in charge of you “For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;” Psalm 91:11
I
thank God for this new month. God is going to lead us into a new beginning, a new mercy this month. So let us look forward for a new blessing. The Lord has blessed us over the past months, gave us life and has enabled us to see a new month. The Lord told me that He is going to send His angels to guide you all along the way. This is the experience which God is going to give you this month.
Dr. Paul Dhinakaran “Very truly I tell you, you will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God paul@jesuscalls.org
ascending and descending on’ the Son of Man.”
John 1:51
Yes, you will see the presence of angels guarding you, leading you and protecting you throughout this month. www.jesuscalls.org - November 2020

Safeguarding your salvation Heaven will be open to you and your eyes will behold the throne of Jesus Christ. The reigning power of God will be visible to you and you will be connected to His throne through His angels. You will see angels ascending and descending. Jacob had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth and its top reaching the heavens and the angels were ascending and descending on it (Genesis 28:12). My father has seen this in a vision. He saw Jesus Christ on the throne and millions of angels coming and standing before Him. When he looked at them, Jesus saw every prayer request brought by the angels from the earth and He gave an answer to every angel and the angels rushed back to the earth to bring the answers to the people. There is an angel for everyone.
“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.” - Matthew 18:10
There are angels who see the face of the Lord. The Lord says, ‘you are my little children. So I have put an angel for you to ascend into the throne of God to bring your prayer request to me and when they look at my face you will receive grace.’ God considers us as little children, so the angels He has placed in charge of us look at His face bringing us His grace. The Bible says, “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? (Hebrews 1:14)” We have to attain salvation and ultimately reach heaven. This is our sole purpose in life. Angels are given as ministering spirits to help us in our weaknesses and to reveal the will of God to us in order to lead us in the way of Heaven. In the
garden of Gethsemane, Lord Jesus was tormented; fear of death gripped Him and His sweat came out as blood. He was suffering all alone and He prayed, “Father, take this cup from me.” There was no answer. However, an angel came and comforted Him. The angel strengthened Him to pursue God’s will. The way of the Lord is perfect and so we should surrender to His will completely. There is no place for sin in that path. There is no tolerance for sin. To protect our souls at all times, the Lord has given an angel for each one of us. The Lord has kept us as gatekeepers to open the doors of heaven for the people to enter. Therefore, the angels will help us remain sinless and walk in the way of the Lord safeguarding our salvation.
Reviving your faith In the year 1985, my father’s kidneys were totally damaged. He was undergoing dialysis. In spite of that, he was also ministering to the people through the television ministry and public meetings. As soon as the meeting would get over, he would collapse and we had to carry him from the ground. Because of fluid accumulation in the kidneys, he would have continuous vomiting. In the end, he had to undergo kidney transplant. That night, there was black fluid coming out from the kidney. The doctors had left from the hospital. All of a sudden, darkness surrounded my father; he underwent terrible fear and loneliness. At that time, the devil appeared in the corner of his bed; his look was not terrifying but looked extremely beautiful. He said “Your life is over; your kidney is going to die right now.” At that very moment, an angel appeared and said, “I am Michael. I am the angel of the Almighty God. You have been gifted a kidney by the Lord. You will not die. You will live on.” As the angel strengthened my father’s faith, his kidney functioned perfectly for the next twenty three years, until his final entry into glory.
Angels are given as ministering spirits to help us in our weaknesses and to reveal the will of God to us in order to lead us in the way of Heaven. 4

Daniel was blameless before the king and God, hence an angel was sent to protect him from the mouth of the lions. Angel Michael and Satan did not fight, but many times we pray for God to send us His angel to chase the devil; this will never happen. The devil tries to break our faith while angels come with God’s word to revive our faith. Ultimately, our victory comes due to our faith. Faith conquers the world. Thus the angel of God comes and strengthens our faith with the word from God. Beloved, because of the worldly struggles, we are given an angel who looks at the face of God and brings word from God to revive us. Let us be bold and confident. We will not fall. An angel of God came to Cornelius and said, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God. Therefore, the Lord has sent me to tell this word to you. Send word to Peter to come to your house” (Acts 10:3-6). Look how the angel gave Peter’s complete details and location. Though there were so many ministers of God, Peter was chosen by God. Similarly, you are special and God has chosen you. Peter came to the house of Cornelius and as he was speaking, the Holy Spirit of God was poured onto the household of Cornelius and everybody was saved. Thank God that you are chosen by God and He knows your name. The Lord will reward you openly for everything that you do for Him in secret.
Providing protection An angel is given to us to protect and guard us. There was a heavy storm and the ship in which Paul went was struck by the storm. Paul had warned the captain not to leave from the island; however the captain did not listen. Finally, the ship was caught in a big storm it was such that the people in the
ship would die. Paul said that previous night the angel of the Lord of lords appeared to him and said “Because you have to testify about God in Rome, the Lord will protect you and all those who are with you; not one will perish (Acts 27: 6-24).” Yes, the angel of God will guard us and protect us. When Daniel was thrown into the den of the lions and the king asked him, “Did the God whom you serve save you? Are you alive?” a reply came from Daniel, “Long live the king! The Lord whom I serve sent an angel and protected me” (Daniel 6:20-22). Daniel also said that because he was blameless before the king and God, an angel was sent to protect him from the mouth of the lions. In the year 1984, we as a family visited Israel. During the trip, we also visited the place where Elisha turned bitter water into potable water. There was a small rivulet that we had to cross over. When my grandpa was crossing over, he tripped and was about to fall; but just before he hit the ground, he stood up straight. It was like what happens in videos, where in reverse shot a person falling down will stand up straight. He said an angel appeared and prevented him from falling. The angel said that he was the second child my mother lost as a baby before I was born; and that God had kept him as a guardian angel to protect us at all times. It was my grandpa who walked miles together and inherited the land for the university. Look how God strengthened him and helped him to perform mighty things for the Lord at the age of seventy five.
“See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.” - Exodus 23:20

I am a Jesus Calls Ambassador. In 2019, I faced many health issues due to some weakness in my uterus. When I got it checked in the hospital, I was diagnosed with cancer. I faced lot of troubles because of this. They operated that tumour and sent it to another hospital for diagnosis. Many people said the disease might have spread to other organs in my body. I was very much scared and worried of what the report would say. So,I called Trichy Prayer Tower and got prayed. The prayer intercessors prayed earnestly for me. God heard that prayer and answered it by giving me a result that the cancer has not spread elsewhere. Now I am doing well by God’s grace. I thank God, who did this miracle and also thank the prayer intercessor, who prayed for me. - G. Keerthiga
Testimony from Kolkata Prayer Tower HEALED FROM COVID-19 I am a Family Blessing Plan partner and associated with Jesus Calls for more than two decades. I am working as a nurse.

My daughter, brother-in-law and myself were also partially infected and remained in quarantine period at home. I was totally broken as I was the only person to manage the whole situation. Continuous prayer was done with tears and with much burden by prayer intercessors and they also encouraged me with God’s promises.They called me to get regular update of my situation, which was a great support for me.Only the prayers of prayer intercessors saved my husband and mother-in-law. Both of them returned after 14 days. It was a miracle just as it is written in Luke 18:27 “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” Doctors and my colleagues at the nursing home were amazed to see their recovery. Truly,it’s an unbelievable miracle. I have decided to extend my support to the ministry and to pray for others. My heartfelt thanks to the Jesus Calls ministry. - Rita Arohon, Kolkata.

T
he Young Partners Plan is one of the excellent God-given initiatives to pray for young people as Jabez prayed. Jabez cried out to God, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." The Lord granted his request (1 Chron 4:10). God hears the prayers offered for each Young Partner and makes them enjoy His choicest blessings for sowing in the ministry. This plan was instituted on the 25th July, 1985 with the sole purpose of praying for young people all over the world to cover them with prayers (24 x 7) for wisdom, protection and prosperity. The Lord has promised that the Young Partners in this plan will receive • Divine protection from the evils of this world (John 17:15), • Divine wisdom to shine in their studies (Isaiah 54:13) and • Divine prosperity to enable them to flourish in their life (Psalm 115:14).
For the past 35 years, the Dhinakaran family and the prayer intercessors at the Prayer Towers pray every day for our precious Young Partners. Thanks be to God, who hears these prayers and blesses the Young Partners in their studies, career, profession and family. We receive countless testimonies on how God has been faithful in the lives of the Young Partners.

Here is a testimony of one such partner who excelled in her studies
I
was a mediocre student but after enrolling as a Young Partner I have always excelled in my studies. I make sure I contact Jesus Calls Prayer Tower for prayers before exams. By the grace of our Lord Jesus, I was the topper in my department and received a Gold Medal from Tezpur University in 2018. Moreover, I was tormented by an evil spirit while sleeping, for the past 10 years. All those years I was gripped by fear and despair. But I started to pray watching Prayer Festival videos of Jesus Calls ministries and also sent a mail to Dr.Paul Dhinakaran for prayers; now the Lord has delivered me completely. I have witnessed miracles due to the prayers of Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and the prayer intercessors. I earnestly thank Jesus Calls ministry for their prayer and support. Glory be to Jesus. - Monika Indowar, Assam Isn't this a beautiful testimony? You too can benefit like “Monika Indowar“ by becoming a Young Partner.

My partner in the ministry, Greetings in the loving name of our Lord Jesus! I greet you with much joy and thank God for enabling us to step into November - the month of Thanksgiving and Sanctification. God has given us yet another opportunity to praise Him for all His mercies and rededicate ourselves to Him. Last month, through television programmes, specially the Family Channel, letters, e-mail, magazine, SMS, Zoom meetings, telephone prayer calls, DIAL A PRAYER, and social media platforms 66,49,308 people have been reached and millions continue to be brought into God’s fold every hour and day. I thank God for you beloved partners, who are a part of Jesus Calls ministry and helping save the perishing souls. The Lord is marvellous indeed! You are most welcome to share your testimonies and feedback to 9500155588. Joshua 3:5 holds this month’s promise, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” He not only promises blessings but also shows us the way to make them ours. In the promise word, God speaks about sanctifying and ensuring God’s blessings to abound in our lives. Therefore, along with thanking God for the blessings He has showered, let us ask Him to sanctify and make our ways pleasing to Him.

HEALED FROM COVID-19 I am 70 years old. I was affected by Corona virus and admitted in the hospital. This came as a shock to me. I heard that people above 60 years are at high risk if they get infected with Corona. I was afraid of the situation, but I believed that God can save me. While I was in the hospital, I made a vow to the Lord that if God cures me from Corona, I would sponsor a Jesus Calls TV programme. To my utter surprise the fever subsided and all the symptoms disappeared. I became normal very soon. The doctors checked me and found that I was cured. I was soon sent home. I thank the Lord who healed me from this deadly pandemic so graciously and for enabling me to receive a new life. I fulfilled my vow by sponsoring a Jesus Calls TV programme and glorified God for His wonders to me. - Gandhimathy, Chennai
DELIVERED FROM SEVERE PAIN I am working as an officer in a Bank at Visakhapatnam. Since June 2020, due to long working hours, there was lot of strain on my neck, which resulted in cervical spondylosis. By the end of every working day, the severe pain in my neck and shoulders was unbearable. I had been taking medicines everyday but it did not make me any better. On 27th August, I came across in the Jesus Calls Facebook page and Instagram that the Day of Deliverance would be observed on 29th August and special prayers will be offered 20
JESUS CALLS November 2020 - www.jesuscalls.org
for women on that day. I was very much excited that I was counting days and waited anxiously to participate in the live prayer to get deliverance from my suffering. Unfortunately, I couldn't participate in the ‘live prayer’ as I was in office till late night. Still, I kept my faith in the Lord knowing that prayers would have been offered by Dr. Paul Dhinakaran for my request. On 30th August, I opened Jesus Calls Facebook page and watched live video uploaded there on 29th August. So, with much belief I prayed along. The very next day, my neck and shoulder pain were completely gone. I went to office, worked till 7pm as usual but there was no pain at all. What a miracle it is! I offer all the glory to God. My special and heartfelt thanks to Dr. Paul Dhinakaran. - Divya, Visakhapatnam
INSTANTANEOUS CURE For the past four months I had been suffering with severe pain in both legs and stomach. The pain radiated from the neck all the way through the spinal cord and down to my legs. I was unable to sit or stand for even few minutes and I couldn’t sleep flat. The pain was excruciating so I went to a doctor and he said that a disc is displaced and gave me some medicines. I took the medicines. The stomach pain was cured but the body pain did not reduce. I kept praying in my heart for deliverance and on August 27th I got a mail from Jesus Calls inviting me to send my prayer request as a special prayer was to be held on 29th August specially for women. On August 28th, 2020, I sent a prayer request about my prayer needs to Brother Paul Dhinakaran to pray for my healing. On 29th August I too fasted and prayed and in the morning itself I felt that a miracle had happened in me as I was able to move both my legs freely without any pain. The swelling I had in my back was also gone. I completed my fasting prayer that day without any pain in my body and from that day till now I have no pain at all. Now I am able to sleep flat as well as on both sides. I can sit, stand and do all my work for a long time without any pain. I thank Brother Paul Dhinakaran and the prayer intercessors who prayed for me as it is only by the Lord’s touch that I am healed. Praise be to God. - M. Faithy Jeremiah
BLESSING OF OWN HOUSE We wanted to own a house for a long time. It was our desire and we waited for a long time for this blessing. In this situation, we heard Dr. Paul Dhinakaran say that if we build God’s house, God will build our house. We were touched by those words. Putting our faith on God we decided to give our offering to God. We gave an amount towards the Bangalore Prayer Tower building fund. God is truly great. Miraculously, He made all the arrangements and provided us with the money we needed to buy our own house. So as a thank-offering, we decided to sponsor a Jesus Calls TV programme on my daughter Aarthi’s birthday. Thanks be to God who fulfils His Word to bless us when we give to Him. - R.Dhayal, Chennai

The Jesus Calls Israel Prayer Tower, established for a very special mission stands right at the heart of Jerusalem City Centre, situated in the top floor of the tallest building in downtown Jerusalem. This Prayer Tower stands as a living example of the miracles that God can do even when situations around us seem so bleak and broken. On the 4th of November 2013, the Israel Prayer Tower was inaugurated with a vision from God to Dr. Paul Dhinakaran to establish this place (according to Isa 56:7, “My house shall be house of prayer for all nations”) solely for the prophetic to be released to the Nations. Here, prayer intercessors are trained and commissioned to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, governments of the World, global revival, and to prepare the people for the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today, as we stand and look back, our hearts are filled with joy and happiness. It gives immense excitement to celebrate seven years of God’s faithfulness. This month is such a joyous occasion to announce seven fruitful years of Jesus Calls International Ministries from Israel to the Nations. This shows the power of God’s promises and the steadfast faithfulness of His Word. 22

Prophetic prayer goes up to God 24 hours every day at this Prayer Tower. Prayer intercessors from all over the world come and intercede in this manner. As these prayer intercessors return to their country after their tenure in Jerusalem, we see that they have been used by God as prophets to reveal His plan and purposes for their own countries. The miracle working dunamis power of God is revealed through them for their nations. - Mr. Keith Soares Prayer Tower Coordinator

A heavenly encounter
n the beginning of December 2019, during the Special Blessing Meet, I heard Dr. Paul speaking about obedience and listening to the voice of God to prepare for the upcoming year. Since then I have been yearning in my heart for the Lord to reveal Himself to me and I had been on a long fast to see the Lord and open doors for a new job. On 2nd January 2020, early in the morning which was a day before the Sabbath, as I was praying in the designated 24-hour praying room at the Israel Prayer Tower at around 1 am till about 5 am, I was shaken by a mighty presence that I have never encountered before. Everything seemed so bright around me and I was aware of another person in the prayer chamber. I have always heard of people experiencing God's mighty presence but I thank the Lord for giving me an opportunity to experience Him in my life. A week later, God blessed me with an amazing client to continue my work in Israel, Jerusalem. I thank Dr. Paul Dhinakaran for leading and encouraging me through God's word to have a deeper and meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ. All Glory to Jesus. - Francisco D'Costa, Israel

Blessedness
of trusting
God
- Sis. Stella Dhinakaran Every day, we are seeing horrible things happening in this world. About this the Bible tells clearly,
“But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.” James 3:14-16 These days, wicked things such as envy, infuriation, bitterness, self-seeking, pride, and lies are seen among Christians. What is the reason? The reason is that those who call themselves as Christians do not firmly trust Christ or have a close fellowship with Him. Today, many people do not have the life of holding on firmly to Jesus Christ. The Bible says, ‘Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him’ (Psalm 2:12). ‘Trusting Him’ means ‘holding on to Him’ or ‘clinging on to Him.’ While crossing the road, with little children, what do we tell them? We ask them to hold onto our hand firmly. It is referred to the monitor lizard which when it holds onto something would not let go off it easily. In the same way, whoever holds on to Jesus Christ will not be forsaken by Him. Goodness and mercy will follow them. Such a kind of life is true Christian life. Today, many people, do not know the excellence of this. Their lives do not have any good testimony or good works. Let us meditate on what blessings we would receive, when we trust Him firmly.
United with the Lord In the Bible, both Enoch and Noah walked with God. They were united with Him (Genesis 5:24; 6:9). They were always thinking of Him. My dear ones! Today, examine yourselves by asking, “Do I live a life closer to the Lord? Do I have the experience of always talking (prayer life) to Him? Am I careful in knowing God’s will and fulfilling it? Or am I far away from God?” 24
jesus calls November 2020 - www.jesuscalls.org
The Bible says, ‘a little leaven leavens the whole lump’ (I Corinthians 5:6). Everybody would appear outside to be good. But their hearts would be filled with unwanted lusts. This would stain their lives. So, when you hold on only to the Lord and make Him your friend, He will never let you down. Moses was in the presence of the Lord for 40 days and nights. Today, do we live such kind of godly life? Like Abraham, the believer, his wife Sarah too believed God and had a child (Hebrews 11:11). We read several things written about Mary, the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Bible. One of them is, ‘blessed are you among women’ (Luke 1:28). My dear sisters, think about your life and ask yourselves, “Do I bear this testimony? Am I a person, blessed by the Lord among women?” When the Lord miraculously delivered and healed Mary Magdalene, who was suffering from the clutches of seven demons, she drew near Him, trusted Him and served Him. What happened because of that? She was the first one to see the resurrected Lord Jesus. Even His disciples, who were with Him, did not have this privilege. In the same way, when we too, hold on to the Lord firmly, we can also receive such divine blessings and become blessed women.
Alive in the Lord In the Bible, we read about a sinful woman. She was away from the Lord and lived in sin because of the lust of the flesh. Since she had all unwanted and wicked thoughts in her mind, she had no peace in many ways. Only then, she understood the love of the Lord Jesus. That time, hearing that Jesus had come to the house of a man called Simon, she brought the costly oil of spikenard and went to his place. There, she knelt down before Him, drenched His feet with her tears and wiped it with her hair and held on to Him with love saying, ‘Lord, sanctify me; I hold on to Your sacred feet.” We are living in days where there is no love. There is no desire to live closer with the Lord. God wants us to love one another. God is love (I John 4:8,16). It is this love that we receive in the presence of God, when we go to church.
For whoever holds on to Jesus Christ, goodness and mercy will follow them.
My dear sisters, this sinful woman, ran to the Lord’s feet seeking His love. She washed His feet with her tears, wiped it with her hair and loved Him dearly by anointing His feet with the costly oil of spikenard. Then Jesus said to her, ‘"Your faith has saved you. Go in peace." (Luke 7:50). Immediately, His love filled her heart with much joy. Divine peace that surpasses all understanding filled her. This is a peace which the world cannot give (Philippians 4:7). The peace given by this world would last temporarily. But the peace given by the Lord is eternal. She received this divine peace. This is the permanent divine blessing that we will receive by trusting Him. Today, do you live without peace? Is there problem in the family? Or is everything a failure in your life? Are you pained that there is none to show you love? Do not worry. The Lord says, “I am a loving Father, who comforts and consoles you.” This world has no love. But the Lord is full of love. Hence, commit yourself fully, at His feet today. He will surely deliver you from all sins, curses and sicknesses. You shall receive the blessed life of being dead indeed to sin, but being alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:11).
A righteous life This is a divine experience which we will receive when we www.jesuscalls.org - November 2020

accept the Lord as our Saviour and get filled with His love! Dear ones, do you love Jesus and trust Him and have received His salvation? Have you been delivered from sin and living a holy life? Examine your life! If not, tell Him, “Lord, I too want to walk with You as Enoch and Noah.” Then He will give you the same grace. The Lord Jesus poured out His love on the cross. We are saved by His love. We have the belief that we would go to heaven even if we die today. This is the divine righteous life of being dead to this world and flesh and being alive in Jesus. Several years back, a particular mother in a small town was sick and she sent word to a gifted servant of God to come and pray for her. When this servant of God went there and began to pray for her, the devil appeared before him and said, “I’ve prepared a huge pit for this lady. She is a sinner. The moment she dies, I’m going to throw her into that pit. If you dare to pray for her, I’ll do the same to you as well.” A slight fear gripped this man of God. Yet he looked up to the cross of Jesus Christ. That time he received a word of the Lord from the cross. It was, ‘But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin’ (I John 1:7). At once, that servant of God started praying fervently saying, “Let the blood 26
of Jesus Christ wash away all the sins of this lady and cleanse her. Sanctify her Lord and change her into a new creation. Grant her complete healing right now, Lord.” That’s all! Hearing those powerful words the wicked devil ran away from her. The Lord healed that woman completely, in His mercy. When this servant of God went to church the following Sunday, he heard someone singing beautifully. It was the voice of that woman. She had been suffering from throat cancer because of which she could not sing since several days. But that day, she was happily singing praises to God and glorifying Him by sharing her testimony. Yes, when we trust Christ, He would grant such great blessings in our lives.
Close to the Lord In the Bible, we see about two sisters called Martha and Mary (Luke 10:38-42). They had a brother named Lazarus. The Lord loved them dearly. It was
jesus calls November 2020 - www.jesuscalls.org
The peace given by this world would last temporarily. But the peace given by the Lord is eternal.
Martha’s desire that she should always cook well and make Jesus happy. She never thought that she should get anything from the Lord. On the other hand, when the Lord came to their house, Mary sat at His feet and chose the good portion of listening to His words, with reverence (Luke 10:42). She clung on to His feet always. Like Mary, you, as women should read His word every day in reverence and wait at His feet with godly zeal and thus choose the good portion. Martha was always worrying about her problems. She did not have the privilege of drawing nearer to Jesus. But the Lord says, ‘'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know' (Jeremiah 33:3). Hence, right now take a decision to wait at the Lord’s presence like Mary did. The Bible says, ‘One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination’ (Proverbs 28:9). Jesus Christ said, "I and My Father are one" (John 10:30). We read in the Bible that Jesus sought the presence of God, early in the morning (Mark 1:35). He prayed in the evening (Matthew 14:23). He prayed all night (Luke 6:12). He prayed with vehement cries and tears before going to the cross (Hebrews 5:7). He watched and prayed lest He entered into temptation (Matthew 26:41). Think of
your prayer life! When we too pray thus, the Lord will grant us great blessings. He will grant us deliverance from all things. A p ar t ic u l ar unmar r ie d woman never had the habit of trusting God. She had a terrible skin problem! Her whole body used to itch badly and in due course puss oozed out of her skin. This would wet her clothes which would then stick on to her skin. She had to peel her clothes off, which resulted in bleeding. Just imagine how it would have been for that young girl! She was afraid to tell this to her mother for the fear that she would be taken to the doctor. At this juncture, one day, she happened to see my programme on the TV and that time she was touched by the verse which I had quoted in the course of my message. It was, ‘'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). Immediately, she recorded this verse in her heart. She again and again read this verse and kept on praying. What happened in the morning? When she woke up, there was no blood or puss oozing from her skin. She had been healed perfectly. Yes, dear

In 2005, my father fell ill. He was diagnosed with
brain tumour and became bedridden. We were appalled as he was the sole breadwinner of our family. I had just completed my 10th class. We were going through the valley of tears. That is when, my mother and I came to the D.G.S. Memorial Prayer Tower, Chennai. The prayer intercessors prayed for us and my mother sent a request to Uncle D.G.S. Dhinakaran for prayer. In a few days, we received a letter from Uncle Dhinakaran saying that my father would surely survive. We were very happy to read the letter and prayed claiming it. The schools reopened; all my friends went to school but I was alone at home because we had no money to pay the fees. The same month when we received the reply, my father shared his experience, a vision in which he saw a white figure coming close to him and touching him. After that, my father stood up and walked normally. He was totally healed. We were filled with inexpressible joy! Later, my father went back to work. I thought my studies would end with tenth standard, but God has made me study up to MBA. After completing MBA, I took care of my family and got a wonderful job. I would rush to the Prayer Tower to do my voluntary service on Saturday evenings and the whole of Sunday. I started helping with small jobs like informing / reminding visitors about the events through phone. I am doing this from 2011 until now. Because of this, my life has changed completely. The house we were living in was a thatched house and would leak heavily during rains. In 2015, just

before the floods struck, as we were watching the Jesus Calls TV program, Sis. Evangeline Paul said, "God will give a house to the homeless." We prayed along with her. The next day, we got a good spacious house and we immediately vacated the house and moved to our new house.God increased my salary too. Sometime after, when I went back to look at my old house, my eyes were filled with tears because the house where we had lived in was completely submerged in water with only the top portion of the house visible. If we had delayed even a day, we would have lost all our possessions and belongings. My marriage was also financially challenging as we didn't have even a single rupee to spend for the marriage. I used to attend every meeting of Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and his family at the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower premises. At the end of every meeting, I used to line up for prayers. Dr. Paul Dhinakaran does not know me, but whenever he laid his hand on my head, he would pray, "Father, bless this daughter and give her a golden future." Exactly as he prayed, my marriage took place in June 2019 in a very grand manner and more than 2000 people attended my wedding. I conceived the very next month and gave birth to a girl baby
on February 29, 2020. We have named her as Liana Cataline. The comforting factor for us during our difficulties was the D.G.S. Dhinakaran Prayer Tower. As I do voluntary service at the Prayer Tower, God has blessed our family in great measure. I am grateful to the Dhinakarans for being a great blessing to us. I thank God for doing indescribable wonders for us. - Renu Angeline, Chennai.

t is not possible to receive happiness on our own effort. The Bible also says, ‘the sorrow of the world produces death’ (II Corinthians 7:10). These days we hear many people committing suicide because of debt problem, sickness and various needs in life. However, today, we are going to meditate on how we can receive this divine joy given by Jesus Christ, even in the midst of several sufferings and crisis in life.
Look to the Lord “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." John 16:33 We read in the Bible that when a particular mother delivered her son, she named him Jabez saying, “Because I bore him in pain" (I Chronicles 4:9). But, how did God’s blessings come into his life? He knew the God of Israel and spoke to Him (I Chronicles 4:10). He pleaded to the Lord to change his sorrows and bless him. He knew pretty well, ‘There is one God. He alone is the Fountain of all blessings. He answers those who look up to Him and pleads to Him.’ When he thus prayed to the Lord, God’s divine hands sustained him. He protected his life in such a way that evil would not pain him, transformed his life upside down and filled him with abundant blessings. My dear sisters, family people! Likewise, do not consider your sorrow as something big, but every day, look up to the Lord, who is able to deliver you and change your life into a blessed one. Pour out your sorrows to Him. He is full of love. 30

“But I am poor and needy; Yet the Lord thinks upon me. You are my help and my deliverer.” Psalm 40:17 Also, in order that our sorrow would be changed, Jesus bore all our sorrows on the cross. About this we read in the Bible, ‘A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief ’ and ‘Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows’ (Isaiah 53:3,4). Hence, when Jabez looked up to God Jehovah, He changed all his sorrows and filled him with joy. In the same way, you should also learn to look up to Jesus and talk to Him. Then your sorrows shall be turned into joy and you will be filled with peace. Your life will become anew. Several years back, a servant of God, who was doing ministry the whole day by walking quite a long distance, became weary. He spotted a particular place where a godly woman was residing. Assuming that she would surely give him some food, he went there; but he was shocked to see a sorrowful scene over there. That day her husband had passed away and so the house had become a house of sorrow. However, even at that state, this woman invited the servant of God to join her in praying to the Lord to raise up her husband to life.
She made him kneel down beside her husband’s dead body! The man of God too prayed along with her in all reverence and prayed with oneness of mind. What a wonder! According to that woman’s faith and hope, the Lord brought him back to life and he was a resurrected person. That’s all! All the sorrows in that house vanished and it was filled with the God-given joy. The woman prepared a feast and enjoyed honouring this man of God, who glorified God along with that family, amazed by the wonderful leading of God.
disease of Tuberculosis tried to kill him. Yet the Lord wonderfully delivered him from that. After that, his both kidneys failed and since the Lord’s hand was with him, he received a new life miraculously. Thus, one by one, he faced trials in his body; yet, the Lord did several miracles through him, honoured him and gave him life to live until he was 73. Also, the Lord has been with us, his family, changed our sorrows, manifested His power and has filled our lives with the peace that the world cannot give.
Lean on the Lord
My dear sisters, even today, are you troubled with sorrow because of various reasons? All you have to do is only one thing,
Your faith will be tested. The man called Job was filled with fear of God (Job 1:1). Yet, he was tempted by the devil in many ways. Even in that state, he had a firm faith that he would not depart from God even if he faced death and said, ‘Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him’ (Job 13:15). Yes, the Lord was with him. He delivered him from a dreadful disease and we read in the Bible that he lived long with rich blessings and died ‘old and full of days’ (Job 42:17). "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation.” Matthew 26:41; Mark 14:38; Luke 22:46
“…the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations.” II Peter 2:9 My loving husband, Bro.Dhinakaran, served the Lord with faith, since when he was young. Yet, he physically suffered a lot and was tested. Firstly, the dreadful
'I saw Him'
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Philippians 4:6,7 Jesus.” Also, if you are always filled with divine joy given by the anointing of the Holy Spirit so graciously, the joy inexpressible and full of glory, will revive you in Christ even in the midst of sorrow and affliction. You will receive the glorious life of rejoicing in the Lord always.

n Matthew chapter 5, Jesus talks about beatitudes. He talks about attributes He wants to see in God's children. It is based on the Ten Commandments. Let us ask God to bless us with those attributes which we are going to meditate. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. (Matthew 5:4) Talking about mourning, what all do people mourn for? They mourn for their favorite IPL team losing or their favorite actor’s movie being a flop, and other different reasons like: With addiction, people start to lose peace, lose in studies and become very broken - hearted thinking if they can come out of the addiction. Mourning thinking if they will ever find true love. Not able to find a job and nobody valuing them. With no finances, unable to achieve in life. You might be one of these people my friends; you might be suffering and mourning. Then what should you do? Should you keep it to yourself? Keeping your sorrows to yourself only destroys you. Should you share it with someone? Yes. Share it with Jesus. Jesus says, “Come unto me, all ye that are heavy laden…” (Matthew 11:28) 32

If you are weary, it is you that Jesus is calling! You are blessed!! Jesus asks those who mourn to come rushing to Him!!! Therefore, Jesus asks you to bring your mourning to Him. There is a beautiful verse in II Corinthians 7:10 which says, “Godly sorrow brings repentance.” Yes, it leads to repentance and not regret. You will not regret when Jesus comforts you. Worldly sorrow brings death in your spirits; when you keep it in your spirit, it only builds up a feeling of death. However, when you give your worries to Jesus, He gives comfort and happiness in return. I knew a boy who was addicted to all sorts of drugs and drinking during his college life. Because of that, everyone hated him as his character had changed. Even his parents said he was useless. He was broken by everyone around him saying hurtful things to him. Broken in heart, he went to the top of a building in a drunken state and thought to just throw away his life. As he was about to jump, he heard a voice saying “stop it.” It just touched his heart and he heard
the sound of people praying in a floor below. He ran to the meeting and he cried saying “Lord will you love me?” He didn't know God before; but as they were talking about Jesus, he gave his life to God and his life turned around. God placed him in a great company and he is talking about the love of Jesus to others. Then, the same people, who disowned him, came back to him. Blessed are you who mourn, because Jesus will comfort you with His love. All you have to do is bring your sorrows to Jesus and give it to Him. Here is a prayer to help you turn your mourning into dancing.
Dear Lord Father, I come to You and pour out my heart to You. Right now, may the miraculous power of God come upon me. Because You are compassionate, transform my life. Lord make new belief rise up within me and open new doors. Comfort me Lord. In the name of Jesus’ I pray, Amen.

have two daughters. Be it my daughters’ education, their higher studies or their marriage it has all been miraculously blessed because of the prayers offered in the Jesus Calls Prayer Towers. There were days when Satan tormented all the four of us in the family but we used to approach the Prayer Tower for prayers. God graciously delivered all of us from the ailments and is keeping us in good health. I always look back and thank God for His wonders. In times of trouble, the Prayer Tower has been a place of comfort. Recently the Lord has blessed me and is continuing to bless me through the ‘Jesus Calls’ Trumpet Prayer Group ministry. Before joining in TPG I used to read the Bible in a very shallow manner. But these days, God is teaching me truths in the Bible in depth and helping me to grow more in His knowledge. I am able to understand the meaning of the portions I meditate everyday and learn how to apply them in my practical life. God is helping me to gain spiritual insights which are new to me helping me have a closer walk with God. I had foot corn in both legs. After joining this prayer God has healed my feet completely. My daughter and son- in- law were in USA. September 2019, their visa expired and they had to come back to India. We were worried because they were shining in their jobs there but all of a sudden it had come to an end and my grand children’s studies were interrupted because of this. But God spoke to me that He was protecting them from the pandemic which spread so rapidly in the US. I thank God for His ways. Once, while going to the ATM my daughter left her purse there and when we returned to look for it we couldn’t find it. I came to the Prayer Tower and prayed for the purse to be found as it had all the important documents. Within a month, we received all the cards and IDs in the purse through post, packed in a cover. God mercifully helped my daughter get back everything that was in the purse. All glory be to God for His countless blessings. - G. Mercy, Salem
