THE
PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AMONGST THE BHIL ADIVASI WOMEN
Being illiterate and unaware
of modern fashion, the Bhil adivasi women lead a very simple
life. But the believer women shower their love and affection
upon Jesus. They stand in the gap and pray fervently that their
own people would be saved.
The fasting prayer meeting organized by the
wives of the native workers is named as Nissi Prayer Group.
These women gather themselves into many groups and involve in
fasting prayers. This kind of fasting prayer takes place on
the first Friday of every month in Madhya Pradesh, on the
second Friday of every month in Gujarat, and on the third
Friday of every month in Rajasthan. They believe in the
slogan, “Prayer brings victory” and act in accordance with it.
Moreover, every evening the women working in the office at
Jalod pray for one hour so that a great revival would come up
amidst the Bhil adivasi people.
Even the illiterate women, who were saved
and spirit-baptized, attempted to read the Holy Bible with much
ambition. God helped them achieve their ambition. He granted
them sufficient knowledge. Now they read Bible well. The wives
of around 375 native workers co-operate with the anointed
workers and give a helping hand in their ministries. These
people who possess no worldly knowledge and wisdom see visions.
Some of them have seen the map of India in their vision and
offered themselves to pray for India with much burden. In some
villages, people have received visions such as fire falling upon
their villages, big churches being constructed etc. They abide
in Christ strongly, and are making steady progress in their
spiritual lives. Not only that. The wives of most of the
servants of God have been filled with grace to stand in the gap
and groan and weep for the unsaved souls.
Thus, the Bhil adivasi women are making
steady growth in their prayer life, in reading the Word, in the
anointing, and in giving offerings. Definitely, there is not an
iota of doubt that through the prayers of these Bhil adivasi
women, even amongst the Bhil people, the Lord would bring about
a massive revival.
