Thank you so much Arsha. This Mentoring Hour, we'd like to open up this time for any of you to ask questions regarding Christian life, what you've been you know studying from the Bible or what you've been learning from the courses about questions or ministry anything pertaining to Christian life ministry to the courses that you're studying please feel free to unmute your mics and ask your questions you could also even post the question on in the chat section and we'll do our best the faculties are here we'll do our best to answer your questions so you could begin you can unmute your mics and ask the questions so you can even post them on the in the chat section anyone would like to begin you'll have any questions yes Surya yeah ma'am good morning ma'am good morning ma'am one question from my side actually ma'am from so many days and I'm asking to myself that I'm having so much of faith like maximum up to like Abraham but I'm not having that much of prayer life so so so my question is so whether I have to keep focused on my faith or on my prayer so from my side I am always keep keeping focused on faith only why because I'm having so much of faith in God that God will do anything based on my faith so I'm thinking in that way okay so could you suggest that whether I have to keep focused on my faith or on and prayer on so much of prayer for life okay good question thank you for your question Surya so Surya's question is you know he has he feels that he has or he senses that he has faith like Abraham's faith and he's he knows that whatever he asks God God will answer him and his his query is you know should he focus just on his faith aspect of his life faith walk with God or also you know grow in his you know spiritual intimacy with God prayer life so like would any of our faculty like to answer this question someone who the faculty who's teaching on prayer and intercession like to answer this thank you Surya for that question so what I would like to say is that prayer and faith are interconnected it's wonderful that you have a lot of faith in God and that you trust that God is able you know to fulfill his promise in your life just the way you know Abraham believed in God but here's the thing we we see that you know Jesus encouraged one to have a strong prayer life to continually keep their faith strong so a reason why I'm saying this is in Matthew chapter 17 there is an incident where the son of a person he's taken to the disciples he is tormented by you know demons and he's taken to the disciples but the disciples are not able to cast out the demon so at that point this is in Matthew chapter 17 and verse 17 where Jesus he rebukes the disciples and he says oh faithless and perverse generation how long shall I be with you now how long shall I bear with you to bring him here to me so he rebukes the disciples they couldn't cast out the demon he says one of the reasons is faithless generation okay so what is the solution so then after that he casts out the demon and then you know he the disciples come back and ask him Lord you know why couldn't we cast out the demon so then he says something like you know he talks about faith okay because of your unbelief he answers the question and he adds to that and he says this kind shall not go out except by prayer and fasting so you see there for them to have been able to cast out the demon they needed faith and for that faith Jesus is saying without prayer and fasting so there's a connection to keep our faith between prayer and faith so for us to keep our faith strong one needs to fast for one to you know deal with unbelief in their lives they need to pray and fast so there is a connection so great that we have good faith but to maintain that faith and strengthen that faith in order to walk in you know the supernatural and the things of God we need to pray Surya so it's when we pray that you know our faith will be maintained and also grow I hope I shared that clearly does it make sense Surya does it help thank you ma'am thank you so much yeah thank you thank you pastor Nancy would anyone any of the other faculty like to share your insights on Surya's question yeah thanks Selena I just want to share just a couple of scriptures actually three three of them one is from Jude Jude chapter one verse 20 you know it says but you beloved building yourself up on your most holy faith praying in the Holy Spirit keep yourselves in the love of God you know looking unto the mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ so like pastor Nancy said there is a connection between faith and prayer and here we say praying in the Holy Spirit which is praying in tongues which is which is building yourself I mean building us in faith right so so here's that instruction from in this episode that you pray in the Holy Spirit and you're going to build yourself on the Holy in your faith then we also see in Romans 10 17 of course it's about saving faith so it says so faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God so here we see the other you know thing of the word of God nourishing us and the word of God building our faith right the third thing that we see is one contains 12 where we have the gift of faith which is another aspect of faith where one contains 12 talks about how by the Holy Spirit we have the gift of faith one contains 12 and verse nine I think yeah to another faith by the same spirit so the gift of faith is also another thing which we receive from the spirit from the Holy Spirit and we see you know one contains 14 talk about pursue love and desire spiritual gifts so this is something again you know it is an expectation it is in prayer where we pursue love and desire spiritual gifts so all these contribute to faith all these help us in our faith walk and develop our faith so I just wanted to share these scriptures thank you thank you person Nancy and Pastor Jay Kumar did that help Persodia answer your question that helped me okay thank you so much for your question anyone else has any questions yes Krisha good morning all the respected pastors I have one question and it's related to a different religion as my parents are unbelievers and so in this year one or two two three times it has happened that they kept a puja in ma in the house and apparently we had many guests and I couldn't be rebellious about it and I had to sit in that puja but in my heart I was like praying to God that God please don't get upset with me this is not what I'm I want to do but to just keep like respect my parents I have to sit here I have no nothing to do with it so but I feel very guilty later on that why am I even sitting there because as we read in the Old Testament God only get like mostly he gets upset when you know they used to pray to some other gods but in my heart I'm like never praying to those gods so what should I do about this situation thank you for your question Krisha and can any of our faculty help in answering Krisha's question or her struggle in life past upon like to add something but on this Mr. Paul is not there no he's okay anyone like to help Krisha I can only give my opinion on this and then of course you know if anyone else has something to add that would be really helpful but it's just that you know we who live in cultures where idol worship is like a part of the everyday life for many many people we find ourselves in homes in situations where we are not followers of these other idols anymore but then we have family members who are still following them and also we may be you know in setups cultural setups where we work in those places where such things are being done and so in such situations I think you know more than anything the Lord very clearly is looking at the heart of each person and when he sees his follower holding on to their right heart attitude I think the Lord does honor that he does take note of that because I'm just reminded of that Old Testament story in 2 Kings chapter 5 where you have Naaman who experiences a great miracle his leprosy is completely healed and he realizes that this Yahweh is the true God the living God and so he decides that when he goes back to his kingdom and he continues working over there under his you know he didn't king he decides that he's going to take mud from the land of Israel and build an altar to Yahweh in his land and make sacrifices in future only to the living God Yahweh to nobody else so very clearly he makes a commitment to become a follower of the Lord and over there he says in 2 Kings chapter 5 and in verse 17 so in 17 he makes his commitment and says I will only make sacrifices to the Lord God exactly as he instructed he said I should take mud and make an altar to him so I will use the Israelite mud and make a commitment to make sacrifices to the Lord and in the next verse he says you see my job my duty is such that I would have to accompany my old king into the temple because he cannot walk on his own and you can't just have some helper coming and doing that because the king is supposed to be a very big person and so this minister this very very important commander he would have to take the king into the temple so he would literally be going into the temple with the king and he says when that king bows down I have no choice because I'll be the one holding him and so I will also have to bend down in front of that idol and he says over there but may the Lord pardon your servant on one account because he says later on in that same verse when I do bow down in the house of Ramon with the Lord pardon your servant on this one count you know so and then the prophet to whom he's posing this question the prophet says go in peace so Naaman circumstances for such that he really didn't have much of a choice you know so you probably because of your home situation are forced to sit over there but then the Lord will honour you for your attitude you know in your heart where you are holding on to him a chance may come for you one day when you know you will have greater freedom and you can you know stand up and say no I think Deepika's connectivity is a little a big part of the puja at all help you yeah yeah that's a that's all I had to say thank you oh thank you Deepika we just lost you in the last bit can you please repeat what you said in the last bit please because we couldn't hear you your connection was a little bad or no I think okay I don't know I was just saying that the conclusion get an opportunity to move away we should you know but then right now she may not be able to move away from her home because of circumstances so as long as she's in that home she would have to adjust a bit but yeah her heart would need to stay very true to the Lord yeah thank you very much Pastor Deepika any of the any of the other pastors would like to help Trisha in her situation what she's going through yes Pastor Nez yes thank you Krisha for sharing you know about this incident and Pastor Deepika for sharing your thoughts I just wanted to add so as Pastor Deepika said when our conscience is clear and our circumstances are such you know God definitely understands so you know don't condemn yourself over what what has happened but another passage in 1st Korithit chapter 8 it talks about how you know believers when they have knowledge and this is in a different context it's in the context of eating food offered to idols so there Paul says that when you know the the food offered to idols it cannot defile us okay but then when we know that others are in knowledge of the fact that we are believers for the sake of the weaker brother don't eat the food offered to idols so basically it's a question of testimony so with this passage in mind you can read the entire passage actually 1st Korithit chapter 8 what I want to say is whenever possible Krisha in these circumstances if we can stand out if we can make a choice you know to say okay I will not be able to participate in this or something like that I think that would be a good thing to do that would be a good thing to do but I but I understand that you know currently you're not able to do that that's fine but hopefully in the future as Pastor Deepika said circumstances are a little different than you can take your stand it'll always be good to to move away from you know these practices because people know you as a believer so it's an opportunity to to have a testimony before people that we say no you know to participate in a program or maybe eating the food which is offered to other gods and things like that so yeah I hope that helps Krisha thank you thank you Pastor Nancy did that help answering your question or your and situation that you that you will face in the future as well Krisha yes yes person thank you okay thank you thank you Pastor Deepika and Pastor Nancy anyone else has any questions please feel free to ask us questions you can unmute your mics or even post it on the chat section so Asha Rani has a question in times of persecution what are the ways can we keep our Christian faith in Christ Jesus safe and also stay strong okay so her question is in times of persecution what are the ways can we keep our Christian faith in Jesus Christ safe and also stay strong anyone like to answer this question and one second Deepika the question is in times of persecution what are the ways that we can keep our Christian faith in Jesus Christ safe and also stay strong so I think one a few things that we could do is you know if you have the opportunity to read God's word you can read God's word because God's word is life it strengthens it encourages us it gives us the hope it gives us the peace that we need but if you are in a situation where we can't can't even read God's word then maybe you know we can just pray in the spirit you know quietly because no one can take that away from us we can you know speak to God we can pray we can pray in the spirit so that our inner man our inner spirit man is edified we get our strength from the Lord we get encouragement we get hope we can experience this tangible presence and also we know at these times you know God can just remind us of scripture passages that can just come into our spirit man in our minds that can really uplift us that can really strengthen us and build us up so these are some of the things that we can do and we also have the assurance Jesus said you know when you're when you're facing persecution do not fear because the Holy Spirit will help you to answer to then give you the right words show you what you need to do what you need to say and how you need to answer so I think these are a few things that we could do and that's why it's so important for us to read God's word memorize God's word because there will be a time when we won't have the Bibles in our hand and you know at that time all that we have read scripture will just come back to us in our situations will speak to us will edify us strengthen us and build us up and the other thing we can also do is you know when we are going to persecution there's a lot of bitterness and anger and hatred against those who are persecuting us so you know when when those emotions rise up there's fear there's anxiety those emotions rise up then you know we we don't have the peace in our heart and our mind to hear from God what he's telling us how he's encouraging us I know it's a difficult stand and a position to take but you know just pray for those who are persecuting you or you know those who persecuting believers pray that God will open their eyes pray that you know whatever you say we'll just also minister to them speak to them and strengthen them because you know the joy of the Lord will be our strength and we see Paul you know when they were beaten up and persecuted and beaten up and thrown into prison you know what did they do what did Paul do he was you know praising God singing hymns and praising God and it's you know in a difficult situation like that you know he was was willing to just praise God just worship him and we know what happened later on so we see that even though Paul went through persecutions what strengthened him was his faith in God his the assurance that God is with him the calling that he had to just pursue that calling to just walk in that faith walk and you know just to know that God is there with him okay anyone else likes to add to Asha Rani's question I just want to read the scripture which is acceptor four and you know acceptor four which is actually a prayer by the church acceptor four 29 I guess 29 onwards so here we see that Peter and John they've been arrested and they've been they've been released but they've been threatened not to preach Jesus so when they got together and then they prayed with all the disciples so this is what they prayed they prayed I'm just reading from verse 29 acceptor four now Lord look on their threats and grant your servants that with all boldness they may speak your word by stretching out your hand to heal and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your Lord servant Jesus through your holy servant Jesus and when they had prayed the place where they were assembled together was shaken and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they spoke the word of God with boldness you know so such a very radical bold move they they kind of dug in deep you know when they were facing this threats they they dug in deep in in God and and as a result of just praying for the persecutors praying for the church and this is what they prayed saying Lord you stretch out your hand to heal and signs and wonders may be done through your name let the supernatural be made manifest and it says that the place that they had prayed was shaken and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they preached the word of God with boldness to God really answered that you know so I think that's that's one thing to do to to pray for the church which is being persecuted people who are being persecuted for ourselves and to pray for the persecutors also to intercede for them and and I'm sure that you know they did that the church did that for Saul and we see the changed life the transformation with the sovereign move of God you know Paul and became one of the greatest apostles planting churches and so on so we can pray for our persecutors and it's definitely it's it's not an easy thing and like what Pastor Selina mentioned in Acts chapter 16 you know one is prayer the other one is the worship worship really changes us transforms us and changes our focus we are focusing on God who's our deliverer who's our healer who's our you know the one who's a bondage breaker so and we see in Acts chapter 16 verse 25 but at midnight Paul and Silas were singing praying and singing hymns to God and the prisoners were listening to them and we saw the breakthrough intended by the Lord so just these two things came to my mind I'm just sharing that thank you thank you Pastor Jay Kumar anyone else would like to add to Asharani's question Asharani, what are those thoughts helpful? I was actually scared of the what is this all the Christian history which there is market for price I was a little scared of market and yeah so here and Pastor Jay, thank you so much thank you thank you Asha so the the incident I was talking about Pilate Paul and Silas in prison so max chapter 16 verses 16 to 40 thank you also for Pastor Jay Kumar for sharing the reference okay anyone else has any questions questions can yes Klisha actually it's a more of a situation ma'am so last year I got saved in a church and I'm a little discouraged actually because that church has dissolved I'm very much discouraged actually so the reason why I'm discouraged is because the pastor who was taking this church apparently was a little hypocrite which I got to know now recently he and his wife were like were my they became my like mentors when I started going there because I got saved there and everything was great and I all these months I was going there and now just this month past month I got to know that they will not be taking church anymore and I got to know that his wife and pastor they both have separated and he had an affair with one of the one of the females who was coming to the church and I'm actually in a shock because Bible says something else about pastors and teachers and I am not able to like you know they handle the situation very well so I just really need your guidance how to go about the situation ma'am pastors yeah thank you for sharing Klisha and again any of our faculty help Klisha but she's going to presently anyone Pasadipika like to share something well yeah it's a very painful shock when we you know have someone has been a blessing to us and they have mentored us they have guided us and suddenly we find out something about them and we realize that they were presenting one side to us and then there is another hidden side and it hurts it feels like such a betrayal it feels so painful so I can you know in a way to a small extent relate to what you must be feeling you especially must be feeling into a much greater extent because they were like a family to you so but I'm going to show goes to show right that everyone it doesn't matter what kind of a calling God has placed on their lives we are all equally responsible to him on how we choose to walk with him on a daily basis because sorry Pasadipika we can't hear you Jesus said you got to take up your cross every day follow him anymore and so they become very slack in their attitude and one lesson that we can learn from this is that we need to be very much careful on our guard never grow overconfident always stay connected to him in prayer in studying the word so that the Holy Spirit can get a chance to you know go on correcting us and you know reminding us of his scriptures and his standards so that we can hold on to the Lord and not make this mistake that we see so yes I mean it does happen to me as well I've seen some leaders fall and it hurts more than anything else because you see you trusted them and you opened up to them and now you see that they had another side to them all together and that hurts it really hurts at a personal level but it also helps us to learn it's like a warning so that we don't fall the way they fell and so we just realized that all are human and all are at risk if they do not hold on to the spirit and walk instead Deepika we lost you again on a day-to-day basis that are so vital through this sorry for interrupting we lost you where you said you know we have to walk in the spirit we lost you yes we need to stay in step with the spirit on a day-to-day basis like it says in Galatians 5 because otherwise we would fall away so his leading on a day-to-day basis is vital and so now even as you are being led by his spirit on a day-to-day basis he knew about this he knew this painful thing would happen in your life so he has already made plans you know there is another place that he will lead you to where you will find fellowship once again where you know you can have that mentoring and guidance and people who will be there to support you in prayer you God will help you lead you to other places other groups you know where you can have your fellowship and you can continue to grow so you know you can just keep that in prayer that the Lord would bring you in in touch with people you know who can you know then that way you would get to know about maybe another church or another fellowship group where you can join so ask the Lord say Lord this has happened it's something painful but Lord now now you lead me to a new place where I can find good fellowship and when you go there you'll probably have that at the back of your mind now how am I to trust people you know because you have been betrayed how do I trust is what you would be asking Deepika we lost you again the Lord is someone you know who takes care the volume went or something yes we lost you again I'm very sorry this connection must be bad I'm very very sorry no worries we lost you where you said about betrayal you know you would be you feel betrayed again when you go to yeah so the question which comes up is now how am I to trust this new group of people you know that's just a thought that comes along so what we can do in a situation like that is you know Lord I trust you you're the one you know you're the person who will never change you're the same yesterday today and forever so Lord I believe that you will lead me to people who will be there for me you know true people who walk in the faith true people who can bless me and help me true people with whom I can you know enjoy fellowship so just look to him trust him and he will help you to find a group of people who can really give you the support and fellowship that you need and just because you know we go through bad experiences it does not mean that we will go through them again and again and again no some things God allows as a learning experience some things God allows us because he knows that you know in him through him we will have the strength to overcome that terrible thing so God allowed it now he will strengthen you he will help you to overcome that you will come out of this stronger you will come off come out of this wiser but do not think that this is going to happen again and again no because the Lord wants you to have fellowship he wants you to enjoy the church he wants you to have people who can speak into your life so he will take you to good people trust him look to him and he will guide you to who you know into which church you can go to and which fellowship you can be part of so he will lead you out of this he will lead you into a new place where you're where you will be healed you will be able to you know trust once again and you will be able to have a wonderful fellowship with people and walk with the Lord so you do have a good future ahead you do not have to have to worry that you will always be betrayed yeah you do not have to have that worry at all you know you don't need to walk in fear at all thank you thank you so much pastipika any of the other faculty would like to share your thoughts your insights on this anyone yes pasti serena just a small thing actually pastipika has covered everything so as she was saying yeah trust in the Lord I just want to encourage you krisha trust in the Lord see we we know that in the body of christ we we are called to have you know good relationships with people because this body is about people and about you know walking together growing together in the Lord so that is a given but over and above that you know I just want to emphasize and I'm posting this passage for you verse in the chat section Hebrews chapter 12 verse 2 so I was reminded of it basically verse 2 it says looking unto Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith so ultimately okay ultimately our faith and our trust has to be on the Lord Jesus so our faith is based on him so yes we we need good relationships we need good mentors but if ever something happens and we notice that you know somebody is fallen away that should not you know we in other words we should not let that affect our faith because our focus is the Lord Jesus and our faith is based on him and he is unshakable he is perfect so just that one thought krisha to really fix our eyes on Jesus he is the author of the finisher of our faith thank you thank you Pastor Nancy just want to encourage you krisha we're saying that you know people are not perfect there's we all are imperfect we all fall so you know it's an important thing that we understand this and also know that you know people are not always going to be there for us or even help us so like Pastor Nancy said you know we need to fix our eyes on you know Jesus the author perfected the finisher of our race and that is what even Jesus did when he lived out here on this earth you know he saw the crowds at one point of time you know saying Hosanna and you know waving palm branches casting putting their cloaks down and Jesus entered Jerusalem in a triumphal entry he was there with his disciples and you know they promised to be with him till the very end but you know they all deserted him when when he was you know arrested and we also see the same crowd that just you know said Hosanna and praised him and you know the same crowd said crucify him and released to us by Rabbis so you know God also knows what is in the heart of man so but we see that Jesus focused his eyes were never on the people even though he came to save us his he did not look for affirmation he didn't look for honor he didn't look for respect from them he didn't look you know to them and what where you know what they were thinking about him but he always looked up to his father he always true strength from his father and that's why it says in many places in the gospel where it says that Jesus withdrew by himself to a quiet place because he spent time with the father so it's you know it's a good learning for us even as you know you just stepped into your faith work with God not to look at people but to look at God always you know and you know his word should be the one that is actually mentoring you guiding you leading you strengthening you your your time with him that you spend in prayer is a time when you know he strengthens you and I think that's a it's a good lesson to learn early in life though it's painful and difficult but that's something that will sustain you for the rest of your life because when you go to difficult situations trust me you know instead of falling back on people you can just go straight to God you can just trust him you can just follow him he becomes your father your friend your companion your counselor your guide and you will see that you actually don't need anyone else because he's more than sufficient he's more than enough for you and that's what you know Jesus experience himself and so it's a good and a difficult learning but I know the pain and struggle that comes along with it but you know it's good to learn this in your early work with God and also pray for your pastor and for you know his wife and pray for the church you know just pray for God's peace for people to be strengthened that the people in the church will not walk away and you know God has a fellowship like you can be built and strengthened and even as you step into that fellowship you're not looking for care and for nurturing but you're coming to a place because you're already receiving care and being nurtured spiritually by God you're in a place where you are going to be you know nurturing others strengthening others in their faith and building them up and I think this is what maybe God is leading you or you know guiding you to okay so did that help Prisha? It helped a lot thank you all the buses thank you so much we'll be praying for you Prisha and for your church as well and the pastor and his wife thank you Pasti Pikan Pasanasi for your thoughts. Siddiquan who has a question says you know regarding the decline of Christianity like if you see in the statistics in the USA in 2015 it was 96% of Christianity now in 2021 it's 47% and in India for a long time it's only around 0.03% according to my research done people in the western countries which were considered as Christian Asians they are following Hindutva and Islam. I want to know if there is something we are lacking behind or something because in a recent interview a well-known Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr said I have started flowing in Hinduism because I found a way of spirituality what should be done in these cases when our Christianity is declining. So Rosalind says Christianity is not declining brother don't go with the stats the others at work the Holy Spirit is swimming like never before and watch few videos on YouTube where Muslim brothers and sisters have received Jesus Christ as their personal savior. Yes so like any of our faculty like to add your thoughts on this anyone. I think it's about once in 10 years that here in India they take the census and that's when the statistics get you know put up for the different religious segments and yes the percentage has been sitting there at a low thing and in a way it's good because it kind of hides the reality because a lot of people don't formally you know go out there and you know re-register themselves as belonging to the Christian faith but because I personally know a whole bunch of people who are now strong believers in the Lord but out there in the official you know forms they have not changed it it was just simply draw unnecessary attention to them so the so do not ever think that here in India I know the kingdom of God is not flourishing it is it's a lot of people are coming to the Lord a lot of lives are being changed and it's good that the statistics are showing something else it kind of you know gives us a little bit of leeway so it's fine because you know there's a great power in this gospel and Jesus talks about the kingdom of God in Matthew chapter 13 verse 31 you know he talks about where he compares the kingdom of heaven to a mustard seed and he says over there it's such it's a smallest of all seeds but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree so that the the birds of the air come and nest in its branches so there are a lot of people in India who are nesting in the you know branches of the kingdom of God and they belong to different faiths and it's very beautiful to see the work that the Lord is doing yes it is true many have still been unreached here in India but then you know there are many churches praying for this working towards it so that even these people groups can be reached so the Lord really knows what he's doing his work is going on and his army is like all equipped and ready and there's a lot happening it just doesn't show up in the official statistics which is really good because it allows us to do our work unhindered so I think it's the same probably in other countries as well I do not know much about the other countries Sam says not sure thank you Pasadipika so sorry thank you Pasadipika Sam says not sure how reliable are these statistics Sikkim estate in northeast India has seen a significant rise in Christianity in the last 10 years at a point where the recent government felt the need to intervene and find out why is it so thank you Samuel for sharing so I think you're like Pasadipika said and the Sam Samuel and Roslyn also said you know Christianity is you know just spreading people are believing in Jesus Christ but yeah they don't go and change their you know their religion in the papers so to say the paperwork that they have that you know they are no more Hindus or Muslims they're Christians now because you know that can hinder them from receiving the benefits being thrown out of their religious society and all of those things but many people many villages are beginning to accept the Lord Jesus as a revival if you look at America yeah there's a lot of you know philosophies that are prevailing there Hinduism that is growing but the same time there is a revival that's happening the churches there in the US are praying and they are ministering and lives are being touched so what I think Siddiq you know you have a burden if I'm not wrong you've already shared this before as a question so I think I was just basically steering up your heart so you can just pray that you know in the nations like in European nations and America North America and South America you know just
