Jesus Calls (English) - February 2018 by Jesus Calls

During January 2018, series of New Year Blessing Meetings were arranged in several cities of Tamil Nadu such as Thiruvallur on 5th, Vellore on 6th , Chennai on 7th, Trichy on 13th, Namakkal on 14th and Salem on 15th for people to receive blessings for this year from the gracious hands of God. In addition to the people from these cities, thousands of people from the surrounding towns and villages thronged to have a personal touch from the Lord. Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and his family delivered the New Year Blessing messages and offered prayers for the people who had gathered there. On Sunday, the 7th of January, the New Year Blessing Meeting was held at the St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Higher Secondary School Grounds, Chennai. Dr. G. K. Francis (Correspondent, St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Higher Secondary School) and Bishops, Pastors, and several church leaders who participated in this meeting, cut a 40-feet long cake along with the family of Dr. Paul Dhinakaran to welcome the New Year. 2

Prayer and worship was led by Samuel Dhinakaran. Special prayer was offered for the nation by Sis. Stella Dhinakaran. Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran prayed fervently for God to bless the people. Along with the New Year Blessing Message, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran proclaimed decisively, that from the year 2018, the year of preparation for the secret coming of Jesus our Chief Shepherd will begin. The Vice Chancellor of Karunya Deemed to be University, Dr. P. Mannar Jawahar received the first copy of the new book that was released, titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joy in the Familyâ&#x20AC;? in Tamil authored by Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and his family. The graceful presence of nearly 200 pastors in each of these meetings through the NPMA (National Prayer Ministry Alliance) was a blessing. Let us thank God for it and for the many thousands who were touched through these meetings. www.jesuscalls.org -February 2018 JESUS CALLS

“The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.” (Psalm 34:10)

Jesus says, “If you shall ask anything in my name I will do it” (John 14:14). He promises, “when you seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, then all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33).

(Hebrews 6:14) Do you believe

This is a reassuring statement from the Lord – you shall not lack any good thing, provided you seek the Lord. All your possessions are nothing compared to what God has in store for you. And God is preparing every good thing to come into your life, not necessarily what you have longed for, but what He has prepared for you. For you know His thoughts are higher than

multiplying I will multiply you.” this? That’s going to be your future from this moment. The Bible says, “Yes, the Lord will give what is good;” (Psalm 85:12a). One of the greatest good things that He gives us is the blood of Jesus Christ.

“And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.” (Hebrews 12:24) Do you know what that good thing is that the blood of Jesus

brings? It is forgiveness of our sins! You and I can be forgiven only because of the blood of Jesus that speaks, “forgive, forgive.” For every sin that man commits, natural justice cries out, ‘punish, punish’! Satan, the accuser, is accusing us before the throne of God saying, ‘that man has committed this mistake; that woman has committed this sin; that servant of God has committed this (Revelation 12:10). All the time he is calling for judgment, for destruction, and permission to destroy. That’s what he is speaking. But then the blood of Jesus Christ speaks otherwise, He is always calling for forgiveness, because Jesus through His blood has paid the price for our sins. When the Arab – Israeli war broke out in 1967, the Egyptians had a great army and they could have destroyed Israel just like that. Even today the Israelites talk about it and say, ‘We could have been finished in just a second!” In one part of that battle, in the Sinai desert, the Egyptian army got the best of Russian tanks and they organized themselves very well whereas Israel had very few tanks and there was a mighty army coming against them, a huge army of soldiers with the best of rifles. The Egyptian army were hearing the sound, ‘forward, forward’. But when the time came for them to meet

the Israelite army, suddenly they began to hear a different command in their ears saying, “Retreat, Retreat.” The Israeli army were ready to be finished. Suddenly they saw the Egyptian army tanks turning around and going back at top speed. They were wondering what was happening! Then Israel pursued them and finally won the war. Later it was said, ‘we heard the voice saying, Retreat, Retreat’. But the army general said ‘I never said that. I said forward, forward, forward. How come you heard it otherwise?’ Till today nobody knows how that happened! When the accuser calls ‘punish, punish’, the blood of Jesus says ‘forgive, forgive’. Thank God for the blood of Jesus Christ that is available to us right now.

LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.” (Psalm 32:1,2) Let us confess our sins for He is righteous to forgive and cleanse every sin (Proverbs 28:13; 1 John 1:7, 9). That is the greatest good thing God is giving us, forgiveness and freedom through the blood of Jesus Christ. Thank God for this good thing. Would you say, “Thank you Jesus for this good thing! I am going to hear the voice, ‘forgiven, forgiven, and forgiven!’”

GOD’S DESIGN FOR COUPLES “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” (Genesis 2:18) God said, “It is not good for man to be alone” and so He created a helpmate for Adam. The Bible

God is ready to give this kind of ‘good thing’ in your family. He gives you a heart of righteousness and a way to serve the Lord, and the goodness follows- your children get blessed. Today that grace is coming to you. As my wife and I joined hands together and prayed, God’s healing went upon several other families. That’s what God gives you, the grace to pray together. Husbands and wives hold your hands and pray together. We do that all the time every day. That’s what keeps our family going. Even in this wicked world we have hope because God in His goodness protects us and provides for us. If you are still single, God will build your home today, and He will make His goodness to protect you.

GOD’S GOODNESS IS UNSTOPPABLE “Surely your goodness and love will follow me all

the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever” (Psalm 23:6 NIV) When God starts doing ‘good’ to you, it never stops! R.L. Stevenson was trying several ways to get the steam engine going. And every time the steam engine would start running, he would call his sister Mary and say ‘Mary it’s starting, come and see it’. She would shout and say ‘Oh, it started! it’s running, running’. But then it would stop. She would say ‘Oh, it has stopped’. But one day he found the solution. Mary started shouting as it started. She said ‘Stephen, it has started, it is running, running’.

Then after sometime she started shouting, ‘it’s not stopping, it’s not stopping’.

When He starts, it will never stop’. One blessing after another will follow because of His fullness!

JESUS CALLS

God's Miracles The ‘Jesus Calls’ Ministry has been helping to lead souls to the Lord through various facets like Prayer Tower, Television Programmes, Prayer Festivals, Magazine, internet etc., and also enables them to receive blessings from the Lord in their personal as well as family lives. Many receive blessings from the gracious hands of God through the various ministries and glorify Him. Those who have received blessings support this ministry through their offerings because they desire that others too should receive blessings just like they did, thereby becoming a blessing to themselves. We have given the testimonies of some of them below:

Double Blessing through the Prayer Tower Ministry

My husband works at Bengaluru. I had to come to my mother’s place at Sankarankovil for my confinement in the year 2013. At that point I had also applied for the Teacher’s Eligibility Test (TET). But when I came to Tirunelveli to write the test, I was very pessimistic as to whether I will be able to write the test as I became very weak. There was a ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Tower opposite to the Exam Centre where I had to write the test. I went there and asked for prayer assistance saying, “I was not able to prepare well for the exam. I am scared that I may not be able to write the exam at all due to the weakness in my body.” The prayer intercessor uttered words of faith saying, “The Lord will surely give you victory” and prayed earnestly for the Lord 8

JESUS CALLS www.jesuscalls.org - February - 2018

to strengthen me and I wrote the exam well. Moreover, we have been looking out for an alliance in marriage for my younger brother Joseph George for the past three years. We were in much agony as we could not find a suitable girl.

I continually went to the Prayer Tower at the HBR Layout area in Bengaluru and prayed for my brother to get married. The Lord approved the prayers that I offered at the Prayer Tower. He helped me pass the Teacher’s Eligibility Test and was gracious to enable us to conduct the wedding of my brother too. The Lord was so gracious to grant a grand wedding for my brother as well as a teacher’s post for me in a Government Aided School in the year 2017. Our family is completely blessed through the Prayer Tower Ministry. - Matilda Raphael, Sankar Nagar Tirunelveli

Miraculous healing through the Prayer Festival

I am employed in a department under the Tamilnadu Government. I have been affected with psoriasis for the past three years. My scalp will peel out and fall off like fish scales. Cracks which seemed as though a knife had cut through were visible on the skin on my hands and back area. I was in much agony due to this condition. Being unable to bear the intensity of the ailment, I went to various doctors for treatment. In addition to getting treated at Madurai, I went as far as Chennai and received treatment from various doctors but to no avail. In this situation, the ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Festival was held in the beginning of the year 2017 in January at Madurai and I participated in that meeting with much anticipation.

On the first day of the Meeting, Bro Paul Dhinakaran said, “The Lord is healing a brother who is suffering with sores all over his body”. That word touched me and it triggered and lifted the faith in my soul. That disease which could not be cured despite the efforts of many doctors vanished completely by the next month. Now, there is no trace or scar that I even had such a disease in my body. Since the Lord healed me completely, I share my testimony and give my offering at the Madurai Prayer Tower so that many would receive blessings just like I did. All glory to God. - S.Vijayaraghavan, Madurai – 1.

Blessed with a child after 16 years

I got married in November of 2001. Though many days had gone by, there was delay for us to be blessed with a child and so we went to the doctors for a check-up. They said that nothing was wrong with us and that everything was normal. Still, I was unable to conceive for several years as a result of which my husband and I were very dejected. We felt as though we were forsaken by everybody and spent our days in grief. The Thanksgiving Meeting for the year 2016 was arranged at the ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Tower at Anna Nagar, Chennai on the 31st of December 2016 and I took part in that meeting. At the end of the meeting, during individual prayer time, the prayer intercessors

expressed confidence and prayed saying, “Next year, you will come along with your child”. I could not believe a word of it that was said when I went back home. But, as soon as I went home, I put my trust on the Lord and continued to pray for it. The Lord honored the promise that He gave through His servants, the prayer intercessors and in the month of February 2017, He blessed my womb and was gracious enough to protect the fruit of my womb throughout my confinement. But when it was time to deliver the baby, the doctors said that the mouth of the uterus had not opened at all and since I had conceived after several years, they were very much worried about me. I contacted the Prayer Tower at Anna Nagar through telephone and asked for prayer assistance after explaining my condition to them. The prayer intercessor prayed earnestly for me and hopefully said to me, “It will be a normal delivery”. Having completed 16 years of our marital life, I gave birth to a baby boy through normal delivery on the evening of November 22nd which happened to be our 16th wedding anniversary! The Lord performed an unimaginable miracle in my life. I thank the prayer intercessors who prayed for me. I give billions of thanks to the Lord. - Ranavia Arockiadoss, Puducherry

Miracle through Magazine My daughter Ruth Kanmani is now in Seventh Grade. She was down with fever last August and so we

in two hospitals. So, they sent her to a Special Hospital for Children at Chennai and there the doctors informed us that her kidneys and liver were damaged. They started the treatment and put her on dialysis stating that the salt content in her blood was very high. Even though we knew the Lord, we were not close to Him at that time. As my daughter was undergoing treatment at the Children’s Hospital, I happened to get a copy of the May 2017 issue of the ‘Jesus Calls’ Magazine. The testimony of a brother who was healed from kidney failure titled,

‘The Lord created new organs’ was published in it. I read it and that night, I was very heart-broken. I vowed to the Lord and prayed and the Lord did a miracle. All the medical reports of my daughter were completely changed on a single day and the Lord graciously granted her complete healing. I praise the Lord who saved my daughter from septicemia (poisoning of the blood). I have enrolled my daughter Ruth Kanmani and my son Daniel as ‘Jesus Calls’ Young Partners. - D. Poongothai, Chennai.

JESUS CALLS

My dearly beloved, Let me bring you a word from the Lord for the second month of the New Year straight into your heart. It is from Revelation 3:8 that says,

“…See, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it...” The Lord will open wide doors for you to receive the blessings you have been waiting thus far in your children’s education, your job and in your business. In the ministry too, through your generous gifts, God will

open new doors. In the year 2018, according to the vision that God has given, we will have the Gospel preached to around 2.5 crore new people. For this, please pray that God will open new doors in the ministry to add souls into His fold.

FEBRUARY, BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA “Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.” (Daniel 12:3) On the 20th of February 2008 the Lord according to His divine will, called Home my beloved father and your brother who was His own beloved apostle and hugged him to His bosom. He brought comfort and healing, and through the Word of God brought hope into innumerable people. Obeying God, founding the Jesus Calls, Karunya ministry through

tireless efforts and faithfulness, his demise sunk everyone into sorrow. God who plans everything even before the foundation of the world gave me a new era in the ministry strengthened me through the Holy Spirit and enabled me to take the lead and continue the calling. In order to preserve the timeless classics of the truths preached by my father and to ensure that it is passed on to strengthen and build the faith of the future generations, we have embarked upon a massive Digitization Project. Thus far it is you who have been upholding this huge task by your generous gifts, and please continue to uphold these efforts by pouring on us your precious love, prayers and material support. In the year 1955, on 11th February my Father accepted Jesus Christ and from 1955 to 2008 God used him tremendously and touched and transformed the lives of thousands of people. Your share in the ministry through your generous offerings and gifts will mean that you are also involved in leading the lost souls to the Lord Jesus Christ.

PRAYER FOR CHILDREN “Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:3) 10

JESUS CALLS February 2018 - www.jesuscalls.org

When it is time for examinations, fear begins to grip the hearts of both students and parents. Fear of the future; not able to focus on studies: the expectations of the parents; the anxiety of children etc., etc. Taking advantage of this, the evil one attacks their minds with unnecessary fearful thoughts and paralyzes their minds and emotions. Therefore, every year we take a huge effort to sincerely pray during the entire exam time so that God’s presence will dwell with the students, giving them peace, health and strength to preserve during the exam season, filling their hearts with courage to concentrate on their studies. This is done through a huge Prayer Meeting held exclusively for school students. This year we are planning to hold these meetings on 3rd February in Bethesda and on 4th in Chennai. I request parents and teachers to bring the children of all the schools in your area and make your children receive blessing, wisdom, protection, health and courage. Those who are not able to make it in person can watch it vide facebook (https://www.facebook. com/Dr.PaulDhinakaran/) and through live webcast (www. jesuscalls.org) the Jesus Calls Website and be blessed. It is for the sole purpose of praying for protection on children and for their bright future and for their wisdom that the Young Partners plan was given to us. We along with several prayer intercessors pray every day for each person who gets registered in

Jesus Calls Young Partners Plan. All those who get enlisted are being continually prayed for in the 24x7 Prayer Tower. I encourage you to put your children and your children’s children into the plan and see the blessings come upon them and on you too. You can contact our area Ambassador or visit www.jesuscalls.org or call 1800 425 77 55 (7 a.m. to 9 p.m.) and get more details. Please don’t forget to send us your children’s Exam Time Table and prayer requests related to exams so that I will be able to specially pray for every specific exam. Send them to Dr. Paul Dhinakaran, Jesus Calls, Bethesda Prayer Centre, Karunya Nagar, Coimbatore-641 114 or paul@jesuscalls.org For prayers during the exam day you may call 044 33 999 000 and get prayer help.

Sports for Special Children

“Let me win, but if I cannot, let me be brave in the attempt” – this is the motto of the Special Olympics. This is also the motto of the Special Games organised as part of the Karunya Evangeline Memorial Tournament (KEMT) in Karunya Institute of Technology & Sciences. SEESHA organises this annual event to promote inclusive development and also to give people an opportunity to see how talented people with special needs can be! In order words, this special event is an attempt to help people see them for their abilities rather than for their disabilities. This year, over 450 differently-abled children from 14 special schools across Coimbatore district participated in this event. Breaking down stereotypes, these children participated in a range of events despite their special conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, intellectually disabled, visually impaired, hearing impaired and locomotor disability.

From Beneficiaries to Donors!

Inspired by the selfless service of SEESHA and the donors who continuously support its work, child beneficiaries of SEESHA’s Child Learning Centres in Coimbatore decided to do what they can to give back! Through individual contributions as small as Rs. 5, these children pooled in whatever they could save from their meagre pocket allowances and contributed it to SEESHA. With this contribution, SEESHA has been able to provide 7 government schools in the district with educational essentials. We are truly proud to have become an inspiration to these children and use their contributions to help children like them have an enriching learning experience. Contribute to SEESHA and avail tax benefits as per Section 80G of the Indian Income Tax Act. To contribute to the Differently abled project, send a Cheque/DD/Money Order in favour of “SEESHA” to our address: No. 16, DGS Dhinakaran Road, RA Puram, Chennai - 600 028. or Donate online at www.seesha.org In case of queries, call +91 44 6666 0000

God has given to us this gift from the hidden treasures of heaven as said in Isaiah 45:3.. Rekha Jeevan Gaikwad, Ahmed Nagar, Maharashtra I had a desire that I should come and pray at the National Prayer Tower after my retirement. God fulfilled this desire. Just before 15 days of my coming here, I had a vision of this Prayer Tower and I was sitting with others in a glorious place and praying. After coming here, I received the gift of

prophecy and the gift of discernment. My prayer pattern has changed and now I can pray for long hours and for the various prayer points concerning the nation, prophecy fulfilments and the Jesus Calls ministry. All Glory to God. Anita Raghunath Masihi, Vyara dist, Gujarat During my stay here, I could see visions, prophesy, pray in different tongues and pray with burden for the points given.

God is light God is light , and in Him is no darkness at all (I John 1:5). Long long ago God had promised that He would come to the earth to deliver men from the prison of darkness. To fulfill that promise He descended to this earth in the name of Jesus, which means ‘Saviour,’ ‘Deliverer from darkness.’ What was He like? In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. John 1:4,5

was radiance wherever Jesus went. What did He say of Himself? “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12; 9:5; 12:46). To demonstrate that God is light, He came to this earth in human form.

night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You.” Psalm 139:12 God dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see (I Timothy 6:16). He says that He will dwell in the thick darkness (I Kings 8:12; Psalm 18:11; Psalm 97:2). When the Lord descended upon Mount Sinai to manifest Himself to Moses, the entire mountain was set aflame (Exodus 19:18); and the people who saw it did tremble and shiver. There was such blinding light, but the Bible says that by its side there were also clouds and thick darkness (Deuteronomy 4:11). Our God is a wonderful God. Strange and mysterious are His ways!

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.

with our limited wisdom and doings. However, God is God and man is merely man. The Bible says that He remembers that we are dust. “He has established the world by His wisdom” (Jeremiah 10:12). His power and wisdom are boundless. Our Lord Jesus asked the Pharisees, “Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God?” (Mark 12:24). Very often smitten by pain and beset by troubles we are unable to place our trust and faith on Him. That is because we equate His powers with ours and limit them in our estimation. But He intervenes in the most miraculous manner. The Bible says, “Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness” (Psalm 112:4). Job affirmed, “By His light I walked through darkness” (Job 29:3) and the Psalmist was confident that the Lord God would enlighten his darkness (Psalm 18:28). The prophet Micah again declared, “When I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me” (Micah 7:8).

From what type of dangers the merciful eyes of Jesus are and darkness does God desire watching you. He will drive away your sorrows and grant to deliver us? you joy.

Darkness of sin

Everyone wanted the woman caught in adultery to be stoned to death. But Jesus said that he who was sinless among them could first cast a stone at her. None dared and Jesus told her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more. Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life” (John 8:11,12). Yes, Jesus came into this world to lighten our pathway. Jesus looked at a frustrated man lying diseased for 38 years. In a moment He diagnosed his disease (John 5:1-9). Yes, with a quick glance He comes to know our pains and problems.

Once, when I had been to Bangalore, a young man came to me saying, “Sir, look at my legs for a moment. I am lame and have no job. How long am I to endure such a life? Please heal me” and he tightly clutched my hands. A bedridden sister, who had lost the use of her legs in an accident, told me, The Lord who had led “Brother, I have remained in Abraham, Isaac and Jacob bed for four years. How long should I endure this pain? Do through darkness and danger heal me.” will be our Light as well and lead us amidst any darkness Yes, we are living in a world that may engulf us. Hence, full of sorrow and pain. Men let us not lose heart. He is all may not notice you, and you may not confide in men, but sufficient for us. 32

The enemy makes us dwell in darkness. Of the devil, Christ said, “He is a liar and the father of it…He comes to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 8:44) The devil is another evil force ever opposed to us. He can seize a man’s life in two ways. He comes into hearts filled with darkness and resides there. When there is no light in our hearts, we ourselves give room for the devil to reside in them (Matthew 12:43). Another method he adopts is to stand by our side and prompt us to do evil. At first the devil would have come and stood beside Judas and then he might have told him that Jesus, for all His miracles, was only a carpenter. What would he gain by following a mere carpenter? (John 13:2). Shouldn’t he have a band of his own? Judas perhaps listened to the evil suggestion and betrayed Jesus. But Jesus says, “I have come that you may have life, and that you may have it more abundantly(John10;10).”

Darkness of Sickness The devil can also bring about certain diseases in your body. The doctor may examine your body and say that there is nothing wrong with you. Jesus

heals all those in the grip of the devil. When His light fills our hearts, the devil trembles at our sight. The man who had the spirit of an unclean devil, when he saw Jesus, cried out with a loud voice (Luke 4:34,35). There was another man with an unclean spirit who lived naked among the tombs. There were about 2000 devils within him. He broke the fetters and chains with which he was bound and bruised himself with stones. He was not aware that he was bruising his own body. That was because the devil was within him(Mark 5:1-5). Yes, evil forces surround us. They stand beside us and stir up evil thoughts in us. They come in if we give them room. But if Jesus were to come into our hearts they dare not approach us. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love (Colossians 1:13). God dwells in the unapproachable light which no man has seen. Christ sits on His right hand. There is a light which surrounds them both and no one can enter that region. Christ alone is omnipotent there. As claimed by Him, all power is given unto Him in heaven and in earth( Matthew 28:18). What a great security it is for us when our life is hidden in Him. Is it not an esteemed privilege to have

this light within us and dwell in its unapproachable region? There are devils, black-magic, sorcery and witchcraft in this world; but Christ has power over them all. If Jesus were to live in your hearts these adversaries will bow their heads on seeing you. As St. Paul was going along the road one day, a woman possessed with the spirit of divination saw him and cried, “These men are the servants of the Most High God” (Acts 16:17,18). The devil can recognize us. You may be illiterate, unable to even read the Bible. But if Jesus were to live in your hearts, even a million devils have no power to touch you. Know this for certain that all the devils, magic, witchcraft and necromancy cannot even touch your hearts. When Jesus, who triumphed over all, dwells in us there is no doubt that the devil will flee in terror. The wicked devil tortures our hearts and tries to fill them with darkness, but out Saviour Jesus has power over darkness. He who said, “I am the light of the world”, also said, “In My name they will cast out demons” (Mark 16:17). It just means that the devil will tremble at the name of Jesus. Why should we think of the devil and tremble at the thought? We can utter “Jesus” the matchless name

and make the devil tremble instead.

The Darkness of Death Job bewails, “On my eyelids is the shadow of death” (Job 16:16). He again laments, “Before I go to the place from which I shall not return, to the land of darkness and the shadow of death” (Job 10:21). God again asks Job, “Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?” (Job 38:17). All of us have to pass this shadow of death some day or the other. A very wealthy man in Italy wanted to record what would be a person’s experience at the time of death. He took a paper and pen and then drank a bottle of poison. He wrote just a single line, “Everything is dark.” He could not proceed further and just fell down dead. But those who have received Jesus Christ, the Light of life, in their hearts gladly welcome death. For only through the door of death can one enter Paradise, where millions of angels are waiting to welcome us. Jesus Himself sits there and receives us saying, “Enter thou unto the joy of the Lord.” What makes the Psalmist say, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil” (Psalm 23:4). It is because, “You are with

A victim of acute heart disease, she was taken to the How is this darkness to be hospital and surgery was done dispelled? While hanging on her. She then called her on the Cross, Christ pleaded sister and said, “I am going with God to forgive those who to the heavenly abode of our reviled Him. He promised a Father, where I will see our place in paradise for the thief who was crucified by His side. father and mother.” As she said He took leave of His mother these words her eyes dimmed. and asked her to accept His She had preached about Jesus disciple John as her son in His

place. And to His disciple John He commended His mother (John 19:26-28). After that, darkness enveloped the Cross for three full hours (Matthew 27:45). He who brought light into the world, He who witnessed that the darkness did not comprehend the light, He who declared, “I am the light of the world”, suffered in darkness. He cried in bitter agony, “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” Let us not be troubled in our hearts and minds because the same Jesus says, “I am Eternal Light” and waits to shed that light on us. He is waiting to send that light to all those who ask for this light of life, victory over sin, calmness, peacefulness and happiness in life, because He is the Eternal Light.

JESUS CALLS www.jesuscalls.org - February - 2018

In the Old Testament of the Bible, we read that early men of God, Enoch and Noah walked with God (Genesis 5:24; 6:9). We should be aware that accordingly, we too can walk with God as a family and interact with Him, even today. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me’ (Revelation 3:20). As the Bible says thus, when we open our heart to Jesus who knocks at the door of our heart, He would enter in happily and change us into His own people. We can feel His sweet presence filling our house. Let us meditate on a few families in the Bible which God made as His own and blessed:

Family that believed the Lord: “Now the LORD had said to Abram: "Get out of your country, From your family And from your father's house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." (Genesis 12:13). Terah, Abraham’s father did not know the Lord God. One day, he took his son Abraham, his grandson Lot and Sarai the wife of Abraham to go to the land of Canaan. But when they came to Haran, Terah died at the age of

205 years (Genesis 11: 32). It was then the Lord graciously called Abraham from that family. When Abraham departed Haran, he was 75 years old (Genesis 12:4). He had no child. One day, the Lord took him outside and said, "Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them’ (Genesis 15:5) and further said, "No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations… I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you’(Genesis 17:5,6). At that time when there was no hope and when he was an old man of 100 years, and in that state when Sarah had passed the age of child bearing, he held on to that promise. Dear ones, the Lord invites us lovingly and wants to deliver us from the power of darkness and make us His own people www.jesuscalls.org -February 2018 JESUS CALLS

(Colossians 1:13). He has given us promises from the Scriptures just as how He gave promises to Abraham. Several years back, my husband and my five year old daughter Angel was critically ill and nearing death. I was in great agony. That time I happened to read the history of Job in the Bible. The words that he trusted God and held on to Him even after losing all his wealth, riches, his ten children on the same day and even after being assailed by terrible diseases, encouraged me. I too held on to the Lord’s words. The Lord miraculously removed the shadow of death in my family and made me happy by sending His light. Accordingly, sorrows and sufferings may attack your family in many ways. At such times, instead of running to man to share your difficulties and get comfort, if you diligently read the promises which God has given us so freely, every day, He would speak to you. Then the more you read His Scriptures and believe on it, the more you would enjoy the Lord’s presence, blessings and comfort. Contrary to hope, Abraham in hope believed the Lord’s words which said, ‘I will make your descendants as the sand of the sea and the stars of heaven. You will be a father of many nations’. He was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God and being fully con36

JESUS CALLS February 2018 - www.jesuscalls.org

vinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. (Romans 4:18-21). That’s why the Lord, who does great and mighty things, blessed Sarah’s dead womb and multiplied that family according to His word. Also through his dear son Isaac, whom God has given as per His promise, He tested the sincere love of Abraham on Him (II Corinthians 8:8).

Be firm and steadfast even when trials attack you to test the sincerity of your love. The Lord will show you wonders.

Then He said, "Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you." (Genesis 22:2). What a great agony Abraham would have undergone when God asked him to offer his son Isaac as an offering! Yet, he held on to the promise given to Him by the Lord. Concluding that God who had promised, "In Isaac your seed

shall be called’ was able to raise him up, even from the dead, he offered up his only begotten son; from which he also received him in a figurative sense’ (Genesis 21:12; Hebrews 11:15-19). Hence, the Lord blessed Abraham in all things, blessed him greatly and made him great (Genesis 24:1,35). This world lies under the sway of the wicked one (I John 5:19). In order to deliver us from this horrible state and from the present evil age, God the Father, sent His Son Jesus to this world (Galatians 1:4). He gave Himself for us on the cross (Ephesians 5:2). Even today, this loving God wants to deliver you from the darkness of this world and from all tribulations, and tells you, “Daughter, I gave Myself on the cross for you; I was bruised and broken; I was scourged and torn; they spat on my face; I was crowned with thorns; I endured all these sufferings solely for the reason to deliver you from darkness and bring you into the light”. A sister, who was married for 17 years, did not have a child. Her husband had no love for the Lord. But this sister was a godly woman. Whenever she faced hardships, dejection and sorrow, she used to run to the bathroom, open the tap and cry out in agony. The Lord, who saw her tears and pain, tested the sincerity of her love even in that state and made her con-

ceive a child after 17 years. The husband, who saw the Lord’s miracle, totally changed, accepted the Lord Jesus as his Saviour and committed himself to Him. They began to serve the Lord as a family. Do you want to serve Him, as a family? Love the Lord with your whole heart, like Abraham did. Trust Him. Seek the Lord as a family and pour out your tears to Him. Be firm and steadfast even when trials attack you so as to test the sincerity of your love. The Lord who does wonders will show you wonders (Micah 7:15). He will give you the grace to serve Him as a family.

Family that showed love to the Lord: “Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work” (II Thessalonians 2:16,17). The Lord, who loves us, expects love from us. In the final chapter of the Gospel of John in the Bible, the resurrected Jesus looks at His disciple Peter and asks him, ‘Do you love Me?’ When the Lord Jesus was on this earth, there was a family – Martha, Mary and Lazarus – in

Bethany, which loved Him dearly. Martha, who accepted the Lord with great love, and who showed Him love did not ask and receive what ought to have been received. Rather she was worried and troubled about many things. Jesus Himself said about her thus (Luke 10:38,41). On the other hand, Mary, her sister, sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word and thus chose that good part (Luke 10: 39, 42).

The Bible says that the family that fears God and walks in His ways is blessed. Such a family would see the good of Jerusalem all the days of life.

Sometimes, we too are constrained by the various worries of the world and become dejected easily, instead of asking and receiving profound spiritual things from the Lord. So, cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you (I Peter 5:7), lest your hearts be weighed down (Luke 21:34). Once when Jesus went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Him. And behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, "Have mercy on

us, O Lord, Son of David!" So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, "What do you want Me to do for you?" (Matthew 20:2932) and opened their eyes. Similarly, Jesus saw a man lying in the porch of the pool called Bethesda, for 38 years, and asked him, “Do you want to be made well?’ and healed him (John 5:6). There was a brother, who knew the Lord, but did not believe Him. He used to go to church regularly but there was no connection between him and God. At that juncture, he fell critically ill and was admitted in a Christian hospital. The doctors who tested him advised for a heart surgery. On hearing this, he was gripped by fear. Since he had no connection with the Lord, he struggled not knowing how to pray. When he was taken into the operation theatre, he saw the verse “I will give you a new heart’ (Ezekiel 36:26) written on the wall. As the Bible says, ‘Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart’ (Jeremiah 15:16), this verse encouraged him. He trusted the Lord fully and submitted himself for the surgery with joy. The Lord helped him and gave him a new heart. Since then, he fully believed on the Lord and became His son. Accordingly, when we too hold on to the Lord firmly, He would be with us and help us; He would strengthen our faith and give us a new life. www.jesuscalls.org -February 2018 JESUS CALLS

When King Hezekiah was nearing death, Prophet Isaiah said to him, 'Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.'" On hearing this Hezekiah wept bitterly and said, "Remember now, O LORD, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what is good in Your sight”. The Lord had compassion, changed his sick bed, and added 15 more years to his life (Isaiah 38:1-5). Dear ones, are you going through a similar path today? Do not be troubled. Open your heart and home to Jesus, who sees your tears. When you call to Him, He would be near you and wipe away your tears (Psalm 145:18,19). He will make you happy.

Family that walked with Fear of God: There was a certain man called Cornelius, a centurion, a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always (Acts 10:2). The Bible says that the family that fears God and walks in His ways is blessed. He would dwell in such a family and bless it. Such a family would see the good of Jerusalem all the days of life’ (Psalm 128). How to live godly as a family, everyday? Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on 38

JESUS CALLS February 2018 - www.jesuscalls.org

your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths’ (Proverbs 3:5,6). An important thing that ought to be done by every family that says, “We have known the Lord” is to jointly hold on to the feet of the Lord, early in the morning. The Bible says, ‘…those who seek me diligently (in early morning) will find me’ (Proverbs 8:17). My father-in-law used to sit for family prayer exactly at 6 O’clock in the morning. It is his zealous godliness that builds our family even today. As he taught us that day, every morning we seek the Lord’s feet, as a family. Then the Holy Spirit would speak to us through the gift of prophecy. At that time, we would pray with tears not only for us but also for each and every partner of the Jesus Calls ministry and for those who write to us their problem. When a family which is like yours can pray for you, can’t you pray as a family? A family that prays together stays together. Division, rifts and sufferings would be there in the family where there is no prayer. When His Kingdom and righteousness are sought first, He will add all the other things (Matthew 6:33). Also, by praying together, like mindedness, same

love, one accord and one mind are formed (Philippians 2:2). Perhaps if you are short tempered, when you pray together, the Holy Spirit would come in your midst and will fill you with the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and which the world cannot give (John 14:27). He will bind your family with unity and one accord. Several years back, there was a small misunderstanding between Queen Victoria of England and her husband. In a huff, he left for his room and locked it. The Queen too locked herself in her room. A few minutes later, the Queen had an idea. She came out of her room, knocked at her husband’s door and said politely, ‘Open the door”. But he did not open the door. Finally she said with authority, “I, Queen Victoria, command you to open the door”. Any citizen, whoever it may be, should obey the Queen’s order. So, he came out and then she stooped from her status of being a ‘Queen’ and humbled herself as his wife. Both of them sought each other’s pardon and got reconciled. Yes, when unwanted characteristics such as bitterness, envy and enmity crop up, look up to the Lord. He will totally change all your unwanted nature and grant you a sweet and pleasant family life.

When the husband and wife live united with the Lord, there would not be any room for division in that family according to the promise, ‘a threefold cord is not quickly broken’ (Ecclesiastes 4:12). Shun worldly pleasures and join the Lord. Joy would overflow in your family. The man called Cornelius in the Bible, prayed to God always. Hence, the Lord wanted to bless his entire household and ordered His angel to bring His disciple Peter. Having sent men to bring Peter, Cornelius was waiting, calling together his relatives and close friends. When Peter was speaking the Word of God to that

Bible Portion from Leviticus, Numbers & Deuteronomy (Answer with Biblical reference)

household, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word (Acts 10:44). One man’s thirst (Isaiah 44:3), made the whole family, relatives and friends receive the Holy Spirit. Dear ones, we have come to the last days. When we see the several things that are happening in the world, it could be deciphered that the Lord would be coming soon. Isn’t it? What are you going to do for the Lord, as a family? Like Cornelius, would you ask, ‘Lord, change my family into a godly family; fill us with the Holy Spirit; let us arise as witnesses for you as a family”. He will make you

His own people. He would bless you just as how He delivered Abraham’s family from darkness and multiplied it; He will shower His love on you and lift you up as a family and establish you even though you may be passing through the valley of the shadow of death, like the family of Martha and Mary. He will change your family into a godly one just as how He did for Cornelius family and thrill you by filling you with His Holy Spirit. May the Lord bless you to live as a family chosen by Him, to be diligent in fulfilling His will and to shine for Him by getting filled with His presence!

Dear sisters and children who pray in the Prayer Group, pray with much burden for the each and every prayer point sent to you and hold on firmly to the promise word given to you with fervency in the spirit. The Lord will do a miracle. He will also bless you. If possible try to memorize the promise verse and retain it in your heart.

Good Fellowship; miraculous change During the Zonal Esther Prayer Group meeting and the counseling held in our area, we prayed for the gift of a child for Sis. Emima, the leader of Youth Esther Prayer Group. The Lord heard the prayer and made her conceive. But the doctor who tested her said that she had a tumour along with the foetus. We continued to pray for her complete deliverance and the Lord heard the prayer and helped her to deliver the child healthily and He also removed the tumour without any trace, much to the doctor’s amazement. The prayers offered by us as leaders of the group are of great benefit and strengthens our fellowship. In our group, one of the sister’s husband, always used to quarrel and trouble her a lot, thus making the family lose peace. The Lord heard the earnest prayers offered by us in the Esther Prayer Group for his transformation and changed him completely. He has enabled them to live happily as a family. 40

Sarada said happily that she would also begin an Esther Prayer Group with 8 sisters. Glory to God. - M.Rebecca Isaac Mohan, Chennai.

Replenished by the promise The promise verse for the month of October was wonderful.

As you rightly say, it is not possible with man. When we try to succeed on our own efforts, many things would come in the way and we would not be able to accomplish this. In that case, let us see elaborately how we can achieve this in our life. In the Bible we read that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ is “Prince of peace” (Isaiah 9:6). He entered into the world as the Prince of peace. Also the God of gods has the name, “God of peace” (Romans 16:20). From this it could be inferred that if we always abide with this God of peace in our heart as well as in our home, His peace would abound in us and lead us.

experience. To grant us this, the Lord Jesus Christ was incarnate on this earth as a Man. Finally, He offered Himself as the living sacrifice and yielded Himself in order to redeem us for Him, by His love on the cross (I John 1:7). I believe that you would have received this experience. Probing into the depth of this divine experience, we should know, “Jesus Christ was bruised for me on the cross; His whole body was scourged for my sins.” Also, “the

with reverence telling, “Lord, I submit myself at Your feet; forgive all the worldly desires, lusts in me and all things related to the world and wash and cleanse me with Your blood. Accept me as Your child. Give me a new life.” Then, according to the verse “the chastisement for our peace was upon Him,” His divine peace would come into us like a smoke. This peace would change our life upside down. This fundamental experience alone would give us the strength to be at peace with others. Hence, my dear sisters, first of all accept this God of peace as the Saviour in your heart. Without this experience, you can never enjoy the peace earned by the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. This is needed

not only for the women but also for all the people in the world. In my life too, I loved the Lord dearly during the days of my youth. Yet I did not accept Him as my Saviour. Since I lacked in Bible reading I was unaware of this. However, one day, when I was longing for my parents’ love in loneliness, the Lord spoke to me. His love filled my heart. Telling myself, “This is a divine experience which I can never get from anywhere else,” I held on to Him firmly. That time divine peace overflowed from me. Hence, my dear young children, this is a divine experience which you need to receive even at this age. You may ask, “Well, it is good that we get divine peace. However is it possible to be at peace with everyone?” When the Lord comes into us fully, He changes all the lacks in our character. About this we read in I John 4:17, “As He is, so are we in this world.” For this to come true in our life, prayer is the most important thing that is needed. As we tarry alone and wait in the presence of the Lord more and more, His presence and brightness caused by it would fill our face and heart. Thus we read about Moses in the Bible. Since he tarried with the Lord for several hours, the people of Israel saw how his face shone. Dear ones, the more we wait in the presence of the Lord in prayer, the

more the darkness in our face and our dark nature would vanish. Anger, jealousy, irritability etc., would be taken away from us. Isn’t this wonderful to us? In the family of a woman, who was called by God, the members created problems and did not talk with one another as a result of which there was absolutely no peace. When the woman was praying one day, the Lord said

Hold on to the Lord to live peacefully with others and to arise and shine as His children. Get filled with the strength of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit Himself will miraculously grant you victory in this and lead you to be at peace with others.

to her, “Daughter, I called you for this purpose. To make peace in your family, show love to your family members and talk to them with love. I will help you.” But the others in her house said, “Why do you want to interfere in this matter. Be quiet.” However the woman wanted to go ahead since the Lord had given her the instruction and proceeded to meet her family members. In short, the Lord went before her and was her rear guard (Isaiah 52:12) and led

everything in a wonderful way. By this, peace and unity flooded into the family. The Lord did this through an ordinary woman. The reason was her obedience and her submission to the will of God. My dear sisters, commit yourself to receive the image of the Lord. Learn to wait each and every minute at His presence, without wasting your time. As I often say, your heart can join Him even while you cook! You can glorify Him by singing songs! You can keep talking to Him! By doing these, your cooking would never be spoiled. I tell this, from my own experience. Thus the God of peace would strengthen you to be at peace with everyone. He will go before you and be a rear guard, will give you wisdom and lead you. Humble yourself and commit yourself to zealously accomplish the will of the Lord. Then the Lord Himself would perfect everything for you (Psalm 138:8). However, never attempt to do this with your own thoughts and strength. It would end in failure. Don’t we read in the Bible how several kings faced defeat when they failed to wait for the Lord’s words and listen to His ways? So, if you want to live a successful life, hold on to the Lord to live peacefully with others and to arise and shine as His children. Get filled with the strength of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit Himself will miraculously grant you victory in this and lead you to be at peace with others. www.jesuscalls.org -February 2018 JESUS CALLS

Nalini and Ruben felt as if they were hit by a huge boulder. They had been proceeding with all the arrangements to settle down in Australia. However as soon as they got into the airport they were stopped by the authorities for the reason that they were holding fake visas and after a long interrogation it was found that they had been cheated by the so called agent. There was no such agent at all and it was found that he had swindled their money. Ruben, since his salary was not sufficient, had decided to go to

Australia, as advised by his friends. The job offer was good - big firm, good salary, accommodation with car etc.,. They disposed of everything and took with them only the essentials. In that case, how to return home? They had got back even the house advance from the owner who had fixed some other tenant for that portion. How to face everyone? What to say? - Both of them sat there in a state of stupor. Children too were upset as they could understand the situation. All of them sat there in the Airport, not knowing what to do. ‘Where to stay in the night? Ask our house owner if we can go back

there?’

She could not bear to see her cheerful children, sitting so quiet.

“Ruben, don’t think that everything is over. Our Lord has proved that even death is not an end. In that case, will this journey come to an end? This journey may have come to an end. But the Lord would create a new journey for you. So, don’t worry. His death has shown us a good way, isn’t it?...’ Pastor’s wife departed with these comforting words.

The youngest son came near him and said, “Daddy, call our pastor and ask him if we could stay in the prayer room behind the

encouraged. Everything seemed to be a dream. As the Pastor’s wife said, Ruben got a job in Dubai and Nalini too got a job in the school. Hence they could go as a family.

“No, it is wrong to ask him when he had already fixed the house for some other person. We’d think of something else....” Nalini wept bitterly covering her face. “Don’t cry and frighten the children. Everybody is watching us...”

“Will it solve our problem if we stay there? What about food? What would we do? Don’t talk without thinking...” “No daddy, he would guide us....” The pastor knew everything about them. So when they called him and explained everything to him, he felt bad for them and invited them to stay there. When they saw him in person, Ruben could not even speak. Overcome with emotions, Nalini began to cry. Pacifying them the pastor brought them fruits and biscuits. He asked them to go to bed and said that they could talk the next morning.

In the Airport they talked about the old happenings and the children were thrilled when they finally got into the plane. When Nalini and Ruben prayed they thanked the Lord saying with gratitude, “Lord, when we were languishing that our life was over, You opened a new way and made our life bloom. Thank You...”The plane took off. “Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth…” (Isaiah 43:19). www.jesuscalls.org -February 2018 JESUS CALLS

‘As one whom his mother comforts, So I will comfort you; And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem." (Isaiah 66:13). My dear ones, this world is full of sufferings. When we are happy thinking, ‘Oh, I am doing well; everything is good’, we see afflictions attacking us quite unexpectedly. At such times we are deeply troubled and wonder, ‘Oh, how to come out of this situation?’ Particularly, we, the women, are unable to bear such situations and we wonder with languish who would help us. However, my dear sisters, read the above promise given by the Lord. A mother is precious to everyone. Nurturing the child since its conception, delivering it, bringing it up and sustaining the child with love, for several more years is a mother’s life. However, we can seek the help of our Lord

JESUS CALLS February 2018 - www.jesuscalls.org

Jesus Christ, who is filled with several more folds of love than the love of such mother and receive comfort from Him. If we worry in vain like the Martha of the Bible, we would earn only sufferings both physically and mentally. How to receive this divine comfort and motherly love that proceeds from the Lord Jesus Christ? Let us see about it.

Jesus - my Mother My dear sisters, first of all we need to have the desire that this Lord Jesus who has the heart of a mother should dwell in our heart and be with us. Today, many women seek first this world, flesh, friends, clothes and adornment, big job, status etc., It is the work of

the devil to show these things as something great and thus make us dwell in the darkness. About this we read in Psalm 143:3, ‘He (the enemy) has made me dwell in darkness’. My dear sisters, particularly my young children, just observe what is sought by your heart - This world of vanity? The deceitful and cunning love of the people of this world? – On what are your eyes fixed? As the Bible says, ‘I will lift up my eyes to the hills; From whence comes my help? (Psalm 121:1), we should look only up to the Lord Jesus, who is the Personification of love and who is able to give us everything. Do you have this experience? If not, you

disappointed. When you are in tears troubled over these things, all these vain things will depart from you. Days would come when you would languish in loneliness and would cry out in pain saying, “Oh, you spoke such loving words to me. I thought I would be so blessed. Now I have lost everything. There is none to show me love....” So, my dear sisters and my young children, learn to look up to the Lord Jesus, who has the comforting heart to comfort you like a mother. Help, benefits and grace would continually come to you only from Him. I am happy to share with you my own experience. Though I was born and brought up in a Christian family, I was unaware of the love of the Lord and the glory of His salvation. However, our Lord, came seeking me with the heart of a mother and revealed His love to me when I was 16 years old. I then held on to Him. He came and dwelt in me. He gave me the divine experience which is mentioned by Apostle Paul thus: ‘it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me’ (Galatians 2:20). I, who had been depending only on my parents considering them to be everything in the whole world, firmly believed from that day that Jesus is my mother and that He is my everything. He perfected everything for me

My dear ones, the next biggest treasure that we get, is the love and comfort of Christ Jesus, who leads us in every matter concerning us. In my life, after I held on to the Lord, I faced so many trials in my married life. I lost my children; monetary problem severely afflicted me; my husband went through lot of dreadful diseases and sufferings because of which we went through the valley of darkness of death. On several occasions I was heartbroken to hear people’s wicked and hurtful words. I lost my only daughter and went through sorrow. Thus, I had to pass through series of agonies and tears one by one. Yet, how would I forget the love of my Lord who was with me and comforted and strengthened me every minute according to the Scriptures, ‘It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes’ (Psalm 119:71). At such times, I clung to the Lord. As the Bible says, He filled me with His perfect peace.

attack you. According to Isaiah

‘You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You’ (Isaiah 26:3) ‘…the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly’ (Romans 16:20). According to these verses, the Lord was with me, gave me

weary when afflictions and trials 40:29, when you hold on to Him at weary times, He will strengthen you and help you. In the early married life, I, who lost my two children, received back two wonderful children from the Lord the divine Mother, by His love. Also, He miraculously removed my financial problems. He did a great thing by making all those who derided me and insulted me to join me in the ministry and be my friends and guides. The loving Lord, who is the Mother, made me get back several folds of blessings for all that I had lost. So, you who are trusting this world and its people, start seeking the love of Jesus who is a matchless mother. Read how beautifully David had talked about the love of a mother in the Book of Psalms. Thus, the mother’s love would not forsake you but would be with you and exalt you.

Divine life of becoming a mother Yes, as the title says, as the love of this Mother fills our heart, the same divine love would flow into us. Once we are filled with such motherly love, even without our knowledge a divine love would fill us when we see others’ tears, sorrows and grief. As a result of this when we pray with burden for www.jesuscalls.org -February 2018 JESUS CALLS

them, the Lord would heed all our prayers and make everything successful for them. He would wonderfully make such people who shed tears to rejoice. This would be amazing to you. He would make us glad and we would wonder, “I am an ordinary person. What a great miracle the Lord has done for them hearing my prayer!’. This is the divine motherly love that comforts others. We read in Romans 5:5 that the Lord Jesus, the Mother, pours out this love through the Holy Spirit. My dear sisters and young children, if this love should be poured into us, you should claim His promise, ‘I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh’ (Joel 2:28) and ask Him. In Luke 11:13 we read that how much more He will give the Holy Spirit to such people! Accordingly, through His Holy Spirit He will fill you with the matchless love of a mother. The love of Jesus, the Mother, would flow out of you even without your knowledge. When the Lord Jesus Christ lived in this world, God had filled Him with this kind of love. With His love, He delivered the man who was in a pitiable state because of his 38 years of sickness and had no one to help, and built his life (John 5:5-9). When the blind Bartimaeus cried to Him, Jesus who heard him, delivered him and gave him sight (Mark 10: 46-52). Don’t we read such miracles in the Bible? The same divine love of mother would flow from you. Do you believe this? That is why many servants of God are filled with this 48

JESUS CALLS February 2018 - www.jesuscalls.org

love and are like divine vessels that comfort people. Even today they live like this. To receive this in your life, first of all, wait at the feet of the Lord today. God will come upon you, according to Isaiah 40:31. As we read in Acts 1:14 and in Acts 2nd chapter, He will fill you with this divine love as His disciples received, and comfort many through you. As I have mentioned and written several times, when I was in sorrow as I had lost my daughter, the Holy Spirit poured into me this divine love. He gave me the burden

that through this the lives of women should be mended, they should be delivered from bondage and be filled with divine grace. Today, just as how He gave me the burden, He has given the same burden to thousands of women to pray for one another through the Esther Prayer Group, Youth Esther Prayer Group, Junior Esther Prayer Group and Couple Esther Prayer Group and is helping them to reveal His love to others. Examine your life! The Lord is waiting to do great and mighty things through you. So, commit your life to the Lord and receive His blessing.
