Educated at Punjab University, he studied agricultural engineering in England (1926-1928) and Canada (1929-1932), embracing a Western lifestyle, including smoking and drinking, while rejecting his Sikh roots by shaving his hair. Initially hostile to Christianity—once tearing a Bible apart—he converted in 1929 in Winnipeg after reading the New Testament, influenced by Christian friends John and Edith Hayward. Returning to India in 1933, he began preaching as an Anglican evangelist, later becoming independent, sparking the 1937 Martinpur revival, a pivotal movement in Indian Christianity. In 1941, after a night of prayer in Chennai, he founded Hebron Ministries, establishing over 10,000 indigenous churches modeled on New Testament principles across India and South Asia. Singh authored books like How I Got Joy Unspeakable and Full of Glory and held annual “Holy Convocations” in Madras, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Kalimpong, drawing thousands. Married to Rama Bai at age 12 in 1915, little is recorded of their personal life. His contextualized gospel, blending Indian spirituality with biblical truth, earned him the title “Elijah of the 21st Century” in Indian Christendom. Singh’s words, “I have never asked any man for anything, but the Lord is richly supplying all my needs,” reflect his faith-driven ministry. Despite Parkinson’s disease in his final decade, his legacy endures through Hebron’s global network and writings, praised by figures like Ravi Zacharias.

Sermon Transcription
I would like to thank you once again for your prayers on our behalf in the past seven months. I saw you were not present on Thursday evening or Friday evening when we had the meeting. All of you have been praying for us either regularly or quickly. I wish you all the blessings. Lord gave us abundantly in the past seven months. On the occasion of C-20, He has indeed done abundantly above all you ask Him to do. And He has promised you an entrance for the world in almost every part of the world, every country. Well, our joy has become more. At the same time, we have greater responsibility in the coming days. It is not just to open doors and not to beg them to enter them. We have a bigger responsibility to find God's plan for the new open doors. We also quote your prayers for the coming days. God may bless you and reward you abundantly for all your prayers, whatever they have been. Now, for the message, let me see Book of Isaiah chapter 58, verse 14. Now, for the message, let me see Book of Isaiah chapter 58, verse 14. When we take Him as our joy and our satisfaction, we don't depend upon anything of the world for satisfaction. When we take Him as our joy and our satisfaction, we don't depend upon anything of the world for satisfaction. Then shall thou delight thyself in the Lord, I will call thee right upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the hand of Jacob thy father, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. To see the glory of any mountain, we have to go from the peak to peak, and then see from different angles the grandeur of the same mountain. To see the glory of any mountain, we have to go from the peak to peak, and then see from different angles the grandeur of the same mountain. Now see how God is using mountains through the scripture to reveal His full purpose. Even God wanted to give Abraham the final test of faith. He took him on the mountain. In Genesis 22, God took Abraham on Mount Moriah. There He passed the test of faith. In Genesis 22, God took Abraham on Mount Moriah. There He passed the test of faith. And before God could give Moses the pattern of the tabernacle, He took him on Mount Horeb in Exodus 24. And then He kept him for forty days and forty nights. Same way in Matthew 17, the Lord was transfigured on Mount Hermon before His disciples. On Mount Hermon He saw His glory. That is why our salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ is compared to high mountains. On Mount Hermon He saw His glory. That is why our salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ is compared to high mountains. All together you find chapter number 66 in the book of Isaiah. In the Bible also we have the same number. In the Bible also we have the same number. And in the afternoon about 7.50 B.C. That's why this book is so inspiring and so instructive and so helpful. You will find many many references quoted from this book in the New Testament. And even in chapter 53 he gives us very small detail about the suffering of Lord Jesus at the cross. We have a really wonderful study in this book of Isaiah about the high mountains of salvation. And we are going from mountain peak to mountain peak and seeing the beauty of salvation as God has shown us here. And you find him very helpful study and you go home yourself. So we want to give you just a hint how to enjoy this study. You will find also many of your questions answered, doubts removed as you go on reading in that object. And see how wonderful is our salvation and how great is our failure. And what wonderful provision God has made in saving us and calling us. And long before he has been planning the salvation. That's just a thought of it. And that's why it is so precious, so wonderful and so great. The salvation has been planned by Swami Karnataka before he was created. That's why you see the first great mountain peak of salvation has been in chapter 24. Verse 1. Behold the Lord make the earth empty and make it with waste, turn upside down and get abroad where never thereof. Verse 3. Land to be utterly emptied, utterly spoiled, Lord has spoken on this word. Verse 5. The earth ought to be filed in the heaven thereof, for there is transgressed the law. See in the audiences, broken be everlasting covenant. Now you find in the whole chapter we read about the great wrath of God to fall upon all nations, upon the whole earth because of sin and transgression. So behold the Lord make the earth empty and make it with waste, turn upside down and get abroad where never thereof. And the just God, the Holy God had to punish all our sins. But Lord Jesus Christ took upon Himself our judgment. Even though our sins were so great and deserved, still He gave punishment. Even though our sins were so great and deserved, still He gave punishment. But Lord Jesus Christ took upon Himself our judgment. He saved me from the coming wrath of God. As our coming judgment. Romans 8, chapter 1. Even though our sins may have been as black as a thick cloud, they have been buried and they have been confessed and they have been removed. After you have forgotten. The Lord Himself took upon Himself my judgment and punishment. And paid a very high price to do so. As we were saying also in the last table, in so doing, He had to offer His whole body to be broken. As we were saying also in the last table, in so doing, He had to offer His whole body to be broken. Accordingly, we became so precious to Him. Because of our fellow men, we may be ordinary, mindless, foolish people. They may not think much of us. They may call us fools, call us by any name. They may despise us, hate us. But we have become unto our Lord very precious. After all, He took upon Himself our judgment and punishment. Now, secondly please. Isaiah 25, and what's it? He will swallow up death in victory. Lord God will wipe away tears on His face. And the youth of the people, can He take away? Father, Lord has spoken it. He will swallow up death in victory. The victory over death. He will swallow up death in victory. Before Lord Jesus came into the world, He prophesied how He will conquer death for those who come unto Him. However strong men may be, when death comes, they are full of fear. With all their knowledge, with all their cleverness, with all their achievements, with all their knowledge, with all their cleverness, with all their achievements, they are full of fear of death. Many years ago, in France, there was a man called Voltaire. He was an atheist. He used to make fun of God and God's people. In many public meetings, he has spoken words of blasphemy in the name of God and God's people. Then he fell very ill. And full of fear. So my son, no nurse could nurse him for more than one night. He was still also full of fear. Righteousness will flatter him. I have nursed people like that every year. Who are full of fear because of death. But those who know Lord Jesus Christ, they can say, O death, spray thy sting. O grave, spray thy victory. Without any question, they accept God's will. For them, death is like exchanging clothes. And very peacefully, they accept God's will. They say, Lord, now I commit my spirit unto thee. And that is experience. It won't come by knowledge. It will come by the deathly experience of Lord Jesus Christ. And that's why our Lord Jesus rose again. To make us to pass from death into life. And give us the hope of living forever. To live immortal and glorified heavenly body. Some are called young age. Some are called middle age. Some are called old age. But every age because Lord, let thy will be done. We don't want to question Him. He can call us anytime, anywhere, anywhere. But He doesn't need to call us. And we go to Him with perfect peace. Just our second mountain peak of salvation. Lift me over death. The hope of living forever. The hope of having glorified body. The hope of being with Lord Jesus Christ as partners forever. That is third mountain peak. Book of Isaiah. And chapter twenty six. Verse three. Now to keep it in perfect peace, put my head upon thee because He trusts us in thee. So that's our third great mountain peak of salvation. The very peace from God is given to us when we accept Lord Jesus as our Savior. And He said peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you. Not as the world give unto you. His own peace. That is second Thessalonians and third chapter and verse three. God of peace Himself give you peace always by always. God of peace Himself will give you peace always by always. And not a peace only for a few days. A peace for always. The peace which makes us conscious of God's presence. The peace for all situations also becomes possible. And that peace will give you victory over any attack. Romans chapter fifteen. Hebrews twenty. God of peace tell Bruce sit down under your feet shortly. We don't talk to the devil by long prayer or by knowledge of fasting. But by peace. God of peace Himself give us victory. Let you find your peace but don't go away. By the same peace become more righteous. They go to Isaiah chapter thirty two and verse seventeen. And the work of righteousness shall be peace. By maintaining inward peace we become more righteous and more holy. By the very same peace you will hear the voice of God. Isaiah forty eight chapter and verse eighteen. Isaiah forty eight chapter and verse eighteen. Oh that thou had heard hearken to my commandments then thy peace shall be like a river. Shall be like a river. We will come to us by hearkening this new voice of God. The more you God works the more peace you have. Because as the river water does decrease by flowing it can never decrease. It must decrease. Same way the peace of God must multiply by hearing the voice of God. A perfect peace. A wonderful peace. And that's why the very first word of the Lord spoke to the disciple was peace be unto you. John gospel chapter twenty and verse nineteen. He appeared on resurrection and said peace be unto you. He appeared on resurrection and said peace be unto you. And that's why in every epistle the apostles said grace, mercy and peace be multiplied to you. And they go together. God's grace and God's peace go together. God's grace and God's peace go together. The more grace the more peace. The more peace the more grace. And that's why they will try in many many ways to take away our peace. My worry my anxiety my fear my doubt and belief. The peace goes away. That's why you can't receive God's grace if you get back your peace also. It's a wonderful peace. It's a great peace. That's from hundred and nineteen and verse one sixty five Great peace have they who love thy law and nothing shall offend them. Nothing shall offend them. The other may speak in a faster that can happen but peace won't go away. When the fells fail peace won't go away. When health fail peace won't go away. When money fail health won't go away. When job goes away the peace won't go away. How many peace? Great peace have they who love thy law. That's our third mountain field of salvation. Under all situations circumstances conditions anywhere everywhere every age we have to say peace. Under all situations conditions anywhere every age we have to say peace. And remember that peace is depending upon the experience of Lord Jesus Christ. He himself is my peace. And he said peace I leave with you my peace I give unto you. So we got to be conscious of the incoming of Lord Jesus Christ into us Perfect peace. Now fourth please that fourth mountain peak look in my hand table 27 and verse 3 I said Lord you keep it I'll watch every moment that's how it is I'll keep it night and day. He not only does not forgive our sins he is our keeper like the gardener and the watchman looking after the garden watching day and night not seeing some garden with plenty of fruit not seeing some drachsa gardens when they started eating fruit then they had to watch day and night to protect the fruits of the insects from the animals from the birds and the seals We require constant watching and keeping in the garden to protect us from being insects, from the birds and the bees and anybody that steals. Say when you find the devil has the very same power to make us barren, unfruitful, we are robbing us of joy and peace, or by bringing some insects of sin in our lives. They are very very tiny insects. They can eat away the whole harvest. Only by watching at the right time, they can be protected. My faith is Lord, you are my keeper. You watch over me day and night. Protect me from wrong teaching, wrong doctrine, all kind of things outside. He does it. We try and see. I have seen where he protects us from many dangers. But we are the extreme co-workers in Lord Jesus Christ. We claim his protection by faith. Then he says, in the very same words, I will water every moment. Left at the mountain. We got to water many times a day also. Require much patience. I can see around the Persian Gulf. Very very fertile country. Nothing grows there, no water. So they have brought soil from very far places. From many many far places. After spending much money, much labor, they brought the soil. Now they are trying to make it look beautiful. They have been watered from many far off places. They keep on watering it after few hours. Because the country is so dry and so barren. The place must be watered constantly, look green and fresh. The Lord is saying, the wicked world which you live in is barren. Nothing can grow in the wicked world. Lord Jesus Christ is posing to us a new soil. His own nature. Then he poses the watering of my spirit to keep us green and fresh and fruitful. This time I saw beautiful roses in Doha, Qatar. Very very barren before that. But now with much labor, much special water, they made roses also. Lord is saying to you, even though you are living among ungodly people, in lonely places, I will water you every moment. To keep you fresh, to keep you green and fruitful. I promise. You say, my faith. Every morning, before I have your breakfast, that you are heavenly determined. Lord Jesus Christ, you are my keeper, you are my God, now you water me. Till first, you will be more precious and more profitable than your coffee and tea and nothing else. There are some people, they cannot wake up in the morning without coffee. They are miserable without coffee. You can't talk to them at that time. Knowing they have no coffee and tea about 7 o'clock. You go there for some very important work at 6 o'clock. You feel very very angry. Don't trouble me. I give you a coffee. What do you want? They depend on my coffee, Mother of God. He has something better. You claim God's promise every morning. Oh Lord, water me, water me and keep me fresh. By the Holy Spirit through thy word, water me and keep me green, keep me juicy, keep me smiling and faithful. And the enemy tries to make us unhappy, miserable, full of doubt and fear. He is my living keeper. He will never slumber and never sleep. He is there to protect me, same way to water me. Now we see the fifth mountain peak. Isaiah 28 and the verse 29. That will come forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel and excellent in working. He is my wonderful counsellor. And excellent in working. He is the only one who can give you the proper advice. All of us make a mistake in our lives. Before we get the proper advice, we go to neighbours, friends, strangers, relatives, uncle, aunty. Some people are neighbours for the advice. Some people are neighbours for the advice. They give wrong counsel. They make mistakes. Lord, this is my wonderful counsellor. I can go to him for any matter, any question, any problem. Howsoever complicated. And accepting his advice, I find it works both my daily. But sad to say, many believers, some of their wives, or their friends, or their neighbours, or other teachers, for that matter, their body is tired. And they make mistakes. And shed tears for many afterwards. Because it never consults with the Lord Jesus Christ for any project or plan. But wonderful in his counsel. How wonderfully he guides you. First I had planned to go to Yugoslavia on the 1st of January. I also wrote to them. Governing, I travel to Yugoslavia on the 1st of January. But I began to pray more after few days. I heard his voice. You go on the 31st of December and not the 1st of January. It took me about three days to make sure that the words of God are my own imagination. Again and again, you go to Yugoslavia on the 31st, on the 31st of December and not the 1st of January. Twice and a while, to Yugoslavia, I come on the 31st. Last I had a cut short of my stay one day, in Switzerland to do so. And sent two cables. Gone to Switzerland, not Yugoslavia. After two days when he came to Switzerland, I discovered there is no flight at all from Switzerland to Yugoslavia on the 1st of January. Because there is very big public holiday in the country. There is no flight at all. Going by my own wisdom, I will be standing there the whole day. God told me beforehand. You go on 31st, 31st, 31st. It's a wonderful thing. How you receive God's advice at the proper time. You find out everything is so perfect. Wonderful council, excellent working. Now this is the 6th mountain peak. 6th 29th, 24th, they also the heard in spirit shall come to understanding they that murmured shall learn doctrine. They that are heard in spirit shall come to understanding. That means those who are stupid and human speaking, they become wise spiritually. Now many of us have no knowledge of the things. We don't know what is the botany, zoology, chemistry, physics, electronics. And yet we can learn many, many elements of God's word. Our understanding of God's word, our list is not depending upon Hebrew, Greek, botany, chemistry, physics, electronics, I think. Whether you are a PUC sailor or any sailor, and yet in all these failures, we enjoy God's word, heavenly mysteries. And you learn how to pray, and claim divinism for that particular matter. God gives you divinism for all these problems. He notifies you to be discouraged because of other handicaps. We have many people who are very, very stupid, but they are many men of God. And they pray to heaven. And they testify hostile messages. And as they go outside, you can see the shining faces. That is divinism. Now read this temporarily. Isaiah 31. And I, the viewer, should hear the word behind me saying, This is the way. Mark is in it, when you turn right hand, and when you turn left. Everybody can become the voice of God behind you. What am I saying? How God can guide you in such a way? I was coming from Boston. That is south of Bangladesh. To New York. It so happened, again, a very stormy day. And I had to wait for more than five hours for the next plane. I had no means to inform my friend in New York where to meet me. Because it is a very large airport. It is not like the Hyderabad airport. There you find the airplane going up every one minute. There more than 50, 60 doors to go to the airport inside. Now how to meet my friend? They never knew about my time I was coming. Because everything was changed. So I only prayed. Lord, you know my condition. I had to speak at a meeting. When you try to bring my friend over here. So I just went on praying and walking about. I was just standing over there. And a man came behind me. Are you Mr. Bhagat Singh? I said, yes, I am looking for you. I have come to meet you. And he took me there. So happily. The voice of God again. I could have turned wrong way. On the left or right. And I also missed him too. He got the hand. The voice of God coming behind the ear. This is the way walk he in it. Don't go this way or that way. He has unseen hand and loving voice. All is available to keep a right path. His only voice. All the time. He leads us in his way. My photo please. Isaiah 31 Verse 5 As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem. Defending also, he will deliver it. And passing over, he will preserve it. That's our 8th mountain peak of salvation. As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem. God protects you from many many unseen dangers. I met a parishioner in Holland. I was staying with them. He was going in his own car and I was staying in Holland. About two months ago. Another car coming in front of him. So the same incident, he turned wrong. But he turned too much. And he hit against a tree. And the whole car was simply smashed. It was jiggleable. And he was thrown out. There was no fracture. Just like a scratch here and there. You only see that damaged car. You will never imagine any man come alive from that accident. Completely smashed. Last time, the front and the back became one. So it began to shock. Yet he is safe. God is what is there. As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem. And many of us, that way, how can we pray that way? Many of us have been protected from many many unseen dangers around us. Then we meditate. Isaiah 32. And verse 2. Man shall be hiding place from the wind and a cupboard from the tempest. There will be a watered-eye place and a shadow of a great rock in the mainland. See, when you are caught in a rain or a storm, you want to find a shelter. You run here and there. You miss here, any hut, any shop, any building. Run there and take a shelter. Because you are caught suddenly in a storm or a rain. Whatever you can see, you shelter, you go there. So God is saying over here, ask, I have saved you. You will be a hiding place out of the wind and a cupboard from the tempest. What a privilege! Now many people in danger will come to you to seek your shelter. Please pray for me, please pray for me, please pray for me. There are many persons in calamities and sicknesses and tragedies can come to us. It is a privilege. It will be a source of comfort and strength and encouragement to all those in any need. And you will have water in a dry place and a shadow of a great rock in the land. Whatever the river in dry country provides life to many people, same way you can be hospital. Wherever you go, in a lonely place, you bring life of the hospital. By your testimony, your soul will be saved. And a great rock in every land will be a source of safety and protection. We are saved by God's grace to be a protection, to be a shelter, to be a comfort to many people. Now we are at the tenth boundary peak. Narayani shall see the king in the beauty. Behold, the land is very far off. That is our hope. One day we will see our Lord in His glory. Narayani shall see the king in His beauty. We were saying before the worship began, Lord just like we call in three places king of kings, God of lords. So far nobody, even angels, has not seen His full glory. But when He comes a second time with all the angels and says, there we shall see His full glory and beauty. That is our hope. Narayani shall see the king in His beauty. And the land is very far off. We shall see all the greatness of the heavenly kingdom. That is our hope. Every believer, because of the salvation of Lord Jesus Christ. We shall be like Him. We shall seem as He is. And know as He knows us. Seize the glory and be a part of it. Like that, there are 43 mountain peaks of salvation here. You all are willing, I go on whole night. Now you can see fully all these 43 mountain peaks. Please you try yourself. Shall we pray? Never failing and never changing God. God of glory. In the name of Lord Jesus Christ, we thank Thee for living our precious blood. We adore Thee for delivering us from the darkness. We thank Thee for covering us with the glory and beauty. We thank Thee for Thy promises in Thy word to make us God with Thee and Thy brethren. Lord, forgive us for our negligences. Forgive us our poor faith. Help us fully to get salvation. May Thy peace like a river reign every heart. May Thee be watered by Thee every moment by Thy Spirit, Thy word. May Thy favor sing Thy counsel. See Thy glory and beauty day by day. And be a source of comfort unto many. See Thy walk daily behind me. See Thy way, walk in it. Lord, as Thy word we pray in the name of the Lord, dear God of Savior. Now unto Him, able to keep us from falling and present us for that purpose of the glory. The Lord, we ascribe Thee glory and power both now and forevermore. Amen.
