh, when you are upset and angry that someone stole your laptop and have lost that passion for me which overflowed in ministry to minister to others. How will you if you think that someone will shoot you?’

I was convicted and was reminded of what happened to me is nothing compared to what happened to people like Jim Elliot and his friends when they went to the Auca Indians to minister to them but were martyred. It did not stop Elliot’s wife Elizabeth Elliot to minister to them. One of the killers eventually gave their life to Christ. You can watch the movie called ‘End of the Spear’ to experience the life transforming power of Jesus Christ even through tragedy because not only one killed was touched by so much more happened.

I felt being asked by the Lord, ’Why Ramesh should your life be easy going in the place I sent you to minister to and proclaim my Truth to the world, when Moses, Elijah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and even I did not have it easy? You do not want to continue what I want you to do because of a laptop, how will you endure?’

I had to come to the point that to make Jesus known, it is possible I could be hated and shunned. I could lose friends and more, but the Lord reminded me of one verse He instilled in my heart when He helped me read through the entire Bible in 33 days. The verse is ’But life is worth nothing unless I use it to do the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus, the work of telling others about God’s mighty goodness and love.’ (Acts 20:24, TLB)

So friends, after three nights of experiencing darkness of the soul and confusion, the Lord Jesus has shown me to live for Him is to suffer for Him. The Lord Jesus alone has put that passion to do ministry back in this soul of mine for His honor and glory. Yet, I know I need to be at the feet of Jesus Christ everyday or I open myself up to succumb to Satanic attack.

May these 3 nights, 3 parts testimony inspire you to serve the Lord Jesus Christ with love, joy, and peace this Christmas season! May you experience His healing touch in your life. You can hold on to many things but holding on to Jesus will give you hope.

May you be a light to those around you giving them hope as the Lord Jesus is helping me through my own healing which is a process at times. I still miss my laptop and still sad to see my dad in the condition he is in but the Lord Jesus gives hope and sends his angels to minister. I know as I wait on the Lord, He will provide me another laptop one day.

 I have always thought of a friend as an angel at times because the Lord Jesus always has used this friend to minister to me just as he did yesterday Nov 30th when she sent me a simple txt message asking me if I was okay since I was not heard from since Sunday night.

Sometimes when you don't hear from your friends or they seem to have dropped off the face of the earth, a simple inquiry is all they may need to pick themselves up and keep moving on and keep on smiling. Sometimes, it takes more than one mode of communication to reach them. I know for I have been at the giving end and the receiving end.

For our Lord Jesus sends people at the right time in His timing for His honor and glory. May you be that hope for someone who is down whether or not they are a believer in Christ. May Christ's love, peace, and joy overflow through you this Christmas season to touch the lives of the wounded, scared, and troubled! Amen!

“Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.” (1 John 2:15-17, NLT)
