Hi all,
Please pray for India, for its people and the government. Especially pray for the believers and the church, when the environment may be tough for the church. As we see in the Old Testament about the election of King Nebuchadnezzar to rule Jerusalem, the real unfolding of the plans of God came later as revealed in the book of Daniel.

Please pray that even in these times the believers may gather and pray for boldness in the Gospel, as was prayed by the church in the New Testament and may boldly proclaim the gospel (Acts 4:23-31). There be mighty prayer warriors and intercessors that come up and pray for the nation and its people. There may be someone, somewhere praying for the nation at all times.
- As Joseph whom God used to save his family from starvation.
- As Abraham who interceded for Sodom to save Lot. .
- As the psalmist who prays mighty prayers in moment of desperation.
- As Esther who interceded to save the nation from annihilation.
- As Paul who prayed for the church.
- As Gideon whom God used to battle the Midianites.
- As Nehemiah who built the broken walls, amidst crisis.

Please pray for India. We pray for the believers in India, that more and more people come to the Lord, be filled by the Holy spirit and find salvation. That the believers may be in fire to spread the gospel, and work towards the expansion in the Kingdom of God. That God may bring many out of poverty and distress and give them his peace by his Holy spirit. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields. (Matt 9:38).

That new churches may be established and as God used the Governments in the Scriptures for his plans, he may also use the present government and the circumstances for his plans and purposes. Pray for eyes of the people of India may be opened to the Gospel. Also pray that the affairs of our country are governed by God's mercy and justice, not by man's will including our institutions, judiciary and the constitution.
Please keep in remembrance few facts from the book of Exodus when Israelites were in Egypt, in bondage, while praying for the church and also for the unsaved.
- God heard the cry of the Israelites when they were in bondage. Exo 3:9-10
- God judged Pharaoh the ruler and also Egypt for his hardness. Exo 7:3-5
- God judged the God's of Egypt. Exo 12:12
- God brought the Israelites to the promised land. Exo 13:5
- God also promised to increase the Israelites over the Hivites, Canaanites and the Hittites with conditions. Exo 23:23-33
Amen

I was reading on Christians in India, and came to these:

Since 2014, India has risen 11 spots on Open Doors’s World Watch List, and last year the advocacy group said that more than 12,000 Christians were attacked. However, at the same time—Indian Christians leaders like Vijayesh Lal remain convinced that church growth is outpacing persecution.

And Christianpost says:
Over 1,400 incidents of persecution against Christians in India have been reported since the year Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party rose to power, according to an initiative of ADF India.

Lord, we bring to You India, its believers, as well as the peoples being reached by Your Word. Have mercy on this country, and hear the prayers of those who stand in the gap, kneeling down at Your feet, personally reaching out to the lost there, or supporting in whatever way You lead to. In the mighty name of our Lord Yeshua.
