ur Lord is an Almighty God. He is able to bless us with blessings of heaven above, and blessings of the deep that lies beneath (Genesis 49:25). He has sufficient blessings to satisfy us (Psalm 103:5). The Lord is able to satiate and replenish us (Jeremiah 31:25). By His power, He will fulfill all that are unfulfilled in our life and make us happy. You may say, “I started to build a house. Now I do not have money to complete it. Some hindrance is always there…” “So many problems are always cropping up in the family…” Do not be worried! This month, the Lord will perfect everything for you. Surely, everything will come to pass. Whatever He does will be perfect. All His blessings are in abundance. The Lord will make you live well.

The Lord is willing to give us blessings in abundance. What are the ways to receive them?

GRATEFUL HEART “Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits” (Psalm 103:1, 2).

Yes, as the Psalmist said to his soul, we should praise the Almighty God, bless His holy name, and thank Him for each and everything, without forgetting all His benefits. Then blessings for us will automatically proceed from His hand, throughout the month. Yes, dear ones, before receiving many more benefits from the Lord, we should offer praise and thanks to Him for His mercy and grace shown to us. This is because, His mercy is great. The Bible says that He does good even to the unthankful and the evil (Luke 6:35). If you confess, “Lord, thank You for You are going to do good to me always and give me blessings” His generous and merciful heart will melt. He will do exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or think and make you to live happily (Ephesians 3:20). Once, a little boy went to his grandfather’s house for a long holiday. His grandfather was a wicked man. He used to speak harshly to people and throw abusive words at them. His mind was full of evil. He had earned a bad name from the people of that village. This little boy was unaware of these things. In the daytime, he used to go out and play. In the evening, he would come home and spend time conversing with his grandfather. That gave him great joy. Every morning, when he got up, he used to tell his grandfather, “Grandpa,

you are such a loving person. Everyone respects you a lot.” In the evening, once he returned home, he would hug his grandfather, kiss him and tell him, “Oh, how pleasant you were to everyone today. To how many you did good deed. People love you a lot Grandpa! As the boy continued to say this every day, the grandfather was bewildered by this. He pondered within himself, “Everybody is telling that I am a wicked person, a cruel and an angry man. All of them shun me for this reason. But my grandson is noticing certain good traits in me and is appreciating me. How he honours me and talks highly of me! I should not get a bad name from him. His high opinion about me should not be spoiled. Therefore, I should be a good person before him. I should talk carefully and treat others with respect”. So saying he changed himself into a good person and behaved well, as praised by his grandson.

Yes, dear ones, this is a worldly issue. But our gracious Lord, who truly gives us benefits, is Almighty. His thoughts towards you are peaceful (Jeremiah 29:11). The moment you get up in the morning, instead of grumbling over your needs or criticizing others, when you praise Him whole heartedly thinking of the benefits He has done for you, telling Him, “Lord, You are good. Oh, how many benefits You have done for me”, His heart will melt. Such a heart will bring you much more benefits. It is not only good to praise the Lord but is also pleasant (Psalm 147:1). Apostle Paul has counselled, “…Be thankful” (Colossians 3:15).

The Lord does not always appear before us directly and tell Jesus Calls

us, “Son, I am going to give you this benefit”. He gives benefits through family, friends and other people and even through nature. He helps us by giving strength, support and wisdom. The Lord thus gives us blessings in various ways through different people and builds up our lives. Be thankful for even small matters and say, “The Lord has done this much benefit for me. My husband or wife is taking care of me so wonderfully. My children have made me so happy.” Think of the good works of your parents who have guarded you and supported you thus far and be thankful to them. Then through you the hearts of your family and friends will be happy. They too will thank the Lord for you. The Lord will rejoice over you. This month, the abundant blessing of God and His grace will come upon you.

FORGIVING HEART The Bible says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). “The soul who sins shall die…” (Ezekiel 18:20).

Sinful thoughts, sinful words and sinful deeds bring death. The soul that sins will die in the spiritual realm. Such a soul cannot experience the presence of God. This is God’s law. There are two kinds of wrongs. One is sin and the other is transgression. Sin is some mistake we do unknowingly. Transgression is wrong deed which we do with full knowledge. Wrong deed that had been realized as once forgiven in the past and yet repeating the same wrong deed again is

transgression which cannot be forgiven. But the Lord forgives not only the things that we do without our knowledge but also the things that we do willingly and grants us forgiveness of sin. Once, an employee swindled money from the firm in which he was employed by preparing false accounts. The employer called him to his room and asked him to bring all the records. The employee, who had stolen the money was miserable, lamented within himself, “Today is the last day for me in this office. I am caught red handed. Surely, the employer will throw me out. He must be waiting for me with the dismissal letter. Let me get it and go home” and he stepped into the room. The employer asked him, “Did you do this?” The employee accepted his misdeed and said, “Yes Sir, I did it. I am an offender. It is true that I swindled the money.” The employer looked at him and said, “Since you have admitted your crime. I forgive you.” Taken aback by these words, the employee fell at his feet and said, “Sir, how easily you have forgiven me! I’ve betrayed this company so terribly. I have stolen all the money. But you’ve forgiven me in a moment. You’ve saved me and my family like a God.” But do you know what the employer’s response was? He said, “I’m not a God… Before I started this firm, I was also in the same condition. In my previous company, I was caught red handed in a fraudulent act as I wrote false accounts and took the company’s money. But, a good man forgave me. He transformed my life. That is why I’m blessed in this way. Today you have admitted your crime. If I forgive you today, you will not go in the

same wrong path again. You will be a blessed person. You will also give this blessing to others. Through you, this firm will also go up. So I forgive you.”

A man, who enjoyed forgiveness, gave forgiveness to another man. But, the gracious Lord, who is sinless, became sin for our sake. He took upon Himself our sins and appeared as a sinner (1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 2:2). What a great love! That’s why He is able to forgive our sins. Dear sisters and brothers, the Bible says that not loving our parents or the brothers and sisters in the society is a terrible transgression before God (1 John 3:15). When we do not love our brothers and sisters, our parents and children, it is a transgression on our part. By this, we open the door to the devil’s darkness. Even in this situation, the Lord gives us forgiveness of sin and makes us live. He does not magnify our sins but forgives those sins. Look at the awesome love of God! You too should forgive your brothers, sisters and family members for their trespasses against you. The Lord Jesus has said that we should forgive our brothers of their sins (Matthew 18:21, 22; Luke 17:3,4). The act of forgiving is pleasing to the Lord’s heart. Then He will give you perfect and abundant benefits and bless you.

HEART OF DOING GOOD “If you do well, will you not be accepted?” (Genesis 4:7) “Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so” (Proverbs 3:27). “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin” (James 4:17). Jesus Calls

June 2015  www.jesuscalls.org

The above three verses say that it is a sin when a man does not do good, when he has the power to do so. The Lord places many people in high positions. They hold prestigious posts in the Government, banks and large firms. They are wealthy, renowned and are prominent in politics. But, they do not have the heart to help the poor and the needy. Most of the people in high status expect others to obsequiously bow before them and to call them, “Sir” with all reverence. An officer, holding a high position in the government returned to his native place, after his retirement. That time, he met my father. While talking, he said with remorse, “Brother, I was in a high position in this nation. Until my retirement, I never knew why it was given to me. Now that I am retired, my conscience is pricking me saying, ‘The Lord gave you a high position. But what did you do with that? To whom were you useful? How many people did you help? How many people’s tears were wiped away by you?’ The thought that I was not of any use to anyone, kills me. I’ve wasted all these days. I’ve wasted my power. I am a criminal.”

Yes, dear ones, we become offenders when we fail to do good, despite having the power to do good. When we are comfortable we become sinners if we are not concerned about others’ welfare. We become transgressors when we fail to use our status to wipe away the tears of others. Not praying for others’ welfare and for their tears to be wiped away, is a sin (1 Samuel 12:23). We may not murder anyone; we may not steal.

But when we fail to help others and when we fail to pray for others, it becomes a sin for us. “He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities” (Psalm 103:10).

The Lord has not dealt with us according to our sins and iniquities. Instead of punishing us, He has compassion on us. He forgives our sins and iniquities in order that we are not destroyed by them and He makes us live. Let us whole-heartedly praise the Lord, who created us and who sustains us by giving us daily bread. Let us be thankful to our parents, brothers, sisters, and relatives who love us, take care of us and help us. With the help of the Lord, let us whole-heartedly forgive all those who wronged and sinned

against us. Let us readily help the needy as much as possible, without denying. When He rejoices over us, He will come and dwell in our home. Then all the lacks and wants in our physical body, personal life and in the family life will be removed. The reproaches laid on us by others will be removed completely. Prosperity will overflow in our life. The Lord will give us this perfect blessing.

Prayer Loving Lord, my heavenly Father, many are the benefits that You have done for me. If You consider my iniquities, they would be countless like the sand of the sea. But, You have not considered them and have forgiven me. Millions of thanks for your grace for accepting me and calling me, My son (daughter). I fall at Your

feet and plead to You to forgive my iniquities. Forgive me of the sins of not doing good to others, not properly taking care of my dear ones and not praying for others. Please remove the darkness that engulfs me because of these. I plead to You to forgive me and fill me with Your blessedness in my life. Give me a heart to love others and to take care of them. Thank You for increasing Your grace in my life. Let Your life enter into me. Let this month be a month of blessings and peace to me. Let me be able to feel Your presence and thereby experience joy throughout this month. Help me graciously to receive added benefits and to rejoice in thanking You. Help me to receive the blessings that You have for me, in hundredfold. I offer this prayer in the name of Jesus. Amen.

My precious friend in the Lord, May the Lord comfort your heart with His grace and presence even this month! ‘In the multitudes of our anxieties’, the Lord ‘extends peace to us like a river’. He comforts us, strengthens us and exalts us (Psalm 94:19; Isaiah 66:13). This month you will realize this experience.

'…I will build you and not pull you down, and I will plant you and not pluck you up…’ (Jeremiah 42:10). According to this verse, the

Lord will rebuild and restore the dilapidated and dreary areas in your life this month. He will grant you perfect joy. Our hearts are shattered by the news of the massive destruction in the neighbouring country Nepal. Nearly seven thousand people have lost their lives in this earthquake.

Several buildings have been destroyed. Even pregnant women were victimized. A brother’s duty is to help in adversity (Proverbs 17:17). So, we are sending a team from our end to help the affected Jesus Calls

brothers and sisters in Nepal and comfort them. Pray that the Lord will comfort those in Nepal who have suffered the loss of their family, relatives and friends. We are greatly troubled when the world is devastated by natural disasters and

by human beings. Yet the word of God, “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." (John 16:33) gives us hope. He alone is our hope!

Prayer Tower

Testimonial family

By the grace of God, dear mother Stella Dhinakaran inaugurated the 74 th Prayer Tower in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh on May 7th and the 75th Prayer Tower in Panchkula, Haryana on May 8th. Do not forget to pray that these Prayer Towers should help the people in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana to taste the love of Jesus.

Evangeline and I will be completing 26 years of our wedded life on 2nd June 2015. I praise the Lord whole heartedly for guiding us as a family all these years. The Lord gave Evangeline as a comfort to me and my parents when we were languishing in agony over the loss of my precious sister Angel. Not only that, He is using her mightily in the ministry, for His glory. He has blessed us with three dear children. I offer praises to the Lord for my wife who sacrificially and cheerfully fulfils her duties as the woman of the family, without murmuring, despite the many occasions where we have to remain separated from each other and our children for several days, for the sake of ministry.

Initiatives are being taken to establish new ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Towers in Gajuwaka (Visakhapatnam), Kadapa, Tirupati and Vijayanagar of Andhra Pradesh. Many Prayer Towers have to be expanded. Pray fervently for these needs to be met by the Lord.

Camp Prayer Tower The ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Towers have been set up in various cities, in accordance to the vision given by the Lord. Identifying the areas where people are waiting for the miraculous touch and comfort of the Lord, through the Prayer Tower, we took efforts to launch Camp Prayer Towers there. Accordingly, Camp Prayer Towers were held in 102 places in different states all over India from May 1st to 3rd. Prayer warriors prayed for the people who visited these camps on all the three days, from 10 AM to 6 PM. Casting their burdens at the feet of the Lord, the people went back rejoicing. Many people, willingly opened their places for these Camps. Many volunteered their services. The Lord will not forget their work and the labor of love and will reward them richly (Hebrews 6:10).

Our joy knows no bound when divided families are reunited by the word of God revealed through us and by our prayers. Remember our family in your prayers so that we will shine more for the glory of the Lord.

Prayer Meetings God willing, we have planned to conduct one day fasting prayer on June 21st in all the ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Towers, all over India. This will be held from 11 AM to 6 PM. I will be sharing God’s message in the meeting held in Vanagaram, Chennai and will offer prayers for the participants. The video of my message can be viewed in other Prayer Towers also. Prayers will be offered in the respective Prayer Towers. I kindly invite you to attend the Jesus Calls fasting prayer to be held in your respective area, wait Jesus Calls

Dhinakaran Road, Chennai – 600 028 or by e-mail to paul@ jesuscalls.org. I will offer special prayers for those prayer requests.

Special prayers will be offered by us for the participants. Please inform the details of these meetings to your friends and relatives in Singapore and help them be blessed. It is highly essential that the prophetic and healing words of the Lord are taken to millions of people. I request you to stand with us in this ministry, with prayers according to the leading of the Lord in your heart.

Holy Land Tour Last month, the Lord helped us to take several teams on a Holy Land Tour to Jordan, Israel and Egypt. Arrangements were made for experienced tourist Guides to explain about the places of Biblical importance. Also, we had arranged for all the teams to visit the Israel Prayer Tower and offer prayers. It was a great joy for us to meet all the participants individually. We thank the Lord for helping us to complete this tour successfully. Even now I consider it a privilege to write this letter to you from the Israel Prayer Tower. I thank

the Almighty God with all my heart for this. We are organizing the next Holy Land Tour, this October. Pray that God should bless the efforts taken in this direction. I warmly invite you to take part in this tour. Encourage your friends and relatives to participate in this October tour.

You may extend your help for this service also. Rs.500/- is needed to provide a school kit for a child. I encourage you to cheerfully give your offering to this service of removing illiteracy from the poor children.

The Lord should fulfil His will in the lives of the new students who will be joining the Karunya University. Pray that the Lord’s hand should miraculously work in the admissions for Post Graduate courses in Technology and Management studies (M.Tech., and M.B.A.)

Prayer Academy The Lord has given me the vision to set up an institute to provide training for intercession. By this, we are planning to train prayer warriors, who will be able to provide comfort and healing to the disheartened, and the sick and thus restore them.

e are residing in Sholingur of Vellore District. We got married in 2009 and my wife conceived in 2010. Problems cropped up in our family when she was carrying the child. Eventually we had to step out of the house, when she was 8 months pregnant. We struggled a lot as we could not find a house for rent. My wife could not have proper food and we did not have even a plate to have food. The family problem drove us to a forlorn state. Despite that terrible situation, somehow we could regularly watch the ‘Jesus Calls’ television programme telecast in the Raj TV. Since the programmes were of much comfort to us and gave us hope, we noted down the address of the ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Tower flashed on the TV and decided to visit it for prayers. Accordingly, as a family, we made it a habit to come to the Prayer Towers in Rajaji Road and in Dr. D.G.S. Dhinakaran Road, (Chennai) once a month and get

Dear partners, Every day, through these television programmes, the Lord’s comforting word is sent to countless number of people who are languishing without hope. These programmes are telecast purely by the support extended by you, our partner. Your help carries the life giving words of the Lord to unknown families that suffer with no support and makes them live well. As a token of their gratitude to the Lord for the blessings that He graciously gives them, many support this TV ministry, individually and as a family. We invite you too to support the ‘Jesus Calls’ television ministry, even this month. You may sponsor a programme on your birthday or wedding anniversary or any other special day of your life.

prayers for our blessing. When my wife Amala’s delivery time was nearing, the doctors advised for a Sonography. Seeing the report, the doctors said that there was every chance for the child to die and that they would be able to save only the mother. Saying so they referred us to another hospital. The doctors there too confirmed the report. Yet, my daughter was born healthy, by the grace of God. On our daughter’s first birthday, we came to the Prayer Tower in Rajaji Road, Chennai, received prayer support for her and celebrated birthday with the prayer warriors. Without the basic needs of life, our daily living was a big battle. Our child was born in this situation. So, we were forced to feed a little one also. We, who have been managing as husband and wife, with mutual understanding about our difficulties, had to shoulder additional responsibilities as parents. We were greatly worried that our child also would suffer with us. In February 2012, on a Sunday night, we were watching the Raj TV programme. That time, during the prayer Dr. Paul Dhinakaran called out my name and said, “Jesus, let dear son by name Moses live well” He further said, “A young man by name Moses is crying, thinking of his future. Moses, the Lord changes your life.” I wrote down those words in my diary. I started claiming this and prayed every day that the Lord should fulfil His Words uttered through His servant. The ‘Jesus Calls’ television programme and the Prayer Tower alone sustained us and helped us not to lose hope in life. Until then I had no permanent job. After dear Bro. Paul Dhinakaran prayed in that programme, I was stabilized in my job and the Lord helped me to buy a cycle. After that in 2013, I bought a motor bike. Now, the Lord is feeding us, who once struggled to have even one time meal, to our heart’s content. We have bought a refrigerator for our use. Not only that, when everybody was telling that it would take nearly 20 years to get a promotion in the job, I got the promotion last year. Now we have two children namely Nishalini and Samuel.

Family Message

The Bible says,

...Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).

eloved, the Lord is greatly concerned about you. The Lord is concerned about your personal and family life as well. He is concerned that your present life and future too should be made good. Yes, He does care for you. So do not be worried.

Our Lord not only cares for us, but hears our prayers and also answers them. That is why Peter the Apostle gives us a word of advice to cast our burden on the Lord. As the Lord Himself cares for us and takes away our burden and sorrows we need not worry at all. Indeed how blessed we are! The Lord lovingly calls us to Himself as given in the verse, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Let us meditate as to how the Lord would take care of us casting away our burdens and sorrows during this month.

Jesus Calls

God who hears “But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer” (Psalm 66:19). The Bible says that the Lord hears our prayer (Psalm 65:2). The psalmist David was sure that the Lord was hearing his prayers. Yes, He will never ignore our prayers and petitions that we offer unto Him because Jesus has promised in His Word that He will not cast out those who come to Him (John 6:37). So, let us offer our petitions unto Him in faith. Once two friends in an office were talking over lunch. The first one said, “My wife talks a lot about herself.” The other one jokingly said, “My wife too talks a lot but I do not listen to her at all. She does not know that I do not listen to her talk at all.”

Beloved, people may not pay heed to us. Even close relatives or friends may not show interest in listening to what we say; our desires maybe ignored but, the Lord keenly listens to our prayers. He will never turn away His face from us nor hide His face (Psalm 22:24). We can pour our anxiety, heart’s desires at His feet whenever we want because He is near us (Psalm 145:18). In the Bible, we read that Hannah poured her soul in the presence of the Lord (1 Samuel 1:15). The Lord heard the cries of her heart. Even today, the Lord is with us in all our circumstances. He cares for us. He will never forsake us (Deut. 31:6). When you call unto Him, He will surely answer you. I would like to point out to an incident in the Bible. Once a multi-

tude of people surrounded Lord Jesus and a man came, knelt down at His feet and said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit. And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. Often it has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. So, I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not. But, if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” Jesus rebuked the devil and it came out of him with a loud voice. The boy was completely healed that very instant (Mark 9:17-22). May be you too are treading a similar path of suffering because of your children or you yourself may be like the lad tormented by an evil spirit or with weaknesses. The Lord who delivered the boy from the mute spirit is with you. Surrender yourself to the Lord and cry out saying, “Lord, heal my son!” or “Lord, heal me!” The Lord will deliver you and your dear ones from the clutches of the devil because for this purpose He was manifested in this world, to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). Beloved, do not be disheartened because the Lord has crushed Satan’s head and has destroyed the powers of darkness. Here I present to you the testimony of Dr. Vimala Das of Raipur from the Jesus Calls Prayer Festival. I have 5 sisters and a brother and our family was financially lagging behind. My mother was a heart patient and my father was struck with paralysis. Thereafter I had to shoulder all the family responsibilities. We suffered much as we were physically and Jesus Calls

financially (inadequate) backward. My brother and sisters were studying while I was working as a teacher in a school. Apart from going to school, I would earn money by stitching and educated them. All of a sudden, my elder sister’s husband expired and I had to shoulder the responsibility of caring for her family too. Despite the inadequate financial situation, I never failed to give tithes to Jesus Calls Ministries regularly. It is because of this reason that the Lord has blessed us greatly and we did not have any lacks. When the ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Tower was started in Raipur I served as an Ambassador. Thereby the Lord graciously blessed me to complete Doctorate (Ph.D.,) From the year 2007, I suffered a lot with arthritis for 3 years that I had great difficulty in walking. I used to go to school with the help of somebody and at school, I had to hold onto the table or the walls to walk. In 2010, there was ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Festival held in Raipur. Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran was sharing the Word of God and prayed specially for people with arthritis to be healed. I joined her in prayer with faith and believed for my healing. The Lord honoured my faith and healed me. While going back I did not take anyone’s help and walked home by myself. The next day my legs felt so light that I got down from the bed and walked without any help. I thank the Lord for all

His goodness in my life and give Him all the glory.

Beloved, the Lord who was concerned about the dear sister is also concerned about you. He will send the Holy Spirit to help in our weaknesses and to make intercession for us (Romans 8:26). He will heal you of all the diseases and weakness that the enemy might have brought upon you. He will drive away the evil spirits from your life and you shall be delivered and healed, walking in the Light. There shall be no more darkness and you shall experience the deliverance provided graciously by our Lord.

He removes sorrow “Anxiety weighs down the heart.” (Proverbs 12:25). The human heart is too weak to bear anxiety and sorrow. Worries not only oppress the heart but also keep it away from doing any work. Once when I was travelling with my husband, he pointed out to the words written on the cockpit door, “Flying is a serious profession. Do not carry your worries beyond this point.”

The psalmist David cries to the Lord remembering his sin: “For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.” (Psalm 38:4). “For innumerable evils have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head; therefore my heart fails me.” (Psalm 40:12). Our whole body is affected when we are enslaved to sin. The sense of guilt becomes too heavy

to bear. Don’t we get depressed when we face unexpected disappointments and failures? Don’t we brood over it always and become broken? Worldly people seek many ways to drown their sorrows and heartbreak. A young girl fell in love with a boy. She wished to make him her life partner and got engaged to him. The wedding date was fixed. She was eagerly anticipating the D-day and had made all the arrangements. She invited all her relatives and friends. Just a week before the wedding the groom to-be told her, “I do not love you anymore. This marriage will not happen!” It was a big blow to the young girl and shattered her heart. With a heavy heart she had to inform everyone whom she had invited that the wedding had been called off. She arranged a banquet on the same day that the wedding was to take place. She invited her friends and relatives to the banquet. She did not want to spend her days shedding tears over the mishap. She dressed herself as a bride and took part in the banquet with her friends and relatives. She did not allow herself to be depressed in sorrow but had a great time. She felt that a great burden had been lifted off from her heart. She said, “I did not want to shed tears over the mishap that ruined my future but decided to get up and move on.”

Beloved, the young girl arranged for a banquet to overcome her heartbreak, to forget her disappointment and failure. This is a human effort. Beloved we have a place to unwind our burdens in times of heartbreak. We need not Jesus Calls

carry our worries and burdens. We need not wander around carrying our burden of sin. Let us lay our burdens at the feet of our Lord. “Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved” (Psalm 55:22) Our Lord Jesus Christ has finished carrying all our burdens and sorrows on the cross. He has granted us grace to live a victorious life as He endured our sufferings. The Lord will cleanse us from all unrighteousness when we repent for our sins (1 John 1:9). The Bible says, “Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies” (Psalm 103:3,4). “The LORD will wait, that He may be gracious to you… that He may have mercy on you.” (Isaiah 30:18). Yes, the Lord will wait that He may have mercy on you. He will do justice to us and comfort us. So be courageous. Because He cares for you lay all your burdens at His feet. It is only the Lord Jesus Christ who can give us hope for our future. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11) Our Lord shall perfect everything beautifully for you. He is your only hope and your future. So pour your worries and the fears of future at the feet of the Lord who is perfectly taking care of you. Do not live in anxiety wondering, “Who will carry my burdens?” Lord alone

can remove your sorrows and take charge of your future.

Removes your lack The psalmist David says, “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1) Apostle Paul says, “My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19) Do you lament saying, “I have many lacks in my life?” Are you grieving after losing the strong pillar of the family? Are you anticipating as to when would the lacks in your children’s lives, personal life and in your business come to an end? Do not be disheartened. Our God shall satisfy all the lacks in your life. The Lord solved the debt problem in the prophet’s son’s lives by Elisha (2 Kings 4:1-7). Jesus came to the house of Mary and Martha when they lost their dear brother Lazarus. The Lord was troubled in spirit and came to the tomb of Lazarus. He asked the stone at the entrance of the tomb to be taken away. Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to Him, “Lord by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead for four days”. Jesus said to her, “…if you would believe you would see the glory of God”. Then they took away the stone. After offering a word of prayer to the Father, Jesus said with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” Lazarus who was dead came out alive. His hands and feet were bound with grave clothes; his face was wrapped in grave cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him and let him go.” Yes,

Lazarus was raised back to life. Lazarus who had been dead and buried for four days was given back to Martha and Mary. The loss of their brother was removed and joy filled the family. (John 11 chapter). Beloved, the Lord is all powerful to resurrect your dead circumstances in your life when you say, “Hereafter, nothing can be done.”The Lord says, “I am the resurrection and life.”(John 11:25) The Lord further says, “I came to give life.” (John 10:10) Whatever you had lost, it shall be restored to you. You shall receive life in your dead circumstance and shine brightly for God. In the Bible, 1 Samuel 30 th chapter, we read about an incident that happened in the life of David. The Amalekites had invaded the South and Ziklag, attacked Ziklag and burned it with fire. They had taken captive the women and those who were there, from small to great. David and his men raised their voices and wept until they had no more strength to weep. All the people spoke of stoning David. In that hard situation, he did not allow himself to be depressed in sorrow. He wept in the presence of the Lord and strengthened himself in the Lord. He then waged a war with the Amalekites. David recovered everything that the Amalekites had taken captive, small or great, sons or daughters. Beloved, you shall not lose anything anymore. Lay your inadequacies at the feet of the Lord Jesus. He cares for you. He will enable you to recover everything you had lost. He will restore your joy, peace,

I’m working as a teacher. Earlier I was working for a salary of 12,000/-. That salary was not sufficient for me. One day I came to know through Jesus Calls magazine that people could give donations towards the Israel Prayer Tower. I then made a vow and prayed, “Lord, if You hiked my salary to 20,000, I would donate an amount to the Israel Prayer Tower.” Within 2 months, I read about the salary increase of teachers in the Newspaper. I asked the Lord Rs. 20,000 as salary but got Rs. 30,000. I fulfilled my vow by making the donation to the Israel Prayer Tower in my son’s name. I am very happy now.

Beloved, the Lord who was concerned about this dear Sis. Nirmala, is also concerned about you. You need not carry your burdens and worries. Lay all your burdens at His feet. The Lord will hear your prayer; He will heal your diseases, take away your worries and perfect your lacks. The Lord will take the responsibility of your family and guide you. He will deliver you from darkness. He will make you exuberant. 

Today, women are on par with men and are achieving a lot in many fields. In many ways, the government, media and voluntary organizations etc., play a major role in the development of women.

Mr. Merwin Alexander, Postmaster General, participated in this programme and elaborated on the various savings schemes. On behalf of Dr. Paul Dhinakaran (Founder of Seesha), Dr. Jeyakumar Daniel (Executive Director of Seesha), stressed upon the importance of savings to the women who were registered in these schemes. One lakh women from all over India, who have been benefitted by Seesha, will be joining this Indian Postal Department Savings Scheme. As a first step, accounts were opened for 300 women and pass books were issued to them.

SEESHA WHO TAUGHT US ABOUT SAVINGS Trained in the Seesha Tailoring Centre, I am currently doing tailoring business. Like me, women from many poor families are given vocational trainings by Seesha, for the financial empowerment. Along with this, the Seesha is also taking us in the path of progress through its various trainings on health and hygiene, child development etc., Generally we know only about post, Money order and stamp in the Postal department and Seesha has now created an awareness in us by explaining about the various savings and insurance schemes of the Indian Postal department. We have now begun to spend thriftily and save money. We shall be ever grateful to Seesha that has created a prosperous future for women like me. - R. EZHIL ARASI, Chennai. Jesus Calls

Testimony of a Prayer Warrior

n 2004 I was working in the marketing department of a big private concern. I had all the bad habits – from smoking to everything else. I never considered them to be wrong. I thought I was enjoying life. My wife could not accept my conduct and suffered without any peace. She began to visit the ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Tower in the then Greenways Road, (Currently Dr. D.G.S. Dhinakaran Road) in order to get peace. I too have taken her there many times since I felt that it was better that she got peace from somewhere since I was spoiling it. Yet, I had no conviction of sins. However, in that state, I was always surprised to see people, who were financially poor coming for prayers in the Prayer Tower and going back with joy. Thus, I was taking my wife to the Prayer Tower for more than two years. In 2006, my father was affected with diabetes and was admitted in the hospital. Since the treatment was not successful, the doctors advised for amputation of his both legs.

That time, late Bro. D.G.S. Dhinakaran had come to the church which was close by to our house. We did not have the habit of going to the church. Yet, hearing his voice over the loudspeaker, I stood outside the church and listened to his message. I knew about brother Dhinakaran since I was taking my wife to the Prayer Tower quite often. After the message he said, “Here, a brother is worried about severe damage to Jesus Calls



the legs. The Lord heals those legs”. I was amazed and wondered “It is me, who is worried about my father. Is he talking about this?” Then I went to the hospital to see my father and a surprising news was waiting for me. The doctors said, “We decided to amputate his legs after testing him twice. But, now the blood circulation in your father’s legs is regular. So there is no need to remove his legs.” That moment I understood the healing power of the Lord. We took him back home immediately. Soon after this I visited the ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Tower and expressed my desire to serve there for two hours every day and requested them to give me a job. The brothers there inquired of me. I stayed with them and started helping them in a small way. I was addicted to smoking for more than 24 years. I cried to the Lord saying, “Lord, from now on, I am going to do ministry for You. Deliver me from this habit.” And in one day this bad habit left me with no trace, much to the amazement of everyone, especially my close friend. Gradually I came into the Lord. After that I was given training to pray for others. The Lord spoke to me about tithing and giving one tenth of the 24 hours in a day, for Him. Accordingly I serve as a voluntary prayer warrior in the ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Tower for several hours.

The Lord has blessed me, who is doing ministry for Him. Till I got involved with the Jesus Calls ministry, I had not completed my degree. But after that the Lord helped me to complete my higher grade. Then I got a good job with three times salary of what I was getting earlier. I bought a house of my own. For 17 years, since I started working, I had no vehicle of my own. Now, my wife and I have two wheelers. My wife was going to work to enhance our family income. In due course, she got a teacher’s job for a good salary in a nearby school. In the initial days of buying a house, my friends said, “Why, this house is far away from the city and this place is like a forest. How can he live here?” But now, bypass road has been laid and hence the area in which we reside has developed rapidly. I have paid off most of the house loan and my debt burden has lessened. The Lord has also blessed my children’s lives. My eldest daughter Sakthi Priya stood district first in her 10th public exam. God gave her excellent marks in her +2 and helped her to join B.Arch. Nobody could believe this since they had felt that lot of money would be needed for that. But, my daughter got the admission for the fees allotted by the government. The Lord has helped my second daughter Niranjini to excel in sports. Now she is doing her first year degree course. She is a hockey player. Nobody in our family has been in this field. The Lord has given her a special skill. Since my both children are Young Partners, the Lord is exalting them. The Lord is blessing us just as how a father does everything for his son, with concern. None of these things could be done by man. It is a wonderful blessing to have Him do everything that was preordained by Him. We remain grateful to the Lord who blesses us and the Jesus Calls ministry that opens the way for that. - S. Timothy Nacchinarkiniyan, Chennai.

Honb’le Shri A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the former President of India, is a world renowned scientist. He is very fond of little children. When he was the President, he was once conversing with some little children. A little boy queried him suddenly, “President, do you believe that there is a God?” President Kalam, who was taken aback by such a question from the children, paused for a while and gently replied, “When seeing the space, the sun, the moon and the stars, I firmly believe that there is a God, who has created all these” The little boy was immensely satisfied. Yes, the God of gods, not only created the world but also upholds all things by the word of His power (Hebrews 1:3). The Almighty God, who created the whole universe and is upholding it, is waiting to sustain and support us. Jesus Calls

Let us meditate on certain characteristics of this God of gods:

Protector of men Job, the man of God, addresses the God of gods, ‘O, Watcher of men…’ (Job 7:20). It is a pleasure to God to save us, who are His creation. He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust (Matthew 5:45). He is kind to the unthankful and evil (Luke 6:35). That’s why David calls Him, ‘O You who hear prayer, to You all flesh will come’ (Psalm 65:2). During World War II, my father was serving in the British Army. That time, the army descended on Italy and captured it in a lightning speed. After that, it stealthily entered into Germany at night till 12 O’ Clock. When they reached a specific spot, the captain allowed the army personnel to take rest for a while. Each solider dug a trench, put up a tent over that and lay down to rest. My father too went into the trench and laid down. When morning dawned, he had a great shock awaiting him. His tent was completely covered by dense snow. He could not even breathe properly. Somehow he managed to survive by breathing the air that came through a small crack in the corner of the hard ice. Yet, he was deeply troubled and was thinking within himself, “Who’s going to find me? The snow has completely hidden me from others’ view. I cannot see my only son and my wife any more.” As he was lamenting, the thought of God came to his mind. He began to cry to Him. The whole army camp went in search of him. Everybody was perturbed! At that time, God gave

him an idea. He took up the rifle that was beside him and began to poke at the ice with the butt of the rifle. A soldier, who was passing by that side, shouted with surprise, “There is some movement only over here.” All the other soldiers rushed to his side and they saved my father alive.

Dearly beloved, we too pass through such difficult situations. But, even at that time, when we cry to the Lord with faith, “There is a God, who saves me. He rewards those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6), He will be very near to us and save us since He is the ‘Watcher of men’

One God, One Father ‘For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus’ (1 Timothy 2:5). There was a famous and reputed Chief Minister in a particular state. He was a treasure house of wisdom. So people fondly called him, “Perarignar” (Great intellect). He would always mention, “One race; one God.” “Yes, everybody in the world belongs to only one race – the human race. So the whole human race has only one God” – Thus he explained his statement. This is what is described in the Bible too,

"And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings” (Acts 17:26). In the beginning, God created Adam and Eve. He placed them in the Garden of Eden. That time the whole earth had one language and Jesus Calls



June 2015  www.jesuscalls.org

one speech (Genesis 11:1). But as days went by, it was divided into various other languages. Yet, though human race speaks different languages, there is only one God for the entire mankind. Once, when my friend had been to Germany, he attended the Sunday service in a particular church there. Since the whole service was conducted in Germany, he could not understand anything. Finally, when he came out after the service, the pastor shook hands with everyone and was inquiring of their welfare. When my friend’s turn came, the pastor shook his hands and greeted him in German. My friend replied in English. Both of them could not understand each other. That time, my friend began to sing in Tamil, a world renowned song on God’s love which was originally composed in German. The German pastor was thrilled to hear it and he too immediately joined him in singing that song in German. Both their hearts were filled with God’s love and they shed tears of joy. Their inhibition over the difference in language vanished. Both hugged each other and rejoiced!

Yes, how true is the truth, ‘One race; one God”! Though we speak different languages, hasn’t God’s love united us as one family? “Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us?” (Malachi 2:10) ‘…one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all’ (Ephesians 4:6). Accordingly, it was God, who created all of us and sent us to this world. Hence, He is a Father to all of us. He is a true Father, who loves us.

We, as Indians, call Mahatma Gandhi as ‘The father of our nation.’ The reason is the tremendous love he had for the people of India. He invited all those who wrote down the constitutions of India and said, “Through this, every drop of tear from every Indian should be wiped off”

Our heavenly Father too has such love for us. The Bible portrays this thus: “…And the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth” (Isaiah 25:8). Yes, Mahatma Gandhi, the ‘Father of our nation’ was concerned about each and every Indian. But God is concerned that the tears of all the people of the whole world should be wiped away.

One Mediator

mediator needed? When two groups of people fight against each other, a mediator is needed to reconcile and reunite them. Similarly, it is a privilege that Jesus Christ, intercedes for us as the Mediator between us and the heavenly Father, who loves us. Dear ones, is there any need for a recommendation or for a mediator to meet our God, whom we call as our Father? Let me explain this:

God is high above humankind First of all, when we look at the appearance of God, He Himself says, ‘"Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool” (Isaiah 66:1; Acts 7:49). He fills heaven and earth (Jeremiah 23:24). Hence, don’t we, as humble and simple human beings, certainly need a mediator to meet God whose appearance is magnificent and reaching the heaven?

Invisible God Secondly, God is invisible (Colossians 1:15; 1 Timothy 1:17; 11:27). The Bible describes Him thus: He cannot be seen; He has not been seen by anyone; He dwells in unapproachable light (1 Timothy 6:16). How can we meet Him, the invisible God, who dwells in unapproachable light without a mediator?

Unapproachable God “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time…” (1 Timothy 2:5,6). Yes, there is only one Mediator between God and men. To tell about the lacks and wants in life to our heavenly Father, who loves us and to pray and intercede for us, we need a Mediator. When is a

Thirdly, Job, a man of God, lost all his wealth and possessions in merely a day. His ten children also met with a pitiable end. His heart was broken. That time he lamented, “Oh, that I knew where I might find Him,That I might come to His seat! I would present my case before Him, And fill my mouth with arguments. Oh, that one might plead for a man with God, as the mediator!” (Job 9:32,33, 16:21; 23:3,4). Jesus Calls

Dearly beloved, like Job in whose life terrible things happened, when grief constricts us, when we lose our peace absolutely and when a situation arises in which we are unable to pray at all don’t we need a mediator to plead and intercede to God for us? That’s why the Bible says, “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men…” Two thousand years ago, our God, who cannot be seen, came down to this earth in the form of man, in order that everybody could see Him and was manifested in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16). He became our Mediator. He took upon Himself all our sufferings. How was He, when He was in this world? He was hungry (Mark 11:12). He languished with thirst (John 4:68). He and His disciples lived by the food and clothing provided by a few women (Luke 8:1-3). He had nowhere to lay His head (Luke 9:58). Though He was rich, yet for our sakes He became poor, that through His poverty we might become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). Not only that, He decided to bring an end to sin that torments mankind. So He, who knew no sin became sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21). He bore our sins, transgressions, and iniquities in His own body on the cross (1 Peter 2:24). He bore all the curses that would come upon us in this world, and became a curse for us (Galatians 3:13). He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses (Matthew 8:17). He bore our griefs and carried our sorrows (Isaiah 53:4). He tasted the bitter death, for each one of us (Hebrews 2:9). He bore all these sufferings in order to become a Mediator for us.

Several years back, there was a district collector in a particular district. The people of that district loved him dearly. Once, there was a clash between two communities which resulted in violence and bloodshed. When he tried to bring peace between them, they firmly said with anger, “We will not let go without blood for blood and life for life.” The Collector replied, “All you need is blood and life. Cut me to pieces till your anger is quelled. Let my blood be shed. Let my life go out of me. Let peace come upon this district.” These words melted the people’s hearts and they dropped down all their weapons and went back. Peace pervaded that place.

God of gods also did likewise. On one side, the sufferings, difficulties and sorrows of the world suppress us and tell us, “Go and hang yourself. Commit suicide…” On the other side, devil, our enemy whispers in our ears, “Why do you live? Run away and end your life.” That’s why God came down to the earth in the name of Jesus. He gave Himself for us telling, “Let My body be broken for the sake of My children; let My blood be shed. Let there be wounds in My body. Let My children live” (Galatians 2:20). He, who loves us and gave Himself for us, for our sake, is our Mediator. He sympathizes with us

and intercedes for us in heaven. (Hebrews 7:25; 1 John 2:1). Not only that, you need not worry as to how to seek the invisible God. He says, “If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. You will receive, that your joy may be full” (John 14:14; 16:24). For this purpose, He has become the Mediator between us and God. He, the Mediator, is able to save us to the uttermost (Hebrews 7:25). He is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy (Jude 24). Accept Him in your heart. He will be the perfect Mediator for you in every way. 

Prior to that, as a family, we sponsored a ‘Jesus Calls’ television programme, on the occasion of my sister’s birthday. That time we had requested Uncle Paul Dhinakaran to pray for my studies. He too prayed that I should score excellent marks. Accordingly, the Lord gave me good health and wisdom and made me write the exam well. I scored good marks in my Intermediate and am now doing MBBS.

Here are the experiences of a few people who have received blessings from the Lord through the Prayer Towers.

○

God given child

○

I had no child even after 4 years of married life and was longing to have a child. From 2013, I started visiting the ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Tower in Rajaji Road, Chennai. I regularly attended the Tuesday fasting prayer conducted here and prayed for the gift of a child. The Prayer Warriors too prayed for me. In 2014, the Lord blessed me with a boy baby. Praise be to Him.

I needed a house of my own. So every week I came to the ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Tower in Rajaji Road, Chennai and prayed for that. I also attended the Tuesday fasting prayer held there and was pleading to the Lord for this. The Lord met my need. Now we have bought a new house and are living there. Also, I have now got a job. I thank the Lord for that.

Double blessings

3 years. We decided to shift there after a portion of it was cemented. That time I came to the ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Tower at Vyara and gave my prayer request. The prayer warriors prayed fervently that my financial needs should be met. Hearing the prayer, the Lord had compassion on us. We again started the work and the Lord Himself graciously met all our needs. The construction was over without any hurdle. Now it is complete. I offer praises to the Lord. - Jyotshna S.Gamit, Vyara, Gujarat.

And He said, “My presence will go with

you, and I will give you rest”

(Exodus 33:14). hese are the comforting words spoken by the Lord to Moses, who in obedience to the Lord’s command, was leading the Israelites from the bondage of Egypt to Canaan, the land of milk and honey, when he pleaded to the Lord, “Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.”

The assured presence of the Lord that led Moses shall go before you too! Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it, whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left (Isaiah 30:21). The Lord Himself shall be your way, the truth and the life (John 14:6). He will hold your hand and lead you.

Let us meditate briefly on how the Lord, who led the Israelites in the wilderness, will be with us and lead us in our life on this earth:

(2 Chronicles 14:13), since the Lord Himself stood before them and defeated the enemies. Jacob too, when he was distressed by his brother, pleaded to the Lord saying, “I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which You have shown Your servant; for I crossed over this Jordan with my staff, and now I have become two companies. I fear my brother Esau. Yet I hold on to You. I will not let You go unless You bless me!” Hence, the Lord blessed him. He made Esau get reconciled with him peacefully (Genesis 32:10,26,29).

When, Zerah the Ethiopian came out against Asa with an army of a million men and three hundred chariots, his army was mightier than that of Asa. And Asa cried out to the LORD his God, and said, “LORD, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O LORD our God…” (2 Chronicles 14:11). Thus he depended only on the Lord, trusted Him and clung to Him. Then the enemies were broken before the LORD and His army

King David says,

Whoever gives importance in seeking Him and also loves Him, unto such dwelling place will the Lord Jesus come with His Father. He says, “My Father and I will come and dwell” (John 14:23). Dear sister, has your home become His dwelling place? If there are deeds in your life or thoughts that are not pleasing to the Lord, cast them away today itself. Then He will lead you in His way. He will change your dwelling place to be holy for Him to dwell. He will be your help in everything.

In what kind of places does He dwell?

Saul and Jonathan are standing on one side, along with nearly 600 soldiers to fight against the Philistines. On the other side, a huge crowd of Philistines are standing. Suddenly, with much faith, Jonathan says to his armour bearer, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the LORD will work for us. For nothing restrains the LORD from saving by many or by few.” Seeing their firm faith, the Lord caused trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so that it was a very great trembling (1 Samuel 14:15). The enemies fell against each other. Jonathan worked with God that day (1 Samuel 14:45).

Since we may live in an ordinary little house, we may callously think, “What blessing can be there in this small house?” But the Lord promises us that He will come and dwell in our dwelling places (2 Corinthians 6:16; Leviticus 26:11). Oh, how great is His love and concern upon us! He has promised that He will be with us even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20).

Once, a head of the family was facing failures on all fronts. As a result there was no peace in the family and while he was immensely broken hearted, his friend invited him to attend his church where a pastor was offering special prayers and took him there. Totally broken, he went there with much expectation that somehow he would be comforted. The pastor, who was preaching in the church, was narrating how he faced failures in his life and how the Lord helped him at those times. He also beautifully explained how the Lord provided peace, joy and blessings in his life. Hearing this, even without his knowledge, this brother committed himself to the Lord.

Similarly, Abraham, the servant of God, did not have a child till his 99 years (Genesis 17:1,5,6). Both he and his wife were advanced in age. Yet, Abraham held on to the promise of the Lord that said, “Your descendants shall be as the stars of the heaven. You shall be a father of many nations” (Genesis 17:5). Contrary to hope, he believed and became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body that was already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness

13:22). He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord (1 Kings 15:5). He was lonely! He was forsaken and deserted by everyone! King Saul distressed him terribly! In such pitiable situation he had to seek refuge under a Philistine king. It was at that time when David changed his behaviour before Abimelech who drove him away, that he sang Psalm 34. In this, he says about his trust on the Lord: “Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!”

of Sarah’s womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform (Romans 4:18-21). Holding on to the promise with faith, he received blessings in full. He begot his beloved son Isaac. He also received the perfect blessing of having a godly progeny from generation to generation. In a family with five children, the head of the family died suddenly. Soon after his funeral, the relatives asked the wife, “Your husband has not saved anything for you. How are you going to bring up these five children?” Questioning thus, they left her. This poor widowed mother said to her children, “My darling children, all have forsaken you and me, but the Lord whom I trust will never forsake us. Let us cling on to Him with prayer.” As a family, they committed themselves into the hand of God and she prayed earnestly saying, “Lord, please take up the responsibilities of my family. Make me into a godly mother, as a priceless pearl and a virtuous woman.” The mighty God heard all her prayers and gave her a determined heart to trust Him. He undertook every

Dear sisters, just like this head of the family, you should commit yourself into the hand of the Lord. If the Lord comes within you, surely the house where you dwell will become a blessed house, which becomes the dwelling place of the Lord. He will surely come and dwell in your house. He will preserve you from all evil (Psalm 121:7).

Until then, in his home they had no habit of seeking the Lord, either reading the Bible or praying. From that day onwards with the family he started reading the Bible and sought the Lord early in the morning. Soon after, the Lord blessed that god fearing man abundantly and filled him with all the blessings, with joy and with peace (Psalm 128). That house had become a house of prayer.

guide us in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice (Proverbs 8:20). When He went to the wedding at Cana, there was a lack of wine in the wedding feast. Just as He miraculously perfected the insufficient wine, He will perfect all the lacks and meet our needs even in our life knowing well our needs and inadequacies. The daughter of a person, known to me got married. They had invited 1000 people and had arranged food for them. After the marriage, when the cooks estimated the number of leaves that were used up by the guests, they were surprised to notice that 1,200 people had taken part in the wedding feast. The Lord had perfected the lack in this wedding just as how He did at the wedding at Cana and had blessed and multiplied it. The Lord is not partial and is concerned about you too. He will supply all your needs according to His riches (Philippians 4:19). He will give you blessings with no sorrow (Proverbs 10:22). He will make riches and honour come in search of you (1 Chronicles 29:12).

Many sisters, particularly young girls often write to me, “When I sit to pray, various evil thoughts invade my mind.” The only way to be delivered from such vain thoughts is that the Perfect One (Jesus) has to stay in us. He offered Himself on the cross to make us alive who were dead in trespasses and sins. He wants to make us holy. When we give ourselves into His hands, He will

responsibility of her family. Making use of the small grove she had, she cultivated that land and formed a vegetable garden with much prayer. By the grace of God, there was a good yield. She gave the first yield as an offering to the Lord. Seeing the mother’s hard work, the children too worked hard and gained degrees through scholarships. They got good jobs by the grace of God. They said, “Mother, the hard work you had done thus far is enough. Do stay at home from now on and continue praying for us.” The Lord blessed that family abundantly. The kith and kin that had forsaken them came in search of them. Not only that, she became a mother, who worked hard for the Lord and was a mighty sword in His hands.

Not only the family rejoined as one, more than Roshan, it was his family that loved her a lot. Sylvia excelled in everything that all praised her as an ideal wife. She was exemplary in cooking, doing household chores and attending to the bank and school works, shopping and involving in church activities.

From the day of marriage, Sylvia firmly told her husband about tithing, educating missionaries’ children as much as possible, reading the Bible diligently, personal prayer, family prayer etc., and regularized everything. Roshan willingly followed that and hence they never had any lack or unnecessary expenditure. That was why, Roshan was surprised to note that Kirubakaran, who earned a lot more, had no comforts, never owned a house or a car. Both of them realized the meaning of the verse, “The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, and He adds no

It’s really a wonder that he’s not done well in life…” – Roshan was telling his wife about his former colleague Kirubakaran, who had left the job for a better option in Delhi. His wife Sylvia explained, “Earnings alone cannot prosper us. The grace of God alone will prosper us…” She continued…“Wasn’t it the grace of God that helped us build a house and get medical seat for our daughter, within these 30 years of your service in the same company?” – Roshan agreed with her.

(Colossians 1:10)

In this Scripture verse, we clearly read as to how we should be pleasing to God. Firstly, a life of good works and good fruits should be seen in us. Secondly, we need to be filled with the knowledge of knowing God. How to receive these two blessings? In Galatians 2:20, Apostle Paul writes about the changes in his life thus: “I was a terrible sinner and a cruel man.

Answer: This is indeed a divine nature. Receiving this blessed life is not at all possible on our own effort. Unless the Lord fills us with His Spirit, we cannot experience this in our life. To be a virtuous woman who has the tendency to forgive and forget, we need to first of all receive a life of living close with God and a blessed divine life from Him.

To avoid this, we need to have the divine experience of waiting in the presence of the Lord according to Isaiah 40:31. Today, even believers, who have accepted Christ shun not only Bible reading, but also the life of walking with Him, communing close with God, and talking with Him. Men of God like Noah, Enoch, David, Abraham and Moses talked with God. They did their things according to His guidance. So they lived a pleasing life to God.

The Lord will give us this divine experience. He will change us in such a way that we will be a light to the world (Matthew 5:14,16). Let us receive the experience of enjoying the life of light given by the Lord, and depart from the darkness of this world (John 8:12). How will this life be? Many in our family may grieve our heart by speaking wrong words against us or by walking in the wrong ways. But, we, who live a life of shining light, ought to learn to present this unbearable burden to the Lord, without magnifying it. Today why divisions, bitterness and enmity are rampant in families? It is because of a life that has no mind to forgive one another and a heart that is unable to bear anything. It is a pitiable life of not clinging on to the Lord.

Forgiving and forgetting are divine life of light. When we are touched by the Lord, and live a holy life by getting delivered from all darkness, the light of Christ shines from us.

the disciples of the Lord Jesus had His mind, though they were with Him. But, when they grew in this, they declared, ‘But we have the mind of Christ’ (1 Corinthians 2:16). Accordingly, the Lord will surely help us, the weak vessels, to receive the mind of Christ. He Himself makes us into vessels that are pleasing to Christ.

So, my dear sisters, every day, grow in the knowledge of knowing the Lord (1 Peter 1:3; 2 Peter 3:13; Ephesians 4:11). When this growth comes in us, our daily life will be certainly pleasing to Him and we will have His mind.

Today, there are so many shortcomings in the lives of women! Even women, who are spiritual and saved, audaciously indulge in all sorts of pleasures and lusts. Yes, these are the end times and terrible days. Today many women are caught up in many wrong ways as they do not have the proper knowledge of Christ. To avoid this state, we need to get up early in the morning every day and eat the Word of God as a food from Him. We should not read it for name sake and be content with that. When we fall short of this, we are tempted by the devil and face failures.

○

My dear sisters, examine your life for a while. How much knowledge of knowing Christ is in you? Is there any growth in it? Or are you content that you know everything? This contentment should not be seen in us but we need to humble ourselves, read the Bible every day with a reverential feeling, “I am full of shortcomings. The knowledge of knowing the Lord should increase in me…” and through that get increased in this knowledge.

perfectly and now I live in Him.” This is the vessel, which is pleasing to the Lord.

My dear sisters, is bitterness there in your life? Do you find fault with your husband? Are you worried that your children are not good? Is there mother-in-law/ daughter-in-law problem? If you want peace and joy in your life, hold on to the Lord’s feet firmly at any state and pour out the burdens of your heart (1 Samuel 1:15; Psalm 142:1,2; 62:8; Lamentations 2:19). If you do these things, anger, irritation or enmity will not reside in your heart. The patience given by the Lord will fill you. We read in the Bible that “Indeed we count them blessed who endure” (James 5:11). The Lord will give us such a blessed life. A woman became very happy when she accepted the Lord in her heart. She regretted for not knowing the glory of this joyful life, until then. She got married. Her husband was a good man. But whenever he was drunk, he would become a terrible man. The abusive words from his mouth always broke her heart. Do

A godly mother, did all that she could, to bring up her son, whom God had given her as a gift, in the same path of godliness. But when he grew up to be a young man, he did not seek the godly ways but rebelled against his mother. He indulged in things that were displeasing to the mother and was grieving her. But his mother, filled with the Holy Spirit was always praying, “Lord, teach me how to lead my son. I don’t want my ways, but lead him in Your ways…” One day the Lord spoke to her thus: “Daughter, how much love I have shown you and how I have made you into a godly daughter. Likewise, show much love to your son.” That’s all. When she committed herself to the Lord, a strange divine love filled her and she began to

show this love towards her son. Her heart never gave room for her to speak harshly or do something hard against her son, no matter how cruelly he spoke to her. Everything about her was love. She cooked food for him with great love. The Lord saw that mother’s love and humility. As desired by her, He changed everything upside down. Dear ones, are you worried that your husband or children are hard hearted? As per the Lord’s wish, get filled with the same divine love and show them much love according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Then, “He who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us” (Ephesians 3:20) will perform a miracle. About this we clearly read in 1 Corinthians chapter 13 . Nothing is impossible with that divine love. So let us discard our imperfect love, get filled with the Holy Spirit and bring such people to the Lord by the divine love. The Holy Spirit Himself will

you know what she used to do then? She sought the feet of the Lord. She poured out the burdens and agonies of her heart in His presence. She never thought of opening up her heart to any human being. She cast her burden on the Lord alone and prayed with thanksgiving. Do you know what happened? At this juncture, one day, the voice of her prayer fell on her husband’s ears. That prayer broke his heart. With remorse that he had been blind all along despite having such a loving wife, he humbled himself in the presence of God and committed himself to Him. Seeing that, she forgave him, showed him much love and helped him a lot every day without magnifying his flaws and held on to the Lord in spite of those sufferings. He too committed his life to the Lord. That family belonged to Jesus and their life was pleasant.

strengthen you and help you in this regard. Everything that happens through the love of Christ will amaze you.

Living with Christ Today, only a few women experience such deep divine life. The Bible explains this experience thus: “But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him” (1 Corinthians 6:17)

Quite often, we, women think, “Oh, I’m bogged down by these heavy loads of work! I need to struggle all day long. How is it possible to join with Christ, in this situation?” Not only that, we also neglect it totally which grieves Jesus Christ. There were days in my life when I too had wondered in this vein. But, according to Psalm 32:8, the Lord gave me counsels and guided me with His eyes instructing, “When you do your daily chores, let your heart join with me.” Perhaps you may be cooking. Even while doing that, you can join with God and talk to Him. If so, that time would be pleasant. A wonderful thing is that when you do so, the Lord will bless your cooking and make the dishes tasty and delicious. At the same time, rejoicing, peace and joy given by God will increase in your soul. So, my dear sisters, you should try to have a close relationship with God, without wasting a single moment. I followed this in my life. The day when I accepted the Lord as my personal Saviour and started loving Him, the Lord gave me the grace to talk to Him just as how we talk to a friend. You too follow this. Then the divine presence will fill you. By His grace, He will help you to do everything in a way pleasing to Him. He will deliver you from

the pitiable state of confused mind caused by magnifying even petty things and becoming suspicious unnecessarily and give you the divine strength to forgive every one and forget their wrong deeds.

The Lord shall fill you with these divine characteristics, adorn you with virtue of “forgiving and forgetting,” change you into His likable daughter, a vessel pleasing to Him and use you as a blessing to many. ◆

Sis. Beulah of our Esther Prayer Group, could not move her fingers for the past 15 years. She used to suffer from severe pain. On 28.2.15, when dear mother Stella Dhinakaran offered prayers during the Esther Prayer Group conference held in Coimbatore, she too joined her in the prayer for healing. That night while sleeping, she had a vision in which she saw a chain which had bound her ten fingers, falling off. As per the vision her fingers became straightened. The Lord has removed the suffering of 15 years, made the fingers to function again and had granted her perfect healing. Millions of praises to the Lord. I thank dear mother, who prayed for us and our group.

14 years of married life and spent my days in tears, sorrow, reproach and in shame. I was despised and discarded by everyone in the family. With much agony I continued to pray in the Esther Prayer Group, with fasting. At that time I conceived. But I had a miscarriage in the 5th month. My mother-in-law, my husband and I committed ourselves to the Lord, fully believing that the Lord will give me a child as He did for Hannah. In February 2014, I conceived again. The Lord, who heard the prayers, blessed me with a sweet Samuel on 20th October. We express our gratitude to the Esther Prayer Group and the Jesus Calls family that prayed for me.

This month, the moment we sat down to pray in the Esther Prayer Group, the Lord poured out an immeasurable anointing of the Holy Spirit. The Lord opened my eyes and made me see the Holy Spirit descending upon everyone in the form of a dove. He filled us with His anointing in great measure and we could not control ourselves. He also gave us new tongues and spoke to each one of us prophetically. The Lord made everyone who came with sorrow to return with rejoicing. All glory, honour and praise be to the name of the Lord.

Soon after the prayer, she returned home, praising the Lord. On seeing her, her daughter-in-law rushed to her to seek forgiveness and promised that she would never go anywhere. Saying so, she happily accepted her mother-in-law. This miracle happened because of the prayers offered by dear mother Stella Dhinakaran and by us during the Esther Prayer Group. Glory to God, Who heard the prayer.
