Son’s marriage beautifully settled I was brokenhearted as my husband left me with my newborn son, long time ago. I singlehandedly brought him up and gave him good education. When my son reached the marriageable age, no one was willing to give him a girl in marriage because of our sad family background. Many alliances rejected my son because of this reason. I was really broken and in that juncture, on the eve of 11th December 2020, as I was watching a program in the Family Channel, suddenly Dr. Paul Dhinakaran said "Sister Dhanalakshmi , you are burdened about the future of your son. Our Lord Jesus will build his family life." I was overjoyed. Soon after that a proposal was finalized and he got married. Now my daughter- in - law has conceived and is in the sixth month of her pregnancy. The Lord Jesus has turned all my sorrows into joy. Praise the Lord. - Dhanalakshmi, Erode 2
M
y precious friend, you are the beloved child of the Living God. He always cares for you because you have surrendered everything concerning you to walk in His footsteps and to carry His image. Do not be afraid. He values you as Himself. You are a part of Him. He will never leave you nor forsake you. I want to share with you the promise from the Scriptures for this month. It is found in Matthew 7:11. “…how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!”
Here, the Lord Jesus says ‘if you, who know only to do evil, can give the best for your children, how much more your heavenly Father will give good gifts to those who ask him?’ The world gives only evil, but God gives all the goodness. The more the evil of the world surrounds you, the more darkness engulfs you, the more your blessings stop midway, and the more obstacles rise up, much more will the Lord increase His goodness and His good gifts to you. As His goodness increases, no obstacle can ever remain. Yes, nothing can stop God’s blessings from coming to you! The life of Joseph explains this truth clearly. Joseph was his father’s favorite son and had been gifted a multicolored coat. This made his brothers jealous. They treacherously threw him into a waterless pit to die, but later unjustly sold him www.jesuscalls.org - October 2021

Gifts quadrupled Righteousness of Jesus “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:33)
as a slave. Even in the house where he was a slave, he was falsely accused and thrown into prison. The people to whom he helped while in the prison forgot him when they were released. However, in the midst of all this evil, God was with Joseph and never stopped blessing him. However, God’s ways are different. God did not stop Joseph from being sold, from being put in prison, or stop the injustice. The Lord anointed him with His divine spirit and gift of revelation, which the Pharaoh acknowledged saying “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God?” (Genesis 41:38). My precious friend, everything may have been unjustly taken away from you. You may be expecting God to intervene and give you back everything. However, God does not restore you by taking things from of the world. Instead God will fill you with what He has and give it to you as His goodness. Yes, God is good and what He has is full and abundant goodness. With what the world intends to harm you, God will intend it for good to accomplish His plan and purpose in your life (Genesis 50:20). This is exactly what God is promising you this month. My dear friend, the gift God is sending into your life is His goodness. As a good shepherd, He makes goodness to follow you (Psalm 23:6) and He will never stop doing good to you (Jeremiah 32:40).
The why and how of goodness “He did not spare His own Son but gave Him for us all. So with Jesus, God will surely give us all good things.” (Romans 8:32) Jesus is God in flesh, who gave himself as a sacrifice. Yes, because He has paid the price, when you ask in the name of Jesus, you will have all these good gifts. 4

Yes, the greatest good gift you can ever receive is the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Everyone who looks at you will call you a righteous person. Even this month, God wants to fill your life with His righteousness - righteous before God and man. ~Divine Peace “Kingdom of God is of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 14:17) Along with righteousness, you receive peace, which is the nature of Jesus Christ. As promised in John 14:27, Jesus will give you His peace and not as the world gives. ~Joy in the Holy Spirit Joy is one of the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22). This joy comes when God’s power and wisdom give you the grace to accomplish what God wants you to do in this world. When my sister Angel died, we were full of sorrow. On the other side, we thought everybody was against us and criticizing us. Of course, it was only 0.1% of the people who spoke like that, but 99.9% of the people cried with us and loved us. However, the evil powers were telling us “everybody is criticizing you and you cannot go out to face the world and continue your mission anymore. Even God has forsaken you because you have committed some secret sin.” However, one morning during our family prayer, the Holy Spirit came upon us and we were laughing in the spirit. Yes, the joy of the Lord filled us and through that a divine strength came into our spirits. That strength of the Holy Spirit has sustained us to establish Karunya and continue to run it. What could not be done by human nature was done by the Almighty God at the moment of greatest weakness we went through. That is the power of the joy of the Holy Spirit. ~Supernatural Strength It is in your moment of utmost weakness,
God’s strength will be perfected. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (II Corinthians 12:9) Through the strength of the Holy Spirit, you will rise up with wings as eagles and do all things. This month, the Lord is going to give you all these good gifts. Joy in the Holy Spirit to have the strength to accomplish God’s will overcoming every evil power and the wicked people; divine peace to have communion with the Lord Jesus Christ; and the righteousness of God. Along with these gifts come all things you need to live in this world in abundance. That is what we read in Matthew 6:25-34. You will not have to worry about what you will eat, be clothed in or where you will live. You will have absolutely no worry
about the future. As you seek His righteousness, His peace and the joy in the Holy Spirit to do His will, God will supply all your needs and that of your family according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). God’s provision for your life will be given as a good gift to you. Yes, my beloved, I place this blessing in abundance upon you and your family. My loving Heavenly Father, Thank You for the wonderful promise You have given me this month. Father, You are giver of good gifts. According to Your promise, bless me with righteousness, peace, joy of the Holy Spirit and divine strength. Thank You Lord for You will meet all my needs according to Your riches in glory. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Prophesied 2021 (January) "In Asia/India, there will be different kinds of deluge coming, but God will turn the hearts of people to cry to Him, the Savior of the world and there will be great transformations."
Fulfillment 2021 (August & September) Deluge hits the states of Assam and Uttar Pradesh heavily. Incessant rains in Assam and parts of Arunachal Pradesh over the past few days caused the water level of the Brahmaputra river and its tributaries to rise. The rivers are flowing above the “danger level” mark in several places. As many as 22 of Assam’s 34 districts have been impacted by the floodwaters. Owing to heavy rains in Nepal, the water levels in rivers Rapti and Burhi Rapti have increased, leading to the flooding of 15 districts in Uttar Pradesh. We pray God to protect the people who live there and restore the affected people in double measure (Isaiah 43:2).
Afghanistan Crisis and Russia’s Influence Prophesied 2021 (January) 'In Middle East Countries, God’s hand will come upon people. Especially, Afghanistan will experience the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This will influence the nations of Pakistan, Turkey and surrounding nations. There will be instability and unstable moves in the Middle East. Russia’s influence will increase. But our eyes should be upon China. Everywhere the hand of God will prevail. People shall continue to turn to the Lord. Even though the doors for people to cry out to Him openly might be closed, yet the Holy Spirit shall work with greater authority working signs, wonders, and miracles everywhere.' Fulfillment 2021 (August) After nearly two decades of war, the Taliban has taken over Afghanistan, a country in Central Asia in mid-August. The government of President Ashraf Ghani had fallen. The U.S. defense officials reportedly expected Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, to fall in 90 days but it took less than 10 days. As the United State of America withdrew its troops from Afghanistan, hundreds of Russian armored vehicles and artillery pieces were clearly visible hundreds of miles away, on the border with Tajikistan and it is expected that Russia's power in Central Asia shall grow stronger - media reports.
India – Business Prophesied 2019 (January) "India shall become a destination for world business leaders to invest and grow." Fulfillment 2019 (October) For the third consecutive time, India ranked among the 10 top improvers on the World Bank's flagship 'Doing Business' 2020 report. India climbed the World Bank's rankings by making it easier to do business in four of the 10 areas of business regulation that the report measures, which contribute to an economy's score. www.jesuscalls.org - October 2021

North and South Korea Restore Hotline Prophesied 2017 "North Korea and South Korea shall unite together to display God's splendor among them." Fulfillment 2018 & 2021 The two Koreas remain technically at war because the 1950-1953 Korean war ended with an armistice. The Pyongyang Joint Declaration is an agreement signed by North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un and South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in on September 18, 2018, during the Inter-Korean Summit Meeting in Pyongyang. Some, although not all, long-standing issues between the two countries were addressed in this agreement. But this quickly broke down. North Korea cut the hotline in June 2020 as relations soured after a failed summit between the two countries. Afterward, North Korea blew up an inter-Korean border office that had been built to improve communications. The agreement made between the two countries took a measure to reoperate all inter-Korean communication liaison lines from 10 AM on July 27, 2021.
China – Pestilence Corona Prophesied 2016 "A pestilence shall first go across the nations of the East even in greater China. When nobody else can help them they will cry out to Me. As the pestilence goes across the Land, My grace shall then follow and people shall be redeemed. My healing presence shall flow across the land of China and they will know that I am their only Savior and their only redeemer." Fulfillment 2019 On December 31, 2019, China informed the World Health Organization (WHO) of a cluster of cases of pneumonia due to an unknown cause in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China. A few patients in Wuhan had been suffering from respiratory illnesses such as pneumonia since December 8, 2019. The 2019-nCoV belongs to a family of viruses responsible for diseases that range in severity from the common cold to severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, which killed almost 800 people in a 2002-2003 outbreak.
United Kingdom’s exit from European Union Prophesied 2016 "The disintegration of existing political and business empires to form new conglomerates." Fulfillment 2016 & 2020 The United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union in 2016 and officially left the trading bloc - its nearest and biggest trading partner - on 31 January 2020. The UK has been a member of the EU since 1973. The Treaty of Rome, which founded the European Economic Community (“the Common Market”) was signed in 1956 between six European nations - France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The UK, as the savior of Europe, watched the Europeans getting together.
“‘The vision he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies about the distant future.’” (Ezekiel 12:27) Praise God for He has revealed all these to His servant Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and honored His words by fulfilling them. Keep praying for God to fulfill all other prophecies which He had revealed through Dr. Paul Dhinakaran. 8

“After accepting Jesus, I was longing to see Him. Having prayed seven full years to see Him, I almost gave up in desperation. Nevertheless, October 10, 1962, turned out to be unforgettable. It was an exhausting workday and I came home at 9:30 p.m. I was worn out and planned to have a quick dinner and sleep. However, God chose that physically weak moment to visit me. We knelt down for our family prayer that’s all I knew. Through my closed eyes, suddenly I saw a great light coming from Heaven and filling the room and sensed a supernatural Person’s presence. My tiredness disappeared and ‘joy unspeakable, full of glory’ (I Peter 1:8) engulfed me. My chronic depression became delirious joy. I saw Jesus face to face, standing before me as an embodiment of inexpressible love and compassion. I was laughing uncontrollably with joy. He recounted all my prayers seeking the anointing of His Holy Spirit and Himself and said with a smile, “I am Jesus, come in person to bless you.” He then moved towards me. I slowly mumbled, “Thank you Lord” in my mother tongue, but I was speaking in a totally unknown language. I steadied up my tongue and tried to thank Him in English. The more I tried to thank Him in languages known to me, this strange phenomenon repeated. The Lord Jesus was watching this funny situation and calmed me down saying, “It is I who moves you to praise Me in unknown languages. This is baptism of the Holy Spirit.” He further said “Son, this world has only heard about My love and compassion but has not seen it in a man’s life. Today, I am filling you with My compassion. Every time you are moved with this compassion, whatever you ask for My people shall be granted”.
Then, something like a door opened within my heart. Jesus entered and settled down in my heart gently with His frame embedded in as if He got merged with my very being. It was a state of heavenly bliss the entire three hours. This was the starting of my ministry.” Yes dearly beloved, Holy Spirit transforms people into mighty testimonies for God Almighty. Heaven is our ultimate destination and we have to be sealed with the Holy Spirit in our hearts as guarantee. We are living in the last days and having the Holy Spirit’s anointing is not an option but obligatory. Below is a special prayer compiled from Bible Scriptures with which you can ask God to anoint you. Lord Almighty, I come before Your throne of grace humbly asking You to forgive all my trespasses and sins and cleanse my heart. I am thirsty for the Holy Spirit. You have promised to pour out Your Spirit on the thirsty. The Bible says all Your promises are yes and amen through Christ Jesus. The Scriptures says You will give the Holy Spirit to everyone who asks You. I claim this promise and ask You to fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I very much need Your Holy Spirit to be Your child and live a life pleasing in Your sight. Lord, graciously anoint me with the Holy Spirit. Let the Holy Spirit take complete control of my life from now on and direct my paths. Thank You Lord for You will grant my request, bless me with this precious gift, and seal me with Your Spirit. In Jesus’ name, I ask. Amen. (The Bible verses on which this prayer is compiled: Psalm 51:1; Isaiah 44:3; Luke 11:13; Acts 2:17; Romans 8:14; II Corinthians 1:20,22) www.jesuscalls.org - October 2021

This is how God blessed Bro. Winston David from Coimbatore through Bethesda
HEAVENLY INTERVENTION In the year 2016 my father, Prince Solomon had a brain stroke resulting in right-sided paralysis. His memory was affected and he was unable to even speak. He was in ICU for a month. We as a family requested prayers through Telephone Prayer Tower and God healed him. After coming home, he used a walking stick to walk. We couldn’t afford physiotherapy for him because it was expensive. At this juncture, we came to Bethesda Prayer Centre on 17th September 2017 and made a vow to God regarding his healing. In 2018, we visited Bethesda with him completely healed and walking without anyone’s support. Doctors had
told he would not walk but God did a great miracle. We came out of one difficulty but went into financial crisis. We applied for his VRS but there were obstacles in settling his accounts that we could not get his pension benefits. Having waited for nearly four years, we went to Bethesda in 2020 seeking guidance about filing a court case as we were in a state where we couldn't know what to do and whom we should trust. A prayer intercessor prayed for us and assured us that God will do a miracle in one month’s time. He also said that we would have a wedding in our family as God will send an alliance to our house seeking a groom. So we decided to wait for justice from God. We were completely astonished as before the month could end, in the midst of the pandemic situation, many changes happened in father ’s office towards receiving his retirement benefits and God met our needs. Just as the prayer intercessor at Bethesda said, an alliance approached us and my wedding took place in February 2021. We have no words to thank God for all that He has done to us especially through Bethesda. We thank God for Bethesda which has been our hope when we needed help.

“He has appointed me to preach Good News to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, announce freedom to the prisoners, recover sight to the blind, and to set oppressed people free.” (Luke 4:18) October 10th, 1962 was the day my dear father, Bro. D.G.S. Dhinakaran, received the anointing and vision for the ministry. Later in 1993 on the same date, Bethesda International Prayer Centre, Coimbatore was established. Much like the Biblical times, people experience God’s mighty miracles in Bethesda. Having withstood 28 years, Bethesda is undergoing renovation to augment infrastructure for the future.

Healed from persistent headache I suffered from severe headache. Just like other days I had a painkiller and slept thinking I would be alright the next day. However, I got up with even more pain accompanied by vomiting, the next day. The pain persisted and it worried me because few years ago I had similar headache and underwent treatment for blood clot in the brain. So I went to doctor and he prescribed CT scan. I was heartbroken, also I couldn’t take care of my four and half year old son and my husband and do any household work. I was bedridden vomiting and shouting with pain day and night for almost five days. I decided to call Jesus Calls Prayer Tower in Australia and got its number through Facebook.
A prayer intercessor attended my call and prayed for me with burden and faith and she chased the enemy in prayer and declared that the result of CT scan report will say no issues. With that faith I took the scan and the report concluded with no acute findings by God’s amazing grace. I don’t have enough words to thank Jesus calls prayer intercessor, Sister Sunitha, for encouraging me in prayer. All glory to God. - Deepika M, Australia

The prayer intercessor noted down my phone number and email address to inform Dr. Paul Dhinakaran so that he could pray for me. Then I received an email from Dr. Paul Dhinakaran assuring me Psalm 23:1&4 and his prayers. We have been receiving the magazine for many years now as we have subscribed to it. When I was sick, I used to read the promise verses for every day from the magazine. I used to pray claiming those verses every time before going to hospital for check up. Every evening I used to call the prayer intercessors and request them to pray for my healing as well as for my parents as I was concerned if they would have been affected. The prayer intercessors prayed for me and encouraged me of my healing and family’s protection. I also joined Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and Sis.

My beloved friend, God has a very beautiful promise for you. In Psalm 103:13 the Bible says, "As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.” God often compares Himself with an earthly father, but He also distinguishes Himself as the Perfect Father (Matthew 5:48) for His compassion never fails. Jesus spoke about the prodigal son, who demanded his inheritance money from his father and then left home to waste it in worldly pleasures. Later when he realized his mistake, he returned to his father wondering if his father would accept him. We read about it in Luke 15:21-23. “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father, an example to our Heavenly Father, said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate.”

Yes my friend! This is the heart of our heavenly Father which makes Him the Perfect Father. When you run to Him and ask forgiveness, He comes to you and forgives all your sins. This is because of the immeasurable compassion that He has on you His child. An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45 year old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window. The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied “It is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son the 2nd time, “What is this?” The son said “Father, I have just now told you “It’s a crow.” After a little while, the old father again asked his son the 3rd time, “What is this?” At this time some expression of irritation was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father with a rebuff. “It’s a crow, a crow, a crow.” A little after, the father again asked his son the 4th time, “What is this?” This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW.’ Are you not able to understand this?” A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:-
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated. I rather felt affection for my innocent child.” Yes, a father’s compassion for his child never runs out no matter how much it tests the father’s patience. May be you are a parent who has a rebellious child. May God’s compassion on you inspire you to be compassionate to your child. May be you are a son/daughter who is impatient with your ageing parents. Let the realization of your parental love and Heavenly Father’s love compel you to be patient with them. May be you have lost your parent, remember that you will always have God to guide you and provide for you. Yes, the Lord will carry you, care for you and be compassionate toward you as the Perfect Father. You will never have to feel alone for the Hands that fed the 5000, cares for the sparrow, bled for you and has you engraved in the palm (Isaiah 49:16), will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches and with good and perfect gifts specially sent from above (James 1:17).

These days, most of the families are bereft of blessings because of various problems, rifts and lack of peace. However, as per Psalm 34:10 which says, ‘those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing’, there are couples who stay blessed as divine families beautifully built by the Lord as they seek the Lord with their whole heart and mind. Hence, shall we now examine, ‘how to receive a blessed family life as a ‘house built by the Lord’? The Bible beautifully says, “Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it.” (Psalm 127:1) Let’s see how we can build our house/ family life in a blessed way by trusting on the Lord.
House Founded on the Rock “He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock; and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.” (Luke 6:48) “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his
house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.” (Matthew 7:24, 25) David says in Psalm 18:2, 31:3, 62:2, 71:3, “Be my strong refuge, to which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress.” Hannah says in I Samuel 2:2, ‘Nor is there any rock like our God.’ In Deuteronomy 32:4, Moses says, ‘He is the Rock, His work is perfect.’ David says in his last words in II Samuel 23:3, ‘The Rock of Israel’ and in Psalm 89:26 we read, ‘the rock of my salvation.’ If we receive the divine salvation that has been earned through Jesus Christ and lay the foundation of our family life on Him, the Rock, it is certain that we would receive all kinds of blessings in life. In the Bible, a Moabite woman called Ruth became the wife of Mahlon, son of the couple Elimelech and Naomi. But Ruth became a widow after her husband Mahlon died. In the same manner, both Elimelech and the other son Chilion also died. Both Ruth and Naomi became widows. Ruth, who saw Naomi’s godly www.jesuscalls.org - October 2021

place and for the very first time, I felt the touch of the Holy Spirit surging through my body from my head to feet. In the same way, I longed to receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit and I was pleading for that. One evening, as I knelt down at the feet of the Lord and was thanking Him from the depth of my heart, at that moment, quite unexpectedly the Lord anointed me with His Holy Spirit. The joy that filled me and my family was inexpressible!
According to the verse that says, ‘Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness…’ (Psalm 112:4), the Lord will be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory (Isaiah 60:19). Yes, dear ones! If you too would kneel down at the Lord’s feet whenever possible and spend “The Lord is near to all who call upon your time in praising His name, the Lord will Him, to all who call upon Him in be present and will fill you with His abundant truth.” (Psalm 145:18) As you call upon God in truth, He will make goodness. Likewise, read and examine the your house into a house of prayer. Do we excel Scriptures, when you get even a little leisure in our prayer life by looking up to the Lord time.

Godly fear is a divine character, which the Lord gives us graciously. Every woman, who has received this godly fear would surely arise and shine as a ‘priceless pearl’ in this earthly life. In what things would she be seen with reverence, before the Lord?
Prayerful Mind In the Bible, we come across two sisters Mary and Martha, out of whom, Mary always clung to the Lord with reverentially prayerful mind. The Lord Jesus testifies about her thus, “Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."

But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.” (I Corinthians 6:11) Accordingly, the Lord would grant His excellent portion to those who thus seek Him with reverence. Bro. Dhinakaran and I got married on August 17, 1959. It was during the betrothal ceremony, which was held two months prior to the wedding, the Lord spoke in my heart about this divine fear. Since that day, He has been holding my hand, leading in His divine path and raised 28

up our family in a beautiful way by becoming the foundation of our family life. My dear sisters, ‘fear of God’ is the foundation of our lives. The lack of this fear leads to several other lacks. Martha had a great love for Christ (John 11:5), but she had no godly fear. That was why she was enthusiastically indulging in worldly things. Hence, she lacked in faith. She could not understand the wonderful, deep things of God and His power. My dear sister, do you also lack in godly reverence like Martha and are hurting yourself with unwanted worries, being filled with unbelief and distrust? Are you living in tears, unable to know the glory of God? As we read in Psalm 121:1,2, be diligent to wait in the presence of the Lord in reverence, and live successfully, choosing the good portion like Mary did, by looking up to Jesus, ‘the Hill from whence comes the help’ with prayer and faith.
Search the Scriptures in Reverence “You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.” (John 5:39) The Scriptures have been given by the Spirit of God. Who is the Spirit? According to II Corinthians 3:17, the Lord is the Spirit. The Bible teaches us that He speaks to us. As we read in Judges 4:4, a prophetess by name Deborah was judging Israel in those days. She was fervent in Spirit, was gifted as a prophetess

Safe return We are conducting Couples’ Esther Prayer Group. We pray for all the points sent by Sister Stella Dhinakaran and it is always a blessed time. We enjoy the presence of the Lord. Brother Lenin who comes to our prayer group is working in Muscat and his wife Adlin and their child came there on dependant visa. As Lenin’s company did not have a policy to give family visa, he had taken it from an outside source and later it turned out into a big issue. They were blocked from travelling out of Oman. Moreover, the sponsor was not ready to solve the issue and immigration handed over the issue to court. It came to a point where no one could help in solving the issue and there were chances she could land up in a big fine or a jail term. We were all praying and God miraculously spoke in the heart of the sponsor and solved We belong to a family that does not the issue. Now, they are back in Nagercoil, India safely.

ello friend! I am very happy to share the Scripture with you this month. Let me begin with a question. When you pray, are you confident you will get an answer or are you in doubt? Just think about what goes on in your mind. Do you doubt the power of God with your several questions - will God answer me? Is He able enough to give it to me? Though you have heard powerful testimonies from others, do you still wonder if it would happen in your life? God wants to remove your every doubt. Matthew 21:22 holds God’s word for the youth this month: “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” Are you ready to meditate on this and learn the secret to make this kind of faith and prayer your lifestyle? The above verse is the answer Jesus gave His disciples. Let us look the previous verse also to get a complete picture. “Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have

faith and do not doubt…. you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.” (Matthew 21:21)
Just Don’t Doubt: Yes my friend, faith without doubt is the first secret. When you have this kind of faith, be sure you prayers will fetch answers. Abraham is often referred to for indomitable faith. Abraham was childless and well past childbearing age when God promised him a son. He never wavered in his faith for a period of 25 years! No wonder he is called as Father of Faith. I would like to share a real-life example for faith. The pastor had just begun his ministry. One evening, his 6-year-old son came home from school with fever. He asked his son to lie down
and rest. Much to dismay, the little boy could not even get up from bed the next day and his condition started deteriorating. Some said it was tuberculosis while others called it a kind of incurable arthritis. People started visiting his home – some to taunt him for coming into ministry and others to see the son one last time. It was almost 2 weeks and there was no improvement. At this point, the pastor was invited to preach at another church. When he waited in prayer, God asked him to speak on Exodus 15:26 “I am the Lord, who heals you.” The pastor was shattered and worried thinking ‘what if someone from the crowd says why I speak of healing when my own son is terminally ill. Will not God’s name be disgraced?’ However, he did not lose faith but knelt beside his son’s bed and claimed God’s promise. The moment his tears fell on his son’s face, God’s healing touch descended on the little boy. God raise him up from the deathbed and even today stands as a testimony for the glory of God. The little boy is none other than Pas. Johnsam Joyson, who sang
the famous Tamil song “Um azhagana kangal ennai kandathaalae”. This is what complete faith in God can do! Just don’t doubt my friend.
In line with God’s will: Praying according to God’s will is the second secret. Yes, that is what the Bible says! “If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” (I John 5:14) Whenever you pray, seek for the will of God and not your own selfish or earthly desires. God has a great plan, which is there to give you an excellent future. What more are you waiting for? Now that you know the two chief secrets, make prayer with indomitable faith your lifestyle! PRAYER: My loving heavenly Father, thank You for revealing this truth to me. Take away my unbelief and instill strong faith in me. Help me Lord to always seek Your will for my life and pray according to it. When I pray, help me to have faith that You will answer my prayers. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

I have been associated with Jesus Calls since 1988. I used to suffer with breathing issues since childhood. When I was in class 12, I happened to attend Bro. D.G.S. Dhinakaran's meeting and was healed. I gave my life to Jesus. I passed class 12 with good results and by His grace, became the first graduate in my family and I have been serving as a teacher for 27 years and still counting.
I have two brothers and one younger sister. My sister Janaki was not blessed with a child even after 7 years of marriage. My mother used to visit Jesus Calls Anna Nagar Prayer Tower and attend the Tuesday Fasting Prayers to pray for my sister to get the gift of child. As my sister was 50 years old, Sis. Janaki doctors advised her to go for IVF and in September 2020 before going for that treatment, my mother went to the Anna Nagar Prayer Tower and received prayers from the prayer intercessors. Miraculously, she conceived. Though there was very little hope and lot of complications involved, by God's grace, two healthy babies began to grow in her womb. She had to undergo scan every 15 days. When she was in the fifth month, we were informed that the nasal bones of the babies were not formed and they might be mentally retarded children. We went to the Anna Nagar Prayer Tower every week and believed God for a miracle. The prayer intercessors assured us that the babies will be perfect gifts from God with no abnormality. We put our complete trust in the Lord. We kept claiming the promise, “Your eyes saw my unformed body” (Psalm 139:16). Even in the last scan, the doctors couldn't find any growth in the nasal bone. On May 19th 2021, my sister was blessed with twin girls with beautiful completely developed noses. God has done a miracle beyond science for us. The scan doctor declared that this is a medical miracle. The children have also gained weight more than expected and are in good health. Their names are Rofeca Joy and Hannah Joy. My mother made a vow that she will give her testimony at the Anna Nagar Prayer Tower and she fulfilled it. To our Lord, who has done this unfathomable miracle, we give all glory. We thank the Jesus Calls ministry, which has been a great blessing to encourage us and pray for us, helping us to believe and receive this blessing. - Yamini Shanthi, Chennai Your need might be similar or different, but our Lord Jesus is the same and will do miracles for you too!
