nce, a survey was taken: “Have you ever fumbled while taking decisions in your life? Do you take decisions in your life, on your own or do you go by what others say? ‘ “I would decide to do what appears hundred percent right to me and would follow that…” “I have fumbled so many times; that time my parents guided me well’. Everyone gave a different answer. Many falter in so many ways, when it comes to taking decisions in life. As they fail to take the right decisions and opt for wrong ones,

life becomes bleak. As a result they deride themselves; or they get angry with the person who guided them to take such wrong decisions. They get annoyed which results in bitterness. How to take the correct decisions in life and walk in the good ways?

Will of God ‘…having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself’ (Ephesians 1:9) You should be aware that the Almighty God has kept a definite plan for everybody’s life.

He has decided as to in which things everyone should be involved and what should happen to them at what time. Those who find out those plans and God’s will and decide accordingly and lead their lives would abide. The Bible says, ‘he who does the will of God abides forever’ (I John 2:17). In such people’s lives there would not be any fumbling. Rather their life would be steady, prosperous and would abide forever. Taking the form of man, the Almighty God came to this world as Jesus Christ; He lived as a man; in those days when He was in this world, He lived an exemplary life

in order to show us the way to live. Though He was God incarnate, He lived in the way humankind should live to receive God’s blessings (John 13:15; I Peter 2:21). He said, ‘Not My will, but Yours…” (Luke 22:42). He said, “I am in this world not to do My will but to fulfil the Will of My heavenly Father and the Almighty God. I do not speak on My own; nor do I do anything on My own. I am here in this world to finish My father’s will’ (John 5:30; 4:34; 6:38). Dear one, you are not living in this world for your own sake; or to live as you like, according to your wish; or to live in any way, do anything and have connection with anyone. You should know that the reason for our living in this world is to fulfil His plan, His purpose (I Corinthians 10:31). Knowing this, when you try to walk according to His plan, desiring each day, “Lord what is Your plan, Your will? Show me what You have decided as to how I should live’, you will be blessed. So, it is not necessary for us to make a decision or choice. This would help us to be led by Him and walk according to His plan.

Self will ‘…having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will’ (Ephesians 1:5). A young man was always saying, “I’d become a servant of God walk in His ways and be a preacher who would serve others”. His mother too was proudly telling everyone that her son would be a preacher and do God’s service to others. After completing his schooling, he joined a Bible college. The parents were happy. But within a year of joining the college, he

went to the Head of the Bible College and said with bitterness, “Sir, I feel that this is not the plan that God has for me. Because of my parents’ urge, I have been telling that I wanted to become a God’s servant. Only after coming here I realize that I have come to this place purely out of my own plan. I am going to miserably fail here. The Lord has kept some other plan for me”. So saying, he left the college.

Dear one, many times, for the sake of prestige or to earn money or to win everyone’s appreciation, we choose our own way and take our own decisions in life. Quite often, this ends in failure. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths’’ (Proverbs 3:6). ‘Lord, lead me to take the decisions which You have decided for me as to how I should work in this world and what things I should do and how I should succeed through that” – Pray in similar fashion just as the Lord Jesus prayed. Today, as an authority over everything, He has conquered death and is seated on the throne. He will help you also to live in this world, likewise. Surely the Lord will show us His plans and decisions. We would walk in that. Those decisions would be good for us. We would abide in Him forever.

Blessing of God’s Will "And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.” (Acts 13:22). King David earned God’s testimony: ‘He is a man after My own Jesus Calls

heart. He will do all My will’. That was why full blessings were upon David’s life. In our lives too, as we take decisions and do each and every plan according to God’s plan and according to His heart, His heart is delighted. He ensures that good things come seeking us. When we trust Him and walk in His ways, according to His will, He makes us as gold (Job 23:10; I Peter 1:7). ‘…you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God’ Thus writes a man of God with great desire. Those who stand perfect and do His will, would abide. I once read about an incident in Queen Victoria’s life. It was once announced that the Queen would be visiting a particular place. Everyone gathered to see her, on the way. But the Queen

had entered a house, without any one’s knowledge. An old man was lying down in that house. He had no eye sight. She spoke to him fondly and gave him some amount. When she was about to leave, she asked him, “Where are the others in your family?” The old man replied, “All of them have gone to see the Queen”. She then said, ‘Sir, I am the Queen. Everybody has gone out to see me. They don’t know that I would come here. But I have come seeking you. This is my

wish; my decision and plan. But your family took a different plan to see me. But I have come to meet you, according to my decision”. How true is this!

The Bible says that when we walk by the Lord’s decision, we would be perfect. So, let us pray that we should know His decision and walk in it. Then His plan would be fulfilled in our life. Our life would also become perfect.

Protection given by God’s will ‘… we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us’ (Romans 8:37). When we go by the Lord’s decision, His grace protects us in such a way that no harm would touch us. Many times, the decision we take prove to be wrong. So we grieve. The harm caused by it, torments and troubles us. But when we walk by the Lord’s decision, it would destroy all the harms that come across our lives. His decision overpowers. We become more than conquerors. When we walk by His plans, He delivers us from all harms and we are protected in such a way that no harm would come on our way, as a stumbling block (Psalm 121:7). Several years back, a judge

had to give an important verdict. Cadres of a particular party were produced in the court for murdering some people who differed in their principles. If the verdict went wrong, particular sect of people would rise against him and there would be a big revolution in the country. In those days when the case was going on, a group of people tried hard to cause him many problems. But, every day, before going to the court, he used to pray with tears, “Lord, I have reached this state only according to Your plan. This case has come before me as per Your decision. Give me wisdom and guidance”. Accordingly he felt a divine peace filling him each day. Later he wrote, “I felt a divine strength filling me. I asked myself whether it was I, who gave the verdict or somebody else did it, because the Lord helped me to pass a flawless verdict with which nobody could find fault”.

Dear one, when you take decisions according to the Lord’s plan and abide by them, He would save you from distresses. Great strength to overcome those problems, would fill you. You will be victorious in everything. Your life would prosper in every aspect.

Prayer Our heavenly Father, taking decision in life is a tough job. Yet I, Your child, have taken decision to do Your will. I commit myself to take decision in my life to fulfil the plan for which You have kept me in this world and not for lust of the flesh or for worldly materials or for fame or for others’ appreciation. Take control of me. Let Your power fill me. Fill me with the presence of the Holy Spirit. O, God, give me Your guidance to take every decision according to Your will. Give me the grace to walk according to Your will and receive perfect blessing. Give me Your strength so that no problem that arises when I walk by Your decision, would overcome me. Grant prosperity in my life. Protect me and my family. Let days of goodness follow me and my family. Lord, I have come to Your feet with remorse that I failed to walk by Your decision thus far. Look unto me. Embrace me and kiss me. In the coming days, help me to Know Your will and walk according to Your plan. Restore all the blessings that I had lost in ten folds. I receive Your blessings with gratitude through Your Son Jesus Christ, O good Father.  Amen.

- A report (November 27-29, 2015)

he Jesus Calls Prayer Festival was organized after a long gap of 28 years in Hubli Dharwad District, Karnataka, with the support of all the churches there. These meetings were held in the Open Field, situated in Hubli – Gadag Road. Thousands of people from Uttara Karnataka which is in the northern part of Karnataka eagerly participated in these meetings. Dr. PAUL DHINAKARAN, shared God’s word and offered a special prayer for the Peace and Prosperity of Uttara Karnataka region. The people who attended these meetings received the Lord’s miracles and blessings. Shri. Prasad Abhaiya -Honorable member of Karnataka Legislative Assembly, and Mrs. Ashwini Majjgi - Mayor of Hubli Dharwad, participated in this prayer festival.

Sheriff, crippled for 35 years, walked in three seconds I have been tormented by witchcraft since when I was three years old. Now I am 38 years old. I could neither walk nor do anything. Hence I was contemplating death. My parents visited so many temples and magicians to cure me. But there was no use. I used to lie down in the same place. Someone had to lift me up and make me sit; four people were needed to carry me to other places. A year ago I accepted Jesus and have been going to the church regularly. The pastor said, ‘The living God is there. He will give you deliverance. You have a life to live. Jesus Calls Prayer Festival is to be conducted in Hubli. Jesus would come there. When Dr. Paul Dhinakaran prays, Jesus will touch you and heal you. You will be delivered no matter what bondages are there. So come to the meeting”. I was well,

until I decided to attend the meeting. After that, satan began to torment me. I became so weak that it was as if I could not come to the meeting. Yet since the pastor said that the Lord would do a miracle, four people brought me here by car. When Dr. Paul Dhinakaran was praying, I too was praying that God should touch me. At once I saw a fire coming upon me. I felt the power of the Holy Spirit filling me. Then my legs and hand began to transform. I received strength. After that I am able to get up and walk. Chandru, Sheriff’s brother: We carried him as four people and brought him here by car. We are so happy to see him walking now. Sheriff ’s mother: We took him everywhere. We gave money, gold, silver to anyone who claimed to heal him but nobody

could do it. I took him to the doctor but in vain. After coming here, the Lord has touched and healed my son and has made him walk and jump. We came to know the truth through him. Now the Lord Jesus has given life to my son. My joy knows no bounds to see him walking and jumping. Jesus healed him. Hallelujah! Dr. Paul: What a great miracle. I never placed my hands on him and prayed. The Lord Himself came and touched him and healed him. He is a wonderful God. - Sheriff, Hubli. GOT BACK THE EYE SIGHT My wife suffered a lot as her eye sight was affected because of a problem in the retina. When we went to the doctor he said that she had to be administered an injection costing Rs.28,000/- The doctor had said that after giving three injections, she had to take an

injection every month. Hearing about the Jesus Calls Prayer Festival we came here to this meeting and prayed. The next time when we went to the doctor he tested and said that there was no problem with her eye and that there was no need for injection since she had received clear eyesight. The Lord is great! He touched my wife’s eyes and had healed her. Now she is able to see clearly. - Michael, Hubli. CAN PASS URINE Since the past 6 months I have been suffering from Urinary Tract Infection. I came to this meeting with great difficulty.

Jesus Calls ● January 2016 ● www.jesuscalls.org 9

On the second day of the meeting when I was praying, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran said, “Pramod, the Lord is touching you. Let your urinary problem heal in the name of Jesus”. I went back home thinking that I would check myself and then share my testimony. When I went home I found that my urinary infection had been healed. The Lord has given me complete healing. Glory to Jesus. - Pramod, Belgaum. EIGHT YEARS OF PAIN GONE I suffered from severe pain in my hands and shoulder bones since the past 8 years. With the faith that the Lord would heal me I travelled for 8 hours and came to this meeting. After the prayer, I was completely healed of my 8 year pain. The Lord touched me. Now there is no pain in my hand. Till last year I had been suffering from bronchitis. Last December in a TV programme which I was watching, Dr.Paul mentioned my first name and said, “Sarojini, you are getting healed’. That very day I was completely healed from my sickness. Since then there is no trace of that disease. - Sarojini DIGESTIVE PROBLEM HEALED Our son Wilfred was suffering from headache and

vomiting because of indigestion problem. He used to suffer a lot whenever he vomited. He could not go to school or write his exams. We came to this meeting and were praying with tears for him. We came to the second day meeting. When my wife made my son lie down on her lap and was praying, the Holy Spirit said through Dr. Paul Dhinakaran, “I see a brother by name Wilfred. Wilfred, you are suffering from indigestion. You are undergoing terrible agony because of this. Jesus now heals you. You feel as if you have lost all your strength and are nearing death. Now the Holy Spirit comes upon you” When he thus narrated his exact problems, the Holy Spirit granted my son total deliverance. - Mrs & Mr Raju Antony Doss, Hubli DIVINE JOY I have come here by travelling for four hours. When I was writing down my prayer request I was thinking, “My name is Prakash; but contrary to my name, there is no brightness in my life. Today, divine light should shine on me”. Immediately Dr. Paul Dhinakaran said, “Prakash, you are telling that there is no brightness in your life. Prakash, the Holy Spirit comes upon you. God’s brightness comes upon you. Till now you have never criticized or blamed or found fault with others. The Lord builds your house. He honours you. Come to the stage and glorify God”. Then a divine strength, peace and joy filled me. Glory to the Lord. - Prakash

SEESHA News Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2) A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity (Proverbs 17:17). The monsoon rains which lashed over Chennai, Cuddalore and other parts of Tamil Nadu in November and December, 2015 caused severe flooding across the State; lakes, rivers and other such water bodies overflowed, causing severe damages. With no electricity, transports, food or drinking water, people struggled to even survive. Cuddalore was the worst affected district during the first spell of rains which hit in the month of November. More than 50 villages were devastated by floods. SEESHA, along with the local community people, actively participated in the rescue support operations, digging of canals and filling of potholes. Joining hands with the local administration, SEESHA provided one month groceries including rice for thousand affected families. Sharon Dhinakaran distributed essential things such as mats, blankets, hygiene supplies etc., to the victims. In the first week of December, during the second spell of rains, the entire city of Chennai came to a standstill with hundreds of families stranded with no access to food and water. The SEESHA Relief Team braved the waters to supply food packets, bread, biscuits and drinking water. With thousands of people being rendered homeless due to the severe flooding in lowlying areas in and around Chennai, SEESHA organized an Emergency Relief Camp in Vanagaram, Chennai. The camp, which was jointly organized by SEESHA with Jesus Calls and Karunya University, became a haven of refuge for over 1800 people whose homes have been adversely affected in the floods. Dr. Paul Dhinakaran distributed the relief materials to the affected people and comforted them. A large number of Karunya students, Jesus Calls staff and evangelists volunteered their services. Jesus Calls ď ľ January 2016 ď ľ www.jesuscalls.org

VIEWS OF A FEW WHO WERE BENEFITTED BY THE RELIEF WORKS We had no food. The SEESHA Organization came here and has given us good food. We were running here and there, with no place to even lie down. We were driven out when we tried to take shelter under Apartments. Here in this Relief Camp we have been given places to lie down. We are content to have nice food with sambar, rasam and papad here in the Relief Camp. Here, the doctors tested us and have given us medicines for fever, cold, and foot sores. Snakes and scorpions entered our house and so we could not stay there. Here they have given us shelter and are teaching us songs and games. We are very happy here.

RELIEF MATERIALS OFFERED IN THE CAMP Three times food, blanket, mat, clothes, comb, oil, towel, hair cut facility, Physiotherapy, Horlicks for pregnant women, songs and puppet shows for children to comfort them, cleaning materials and one month groceries for a family.

My loving New Year greetings to you

“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). Once, on a New Year, a dear family had invited me and my husband to inaugurate their Textile ship. After the inauguration, the owner took us to the Silk sari section. With great love, he handed over a sari to me and said, “Sister, you should wear this. Only when you wear this, my shop would be blessed”.

Don’t we feel happy when we receive such new things in the New Year? Don’t we pray to the Lord to grant us new things and new blessings in the New Year? I believe that the Lord will give you new blessings and new miracles even this New Year. The Lord would be very near you all through this year and keep on giving you new blessings. Specially, this New Year, He would give you the blessings which you have not received thus far, and satisfy you. The Bible says that only when we are in Christ, we can see new things; old things will pass away and everything will become new. We desire to receive new kinds of Jesus Calls

blessings and new things. The Lord is going to shower you with new blessings all through this year, according to your desire. Sister Rani from Kakinada in Andhra had sent her testimony thus: “My husband’s name is Raja. We were living in Gujarat for the past 9 years. When we had no child even after many years of married life, we underwent all possible treatments, but in vain. Four times we tried the IVF method (Test Tube baby). This was also of no use. The doctors advised for one more treatment (ICSI). But we did not agree to it as the expenditure was heavy. I faced reproaches as I had no child. Those who had to comfort me, insulted me. So I was heartbroken. In February 2012, when we had completed 9 years of married life, you had come to Gujarat to conduct a meeting. We took part in that meeting. On the second day, you prayed specially for those who did not have a child. My husband and I joined you in that prayer. Hearing the prayer, the Lord helped me to conceive even without any medical treatment. In November 2012, we were blessed with a boy baby. I give glory to God who miraculously granted us the gift of a child. Our heartfelt thanks to you for praying for us”

God, who blessed the couple Sister Rani and Bro. Raja by giving them what they wanted in response to their long time waiting would give you blessings for which you have been waiting for a long time.

The Spirit, who renews ‘…not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us,

through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit’ (Titus 3:5). We can never bring new blessings by ourselves. When the Holy Spirit renews us every day, new blessings reach us automatically. ‘…yet the inward man is being renewed day by day’ (II Corinthians 4:16). In order that we should not become weary and get destroyed, the Lord is renewing the inner man by His Holy Spirit. This is going to happen to you all through this year. “This New Year, the Lord should give me new revelations. He should share His secrets with me’ – Do you thus desire? I believe that the Lord, in His grace, will certainly do it, through His Holy Spirit. ‘"Behold, I make all things new." (Revelation 21:5). Accordingly, He is making everything new. In His grace and compassion and out of His great love for you, He will fill you with His Holy Spirit, this New Year. He will renew your inner man. A grandmother and grandfather were staying in a house since a long time. Since their house became dilapidated, they wanted to build a new house. So they began the construction. The grandfather removed the old doors and windows from their old house and fixed them on the new house. After a few days, the grandmother saw the wood in the old doors cracking and breaking. The paints began to peel off. She felt bad and wailed, “Oh, we have been longing to go to a new house. Now the doors and windows are breaking off…” Then they threw off all the old materials and fixed new things in the new house. Similarly, this New Year, the Jesus Calls

Lord will remove all your old nature, character etc., and renew you through His Holy Spirit.

Renewing Experience: "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also’ (John 14:2,3). Once I was watching the news in the Television. It was announced that the American Scientists (NASA) have found a new planet called Kepler 22b. They said that it would take nearly 600 light years to reach this new planet. It seems one light year covers a distance of nearly 10 trillion Kms (I trillion = I lakh crore). In that case, ‘600 light years’ would cover quite a far distance which cannot be calculated. Many people’s views were published in the website when this new planet was discovered. Many said, “Why should this planet be discovered by spending such a huge amount? If it is closer to us, we can go there to live. But why should something which is at such a long distance be discovered?. A few said, “It would have been better if this planet is near us. We could go to that planet. How nice it would have been!” I thought to myself, “All these people are excited over a new planet. But the Lord has said, “I am going to prepare a mansion for you”. When would it come?” The Lord not only makes our life new but also says, “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth” (Isaiah 65:17) and “the new heavens and the new earth shall remain before Me,” (Isaiah 66:22).

In order to come back and gather us with Him, He has made preparations for us in heaven. I believe that by now He would have prepared a mansion for every one of us. ‘Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband’ (Revelation 21:2). John the Apostle thus describes the earth’s beauty. My father, late Bro. D.G.S.Dhinakaran described the heaven thus: It is full of gold; floors are gold. Everything in heaven is of gold’. A bride is adorned with gold from top to bottom. The Bible says that this is how the new earth is.

The Lord will grant new blessings to us, who are waiting for such a house and bless us this New Year.

New Favour For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield (Psalm 5:12). This New Year the Lord will surround you with a shield called favour. He will constrain you and bless you with His kindness and love and show you His favour all through this New Year. ‘For how great is its goodness And how great its beauty!’ (Zechariah 9:17). With His favour, the Lord, who crowns the year with goodness, will shower His grace upon you throughout this year. For the love of Christ compels us…’ (II Corinthians 5:14). As the Apostle Paul has thus said when Christ’s love compels us, God, who gives new good things, would keep on doing miracles for us.

“…as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue…” (II Peter 1:3). The Bible says that the Lord has called us by glory and virtue, gives us His power every day and grants us new blessings. Likewise, may the Lord cover you with His glory and favour, all through this year! The Bible says that this glory or favour gives us everything that we need for our godliness. As we first saw, by His power and by the power of His Holy Spirit, the Lord guards us from falling into the old temptations so that we would not do the old sins. His favour does it. His glory, grace and love keep us away from sin. The Bible says that the Lord has laid up His great goodness, for those who fear Him and for those who trust in Him (Psalm 31:19). His favour would keep giving you new blessings.

Protection in the New Year "If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, When men rose up against us, Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their wrath was kindled against us’ (Psalm 124:2,3). The Lord will keep us away from all evil, throughout this year. He will guard our family. His presence would be full wherever you go. The Lord is going to walk with you closely. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling… God shall Jesus Calls

help her, just at the break of dawn (Psalm 46:2-5). Every morning help from God will come to us. The Lord’s grace is new every morning. The Bible says that ‘through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed’ (Lamentations 3:22,23). Like David you too shall say, ‘Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight’ (Psalm 19:14). Accordingly, we shall arise early in the morning every day of this year and tell, “Let whatever I do and speak be acceptable to the Lord, today’. Then the Lord will send His help to us early in the morning. He will help you this New Year. Until now people and devil might have been hindering you. Situations might have hindered you. But the Lord would be close to you and keep giving you help. You shall receive new, new blessings.

Be renewed in giving 'For to everyone who has, more will be given… but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away’ (Matthew 25:29). Once, a little boy went with his father for fishing in a river. He put down the fishing rod into the river. After an hour, when his father pulled out the rod, they found a big fish. The boy told the father that he knew that they would catch a large fish. The father asked him how. He said, “I was praying to get a big fish. That’s why we’ve got a big fish”. They cooked that fish and had their meal. After this, again the father took the boy for fishing. The little one put down the fishing rod into the waters. After an hour, again they got a big fish.

The little boy said again that he knew that he would catch a big fish. When the father asked him, he again replied that he had prayed for that. This time too, they cooked the fish and ate it. The father said, “Come, let us go fishing. This time I will put down the fishing rod”. So saying he did so and they did not get any fish even after an hour. The little boy said, ‘Daddy, I know that we wouldn’t catch a fish”. The father asked, “How do you know that?” He said, “Daddy, when I put down the fishing rod, I hung a small fish in the hook. But in haste, you had forgotten to keep the small fish. How would the big fish be caught without a prey?”

Many times we adamantly ask the Lord, ‘Lord, bless me this New Year?” But we never think whether we are doing something for Him. A master once gave five talents, two talents and one talent to his servants and went off to a country. He, who got five talents, gained

five more talents. He, who got two talents, gained two more. But he, who got the one talent, said, ‘I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.'. It was not out of fear but out of laziness, he hid the talents (Matthew 25:14-30). This New Year, confess to the Lord, ‘As for me and my house, we will serve You; we will arise and shine for You". Use the talent that the Lord has given for you, this New Year. When you commit yourself to Him saying, “I will do whatever is possible for me” He will hear your prayer. He will grant you, your heart’s desire.

Dear partner, I am extremely happy to convey my loving New Year Greetings to you. With my whole heart I pray to the Lord to make this year 2016 a blessed one for you and your family. I believe that the Lord will surely satisfy you with His new goodness, sustain you with His new grace and adorn your life with new blessings. According to Ezekiel 36:9-11, the Lord will be with you in this New Year, protect you and lead you. He would give you all the hindered blessings in full measure,

change your reproach and grant you splendor and honour. Apart from giving you worldly benefits such as health, finance, job, profession, house, education etc., may He also fill you with new anointing and excellent spiritual experiences in order that you would draw closer to Him!

The Lord, our Refuge Even while praying that the Lord should comfort and console the dear brothers and sisters who are passing through this terrible time Jesus Calls

of loss of lives and materials, fears and frights caused by damaging rains and floods in India and by natural calamities such as earthquakes, landslides, hurricanes, famines, etc., and by terrorism all over the world and in the neighbouring nations and restore everything to them in double fold and bless them, the Lord gave me a burden to render all possible helps to these people. The Bible says,

“If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and

one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? (James 2:15,16). Accordingly, through Seesha, flood relief materials were distributed to the victims of flood in Cuddalore District and in Chennai and suburban. Also Seesha organized a Flood Relief Camp for the people in the surrounding areas of Vanagaram and provided food and shelter for nearly 2,000 affected people until their residences were restored. SEESHA distributed relief materials including rice, dry ration, mats, blankets, hygiene supplies, toiletries and other essential items required to support these families for an entire month. SEESHA also provided three times food, shelter, medical care as well as trauma counselling and other psychosocial support. ‘…the wicked one shall no more pass through you (Nahum 1:15); ‘You shall see disaster no more (Zephaniah 3;15). I plead to the Lord that according to these verses, He should keep us away from the sight of satan so that he would not do us any harm all through this year. The Lord Himself shall be our refuge in this year; He will protect us under His wings (Psalm 46:11; 91:4).

Glorious Deeds in the Ministry In 2015, the Lord did awesome and glorious works through the Jesus Calls ministry. We have published an elaborate report about this in this issue in order that you would praise the Lord whole heartedly. The Lord helped us to conduct these many Prayer Festivals, Television programmes, and Partners’ Meet, and enabled us to pray and

offer counsels for more than 20 lakhs of people who contacted us for prayer in person and 30 lakhs through telephone in various languages. He graciously helped us to open 19 new Prayer Towers in many areas for the blessing of the people of those respective areas. Let us praise the Lord for these ministries. It is you, our precious partner, who have provided the financial needs towards these services (II Thessalonians 1:3). It was your sacrificial offering that you sent amidst your own needs that helped us to carry out such ministries and take the Lord’s words and power to lakhs of people. Remembering your generosity, the Lord will bless you richly.

◆ FULFILLED: The small military force Russia has deployed to its new base in Syria has scored political and diplomatic gains. For its first combat mission in the Middle East since the breakup of the Soviet Union, the Russian defense ministry said it had sent about 50 aircraft and about 2,000 marines to the base. Russia has cautioned civilian aircraft to avoid this area, even at high altitudes. It is a warning, needless to say, to the United States Air Force as well. The seventh Summit of BRICS which has Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa as its members was held in the city of Ufa in Russia. It is concluded that the New Development Bank will break the monopoly of the western loan sharks such as the World Bank and IMF which have been lending money to the countries of the world and that BRICS which was expected to function only with the aim of economic development has started functioning in such a way as to turn the world’s centre of attraction towards them and away from west. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the coming together of the BRICS, Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) can provide a “powerful economic breakthrough” Prophecy concerning Africa. “My wisdom shall come upon the women in Africa and they shall govern the nations of Africa in the days to come. They will put down the powers of suppression and evil. They will fight for their children and they will establish laws to bring governance and education among the women in Africa at all levels. ‘The evil fire shall be quenched by them. When women shall rise to key positions, the natural resources shall flourish in every such country; gospel will spread across the nations of Africa. ◆ FULFILLED: On June 5, 2015, Ameenah Gurib-Fakim has been appointed as the Sixth and the first woman President of Mauritius in Africa. A biodiversity scientist, Gurib-Fakim has written more than 28 scientific books. She who holds an honorary professor position at Pretoria’s University of South Africa (UNISA), has achieved many firsts in a male--dominated environment including the honour of being the first female professor at the University of Mauritius and first female dean of the faculty of science. GuribFakim leads the call for more investment in science and research by African governments.

Ghana’s Chairperson of the Electoral Commission: In June 2015, Charlotte Osei has been appointed as the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission in the African country Ghana. Charlotte holds a Masters in Law from Canada and a Masters in Business Leadership from the University of South Africa, Pretoria. Prophecy concerning CHINA The winds of change shall come to China. The Lord says: I will establish My wisdom and knowledge in the hearts of people and they will turn towards Me.

◆ FULFILLED: As never before, thousands of Christians are gathering in the prayer conducted 24 hours in the Northern China region. Christianity is spreading fast in China, which is officially an atheist country. In 1940 when the Communists came to power the number of Christians in China was 40 lakhs. Now it has escalated to nearly 10 crores. If this state persists, within twenty years, China would become a country with the highest number of Christians . Ha Bining and her husband Feng Kai are running this 24 hours prayer Centre. “This Centre is a place of peace making for the people. This shall be used as a common place for churches to repent and get reconciled. This shall be a place where the people can make peace with God’ – Thus says Bining. Hundreds of people from all over the people have visited this Prayer Centre. Every day people from some country or the other are visiting this Centre. Prophecy concerning UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Greater the damage, greater the trouble, greater shall be My grace. My power will come upon the east coast of the United States of America. ◆ FULFILLED: The East Coast of America was thrashed by torrential rains which were not seen for 200 Years. This ‘once-in-200-years rainfall event’ left 22 million Americans on flood and roads were closed down and crops were waterlogged. North and South Carolina alone recorded 12 cms rain on the night of October 3 2015. President Obama declared state of emergency in South Carolina over floods. The emergency officials informed that several people had left their homes in many regions including Myrtle Beach. The Lord filled Dr. Paul Dhinakaran, His servant with His power, gave him prophetic words and has graciously helped him to foretell about the powers in the world, business changes, progresses, ministerial operations and spiritual blessings. He is fulfilling them. Let us thank the Lord for that. ◆ Jesus Calls ● January 2016 ● www.jesuscalls.org 24

“The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing” (Psalm 34:10). “As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God” (Psalm 42:1). According to these Scripture verses, the Lord provides full blessings to all those who genuinely seek Him with thirst. Let us see what good things the Lord would give us, this New Year:

Seek and live: “Seek Me and live’…. (Amos 5:4).

The Lord makes those who seek Him to live; He grants them blessings exceedingly abundantly above all that they ask or think. The Lord is going to give you such kinds of blessings in this year 2016. Perhaps, in the year 2015, you might have lived with many worries such as, ‘Oh, I didn’t get the promotion which I wanted; Oh, there’s no blessing in my children’s lives; there is no happiness in my family

Jesus Calls ● January 2016 ● www.jesuscalls.org 35

life’ and so on. But, you who enter into this New Year should remember one thing. The Lord tells you, “I will ensure that those who seek Me would live well; you shall live”. ‘To live’ means ‘ to receive blessings’. The Lord will never change His Word. He is the fountain of all blessings! We see about a godly man in the Bible. His name is David. He was a young man, who was in an ordinary state of shepherding the sheep. But he had the thirst and desire to seek the Lord. Even when he was tending his flock, he used to sing divine songs and play musical instrument. That’s why the presence of the Lord was with David. When he was tending the sheep, once a lion and then a bear came; yet the Lord who was in him strengthened him during that time. The godly zeal in him gave him a great courage and he charged against them and tore the mouth of the lion and the bear. Yes, dear ones, the Lord will give the same blessing to you, who seek the Lord with thirst and desire. Do not be afraid of anything. The Lord will always be with you. Not only that, so many problems cropped up in the life of David, who sought the Lord. Yet the Lord had compassion on him and finally lifted him up as a King. He, who was tending the flock, was changed into a King who would lead the people. This is how the Lord is able to lift you, who are in an ordinary level, even this New Year. ‘…the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.” (Psalm 70:5) “He raises the poor out of the dust, And lifts the needy out of the ash heap, That He may seat him with princes; With the princes of His people’ (Psalm 113:7,8) Today, you may be in a small job. You may be in agony, unable to get your promotion. But when you

seek God faithfully and justly, with righteousness, and reverence, you shall be exalted. “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him…. (II Chronicles 16:9). When you thus seek Him, you would not only live but also the Lord will give you full blessings which cannot be given by the people of the world.

David, a young man, who was born and brought up in a poor family, got a big elevation. He became a King. How happy he would have been! His whole family was happy. Yes, the families of those who seek the Lord will thrive.

Nothing shall harm you: ‘If God is for us, who can be against us?’ (Romans 8:31) When you seek the Lord, you will live and also the Lord will be pleased with you. He will be with you. This world is wicked! It is full of wicked people! The Bible says that the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked (I John 5:19). Also, devil, the adversary walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (I Peter 5:8). My husband joined as an ordinary clerk in the bank. But he tried to come up in his career by writing many exams. But one of his colleagues used to be annoyed with him and tell him, “Why do you prepare

Jesus Calls ● January 2016 ● www.jesuscalls.org 36

hard for your exams? Do you want to go higher than me?’ But since my husband sought only the Lord diligently, he succeeded in his exams and reached the high position given by God. The preacher says, ‘I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor’ (Ecclesiastes 4:4) When we build a nice house, jealousy hits us! If we are lifted up in life, it earns others’ annoyance. But what happens when we seek the Lord genuinely? His protecting hands come upon us. According to Luke 10:19, nothing shall by any means hurt you. The raging waves of sea may come against you. But the Lord says, ‘’This far you may come, but no farther’. That’s all! The devil and his people cannot hurt you by any means. No weapon formed against you shall prosper’ (Isaiah 54:17) Today, wherever we see, people say that witchcraft, sorcery, black magic and works of the devil are being done against them by their own family. But, dear ones, the Bible strongly says that no harm will befall those who seek the Lord. This is because, He says, ‘lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20). All you have to do is only one thing! Seek the Lord faithfully, every day. What will happen when you do so? Weapons such as witchcraft, black magic etc. cannot harm you. ‘…For the LORD will go before you, And the God of Israel will be your rear guard…. (Isaiah 52:12) He will make the crooked places straight (Isaiah 45:2). In this wicked and jealous world, the Lord will go before you and be your rear guard and protect you so that nothing will touch you. His protecting love that claims you to be His daughter would proceed from Him.

You, who have come seeking Him right from the beginning of this year, would be protected by Him all through this year. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13). Today, without any discrimination, we pray for the people all over the world, who shed tears and languish in sorrow. Establishing Prayer Towers all over the world, we pray with sacrificial mind for everyone, without differentiation. This is what we do. But yet, we face jealousy even for this. Envious people rise against us saying, “Why do they set up Prayer Towers and pray?” But do you know what we did? As said in the Bible, “I will lift up my eyes to the hills; from whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth’ (Psalm 121:1,2), we sought only the Lord as our help and then He scattered away such enemies. He has granted us rest everywhere. Dearly beloved, the Lord will be a wall of fire around you. ‘For I,’ says the LORD, ‘will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.’” ( Zechariah 2:5). Today, the Jesus Calls ministry is increasing and multiplying, by the grace of God. Different kinds of people contact all the Prayer Towers. Countless families – rich or poor – come running to the Prayer Towers as the Prayer Warriors show much love to those who languish in difficulties and tears. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God’ (Philippians 4:6). Then the Lord, who is with you, will protect you wonderfully in such a way that nothing shall harm you.

No lack of any good thing: Today, as far as family life is concerned, there is no peace. But the Lord tells, “My children, I am going to fill you with My divine peace”. All are His children. There is no partiality with Him. “ …if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” (John 11:40). Once, when I had been to a place to do ministry, a beautiful girl who was in 10th standard and her mother came to meet me. The girl was all smiles. When I asked the mother to let me know her prayer request, she cried and said, “She is a terrible child. She fights all the time. She has no satisfaction over anything. She would be abusing and scolding me all the time. She looks like a good girl. But she is not so. Would you please pray for her transformation?” I am also a human just like her. Yet I looked up to the Lord and said, “Lord, nobody but You can help her in this world. This mother has come seeking You and not me. I have nothing. I am also a woman like her. But have mercy on her, who has come seeking You. Change this child’s life upside down”. I then counseled that girl after which her face beamed. ‘…the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy’ (I Timothy 6:17). God gives richly all things. Whatever He does is perfect. Yes, man’s heart is wicked. “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked” (Jeremiah 17:9). But what does the Lord do? He says, ‘Let Me give My child richly. Let them enjoy abundantly. Let Me change all their lacks”. Today, various kinds of diseases are seen in the world. How many are living in tears because of this? But the Lord says,

‘Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth’ (Jeremiah 33:6). The health and blessings that He gives are perfect! When we hold on to the Lord alone, He perfects everything for us in an excellent manner. When you have to do any project or any other thing, it would be a great blessing if you do it with prayer, getting the help of the Lord. When I began my family life, plenty were my needs. We had no sufficient money. We went through the path of poverty. We had no child! However, finally the Lord richly blessed us with two beautiful children. Yet there came a time, when I had to lose my 17 year old daughter. I thought that my life was over. But today the Lord has made all the children who come to me, to call me, “Mother”. All the children who study in the Karunya University are my children. When they call me, “Mother”, my heart melts. My only daughter called me “Mother”. Today she is not here. But so many youngsters call me ‘Mother’. Many children used to write to me during exam time. “Mother, please pray for me”. When I write to them addressing them as ‘Son/Daughter’, they are thrilled. Life does not end with one loss. The Lord will richly fill us with good things. The Lord, who thus granted us rich blessings, loves you, who are in poverty, and would fill you with good things. “This year no good thing would be lacked by me. Lord, I believe it. I seek only You” – If you thus commit your life to Him, there would be prosperity. He will grant you good things. If you seek Him truly in your life, in the place where you work, in your home and wherever you go, He will add all these good things in your life, this year. He is the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. May He satisfy you with all good things, this year!◆

- Yesupatham “You would be going to church tomorrow. Wouldn’t you?” – This question from Sharma jolted Selwyn who was about to go to bed with the contentment that he could sleep till 10 O Clock, the next day. He fumbled for an answer to Sharma’s query. Ever since he entered his 10th Standard, he had not gone near the church. He was confused by Sharma’s question.

Him, he was irked by Sharma’s queries. He did not want to disappoint Sharma who had high respects for him for his clean habits and neat works.

There was never a Sunday when his mother did not cry. To avoid that trouble, he used to leave for Tennis practice at 5 O’ Clock on Sunday mornings. He was able to convince his father by showing him the medals or prizes that he had won in Tennis. But his mother never stopped her lamentations and admonitions. Also she never stopped praying for him. It is ten years since he had forgotten about church.

“The message was good and useful….”

“At what time would you leave? I too want to come with you” Even as he was floundering to answer the first question, the second question prompted him to blabber, ‘May be 8 or 8.30…” Sharma muttered something and went to bed. Sleep eluded a disturbed Selwyn. Though he was ashamed that the Lord’s church seemed to be bitter to him, who was a Christian, but was desirous to a boy who never knew

He brought Sharma to the church at 8.30. Since that church was new to him, he concentrated more on noting the building, decorations and the people. As they stepped out after the service, a few came to talk to Sharma. But nobody knew Selwyn.

He just nodded his head but was afraid that he would ask him some other question. When they returned home, after having lunch, Sharma said, “Let us pray together, from today” Selwyn felt as if a bomb was thrown at him. He was scared how he could do something about which he did not know anything. It was after this he came to know that Sharma was a secret Christian and he was praying for his parents to come to know of the Lord. Soon, Sharma understood that Selwyn was far away from Jesus. He began to teach him everything - the Bible, songs and how to pray – and thus sowed a seed of faith in Selwyn’s heart. Days passed. After 6 months, Selwyn sent word to his family that he would be going to Kolkata to

Sharma’s place to celebrate Christmas and that he would be returning to Chennai the day before New Year. Since he informed them that Sharma would be accompanying him, his parents were upset that he was disappointing them on New Year, without going to church. They reached home only at around 9 O’ Clock since the flight was delayed. They would get a seat in the church only if they went there at 10 O’ Clock. So his parents were ready. They were surprised when both Selwyn and Sharma hurriedly got ready to go to church. Handing over the diamond ear ring which he had bought for his mother, he warmly hugged her

and kissed her saying, “New Year gift for you, Mommy” . Turning to his father he gave him a wrist watch. Both his parents were shocked to the core. They were completely taken aback when he sang songs and took part in the Holy Communion. ‘ How is my New Year gift?” He asked his mother about the diamond ear ring. He patted his mother fondly as she said with tears streaming down, “Your coming to church is my New Year gift…” So saying she leaned on his shoulder.

‘…you put on the new man which was created according to God’ (Ephesians 4:24).

Promise and message:

- Sister Stella Dhinakaran

he greatest blessing that the Lord gives us is such promises of blessings from Him and enjoy making us all good things in our family and daily life. My dear sisters, the Lord freely gives this blessing to us, who are in the beginning of this New Year, with no partiality. You too may kneel down in His presence and pray with humility saying, “Lord, millions of praises to You, for this incomparable gift. I surrender myself to You to receive these; give me the grace to walk pleasing to You and glorify You”. The Lord’s promise would get fulfilled in you, at once. What the Lord says, stays. He is unchanging in His Word.

“My child should prosper; should be in good health; should thrive” – This is the Lord’s wish concerning each one of you. Yes, think awhile as to how the Lord Jesus Christ thinks of you. When the Lord gives you His divine blessings, all your lacks shall flee from you. Your burdens will vanish. Have faith and belief and receive this divine blessing. Please begin the New Year with this divine hope. Our Lord is rich. So He wants you to be filled with the riches of all good things (I Timothy 6:17). What are the things that we ought to do to receive the riches of good things and the Lord’s benefits and blessings? SEEK THE LORD; YOU SHALL LIVE In your family life, first seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Today, there is no morning prayer in most of the families. Hence, every day of their family life begins with fights and they lack peace. My dear sisters, to change this situation, please get up early in the morning every day, kneel before the Lord and plead to Him individually and as a family to fill you with the blessings of that day. Hasn’t our Lord shown us such prayer life as a model to us?

and want to sleep a little more, you would give room to the devil. Trials, distresses and helpless situations would crop up. As you fail to obey the truth, you would be filled with sorrow. Why should you undergo all these? Look at the life of the Lord. When the time came for Him to surrender Himself on the cross, He prayed to the Father saying, “”O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me…’ (Matthew 26:39). That time He said to His disciples, ‘Stay here and watch with Me.”. But all of them, including the three special disciples, fell asleep and did not pray.

Hence

they

faced

temptation. Jesus Christ, filled with divine strength, committed Himself on the cross. But what happened in His disciples’ lives? Peter denied Him thrice saying, “ I do not know Him”. Also he

accepted the Lord as his Saviour, when he was 20 years old. After that he began to read the Bible diligently and meditate on it. Young children of these days, how do you live in your 20 years? Do you have this godly zeal in you? Think for a while. When he thus read the

SPIRITUAL LIFE FILLED WITH DIVINE IMAGE Yet another important thing is the life of being filled with God’s spirit and receiving the image of Christ and living gloriously for Him. Perhaps this may not appear big to you in a worldly sense. Today if people are told, “Receive the anointing of God’, they despise it. They are not at all burdened about this. But when they are tossed by the devil, they shed tears. They languish, ‘Who’s there to help me to come out of this distress?” Why should we undergo such sufferings? The moment you realize the excellence of the anointing of the Holy Spirit and seek for it with reverence, the Lord will surely give you the grace to receive His divine blessings in your life. My Brother

dear

husband

Dhinakaran

Bible diligently, the Lord showed him the glory of the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Since then he began to wait earnestly at the feet of God to receive this anointing. One day, when he was 27 years old, during the night family prayer, God appeared to him. He elaborated to him about the ministerial matters that had been kept for him. That was the day when the Jesus Calls ministry was started. We all

Jesus Calls ● January 2016 ● www.jesuscalls.org 42

know how the Lord mightily used him in the ministry, after that. Yes, do you want such kind of good thing in your life? To whom would the Lord give these great good things? Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men! (Psalm 31:19).

Yes, my dear sisters, fear of God is a very important thing. Next is our hope on God. By this, men of God like Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Daniel, and the like, had the privilege of drawing closer to the Lord and received great benefits from Him. Hence, be diligent to seek the Lord in your heart with all reverence, in your daily life and do your things. Do not give any room for the devil and his wishes. When you thus walk in the ways pleasing to the Lord,

the devil will flee from you. The Lord will be pleased with you. Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left (Isaiah 30:21). Yes, the Lord will guide you with His eye and instruct you and teach you. May the Lord prosper this year, and grant you, who seek Him faithfully, His grace, mercy, holiness richly, and bless you!

LIMITLESS PRESENCE OF GOD I am the leader of the Esther Prayer Group in our area. We began to pray with great thirst and desire that the anointing of the Holy Spirit should be poured in our midst. Hearing the prayer, the Lord poured down His presence mightily more than we expected and asked for. All of us enjoyed the immeasurable presence of God. During the prayer time, Sister Inba was thrilled to see a bright light and she glorified the Lord. Glory be to God. - Vidi Kingsley, Chennai. NEW ANOINTING FOR EVERYONE In the beginning of the prayer time of this month’s Esther Prayer Group, Sister Annal had a vision in which she saw our place filled with pearls. The Lord blessed each and every sister with a new anointing. I was living in agony because of my husband who is a drug addict and who used to abuse me. During the Esther Prayer Group, when we read the 9 th Prayer Point and

prayed, the Lord convicted me that I should show more love to my husband. After the prayer, my heart was filled with divine peace. Glory to God. - R.Pushpalatha, Kalasapakkam. EXPANSION OF THE PRAYER GROUP With faith we had been praying for the expansion of the Esther Prayer Group and we also took certain steps for that. The Lord opened ways for that one by one. It is a wonder when sisters invite us with love and seek our help to form Esther Prayer Groups. Thus, the Lord helped us to start 5 new Prayer Groups. Every group has illiterate sisters. When we taught them how to pray, they listened to it with keen interest and are now praying with great desire and joy. They say, “The moment we see the Prayer Points sent for the Esther Prayer Group, we are able to pray with desire, burden and tears and in one mindedness’

Sister Aruna was perturbed that there was no experienced person to conduct the Youth Esther Prayer Group in her Home. But the Lord has helped her to start a group there. The Lord has encouraged that group by pouring down the power of the Holy Spirit mightily so that they are able to say that their group is of great benefit to them. Glory to God. - S.Glory Rajayogam, Sivakasi. MIGHTY MIRACLES I am the leader of the Esther Prayer Group in our area. Sister Jennifer’s grand-daughter was suffering from kidney problem. They took her for medical tests and gave her an injection for Rs.1,50,000/-. We prayed with great burden in our Esther Prayer Group for her healing. The Lord heard the prayer and has touched and healed her perfectly. Sister Parimala’s daughter was in agony as she had no child even after 8 years of married life. We prayed for her earnestly in the

Jesus Calls ● January 2016 ● www.jesuscalls.org 44

Esther Prayer Group. When she went to Bethesda and prayed, she had a vision about her daughter’s delivery. Hearing the prayer, the Lord has blessed them with a beautiful child, according to that vision. Sister Vimala’s relative was suffering a lot because of a tumour in his brain. We prayed for him earnestly in the Esther Prayer Group. The Lord heard the prayer and graciously made that tumour to vanish. Glory to the Lord, who did the miracles! - R. Mercy Shanthi, Karunya Nagar. TRANSFORMS AND MAKES US TO PRAY FOR OTHERS Since the past 2 years, I have been attending the Esther Prayer Group conducted by Sister Viola Thanraj. The Lord helped us to attend the Esther Prayer Group conference held in Trichy. There, a testimony shared by a sister worked in me and transformed me. She testified about the changes in her spiritual life and the benefits she received because of that, ever since she joined the Esther Prayer Group. On hearing this testimony, I decided to get transformed like her. Dear mother Stella Dhinakaran gave God’s message, quoting the verse, ‘whom He predestined, these He also called” (Romans

8:30). So I thought that it was the Lord, who had brought me to the Esther Prayer Group. Also, when dear mother said, “You should kneel down and pray for others and for your family”, I decided to pray early in the morning for others and for my family. I am following this now. Hearing the prayer, the Lord changed my captivity. Yes, He has poured upon me His anointing in an immeasurable way. I attended the Esther Prayer Group conducted on 7.10.15. I was asked to read the prayer points and pray. When I prayed for the health of women, whom I do not even know, the power of God came upon me. He changed the captivity of my life and girded me with joy. I praise the Lord for the counsels He gave me through dear mother Stella Dhinakaran in order that I should grow in my spiritual life. - R.Punithavalli, Trichy. JUSTICE Sister Jeya asked me to start an Esther Prayer Group. I told her that I too had the same desire but did not know how to start a group and that I was facing a court case and was going around to places for this purpose. She advised me to start an Esther Prayer Group and that then the Lord would give me victory in my court case. After this, I attended the Esther Prayer Group conducted by Sister Leela. Knowing my desire, the Lord

graciously helped me to start the Esther Prayer Group on the second Saturday of May. 11 sisters attended the very first Esther Prayer Group. All of us jointly prayed with much cheer. The prayer time was of great blessing. Hearing the prayers offered in the Esther Prayer Group, the Lord helped me to get a favourable verdict in my court case which was going on for three years. Glory to the Lord. - M. Vijaya, Chennai. God’s Miracles in the Youth Esther Prayer Group NEW EXPERIENCE My mother, Sister Girija was conducting the Youth Esther Prayer Group. Since she fell sick this month, my grand-mother Gandhi Jeeva advised me, ‘You are a grown up girl. You should conduct the Esther Prayer Group’ and guided me as to how to conduct it. I too followed her advice. We prayed as 6 sisters. I encouraged the sisters to pray cheerfully for every prayer point. Empathizing with the prayer points they prayed with burden. This experience was new to me. I desire to conduct the Youth Esther Prayer Group continually. Glory to the Lord for the grace He gave me. I thank dear grand-mother Stella Dhinakaran for starting this Esther Prayer Group ministry. - K.Princy, Chennai.

My Dear sisters, Accordingly, if the Spirit of the Lord prompts you to start an Esther Prayer Group or Youth Esther Prayer Group in your area or in your home or hostel or in any place convenient to you, so that the people there could be blessed, and revived, please come forward. This is the end time. You too may either start a group or attend the Esther Prayer Group in your area and be blessed. Contact Address: Sis.

(Part -II)

(Last month continuation) LOVE FOR THE POOR “But I am poor and needy; Yet the LORD thinks upon me. You are my help and my deliverer; Do not delay, O my God.” (Psalm 40:17). David thus says, enjoying the Lord’s love in his life. “I passed through lot of sufferings, underwent pain and sorrow and was humiliated. But, the Lord, whom I trust, is always with me. He will be my help and exalt me in everything’ – With this faith he has written this. Dearly beloved, accordingly let us also enjoy the Lord’s touch and presence and receive blessings. Also, not closing our eyes and not blocking our heart to the poor and the needy and those in sorrow and distresses, it is good to show love

to the poor just as the Lord did and receive His grace. This is priceless in the sight of God. “He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD, And He will pay back what he has given “ (Proverbs 19:17). The more we show pity to the poor, the more the Lord will be merciful to us. Do not despise those who are in difficulty and are sorrowful in your family. When we see their need, let us encourage them by doing whatever we can. Above all show mercy to them by finding their lacks and removing them. Pray with tears for them. These are the things that please God. Once, a servant of God who was a woman, was very much

despised and persecuted by her relatives. Yet the more she was persecuted, the more she began to pray at the feet of God. As she kept on pleading to the Lord, He began to work in the hearts of the relatives. God made them come to her one by one and ask her about things related to Him. Finally the whole family became the Lord’s possession. If your family which is poor because of you, receives the Lord’s abundant blessings, you would be a blessed woman. When this blessing comes into you, how great would be the joy given by the Lord! Also according to Philippians 2:5, let the mind of Christ Jesus be always in you. Receive the life of being filled with the love of God given by the Holy Spirit in order to

Jesus Calls ● January 2016 ● www.jesuscalls.org 46

reveal Christ’s love to everyone. The Holy Spirit teaches you what things should be done at what time and how to exhibit love. He will guide you wonderfully. Finally the people of your household and your dear ones will say, “Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.” (Luke 1:45). GIRDING WITH THE STRENGTH OF GOD: “She girds herself with strength, And strengthens her arms” (Proverbs 3117). From where does this strength come? The firm faith and hope you have on the Lord, gives you this divine strength from the Lord. Don’t we sing, “Enna vanthalum nambuvane? (Whatever comes I will trust You). Such kind of strength would be given to us only by God. When Paul had physical weakness, thrice he asked for healing from the Lord. But He said, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” (II Corinthians 12:9). My dear sisters, we read in the Bible that ‘Women are weaker vessels’ (I Peter 3:7). But let us read the Bible and strengthen us in the Lord through those verses. Also let us get filled with divine strength by waiting in the presence

of the Lord. Above all, when we are filled with the matchless strength of the Holy Spirit, the Lord will use us as a witness to make our whole family a witness. When we read about Mary, the sister of Martha, in the Bible, we see how wonderfully the Lord testifies about her: “Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:42). Accordingly, would you choose that good part? Surely the Lord will exalt you too. He will tell you many things as counsels. By His guidance, you too can receive divine strength in your body and soul. For a few years, as if to test me, the Lord gave me plenty of continuous ministerial works in our family life. I had to work hard relentlessly. There was no rest. One day, I prayed to the Lord saying, “Lord, I very much want to wait in Your presence for several hours and pray. But what can I do under this hard situation? I don’t have time to have a close interaction with You”. Do you know what the Lord said to me? He said, “Daughter, look up to me while you cook or do some other works and keep talking to me. Then I will fill you with My presence. I will exalt you

with all the blessings. At the same time I would also pour down my blessing on whatever work you would be doing”. He taught me this secret. Yes, dear sisters, how wonderful it is to commune with the Lord! He will remove all the burdens and worries in our heart. He will exalt and embolden you. He will fill you with His blessings. About this we read in Psalm 128:1, ‘Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord’ LIFE OF OPENING THE MOUTH WITH WISOM: ‘She opens her mouth with wisdom’ (Proverbs 31:26). “Wisdom’is one of the blessings given by the Lord (Proverbs 2:6). He stores up sound wisdom for the upright (Proverbs 2:7). My dear sisters, perhaps you lack in wisdom. Your intelligence may be dull. ‘Oh, I don’t know how to do these; how will I run my family? How will I please my husband and the elders in the family? Is it possible for me?” – Don’t despair thus. You can do nothing on your own effort. This is a fact. But when the Lord who is the wisdom and knowledge is in you (Colossians 2:3), you would be a different woman. You would be amazed to see the way in which the Lord would use you. When I entered into family life, I did not know how to cook and how to run the family. In that situation, I used to kneel down and

Jesus Calls ● January 2016 ● www.jesuscalls.org 47

pray at the feet of God before doing anything. I would offer a short prayer and tell the Lord, “I am an ignorant woman. I don’t have wisdom. You should be my wisdom. Thank You”. After committing myself to the Lord in this manner, I found the Lord’s wisdom, righteousness, and guidance coming into me. He granted excellent blessings in all things. Similarly, even in the ministry, I was a novice and was useless. When the Lord called me, I confessed my shortcomings to Him. But the Lord filled my mouth with His wisdom and is leading me wonderfully, till today. The Lord

filled me with His grace in such a way that those who knew my previous ignorant and timid life, exclaimed with wonder, ‘Oh, how you have changed!”, when they saw me after several years. The same God will do this for you too. Hold on to Him firmly in your ignorant state. Commit yourself to Him in prayer. Read the Bible verse , receive His promises and walk by that. Then the treasures of the Lord’s wisdom and knowledge would be richly given in your life too. My dear sisters, read all these and commit yourself holding on to

the Lord firmly and praying, “Lord, according to the verse, ‘But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away’ (I Corinthians 13:10), change my lacks and fill me with Yourself. I commit myself for the lacks in my family to be removed and for the Lord’s prosperity to be received, for the glory of Your name”. Then you would see the Lord’s benefits, good things and prosperity forming in your family life. The Lord will make all those who see you to be wonderstruck. He will help you to be a priceless pearl and a virtuous woman. ◆

Gift of a child after 18 years We got married in the year 1995. We were living in tears as we had no child even after 18 years of married life. We visited all the places of worships and hospitals. Finally when we went for a check-up in a hospital they said, “Your wife’s uterus is shrunk. Rs.2 lakh would be needed to rectify it”. We came back home with great agony and sorrow. All the relatives who met us used to give us different counsels and by following that and by taking medicines, our bodies were spoiled. After this, in June, 2013, we wrote a letter to Sister Stella Dhinakaran seeking prayers for the gift of a child. On reading my letter, Sister had immediately sent me a reply. That very day of receiving the letter, my wife conceived. Millions of praises to the Lord. After three months, when we again went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor who tested my wife was amazed and said, “How come it is possible to have this child, after all these years” I testified to her that I had written a letter to Sister Stella Dhinakaran and that she had prayed for me. The Lord showed us His mercy and grace and blessed us with a girl baby. Now our daughter is 1 ½ years old and is hale and healthy. We have named her Esther Rani. I thank dear mother, who prayed for us. Glory to Jesus. - Johnson family, Trichy. Blessings upon the family When the Jesus Calls Prayer Festival was conducted in January 2002, my children and I had

gone there with much agony, knowing very well that if we attended those meetings, the tribulations, tears and burdens in my family would be removed. That day, during the prayer time, late Bro. D.G.S.Dhinakaran said, “Write down all the things for which you need prayers and drop it in the prayer request box”. My son wrote down the prayer requests, asked me to check it and then put it in the box. Immediately Brother said, “Janarthanan, the Lord says that He would bless you and make your name great”. In those days, I did not know the Bible. I did not know where this verse is in the Bible. I jotted down what he spoke, in a piece of paper. After this, getting the details of the Jesus Calls Hour of Hope TV programme, I began to watch it. I became the Jesus Calls Partner and joined my children as the Young Partners. I, who was languishing not knowing how to come out of my several lakhs of debt, realized that day when I attended the Jesus Calls Prayer Festival, that Jesus alone is the way for me. Miraculously my debts were removed. Now one of my children is in Muscat and earns several lakhs. My daughter is working in Sydney, Australia. My thanks to God, who has given all these blessings from above and to Brother Dhinakaran and family. May the name of the Lord be glorified.
