‘Thirst’ is a painful thing and ‘thirsting’ is an agonizing experience. But at the same time, ‘Quenching’ that thirst is a marvellous and pleasurable experience. There are many ‘thirsts’ in our lives but God promises a wonderful ‘Quenching’ upon the areas of your ‘thirsting’ in such a way that all the thirsts will be washed away by the powerful flow of the ‘Quenching’. God promises to remove our thirst by an abundant out-pouring of living waters from His ‘river of pleasures’.

As I was meditating upon the various ‘thirsts’ that can affect our lives, the Holy Spirit, flashed an amazing verse from the scriptures, in my spirit. Let me quote that to you: “How precious is Your loving kindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.”

(Psalm 36:7,8) Jesus Calls

Although God has given us many blessings, yet there are certain areas in our lives where we ‘thirst’. ‘Thirst’ for your needs to be met; ‘thirst’ for a job so that you can have a source of income; ‘thirst’ to get married and start a happy family life; ‘thirst’ to shine in your studies; and ‘thirst’ to get your insufficiencies filled.

But when you come to God – our Father with all these kinds of thirst, He opens the flood gates of His ‘river of pleasures’ which is the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and pours out streams of His life, and fills you with His glory.

When His glory comes upon you, the Holy Spirit will descend upon you and you will be able to feel and experience the reality of ‘you’ being ‘in’ Christ; Christ being in the Father and The Father being in Christ (John 14:20). When you are filled with the anointing of the Holy Spirit your eyes will be focused on Jesus and His power alone and not on the devil or his powers. When your eyes are focused on Jesus, ‘worry’ cannot remain in you. All your thirsts for finance, employment and marriage will be washed away in a moment by the flow of the power of God in your heart.

Thirst over Past Relationship “And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in your weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)

One of the terrible thirsts that can hurt us is the thirst of past relationships. These relationships leave behind pleasurable memories and whenever these memories are provoked the person experiences a ‘thirst’ for the past relationship.

This is a terrible ‘thirst’.

Once a girl wrote a letter to

me in which she said, “Two years ago, my parents found an alliance for me but at that time the boy did not have a job for himself and so my parents decided to postpone the marriage and wait till he found a job. During this time of waiting for a job, the boy and I began talking to each other for hours and getting to know each other very intimately. We liked each other very much.

Meanwhile, it took too long for him to find a job, my parents who could not wait for him, went ahead and fixed another boy who is a medical doctor. Now my wedding is fixed, but my heart is not able to come out of the past relationship. There is a deep thirst within me for that relationship and I am now caught between ‘two’ relationships. I am confused now and don’t’ know what to do. I am suffering in confusion and emotional pressure. The thirst of the past is tormenting me. Please help me brother!”

I took the letter into the presence of God and prayed for God to help me counsel the girl, and then I replied her saying, “As long as you live in this world there will be this human ‘thirst’ in relationships.

That is why Jesus said, “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak” (Matthew 26:41).

Yeah! The ‘flesh’ is weak and that is why you are not able to overcome this ‘thirst’ of the past. The Bible teaches us that this is the time you need to shift your mind from the past relationship and focus on Jesus. You need to ‘consider’ (think of; meditate) Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.’

(Hebrews 12:3). Jesus suffered on the Cross in order to set you free from discouragement and weariness of your soul. So do not magnify human relationships that arise out of a thirst from the flesh, rather accept wholeheartedly, the relationships given by God and enjoy it. Don’t ‘thirst’ after human relationship; do not magnify it and live only for it as if that is the only purpose of your life. You are created

by God to live for His purposes; to fulfil His plans in your life. You need to discover God’s plan in your life and ‘thirst’ after fulfilling that plan in your life. You need to be focused on God’s plan and seek to fulfil that plan. To fulfil His plan in your life you need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. You need to avoid unnecessary conversations, watching unnecessary pictures and encouraging unnecessary thoughts, rather you need to focus your mind on how you can do what God wants you to do at any time in your life.

Meditate on these things, and your ‘thirst’ for your past relationships will be washed away from your mind and heart. All that you need now is the strength of the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit comes upon you; you will receive strength and you will shine as a glorious witness for God (Acts 1:8).

Instead of the thirst for your past, you will be filled with a thirst for God. Then you will say, “Lord! Not my will, but Thy Will be done. I will wholeheartedly accept and marry whoever You want me to marry and love that person with all my heart. I am willing to enter into married life through the strength of the Holy Spirit. So help me Lord!”

You will surrender your life totally into the hands of God. God will give you the mental and emotional maturity to understand, accept and enjoy the God-given married life

and be a blessing to the God-given spouse (Hebrews 13:4).

If only you get filled with the Holy Spirit every morning before you start the day, you will find God’s Will and plan alone being fulfilled in and through you on that day. Your mind will be filled with Godly thoughts alone (Phil.

2:5).The thirst of the past, nor it’s thoughts will follow you. The hurting ‘thirst’ of the past will be removed by the flood of anointing.

So cheer up and enter into a new life that God has given you through the alliance that is fixed for you now and enjoy fulfilling the Will of God in your life” This is what I wrote to her.

Friend! Are you saying, “Brother! I was in love with a girl for many years with full-faith that we will marry each other. Some people who prayed over us even prophesied that this marriage will happen, but our relationship did not end in marriage. It broke miserably?” Is this your cry? Don’t you worry! You may ask how I can ask you not to worry in spite of knowing that your past relationship has been a painful failure?

But please know the truth that God will fulfil only what He has planned and prepared for you in your life and that plan is the best for you. The Bible assures that the pleasure (plan and purpose) of the Lord will prosper (be fulfilled successfully) in His hands (Isaiah 53:10). No purpose of God can be withheld or thwarted (Job 42:2) and everything that happens to a child of God happens for good (Romans 8:28). Therefore please understand that God is in control of your life.

That is why I encourage you to boldly enter into the new life that comes your way. Place your trust in God and accept whatever comes your way as God’s Will and Plan for you and embrace it confi-

dentially.

Don’t blame anyone and don’t blame yourself either. Confess from your heart saying, “Not my Will Lord! But Thy Will be done.”

When you do this, the blessings of God will flow upon you and fill your life with good things. Your ‘thirst’ for your past relationship will be washed away. That ‘thirst’ will never arise again.

So, be filled with the Holy Spirit daily; be gripped by His power; be enveloped by His love and gradually your mind and heart will begin to fall-in-love with the new life that God Will give you and you will enjoy married life with your new partner (Isaiah 62:5). God will so powerfully fill you with His flood of anointing that the ‘thirst’ of your past will dissolve and disappear from your heart and all aspects of your life will be renewed. Everything about you will become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). Your thoughts will be filled by the thoughts of God. However strong and pleasurable the thirst of the past relationship could be how much ever happiness it could have given you, however unforgettable the relationship could have become, God can enable you to throw it out of your life.

So! Go ahead! And set yourself free from the grip of the past relationship with the help of the Holy Spirit. Then God Will be pleased with you.

Thirst for Separation “...and be strong, all you people of the land,’ says the Lord, ‘and work; for I am with you,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!’”

(Haggai 2:4,5)

Read the verse above. What’s important here is: “Who is speaking these words?” The Lord of Jesus Calls



Hosts Himself is speaking these words. These are not the words of an ordinary man. You are not going to do anything with your own strength and will-power; you are not the one that’s going to make things happen for you. As promised in His word, the God of Hosts will perfect everything that concerns you (Psalm 138:8) with His power, Love and wisdom.

Note that in the first portion of the verse God says, “I, the Lord of Hosts am with you”. So, my friend, go ahead and conduct your business with confidence; go and enter the family life fixed for you boldly; go and pursue your studies without fear and God’s help will abide with you.

Also note that in the second portion of the scripture quoted above He says, “When you were saved or born-again; when you started your married life in My presence, I made a covenant with you; I made a promise that My Holy Spirit will also be with you.”

See! Our God is a promise – keeping God and His words will never fail. He Himself expresses the unfailing nature of His promises in His own words saying, “Heaven and earth shall pass way but My words shall never pass away” (Matthew 24:35). So, God will remove the spirit of fear and the spirit of weaknesses from you and fill you with the spirit of strength and boldness (2 Timothy 1:7). With this strength you will arise with new power and rebuild the broken pieces of your own life, your family, your business, your relationships and all your endeavours.

Once, a heart-broken lady wrote a letter to me that said, “My husband is involved in gambling.

Every day he comes home drunk.

Due to his destructive habit our family fell into huge debts. Our creditors come banging at our

doors everyday demanding their money. This is causing me and my children to shed tears of blood every day. In spite of all our efforts to change him it does not look like my husband will ever repent and so my children and I are thinking of separating from my husband.

Please advise us brother.”

The situation of this family broke my heart. With deep burden I prayed for this family and sought counsel from God and then I replied to her saying, “Marriage is a life-long covenant. The couple, during the wedding ceremony that happens in the presence of God and the presence of the saints of God and all people, exchanges vows saying that in all the ups and downs of life, they will never abandon each other or separate from one another. Its only after such a mutual promise do they become husband and wife. It is such a strong covenant that under no circumstances of life – however terrible and hurting it may be – neither of the spouse should separate from each other, because the purpose of a marriage union is not to fulfil any humanistic or material needs or for mere physical pleasure. It is to neither gain popularity in the world nor for the praises and honour of the world, but to bring forth a holy generation unto the Lord for God’s holy purposes (Malachi 2:15). That is their important responsibility.

The Bible says, that after the Holy Matrimony the husband and the wife become one flesh and therefore what God has thus brought together; no man should put asunder or separate (Genesis 1:27, 28; 2:24; Matthew 19:6; Mark 10:9). If the couple has a heart that loves God they will be singlehearted and no one can separate them. How can someone separate himself from himself? The hus-

band and wife being one flesh, how can they separate themselves?

They are so inseparably intertwined as one flesh – as one person. They are no longer ‘two’ but ‘one! They separating from each other would be equal to them separating themselves from God Himself.

God Himself has united both you and your spouse and therefore you can’t separate from each other, rather you both become ‘one’ in God and unite your selves to God and become a three-fold-cord and a three-fold-cord never breaks (Eccl. 4:12) The union that happens between husband, wife and God is a strong bond that would seldom break. When you unite yourselves to God then God will take over your married life and lead you both with His power and wisdom into an experience of knowing God deeper and deeper.

“For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.”

(1 Corinthians 7:14)

The Bible says, ‘let those who are holy become more holy and those who are unholy become more unholy (Revelation 22:11).

Let holy wife become more holy until her holiness becomes powerful enough to break the husband’s bondages to sins and addictions. As the scripture says in Mark 16:17, that as children of God we have the authority to chase-out demons in the Name of Jesus Christ, the wife should take this authority in her hands and use the name of Jesus Christ against the demonic forces that provoke the husband to get addicted to the habit of drinking and chase those forces out of him.

“This is what I wrote to her.

Friend! Even as you are reading this message, do you find yourself in the same situation? Is your spouse addicted to some habit or chained to some weaknesses due to which the peace of your family is wrecked?

Do remember that everything works for good to those who love God (Romans 8:28). When you surrender your family life into the

hands of God and bring it under His Will Power and Plan, He will bless it and lead it into a beautiful and miraculous future.

Thirst for Peace While there are some negative ‘thirst’s that must be removed from our hearts, there are some positive thirsts that need to be ‘filled’ or ‘Quenched’. This ‘thirst’ itself is created by the Holy Spirit and is also filled by the Holy Spirit. As psalmist David says, “as the deer panteth (thirsts deeply) for the waters so my soul pants (thirsts) after you.” (Psalm 42:1). One such ‘thirst’ that arises in the souls of Children of God is the ‘thirst for peace’.

“You will show me the path of life;In Your presence is fullness of joy;At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

(Psalm 16:11)

There is a tremendous poverty of ‘peace’ in families in today’s world. Friend! As you read this

message are you too feeling a lack of peace in your life? Are you ‘thirsty’ for blessings? Come to the Lord. He will teach you His ways (Psalm 25:12). He will lead you into complete happiness and eternal pleasures.

Many years ago, a couple came forward to share their testimony in the ‘Jesus Calls’ T.V. programme.

The wife was a B.Ed., graduate. She passed B.Ed., in first class. As her marriage date approached she was gripped by an unknown fear of marriage. On the day of her wedding she had created a big commotion saying, “I don’t want to get married”. The members of the family comforted her, counselled her and finally convinced here to get married and she got married, but she could not get into marital relationship with her husband.

Things were not normal about her. Only after marriage the husband discovered this problem in her. He and the people in the family tried by all possible means, to help her get rid of that ‘fear’ but her condition did not improve. They thought that the girl may feel better if they went away and lived alone as a couple, but as days went by her strange fear only increased. She continued to refuse marital relationship. There was no trace of the joy and excitement that would normally be found in a girl who is newly wedded. She would sit alone in a corner of the house and talk to the husband like she would talk to a stranger. So the girl’s father came and took her away to his home. Soon all the friends and relatives began to question the wife and found fault with her. All those who loved her began to turn against her.

The husband’s situation became so bad that he could not attend office. Every day he would fill his motorcycle with petrol and ride on the roads without any destiny, till all his fuel would be burnt. The wedding that began with so much of excitement and energy soon faded into sorrow and pain. The husband became so depressed that he decided that the only way to end this mental agony was to end his life by committing suicide. It was at this juncture one day as he was walking down the roads he happened to cross the “Bro.D.G.S.Dhinakaran Memorial Prayer Tower”. When he passed across the Prayer Tower something within him prompted him to enter the Prayer Tower and he did so. The usual ‘Blessing Meeting’ was happening in the Prayer Tower and the preacher of that day was quoting a Bible verse saying, “For who has despised the day of small beginnings?” A wave of spiritual comfort went forth from that word of God and entered his heart.

He was so charmed with the word that he sat down and listened to the entire preaching.

From that day onwards the husband continued to attend the Blessing Services regularly.

Then he went and spoke to his Father-in-law. By that time the relationship had become so worse that it went to the court and to the Police Station, but God began to work in his circumstances miraculously and set the wife free from that strange fear.

Soon all the problems that were spoiling the marriage were solved amicably. The marriage was restored miraculously. Then the wife entered into marital reJesus Calls

lationship with the husband and she conceived. The whole family was filled with joy, and happiness but another storm slashed against their lives. The wife suffered a miscarriage.

The doctors who examined her said that her uterus had become very weak due to over intake of medicines. They also said that the chances of her to get another child was very less. They said it can happen only by God’s supernatural intervention – a miracle – an act of His grace.

But that husband and wife continued to attend the Blessing Meetings and kept writing Prayer Requests. One day the wife felt like visiting a doctor and so she went alone and asked the doctor to examine her.

The doctor examined her and then looked at her with surprise and asked her, “Madam, did you undergo any special treatment?”

“Why?” the wife asked. The doctor said with a smile, “Your womb is in a very healthy condition and the baby inside it is also safe,” Then the wife said to the doctor, “Doc! We never went through any special treatment. All that we did was that we continuously attended the Blessing Meetings conducted at the ‘Bro.D.G.S. Dhinakaran Memorial Prayer Tower’ and God has performed this miracle.

During the terrible days that they were without a child, it was unbearable for the wife to hear the hurting words of mockery from the mouths of the people around her. They thirsted for ‘Peace’. But as they attended the Blessing Meetings and sought the Lord with all their hearts to quench their thirst for a peaceful family life, the Lord moved upon

them with grace and built their broken lives. The wife delivered a beautiful baby without any complications and the whole family was immersed into on ocean of ‘peace’ and ‘joy’. And not only that, God also blessed the wife with a government job.

“For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body - whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free - and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.”

(1 Corinthians 12:13)

Look at the word ‘drink’ in this verse. The Tamil version uses the word ‘Quenched’. According to this verse you can get your thirst quenched (filled) by drinking from the rivers of the pleasures of God. So friend, get filled everyday with the power and strength of the Lord through the Holy Spirit and then you will receive wonderful spiritual experiences from God (2 Corinthians 5:6). No other thirst will disturb your mind. The weaknesses of the flesh will not affect you. The only way to overcome the weaknesses of the flesh is to be

filled with the Holy Spirit. Every day we should live like we are more than conquerors in Christ (Romans 8:37). And so surrender your life into God’s powerful hands. Then, you will see His power manifesting in your life. God will prove through you that you belong to Him and you are His child and make you shine brilliantly for His glory.

Peace, prosperity, success and all the other blessings that His Word promises you will come upon you and decorate your life.

Prayer God of Love, I am suffering with the thirst and thoughts of past relationships that are tormenting my mind. Please pour your strength in the areas of my fleshly weaknesses. Help me not to blame anyone or harbour any ill-feelings about them in my heart. Let me look at the marital relationship you have given me as gift of love from you and enter into it with joy and peace and enjoy married life. Give me the grace to lean completely on You

alone and honour you alone in my life. Help me to receive what you have prepared and planned for me and rejoice with a heart filled with joy. Fill my every day with ‘pleasures forevermore’ from your rivers of pleasure. Fill me with your perfect blessings and honour me before the eyes of this world and place me in the highest places of this world that I may shine for your glory. Command a spirit of unity that will bring me, my husband (my wife) and children together in perfect harmony.

Help us to seek you as a family and behold your glory. Give me that spiritual authority by which I can pray powerfully. Give me the grace to sanctify myself and then deliver my husband (wife) and children from the bondages of the devil. Deliver me by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Command blessings and prosperity upon my family. I ask all these in the Name of Your son  Jesus Christ, Amen.

UTTERED PROPHECY (2016) China market shall hold significant place in the world stock market. When the China market shares escalate, the world market shall also increase. By this, the world economy shall grow. When the china shares decline, you would see the world shares/economy falling down” New economic principles and power would emerge in the world. Authorities of financially sound nations would follow new principles in trade and economy. As a result the fundamental economical principles of many nations would change.

FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY: As uttered by the Lord through His servant drastic changes are happening in the economy of China and as a result in the world economy. We had already written about this in the previous issue of the magazine.

It is now reported that China's central bank has drafted plans to impose a tax on currency trades. Dubbed a "Tobin tax" it would impose a small levy on foreign exchange transactions. The aim would be to deter investors from seeking to profit on fluctuations in the currency and turn their attention to other currencies.

Impact on China – America Economy: Over the past couple of decades, China has been holding the exchange rate of its currency Yuan to the dollar stable.

China will be able to offset the effects of Fed policy by varying its relatively large level of public investment. Economists feel that this connection between the yuan and the dollar has important implications for the impact of US monetary policy on China which in turn would affect the global finance to a great deal.

UTTERED PROPHECY 2016 There will be new alignment of stars in the sky ( As a star appeared when the Lord Jesus was born and led the wise men from the east). Similarly in order to bring people and wise men to Jesus, in His Second Coming, this year there shall be a new alignment of stars in the sky. This sign will bring the wise men to the Lord. After this, new economies and new economic powers will emerge in the world. There will be new trade avenues and new alignment of countries for trade.

FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY :

New Alignment of Stars: This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image, features the star cluster Trumpler 14.

One of the largest gatherings of hot, massive and bright stars in the Milky Way, this cluster houses some of the most luminous stars in our entire galaxy and is about 8,000 light years away. Astronomers estimate that around 2,000 stars ranging in size from less than one tenth to up to several tens of times the mass of the Sun reside in this.

Boss Great Wall: "Walls" like the BGW are part of the underlying structure of the universe. Most of space is a vast empty void, and stars, planets, the galaxies they constitute are threaded through that nothingness. Pulled together by gravity, galaxies coalesce into clusters, which in turn form larger structures called super clusters. Those are then corralled into "walls". Scientists working for the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey call it BOSS Great Wall (BGW).

"Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’

(Isaiah 58:9)

Look at the two phrases in this verse. “So near to us” and “Here I m”. How near is God to us when we pray? He is ‘so; near. The preposition ‘so’ is a very deep word. God is nearer than we imagine He is. He is ‘so’ near that He can hear even the whispers of our lips. He is ‘so’ near that He could even read our thoughts and sense our feelings. Whenever we go into His presence and cry out to Him, He readily says, “Here I am”.

There is another occasion when He draws nearer to us – When we worship Him. The Bible teaches us how to worship Him. It says we need to ‘worship Him in Spirit and in truth’.

(John 4:24). When we worship Him in Spirit and in truth, we can sense His presence near us. It feels like He is with us and in us.

God has given us a position in our lives – from that position we have the freedom to call out to Him saying, “Abba! Father!”

(Romans 8:15). God has poured into us the Spirit of sonship and so He is as near to us as a Father would be near His children. Whenever we ‘pray’ or ‘worship’ Him, He comes near us and gently wipes away our tears, strengthens our spirit, comforts our hearts, meets our needs and showers us with blessings.

WITH YOU! “He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, nor has He seen wickedness in Israel.

The Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a King is among them."

(Numbers 23:21) The people of Israel were crossing a vast dry desert which had no water for miles around them. They began to murmur against God saying, “No water! No meat! How better would it be if we died here in this desert than to starve and thirst.” They sinned against God but God did not see their sin; He did not count their iniquities. The Bible says that the people of Israel are God’s beloved.

He never left them nor forsook them. It is in the same way that God loves us too.

Friend! The mighty God remains with you. The majesty of the King remains with you, and therefore you will not face disasters any more (Zephaniah 3:15, 17). He will protect you like the apple of His eye (Zechariah 2:8), cover you and preserve you so that you are hidden from the eyes of the evil one (Psalm 32:7).

Once when we were in America doing God’s ministry, there arose a Tornado in the place where we stayed. All the channels in the T.V. were warning the people about the coming of the Tornado. They were warning us about a mighty swirl of wind that would surround our small town, in a few minutes. But in the map that was showed in the T.V. News the place where we stayed was coloured green indicating that that was the only safe place which will not be touched by the Tornado. Our friends and

relatives kept calling us over the phones and enquired our safety.

One sister advised us to hide in a store room which had no windows so that the wind would not enter our house. But my husband said, “We don’t need any storerooms or places of hiding. Come! Let’s kneel down hold our hands together and pray. We knelt down held our hands together prayed saying, “Lord! We praise you because you have us covered and preserved under your mighty protection. We then began to thank God. My husband had so much of faith. But I was scared. I told Sharon not to go near the windows lest the glasses break and hurt her body but my husband was thanking and praising God. As predicted by the weather station, the terrible Tornado swirled around our place but did not touch the area where we stayed. The places around our community were hit boldly. Houses were crushed to the ground and things were shattered all over the place but for us – God protected us under His mighty arms.

It is the same way God is around you. He is ‘so’ near to you, covering you with His might and majesty, whispering into your ears saying, “I am here,” So Cheer up and smile. He is ‘so’ near you and listens to you when you pray.

BESIDE YOU! “The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.”(Psalm 34:18) Many times the problems of life may pressurize us so much, that under its weight we may cry and wonder whether God is really with us. You may doubt whether God is hearing your prayers. But it is your Jesus Calls

prayers that He will hear. He promises us in His word that He is `near’ to you. Sometimes your mind can be stormed with so many thoughts. You may say to yourself, “I live in an unknown and insignificant village. I am doing a very menial job and no one respects me. Does Jesus know me? Do I matter to Him? Am I important to Him?” But it is to you that Jesus would come. It is for people like you His heart would be looking for. It is humble people like you He would He decide to transform into stars that would shine forth His glory. He will set you high upon a rock (Psalm 27:5).

He came to this earth to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10). Jesus sat beside and stood beside tax collectors and sinners. During Jesus’ days the whole society hated the tax collectors because they collected undue taxes from them and were loyal to the Roman Government. And look at the very interesting reply that Jesus gives to those self-righteous Pharisees who questioned why Jesus a man, who claimed to be Holy, sat beside tax collectors and sinners and had dinner with them.

“When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” (Matthew 9:12,13; Mark 2:17; Luke 5:32) So look at Jesus’ compassion upon the sick, the crushed, the broken hearted, the hated, the rejected, the forsaken and the abandoned.

The same Jesus is alive today

and is standing beside you – waiting to heal your mind, heart and body and change your circumstances.

Jesus is the Hope for the hopeless.

He is abiding with us as our healer, protector and father. Jesus comes in search of anyone who searches Him truly. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you (James 4:8).

Friends! Search Him with all your heart, and you will find Jesus Coming to right where you are.

However insignificant you may be; however remote the place where you live may be, God is a God who comes in search of you. Let us praise and worship our God who stays beside us – the God who does not remember our sins (Jeremiah 31:34).

There is a lady named Amirthavalli who is living in Chennai – the capital city of Tamil Nadu State in South India.

She did not even know who Jesus was. One day she discovered that she had developed a cancerous growth in her breast. Despite many sessions of chemotherapy there was no improvement. So the doctors performed a surgery on her and removed one of her breasts, and the cancer began to spread into the other breast also and the doctors advised that the other breast also has to be removed. That lady burst into tears and began to cry aloud as she heard what the doctors said.

She did not know how to react to her condition and whom to seek for help. She also did not know Jesus. At that time the helper who was working at the neighbour’s house gave her a suggestion. She said, “Madam!

Why are you keeping on crying?

In Chennai, there is a prayer

Tower in the D.G.S. Dhinakaran Road. People who go to that Prayer Tower and pray, get their diseases healed. Why don’t you try going there and seek God’s healing?” That lady immediately rushed to the Prayer Tower. That was Tuesday and the usual Fasting Prayer was taking place there. She walked in and participated in that prayer. When she found everyone praying with their eyes closed, this lady too thought, “Let me also close my eyes and pray to the God these people are praying to”. That was all she did, and in a few seconds, the presence of God filled the place where she stood. The lady broke into a vision in which she saw Jesus face -to-face. He appeared to her clad in a white robe. As soon as she saw Jesus a great joy filled her heart and body. Jesus moved beside her, held her hand and lifted her up.

She went home as a joy – filled person. Then she went to the doctor and got herself examined.

The doctors who examined her were shocked at what they sawthe cancerous growth was missing. She was overflowing with joy, surprise and happiness.

The doctors, out of doubt whether they examined her rightly, examined her again and again till they concluded it was a miracle. They were all surprised.

Yes! This is the way our Lord stands beside us and performs miracles in our lives. He gets beside those who search for Him in their spirits. Friend, you too are invited to visit the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower and pour your heart out to God. Open your heart and tell him all the things that are worrying you and hurting you. God hears the fervent prayers that are Jesus Calls

offered in the powerful presence of God. He will hear and answers your prayers too.

AMIDST YOU! Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD listened and heard them; so a book of remembrance was written before Him. For those who fear the LORD and who meditate on His name.

(Malachi 3:16) God delights in the `fear of the Lord’. Its like a sweet smelling fragrance to Him (Isaiah 11:3) and that is why when those who fear the Lord speak to one another the Lord immediately descends amidst them and listens and hears them.

There is a Pastor who has a small church. One of the brothers who come to his church suddenly took ill and slipped into coma and was admitted in the hospital. One day as he was leading worship in his church, he heard that this brother has gone into coma. He immediately stopped the worship. He asked the believers to stand on their feet and said, “Brethren! We are now going to pray for our brother who is in the hospital at the 18th wardin the 3rd room. Let’s unite our hearts and mind and pray for his healing. We are all going to travel into His room through prayers…”

The church joined the pastor’s heart and they became one and cried with tears, unto the Lord.

The Pastor led the church in prayer saying, “Lord! Heal our brother right now”. What a miracle! At the same time they prayed for his healing the sick brother awoke from coma and began to eat, drink and walk. That day itself he received complete healing.

The fervent prayers of faithfilled man heal a person. God will raise him up from his sick bed.

Even if he has become sick due to his sin, that sin will be forgiven him (James 5:15). When we come together with one-mind and oneaccord God descends amidst us (Matthew 18:20). This happens even in our family prayers. God descends amidst a family when they come together and pray. God honours such united prayers and leads us and those beloved to us.

Once, we had a meeting to attend in Coimbatore. Just a few minutes before our scheduled time to leave for the meeting I was struck with a head ache. I did not know from where it came and how. I crashed on the bed and began squirming with pain.

My aunties who were with me at that time did so many treatments with oil and ointments but the headache wouldn’t leave.

Suddenly my husband came into my room to check whether I was ready for the meeting and saw me lying on the bed, squirming with pain. He heard what happened to me. He did not panic. He just laid his hands on me and offered a prayer silently. And what a miracle followed! The headache left me instantly. I got up and started to the meeting. Everyone around was amazed.

When we join hands together and pray God descends amidst us and performs a miracle. Those who fear the Lord will talk with each other and the Lord will listen (Malachi 3:16). This is the reason we emphasize on Family Prayer where the Lord will descend amidst.

Even before I could get married we used to have regular family prayer. My mother was a

very religious woman. Even during the days my dad had not known the Lord, my mother convinced him to sit in the family prayers. She gave the `Jesus Calls Song Book’ in his hands and asked him to sing. My dad saw us clapping our hand and singing and to make us more happy, he too joined us and sang. We used to pray asking God to save our father someday.

He too sat there and listened to our prayers. The Lord heard our continuous regular prayers and how much we loved our dad!

Staying amidst our family He worked in the heart of my father and as a result one day my father gave his heart to the Lord. My father was touched during the Family Prayer because the Lord was amidst us. We were all so happy that out father got saved.

Only then they started to look out to get me married. Then they fixed my marriage. My thoughts began to wonder saying, “My dad is a businessman and I have no experience in ministry, and how am I going to do ministry?” Yet! God gave me this blessing. We prayed as a family and since we feared God and loved Him, God chose my family. Today God is taking me to do His ministry all over the world. I never even imagined I will serve God like this. Through me, my family and even my relatives are being blessed.

The same God will bless you too. God will intently listen to your prayers. Do not think that you are just a small family and wonder whether God will hear your prayers. Yes! He will. Whenever you come together to pray He will be there amidst you.

We prayed in our family prayers years back saying, “Lord!

Jesus Calls

Save our family; save our relatives; save our whole village.

And God is answering each of those prayers today. That whole village where we lived has accepted Christ our Lord. Our relatives have come to the Lord.

Today when I go to my village people flock around me asking me to pray for them. Thus the Lord has blessed my whole village. See how good God is.

When we unite our hearts and pray He comes amidst us and performs miracles. He saves us and our beloveds.

Even today we never give - up on our family prayers in which ever part of the world we are; however busy and hectic we are; even if we were to go separately and serve God, we still get in touch and have our family prayers. That is why the Lord has blessed us so much.

God is good and He only sees how much we love Him and fear Him. Look at Moses. In Exodus 33 he says, “Lord! Come with us.

Stay amidst us. It is Your presence with is that makes us special people. Show us Your presence abide with us. This is what he prayed along with His people.

They cried unto the Lord for His presence with them and God too came in their midst and stayed with them. He gave Moses a wonderful promise saying, “My presence shall go before you”.

God will be amidst your family too. God will set a difference between those who fear him and those who do not fear him; between the sinners and the righteous” (Malachi 3:18). Yeah!

God is staying amidst you. He is abiding so near you. He will respond to your prayers positively.

UNEXPECTED PROPERTY I lost my job quite unexpectedly. With no income, I was scared of my future. My wife Sagayamary, my daughter Salome Delfina and I are the partners of the Jesus Calls ministry. As we were struggling without an income, I came to know about the construction of the new Prayer Tower building at Bengaluru and gave an offering.

Explaining our condition, I wrote to Dr. Paul Dhinakaran seeking his prayers. As a family we continued to send offering to the Bengaluru Prayer Tower building. At this time, unexpectedly we received an ancestral property. This land had no value. However, accepting the prayers offered for us, the Lord helped us to get a huge amount from this land. Now we are extending our house in such a way that we would get monthly income from it. Praise be to the Lord who has changed our life into a blessing.

My beloved friend in Christ, Before I begin to pour out my heart I took a few minutes to pray for you from the bottom of my heart that this month of April would be a month of blessing for you. I have prayed for blessings in your personal life; upon your family, upon your business, profession and all the works of your hands and the blessings for which you have been desiring and waiting. Let me also give you a promise from the unfailing word of God. Get this word straight into your heart.

“Your sun shall no longer go down, nor shall your moon withdraw itself; For the Lord will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.” ( Isaiah 60:20)

Since God Himself will be your light, you will shine. Every aspect of your life will shine. Even as you are reading this letter you might be sitting in darkness. You might be waiting for a miracle to happen in your life. But God will shine His light upon your darkness and transform your sorrow into joy.

When Jesus was living in this world a great sorrowful incident happened in Mary’s and Martha’s lives. Their brother Lazarus, whom they loved so much, died and immersed the whole family into deep sorrow. Martha and Mary were filled with tears. It was at that time Jesus entered the situation. And the Bible records saying, “Jesus Wept.”

Look at the God whose heart is moved to tears when He sees His

beloved also in tears, a God who shared their sorrow; felt their pain and like them, wept! (John 11:35).

And note that Jesus was not just a sympathizer. He just did not stop with weeping helplessly. He went ahead and performed a historical miracle. He called out to a man who was dead since 4 days and said, “Come out!”. And the man Lazarus came alive! Friend! You and I have the same Jesus in us.

He will bring back your dead losses alive. He will restore your losses and give you new life.

New Prayer Tower at Bengaluru under Construction: Bengaluru is a growing cosmopolitan city in south Indian state called Karnataka. Around 10 mil-

lion precious souls are living in that city. In a very important part of that city is a place called “Frazer Town” and it is here that the “Prayer Tower” is being constructed in 30,000 sq.feet land.

This Prayer Tower will keep on raining prayers for blessings upon the people of Karnataka, and the leaders of Karnataka, round-theclock. Yes! 24X7 hours!

The Prayer Tower will house a Spiritual Counselling Centre through which in a month around 25,000 people will get prayed-in person, an auditorium where continuous prayer meetings will be conducted, a Chapel and a Training Centre (Prayer Academy) to train prayer warriors to pray fervently for the people who visit the Tower.

This is one beautiful opportunity for you to sow your seed of faith.

You can participate in the building of this house of God by sending in your generous donations through our website www.jesuscalls.org.

You can also personally drop it at the Prayer Tower near your place.

Come share-in the blessings. Build God’s house and God will build your house (2 Samuel 7:11)

Prophetic Prayer Conference God has given us the mission of taking His love; His compassion and His healing power, to the millions of people in India and around the world - people of every nation, tribe and language. This can be done, not only by training people to pray effectively for themselves but also to pray fervently for others.

This has to be done through teaching them under the direction and guidance of God. We have therefore planned to raise a group of people who can pray powerfully and by walking with the Jesus Calls

Ministries, prepare the world for the second Coming of Jesus Christ. “... these women who laboured with me in the gospel, with.. the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.”

Your beloved brother,

Dr. Paul Dhinakaran.

Own house in the desired place We used to often visit the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower for prayers.

I got teacher’s job after 17 years because of the prayers offered here.

My mother Mrs. Regina Jebamani and our family regularly sponsor the Jesus Calls Television programmes on special occasions such as wedding anniversary, birth days and on special days. Thus far we have sponsored 6 programmes and my mother sends offering for the TV Club ministry regularly. Since a long time, we had been praying to own a house in Ernavoor Chennai. Once when we sponsored a TV programme, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran prayed that the Lord should bless us with an airy house of our own. Another time Sister Stella Dhinakaran quoted the verse Jeremiah 29:5 and prayed saying, ‘You will build houses and dwell in them; plant gardens and eat their fruit’. Accepting the prayers offered by us, who support this ministry, the Lord has blessed us with a good house.

Tumour vanished in a jiffy I had been suffering from a tumour since 7 years. I came to this meeting and was praying during which time Dr. Paul Dhinakaran said, “All those who have tumour may place their hand on the affected area and pray with me”. I did so and prayed with faith and with much tears. That time the tumour shrunk to nothing as if a balloon has been pricked. The Lord Jesus touched me and granted me complete healing. Glory be to His name.

Pain gone After a surgery in my spine, I could neither sit straight nor stand erect. I would develop burning sensation in my spinal cord and my both legs would go numb. I used to writhe in severe pain. When Sam and Sweety conducted the worship service, I felt a cold breeze touching my body. Immediately the pain which was tormenting me vanished completely. The Lord Himself has touched me and healed me. Hallelujah!

- Kirubamma

Called by name I was suffering severely from pain on my C 4 and C5 bones in the spinal cord. Two months back I took a scan and underwent medical treatment; but it was of no use. I came to this meeting with much worry and was praying. Dr. Paul Dhinakaran called out my name and said, “Ananda Rao, you have spinal problem.

Jesus has touched you and healed you a moment ago. I have never met you. But the Holy Spirit shows you to me. Come to the stage”. As he said these, I assumed that he might be calling someone else. But since the Lord mentioned my problem, I understood that He was calling me. Hallelujah!

- Ananda Rao

Peaceful sleep

“Jesus did many other things as well...”

(John 21:25)

Because of my job, I had severe pain at the back of my head, since the past two years. All the medical treatments proved futile. I could not sleep for 40 days. On the first day of the meeting, when Dr. Paul Dhinakaran prayed, I felt my body becoming light. As I was praying with closed eyes, a bright light shone before my face. That night, I slept peacefully, like a baby. Also when Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran was praying I felt someone putting the sign of cross on my forehead. Now I am happy.

came to this meeting with the prayer that the Lord should somehow touch me and heal me. Knowing my misery, Jesus filled Dr. Paul Dhinakaran with the power of the Holy Spirit and made him call me by my name and say, “Sri Devi, the Lord has now touched you. The Holy Spirit comes upon you. The power of the evil spirits leaves you right now. You are going to sing beautifully for the name of Jesus.

Now rise up and receive your healing”. My throat pain completely vanished. Now I am able to breathe freely. The Lord has healed me completely. Glory to Jesus.

- Sri Devi

Cysts Vanished I had many cysts on my back because of which I was suffering a lot since the past few years. I came to this meeting with the determination that somehow I should be healed. I joined Dr. Paul Dhinakaran in the prayer and was praying with faith. That time, by the Holy Spirit, he called out my name and said, “ I see a name Padma.

You have many cysts and fleshly growths on your body. Now Jesus heals you”. I was filled with a great joy and the Lord touched me and healed me. All the cysts and growths have gone. Glory to Jesus.

- Padma.

Spirit of fear departs I was praying for the anointing of the Holy Spirit and His power,

during this meeting. That time Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran said, “All the evil spirits that are tormenting you are leaving”. Immediately I saw a dark figure going out of me. The Holy Spirit filled me with His power, which I could not bear.

I jumped up in joy and thanked God. The Lord Jesus came down, hugged and kissed me. I am so happy. I was always gripped by a spirit of fear. Now the spirit of fear is completely gone from me.

- Sandhya, Sulurpet.

Called and blessed I underwent lot of problems in my life. I was in agony as my daughter’s marriage settlement was getting delayed. As I was praying in this meeting, filled with the Holy Spirit, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran said, “I see a name Rathnam. The hand of God is coming upon you.

You would get back all that you had lost in double measure” My joy knew no bounds. The Lord knows my name. He would bless me in double measure. Glory to Jesus.

New hope

I had been affected by facial paralysis since the past 8 years. During the prayer time, filled with the Holy Spirit, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran said, “Reshma, you are facing loss after loss. You lament who would marry you. The Lord sees your tears. As you hold on to Him, He will surely open a new and prosperous way for you.

Days of peace are coming for you.

Since you are God’s ambassador, He will exalt you”. On hearing this, my heart was filled with joy and a new hope. Hallelujah. - Reshma.

God of promise The Lord gave me vision in which I saw Dr. Paul Dhinakaran placing his hand on my head and praying for me. During the meeting Dr. Paul Dhinakaran called out my name and said, “Rebecca, the Lord hears your prayers. Rebecca, the Spirit of the Lord is coming upon you.

You would get back all that you had lost in double measure. You prayed and are praying. You would recover your losses. Now the Lord is doing a miracle for you. You would see a miracle. There shall be peace in your family”. As he said these, I rejoiced in the Lord.

Hallelujah!

I thank God for the grace and mercy that He has shown upon me. I also thank God for bringing me to Karunya University to fulfil His plan for me. From my childhood I was an average student. I was clueless about my future career but God had a beautiful plan.

The moment I started seeking Him; He did a great a great miracle in my academics. I scored good marks in all my semesters. When I entered my final year, I had the fear of getting placed in campus interview. At that time the Lord promised me from Isaiah 61:7 which says “Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion…” and exactly as He said I had double placement. I was placed in two MNC’s. All glory to God alone. I also take this opportunity to thank all my staff and the University administration for taking great efforts to place all the students.

I was very passionate about programming from my school days and always aimed to be a software engineer. Department of CSE offered me the ideal opportunity to broaden my programming skills and encouraged me to participate in programming events where I won several prizes in various colleges in Tamil Nadu and also provided me the opportunity to develop my leadership and general management skills and encouraged me to coordinate and lead various Departmental events which helped me develop a positive attitude and discover more about myself. During my college life I was offered summer internship at Tata Steel Ltd. (Twice) in the IT department which provided me industry level experience in Network Security, Artificial Intelligence and Automation. I am really thankful to the CPT and Department placement cell for conducting various events towards the placement training which gave me 6 placement offers (M/s. Infosys, M/s. Wipro, M/s.

The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin (I John 1:7).

We all stumble in many things and this becomes a sin (James 3:2).

Samuel, the man of God, says, ‘I would sin if I cease to pray for you’ (I Samuel 12:23). Not doing good when it is in the power of hand is a sin (Proverbs 3:27; James 4:17; Genesis 4:7). Whatever is not from faith is sin (Romans 14:23). Thus, many kinds of sin are seen in our lives. Hence Jesus advocates with the Father, for us.

Jesus, who died and rose again is today seated at the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19). There He is seen as the slain. Even today, He is seated on the throne with wounds (Revelation 5:6; 13:8). At this state, He pleads to God saying, “This son/daughter is weak. Forgive him/ her of his/her sins. Let him/her not be punished for this wrong deed”.

Yes, He intercedes for us, as the One who is weak.

“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world” (Galatians 6:14).

The President of a particular country loved me dearly. Quite unexpectedly, he was killed by wicked people. After that, his daughter once came to see me. She gave me a beautiful pen and said, “Sir, I know how much my father loved you. So I am giving this pen which was his precious possession, as a gift for you”. I got it from her, with trembling hands. My eyes did not look at the pen or at the daughter’s face, but I saw the face of the deceased. I shed tears, remembering him.

Similar is the cross. There is nothing special about it to glorify it. But, we remember the Lord Jesus, the Lord of the cross and His sacrifice and hence we glorify the cross. This is because the Bible too says, ‘Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us’ (Romans 8:34) My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous’ (I John 2:1).

Deliverance from wicked men Paul says, ‘..pray for us… that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith’ (II Thessalonians 3:1,2).

Many are the problems in this world because of the wicked people. So Jesus pleads for us saying, “My Father, remember the sufferings inflicted upon Me by the wicked people; You made me lament ‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?’ (Psalm 22:1).

So don’t forget My children who suffer thus. Help them” When I was working in the Bank, I had a higher official in one of the branches. He was a heartless man. On many days, I used to work up to midnight 12 O’ clock. Yet the next day I would go to the office at 8.30 AM sharp.

One day I went to the office at

8.35 AM. I said “Good Morning” and he asked me why I was late by five minutes. I said, “Sir, yesterday I went home from office only at 3 O’ Clock early morning.

So I was delayed a little. Please forgive me”. He said harshly, “I am talking about today. You are talking about yesterday”. I cried bitterly. Suddenly he was transferred to another place. I was given promotion and held the post of that officer. Days passed!

I was posted in the Chennai Head Quarters as a higher officer. One day, I heard an argument going on near my room. I called a coworker and asked him what was happening. He said, “Sir, an officer has come to see you. Since you are busy, I refused to send him to your room”. I asked him the name of the officer and he mentioned it. I was shocked since it was the same officer who used to harass me a lot. Today, the Lord Jesus had lifted me up to such a great position that he had to wait before my room to meet me for two minutes. I went to him personally and brought him to my room happily. Yes, the Lord had now lifted me up to many more levels than his earlier position.

Yes, dear ones, when wicked people constrain us, the Lord Jesus pleads for us that we should be delivered out of their hands. “Save My children” – Thus pleading, He saves us from the blast of the terrible ones (Isaiah 25:4).

Provides our needs He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:32).

The Lord knows what our needs in life are (Matthew 6:38). So He intercedes for us saying, “God, re-

member My poverty state when I was in the world’ (II Corinthians 8:9). “I gave Myself up on the cross. So let My children live without any lack” – He thus intercedes for us who suffer in that state.

Several years back, I was working in the city of Bengaluru.

One Saturday, as was my custom, I did ministry in many places, along with the pastor. I came back home at 12 O’ Clock at night. My wife asked me, ‘Do you know what day is tomorrow?” I said that it was Sunday. She said, “Not only that, it is also Easter. We’ve not bought a single dress for our son”. That time, we were walking through a terrible path of poverty. My wife used to happily wear torn sari.

She used to mend my torn pants for me to wear. We faced so much of financial crisis. I went to bed.

I could not sleep. I was thinking about our situation. Suddenly an angel appeared beside me. He said, “Get up; go and open the trunk box in your house”. I asked him, “My old clothes are in that box. Why should I open it?”. He made me follow him to the trunk box and opened it. I saw the layer of old clothes and asked him, ‘Didn’t I tell you?” He said with a smile, “Remove those clothes”. I did so. I saw bundles of money beneath those clothes.

All new notes! I could not believe my eyes. He asked me to use the money and vanished. I called out to my wife and asked her if she had kept money there and she said, “No”. It was the happiest Easter for us, the next day.

Yes, God does not show personal favoritism to any man (Galatians 2:6). He will do similarly for you too. God will never reject the pleas of Jesus Christ. Surely He will make you see signs and Jesus Calls

Saves us to the utmost “Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them” (Hebrews 7:25).

The Bible says that during the time of our sorrow, sickness and suffering, ‘I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him’ (Psalm 91:15).

I underwent a heart surgery in the year 1990. After that, once the doctor wanted to test me. He used to treat me with so much of love and concern and so brought all the machines to our house. He made me lie down in a room; fixed those instruments to my heart. Three other doctors were observing the monitor. The light was switched off; I was lying down and praying. Suddenly I felt a thin hand touching my forehead and I opened my eyes. My granddaughter Sharon was sitting beside me. She looked pale out of fear that something had happened to me, her grandfather.

She came close to me and gripped my hands. She did not take away her hands until the tests were over. So much of love and concern for me!

Yes, do not worry. The Lord Jesus too would come closer to you at times of sorrow and place His hands on your forehead. He will hold your hands. He will save you to the utmost.

According II Timothy 4:17,18, He will save you from every evil work. Finally He will take you to heaven. He will save us until then.

A day will come when God would invite us saying, “You have toiled hard; come and rest on My bosom”. What joy! What a bliss! We  will take rest on His bosom.

Training to face EXAMINATIONS!

“My name is Bhuvaneshwari. I reside in the village of Melkavarapettu. After my father’s death, the responsibilities of my family fell on my mother ’s shoulders. Being uneducated, she could only find odd jobs for her daily wages. Being the eldest among three daughters, I realized that I must do something to help my mother and support my two younger sisters. I am now 18 years old. I cannot afford to go to college, but I wish that my sisters will be able to receive an education. It was only recently that I came to know about SEESHA. I have gained a lot of clarity and confidence about my future with the help of SEESHA. I am now being trained in tailoring at the SEESHA Tailoring Centre. I am also doing odd jobs wherever possible. Since the tailoring course is free of cost, I am able to make savings for my family. When I complete this course, I will be able to earn more and help my sisters settle well with the assistance of SEESHA.”

SEESHA has been working with children since 2003. Over the years, our experience of working with them has made us sensitive to their unspoken needs. Children sometimes require more than just lessons and notes to face examinations. They need guidance and motivation to tackle their anxieties, prepare in smart ways and perform well in the exams. Keeping this need in mind, SEESHA organized a series of pre-examination guidance and career guidance programmes in Chennai and Cuddalore for the Class X and Class XII students in the SEESHA Tuition Centres and Government schools from the communities we work with in Tamil Nadu. This was of great benefit to them.

GIFT A SCHOOL KIT, GIFT AN EDUCATION, GIFT A FUTURE!

One of SEESHA’s most popular projects is the annual distribution of school kits to needy and orphaned children from downtrodden communities across India. As the new academic year approaches, SEESHA is getting ready to gift school kits to 25,000 children. Each school kit is a treasure chest for such a child; it comes with a school bag, a water bottle, notebooks, pens, pencils, and other stationery items.

For children living in poverty, a school kit is a boost of selfconfidence when they are with their peers. It is a motivation to go to school, preventing them from dropping-out and helps them have a better future.

W

e read about a woman

called

Lydia, in the Bible.

She belonged to the church of Thyatira. She was a seller of purple; lived with fear of God. One day, Paul, the man of God and his associates gathered on the river side where it was their custom to pray. When Lydia and certain other women went there, Paul and his co –workers preached to them. On hearing it, Lydia’s heart was greatly moved and she had a burden that she should follow the Lord with a faithful mind and heart.

From that day, her life was trans-

formed completely. Because of her genuine love for the Lord, she lovingly invited Paul, the man of God and his co-workers, to her house.

Not only that, she immediately decided how she would delight the Lord’s heart by obeying His Words spiritually and focused on it (Acts 16:13-15).

Thus, there was a turning point in her life. In order that we too, like Lydia, would receive a new life, the Lord Jesus gave up His own life on the cross.

have overcome the world."

(John 16:33) According to this verse, taking upon Himself our sufferings, on the cross, He underwent terrible agony.

‘We esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted’. But it is not so. He suffered for our sake (Isaiah 53:4,5). In this world, we languish without peace because of wicked natures such as ‘disobedience, jealousy and haughtiness’.

But the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, according to His name, ‘Prince of Peace’. This divine peace comes into us, when we

trust Him and hold on to Him (Isaiah 26:3). Not only that, the power that proceeds out of His wounds heals our sicknesses and infirmities.

Dear ones, if the Lord Jesus had not offered Himself as a sacrifice for us on the cross, none of us could have received this new divine life. Everybody should have offered sacrifice as atonement for every one of his/her sin. But, now when we meditate on Jesus, who suffered for us on the cross, the glorious new life paves way for us to live with Him eternally, forever and ever.

Let us meditate on the blessings that we would receive by thinking of the sufferings of the Lord on the cross:

Blossoming life: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

(II Corinthians 5:17).

us, who are dead in sin, alive just as how He rose up on the third day after His death. ‘By grace we have been saved through faith’. This salvation is an incomparable gift of God to us (Ephesians 2:8).

Even today, many women form their lives according to the world, conduct themselves in the lusts of flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and are by nature children of wrath. So many families struggle because of filth in their heart caused by the lust of the eye and flesh and jealousy.

Many are the mothers-in-law, who find sadistic pleasures in separating their son and daughter-inlaw for the reason that the daughter-in-law had not brought much dowry or out of jealousy that she should not be happy with their son or because of other reasons such as love for money and pride.

world is transitory. What is the guarantee that we, who live today, would be alive tomorrow? ‘Behold, now is the accepted time’ (II Corinthians 6:2). So, let us receive this life, in all reverence. Discarding all the paltry things of the world that are full of darkness, let us live by making our life blossom by receiving the life of Jesus and let us also delight others. With tears, let us confess all our shortcomings at the feet of Jesus. Let us receive from Him a life that would please Him. “ Of course, this thing is displeasing to the Lord. Yet, somehow even without my knowledge, I am caught up in this. What should I do now? How to come out of it?” – Dear sister, who thus languishes, first of all make a decision to discard your old bondages of sin and enter into a new life. Then the Lord will grant you the divine strength to be delivered from your old sinful life. After that, apart from making your life blossom, the Lord will also change you in such a way that you would make others’ lives to blossom.

There was a woman, who was leading a wayward life, separated from her husband because of problems in her married life. One day, she realized the terribleness of her life. She sought the Lord Jesus and was filled with His divine peace.

All the peace and joy that she had lost until then, came back to her.

Healing shall spring forth: “Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard” (Isaiah 58:8).

In the beginning, the Lord, who created Adam and Eve, interacted with them in the cool of the day and found delight in their fellowship. Similarly, even today, He gives His presence to those who seek Him and finds immense pleasure in living with them. This is what is expressed by His dear disciple John, who says delightedly, “…our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ’ ( I John 1:3).

Jesus Himself has said, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him” (John 14:23).

Not stopping with that specific time, if we keep talking to Him always, it would help us enjoy His sweet presence always.

When we accept the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour, our life takes a new turn and we enjoy the privilege of living joyfully. Divine peace which the world cannot give us fills us.

We cannot be partakers of eternal life if we have the old human nature in us even after claiming, “I’ve accepted Jesus”. Today we see many children of God giving room to the devil, unable to join with God fully as the devilish natures such as pride, haughtiness and ego abide in their hearts. Their lives are darkened because of this.

Spirit of fear gone I have the habit of getting up early in the morning and praying.

This made my family members conclude that I was demon possessed. They hindered me from attending this meeting. However I managed to come here with great difficulty. Here I prayed with much tears and agony. Seeing my tears, the Lord has filled me with divine peace. The spirit of fear in me is gone. Jesus has given me deliverance.

God will surely grant her healing”. So I came to this meeting with tears but did not bring my daughter. During the prayer time, I prayed with tears that she should be healed of her epilepsy and breathing problem. After the prayer, when I contacted home through phone, my husband said that the Lord had touched and healed her completely. The epilepsy and breathing problem were gone. Hallelujah!

Gift of child after 10 years My son, married since 10 years, had no child because of which everyone started criticizing us. In 2013, as I was listening to dear mother sharing God’s message in the TV programme, I saw a few people sharing their testimony.

During the prayer time, I prayed with tears saying, “Lord, my son has no child even after 10 years of married life. Please bless my son with a child”. After that when they went for a medical test, doctor said that my daughter-in-law had fibroids. At this time I made a prayerful vow saying that I would attend the meeting in Bethesda as a family if my son was blessed with a child and share the testimony for His name. The Lord, who accepted my vow, has blessed my son with a boy baby, this year. Glory to the Lord.

ANSWER: “…that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God” (Colossians 1:9,10).

Full explanation for your question could be seen in the above Scripture Verses. First of all, you need to get filled with the knowl-

edge, wisdom and understanding of the Lord in your daily life and fulfil His will. We read about the excellence of the Lord’s wisdom in Romans 11:33, Colossians 2:3, and Proverbs 2:6,7. Yes, His wisdom is unfathomable. The following verse tells us that He certainly gives His wisdom to those who ask for it with desire.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without

reproach, and it will be given to him” (James 1:5).

Today, we may be found wanting in many things. Take the case of the children, who would be appearing for their exams. An unknown fear and dread fill them during exam times, no matter how well they are prepared, and make them confused. But, according to this verse, if they ask for and receive this wisdom from the Lord and then write their exams, there

is no doubt that the Lord’s wisdom would grant them blessings in a miraculous way.

Dear parents, explain this to your children. Tell them to kneel down and ask the Lord for this. The Lord is the One, who hears our prayer (Psalm 65:2). Besides, He lovingly heeds the pleas of the little children. So, dear mothers, apart from praying for your children, teach them to pray to the Lord to receive God’s wisdom. First of all, Jesus Calls

you should place all your fears and worries at His feet and trust Him (I Peter 5:7).

Likewise, certain everyday things of the world cause us fear, anxiety and worries. To receive deliverance from all these, we need the divine wisdom of the Lord. So, kneel down and confess to Him saying, “Lord, my ways are imperfect’. When you live in the righteous ways pleasing to Him, according to the verse, ‘He stores up

sound wisdom for the upright’ (Proverbs 2:7), He will surely grant you His wisdom. It would be an amazing experience for you!

I would like to share with you an amusing incident that happened in my life. Until my marriage, despite my mother’s advice, I was spending my time in eating, sleeping and in dressing up. I got married! We started living on our own. In those days many relatives and friends would

visit us quite often. I would be bemused by their visits because I would be terrified how I would cook for them and how much. It was a mountain like problem to me to run the family thriftily with a meager income. One day, I was alone at home perturbed over all these. I knelt down and prayed to the Lord saying, “Lord, when my mother advised me to learn everything, I ignored it, out of pride. Please forgive my pride.

Now You are my everything! I firmly hold on to You alone.

From today, let Your divine wisdom be manifested in me, in all the matters – both big and small.

Yes, please guide me with wisdom in everything. Thank You, Lord”. That’s all! I felt as if I had received a big blessing. Even without my knowledge, I began to praise Him. That was all!

Though I was alone that time, I could feel the Lord being with me. After that, God Himself was the wisdom to me in everything in such a way that all the guests and friends who visited us would appreciate me saying, “How beautifully you are running your family!”. Even in cooking, by the wisdom of God, I received His help to prepare different kinds of dishes. This experience gave me the grace to draw closer to the Lord more and more.

My dear sisters, if you too would like to fear God and follow the righteous way pleasing to Him, ask the Lord for the needed wisdom. Do not give room for unwanted quarrels, suspicions, confusions and problems. Bitterness and agony fill our lives, especially family life because of such things.

But you should hold on to the Lord firmly, walk in the ways pleasing to Him and ask Him for His wis-

dom. You would enjoy a great peace in your family. This is the divine peace given by God. Those who receive this would never have worries or fears. The Lord will give them rest on all sides. So, examine whether you are walking in the righteous way. Then you would surely receive His wisdom.

Read Ephesians 4:22-24 and put off your ‘old man which grows corrupt’. Then the Lord will grant you a new spirit. The grace of God will abound in you to make you live a godly life with righteousness and holiness. When you cling on to the Lord with devotion and live a life of reading the Bible and praying every day, you will receive God’s image. You will then put on the ‘new man’ and become pleasing to the Lord. He too would be pleased with you.

Along with this, when you receive the anointing and fullness of the Holy Spirit that was in the life of Christ Jesus, He Himself would lead you to live a holy and acceptable life to Him. About this we read in Proverbs 14:1, ‘The wise woman builds her house’. Is your life destroyed today as you had failed to be a wise woman? If so, kneel down right where you are now. Commit yourself to the Lord.

Confess all your shortcomings to Him. Then He will wash you with His blood and cleanse you. After that, learn to thank Him for all the benefits that He does for you. Let your words come out as the sacrifice of praise. As you keep offering Him the sacrifice of praise, the presence of God will over power you. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. He will lead you

by hand in order that you would bear fruits of good works.

The Lord has given me a ministry called ‘Esther Prayer Group’. This is a prayer ministry done by groups of women to pray for the needs of other women. The lives of many women, who participate in this, are changed by God and they live a new life because of holding on to the promises of God and praying to Him. Quarrelsome women get filled with peace and become children of God; sisters, who indulge in vain talk, now open their mouth only to glorify the name of the Lord. The reason, when all of them gather to pray, the Holy Spirit takes control of them, fills them with His Spirit and changes their lives upside down. This is the wonderful blessing that the women receive through the Esther Prayer Group. As a result they bear fruits of good works.

Getting filled with the knowledge of knowing God, they help others. Also they excel as pleasing vessels to the Lord.

My dear sisters, read and examine these carefully in the light of the Scriptures and ask the Lord for this blessing. He, who asks receives (Matthew 7:8). This is the Lord’s Word. He will fill you accordingly. God shows no partiality (Acts 10:34). He wants to fulfil all your wishes and pleas and change you into a vessel, pleasing to Him. May the Lord grant this excellent grace to each one of you, who reads this, make you arise and shine as stars in your family and as sun before other women, even  this year and bless you!

Prashanth from Chennai shares a fascinating testimony - “ Last year I had appeared for my +2 exams. Prior to the exams I was affected by an unknown disease which caused a loss in sleep, thereby affecting my examination preparation.

he whole area was sur rounded by flood; the bus stopped and a few curious passengers got down. Suresh, who was listening to everyone talking, got down and inquired what was happening. The river ahead of them overflowed.

“Look at the waters! It’s like a big river… good thing, the driver stopped the bus. Otherwise, our bus would’ve been washed away by the flood”.

“Yea, I was also wondering about it. There was no river in this area… only a small brook… See how the waters have swelled…”

When would the water level come down? When would the driver start the bus? – Everybody was at a loss to know what to do further. Only few mobiles worked.

Others had no net connection. With no other option, everybody continued to wait for more than an hour.

The speed and level of water kept increasing and made it impossible to cross over the ‘river’. Traffic came to a standstill.

“No, we can’t drive the bus…

It seems there is a heavy flood in Chennai… We can drive only when the water recedes…Those who would like to go back, can get the balance amount..” – On hearing this from the driver and bus con-

ductor, almost everyone got back their money and got ready to go back. Some begged for a seat in vans, call taxis and cars which were about to return and got into them. Suresh did not know what to do.

“It’d be difficult for you to go back once it becomes dark… Better go back, son. Heavy floods in Chennai…. Velacherry, Tambaram etc., are flooded…” So saying the driver got down from the bus.

Suresh was returning from Vizhupuram after attending his friend’s wedding. Now the bus was stopped somewhere away from Tindivanam. “Will I able to get a good hotel or room in these places?” – As he was wondering about it, he suddenly remembered something and opened his wallet and took out a visiting card.

Seven months ago, when he met an uncle who was a distant relative of his father, in a wedding, he had extended a warm invitation to him informing him that his house was near a church in Tindivanam.

Thanking God, he got into an auto and reached the house.

“I know him for the past twenty years or so…everybody here knows the house of the ‘Teacher’.

Seeing him is like seeing Jesus” This was the testimony about ïnaR V¥uš 2016 www.jesuscalls.org JesusmiH¡»wh® Calls  April 2016  www.jesuscalls.org

his uncle, from the auto man.

“Oh, are you talking about Rajasekar? He is an ignorant person… doesn’t know how to make a living… he’s working as a teacher and roams around places saying that he’s doing village ministry” This was what his father told about the uncle, several years back.

As he stepped in, his uncle rushed towards him, hugged him and kissed him. Suresh narrated what had happened.

“So, you don’t know what happened to your house? Water went in and damaged all your things including your car…”

‘What! Water entered into our house and damaged the Rs.25 lakhs worth car? Who said so? I couldn’t contact anyone…”

“I spoke to your mother since your father could not be reached on his mobile. Now they are in the first floor. No electricity… the water has reached the neck level….”

Uncle kept talking. He spoke to him about how God intervened in his life and how happy he was in living for Him. His aunt called out to them to have their dinner. After the family prayer, they dined and

Suresh relished every item prepared by his aunt. He then saw a room filled with the pictures of many churches.

“Did you preach in these churches, uncle?”

“No… all these churches have been built by your uncle” – Said

his aunt in all humility and he was proud to hear it.

“These churches, built for the Lord by my uncle, by committing himself to Him, stand aloft. But the house built by my father for his own comfort is flooded with waters. No use of the car! No use in

But here, this abundant life could never be destroyed…” His heart understood this truth and he was filled with joy.

‘Will render…eternal life to those who seek for …immortality” (Romans 2:7).

Wonderful work According to the verse, ‘The Lord has done great things for us, And we are glad’, the Lord has given His grace to all the sisters who joined the Esther Prayer group and did not know how to pray to now read the word of God much, pray boldly and have early morning as well as family prayer. It is amazing to see those who were feeling shy to pray initially, now praying cheerfully. Glory be to God. - Ruby Paulraj, Madurai.

Glorious presence of God I am the leader of the Esther Prayer Group in our area. The prayer points and the promise verse sent by Sister Stella Dhinakaran for the Esther Prayer Group have a deep impact in our mind. Through them, we are able to enjoy the glorious presence of God. I give all

glory to the Lord for such spiritual blessings which we are enjoying through the Esther Prayer Group.

Miraculous change Sister Shara of our Esther Prayer group was backslidden and was far away from the love of Christ. We, as sisters in the Esther Prayer Group, prayed for her to be drawn back to Christ. Hearing the prayer, the Lord made her repent and become His child. Now she gets up at 4.00 AM and is progressing in her spiritual life by praying and seeking the Lord early in the morning. Glory to the Lord.

Tumour vanished A sister in our group had a tumour on her chest. She was scared. As a group we encouraged her with words of faith and prayed for her with burden. The very next day after the prayer, the tumour burst on its own accord and vanished. Praise be to the name of God for doing this miracle.

Saw a glorious light I am the leader of the Esther Prayer Group in our area. During

the prayer time of the Esther Prayer Group, I felt a glorious light surrounding us; the sisters of the group too felt the mighty and glorious presence of the Lord. In a vision they saw a narrow path going towards the throne of the Lord. A bright light was surrounding the throne. Holy Spirit spoke to Sis. Alice and Sis. Avina and they were encouraged by the promise verses.

Sis. Monalisa received fire anointing. Sis. Sweety experienced divine peace and was strengthened in the Lord. Sis. Sarala was thrilled to see a bright light. Sis. Vimala saw Jesus standing in our midst. Glory to God for the divine experiences bestowed upon us during the Esther Prayer Group prayer time.

GOD’S MIRACLES IN THE YOUTH ESTHER PRAYER GROUP God spoke and strengthened me I am the leader of the Youth Esther Prayer Group. In the month of December, because of a tough situation, I was highly dejected and in tears and was greatly distressed. At this time, at 10.00 PM, on December 16, I was watching the Jesus Calls Hour of Hope TV programme in the Sathyam TV. The Lord spoke to me through dear mother Stella Dhinakaran. Though I know that we should rejoice in the Lord, I always used to worry and shed tears whenever problems confronted me. Though I had the anointing, I had no joy. The Lord spoke about these things to me through dear mother, prophetically. He spoke to me through her prophetic words that in order to overcome this weakness I should get filled with the Spirit every day. Through this Hour of Hope TV programme, I got the hope that I can arise and shine for the Lord. Glory to the Lord.

- K. Pavithra, Salem.

e read in this promise verse, how dearly the Lord loves each one of us and leads us. This is indeed pleasant! When difficulties crop up, many are troubled saying, “Oh, I am all alone; nobody is there to show me love!” Dear ones, such thoughts are wrong. The Lord loves each one of us dearly, without partiality. It is His pleasure to be with us always and dwell with us. Let us think awhile whether we have this Lord as our dear Friend in our

life. How would a person conduct himself with his friend? He would often think how he could be of help to his friend and how he could make him happy. Similarly, the Lord too wants to keep talking to us, help us at the right time and be a good Friend to us.

When we study the life of Abraham, we see that God was with him as a good Friend (Isaiah 41:8; II Chronicles 20:7; James 2:23). We read in these verses that He was with Abraham as a good Friend. You too should enjoy this delightful experience. Let His

words be pleasant to you! Every word in the Bible has been written through the Holy Spirit. So, when we read them diligently, the Lord would speak to us through His Word. Do you know what a sweet experience this is? You too can talk to the Lord just as how Moses spoke – ‘as a man speaks to his friend’ (Exodus 33:11). This is prayer. Today, many ask, “I don’t know how to pray. Please send me a written prayer”. No, dear ones, whatever you feel like saying, you may tell it to the Lord. Prayer is not a difficult thing. Speaking to God about whatever comes in your mind is prayer. Thank Him in faith for all the benefits that you would be receiving from Him. As you

thus keep talking to Him, God’s presence will fill you.

This is how Moses stayed in the presence of God for several days and spoke to Him. Not feeling lonely, he was happy in the presence of the Lord. Heeding all that he spoke, the Lord led him by His hand. You too should follow this.

You should never give room for anxiety or worries. “My Lord is sufficient for me. He will speak to me about what I should do, through His Word” – With this hope, you must read the Bible diligently and pray to Him, however terrible your situation may be.

Once, in my life, I faced a hard situation. I received a few invitations from abroad for ministry.

Until then I had never been to foreign countries by myself. Of course, I had gone with my husband to do ministry. So I was deeply troubled over this state.

It is my custom to go to church on the first day of every month and submit all my pleas at the feet of the Lord. When I thus went to church that month, the pastor gave a beautiful message on the basis of the verse,

“For by You I can run against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him” (Psalm 18:29,32).

me; gave me the appropriate words; He, Himself accomplished His will. I returned home joyfully. Yes, the Lord Himself perfected everything for me. He was sufficient for me even in my journeys and ministry. Truly God was with me.

Read the Book of Esther in the Bible. A great destruction was about to fall upon her Jewish tribe.

What did she do? She humbled herself for three days and held on to the feet of the Lord. It is not an easy thing to approach the king and talk to him. The Lord was with her and put in her mouth the right words. By those words, she received only blessings and no other problem cropped up. The destruction which was about to befall on her and her tribe was changed upside down and was made into a blessing.

My dear sisters, read this verse well and believe it so that this promise would bring you a great blessing. “Truly the Lord loves me.

He is with me. He will never forsake me”.

Secondly, hold on to Him fully believing, “I am under His hand; He knows what my needs are. He would surely give me whatever I ask Him by waiting at His pres-

I, who was sitting there with apprehension and worry, felt as if the Lord was speaking directly to me through these words and I was made bold with strength in my soul (Psalm 138:3). After that I began to fast and pray to prepare 18 messages which I had to share for three days. God’s presence wonderfully filled me on all the three days. He strengthened Jesus Calls

ence, according to, “Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us” (Ephesians 3:20).

Thirdly, believing that the Words He reveals to us would surely come to pass, let us examine His teachings and strengthen ourselves.

Dear sisters, a life devoid of prayer is vain. A family that does not pray is empty. So, mend your life and have fellowship with the Lord by joining Him through incessant prayer as much as possible.

Then this promise will be fulfilled in your life and you will surely receive full blessings in your life. This promise will surely be fulfilled in your life no matter how much worry, burden and trial the devil may try to bring for you. You shall indeed be blessed.

Dear sisters, do you live close with the Lord, as His friend? – examine this and confess all your shortcomings at His feet.

‘When Jesus, who is the perfect One has come, then that which is in part will be done away” ( I Corinthians 13:10).

Esther Prayer Group Conference: 430 women from 62 Esther Prayer Groups in and around Vellore had gathered for the Esther Prayer Group conference held at 11.00 AM, on February 27, 2016, in Vellore Central Church. Dear mother Stella Dhinakaran encouraged the participants with the Word of God and prayed with compassion for everyone to be soaked with fire anointing and shine as blazing fire. There was a mighty out pouring of the Holy Spirit that time and the Lord made everyone rejoice in the spirit. Dear mother’s individual prayer at the close of the meeting was of great blessing to all of us. - Mrs. Vimala Jeyachandran, Vellore “I am a member of the Esther Prayer Group conducted by Sis. Vimala Jeyachandran in Vellore. Before attending the Esther Prayer Group conference held on February 27, I used to be short tempered. I would easily lose my temper to anyone. I used to speak harshly to people. When I attended this meeting and was praying I made a vow that I would not lose my temper and hurt people. I was deeply touched by Sis. Stella Dhinakaran’s message and realized that I should be at peace with everyone. The Lord has removed my wicked nature and has filled me with His divine nature. I thank Him and give Him all glory” - R.Rajee Ramachandran, Vellore.
