Preface

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

My autobiographical testimony in my mother tongue, Malayalam, was published on 15 Nov 2020. I am grateful for the wide acceptance received and hence, decided to translate the same into English for the benefit of everyone.

I was very glad to learn that some of the younger generations were touched by reading parts of my Christian testimony on Facebook. This inspired me so much to write a full account of how I became a partaker of the salvation and eternal life made available to mankind through Jesus Christ.

The content of this book is completely true and facts that really happened in my life. I have not used any sort of imagination or fantasies in writing this book.

Having died for the remission of the sins of mankind, buried and risen on the third day, Christ Jesus said this before being taken up to the Father in Heaven; "But when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you shall be strengthened, and shall be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." (Acts 1: 8, 9)

Jesus motivated His disciples to travel with His teachings to all the nations by saying, “Be my witnesses." For a person saved in Christ Jesus, his first testimony must be how he was saved by faith in Christ Jesus and inherited eternal life in God.

For a long, I wished to write my testimony of how and in what situation I have accepted Christ Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. God, Almighty strengthened me with His abundant grace to write my Christian testimony accurately and time-bound.

I appeal and encourage you to read this book carefully from the beginning to the end and to pray with me to arrive at a new decision

May God Bless you abundantly.

Love of God our Father, Grace of the Son Lord Jesus Christ, and the presence and abiding of the Holy Spirit be with you ever and ever. Amen

1. Family, Birth, Childhood, Adolescence.

I would like to begin writing my testimony by introducing all the families connected with me in order to remember them to express my attitude of gratitude and to praise God for each one of them.

I was born on Sunday, the 19th of February 1967 to Mr. MA Varughese (Pappachen Sir), Kottiyanil Meppurathu, Maramon and Mrs. Marykkutty Varughese. My elder sister is Mrs. Aneena Ambookken, Poyya, Mala, Trissur and my younger brother is Mr. Anil Varughese, Kottiyanil, Maramon.

My maternal grandfather is Sri. MM Thomas (Bhavaan Kunjachen) of Maalathra Muthumarathil, Cherukol, and maternal grandmother is Smt. Sosamma Thomas of Vadakkanethu, Mannar. My paternal grandfather is Mr. MT Abraham Sir (Kunjanchen), Kottiyanil, retired headmaster of Little Flower LP School, Maramon, and my paternal grandmother is Smt. Annamma Abraham of Lenkaththara, Kalleli, Pathanamthitta.

Although my parents were born and brought up as Marthomites, they were members of the Little Flower Malankara Syrian Catholic Church, Chettimukku Parish, when I was born.

I was baptized as a child in April 1967 by the much-respected Rev.Fr. Andrews Puththanparampil, who is resting in Christ. I was administered the Holy Eucharist for the first time on Sunday the 2nd October 1976 by the Metropolitan of Thiruvalla Diocese, Zacharias Mar Athanasius.

I was so much attracted to the liturgy and services of the church, Since my childhood. The parish vicar, most respected Cor Episcopa Mathew Karimpil Malpan, who is resting in Christ now, called me into the Madbaha (The Holiest Place) of the church for training at the age of 10 years. He then appointed me as the main minister-boy (Kappiar) at the age of 12 years. The desire to become a priest filled my heart since childhood. But, when I expressed my desire to join the seminary after qualifying for the Pre-Degree course, he advised me to study further and earn a job to look after the family and then choose my life path as per guidance from God.

I did my Pre Degree, first group, in the evening batch of St. Thomas College, Kozhencherry during 1982-84, MMA High School, Maramon in 1979-82, AMM UP School, Maramon in 1976-79 and Little Flower LP School, Maramon in 1972-76. I fondly remember my Nursery Mistress, Mrs. Mary teacher, Maramon Ashaatti who taught me Malayalam alphabets, Eraviperoor Annamma teacher, Kuriyannoor George Sir, Kumbanad Mariamma teacher, Maramon Mathai Sir, Rahoor Deenamma teacher, and Amayil Saramma teacher who taught from 1st to 4th standard in Little Flower LP School, Maramon.

2. Higher Education, Employment and Retirement.

After completing the Pre-Degree Course, I Joined the Indian Naval Aviation in January 1985. On completion of five years of training in Avionics Engineering and then worked for about 10 years. Retired at the rank of Chief Artificer in January 2000. Also did my MBA and Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Application. I had opted for early retirement with the hope of receiving a job as an Aviation Engineer in Gulf Airways, which did not materialize. Hence, I returned to the home and actively involved in parish and church activities, once again.

Continued my studies in the Alternative Medicines, with Homoeopathy as the main subject, which I had begun while serving in the Navy. Finished my studies and acquired a license to practice. Then, started a clinic at Kumbanad Junction for Alternative Therapies and Homoeopathic practice with the help of another Doctor, Dr. Chandramukhi.

At the same time, I also held the positions of parish secretary, president of the parish prayer group and also a position in the laity association of the Diocese of Thiruvalla.

I used to oppose the Pentecostal church practices by all means and did whatever I could to nourish and establish the Malankara Catholic faith in any way I could.

The subject of my studies and preaching at that time was about the Catholic Church. I used to preach that the only authentic church of God on earth is the Catholic Church and salvation and remission of sins are possible only through the Catholic Church. I used to claim that only the Catholics would be raptured at the return of Christ Jesus.

Married Ms. Asha of Maryvilla, Hebbal, Bangalore; daughter of Mr. PK Philipose, Palakkuzhiyil, Payyappadi, Puthuppally, Kottayam and Mrs. Mariamma Philopose, Kannamkara, Adoor. We are blessed with two children, the elder is Alice, our daughter and the younger is Alvin, our son. We live in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

We are now, members of the IPC Elim, Kumbanad church, since August 2013. I am the appointed Mentor Minister of Christian Leaders Institute, Michigan (USA) to the UAE. I am also the Pastor-in-Charge of Bethania Gospel Ministry, a ministry entrusted to us by God.

3. Hearing the Gospel.

On 06th February 2000, while I was returning home from Mumbai by train after retirement, my reservation was in A/C second class. When the train reached Ernakulum, I had a feeling to go to a sleeper coach and interact with people for a time pass. As I reached a sleeper coach and made friendship with few people there, I watched a man clothed in full white, walking to and fro in the compartment, watching me every now and then. After some time, he came and sat opposite to me and introduced himself as Pr. Simon P. Jacob, Pastor of a Church in Kottarakkara. He then began to talk to me about general topics and slowly switched to Biblical subjects. He spoke to me about Salvation. As I was so irritated with the Pentecostals, at that time, I began to argue with him. Everyone around us joined me and he was singled out. But, still, he continued to speak to me on Biblical subjects, until we reached Chengannur. He also alighted with me there and followed me requesting me to accept Jesus and be saved. I was in a rage with him and shouted at him with fury. He went away murmuring “God will get yourself out from that basket, one day”.

4. Jesus Christ Appears in a Vision.

On 14th August 2005, early morning, the face of the Glorified Christ Jesus appeared to me in a vision after I was awakened by a nightmare. The face was of a 30-35 year, with the pleasant face of wheatish complexion. Glaring and lively eyes with copperish beautiful irises. Thick curly hair, beard and mustache. Each strand of hair was glowing and spreading colourful light due to the powerful light from multi coloured suns glowing behind the head. I am unable to explain the phenomenon in words more than these. It is Inexplicable.

With a good smile, He said to me “Son, do not be afraid. I am with you. Do not be worried”. I could feel that He was calling me to His ministry. But, I thought it is just a psychological feeling. Also, when I explained this to our parish vicar, he said, these are just some feelings you had. Never mind it.
I was surprised to meet those strangers, a husband and wife, whom I saw in my dreams that night, in Abu Dhabi in 2014. I thank God for they are in the Divine Ministry as a whole family.

This was the dream. As I was preaching the gospel and traveling on foot in a strange village, a woman who was standing in front of a house invited me into the house, requesting to share the Gospel with her husband and pray for him. As I entered the house, I saw her husband on his bed, lying paralyzed. I shared the Gospel with him and as I was praying over him, he quickly jumped up and tried to attack and kill me and I suddenly woke up scared. It was while lying in a state of fear, the most glorious light struck my eyes and I saw the vision.

5. Repentance.

On Sunday, February 18, 2007, the day I turned 40 years, an event took place that marked a turning point in my spiritual life. As the president of the church prayer meeting, I got up to preach in the absence of the vicar in a collective prayer meeting held at the church that day. When I opened the Bible, I found, Exodus chapter 20, verse 4: "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the water."
Until that moment, I had bowed down to the statue, burned incense, and supported the making of the statue by the teachings of the Church Fathers. Hence, I closed the Bible and opened it again for another verse. But, I was surprised to see the book of Deuteronomy chapter 5 verse 8. “Do not make an idol for yourself. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth”.

I felt strong courage building up within me as if someone was urging me to read it loud and preach. But, as I began to read the verse and preach that the making of images and its veneration are wrong based on the teachings of the Holy Bible, a few of the elders interrupted me shouting, satan has entered me. The prayer meeting was ended and after everybody left the place, this thought haunted me. “When, I have read and preached the Holy Bible which the Church believes to have authored by the Holy Spirit, if the people who have loved me until then says, it was satan who spoke through me, then there is something to study about”.

I decided to study the Holy Bible systematically since then and as I began to read and study, I have realized that whatever I have been doing for many years are against the teaching of the Holy Bible.

After the Good Friday services in April 2007, while I was alone in the church, I prayed to God this way. “Lord, I have realized in what a situation I am now. I am unable to get out all these myself. Please, save me from this bondage”.

6. Salvation while in Abu Dhabi.

God answered my prayer in December 2007.

Based on an application submitted by my brother in NPCC, Abu Dhabi, I was offered a job to train their engineers. I have handed over all my responsibilities in the parish church and the diocese, and handed over my clinic and patients to another Dr. Chandramukhi and reached Abu Dhabi on 24 December and reported to the job.

I began to visit St. Joseph catholic church in Abu Dhabi, often and also took part the Malankara Catholic liturgy with great interest. Even then, I maintained heartful of vengeance to the Pentecostals. I was a slave to the thought that only the Catholics will enter the Heaven after death.
On 09 December 2009, Wednesday, I went to the church and part took the Holy Eucharist. On the way back, I bought some good whisky and cigarettes to celebrate a long weekend and reached back to my room. After some time, while I was preparing to relax, I heard a soft voice, calling me from a distance. This was the voice I heard, “Anson, you are a sinner. Repent and turn back to God”.

This call annoyed me and I could not accept it because I have always had a prideful thought that I am a saint, living without doing any big sin. I have again heard the voice, “Anson, your sins have distanced yourself far away from me. Repent and turn back”. This time it was a command.

I have responded, “I have just been to the church, confessed my sins and part took the holy Eucharist. All my sins have been forgiven. If, you are true, then reveal to me my sins”.

The moment I stopped, I began to see in front of my eyes, as if seeing a movie in theatre, all those sins I have committed and forgotten since the age I could discern good and bad. The moment I closed my eyes, all those sins I had confessed to the priests and did all penances began to appear in front of me. I have deeply undertook that none of those sins were forgiven. I have also remembered the Bible verse that, it is the Holy Spirit who brings into a man, realization of his sins.

On the third day, that is, on 12th December 2009, I fell on my face in my room and cried for forgiveness of my sins and accepted Christ Jesus as my Savior and Lord. I then took a strong decision, “If I continue to live, I shall live the rest of my life for the Christ who saved me by convincing me of my sin and helping me to repent."

Next morning, I woke up seeing a dream about my HOD getting into an unwanted argument with me over an issue that was solved with my sole intervention that could save a lot of time and money for the company. I also saw in the dream that the argument became very hot and I have resigned. Hence, on reaching my office 1on 13th morning, I had filled up a resignation form and kept ready. Whatever I saw in the dream happened exactly as it was. I declared to my HOD that I have resigned my job, handing over to him the filled up resignation form, right after the argument. I was offered a promotion and a pay rise to stay on the job. But I was not ready to change my mind. After resigning, I was offered a job with double pay as an engineering manager at a company in Jabel Ali. I decided not to accept that offer, either.

On September 6th 2006, we moved to Thettupara near Pullad, where we had bought a property and built a house. On the morning of January 10, 2010, when I came home with the Bible in my hand, Asha was surprised but when I slowly explained to her everything, she realized that she could not accept it in any way.

Asha, was an Orthodox church believer who was brought up very close to the church, in Bangalore.

7. Get to know the Pentecostals closely.

I never thought, those were the days of suffering, pain and ridicule that awaited me when I returned home as a saved person in Christ Jesus.
My loved ones, relatives and friends all became like strangers. Priests made a concerted effort to bring me back to the church through brainwashing. My family and friends spread a lot of slanders about me.

All I had to say to everyone at that time was, "I am convinced that nothing can take me away from the love of God in my Lord Jesus Christ; not by death or life, nor by angels, or kingdoms, or powers, or by things that are now, or hat are in the high or that are in the low, not by any of the creations of God”

In February 2010, I met my neighbour, Pastor CJ Johnson, and began to attend prayers at the Qadosh Christian Church, in his home. This was the first time my in life, I have associated myself with the Pentecostals. I was ready to be baptized in the same month, but due to strong opposition the Baptism could not take place.

In the month of May 2010, I went to the parish church on the first Sunday and attended the Holy Mass for the last time. After the Mass, I declared publically, "I shall not come to church again."

Although many said many things and tried to counsel me lovingly, but, the truth revealed to me by the Holy Spirit and the realities I experienced through visions did not allow me to change my decision. I have answered everyone with love. That day, I have parted with the sacramental and spiritual relationship with the Catholic Church. At the same time, I still continue my personal love relationships with believers, priests and nuns in the church.

8. Infilling of the Holy Spirit, Baptism.

The following Sundays, I used to drop Asha and children at the parish church, then returned home, closed the room, and began to pray.
On one Sunday, June 27, 2010, while praying on my knees in my room, I was filled with a special power that strengthened and filled me with special joy in my heart. Then, I realized that I was not praying in Malayalam, but in another language I had never heard of. A language almost like Hebrew / Arabic. After that, whenever I was sitting alone for prayer, I started praying in this language. Initially it was hardly four or five words, which gradually increased and I began to pray to God in this language as I normally do in my mother tongue. Later on, I have understood that it was the other tongue that was mentioned by Apostle Paul about believers spoke to God. After praying in this language, I realized that a verse in the Holy Word comes to mind and gets its meaning and interpretation.

On 21 March 2021, I happened to get in contact with a man of God on Facebook. On learning that he s a scholar of Hebrew and Aramaic languages, I shared with him my experience of speaking in unknown tongue. He, then requested me to record my speaking in tongues and send him. I did so and he replied saying I was spoke Aramaic language. He also translated it for me. To my surprise, the translation he gave was the same as the interpretation I had understood.

On September 14, 2010, while riding my scooter, a stranger stopped me on the road and called out. "I have brought you out of the gulf for my work. But you walk un-baptized. Go quickly and be baptized."

Later, I have realized that he was a Prophet whom God had send to remind me about Baptism.

I approached Pastor Johnson, to be Baptized. Considering the situation, we both prayed and agreed that I, be Baptized in the night, in privacy. Hence, on 21 September 2010, at 5:00 am, we reached a faraway place, near Kuriannur, where river Pampa was deep and had more water. Before, stepping into the water, Pr. Johnson prayed to God loud, “Lord, we are unable to do this in public. Please forgive us."

As we went into the water, we heard someone shouting at us, running and coming towards us. (Name Thomas) As he approached, he realized that it was Baptism. He also joined us in prayer. After the Baptism he sat with us on his knees for prayer. Lord then gave me a message about the chronic illness of his elder son and we prayed and retuned home, without disturbing our family who were fast asleep.

9. 40 days of fasting and prayer.

God helped me to observe fasting and praying for 40 days since November 23, 2010. I ate only once a day and spend the whole day in God’s work. With this fasting and prayer, God gave me a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the Holy Bible.

In the meantime, my family at Maramon, prayed the rosary, fasted and made vows to take me back to the Catholic Church. From the first of December 2010, they declared a fasting and prayer for my family house in Maramon for 25 days, during the Christmas lent.

I did not force or blame Asha and our children for living in their beliefs and faith. I myself used to take them to the church to attend the Holy Mass and brought them back.

On the night of 24th of December 2010, on the night of the 25th day of fasting prayer in our Maramon house, Asha was reluctant to go to the church for attending Christmas service because she was convinced that I have chosen the right path. I have urged them to get ready to go to church, to attend the Christmas night service. But, while driving towards the church, when we reached at a Pentecostal place of worship in Chettimukku, where a night service was going on, Asha asked me to stop the car and walked into the prayer service with the children. I have also followed them, in confusion. After the prayer service was over, as I began to drive towards the church, Asha asked me to return back home. She said, she would not like to attend to the church any more. I thanked God in my Heart. We happily returned home. I have attended the night vigil service of the Pentecostal Church in Pullad on 31st December, 2010, with Asha and children. Thank God.

On 6th March 2011, Asha and Alice were baptized at Qadosh Christian Church by Pastor Johnson. Then onwards, we worked together in the field of the Lord. We began to share the gospel with those we knew and interacted with. I remember, one day, while I was sharing the Gospel with a middle-aged Christian man who came to my clinic, in Pullad for treatment, he angrily jumped up to attack me. I was not injured because his wife fell in the middle and stopped him from hitting me. I preached the gospel to the patients who came to my clinic and began to bring them to the church where we were gathered on Sunday.

10. Prophecies, Visions, and Miraculous Healings.

The gifts of the Holy Spirit began to operate in me as I was strengthened by the power of the Holy Spirit. I was blessed with the gifted to see visions during prayers and to explain them others as messages. I would like to narrate a few of those experiences in this testimony.

Pr. Thomas (Not the full name) ministered the Word of God in our Church in Pullad on the first Sunday of June 2011. He was a stranger to me and I saw him for the first time. He was dressed in a humble manner with a juba and pants, torn here and there and was with a very gentle, pleasing attitude. He preached the Word of God with good maturity. He said, he was managing a monthly news paper.

But on Sunday, 12th of June, during the preparation prayer for the Lord's Table, I saw a vision. Pastor Thomas, mentioned above, was seen hiding in the ceremonial attire (Kappa) of a Knanaya Bishop (Metropolitan) and was accepting the Holy Eucharist. There were three bishops, who were known to me. I immediately told this to the pastor, "Pastor, Thomas Pastor is a deceiver. He will definitely go back to the Knanaya church". The pastor pacified me saying "Brother, It may be a silly feeling you had. Forget it".

Miraculously, the next week's issue of his newspaper carried the history of the Church of Knanaya and pictures of those three bishops in it. On June 30, I sent an e-Mail to Pastor Thomas, asking him to repent. A copy of the e-mail is attached here as a proof. I have also preserved the news paper as an electronic copy because I was so sure he would go back to the Knanaya church. It was God who gave me those visions and prophesies.

Later on, Pastor Thomas became very close to our church pastor and they did a lot of spiritual work together. Every time I saw them together, I used to warn our pastor. In July 2013, as the Lord commanded, we, as a family, prepared for full-time evangelism and left the Pullad Church.

Eventually, all the things that I gave as prophetic messengers on this subject happened as it was. The Keralite Christian community is well aware of this.

Let me write one more such vision. At 12:40 am on the last day of the 40-day fasting prayer held at Kumbanad Hebron in 2013, the Lord woke me up and spoke to me and gave me three Bible verses. I had no connection whatsoever with the IPC at the time. God said, "Put on a pair of black pants and a white shirt and go quickly to the Hebron ground. Go to the person the person, you will see sitting on the stage and give him these three verses and rush back”. I reached there by one o'clock. Then the whole night prayer was going on. I saw few brothers and sisters standing up and prophesying. A lean person, who is a servant of God was leading the meeting through the PA system.

I still remember; an elderly sister stood up and shouted out, "I see a serpent power here". Immediately the leading pastor asked, "mother, is it the serpent of Moses or the serpent of Pharaoh?"

I waited there for a while. I saw an elderly Pastor was seated on the stage, watching all these. (I had not known Pastor Jacob John, then) When the meeting calmed down, I went to the Pastor on the stage and said this. "Pastor, my name is Anson. I 'm from Pullad. I' m not an IPC believer. The Lord has just woke me up and handed me some messages. These are the messages the Lord gave me." Then I quickly left the place and came home.

(Later in January 2016, on the 29th day of a fasting prayer presided over by Pastor Jacob John at Hebronpuram, Kumbanad, I glorified God by being invited by chance, to minister the Word of God, as a believer in the IPC.)

Let me write a vision for those who despise the visions and prophetic messages that God gives. In 2013, at a time when many from the churches of God in the grasslands were forcing us to come to our home and join their church, one day while sitting in prayer, the Lord saw a vision like this. A pastor I know very well prays with his hands on a bundle of Rs.500 and a bundle of Rs.1000. Then, I did not understand. That evening, a master, whom I was not very familiar with, came to the house and asked if he could give us some leftover granite from our housework. He said he needed some stone in a poor house where the house was being built. I said, don't give me anything, and take it with you. He took it with him. The next morning, as I was getting ready to go to the clinic, I heard someone open the gate and looked out the window.

The calling bell rang. I opened the door and received him. When he got up to leave after talking heartily for a while, he handed me the note in his hand and said, “Yesterday I left the masonry for one of my needs and bought the stone. I do not have the habit of just buying anything from that person. So this is its price”. I glorified the God who warns me when I spread the net to trap the devil within me. I gladly bought it and used it for my own needs. His prayers were not in vain. Then One day, while attending a prayer meeting, he came to me and said in my ear, "You will join my church in two years." That, too, has not happened seven years another vision given by the Lord in recent times is shared by the Malayalam Christian community as a result. One day in August 2018, while talking to a man who was an assistant pastor at an IPC church in the United States, God showed me a vision. Orthodox priest's robe and hat kept in a wooden cupboard in his house. I immediately informed him of this and he laughed it off lightly. The Malayalam Christian world soon saw that this man had become an enemy of the Pentecostal Church and had converted to the Jacobite Orthodox faith.

The Lord saw many visions like this and the Holy Spirit helped me to transmit them as prophetic messengers. Praise and glorify God. In January of last year, 2020, when I prayed for this year's message of fellowship, God spoke to me, saying, "I am disturbed in the present work of the churches, and of the nations, and of the governments. I am going to divide the whole world. The message I received was fully posted on my YouTube channel on January 15th as proof. YouTube channel by Anson Maramon. (https://youtu.be/b6VfcNOmRx8). That disintegration, unknown to the world until then, took place in April 2020, and is still ongoing. Now, in 2010, I write briefly about a crisis that put me in the greatest crisis and the deliverance that the Lord gave me through a miraculous healing. As I wrote earlier, in January 2010, who was rescued, quit his job and came to Pullad House. Total income, pension from the Navy. In May 2010, my two-and-a-half-year-old son, Alvin, began to feel like he was on fire. As the saying goes, most people back then said, "Mother was angry about the problem of going to Pentecost ... God hit me." A lot of treatments were done. At the same time, severe shortness of breath began. Subsequently, he was admitted to Kozhencherry Children's Hospital. Most antibiotics were injected into both hands, causing sores on both hands. There is no shortage of baby. I ran out of money. Whatever it was, he relied on God to force the baby to be discharged and brought home. We started praying around. Gradually, the burns all burned out over the course of a few days. But there was occasional shortness of breath.

One day in the middle of the night, I woke up to hear Alvin breathing heavily. When he looked at Alvin in the dark, he saw a dark figure pressing Alvin down and trying to kill him. Suddenly, Pastor Johnson was called on the phone and informed. He got up to pray. Asha also woke up. I trusted in Jesus 'blood and began to pray aloud and rebuke him in Jesus' name. Then, the figure left Alvin and turned towards me. For a while I wrestled with that form, praying and rebuking, just as humans wrestle.

Gradually, that look faded away from me and went away. Just then, Alvin began to sleep soundly. Alvin was completely healed. Glory to God. After this incident, Asha's opposition subsided. He often began to ask biblical questions and to listen attentively to answers. However, he reacted strongly to the doctrine of salvation, baptism, and separation.

11. Complete fasting and submission for 21 days.

I have been ordained by God to complete my fast and prayer from May 12, 2013. He drank only green water and fasted and prayed for 21 days. On the morning of the second of June he was consecrated as a servant of the Lord. In June 2011, I wrote to the vicar and secretary of the parish church to have my and my family's names removed from the parish register. Thus, we as a family were completely separated from the parish church.

At 5:30 pm on July 13, 2013, the same voice I had heard in 2009 began to speak to me again. A study of what the true work of God means and prophetic messengers were then given. In the same way, after being saved, I was asked to change some of the decisions I had made without consulting God. Immediately, I approached Johnson Pastor and informed him of this. The Lord encouraged me to do as He said, and He sent me to pray.

12. In Kumbanad IPC Elim.

At this time, people from some of the nearby churches of God were constantly visiting us and forcing us to join their fellowship. But according to the voice that spoke to me, we gathered for Sunday worship in the congregation that the Lord shows us, in the area we choose each week for God's work. We printed and printed a tract and distributed it all over the Pathanamthitta district at crowded bus stops and intersections. We visited homes we were familiar with, preached the gospel and went down to pray. After reading the tract many called and prayed for them and affirmed in the word.

On Saturday, August 10, 2013, Asha and I were praying as a family when we heard a loud "Elim" voice. That same week we selected the Kumbanad area for the distribution of tracts. As I was walking along the tract, I saw a board called IPC Elim and went there. Seeing that there was strong praise and prayer going on, I entered the hall and attended the prayer. When the pastor of the church, the Reverend Pastor Regimon Jacob, gave me the opportunity to testify, I heard the voice of 'Elim' and said that I no longer wanted to gather in this church for worship. He said that for the last six months, the church has been praying specifically for the grasslands. Thank God. Thus we became members of the Kumbanad IPC Elim Church.

We continued to distribute the tract. Distribution has been completed throughout Pathanamthitta district and extended to Kottayam and Alappuzha districts. Meanwhile, Asha got a job at the Good Shepherd English Medium School in Kuriannur. Since the owners of the school were also saved as a family, it was very helpful to be free from evangelism at school.

13. To Abu Dhabi, to serve the Lord.

On August 1, 2013, while traveling through the Kuriannur area, I came across a flex banner hanging on the side of the road telling me that a seven-day fasting prayer was going on in a house. It was the sixth day of fasting and prayer. I had a strong urge to attend that prayer. That evening I searched the place and found myself praying. It was a fasting prayer in the congregation of Captain Samuel, held at the home of Pastor KS Babu. I could not see anyone there as acquaintances. The pastor ministered that day as requested by the pastor. On the seventh day I went in and prayed, and the servant of God (Pastor Unnikrishnan Samuel), who was a complete stranger to me, who was ministering the word, began to say aloud, you were in the Gulf. You, who were earning lakhs of rupees, have resigned your job and returned home. This is your last paycheck. People who see you say that you're losing your job and going on a rampage. But my son, God brought you back to train you in His work.

Finish your training here and get ready to be sent back to where you came from. Not for your work, but for God's work. “I have accepted the message.

In November 2013, a friend called me from Ajit Abu Dhabi and told me to force him to do the job they had arranged for another friend of mine. But this friend of mine backed away from it in time, and the people in Abu Dhabi were in a lot of trouble. I was asked for my opinion on whether to go in. Remembering the message to me, I consented. Arrived in Abu Dhabi on January 4, 2014 and joined Etihad Airways as an Engineer. What I was denied fourteen years ago, when I heard and obeyed the voice of

God, I praise and glorify the God who made it available.

From the five star hotel that was arranged for me to stay, I arrived at the flat in Mussafah Shabiah where I was staying when I was rescued in 2009. I met the same flat owner and yes friends I had before and shared with them the news that God had brought me back. In the room where I was staying when I was rescued, there was a brother from Palakkad. I happily returned to the hotel that day and prayed, "Lord, I have been brought to you for your work. Therefore, make me a suitable accommodation." The next day, my friend called and said that in the room where I used to live, the occupant was moving to Dubai. That's it. That same day I moved there. The flat owner asked me for the same monthly rent as in 2009.

Let me testify to the great truth that God, who four years ago heard the voice of God in my room and fell down and begged for forgiveness, is the living and working

God who brought me into the same room as the humble servant of the Lord.

14. Seminary Studies, Ordination, Ministry.

In July 2014, he began studying theology at the Gilgal Bible Seminary in Sharjah. On November 30, 2017, he completed his studies and graduated. God also made it Possible for him to win the Batch Best Learner Award.

On October 22, 2014, while I was on vacation in the country, while I was praying together, the famous dog anointed prophet in the Lord, Pastor Manu Vadasserikkara (Charisma Church, Kottayam), laid his hands on me and prayed for me to be separated from the ministry.

He was ordained Deacon Minister on September 21, 2015, and then officiated as Minister of Christian Ceremonial Official (Certificate of Marriage, Baptism, and Funeral) from the Christian Leaders' Institute in Michigan, USA, where he has been studying since 2013. He is currently studying for the Chaplain Ministerial Ordinance.

On Wednesday, February 6, 2018, at 10 am, Jesus' voice was heard to begin a ministry called "Bethany Gospel Ministry" to care for the "wounded in the heart." Mark 11 was also instructed to open and read. Later that evening, we discussed the matter with the pastor of the congregation in Mussafah. During the church meeting on Thursday evening, February 08, 2018, a visiting pastor (Pastor Sam Ezhamkulam, Nazareth Gospel Ministry) ministered the Word of God. He began his ministry by asking Mark to open the 11th chapter of Mark. He then began to preach about "Bethany". That was the clear message for starting the ministry. When I discussed the matter with Pastor Jacob Philip, one of my seminary classmates, he agreed to attend the first meeting as a family. Thus, the ‘Bethany Gospel

Ministry’ prayer was dedicated on Friday, February 09, 2018 at 10 am with eight members of two families.

From the very beginning of the ministry, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Pastor Saji Varghese, Bangalore, who took classes for eight days in various places in Abu Dhabi based on the verse, "How beautiful is your sanctuary, Lord." Similarly, Prof. Pradeep Asa Thiruvananthapuram, Pr. Johnson Adimali, Pr. Kuruvila Varghese Andhra Pradesh, Pr. Thanks also to Prince Thomas Haryana and Pr. Biju Maramon.

Dear Jacob Philip, who has been with us since the beginning of the Ministry and is now a permanent resident of New Zealand, would like to express his heartfelt gratitude to the pastor and his family. Now, we would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to all the individuals and families who are actively involved in the ministry.

Pastor Henry Reyanka, Founder Director of the Christian Leaders' Institute in Michigan; I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to KO Mathew and all the teachers who taught me theology in the seminary.

15. Some of the sins revealed by the Holy Spirit.

May God Almighty in Abu Dhabi in 2009, I would like to describe some of the revelations that amazed me in the days when I was exposed to unforgivable and hidden sins that I had committed since adolescence, for the knowledge of those who live in the same sins.

The first revelation was about the idolatry I practiced in the Catholic Church under the nickname of Idolatry. My life was spent memorizing all the passages of scripture that would help me to confront and justify idolatry, which is to say that idolatry is idolatry. In all the rooms where I lived when I was at work, a place was reserved for the placement of statues, rosaries and statues, and for the burning of wicks in front of them, as is the custom of the ordinary Catholic. But the first thing I did after accepting Christ Jesus as my Savior on December 12, 2009 was throw away the whiskey and cigarettes I had bought to celebrate the weekend, as well as all the figurines and rosaries I had kept for prayer in the room. All the religious books I had except the Holy Bible were thrown away. Then, something came out of my body and I lost weight and I clearly remember having an independent experience. We will talk more about this in the next chapter.

Similarly, on the night of Passover Thursday, 1993, while on holiday in the country, the military was in possession of quota alcohol. After the Passover Mass at night, some of the ministers got drunk in our house. Intoxicated by it, he attended the next day's mourning Friday services. Elderly grandmothers later complimented me, saying that the Sedera reading and songs of the day were very devotional and harmonious. But God wrote it down in my name as a very serious sin, which I revealed in 2009.

During the Kumbanad Clinic from 2001 to 2007, another revelation came as a great surprise to me, who believed and published that the healing of many mentally ill people through hypnotherapy and other parallel energy therapies was the greatest achievement of my clinical life. The Holy Spirit revealed that therapies such as hypnotherapy are wrong and that acts that enslave the minds of others through the power of the mind are sinful. My heart sank when I realized that not only the goal but also the path chosen for it is being carefully examined by God and that many of the things that man thinks are beneficial are the means of sin. Similarly, on the night of Passover Thursday, 1993, while on holiday in the country, the military was in possession of quota alcohol. After the Passover Mass at night, some of the ministers got drunk in our house. Intoxicated by it, he attended the next day's mourning Friday services. Elderly grandmothers later complimented me, saying that the Sedera reading and songs of the day were very devotional and harmonious. But God wrote it down in my name as a very serious sin, which I revealed in 2009.

For three days I saw clearly in the light of day all the sins that I had hitherto confessed to the priest and forgotten that I had been forgiven. It was made clear that the sacrament of Confession was the only temporary relief of the mind and that God did not forgive sins through that act.

By the evening of the third day, all my faith, confidence, and arrogance that I had had until then were gone without wax. There was a great conviction that there was no savior in the universe but Jesus Christ. I prostrated myself on the floor and begged God for forgiveness. I confessed Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and Lord's mouth. He made a firm decision to live as a witness for Christ if he lived any longer.

16. Bowing to the idols and the final Judgment

Idolatry is a sin that God, the Most High, the Almighty, the Just Judge, hates so much. Idolaters will never admit or acknowledge that what they are doing is idolatry.

This is because of ignorance in the Holy Bible. Moreover, clergy and religious teachers have been in a person since childhood; There is nothing wrong with idolatry, prayer, and prayer to idols; On the contrary, because we are taught that they are the means by which we draw closer to God, the thought that “this is nothing but sin” is a reality ingrained in our blood.

Since what I read and studied until December 2009 is the POC Bible, I would like to write clearly what is written on this subject.

Let me share with you, dear readers, how I came to understand clearly in my Word study since 2007 how idolatry was formed among men.

I begin by describing an incident that occurred to me to study this subject.

During the time we lived in the Catholic faith, the family would visit the shrines whenever the opportunity arose. Once, in 2005, when I went to Vallarpadathamma's church in Ernakulum and walked around praying, I came across a place of worship according to the concept of Mother's Dashavataras. Ten different statues of the mother are placed there. Velankanni, whom I had relied on since I was a child, lit a wick in front of the statue of my mother and prayed. When I looked from there for a long time, I saw that the believers were lighting wicks and praying only in front of Vallarpadathamma, Mother Velankanni and Mother Nityasahaya. It made me think a lot. A similar experience was seen in churches in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Goa. There were many statues of saints, Mother Velankanni, Mother Lourdes and Jesus. However, I noticed that the believers as a whole turned and prayed only in front of the statue of Mother Velankanni and St. Anthony. No one was seen standing in front of the statue of Jesus.

I begin by describing an incident that occurred to me to study this subject.

This is a thought that came to my mind when I thought about this. Everyone, including me, believes and argues; we worship, not the idol, but the person the idol represents. That is why what we are doing is not idolatry. But if you look at the events I have described above, you can see that in fact, worship, prayer, vows and supplication are all for the respective idol. Not just the person that the statue represents. The experience and reliance of the believers is proof that the statue of Mother Velankanni has more power and potential than other statues. That is why more money, gold and silver fall into the vow box placed in front of the statue of Mother Velankanni than in any other place.

It is here that the most sacred acts of idolatry unwittingly turn into idolatry. If anyone who worships idols reads this chapter, meditate slowly and think without hesitation. You can see the heinous sin hidden in idolatry that you have been committing since childhood.

Now, let us see what the POC Bible teaches about this.

First, it clearly describes how idolatry and subsequent idolatry entered humans. 15 For a father, afflicted with untimely mourning, made an image of the child so quickly taken from him, and now honored as a god what once was dead and handed down to his household mysteries and sacrifices. 16 Then, in the course of time, the impious practice gained strength and was observed as law,and graven things were worshiped by royal decrees.17People who lived so far away that they could not honor him in his presence copied the appearance of the distant king and made a public image of him they wished to honor, out of zeal to flatter the absent one as though present. 18 And to promote this observance among those to whom it was strange, the artisan’s ambition provided a stimulus. 19 For he, perhaps in his determination to please the ruler, labored over the likeness to the best of his skill;20 And the masses, drawn by the charm of the workmanship, soon took as an object of worship the one who shortly before was honored as a human being.21 And this became a snare for the world, that people enslaved to either grief or tyranny conferred the incommunicable Name on stones and wood. 22 Then it was not enough for them to err in their knowledge of God;but even though they live in a great war resulting from ignorance, they call such evils peace. Although I could not meditate on the whole verse, would I at least meditate on this verse?" And the masses, drawn by the charm of the workmanship, soon took as an object of worship the one who shortly before was honored as a human being."

Think about it. If the idol you are bowing to and worshiping was ugly, would you bow down? It is a fact that the most popular of the statues of the Mother is the one at Velankanni. It is also the most attractive form of statues of the Mother. Look at how beautifully the sculptor made the statue.

There are over a hundred verses in the Bible that oppose idolatry. These are just two verses that the clergy and laity use to describe such a despicable sin. Although these two verses do not promote idolatry. Let us see what those verses are.

Exodus 25: 17-21 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold; Its length shall be two and a half cubits, and its breadth one and a half cubits. And thou shalt make two cherubims of beaten gold on the ends of the mercy seat; The cherubim were to be made so that the ends of the mercy seat were joined to each other. The cherubim should spread their wings upwards so that they can cover their grace. The cherubim shall return to the mercy seat and stand face to face. The throne should be placed on top of the ark. The contract I am going to give you must be deposited inside the ark.

Look. If God, who commanded us to make two cherubim on the mercy seat to be placed on top of the ark of the covenant, which says, 'Do not make any image or statue,' will defy the law that is in it? What is a document?

Exodus 20: 4-5 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the water; Do not bow down to them or worship them. For I, the Lord your God, am an intolerant God. I will punish their children for three or four generations for the sins of fathers who hate me.

Doesn't the scripture say that idols should not be made for worship or adoration? But is the idol you have erected for beauty or for worship? Think slowly.

Let's look at the next verse.

Numbers 21: 8-9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a staff: Those who bite will not die if they look at it. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon a rod; The bitten ones looked at the brass serpent; They lived. The Lord Jesus explained in John 3:14 why God commanded Moses to do this here. The Son of Man must be lifted up, just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness. For whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. ”The Exalted Serpent in the Book of Numbers is the event in which Jesus' Father, through the shadow of the Lord Moses in the Old Testament, highlights his decision to sacrifice his Son on the cross of Calvary to atone for the sins of all the world. Even there, the idol was not ordered to be bowed down, prayed to or worshiped. But

then find out what happened to that statue. Then you will understand the manifestations of idolatry.

2 Kings 18: 1-4 In the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah king of Israel reigned Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah. He was then twenty-five years old. And he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother was Abijah, daughter of Zacharias. Like his father David, he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. He destroyed the high places, and broke down the pillars and the Asherah. Moses smashed Israel's incense in front of the dragon, which was called "Nehushtan."

Listen. Here, too, the serpent made by Moses is not to be worshiped or adored, and the people prevent the people of God from worshiping the idol by destroying it for what they have done against it.

Thus, the sole purpose of promoting idolatry, which is so strongly opposed in the Holy Word, is financial gain. But the clergy, who erect statues for it and attract people to it, hide a fact from the people. "A lake of fire kept for idolaters and idolaters"

Today, make a decision now." My God, at this moment I forsake the idolatry that I have practiced for so long. Forgive me. I have completely abandoned all idols, forms and rosaries in my personal life and home.

17. Alter Call to be saved in Christ Jesus

Dear friend, the Word of God says so. "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Luke 9:25)

No matter what we gain in this world, no matter how great our position, if our soul is not saved with eternal life, we will not be able to live forever with our beloved Lord Jesus Christ in the immortal kingdom of God when we have to leave this mortal world.

My thought was that I was a person who lived in great devotion and holiness. I was a person who preached that I have good word wisdom and knowledge, that I live in the kingdom of God, that we Catholics are true Christians, and that only Catholics can go to heaven.

But, by the Holy Spirit, God revealed my sinful life before me, and when I proved the sins I had committed, I became meaningful when I saw my true spiritual condition.

Jesus said, "He (the Holy Spirit) will come and make the world aware of sin and of righteousness and of judgment, because of the sin which they believe in me, and I go to the Father, and you are no longer in me, because of the judgment of the prince of this world."

Dear friend, you, like me, may be a person who has been taught by the community in which you were born and raised. If so, get ready for a rethink today. The only truth in this universe is the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, His words are the most true.

Man sinned and lost the abode of God, his abode. He who wants to be in the presence of God must abide in the kingdom of God. To enter the kingdom of God, one must be born again. Remember Jesus' words to Nicodemus. "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. And he said, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." John 3: 3,5. The kingdom of God is not material, but spiritual. "For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace, and joy in the holy flour. Romans 14:17

There is only one way to regain the lost kingdom of God. That way is Christ. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" John 14: 6.

No one can be born again without believing in the only Savior of the world, the Lord Jesus Christ, and receiving forgiveness and justification. He who is born again enters into eternal life. Jesus Christ said, "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16. John the Baptist then said, "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." John 3:36.

Therefore, only those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, repent of their sins, repent and confess Jesus as their Savior and Lord, baptized in the name of the

Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, can live in the kingdom of God.

This is not possible because you believe in a religion, have a Christian tradition, or belong to any church. Because salvation in Christ Jesus is personal. Although Jesus Christ died for the atonement of the whole world, a person receives the fruit of Christ's atoning sacrifice when he believes in it and repents and accepts Jesus Christ into his life. Realize this truth and make a decision today. Do not forget that the most important thing for us is eternal abode with Christ.

Listen to what the Holy Word teaches;

1. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

2. Who gave authority to all, who received him, and believed in his name, to be the sons of God. John 1:12

3. Jesus saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man live, he believeth; No one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. ” John 3: 3

4. Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18: 3

5. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1: 9

6. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. He who believes in righteousness with his heart, confesses with his mouth that he may be saved. "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10: 9,10,13

7. The wages of sin is death; But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23

8. Believe in the Lord Jesus; And they said, Thou shalt be saved, thou and thy family. Acts 16:31

9. Little children, let no one deceive you; He who does righteousness is righteous, just as he is righteous. He who sins is the son of the devil. The devil has been sinning from the beginning. The Son of God appeared to destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3: 7,8

10. And I turned to see the voice that spake unto me. And when he had turned, he saw seven golden lamps, and in the midst of the lamps one like unto the Son of man, clothed with sackcloth, and having breastplates of gold. His head and hair were as white as white wool, and his eyes were as the appearance of fire, and his feet like unto the roasting of coals baked in a furnace; In his right hand are seven stars; Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword; His face was like the sun shining brightly. Revelation 1: 12-16

11. Anyone whose name is not written in the book of life will be thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15

Dear friend,

May God the Holy Spirit help you and your family to achieve this great salvation that is freely available without wasting time thinking about it. Please contact for more information and prayers.

Your brother in love in Christ,

Anson Maramon.
