Pastor M S John (Variyapuram Yohannachen)
Variyapuram Yohannachen – (September 16, 1930 – March 15, 1994)
All the members of my family came to the Lord, and received the Lord as their personal Savior and were baptized except this brother. His salvation was our concern. He was very generous and he loved the Lord. While I was in Raipur one night at two am, I heard the voice of God, asking me to write a letter to my brother Yohannachen. I wrote to him, “The way you are traveling now is not right. If you will not come to the Lord and accept him as your personal savior, you will go to hell and suffer eternally Therefore, obey the word of God and lead a life according to it.”
Even though he did not like this letter, four days after receiving this letter he went into a room and spent time in prayer. In those days he apologized to all the people whom he resented or disagreed with letters or in person. On the 44th day, he came out of his room after being baptized in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues. He wrote to me that he accepted the Lord as his personal Savior, and was baptized in Holy Spirit. He wanted me to baptize him in water, I replied to him, “I received your letter. I am very happy to know of your spiritual experience. Be baptized in water by any one of the anointed servants of God,” He replied to me, “That is not the way; you must baptize me.” According to his request, I went to Kerala and baptized him in the water. I stayed there for a few days and instructed him on several things from the Bible.
He is the one, the world famous prophet Variapuram Yohannachen (M S John)
All his prophesies were fulfilled as were prophesized by him. He never departed from a house or from a person until their problems were resolved by prayer. All the gifts of the Holy Spirit were operated through him. People from different parts of the world, who spoke different languages, came to our home to visit him. He spoke messages to them in their own languages. Variapuram Yohannachen also known as M S John was a servant of God used by God mightily. Today he rests in eternity after fulfilling his ministry in this world.
