Jesus Calls International * May 2017


Dearly beloved in Christ, Greetings to you in the name of our loving Savior, Jesus Christ! It is my sincere prayer that this month of May will be a month of blessing and much rest for you. “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me...” (Psalm 138:8) Let this truth be your faith as you enter into this month. The Lord who provided, guided and protected you as the apple of His eye, will continue to provide, guide and protect you in this month too. Our God is an Almighty God (Genesis 17:1). He will take from His abundance and satisfy you. (Ephesians 3:19).

Bethesda... “Always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy.” (Philippians 1:4)

Bethesda was established in the year 1993 in obedience to the vision given by God to my father Bro. D.G.S. Dhinakaran. It is nearing 25 years of service. A lot of repairs need to be done to maintain it so that it can continue to be a blessing to people. I invite you to extend your support to meet the expenses of repairing and maintaining this Godgiven place according to the “leading of the Holy Spirit” in your heart. At Bethesda, Jesus Calls prayer intercessors are prepared and waiting to lovingly receive the people who come to pray for their various problems and needs. They pray with deep burden and anointing.

D

ear friend, this is not a time for us to worry or fear about what is going to happen? Or think what the Lord is going to do for us? God does everything only for our good (Rom. 8:28; Jer. 29:11). God has already heard all your prayers. Just praise Him, He will be with you always.

I will be with you, as I was with Joshua God is going to be with us like He was with Joshua. He says: I have already given you the victory in your hands. Receive victory over the city where you live in, where I have placed you. Don’t be worried, be strong and courageous, I am with you (Deu. 31:4-8; Josh. 1:3-6,9; 6:2). When God is with you, none of your prayers will go unanswered. (1 Cor. 15:57; 2 Cor. 2:14). God is going to specially answer every prayer of yours these days and we are going to celebrate the victory which Christ has won on the cross for our sake (1 Cor. 15:55-7; Col. 2:14,15; Heb. 2:9). Yes, we are going to celebrate and receive the victory from Jesus. Let's just praise Him for all the blessings which we have received through our Lord (Psalm 107:1; 136:1).

How Victory Comes? My friends, how and where are we going to see this victory? When Jesus saw the multitude of people, He was moved with compassion on them, because they were fainted, and scattered abroad, without a

shepherd (Matt. 9:36), Jesus Christ began to teach them many things (Mark 6:34) and He fed them all miraculously (Matt. 14:14-20). God wants to use you mightily to every single person whom you minister with.

Victory, Satisfaction Comes through God’s Word God wants to feed his people with the “bread of life” and it will give them a new life. His word is going to be special, His word is going to be an anointed one, and most importantly His word is everlasting. God is going to give words of wisdom through you, that will stay in the hearts of people (Matthew 4:4). Through His Word, God is going to fill each one, who is longing for Him and you will see His word fulfilling in your ministry and work place. Who said that He was the bread of life? Jesus Himself said that “I am the bread of life” and fulfilled it. “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world”(John 6:51,35). When people heard these words that came out of Jesus, Bible says, “And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth” (Luke 4:22). Again, Jesus began to teach by the sea side.

The crowd that gathered around him was plenty so that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the sea, while all the people were along the shore at the water's edge. And He taught them many things through the parables. (Mark 4:1; Matt. 13:2-5). The multitude of people came early in the morning to hear Him in the temple (Luke 21:37,38). Mary, the sister of Martha, sat at Jesus’ feet and rejoiced by hearing His word (Luke 10:39). In Mark 11:18, we see that the people were astonished at his doctrine. It is written in Mark 12:37, that the common people heard Him gladly. My Friend, God wants to do the same thing through you and me. When people hear His word through you, you are feeding them with God’s word and God Himself will stay in their hearts.

The importance of God’s Word “Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, `I am the Christ, and will deceive many.” (Matthew 24:4,5) These words say that in the last days, there will be words of deception, words that will say: You will have peace, but still, people find no peace and they will keep on searching for peace. Deceptive words and false prophecies are going around the world in these last days. Many times it pierces us and makes us feel so frustrated and depressed. We cry: Lord, what are we going to do? How am I supposed to live? What am I supposed to give my family? What am I supposed to feed all the children you have given me? What am I supposed to feed my church? These words are killing, isn’t it?

Read the Bible with Prayer Jesus wants to feed us with His “word of life”. So, we need to read the Bible more and more with prayer. Then, His living word will flow through each one of us. It is truly going to feed His people and satisfy them. After they receive His word they will long for nothing more. His word will satisfy all their desires and meet their needs (John 15:7; 1 John 5:14.15), because it is the “word of life” and it is the “word of resurrection”, as Jesus says that He Himself is the life and resurrection (Mic. 2:7; Isa. 55:10,11; John 5:26; 6:63; 11:25,26, 43,44; Mat. 8:8,13).

8

Jesus flows into the people as this living word. When the Spirit of God goes into the people you feed, we can feel rest assured nothing will come across our borders. No words of deception will be able to overtake us. No words of evil and negativity will be able to kill us, yes, and this word of life will keep flowing in us. Its written in Jeremiah 23:29 that, His word is like a fire. It will keep burning in our hearts. It will give us life. It is also like a hammer to all the words of deception that come against us. This fire filled word will consume all the evil and protect us; it is the word of life. It is a great blessing to keep this word in us and in all the people we minister to. When you feed people with this word of life, you will have twelve baskets remaining (Mark 6:43). You will be able to carry these 12 baskets full of bread for you and for your family.

Peace and Blessing will prevail We will experience an amazing peace of God while we minister and work for Him. The word which we speak and the peace of God will draw the people to God. The peace of God is going to spread throughout the city and country where we minister (Psalm 119:165). “Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed.” (Proverbs 11:11) Just as the city is destroyed by the words of the wicked, it will be exalted by the blessings of the upright. God blesses you with His word, when you speak that living word, your country, your city, your town, your family, your life will be blessed and be exalted. God’s blessing, peace and light will come upon the country and city where you minister. The mind of the serpent will be broken. We will stamp the Satan under our feet where we are going to see only victory. Dear friends, even at this young age, I want to do my best for Jesus. I pray that you too will carry the word of God in your mouth. Let us speak this “living word” to the dying world and make them live and bring peace, blessing, salvation unto them. Praise be unto God!

Vibin Varghese (2013–2017 B.Tech. Electrical and Electronics Engineering), Department of Electrical Technology I feel fortunate to be a student of Karunya University and I am grateful to God for bringing me here. After I came here, I grew both intellectually as well as spiritually. The morning assemblies helped me to come closer to God. The technical events and seminars have constantly helped me to boost my confidence and be a social person. My EEE department was always a source of inspiration for me. God has been leading and guiding me in all phase of my journey here and by His grace I am placed in Tech Mahindra. I would like to thank my parents, teachers and friends for all their support. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians-4:13) Lakkakula Kalyani (2014–2016 M.Tech. Computer Science and Engineering), Department of Computer Sciences Technology

I thank God for giving me an opportunity to do my M. Tech (Computer Science and Engineering) in Karunya University. I was having a desire to study in any one of the Christian colleges and God helped me to choose this University. After coming to Karunya, I got an exposure to the new methodology of learning things in my academics, because teaching is done by experienced faculty. Moreover, my relationship with God became closer than anyone also by attending morning assemblies, prayer cells and prayer meetings. As for me getting a job in an MNC was only a dream and I thought it’s impossible in my life, but God has blessed me with a placement in Capgemini and I got an opportunity to do my internship in the same company where I got placed. According to Matthew 19:26, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” In my life also, God made all my things possible through His Unending love, Amazing grace and Mercy. Life at Karunya is like a paradise on earth. I would have regretted my whole life if I didn’t join the Karunya University. I thank God for all His mercies in my life and I am happy to be a Karunyan.

P. Sarah (2013–2017 B.Tech. Biotechnology), Department of Biosciences and Technology

“For I know the plans I have for you” says the lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11). Though I had many different plans to choose my course, God made me to join B.Tech –Biotechnology in Karunya University. My stay in Karunya University was an amazing experience filled with God’s abundant blessings. In Karunya God moulded me in a perfect manner and started using me for His glory in many ways. As the Bible says in Lamentations 3:23, “His mercies begin fresh each day”, the morning counselling sessions served as a good start for the day by submitting the whole day in God’s hands. During my 1st year, I struggled a lot to study “Basics of Computing and Programming.” But when I prayed to God, God was with me in those tough times and enabled me to get 92% marks in Computer subject. I attended the company’s recuritment on the day one. To my surprise, God blessed me with a placement in Accenture Services India Pvt. Ltd. Thanks to all those professors, my parents and co-students who enabled me to come up with flying colours. All praises and glory be to Jesus alone.

Dearly beloved,

A

great river of joy flows in my heart as ink flows from my pen to write about the ultimate need of the hour. From individuals to nations everyone needs it. The whole world is thirsting for peace. Wherever you go in this world you can hear the cry for peace. Day by day there is an increasing need for peace. People are travelling miles and flying across nations and seas in search of peace. Philosophers, religionists, humanists and psychologists have declared that the most basic and at the same time the greatest and the most urgent need of our age is ‘peace’. The world is trying to ‘produce’ peace using various methods of training the mind but they have not succeeded much. But Jesus does not lay upon us the pressure of producing peace. He does not ask us to struggle hard or toil to produce peace. He promises to ‘give’ it to us freely as a gift. Which my friend is the easiest and the most beautiful way to get peace? Struggling to produce? Or Receive freely? Let us learn how to go to the fountain of peace and drink peace as much as we want from the abundance of flow from the Fountain of Peace. “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Let not your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27)

Look at these wonderful words of Jesus. He looks at us and says, “My children, My peace I ‘give’ to you. However my friend, there are many things in this world which destroys our peace. Let us identify them and set right with God to live a peaceful life in this world.

Sin Sin is the first thing that takes away our peace. But the good news is that our Lord Jesus has paid the price for our sins to be removed by His sacrifice on the cross. The blood of Jesus Christ is the price for our sin. It cleanses us from all our sins. So now let us cry out to God to wash us with His precious blood and transform us as His child (1 John 1:9). Remember, because you go through the cleansing power of the precious blood of Jesus, Satan has no right to condemn you. Just confess your sins to God (Proverbs 28:13) and the divine peace of Jesus will fill your heart and life right now.

Society Secondly, we lose our peace because of the problems we face in the society. Jesus went to a village called Samaria. There He became thirsty and sat by a well. There was no vessel to draw the water out. But then a Samaritan woman came there. And Jesus said, “Give me water to quench my thirst” but the woman said, “Don’t you know that I am a Samaritan, and you are a Jew; You are of a different nationality; you

are of a different tribe. How can you ask water from me? Can you ask water from this well which belongs to Samaritans?” (John 4:8, 9) Yes, Jesus could not get water because of these divisions. Today may be you have been denied a job in an office because of the discrimination due to social divisions existing in the office you applied for a job. Men may discriminate you and stop your blessings, but God will break these blocks of divisions, perform a miracle in your situations and bring peace in your heart . And then, Jesus looked at that woman and said “Dear lady, you can only give me water which will bring thirst again, but I Jesus, can give you water which will make you never thirst again” (John 4:10). And she immediately said to Him, “Sir, give me that water, that I thirst not, neither come here every day to draw water”. But Jesus said, “Go, and bring your husband”. She said, “I don’t have a husband.” Jesus looked into her life and saw the thirst in her life and said, “Woman, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband.” We can understand from what Jesus says that this woman was not treated well by the society. She was thirsting for real love and a true husband. She was thirsting for peace. Even today my friend, may be you too are thirsty for peace. May be you are in agony because of your spouse. Jesus knows your agony.The Samaritan woman said, “Truly sir, you are a prophet.” After saying this, she brought the whole village to Jesus (John 4:28-30). The One who looked at the life of the Samaritan woman, looks at your life also. He will quench your spiritual thirst and set right everything, transform your family life and give you peace. Your problems will be solved through Jesus Christ.

was focused only on serving food for Jesus and so became distracted from enjoying the presence of Jesus (Luke 10:39, 40). But her sister Mary was sitting at the feet of Jesus Christ always looking at Him and listening to His graceful and living words (Luke 4:22; John 6:63). Martha saw her and became very angry and she complained to Jesus, “Lord, she is sitting at your feet all the time; she is not helping me in cooking. Do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me”. That’s what happens in our life, isn’t it? We are accusing everybody, but we rarely pray to Jesus as Mary did. Because of that the accusing spirit and the condemning spirit came into Martha, and she was even condemning God. Today is your spirit accusing you? Are you saying, “Only I have to work in the family, and you are all enjoying?” Remember, that this attitude will only take you away from Jesus, and you will begin to condemn everyone. You will lose your peace. The Samaritan woman lost her husband and lost her peace. And Martha lost her love for her sister and lost her peace and was condemning her sister, and even Jesus. Alas, because of that the spirit of accusation, death came into that family. If we hate any of our family members in any way, we are murderers (1 John 3:15). Jesus loved that Samaritan woman and gave her love even though she refused to give him water. Jesus loved Martha who even condemned him, by resurrecting her brother when he was dead (John 11:44). When we do as Jesus did, all these things shall be added unto us (Mat. 6:33).

Finance

Loved ones

“And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.”(Luke 9:58)

Jesus went through the accusations in the family life also. Martha invited Jesus to her house and when Jesus came into her house with his disciples, she became very busy making arrangements. She

Another thing that destroys our peace is the financial problem. Jesus knows the pain of all those things that are destroying your peace. He knows your financial problems. He went through

these sufferings Himself as a human. Today He will help you. So do not be discouraged. Jesus sat in the boat of Simon and preached to the people (Luke 5:3-5). And then he looked at Simon’s heart. He knew that Simon was going through terrible financial trouble. The whole night he had been trying to fish but could not catch any. He could not earn any money; he did not know how to go home without any money. His heart was broken. He had lost his peace. But, Simon, in the midst of the agony, gave his boat to Jesus to preach to the people. After speaking to the people, Jesus said, “Simon, go into the deep and cast your net”. Yes, my friend; God has a plan, God has a time. Simon believed in Jesus and obeyed Him. He never said, “If I go fishing in the day, everybody will criticize me.” God may lead you through circumstances which are not natural, but it will be a supernatural guidance. Just do what the Holy Spirit says and give to God your best. Give your offering as Simon gave his boat to Jesus when he had nothing. Jesus led him to the deep and filled his nets with fish. His boat was full of fish. Then he had to signal to other boats. Jesus filled the other boats also. Yes, Jesus filled the boats of his relatives and friends also. God will fill your boat and all your friends and relatives so that nobody could criticize you or be jealous of you. He will bless in abundance the company, the office you work with, because of you. Today as you trust Jesus, as you give to his ministry, He will prosper you. He will take you to the new places into the deep. Do not be afraid. Believe him; God is going to lift you up.

Sickness Finally, sickness makes us to lose our peace. This woman with an issue of blood suffered much for 12 long years. The Bible says, she went from one doctor after another and spent all her money, but was not getting better. It rather grew worse

(Mark 5:25,26).. She was heartbroken and lost all her peace. It was at that time she heard that Jesus was passing by her village. There was a big crowd, but she was determined to go near to Him. She said, “If I may touch but His clothes, I shall be made well”. She came into the crowd and touched the hem of His garment. Instantaneously she was healed (Mark 5:34). “But He was pierced for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities: the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) Today you can have peace by receiving your healing through the wounds, the stripes of Jesus. God will use you to bring healing to others. My dear brother/sister, if you want to come out of your sinful life; if you want to come out of your family problem and overrule the problems which come through the society and other people, and if you want to come out of your financial problem, sickness, pain and receive peace through Jesus Christ, now ask Jesus to come into your heart and surrender your life totally to Him. Turn your heart to Jesus. Your hope in Jesus will not go in vain. Jesus will forgive your sins and quench your inner thirst and will give you a beautiful future, and a blessed family life. He will meet all your needs (Phil. 4:19). Call on the name of the Lord and you will be saved (Romans 10:13). Dear friend, the Lord is by your side. He is healing you right now. He is answering your prayers. God’s glory is coming upon you in this month. He is giving you brand new organs, brand new life, spirit, future and will lead you into a new way. Just believe Him and praise Him as you have received it now. (1 John 5:14, 15; Matt. 21:22; Mark 11:24). Read the Bible every day; Pray every day; Claim the promises in the Holy Bible for you and your family (2 Cor. 1:20); pray as a family and Jesus will do great things for you.

Testimony from Jacqueline Fernandes I am a prayer intercessor in the Canada Prayer Tower. Because of this, I have received immense blessings for my family. I requested a prayer intercessor to pray for me for a full-time job in the firm I worked part time. He prayed fervently and said, “The Lord is opening a full-time job in the place you are working, and you will honor God by giving a testimony in the Blessing meeting on Saturday.� I also sowed a financial seed offering to the Lord in faith to receive my harvest. Within four weeks, my supervisor called to tell me that I got the full time job offer which I had desired. It is truly a miracle. All glory and honor to Jesus.

Samiti for Education, Environment, Social and Health Action (SEESHA) is a non-profit, nongovernmental, humanitarian organisation founded by Dr. Paul Dhinakaran in 2003. This organisation was born as the fulfilment of a divine vision received by its founder based on the Scripture, “Share your food with the hungry and open your homes to the homeless poor. Give clothes to those who have nothing to wear, and do not refuse to help your own relatives” (Isaiah 58:7 ). Today, SEESHA impacts the lives of people in over 16 States of India, transforming 300,000 lives through SEESHA’s multifarious projects every year. Working with children, youth, women, senior citizens, persons in need of healthcare, differently-abled, and victims of natural disasters in the areas of education, health, environment and livelihood, SEESHA aims to equip individuals, families, and communities on the road to development. Support SEESHA’s projects and be a blessing to the underprivileged! To know more about SEESHA and contribute to a cause you believe in, visit www.seesha.org “A WONDERFUL AND USEFUL GIFT FROM SEESHA” “Every time I ask my parents for buying a new school bag, they would say that we don’t have money for such expenses. I would feel ashamed to go to school with an old, worn out bag when other children brought new things at the beginning of the year. When I joined the SEESHA Tuition Centre, I got a free school bag containing all the essential items for my schoolwork. I am very happy to have received this wonderful and useful gift from SEESHA. Today, I am able to continue my studies because of the motivation received through SEESHA’s gift.” - Premkumar, Chirala (Andhra Pradesh, India) There are many children like Premkumar who do not have even the most basic essentials needed for school. SEESHA wishes to enable 30,000 children go to school with a SEESHA School Kit this year. Each school kit is a treasure trove including a school bag, a lunch set, notebooks, art supplies, geometry set, pens, pencils, and other stationery items.

"As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt, I will show them wonders." (Micah 7:15).

G

od, who has created the whole universe, has given us a wonderful promise. He, who has said, “For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast” (Psalm 33:9) and “if you would believe you would see the glory of God (John11:40)”, is eagerly waiting to do wonders in our lives. We ought to hold on to Him with faith. He, who has promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23). He will also do it (I Thessalonians 5:24).

Does Wonders ‘You are the God who does wonders; You have declared Your strength among the peoples’ (Psalm 77:14). ‘He does great things past finding out, Yes, wonders without number’ (Job 9:10).

What wonders does He do?

was weeping with the thought that they had to die. The Lord said to her, “Fear not! Arise, lift up the lad and hold him with your hand, for I will make him a great nation. Don’t be troubled that everything is over. I am the Lord, who sees you. I would be with you and will do everything for you and make you into a blessed mother” (Genesis 21:16-18;16:13). A woman who was a sinner, stood at the Lord’s feet, weeping behind Him.She began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil. The Lord saw the love filled with faith that flooded out of the depth of her heart. When she, who was immersed in sin, soaked His feet with her tears and wiped them, The Lord forgave all her sins and He said, ‘"Your faith has saved you. Go in peace." (Luke 7:37-50). The Lord of wonders made the people happy by doing many wonders. That’s why the Bible says, ‘His name is wonderful’ (Judges 13:18), ‘He is wonderful’ (Isaiah 9:6) .He says,

Even after the ‘manner of women’ was over for Sarah, the Lord amazingly made her to bear a child (Genesis 18:11; 21:1,2). Hannah, wept in anguish and poured out her soul before the Lord; He remembered her and wonderfully made her to bear a son (I Samuel 1:10,19, 20). We see further, that after that, she was blessed with several children. The Lord also did a wonderful deed in the life of Elizabeth, who was advanced in age and then bore a son (Luke 1;13,57). God appeared to Hagar, who was wandering in the wilderness with her child with no hope. She

"Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?” (Jeremiah 32:27). Even today, our God of Might is able to do wonders in our lives. Whatever may be your sufferings or sicknesses or losses or sorrows; look up to Him with faith. Hold on to Him. Jesus, who does wonders, will heed to your prayers. He will show wonders in your life too.

Does wonders in the Deep ‘They see the works of the LORD, And His wonders in the deep’ (Psalm 107:24). Today, many people lament, “No money; no job; no child; no peace in the family; no joy; My income is quite good but I don’t know where all the money goes…’ and so on. But remember, God searches the heart (Jeremiah 17:10). His eyes are like a flame of fire (Revelation 1:14,2:18). They are the eyes that clearly see the depth of everybody’s heart. He is the God who works wonders in the depth. He will show wonders in your life too. Once a woman said to me, “Mother, I am working as a maid. I always used to argue and quarrel with the people in that household. I would cheat them in my works and spend my time in chewing beetle leaves. My husband was a drunkard and would come home fully drunk. I used to fight with him. But the Lord touched me through your message and now He is in my heart. I don’t fight any more and I don’t chew beetle leaves too. I am filled with divine peace and joy. Seeing my life, my husband too has come out of his drinking habit and has left his evil nature. Now both of us seek the Lord as a family and with joy. The Lord has changed us, who were sunk in the mire of sin and who were displeasing Him. He has washed and cleansed us with His sacred blood which He has shed on the cross.” Jesus who works wonders from the depth, lifted them up.

My dear sisters, do you want to be blessed thus? You should also learn to honour the Lord’s Words and read them diligently. The Lord is great. Whatever the LORD pleases He does. In heaven and in earth, In the seas and in all deep places (Psalm 135:6). He wants us to prosper in everything (III John 2). How did Peter, who was catching fish, become a catcher of men? He was filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:114). When he went to the Temple of God, he took the man, who was lame since birth, by the right hand and lifted him up, saying, ‘In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk’. Immediately, his feet and ankle bones received strength. Leaping up, he stood and walked. He entered the temple with them walking, leaping, and praising God (Acts 3:1-8). Peter, who was an illiterate, spoke about the Lord, boldly. Those who gladly received his word were baptized. That day, about three thousand souls were added (Acts 2:40,41). They brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, hoping that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.They were all healed! (Acts 5:15). Smith Wigglesworth, a great servant of God, had a big church. It was attended by a huge multitude of people. He really never knew how to preach. It was his wife who used to preach and He would take offerings and do other odd jobs in the church. One day, he heard about a great revival in a church in England where everyone was filled with the Holy Spirit and praised God. Immediately, he too decided to attend that church since he felt that there would be a great revival in his life. He attended a few meetings. Days passed by. He became dejected as he did not get filled with the anointing of the Spirit. He went to the godly lady, who had arranged the revival meetings and said to her, “Madam, I came here to receive the anointing; but I haven’t got it. So I am going back home…”

He asked her to pray for him. When she placed her hands on him and prayed for him with compassion, the Lord filled him. Yes, Smith Wigglesworth was waiting with thirst, for the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Filled with the Spirit, he began to praise the Lord in tongues. With great joy, he went back home and shared this happy news with his wife and children. His wife asked him to share God’s message in the church, that Sunday. He agreed. During the service as he began to speak, the power of the Lord came upon everyone. The congregation was filled with the power of the Holy Spirit and every one began to roll on the floor. They started praising the Lord. Wigglesworth’s wife thanked the Lord greatly saying, “This is not my husband Smith, but is a powerful sword used by my Lord”. Smith Wigglesworth lived with the same power till his old age. He glorified Jesus name through his mighty ministry. His church too began to expand. My dear sisters, don’t you need this profound experience? He, who has the ability to control the roaring of the sea in the depth, is able to give the same power to you, too. He will change you as a mighty sword and use you for the glory of His name. He will pour out the same power in your family too and bless you.

Declare His Wonders As we keep praising God, His presence will fill us (Psalm 22:3).The Lord says, “I am the LORD, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images’ (Isaiah 42:8; 48:11). Declare this Lord of Wonders to everyone. When the Samaritan woman, who was in miry sin received the forgiveness of sin and testified about her joy to others, many in that city became believers (John 4:28-30). Let us also arise as an army for Him. Even in my life, I was once an empty vessel. But after marriage, I began to serve my husband

faithfully and prayed for his ministry, earnestly. I was then very timid and shy. One day the Lord spoke to me and said, “How long will you say that you are ignorant? I am going to use you mightily in such a way in the future that you will tell that you have no time”. I was amused within, thinking how I would do ministry. My husband got his transfer to Chennai from his bank job in Mettur Dam. After coming to Chennai, we received a lot of letters in the ministry. I began to help him in the letter ministry in a small way. As days went by, the Lord expanded the ministry and opened doors to do greater work. He filled us with His power and began to use us by opening up doors to preach in Gospel meetings. Days went by! As I was heartbroken over my dear daughter’s sudden death in a cruel accident on May 21, 1986, the Lord said to me, “My daughter, don’t keep crying thinking of your daughter. I am going to use you for the women who languish in tears just like you. I will give you the knowledge and wisdom for that. I will use you in a new way”. It was after this, He gave me the grace to start the Esther Prayer Group, Women’s Conference, Family Blessing Meeting, and to write several books. As He said earlier, He has expanded the ministry in so many ways and sometimes I have to say “No time”. He has strengthened me also. He continues to use me for the glory of His name. You too should do whatever ministry that you get. The Lord, who has promised, ‘A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation’, will increase you and bless you. He will show His wonders from the depth. This wonderful God is with you. He will remove all your lack. He will use you mightily in the ministry. So, discard your lethargy, dejection and negligence. Arise and shine in these last days. The Lord God will show you wonders and make you happy.

Jesus calls ministry has been a blessing to me from my younger years . I've been in the US for the past 16 years. Currently, I live in Oklahoma with my wife and 3 daughters. I was doing well in my job and desired for a better job with a better position. I have been attending Jesus calls meetings at Dallas prayer tower for the past 5 years. Dr. Paul & Sis. Evangeline have been specifically praying for me to get a good job very soon. Dr.Paul had tearfully prayed and said that a job will come in search of me, and that I don't have to go looking for a job. Likewise, on January 30th 2017 a member of our church, called and asked me if I could help him by heading the research division in his company and on Feb 1st 2017 I joined this new job. All this was possible only through the grace of God, and because of the fervent and compassionate prayers of Dr. Paul Dhinakaran. I really thank God for this wonderful ministry! - Charles R. Yesudas.

BEAUTIFUL MIRACLES IN THE LIVES OF DEAR ONES WHO ATTEND OUR “BLESSING MEETINGS” Mrs. Mary, an Indian care-taker, had 3 lumps on her right breast. She had a test to check if it is cancer in about 3 weeks from our Blessing Meeting. However, she was attacked with fear and panic, even before she knew the results. During the meeting, she had a divine intervention. The Holy Spirit told her, “Mary, do not be worried because everything will be ok! Have no fear!” Immediately she got delivered from fear, worry, panic and also received peace in her heart with Jesus. After that when she did the biopsy at the hospital she had a clean report…Cancer free! Halleluiah! Mrs. Esther is a regular attendee of the Israel Prayer Tower. A few months ago, she came to pray and asked us to pray a blessing over her and to pray for her children. Though a widow, who suffered years of abuse from her deceased alcoholic husband, she always kept her hope and trust in Jesus for freedom from that situation. After her husband’s death, she left behind her son and daughter with relatives and traveled to Israel to work as a caretaker to provide for their college education. After working for 6 years in Israel, her teenage children began to drift away from the family and lost their direction in life. Her son dropped out of college and stayed at home doing nothing, spending time with street kids and getting into trouble. We prayed with Esther for her son’s transformation. A week later, Esther comes back to us overjoyed and in shock, to report that her son returned to college. Hallelujah for the mighty miracle power working of God! A short time later, her son and daughter attended a Christian conference and gave their life to Jesus, Praise God for His faithfulness! - Report from Bro.

W

hile there were news articles that flashed across different Media, across the world about the impact of oil prices fluctuating and the Stock prices of big corporations and GDP of nations hitting rock bottom, the desperation among the business community was overwhelming. However, the partners of Jesus Calls Ministry in the “Business Blessing plan” were experiencing something different! Below is a testimony of a partner from India testifying the goodness of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is a “living testimony” blessed through ‘Business Blessing Plan’ D. Jesudas from a small hamlet, Udupi in Karnataka, South India testifies, As a family we went through financial problems for 15 years, having lost my fishing business and health. In this situation, I started writing letters conveying my prayer requests to Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and the ‘Jesus Calls’ ministry. I visited the Prayer Tower in Bangalore city for prayers. It was there I enrolled myself in the “Business Blessing Plan”. I then went for the medical checkup and the doctors were amazed at my improvement. He said that since my health had so wonderfully improved, I could continue my fishing business. I was overjoyed beyond measure. Just a year ago, I got acquainted with a

leading company in the fishing business who took me on as his co-partner. Without any investments from my end, he accepted me. Now at the age of sixty, the money that I lost over the years has returned manifold to my life. My wife’s jewels which I mortgaged have been redeemed from the bank after twelve years. Earlier, we did not have a house of our own, but now God has blessed us with our own house. Another great blessing is that my daughter’s marriage is scheduled soon. What a wonderful and a great redeemer in Jesus we have. Praise God.

Jesudas, is one among more than 60,000 “Business Blessing Plan” partners who have decided to make Jesus Christ as their mentor to conduct business not only to earn a livelihood and support their families, but also to be a channel of blessing to the millions of broken-hearted people around the world. They have not allowed the economic conditions of their nation to influence their decision to work closely with the Jesus Calls ministry to touch billions of hurting people. With their partnership, the Jesus Calls Ministry is wiping away the tears of such people and bringing them hope through the various free services of the Ministry, round-the-clock 24/7 Telephone Prayer services, Counseling prayer from 8am to 8pm at 108 Prayer Towers all over the World, Web and Social
