Also I heard a voice of the Lord,saying,” WHOM SHALL I SEND ? AND WHO SHALL GO FOR US ? ” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8)

WHO WE ARE ?

Heavenly Feast is a movement that the lord Jesus Christ started in a small city named Kottayam, in Kerala State, southern tip of India. God himself started this movement through an outstanding conversion of an atheist businessman Rev.Dr. Mathew Kuruvilla (Tangu Brother) who met with an accident and was disabled and was healed by Jesus Christ himself, a transformation for a lifetime occurred on November 24th, 1995. The love of God filled him and he was so passionate for Jesus that even though not fully healed, he started to share the Love of God and the principles of the Kingdom of God. ”This is not a profession but my passion to seek and save the lost” is his own words. Every evening he would stand in the city centre, none to encourage him or to stand by him, he would distribute the tracts and talk to people about Jesus Christ.

                             

 At a time when the churches had become legalistic, he spoke about the liberty of Christ and the Kingdom of God that made people come out of condemnation and guilt and to be filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit. As he said “Jesus did not come to start a religion called “Christianity” but to reveal the Father of Glory and HIS love to all. As we are not in a religion but in the Kingdom of God”. As a mustard seed in the Kingdom of God, it began with a person who answered the call of God and walked with the Holy Spirit, today Heavenly Feast is one of the largest movements of revival and is a history itself and has spread out all over the nations of the world. We believe that we are to REVIVE those who are cold now in faith and seek and save the lost for a great HARVEST 

                As outstanding creative miracles were happening through the hands of Rev. Dr.Mathew Kuruvilla, his burden was that people should also be rooted in the word of God. He knew that Jesus is real and alive yet wanted that people who received the miracles should not just return after receiving the miracle but to know Jesus personally and be rooted in the word of Jesus Christ.

                                  The desire of Rev Dr. Mathew Kuruvilla (Tangu brother) was fulfilled towards the end of 1997 when Rev. Dr.Thomas Abraham (Thomaskutty brother) who was well versed and a graduate in theology, who had the same passion who was praying that there must be a movement where anyone and everyone can come and with all liberty know Jesus Christ. The coming of Rev Dr.Thomas Abraham who was already a pastor in the movement triggered the next level and move of God. From then till now both Rev. Dr. Mathew Kuruvilla & Rev Dr. Thomas Abraham have walked shoulder to shoulder in one accord and one mind. “For every Peter, a John is needed to see the lame walk” is the words of Rev Thomas Abraham.Yes, this is the fastest and the largest move of God in these times where Jesus Christ is preached and faith of God is manifested supernaturally.

WHAT WE BELIEVE – Statement of Faith

  1. Jesus is the Christ and Saviour and God himself
  2. We believe in the triune God in one. God the Father,Jesus Christ his Son & God,the Holy Spirit who is God.
  3. Salvation is in believing in the death and resurruction of Jesus Christ on the Cross.
  4. Jesus Christ will appear again in his glory for his believers for the perfection of salvation
  5. We trust and believe that Jesus is the Christ and that He is alive and the same yesterday,today and forever and that miracles still happen and the gifts of the Holy Spirit are still at work
  6. That the love of God as a loving Father who loves all humanity as his own family and not just preaching but living IN HIS and displaying His love to all.
  7. To lead a triumphant life here on earth and a mind set in the heavenlies waiting for the appearance of Jesus Christ.
  8. To just not people get to be saved but helping them to have fellowship with the Holy Spirit to transform from a MERE MAN TO THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST as own calling is
  9. To grow in intimacy with Jesus the Christ with the help of the Holy Spirit and be trained to listen to HIS VOICE and be guided by the Holy Spirit on a daily basis.
  10. That Jesus will belong to every human being on the planet as their own friend and lover.
  11. The relationship should never be God and devotee but a father and son as He is already  pleased with us IN CHRIST.

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. * 

(Titus 2:11-15 KJV)

Vision

We in Heavenly Feast family long to see every man irrespective of caste, creed and religion, realise that Christ is alive and belongs to them. Also it is our desire that each believer realises that Jesus Christ envisioned the Church as an apostolic movement where every member has an active part in the ministry.
1 Tim 2:4; Col 1:28

History

This apostolic revival started in Kottayam in Kerala, the Southern state of India when Jesus healed and transformed Dr. Mathew Kuruvilla (our founder) miraculously from a paralytic state due to a car accident. Dr. Mathew, who was a businessman then, began a small prayer group in a very small auditorium in Kottayam town in 1997. God began using him in miracles and healings.

After two years, the Holy Spirit brought Dr. Thomas Abraham to join hands with Dr. Mathew Kuruvilla. People saw history repeating like the days of Peter and John. Like the apostles, when Dr. Mathew and Dr. Thomas stood together and lifted only the name of JESUS, a mighty revival broke out.Blind eyes opened, deaf received hearing, cancers healed, hard core criminals transformed, drug addicts were delivered. The group had to move from one auditorium to other within months to hold the crowd.Those who were blessed in these revivals went to different places and set the same fire ablaze,wherever they went. The speciality of our Church, as our mission states, is the ministry focuses on a group and not on an individual.

Persecuted Church

It is without any doubt that there has been no other movement which has been persecuted like Heavenly Feast till date. This happened even when we have done only good to the society and as far as possible never criticized anyone or any organisation. While the constitution of India boast of freedom of expression of religion,the Heavenly Feast tent was attacked and brought down and the believers were beaten and persecuted.

The church is now moving from one place to other giving huge rent for conducting services, while our own place lies vacant without being given the sanction.Remember,this is happening at our own place where we have been worshiping for 12 long years with all legal papers. Even we are being persecuted without reason and inflicted injustice for no cause let us continue to love and serve our society in the love of Christ remembering the Word of God: “Let us not become weary in doing good”.(Galatians.6.9)
