“Your Will Be Done, As In Heaven, So Also On Earth”
Today the power of God is limited to our capacity, and it is subject to our will, submission, obedience, and faith. (Week 3 outline, I.A.2)
The Lord is looking for members of His Body who will be fully responsive to Him and in whom the limitations to His will are removed. (Week 3 outline, I.C.2)

Chandigarh, India
Lord’s Day, February 10, the church in Chandigarh enjoyed its first Lord’s Table. We started with sharing concerning the significance of the Table. Following a very full Lord’s Table meeting, the church in Chandigarh also had its first prophesying meeting with mostly local saints sharing their testimonies and specific experiences from the last two weeks. There was a clear sentiment expressed by many concerning the need to take a strong stand for the oneness of the Body in the face of opposition. Afterwards, we sang 1226 “Oh, the church of Christ is glorious” followed spontaneously by all the local saints repeatedly declaring, “We are One” in Hindi.
Thank you for your prayer! About 120 saints were present, 50-60 of whom were local Chandigaris contacted within the two weeks prior to February 10. The brothers agreeing to take the lead to care for the church had a meeting that night. In the following weeks, brothers from nearby localities will be taking turns to visit, shepherd, and perfect the saints there.
Please continue to pray for knitting together, shepherding, and perfecting of the church in Chandigarh. Pray also for the Lord to show them where to meet on Lord’s Days, and for the locals to continue to visit the other positive ones contacted in the past two weeks.
