Jesus Christ is the Real God - Hindu Priest Proclaimed from a Hindu Temple
“I am the Lord, the God of all mankind –Jer. 32:27 (NIV)”
Alas! All the people who were praying in the temple and the people who lived in that street were shocked when they heard the gospel through the mike in the Hindu temple. Immediately afterward it seemed as though an earthquake had occurred. All the former heads of the mutt and his own relatives started questioning him one after the other. At that time also he told them about the glories of Jesus Christ. These words angered the people and they beat him up, tortured him, chained his hands and left him locked in the sanctum sanctorum. Daily they used to open the door and see if he had repented. When they saw his stubbornness they became angrier and beat him up with rods due to which his ribs were fractured and his shoulder blades got dislocated. He suffered unbearable pain, hunger, thirst and other problems. Without relenting even a little they used to mercilessly beat, kick and verbally abuse him. They tortured him without losing his bonds and without even giving him a drop of water to quench his thirst. Through all this he did not lose heart but continued in prayer. Six days passed. These people tortured him both physically and mentally to the maximum extent possible. But Christ was in him. Rao murmured with faith “The Lord is my Helper. I will not fear (Heb 13:6). He has promised
“Surely I will deliver you (Jere.39:18). Word of God says in Pro. 20:22 “Wait for the Lord and He will save you”. Jesus Christ heard his prayers. On the seventh day at 4 o’clock in the morning surrounded by blinding light and glory, Jesus appeared gloriously inside the locked sanctum sanctorum. Not realizing what was happening, Surya Narayana Rao asked, “Who are you?” to which Jesus replied, “You are the one who called me.” Jesus showed him the vision of the Lord himself hanging on the cross since Jesus knew that this image had been imprinted on his heart. Filled with the Spirit Surya Narayana Rao called out Lord Jesus! Lord Jesus! Jesus lifted him up by his hand and all the chains which were binding him broke and fell down. Still holding his hand Jesus went forward and the locked doors of the sanctum sanctorum, doors of the inner sanctuary and the doors of the outer sanctuary opened one after the other on its own. Having brought him outside the temple Jesus looked at him and said, “Don’t go to the left into the village but go towards the right”. Then Jesus disappeared.
