31 October 2010 - ENCS

Today we heard from Pastor Yasupadam
Hearing his testimony, it was hard to stay calm
From an untouchable starving on the street
Saved by a Baptist missionary he did meet
With communism and gangs he spent many a year
Before God's word he finally did hear
As Jesus said "with all I have done for you"
"What for me will you do?

He used Acts 1-5 as a basis for his story
Both are factual, there's no need for allegory
In keeping with the series on the Holy Ghost
That is what Pastor focused on most

From Acts 1:8, the Holy Spirit provides power
For the disciples to witness, not to cower
"To the ends of the earth" Jesus did say
Pastor is focused on a million Indians today
To introduce Jesus to India is his goal
Thanks to his obviously Spirit-filled soul

About the Spirit we hear more in Acts two
The disciples spoke in languages they never knew
But the Spirit's power is much more than the tongue
It fills the souls of all it is among
Acts three tells the story of the beggar at the gate
To him the Spirit Peter and John did dissipate

When we look into Acts chapter four
We read that the first persecution did occur
Pastor said this was not just a story abstract
When filled with the Spirit, we will be attacked

So we must be careful how the Spirit we do use
Pastor continued to share his strong views
His greatest privilege is to the unreached reaching
Using God's word to drive his work and teaching
