wants His house to be a house of prayer but man has made it a den of robbers. The Bible says in John 2:17, the zeal for the house of God was burning in the heart of Jesus. In Haggai 1:4, God says “My people are living in well-built houses while My Temple lies in ruins.” God is crying today because His house is in ruins.

M
y precious friend, you will be blessed by the love of God this month. This month’s meditation is taken from Matthew 21:13. “It is written,” Jesus said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’” On one side Jesus says, ‘My house is a house of prayer’ and on the other side He says, ‘you have made My house as a den of robbers.’ God
My friend, what is God’s house? If you read John 2:19, Jesus looked at the God’s temple built by Solomon and said “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” In Acts 7:48-49, the Bible says ‘God does not live in houses made by human hands, but lives only in the hearts of the people.’ Yes, God says ‘your heart is My home!’ How is your heart today? Can you call it God’s temple or is it filled with filth, lust and fears of www.jesuscalls.org -December 2021

of the nation and as he offered the sacrifice to God, God came in the form of fire and consumed the sacrifice and the waters surrounding it. People bowed down and cried, “Truly the Lord Himself is God!” Yes, that is how your heart burns with the presence of God.
the world? Not only doing wrong deeds is sin but also carrying the fear of the world is sin. The moment a person fears the things of the world, it shows that the person is not trusting in God. The temple – the heart of such a person is in ruins and has become a den for the robbers to steal God’s glory from the temple of God. That is why Jesus says in Revelation 3:20, “I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with Me.” Yes, when you invite Jesus into your heart, He will come in and make your heart His home. He will eat with you, give you His Word and feed your soul with it. What a joy it is that God wants to make your heart, His home! Jesus says in Revelation 3:8 “I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name.” This is an open door to receive Jesus in your heart and for Him to rule in your heart. Let not your heart be troubled. Today, God wants your heart to be His house. He is zealous for your heart, to live in it and rule from it. He does not live in buildings, but He lives in your heart making it His temple.
Glory in all its splendor When God lives in your heart, firstly, your heart bears the glory of God. When Solomon dedicated the temple he built for God, fire and glory of God filled the temple. Even the priests could not bear that glory. When Elijah proved that the Lord is God before King Ahab and the people 4

God is a consuming fire and when He comes, He burns every nature of sin. When a person commits sin through the desires of the flesh; the pride of life and the lust of the eyes, the heart becomes a den of robbers. The heart allows the devil to steal the blessings what God has given. However, when a person opens the heart to Jesus and makes it His temple, Jesus Himself comes and along with Him the glory of God comes and the consuming fire lives in the heart. The door opens to stay connected with the Lord always and is never afraid. It would boldly say ‘what can man do to me? God is my helper!’ You will not be afraid of the works of the devil and will never succumb to sin and lustful pleasures. The fear of God will be in the heart. Yes, my friend, your heart has been destined as “My House” for Jesus. All the time, your heart will praise the Lord and rejoice over Him. You shall be more than a conqueror. The Lord will reign in your heart. In 2 Corinthians 6:16, God says “I will dwell among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” Yes God will be a father to you and you will be His child. All the time, your heart will hear the voice of Jesus right within and He will say, “you are My beloved child in whom I am well pleased”. You shall have no fear and you shall be more than a conqueror. Troubles, tribulations, sorrow or losses may come. Works of the wicked and jealous people may rise, or witchcraft and evil in the world may try to come and harm. However, your heart will prevail and walk without fear, filled with the glory of God. You shall be more than a conqueror through Him who loves you. He will continue to love you. You will never see the things around you, which are of the world and the devil. Your eyes will always be on Jesus and you will be the temple of God’s glory. This grace is given to you this month my dear friend. You are called by Jesus as “My House.”
Scripture Centre Secondly, when your heart is the “My House” of Jesus, His Word comes to you. In Luke 24:27 onwards, the Bible says when the two disciples were walking towards Emmaus, Jesus was speaking to them, revealing Himself through the Scriptures. As they heard Jesus explaining the Scriptures, their hearts were burning within them; and when Jesus entered into their home and ate with them, their eyes opened and they saw Jesus. Yes, the Holy Spirit will speak to your heart from the Scriptures and your heart will burn with the fire of God. The two disciples were speaking about the death of Jesus, but Jesus walked with them speaking life into them through the Scriptures and their hearts were burning within them. Yes, you will have this grace of receiving the Word from God in your heart as you become the temple of God. His Word will come to correct you and your heart will turn from your wicked ways (John 14:26; 16:8). The Holy Spirit will bring God’s word to your heart, which is God’s temple. This will make you see Jesus as He cleanses you with His word. What a great grace! Also, God will speak to you through prophecy when you become God’s temple full of the Holy Spirit. Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 3:16, “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?” He again says in 1 Corinthians 6:19, “Your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God.” The Holy Spirit will make you hear the prophetical guidance in your heart. He will guide you in every aspect of life be it relationships, business investments, choice of study, whom to financially support, and how to solve a problem you are facing. He will teach you all things and your heart will be led by prophecy.
Christ’s Characteristics Thirdly, God will give you visions. You will see Jesus, and you will have His nature in your heart when you see Him. The people will see you and say the glory of God is reflected in you, which will bring great honor to you. Yes, this is what
God wants you to be - the temple of God. When He speaks to your heart, you will have so much of joy and through it strength to accomplish everything. Yes, in God’s presence, there is fullness of joy. Your heart will rejoice when you get the solutions for every responsibility that you have. Consequently, the joy of the Lord will become your strength (Nehemiah 8:10), and you will go out into the world and be more than a conqueror by accomplishing everything. Joseph was the temple of God and kept himself holy. He heard the voice of God through revelation and thereby saved humanity. He knew from God how
to grow food to feed the entire nation and the nations of the world. He knew how to preserve and distribute food and how to establish a financial system to protect the economy of the nation. He knew how to settle people in different places as shepherds, farmers, businessmen, sales people and so on. He guided every strata of society and thus saved humanity. That is the confidence and power you get to accomplish through the revelation that God gives in your heart - God’s temple. You will become more than a conqueror in society through the Word of God, through prophecy, and through vision. This is in God’s house, which is your heart. Pray to God for this grace to be placed upon your heart. www.jesuscalls.org -December 2021

prophetical voice and words goes out of your heart to kings, nations, peoples, and languages. You will prophesy, see visions and bring God’s guidance to everyone in the world. This is the “My House” of Jesus! Your heart is God’s temple – the “My House” of Jesus!
Joyous Prosperity Fourthly, there is prosperity in your heart. Once Jesus sat by the offering box in the temple of God. The rich people gave from their plenty, but a poor woman gave two pence as an offering to God. Jesus said ‘she has given everything she had.’ That is the heart God gives you. When your heart is God’s temple, the Holy Spirit makes you give completely even the little you have with all your heart for God’s service. There is offering in the heart - the house of God; and the Lord appreciates it, blesses it, and increases it and feeds the people through His house just like He increased the five loaves and two fishes. According to Malachi 3:10, God is gracious to meet every need in the house of God. As you become God’s temple, you will have the heart to give. God is watching how you give. The real temple of God will give sacrificially. According to Malachi 3:10, the Bible says, God will open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. Yes beloved, God will pour out blessings upon your life. Not only that; as said in Ecclesiastes 5:19 and 3:13, you will have the divine grace to enjoy whatever blessings God gives you. Many people have riches they are unable to enjoy and live in fear, but whatever God gives you, He will make you enjoy it and live your life with joy. This happens when you cheerfully give to God. May God give you the grace to enjoy the blessings He gives you!
Fountain of Life Finally, God’s temple becomes the river of life. God fills the temple with His glory and the Holy Spirit. Through the Holy Spirit, God’s 6
JESUS CALLS December 2021 - www.jesuscalls.org
Friend, you are the living temple of God. You should carry people through God’s living words. Also, you should pray for them and speak life to their hearts. Be united to the Lord through prayer and bear His presence in your life wherever you go. God says in Isaiah 56:7, “I will give them joy in My house of prayer.” Yes, you will always be joyful in the Lord as you make your heart His house. There was a drunkard by the name Billy Bray. He gave his heart to the Lord though he was a poor man. He was working in the mines as a laborer. But after the Lord’s spirit came upon him, unlike how he used to be lying in the streets after getting drunk, he quit drinking and started jumping and praising God while walking back to his home from his workplace. The people who gave him company while drinking started mocking him because he was always praising God. He was full of the joy of the Lord. So people who saw him changed, started yearning for the joy he found in Jesus. They started seeking God. He started a church and every one was filled with the same joy. God’s peace flooded his heart and the people around him. One day his daughter fell sick with 106 degrees and so his wife gave him the little money that she had and sent him to bring the doctor. While on his way he met a church member, a lady and she told him, “My husband is no more with us and my children are hungry as I don’t have money to feed them and I am looking for someone who will help me.” As soon as Billy heard this, he gave the money to her and asked her to buy them food. After giving the money, he was worried about how to save his child. But at that moment he shouted exclaiming, “My Father knows everything. He is watching over my daughter.” He went back home but was wondering what his wife would say. She said, “After you went, our daughter suddenly sat up
on the bed and the fever has completely subsided. She is completely healed and full of life.” God had healed his daughter the moment he helped the lady and praised God. God will honor you in your house. He will make you rejoice. Yes, Philippians 4:4 says, “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” He will keep you in perfect peace and full of joy. He will do signs and wonders for you. Isaiah 61:10 says, “I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For He has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of His righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.” Yes, God is going to give you the robe of righteousness and garments of salvation. He will take care of you. Every blessing will come after you. Nobody will be able to accuse you. He will honor you before men. God will give you all these four kinds of joy as you open your heart to be God’s temple – the “My House” of Jesus. When Jesus died, He was buried in the tomb that belonged to a rich man of the day. In the same way He will prosper you. He will give you the best. According to Acts 11:14,
“you and all your household will be saved.” Your whole family will become the temple of God. God will give oneness of heart among everyone in your family. Be bold. Your children will be taught by the Lord and great will be their peace (Isaiah 54:13). God will give you these graces as you open your heart to become God’s temple. Pray to God to give you the grace to be His temple. Prayer: My loving Lord, I open my heart to You for You to enter. Let me become Your temple and my heart be Your throne. Give me the grace to carry You as the King of kings with all glory. Let me trust You without any worry and fear. Make me more than a conqueror through the Holy Spirit. Father, let me hear Your voice through the Scriptures and prophecy and have Your guidance to shine and prosper in the world. Scan QR code Give me the grace to give to watch this offerings sacrificially for Your message ministry. Revive me as I dedicate my heart to be Your house. Thank You for Your blessings. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

GOD’S OWN CHANNEL I basically think that the Family Channel is God’s own channel for humanity at large. There is a segment in the channel for everyone in the family. Samuel’s program along with Stella Ramola and Dr. Shilpa for youth, and their simple unassuming manner in which they share the message and word of God are evidences that God is in control at the Family Channel. Everyone plays their role aptly never over doing, keeping in mind that what they do is God’s Ministry, be it the news, or children’s program. On 01/10/2021, by 10.45 am, I tuned into Family Channel to hear Sis. Stella Dhinakaran talk of how elders should be continually loving and bearing fruits and not get discouraged with illness or poor health status! The message was a blessing to me. The news schedules are quite interesting to hear and understand, in its unique, easy, and relaxed manner of presentation! Sis. Evangeline Paul’s messages are apt, brief, without any pomp, down to earth and a great blessing. Bro. Paul Dhinakaran’s messages are authentic and to the point leaving no room for any doubt or questions. In all and overall, there is no channel that can be more common for all people irrespective of religion to listen to and profit from the Word of God, with a deliverance from our stress and strain, sin and sickness and fears in life. Praise be to God. - G Manuel Vijayasingh Yesudian, Salem, Tamil Nadu.

My beloved partner in the ministry, Praise the Lord! He has given all of us the grace to step into the final month of the year 2021. We have an amazing word from God declaring you are His holy temple! “My house will be called a house of prayer.” (Matthew 21:13) After His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, Jesus visited the temple of God. The temple courts had almost been turned into a market place and Jesus drove out all who were buying and selling there. This is when He spoke the above verse. He was zealous for the temple of God. God’s temple, which should have been kept holy and treated with all reverence, had become a market. Today, you are the temple of God! That is what the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 3:16: “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?” 12

Let us introspect to drive out anything that would make God’s temple unholy.
Grateful Heart “Let us come before Him with thanksgiving.” (Psalm 95:2) You cannot hold back tears while recollecting the past 11 months. The heart definitely rejoices with gratitude towards God’s divine provision and protection. Personally, I thank God for you and for all that He has done in the ministry and in the family. God enabled Family Channel and Karunya Academy for Theological Education (KATE) complete 1 year since their inauguration. My dear granddaughter, Katelyn, also turned one this year. Certainly, God would have performed many wonders and miracles in your life too. Give thanks with all your heart and glorify Him.
To Celebrate and Commune Children's Day was celebrated on November 14, 2021 in all Prayer Towers with various competitions for children on the theme:
'Children - God's Love Gift.' We had a special meeting organized for all the donors of Israel Prayer Tower and National Prayer Tower, Delhi. Also, as we celebrate Christmas, special meetings will be conducted in all Prayer Towers. Contact the Prayer Towers in your locality for further details.
Top Seeded: "In all matters of wisdom and understanding that the king inquired, he found them ten times better than all who were in his entire kingdom." (Daniel 1:20) Even before it was established, the Lord promised that He would raise Daniels, Esthers, Josephs, and Deborahs through Karunya University. I praise God, who has been true to His promise. Karunya University scientists make it to the most coveted Stanford's list of top 2% scientists. US-based Stanford University has listed four researchers from Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences (KITS) in Coimbatore among the top two percent of scientists in the world.
Celebrating Love “Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.” (Mark 16:15) Family Channel has been impacting every member of the family towards spiritual growth and values through its multifaceted programs. Very specially, it will help you begin the day with God’s promises and grace through ‘Indraiya Irai Vaarthai.’ I encourage you to watch it and be blessed abundantly.
Commuting made easy I request your precious prayers for metro station stops would soon be created at D. G. S. Dhinakaran Memorial Prayer Tower, Chennai and at Karunya Nagar, Coimbatore.
Theology Gateway I praise God for the 92 candidates enrolled in KATE

It is housed in the same campus as Bethesda International Prayer Tower, Karunya Nagar, Coimbatore. You can spend your time connecting heart-to-heart with God in this place of solitude blissfully lost in God’s presence. I thank God for the millions of people healed in their souls and physical body over the past 3 years through the Vision Center.

Where there is God’s presence, there His glory is revealed through miracles and wonders. Jesus Calls Prayer Towers shine God’s glory in the lives of those who visit or call requesting prayers, as they pray in unison with the prayer intercessors. Here is a short compilation of some of God’s mighty deeds through the Prayer Towers.
Bengaluru Prayer Tower, Karnataka Hope against odds My Brother-in-law Mr. Rajkumar was suffering from lung disorder and fell seriously ill in the month of September 2016. He was hospitalized for more than 45 days. I contacted the Bangalore Prayer Tower for prayers and miraculously he got healed completely and he is in good health now. Mr. Kadirvel, who is my son -in- Law's brother, was suffering from heart disease and was in ICU. Doctors gave up all hopes of survival. I called the Prayer Tower daily. He was hospitalized for more than a month and through the prayers he also was healed completely & has been restored to good health. I praise & thank God for Jesus Calls ministries and the prayer intercessors who prayed for us. 16

Kochi Prayer Tower, Kerala Blessings in surplus I am a partner of Jesus Calls for the last 26 years and have been blessed through the prayers of Jesus Calls ministry. When my grandchild was about to be born, the scan revealed that the throat of the child is affected with some problem. I called the Kochi Prayer Tower immediately. After the prayer, the prayer intercessor told me that nothing will go wrong for the baby and true to that, he was born as a normal and healthy child. I have enrolled him as a Young Partner. I was experiencing great distress and pain due to extra bone growth on my foot. One day I was watching Bro. Paul Dhinakaran's program in a Malayalam TV channel and prayed along with him. I was miraculously healed from my foot pain. Also, a lump behind my ear got healed during the prayer time of a Jesus Calls TV program. All glory and honor to God Almighty.

Vizag MVP Prayer Tower, Andhra Pradesh Giving, ushers receiving My pension though sanctioned, got delayed for so many months. My efforts were in vain. So I committed my need to God and made a vow that if I receive my pension I would donate to the Jesus Calls ministry. The very next month my pension was released. Then for some other reason in the second lockdown period, I was not able to fulfill the commitment by sending the offering to Jesus Calls ministry. So after five months I stopped receiving the pension. When I enquired in the office, they did not respond to me. Then I cried in the presence of God, and I remembered my vow with God. I committed again to God that if they released my pension in the next month I would surely give my offering to the Jesus Calls ministry. What a wonder it was! The very next month my pension was released. So I visited the Vizag MVP PT and donated my pension. What a great God we have! I thank dear Bro. Paul Dhinakaran’s family and prayer intercessors because it was through their prayer support I am happy now. - Rajeswari, Visakhapatnam www.jesuscalls.org - December 2021

Ranchi Prayer Tower, Jharkhand Desired admission In November 2020, I visited the Ranchi Prayer Tower to pray for my admission into college for under graduation. I had applied to two colleges but was rejected. After receiving prayers from the prayer intercessors, I felt I should send an application to Karunya. Miraculously I got a seat to pursue B.A Media and Communication in Karunya University. God has answered every prayer offered for me and now I enjoy my studies at Karunya. I am able to grasp everything my professors teach. I thank God for blessing me beyond my desires. Glory be to God.

National Prayer Tower, Delhi Healed from cancer I'm a Jesus Calls partner. I used to visit Delhi Prayer Tower regularly for prayer. In 2015, doctors found a painful tumor in my body and confirmed it as cancer. In May 2019, I went through great difficulty due to this cancer. I underwent major operation & chemotherapy to remove the cancerous growth. I continued to visit the Delhi Prayer Tower for prayer and the prayer intercessors prayed fervently. I never stopped my monthly offering towards the Jesus Calls Ministry during the lockdown period too. In 2021 February, I prayerfully went for my medical checkup. Doctors checked me thoroughly and gave me a report that said "There are no cancer cells in my body." Until today, my health is good. I'm doing well by the grace of God. I thank God for His grace and mercies in my life. My sincere thanks to Dr. Paul Dhinakaran, his family & all the prayer intercessors at Delhi Prayer Tower. 618

Pune Prayer Tower Saved from life threatening situation I was operated for a cancerous growth in the left wall of my abdomen. The treatment for cancer continued for 3 years. CT Scan was taken every 6 months and we were continually in touch with Jesus Calls Pune Prayer Tower for prayers. Finally a PET scan was done and it showed no evidence of cancer. My son Joe Varghese had high urine protein of 1500. The Doctor advised kidney biopsy. I came to the Prayer Tower and sought prayer for my son's healing and I vowed to God that if my son is healed I will sponsor a TV program. Miraculously, the Lord healed my son. After the prayer, my son was tested again and the reports were normal. All glory to God. - Aleyamma Varghese, Pune, Maharashtra
D.G.S Dhinakaran Memorial Prayer Tower, Chennai Son’s miraculous healing My son Bharat suddenly developed a lump growing around his neck. We took several medical tests for that. An examination was also done to see if the tumor was cancerous. We visited the D.G.S Dhinakaran Memorial Prayer Tower in person and prayed. The prayer intercessors there prayed earnestly for our son. Then we showed my son's test report to the doctor. When the doctor saw it, he said, "Your son has no abnormalities; it's just a normal abscess; there is no need to be afraid." Then they removed the tumor for good. Now my son is in good health. We give millions of praises to God, who gave my son complete health and happiness. I thank the prayer intercessors who prayed for him. - Sheela, Chennai

“Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.”
The Lord has done many wonders in my life and I have no words to describe all of God’s deeds in my life. Miracles are the supernatural works of God bearing His signature. They originate from God and are occurrences which cannot be possible by mere human strength, wisdom and power. However, miracles require one thing from our side, which is ‘faith.’ It is through faith that the invisible works of God become visible and real in our world in a supernatural way. We read the same in Hebrews 11:3, “By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” Yes, the creation of God around us is also a miracle though we rarely look at it that way. I encourage you to look around and be strengthened in your faith to receive the miracle you look forward to. One of the Lord’s miracles in my life was how He united me with His chosen vessel. Before my marriage, once, my mother and I were going through the Jesus Calls Magazine and my mother pointed out to the picture of Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and said that the one who is going to marry Paul Dhinakaran will be a blessed woman. We barely thought it would be me! On the day of my marriage, seeing the blessings in my life, my mother literally cried and said “Lord, I am poor and needy but You have been thinking about me. I can see how You have blessed my daughter.” This is also how the Lord blessed David for he says in Psalm 40:17 “I am poor and needy; yet the Lord is thinking of me.” Yes, the Lord is mindful of you too and He will bless you (Psalm 115:12). Do you believe God for the impossible in your life and in your family? The Father of Faith, Abraham is one of the best examples about how God can do what He says in the lives of His people against science and man’s wisdom. The Lord said,
“Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.” (Genesis 28:14) 20

Losses replaced in double measure
Scoring high
I come from a non-believing background. In 2007, I came to the Chennai Prayer Tower and heard about the Lord Jesus for the 1st time. Nevertheless I was living my life away from the Lord. In 2010, I lost my brother in an accident and in 2011 my sister died due to a sickness. This double blow shattered me that I felt there is no God at all. During that period, I even contemplated suicide. But the Lord Jesus intervened and one of my friends led me to the Lord. I became a partner of Jesus calls and started visiting the Prayer Tower regularly, read the Jesus Calls magazine diligently and I was greatly encouraged. I started growing in my faith on the Lord, and God blessed my business too. I got married and was blessed with two beautiful children. We had no house of our own, but now God has enabled us to reside in our own house. All glory be to God. - Jaykumar, Salem

Closed doors open After lockdown started in 2020, my brother lost his job. As this crisis was across nations, my parents didn’t force or blame him but he was searching hard and then lost hope as he couldn’t find any job. Days passed and my parents started telling him to at least study further or try for some other job. He didn’t take their advice seriously. Day by day, he became lazy and idle. This continued for almost 1 and half years. Because of this, the quarrels and fights were endless. There was no peace in our home. My mother used to cry daily. This caused much pain in our family. He didn’t even try for any job. In the month of March 2021, I told my brother to join in the Job Blessing Plan. He did not heed to my words, so without informing him I enrolled his name and I gave four months’ offering to Job Blessing Plan. The very same month, he joined an online course and started studying continually for three months. I was praying continually with faith. In October 2021, he attended an interview and the very next day he joined for job in a good IT company. Along with him, 6 others joined; however, only he was
accepted to join with just one round of interview while others were asked to write online exams. Jesus Christ did a great miracle through the Job Blessing Plan. I give all the praise and glory to our Lord Jesus who took away our burdens and gave peace in our family. - Subalakshmi.S, Kovilpatti

“And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me. Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.” (Jeremiah 32:40, 41) It could be inferred from the promise cited that the Lord wants to do good to His people. My dear ones, quite often we languish saying, “Who is there to do me good? Who is there to love me truly?” Not finding proper answer for this, many become miserable and even go to the extent of ending their lives. These days, plenty are the people who live with such hopelessness. They fail to deeply analyze the Scriptures and because of that, they hasten to take such decisions. If you read the Bible diligently, you can know the Lord’s love and the manner He wants to help His children. Today, it is good that we analyze the above promise more deeply and know about the good things that the Lord wants to bestow upon us in this season as we are on the verge of entering into the New Year.
Unfailing Goodness The Bible says, “the Lord will give what is good” (Psalm 85:12). When we believe this with our whole heart and plead to Him, who is the Hill from where comes the help, the Lord will 24
JESUS CALLS December 2021 - www.jesuscalls.org
surely give us good things. About this we read in the Bible, "The hand of our God is upon all those for good who seek Him” (Ezra 8:22). Yes, when we seek Him diligently and with reverence, and call unto Him, He will not fail to do us good. Two Hebrew midwives by names Puah and Shiphrah wanted to do good for the people of Israel. The king of Egypt had ordered them to kill the male babies born of the women of Israel, with the intention that the number of Israelites should not multiply. However, since these women feared God, they did not do so but saved the male babies. Hence, when the King of Egypt called them and asked them why they had not killed the male babies of the women of Israel during childbirth, they answered him convincingly being filled with divine wisdom and saved the children from destruction. As a result, God was pleased with the midwives and did them good (Exodus 1:15-21). Hence, when we too do such things with fear of God, knowing the depth of our heart, He will never hesitate to do us good.

This joyful message was announced to the shepherds by the angels of God and the shepherds directly saw Jesus, the Son of God born as a babe and rejoiced (Luke 2:8-20). Likewise, we read in the Bible, ‘let the righteous be glad’ (Psalm 68:3). Hannah, the mother of Prophet Samuel, prayed in the presence of God and declared saying to the Lord, who had miraculously changed her tears, “I rejoice in Your salvation” (1 Samuel 2:1). In the same way, because of the action of the wicked man Haman, the king commanded that the entire tribe of Jews should be destroyed and there was a great mourning, weeping and wailing (Esther 4:3). At that time, Queen Esther, along with the Jews, prayed with fasting for three days and nights. The Lord God heard their prayers and out of His power, wiped away their tears and blessed His people in such a way that ‘light, gladness, joy and honor’ filled them (Esther 8:16). 28

Even today, are you languishing in sorrow and tears, without joy? Are you troubled by the sorrows of the world? There is no other way, except the feet of the Lord to receive this divine joy. Hence, as the children of God mentioned above did, hold on to the Lord’s feet. Fast and pray, humbling yourself to the lowest level. Hearing your tear-filled prayers, He will change everything upside down and it is sure that He will fill you with divine joy, because of His love for you. In my life, during times of sorrow, I used to humble myself at His feet the whole day and fast and pray because of which God has given me perfect joy. I had shared this testimony several times. So, my dear ones, whatever your burden and worry is, hold on to the feet of the Lord firmly and enjoy receiving the joy of salvation and blessings.
Comfort and Consolation “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4) Yes, the Lord Jesus is the One, is the God of all comfort who comforts and consoles us. How badly the widow of Nain would have cried, when she lost her only son! But, look how God’s love was manifested at the right time in a miraculous way and how the Lord Jesus changed her sorrow into joy (Luke 7:11-16)! Yes, ‘loss’ creates inexpressible
sorrow in life. However, God’s love changes sorrows and brings comfort and consolation to us. Likewise, in the situation when it was four days after Lazarus was dead and buried, God’s divine love was powerfully manifested through Jesus Christ who gave him a new life and thus paved ways for divine joy to flow through that family. As the Bible says, wonderfully was God’s glory revealed by faith (John 11:40). In the same way, after the death of Jesus Christ, the disciples filled with agony and fear for the Jewish authorities, were hiding behind shut doors and it was at that time Jesus stood in their midst and said, “Peace to you” (John 20:26). At that time, even the doubting Thomas, out of great joy, cried out, “My Lord and my God” (John 20:28). Jesus, who is unchanging in His love even today, will appear in your midst, as you are in tears and in agony, will fill you with His divine joy and make you rejoice. In my life, when I lost my only beloved daughter, my heart was broken into pieces. When we place all our burdens and tears at the feet of Jesus with faith, ‘the Hill from where our help comes’ (Psalm 121:1, 2), surely our help would come from the God of gods, who has made heaven and earth. Accordingly, I also looked up to the Lord because of which He blessed me with dear daughter Evangeline, my daughter-in-law, and two granddaughters followed by another granddaughter Shilpa. Now He has added my great-granddaughter Katelyn and many other granddaughters and has comforted my broken heart. In addition, through the Esther Prayer Ministry, the Lord has given me several children, who fondly call me, “Mother” and is making me rejoice. Yes, the love of the God of gods is a comforting, divine love that changes all our sorrows. So, if you get united with our God of gods and hold on to Him completely, without thinking of your worries and agonies, He will change all your sorrows and will give you joy in your heart instead of sorrow as He is able to comfort you in every way.
Rejoicing in the Spirit In Isaiah 61:3, we read that God gives, “Oil of joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.” A good example for this is the incident that happened in the lives of Paul and Silas, the servants of God. God’s name was miraculously glorified through the ministry of both Paul and Silas. Hence, a few wicked people, who were jealous of them, falsely accused them and made the authorities put them in the inner prison where their feet were fastened in the stocks.
“But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners (Acts 16:25) were listening to them.” Hearing their songs of praise, God appeared there and then,
“Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were (Acts 16:26) loosed.” God’s love performed a miracle by making the keeper of the prison who saw this, to receive the God-given salvation experience. Yes, God’s love was manifested in order that he and his household would have the fullness of joy from Him. Yes, dear ones, terrible sufferings, afflictions and crises may surround us in our day-to-day life and make us shed tears. However, do not be discouraged by these but be of good cheer and give praises to the Lord with your whole heart according to the words of Jesus,
“In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome (John 16:33). the world." As you keep praising Him, God would be present in your midst and with His love, would stretch forth His hands. He, who stilled the tempestuous sea saying, “Peace, be still” (Mark 4:39) will remove every tribulation in your life, whatever they might be, deliver you by His divine power, fill you with the strength of the Holy Spirit and make you rejoice in Him.

Helping to construct churches has been part of the Jesus Calls ministry’s mission since its inception. Every month 10% of the donations received from people are given to pastors, to construct their churches particularly in villages and remote places or for emergency needs in their families. The generous giving of dear partners helps in building churches for the unreached to know the Lord and through this act, souls get connected to Jesus. Here’s how dear Pas. Paul Meshach has been blessed: I lost my parents at a young age. I grew up in a hostel. I came to know Jesus as my Father and Mother through one of the Jesus Calls Prayer Festival that is conducted at Marina Beach, Chennai. Then as called by God, I became a Pastor. It is through the help of Jesus Calls ministries’ donation that I was able to build my church and shepherd around 60 to 70 people with deep gratitude and sincerity. I thank God for the Jesus Calls ministry which is Heaven’s answer to my every prayer.

H
ey friend! Thank God because God’s promise comes right on time and manifests true to all those who hold on to it. This month, youth have the following promise from God: “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time.” (1 Peter 5:6) Maybe you have already been humbled in your life; with the people in your workplace illtreating you, or your own family ignoring you, or you are in a place which you do not like at all. Chances are that you have been long waiting for something to change. 32

Even though you are going through such a situation, you have been patient for the Lord’s sake and still faithful to your family. You still keep doing the ministry even though it is very small and doing your work however insignificant it may be. God has seen how you have humbled yourself under God’s mighty hand, waited for His time and have been faithful in small things. There was a man who worked so hard and deserved a promotion to the most coveted position in the company, ‘V ice President Marketing’. His boss called him into his office one day. So he took a moment, prayed and stepped in. Because of this little prayer, even though, shockingly, his boss offered him the
‘Vice President of Direct Sales’ position instead, which was one of the worst performing departments, he had the peace to accept it and not quit angrily. To everyone’s surprise, with God’s blessing on him, He had turned around that department to be the top performer in the company and his achievement spread wide receiving huge offers from many top companies. He wrote a top selling book and came to be known as the Guru of Sales. When his boss finally offered him the ‘Vice President of Marketing’ position, he had far outgrown it. “God...shows favor to the humble.” (James 4:6) This is the power of God’s blessing on the humble. You see, your reward doesn’t come because of your hard work or your boss or your name. Your reward comes from God, your father! “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” (James 1:17) So set your eyes upon Him, remain humble and patient and work heartily for the Lord, for when He rewards you with His mighty blessing your net will not be able to hold it.

QR code I humble myself before You. Give Scan to watch this me the grace to be patient for message Your time to lift me up. Lord, I claim this promise with faith.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year again! This joyous season never fails to evoke the feelings of cheer, warmth and the spirit of goodwill. As we eagerly await the festive celebrations, let us share the light of hope with the less privileged who face multiple hardships during this Pandemic.
We, at SEESHA, know what a huge difference even a small act of kindness could make in the lives of the disadvantaged, and so we choose this season every year to share our love & joy with needy children through a gift of new clothes. These new clothes fulfil a socio-emotional longing of such children and help in boosting their confidence and self-esteem.
Even as we get ready to gift them the happiness in the form of new clothes this year, you too can join us in bringing back their lost hope & smiles. Truly, there is nothing more rewarding than bringing smiles to the deprived children’s faces and watching their joy bloom!
Filling a needy child with hope & happiness! “I’m P. Muthu from Vanagaram, studying in Class 5. I lost my parents when I was a little child, and I’m being raised by my grandmother. She is a street vendor who makes a living by ironing clothes. With her meagre income, it has been a constant struggle for her to make ends meet. Due to our family’s deprived background, she’s unable to buy new clothes for me even once a year. Most often, I used to wear old, tattered clothes donated by others. Fortunately, for the last few years, I’ve been receiving a new set of clothing as an annual gift from SEESHA. Thanks, SEESHA for bringing us the festive cheer with a new dress each year!” - Mr. P. Muthu, SEESHA New Clothes beneficiary, Chennai

Here is a testimony of a person blessed by attending Special Blessing Meeting:
FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY My husband and I got married in 2009. I conceived twice but they were miscarriages. The doctors gave up hope. They said my womb is not good enough to hold a baby. Both of us were in tears. Our society instead of comforting us mocked at us. We attended Guwahati Prayer Festival in 2010, and Dr. Paul Dhinakaran called my name and said, "Sarah you have gone through miscarriage after miscarriage. God will bless you with a beautiful child. “We were shocked. We came to the stage, testified, and thanked God in advance in faith. In 2011, I conceived again and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Her name is Angelina. She is 10 years old now and is a Young Partner. She is doing well in her studies. Our sorrows have turned into joy through the prophetic utterance by Dr. Paul Dhinakaran. Praise be to the Lord. My husband Rupam was working in a private company for 9 years. He was searching for a government job for a long time. Those days we were suffering financially as a family. In 2016, during the Shillong Prayer Festival, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran prayed for a good job and my husband claimed the blessing during the prayer. Within a short while, he got a job in the Indian Army. Much praises to God for blessing us through Dr. Paul Dhinakaran. Glory to God. - Sarah & Rupam, Guwahati (Testimony shared in 2019)
