Midnight encounter with "SNAKE" Prakash in the Beach
10:35pm;The dinner was over!
There was an urge in me to spend some time with God and the one room house wasn't the ideal setting.
I thought I would worship Him and then talk to Him for some time..............The guitar was there and the Natural Drum Beat was always available in the beach front-Elliots Beach, Besant Nagar, Chennai.
10:35 pm and the traffic was now only in drops.The bike flew past the roads and reached the beach.It wore a somewhat deserted look.Odd time for them, ideally mine!
Mountains bow down and the SEAS will roar, at the sound of your name..................My Jesus, My savior; Praise Adonai echoed through the waves which were relatively calm and relaxed.
People were too few;Hardly 5 in the entire shore and I sang my lungs out. Few people gathered around and I didn't want to please anyone but the Master."Sorry I dont sing secular songs",I replied without hurting their eager music instincts!
I walked along the shore and talked my heart out to the LORD of Heaven and Earth.
11:45 and that Givson Guitar was wrapped in its cover and I was trudging past the sandy beach.
Sounds of a percussion instrument laden with "Aaradhanai" flirted with the "Whistles of the Waves".
My legs dragged me there and landed me near three people facing the sea and worshipping God-Oh they are my Tribe-Worshippers of God!
We had hardly introduced ourselves and then this guy in the middle, spoke in tongues and prophesied, "God is taking you to many nations to lead people into singing.The Spirit of God is on you like He is in Berchman's and David in the Bible.God says that you will release cassettes and CDs that will go throughout the globe"
I was terrified coz just 5 minutes earlier I had asked the LORD what He was going to do with me as I didnt have any goal in front of me and all my desires have become disappointments.
We sang along and this man who is a total illiterate (Doesn't even know to read tamil), asked me to play for a song.He sang a spanish song and it had the Names of God (Hebrews) in the middle.I was afraid to hear him do that and without my knowledge followed the tune into an Aminor combo.................my heart was thumped hard...............God, I never thought that you would do live miracles.
He spoke,"Iam Prakash, people call me "SNAKE" Prakash.I've been on TV and the Newspapers for my stunts with Snakes. At home we used to rear 100 snakes and for every program I dance with 40 poisonous snakes.I have to sleep on snakes at home too.......................My dad was a Magician.Demons (Kutti Chatans) used to pull me and throw me and scratch me. He died one day.I was asked to place a lemon at home and it was witchcraft.I became mad overnight and my family was scattered.I was carried to 350 Kms away from Delhi.Someone brought me back to Chennai.
My wife spent Rs.3000 for the Magician for the poojas but I was still insane.I was sleeping in the bridge and I heard someone tell me-"My son go to the Church"-I asked my family the same and they took me to New Life Assemblies of God church.By early morning, at around 4am, I was completely normal.I again went back to my Snake charming profession.Then one day after a huge collection, as I was counting the currencies,I remembered JESUS CHRIST who healed me.I went to the church and told Him that I will never touch snakes again and that I will serve Him for the healing He had given me.
I started driving autorickshaws for a living.Then I used to feel the move of snakes all over my body.I could feel their bites when I was sleeping.So many people prayed but it wouldn't go.Then one day I went for a fasting prayer and I felt some HAND that was so soft and heard the voice, "My son, come with me" I went outside the church and vomitted a whole tank of poison...........it was scary.It had all the poison that was inside me since my 10 years of age. Now I serve God after my work.God has promised to take me far and wide to carry the gospel.He who has promised is faithful and He will do it."
His friends,Sekhar and Anthony said-"We were about to go to the Church at Adyar to pray, but somehow came here- It is just hard for us to believe because even after reaching here we thought that this wasn't the place.....................but maybe brother to meet you here at this time Holy Spirit brought us here"
This testimony was enough to refreeze my melting faith on JESUS CHRIST..............enough to turn my tears into triumphal praise.............enough to turn my doubts into dosages of joy!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sure that they wouldn't have known that God was giving me alive Demo of the WORD
