This year’s Dynamic Kids Camp was a huge success as more than six thousand darling children participated in it and tasted the love of Jesus. We were so blessed to see their little faces light up with the gospel of Christ and to witness how they gave their hearts to follow Jesus, to learn about Him and to receive His joy and even His anointing. They went home with their hearts and lives full of the joy of the Lord. All this was possible only through the sacrificial giving of partners like you. God will prosper you according to Proverbs 11:25,

“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”

Because you have refreshed these little children, God will refresh you and make sure that you prosper and have no lack in your life and in your home. Thank you once again for making this year’s Dynamic Kids Camp possible.

This year, the Dynamic Kids Camp was conducted in all the Jesus Calls Prayer Towers across India for 6 days under the theme “Serve one another” (Galatians 5:13) for children between the age group of 4 to 12 years. It was conducted in 12 different regions in 4 different languages, namely English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu reaching around 6000 children.

2

The children were divided into five groups - the Beginner, Primary, Junior, Intermediate and Senior and were mentored with theme songs, Biblical lessons and stories, Crafts, Activities, Memory Verses, Bible Quizzes and Prayers on all the 7 days. They eagerly participated every day and grew in the knowledge of the Word of God and also learnt the importance of prayer through the various sessions of the programme.

Here below are a few experiences shared by the kids who attended the DKC:

The Dynamic Kids Camp was a huge blessing to me as I was filled with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. I was taught many inspiring stories of missionaries and also sang songs which have touched me deeply and made me understand the truth in a simple yet powerful way. I prayed that I should get good marks in my tenth board exam and God has answered my prayers by making me score well in my exams. I especially thank God for helping me experience Him in an intimate way. I prayed that I should be given the opportunity to do compering on the final day and God granted my request. All praise be to God.

This is the first time I have attended the Dynamic Kids Camp in Jesus Calls Hyderabad Prayer Tower. I also brought my friends to the Camp. God taught me more about Him through so many new stories shared during devotion and in regular DKC classes. Through this year's theme, I have learnt how to serve one another with God's love, humility and talents given to me by Him. We had Anointing Session also on Day 4 and I was touched by the Lord’s presence. Thanks, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran family and Jesus Calls Hyderabad Prayer Tower for conducting a fun-filled Camp for Kids like me. I am truly Blessed.

I have attended the Dynamic Kids Camp in Jesus calls Frazer Town Prayer Tower. It helped me to know about Jesus and to understand that He is my good friend. It was a good time to grow in spiritual life and I enjoyed being part of every activity.

In the Dynamic Kids Camp I have learnt that when I walk with Jesus, He will make me victorious in all areas of my life. I am encouraged to do my best in all that I do so that I will glorify God’s name alone.

Yes, God has a ‘time’ for everything. A time and a season for things to happen in a person's life as planned by Him. God does this, so that the person’s life and soul will become beautiful. God can operate these in a person’s life only if that person commits one’s life to Him and waits for Him to act. My friend, it is not just the things that you receive from this world that makes you secure in the will of God. But it is how well your soul is seasoned in God that reveals His will being perfected ‘in’ your life and ‘through’ your life. When your soul lives, you will also live your life in abundance.

Therefore, you and I, ought to follow the timetable of God and the path which He has laid for us. To help us in this regard, God has given us His Holy Spirit. In Romans 8:26,27 and in John 14:26 we read that, “The Holy Spirit prays through us and brings us into the will of God.” And in John 16:13 we read that “The Holy Spirit (who is in us) leads us into all truth” and into the future which God has prepared for us. According to these verses, the Holy Spirit Himself will reveal God’s purposes for your future and will beautifully lead you into it. That is when everything will fall into place in your life. So, just surrender to the will of God for His marvelous and beautiful works to be done in your life. What happens when you walk according to God’s will and timing?

EVERYTHING WILL BE RESTORED

Our God is the God of restoration. When you walk according to His will and timing, firstly, He restores everything in your life.

1 Peter 5:10 says, “And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you.”

4

Accordingly, the Lord Himself will restore you again. He will make you strong, firm and steadfast. Nothing in this world can shake you!

Maybe as you are reading this, you may have lost your hope to survive. Maybe you feel that you are a failure and are depressed lonely, abandoned or overwhelmed due to guilt and shame; Whatever struggle you may be going through do not give up. Put your trust in Jesus and call out to Him; my friend, surely He will come to you and restore you again to become a beautiful soul.

According to Jeremiah 30:17, “The Lord will restore you to health and heal your wounds.” Yes, He will restore your body, your soul, your relationships, your finances, and your joy. You will no longer be called a ‘desolate’ or a ‘deserted’ person for the Lord cares for you.

The Lord Jesus says, “Come to Me all you heavy laden and I will give you rest. I will restore everything for you.” What a loving God we have! This Lord Jesus is your only hope, my friend. Go to Him in prayer and He will give you life in abundance. He will save you from your sins. He will heal your body. He will build your family life. He will give you financial blessings. He will bless you with a home. He will give you eternal life and will open the doors of heaven for you.

Here's a wonderful testimony about how God beautifully restored the young girl, Rachna’s life:

Rachna was a sickly child from her birth. From the age of six months, she was under constant medication. Doctors diagnosed that she was having liver problems and she needed blood transfusion. She was treated in different hospitals but was not cured. She was unable to eat properly and she couldn't go to school regularly. Her studies were badly affected. She was unable to sleep at night. She couldn't socialize with anyone and so she

always kept to herself. Her parents were worried about her future. All their days were filled with agony. But Rachna managed to pass her 10th board exam in 2nd division. Eighteen long years passed by but there was no end to her physical suffering. She was always in and out of hospitals. At this juncture, in the year 2020 they heard about the Jesus Calls Prayer Festival which was being held in Bilaspur. With great expectations, they attended that meeting. On the 2nd day of the meeting, during the prayer time amidst the multiple thousands of people, the Lord showed me the name 'Rachna’ as I was ministering from the public platform. I prophesied calling out her name in public saying, "Rachna, you have problems in the liver. Jesus heals you right now." I had never met her nor her parents before. Her family was shocked because they had never shared her liver condition with anybody. It was indeed the Holy Spirit who made me prophesy her exact condition and got her delivered. From that day on, Rachna recovered fully well without any medication. She wrote her 12th exam and got 72% marks. The people around her were amazed by her improvement. Years have passed by and Rachna still continues to be absolutely healthy just like any other healthy girl would be. Now she is doing her graduate studies. As a family they are Family Blessing Plan partners of the Jesus Calls Ministry and both their children are Young Partners. All glory be to the Lord who has restored everything in Rachna’s life.

My friend, God will also restore every blessing that you have lost in your life and will turn your sorrows into joy.

Everything will work unto Good

Secondly, as Romans 8:28 says, when you love the Lord with all your heart and live according to His purpose, He will work all things in your life together for good and make your life beautiful.

Jesus Calls International | July 2023 | www.jesuscalls.org 5

Isaiah 61:7 says, “Instead of your shame, you will receive a double portion. And instead of disgrace, you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land (family) and everlasting joy will be yours.” This is God's plan for you, my friend.

Have you been looked down upon by people? Are you are going through shame in your family, or in your school or college or in your workplace or even in your church? Or, are you facing shame due to the loss in your business or due to the money lenders? Take heart, my friend! Today the Lord Jesus promises you that He is going to restore everything in double measure. He says in Zephaniah 3:19, “I will give you praise and honor in the places you have suffered shame.” Glory be to the Lord for His unending mercies!

In Genesis 26, we see that Isaac was relentlessly pursued by King Abimelech’s people and the locals and was hindered from digging a well in the land. They created all sorts of problems and disputes for Isaac and he was finding it difficult to use the water from the wells he had tediously dug. Today, like Isaac, are you also being pursued by wicked and jealous people? Is someone or the other rising up just to ruin everything you have built through your past hard work? Are you in pain because of the rumors that people are spreading about you unnecessarily? Even though you have lived righteously before God and man, are you going through shame and suffering. The Lord Jesus understands your pain because He has carried all such shame on the cross for you.

Though, He knew no sin, He became sin for us.

They scoffed Him and accused Him falsely. So, Jesus does understand your agony. They put a crown of thorns on His head and brutally crucified Him. But the Lord gloriously rose up from the dead and He ascended into heaven, and now He has a crown of glory on His head.

Likewise, God will raise you up in double measure. You will be honored with all the joy of heaven in the same place where you went through shame.

My father was working in a secular National Institution, and he was the head of a branch, and his branch did exceptionally well. But when the promotion time came, though his name was listed on top, his boss, who did not like him because he preached about the Lord Jesus, struck off his name from the promotion list. But somehow the higher official called for that list and noticed that my father’s name was struck off. This higher official called my father separately and asked him, “If I have to promote you, what would you say in your defense?” My father listed all his achievements, and the official sent him away. He then called for my father’s immediate boss and made him write my father’s name again on the promotion list by his own hand to repeal the injustice done. My father received his promotion and many other promotions. Eventually the man who had tried to withhold the promotion had to work under my father having lost his own promotions. Yes indeed, God will work together all the good and will bless you double-fold.

Everything will be Perfected

Thirdly, God will complete to perfection that which He has begun in your life and will grant you a total restoration of blessings. Psalm 138:8 says, "The Lord will perfect everything concerning you.”

We see in Job’s life that when Job lost everything in life, the Lord gave him the opportunity to pray for his friends. They were the friends who criticized him

Jesus Calls International | July 2023 | www.jesuscalls.org 6

when he needed them the most and found unjust fault with him. But when Job prayed for his accusing friends, God blessed Job. He gave back everything he had lost, in double measure (Job 42:10). Likewise, whatever the Lord has begun to do within you, He will complete it to perfection as He is the Author and the Finisher of your faith and will make you restore your fortune in double measure. I would like to share with you the testimony of dear sister, Tamilselvi in her own words: "My name is Tamilselvi. I belong to a family that does not know God. Married in 1993, I have a son and a daughter. We faced much poverty in the family. We were unable to provide for the children. I had thoughts of ending my life along with my children. Then I heard about the Jesus Calls Prayer Festival that was going on in the ground nearby through a familiar person and I also participated in the meeting. During the prayer, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran called my name and said,

“Tamilselvi the Lord loves you. Take away unnecessary thoughts. The Lord will exalt you and raise your head before those whom you underwent shame.” After that prayer, all the tormenting thoughts in my mind disappeared. I then joined my family in the Jesus Calls - Family Blessing Plan, Business Blessing Plan and also

enrolled my children in the Young Partners' Plan. The Lord gave success to my children in their studies. My son completed MCA and my daughter completed BBA. Moreover, my daughter's marriage went well. We as a family have accepted the Lord as our Savior. Glory be to God.”

Beautiful testimony, isn’t it? The Lord not only restored their blessings but also their souls for His Kingdom. This same God wants to bestow upon you, His double-fold blessings. Everything you have lost in life will be restored beautifully by the mighty hand of God because He makes everything beautiful in its time!

PRAYER

Loving Heavenly Father, thank You for Your promise to make everything beautiful in my life and build my life again. Lord, restore everything I have lost in my life. Grant me a double portion of Your blessing in the same place where I was put to shame. Lord, perfect everything concerning me and lift my head high before the people who have dealt with me falsely and wickedly. Let my life be restored and established before all eyes to see and glorify Your name. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

TELEPHONE PRAYER TOWER

The Telephone Prayer Tower has been a ‘lifesaver’ to several lakhs of people who have reached out for prayer support in desperate situations. Many are the testimonies! Thanks to the Prayer Intercessors who are available to pray continuously in shifts 24X7. Since there is a surge in the number of calls and to prevent missing out on any of these calls, we are now investing in recruiting and training more people to pray in different languages as well as expanding the number of call lines and enhancing the automated technologies which will help us serve the people better. This project would cost us around US $ 35 million. We are praying and believing that God will raise the right people to support us in this mission. You could also join hands with us in making this project happen for the glory of God.

WEBSITE & APP SERVICE

With the popularity of the Internet and mobile device, skyrocketing, the Jesus Calls Website and App services have been a great source of strength to millions across the Nation. This is just the beginning! We are now in the process of developing a new website and App to maximise the quality and value of the application. For this, we need to strengthen the team working on this crucial project and provide the necessary resources for the same. The estimated cost for this project would be US $ 7.5 million. Our only aim is to ensure that everything within the application is optimized to facilitate the best user experience and thus higher engagement, for the glory of God. This will provide a great opportunity for several people from different parts of the Nation to have access at the same time to countless messages, songs, meditations on the Word of God and prayers by the Dhinakarans. Please visit our website and download the App to enjoy the new features. You can also render your financial support towards this project and be a blessing to many.

PRAYER OPERATIONS CENTRE

Prayer Operations Centre developments are still in progress. This Centre is vital because all our major ministry operations including producing television and social media programmes, correspondence through letters and emails, Telephone prayer services and also training of evangelists to minister to people will all be happening from here! The total estimated cost of this project around US $ 200 million. We truly believe that your ongoing support towards this mission will help us complete this project as early as possible and glorify God.

Jesus Calls International | July 2023 | www.jesuscalls.org 8

NEW PRAYER TOWERS BUILDING FUND

We are in the process of transforming the Prayer Tower buildings situated in the prime cities of Trivandrum and Hyderabad with the sole purpose of sharing the love of Christ with more people in and around the states of Kerala and Telangana through unceasing intercession and prayer. This project would cost us around US $ 35 million. If you feel led to give to this cause, you are most welcome to do so and help us further the Kingdom of God in these places.

UPCOMING EVENTS

The Lord has clearly instructed us to raise more Prayer Intercessors and Ambassadors since it is through them that a mighty wave of His power will sweep across countries and touch the hearts of the people. Keeping this as our primary focus, we are planning on recruiting and training many more Prayer Intercessors and Ambassadors through the Mission Training Programme and Ambassador Conferences to help them minister to the people with power and with love and compassion. Recently we concluded the Mission Training Programme for the staff in Tamil Nadu, Southern and Western regions. We are also retaining our full-time Prayer Intercessors in every region, this year and visioning them. Through this, we aim to multiply today's reaching of 6 lakh people per month. The estimated cost for this project would be US $ 50 million. Would you support this mission, as we obey the Lord and be a blessing to many through these Prayer Intercessors and Ambassadors? With a grateful heart, we will be praying as a team in all the Conferences for all those who sponsor this project to be blessed.

Your contribution of any size towards these projects will indeed make a huge impact on the Ministry and on the lives that are touched.

“If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is My disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.” (Matthew 10:42)

MIRACULOUSLY HEALED

Last month, I sent a prayer request to Jesus Calls United Kingdom on behalf of my older brother, Mr. Lalu Abraham, who was in serious condition and spent more than a month in a hospital setting on ventilator support. During that time, his willingness to continue in life support were all gone. I heard about the Jesus Calls Blessing Prayer Meeting, which is conducted every Saturday at 6:30 p.m. (UK time). I decided to attend and share my prayer request. In a few days, by the Grace of God and the compassion of our Lord Jesus Christ, my brother was miraculously released from the Critical Care Unit after a month on ventilator support, and he has since been let go from the hospital. Now my brother can speak and recognise people. I thank the Lord Jesus for this wonderful miracle and I would like to thank the Jesus Calls United Kingdom for their continued prayer support. All glory to God.

DISPUTES MIRACULOUSLY RESOLVED

Due to a property dispute, my parents were forced to appear in court. It was a difficult and trying time for us as a family since we were abroad and there was no one to guide them. In addition, this was the first time that they were to appear in a court. My parents are an elderly couple. They were deeply devastated of the situation they had to go through. I decided to put in my prayer request in the Jesus Calls Saturday Blessing Meeting which was on the 1st of April 2023. The Prayer Intercessor along with the partners in the meeting prayed for my request. On Tuesday the 4th of April morning, my parents received call from advocate saying that there was no need for them to enter the court as the case was compromised. All glory to God. I thank the Jesus Calls Ministries and the prayers of the intercessor for their support and love during this trying time. Praise be to God.

BLESSING MEETING

Dear friend, this month, God wants to gift you with a pure and blameless heart. Are you ready to claim this blessing and start living a blameless life?

In order to walk into this blessing, God wants you to nurture three important qualities which are found in 2 Chronicles Chapter 19 where the entire Chapter is about King Jehoshaphat’s advice to the Levites, priests and the heads of Israelite families urging them to follow the three commands from the Lord.

Fear the Lord and do justice

“Consider carefully what you do, because you are not judging for mere mortals but for the Lord, who is with you whenever you give a verdict. Now let the fear of the Lord be on you. Judge carefully, for with the Lord our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery.”

(2 Chronicles 19:6,7)

God has called you for a unique purpose. He has placed you in specific positions in your family; in your job, in the society and in the Ministry. The above verse implies that whatever you do, you should discern within yourself if the Lord will be pleased with your actions. In other

words, always do what is right before the Lord, fearing Him so that you will not show partiality to anyone in particular but fulfill your positions in truth and justice. You are serving the Almighty God Himself and not mortals! In your workplace too, do your work as unto God and not unto men or to gain titles and promotions. When you thus try to please God in all your actions and endeavours, everything that concerns you will fall into place at the right time.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time.

(1 Peter 5:6)

I remember an incident that happened many years back. When I was new to the ministry, I always had the desire to minister like my husband and my inlaws, but I couldn’t do so. One day, a prophetess came to our house and while praying, she told me the exact prayers of my heart about wanting to minister like my family members. She advised me that God would use me the way He made me. She said that millions

Jesus Calls International | July 2023 | www.jesuscalls.org 12

will be touched through my soft voice and that I should not ask God to make me minister like others. From that day onwards, my prayer changed knowing that God wanted me just as I am. True to His words, God has been faithfully using me to touch millions. Now when I look back, I realise how special and unique God’s calling is and that I should always please Him and not men.

Serve the Lord faithfully and wholeheartedly

“You must serve faithfully and wholeheartedly in the fear of the Lord. In every case that comes before you from your people who live in the cities-whether bloodshed or other concerns of the law, commands, decrees or regulations - you are to warn them not to sin against the Lord; otherwise, His wrath will come on you and your people. Do this, and you will not sin.” (2 Chronicles 19:9,10)

God is searching for men who are faithful, not famous! The second piece of advice that Jehoshaphat gives the judges is to serve faithfully and wholeheartedly in the fear of the Lord. In Genesis 6:9, we read that “Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God.” In Numbers 32:11,12 we find the Lord saying, “Because they have not followed Me wholeheartedly, not one of those who were twenty years old or more when they came up out of Egypt will see the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacobnot one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, for they followed the Lord wholeheartedly.” In both cases, we see how the Lord desires and longs for the people to be faithful and to serve Him wholeheartedly. Man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart!

When we think of faithfulness, Ruth can be the best example in the Bible. She devoted her entire life to taking care of her mother-in-law and faithfully worked to provide for her. In Ruth 3:10 Boaz says to Ruth, ‘“The Lord bless you, my daughter,” he replied. “This kindness is greater than that which you showed earlier.”’ Indeed, the Lord blessed Ruth for her faithful action.

Like these great heroes of the Bible, you too should strive to be faithful in all that you do and serve the Lord wholeheartedly.

Speaking of our actions being pleasing before God, I am reminded of an incident that happened when my daughter, Stella Ramola (Sweety) was a very little girl like Katie. I used to scold her saying a bad word that I never knew would have an impact on her. One day, during a birthday prayer meeting for my father-in-law, Dr. D.G.S Dhinakaran, my daughter, Sweety was being very naughty. She wanted to run to her grandfather somehow. But there was a Jesus Calls Evangelist who tried to hold her back. So, she became furious and shouted that bad word against that servant of God. Everyone known to us was shocked to hear her speak that way. That was when I realised how much I should fear God and abstain from such foul language. That was the last time I used that word.

Dear friend, this is how the Lord wants us to be faithful to Him in everything we say or do - be it big or small or at home or at work.

Be courageous to do the right things “Act with courage, and may the Lord be with those who do well.”

(2 Chronicles 19:11)

The third thing God wants you to do is to be courageous. When you fear God and when you are faithful to Him, you need not fear any man . You will be bold and courageous. We see how Caleb and Joshua were courageous because they feared the Lord and knew that the fear of men is a sin. That is why what seemed impossible for the other Israelites seemed possible for Joshua and Caleb. In the same way, you should also be bold and always be ready to do what God has called you to do.

When you are thus dedicated to the Lord, God promises to give you a pure and blameless heart and will confess before His angels that you are righteous like how He confessed about Job.

PRAYER:

Loving Father, Lord, thank You for this promise of a pure and blameless heart. All I desire in this world is to have a heart that will seek You wholeheartedly and faithfully. Lord, help me to fear You and be courageous to do what You have called me to do. May I always find favour in Your sight so that I can glorify Your name. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

Jesus Calls International | July 2023 | www.jesuscalls.org 13

Yes, as you have made every godly endeavour of the ministry beautiful and a blessing to several thousands and thousands of people, your life is being made beautiful by the hand of God. May He make your name great and continue to keep you as a channel of blessing!

I am sharing with you the praise points and the ministry highlights to praise God and also pray with you.

PRAYER OPERATIONS

AND TRAINING CENTRE

Every month more than 7 million prayer requests reach us through the various Ministry platforms. In order to handle and pray for these requests more effectively, we are now enhancing the Jesus Calls services infrastructure and establishing the Prayer Operations Centre which will be housing more technologically sound Telephone Prayer Tower set up all across the country along with enhanced 4K video and digital media production facilities with strong manpower,

Jesus Calls International | July 2023 | www.jesuscalls.org 15

employing nearly 200 more staff in the Prayer Towers nationwide as well as in the Media Centre, Prayer Call Centre and Prayer Training Centre. To facilitate the operations of these missions across the country, the Prayer Operation Centre, Prayer Training Centre and Operations Management Centre are being established at the JC house which is opposite the Beach Railway Station at Chennai. The estimated cost for this project is around US $ 80 million.

We are also looking forward to constructing new buildings in the prime cities of Hyderabad, Nagercoil and Trivandrum. This huge project would cost us about US $ 120 million in total. It will be awesome if you could join hands with us in these missions and together accomplish in spreading the love of Christ to the millions.

NEW TECHNOLOGIES

Through the Telephone Prayer Tower, we are available to help you around the clock. Due to the increase in calls and our inability to answer them all, we are currently spending money on recruiting and equipping multilingual staff, purchasing more phone lines, and developing new technologies that will allow us to serve you more quickly and effectively. For thousands of people, the Telephone Prayer Tower has been a life-saving intervention from God. Do lend your hand to support this cause and you will be blessed.

In order to have a comforting and life-giving word for your precise need, we are developing a new Website and App. This will enable you to connect with our ministry from anywhere at any time. Pray that these technologies would help us reach the countless souls who need to be brought into the Lord’ fold. Support us as the Lord leads you and become a blessing.

*Special Days

* I fondly remember my father, Dr. D.G.S Dhinakaran whose birthday falls on 1st July. I covet your valuable prayers for our family to carry on his legacy in fulfilling the God-given ministry of Jesus Calls according to God’s will.

* My son Samuel Dhinakaran celebrates his birthday on July 15. I request your prayers for God’s anointing and leading on him as he is the Vice Chairperson, Operations, Jesus Calls ministry and also heads the UTurn Ministry. God has been using him uniquely in the ministry for His kingdom purposes. I would like to share a few to thank God with you for His faithfulness:

Samuel Dhinakaran has shared God’s word in several meetings in India and overseas.

God has done mighty miracles through him in those meetings.

Samuel has also inspired many youths to grow in God and in His holiness and has organised several UTurn events in different places in the country.

He has been answering the questions of many youngsters who reach out to him through Question & Answers programmes in the Family Channel thus clearing their doubts biblically.

Please do pray that he continues to be a blessing to millions.

My beloved ministry partner, taking everything into account, I would thank you once again for all your love and faithfulness. I pray that your soul will flourish like a well-watered garden and beautified by the hand of the Lord to be a blessing in His Kingdom.

God will make everything beautiful in its time! Your brother who prays for you, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran

Mrs. Priya Rajesh was worried about her elder sister Mrs. Jothi as she was not blessed with a child even after 13 years of marriage. Everyone in the family was so dejected that they even stopped celebrating special occasions together.

Priya resides in Tambaram, near Chennai and she was aware of the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower in Tambaram. She also watched the Jesus Calls television programmes regularly and had sponsored many programmes as it was her habit to do so on her children’s birthdays.

Priya's elder sister Jothi lived in Ashok Nagar, Chennai. Her husband Mr. Balaji worked abroad. Priya was very upset that even though Jothi had all the other blessings in her life she was not blessed with a child. So, Priya kept praying with a burden for her sister to be blessed with the gift of a child. She also sponsored Jesus Calls TV programme on behalf of her sister, in faith,

believing for a miracle to happen soon. What a wonder!

After 13 years of marriage, God miraculously blessed the womb of Mrs. Jothi Balaji and she gave birth to a baby boy in June 2022. They are now all very happy as a family for the blessing that they have received from God Almighty especially Mrs. Priya as she had been sponsoring many TV programmes as thanksgiving to the Lord. She shared this marvellous testimony at the Tambaram Prayer Tower for the glory of God.

Sis. Priya’s act of faith in sponsoring the TV programmes was seen and rewarded by God as her sister got blessed with the fruit of a womb. You too can receive such miracles in your life if you believe! By sponsoring a programme, you are not only piling up blessings for yourself and your family but also for your future generations since there are a lot of viewers who are being blessed by your single contribution.

We look for signs in several situations of our day-to-day lives, especially in those that determine our future. In the process of finding the right sign, we tend to get confused and even frustrated at times. Many questions arise in our mind - which job to choose or whether to stay in a particular job or move to some other job; which partner to choose and so on and so forth. These are some of the life-changing decisions that we have to take.

In such cases, how do you know the right sign amidst the many signs to proceed in the right direction? Let us look at it in detail.

WORLDY SIGNS

Many times, we look for signs only in particular places where we are drawn to. If it is a career, we set our standards and look for a well-paid job. If it is

a relationship, we seek signs according to the yardstick we have made in our minds concerning our ideal partner. Sometimes, I have had young boys coming to me to pray that they would get married to the girl they like. Some have even shown me their picture and have requested me to lay hands on it and pray. They would want me to bless the decisions that they have made. But I would only lay hands on the heads of such young men and pray that they would be led into the beautiful will of God.

When we look for favourable signs in order that our wishes and decisions will be fulfilled, it becomes worldly signs. Galatians 5:17 beautifully distinguishes between worldly signs and godly signs: “For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.”

Jesus Calls International | July 2023 | www.jesuscalls.org 20

The same chapter in verse 16 says,

"So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.”

Yes, the flesh and the Spirit are contradictory to each other. When you look for signs in this world, the worldly signs will always make you look for only worldly things and the things of the flesh. It will only make you look for what he or she is wearing; or if they are beautiful or not or their educational qualification and so on. All these will be based on your yardsticks or decisions. But, my friend, godly signs act differently. They point you towards godly things. Let me explain this to you.

GODLY SIGNS

In Genesis Chapter 28, we see that Jacob ran away from his house fearing for his life, leaving behind everything. At the same time, he was also desperate to be blessed in life. God never forsook Jacob. He met him at his lowest place and blessed him with a vision where he saw angels of God ascending and descending the stairs to heaven. The Lord then promised Jacob in Genesis 28:14 that his descendants will be like the dusts of the earth and that he will spread out to the West and to the east and to the North and South. He also promised Jacob that all peoples on Earth will be blessed through him and his offspring. What a glorious blessing from the Lord!

God thus showed Jacob a godly sign concerning his future. This sign revealed to Jacob that God is in control of his life and that He will lead him to the right place. Once Jacob believed and received this promise from God, every blessing began to unlock one by one in his life. He found his wife, the girl of his dreams immediately without the struggle to find her. His uncle received him with love and also gave him a job. Finally, his brother, Esau who hated him so much, forgave him and made peace with him. Because of the blessing of God, every situation, even the ones that were against Jacob, turned in his favour. This same God who favoured and blessed Jacob will also lead you into the beautiful future He has in store for you. This will be your godly sign. Claim this blessing, my friend, and wait for your godly sign at the feet of the Lord forsaking your own yardsticks and desires. You will

then be led by the Lord beautifully.

Another example from the Bible would be Prophet Samuel. When this prophet went to anoint God’s appointed King of Israel, he was looking for someone with a physical stature like that of a King. But God rejected all the sons of Jessie, even though they were majestic in appearance. God said to Prophet Samuel, “I am looking into the heart of the man whom I have ordained as king and not his outward appearance.” Yes, the worldly sign is like the face of a man. But godly sign looks into the heart of a man and it reveals what is on the inside of a person. God chooses a person for you because of their heart. This is what God looks at! These signs will come to you saying, “This is the promised land for you” when you are about to find the right partner or find a right place or career to settle.

So, when you dedicate yourself to godly signs from the Lord, it will come to you at the right time through a servant of God, as it did for David through the Prophet Samuel. Or it might come through visions like that of Jacob. Or it might also come through the Word of God. However it comes, this divine sign will cause the peace of God to fill you. Your duty is to wait for the sign from God and say, “Lord, let not my will be done. I want to know Your will and go according to the same.” When you thus empty your desire and give yourself up to God's will, then the Lord will reveal His sign to you.

Since some decisions are crucial in life, never treat them lightly by following the signs of the world. Instead, walk by the Spirit and keep on praying, waiting at the feet of the Lord for His will to be revealed. Every blessing will then flow into your life and you will prosper!

PRAYER

Loving Lord Jesus, Train my heart to not to listen to the signs of the world. Not to look at outward appearance but to be led by Your Spirit. Lord, help me to wait at Your feet and look for godly ways to be fulfilled in my life. Lord, grant me the grace to wait patiently for Your will to be revealed and to honour Your plans and purposes for my life through my actions. Lord, open my eyes and help me to feel great peace regarding Your ways. Lead me into Your perfect will and plan. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

Children are the future of the family, the society, and the country at large. They are the leaders of tomorrow. What we sow into their lives today is what will grow in the future and determine if they will give us shade or suffering in our older days. Since they are such an invaluable asset in our lives, there is so much a need for a promise of empowerment, exceptional grace and excellence in all aspects concerning their lives.

It was on July 25, 1985, that the Jesus Calls Young Partner’s Plan was born. According to the Lord’s command, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran has been tirelessly working toward the vision of covering little children and youngsters every day in prayer so that they can enjoy God’s blessings and divine protection.

This edition celebrates 38 years of Young Partners’ Plan which has been praying incessantly for several precious children and youngsters across the globe for their wisdom, prosperity and protection. We are happy to share with you a beautiful testimony of a lovely couple whose children were miraculously healed and blessed beyond measure.

BURDENS TURNED INTO BLESSINGS

Mr. Emmanuel and his wife, Sudha were a happy family blessed with three children, Victor, Priya Mariaselvarasi and Vivek Jesuraja. Suddenly, Mr. Emmanuel’s elder sister passed away leaving behind her three children with no one to care.

Mr. Emmanuel and his wife took pity on those children and took them into their home as their own children.

This is proof of how God brings out

diamonds in the furnace of distress! Yes, Mr. Emmanuel and his wife were being moulded into angels who sheltered the children who lost a family. Yet, with their decision came a huge burden.

Providing for one child is so challenging these days. Can you imagine raising six children?

The couple were doubly burdened. To add to their problem, four years back, their daughter Priya Maria selvarasi was bitten by

22

an insect under a mango tree while she was playing under it and developed an allergic reaction to it. Initially, they thought that the effects of the insect bite would cease. But much to their dismay, Priya started developing an itching sensation all over her skin. Wherever she scratched, blood started oozing out. To make things worse, she started developing rashes all over her body that made her skin ugly to look at. The parents were totally shattered to see their daughter suffer this way.

At school, Priya lost her close friends because of her skin condition. All the students in her class started talking behind her back and distancing themselves from her. The Teachers were also of no comfort! They told Priya’s parents to stop her from school and treat her condition before she could join back.

The couple were so distressed. They took her to one hospital after another. They tried various treatments, but all were in vain. Sometimes, the medication prescribed would withhold the rashes for a few days but then it would relapse.

This kept going and as parents, the burden kept increasing for Mr. Emmanuel and Sudha. In this situation, they came to know about the Young Partners’ Plan in the Jesus Calls ministry through a friend of theirs. Their friend also told them how

prayers are offered for the children every day at the Prayer Tower and encouraged them to enrol their children, especially Priya, in faith, in the Plan for her divine healing. Thus, in faith, Mr. Emmanuel immediately visited the Jesus Calls Tambaram Prayer Tower and enrolled all his six children as Young Partners!

Oh, what awesome miracles followed in just a week’s time! The skin problem that tormented little Priya Mariaselvarasi left her completely a week after she was enrolled in the Young Partners’ Plan and was prayed for! When they took Priya for her routine medical check-up, the doctor returned the fees after examining her and declared her totally healed from her skin condition.

Mr. Emmanuel and his wife Sudha broke into tears of joy to see their little daughter being set free from this dreadful chronic skin condition. Now it has been four years since little Priya has had the trouble of developing painful rashes.

“What a blessing the Young Partners’ Plan has been!” states Mr. Emmanuel in his own words.

Not just that, the couple could get their oldest children, Victor and Sneha to get married and settle down in life miraculously within a year’s time with three months apart. God has not stopped pouring His blessings on their children!

ENROL YOUR CHILDREN IN THIS AMAZING PLAN AND WITNESS GOD’S CHOICEST BLESSINGS UPON THEIR LIVES!

The offering that you send in your son’s/daughter’s name towards the Young Partners Plan will also help us to wipe away the tears of lakhs of people and makes them receive God’s blessings through our various free services such as Television programmes, letters, magazine, social networks, Outreach meetings etc., When these lakhs of people are blessed, the Lord showers the reward for their blessings upon the Young Partners.

Jesus Calls International | July 2023 | www.jesuscalls.org 23

‘And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, God that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory that Your hand would be with me and that You would keep me from evil that I may not cause pain”. So, God granted him what he requested’ (I Chronicles 4:10). This is our prayer for our Young Partners. Accordingly, we believe that the Lord Jesus will protect and guide the young partners; fill them with wisdom, knowledge and good memory power and lead them towards a healthy, prosperous and bright future. Please be assured that every Young Partner is precious to us. The Dhinakarans and the Prayer Intercessors in the Jesus Calls Prayer Towers never fail to pray for their well-being every day.

BLESSINGS FOR YOUNG PARTNERS

•Prayer intercessors at the Prayer Tower will pray once in every day specifically mentioning the name of the young partners and praying for them to be blessed with all the divine blessings mentioned in the plan.

My sister, Stella Ramola’s song, “It will happen in it’s time” is a wonderful song which reassures us that all we need to do is just wait on the Lord for His time. I would encourage you to listen to this song and be blessed. Let us look further into the reasons for your “waiting period”.

God is working FOR YOU during your waiting

Waiting is not easy my friend. Though you know that God has promised you a beautiful future, while you are waiting, all sorts of doubts start to creep in. You might think that the delay is because God is angry at you for your sins or you are not worthy enough to receive what you are desiring. Yes, every waiting period will raise such doubts and fears in you because you don’t know what your future holds. But my friend God knows what is in your future and He is in complete control of it. We know for sure that the Bible says, “He is a good God. He gives good things to those who wait upon Him.” The One who created you and put you in this world for a purpose, is still in control of your life. The only thing you need to do is to give God the control over your life and He'll give you the best.

God is working IN YOU during your waiting

In the Bible, we see that God spoke to Jeremiah and said to him, “Go to the potter’s house. I want you to see something there.” When he went there, he watched a potter working on the wheel, trying to make a pot out of a lump of clay. When the potter realized that the pot, he had made was

Jesus Calls International | July 2023 | www.jesuscalls.org 26

marred, he decided to start all over again and he shaped it into another pot that seemed best to him. Indeed, it took time for the potter to straighten the crookedness of the pot and mould it correctly into a beautiful vessel. Similarly, when the Lord begins to work in you like the potter, it will take time to remove all the impurities and crookedness from your life and transform you into His glorious and beautiful image. If you are in your waiting period, God is shaping you, my friend into something magnificent since what He will give you in His time will be so enormous and you will have to keep up with that blessing.

This happened in my life. When people in my age were getting married, I was thinking to myself, “Lord, when is this going to happen for me? Will I find the right partner for my life?” Having all these questions in mind, I waited at the feet of God for answers. The Lord indeed made me wait and told me to keep trusting Him and do whatever He tells me to do without asking questions. I obeyed the Lord and just kept following Him, trusting Him and kept doing what He told me to do. Finally, when God brought the right partner into my life and got me married to her, I looked back and realized how the Lord had beautifully shaped me during that waiting period just to keep up with this perfect blessing in my life. If I had found her before the waiting period, I wouldn’t have been ready for this marriage. I realized that the Lord had to work in me first, strengthen my relationship with Him and mould me into a more mature person in order to have a fruitful and wonderful married life. To this

day, I always thank God that He got me married at the right time to the right person. It was never too early or too late. The Lord’s timing was perfect and he brought us together beautifully.

So, my friend, you must understand the higher purpose in your waiting period and also believe that what God presents at the end of your waiting time will be so enormous and beautiful. Get ready for this blessing! You will be shaped for this blessing and you will unite with God and become one with Him for this blessing, because once you enter into this blessing, the Lord Himself will push you forward. He will use you in a tremendous measure. You will keep moving forward! So, do not get frustrated in your waiting. Instead, continue to give your all into the hands of God and keep doing whatever He wants you to do. Thank the Lord for your waiting period and also for the ‘shaping’ He is doing in you. Wait expectantly! The Lord Who is Faithful will make sure you receive your blessing at the right time.

May you enter into God’s beautiful blessings, this month!

PRAYER

Loving Lord, I thank You because You make everything beautiful in it’s time. I believe that You are working for me and in me during my waiting period. You are the Potter and I am the clay. Lord, I give You complete control over my life. Mould me and shape me into a vessel that will reflect Your glorious presence. Help me to mature in You and wait patiently for Your perfect blessings. Lord, I trust Your timing. Let Your name be glorified through it all. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

The divine love that is manifested by God is able to bring into our lives, the much needed peace. About this David writes in Psalm 29:11,

“The Lord will bless His people with peace…”

Yes, not every man can receive this blessing. Rather, this is a blessing given by God, the personification of love, to all those who walk, pleasing to the Father. Look at David! Don’t we read from his Psalms that he honoured God, the Father and feared Him and walked diligently in His ways? We also read in the Bible that like David, many other men of God too feared the Lord and walked in His ways diligently as a result of which they inherited divine blessings from

Him. Accordingly, when we too lead a pleasing life before the Lord and walk in fear of Him, He would be pleased with us and grant us this divine life, filled with peace and joy.

Peace in the midst of Afflictions and Trials

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer I have overcome the world.”

(John 16:33)

In 2 Corinthians 7:5, we see Apostle Paul saying, “Outside were conflicts, inside were fears.” He has written that he had troubles on all sides, in the time when he was ministering in Macedonia. Yes, even today, how deeply we are afflicted because of

Jesus Calls International | July 2023 | www.jesuscalls.org 30

facing various trials and fears as we do ministry faithfully and sincerely for the Lord!

In the same way, Job, the head of a family, has said in Job 10:17, “changes and war are ever with me.” Also, we read in Ecclesiastes 6:10, “He is man…he cannot contend with Him who is mightier than he.” Likewise, we also see in Hebrews 12:4, that we need to strive against sin and overcome it. We read, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

(Ephesians 6:12)

In several places in the Bible, we read that Apostle Paul had to pass through terrible troubles during the times when he was ministering (1 Thessalonians 2:2; 1 Timothy 6:12). However at the end of his ministry, Paul, the minister of God, triumphantly and with the shout of victory says about his blessed life,

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

(2 Timothy 4:7)

The Lord indeed miraculously delivered and granted a victorious life to those men of God in the Bible, who trusted Him. Similarly, no matter what troubles you may face when you firmly hold on to the Lord God, who is able to give you victory and seek His help at such times, He will never forsake you because you only trust in Him. Hence,

even in the midst of terrible troubles, the Lord will fill you with His divine peace and will surely make you victorious in a wonderful way!

The God of gods, who has given us the Jesus Calls ministry, stands with us as the ‘God of peace’ in the midst of all the troubles, deadly sicknesses losses, tears, poverty, reproach and loneliness that we passed through, as a family, and miraculously changed everything and has granted us abundant blessings of peace. Just as how the Lord conquered everything on the cross, He made us also conquer everything.

Dearly beloved! Do not worry about anything. As Apostle Paul writes to the Philippians in Philippians 4:6, do not carry all your matters and burdens by yourself, but let your requests be made known to God by prayer and thanksgiving. Then, as the Bible says, you shall enjoy being filled and led by the ‘peace which surpasses all understanding.’

Divine Peace Enjoyed by the Righteous Through Faith in the Love of God

“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

(Romans 5:1)

Jesus Calls International | July 2023 | www.jesuscalls.org 31

Yes, as the Bible says,

“And this is the victory that has overcome the world – our faith.”

(1 John 5:4)

Hence, what should we do? As we read in Hebrews 12:1, let us lay aside every weight that we face in life and the sin which so easily ensnares us and run with endurance the race that is set before us.

In many places in the Bible, we read how David, the man of God, underwent horrible suffering and crises. Particularly, in 1 Samuel 30th chapter, what did he do, when he lost everything and was distressed on all sides? We see that David ‘strengthened himself in the Lord.’ How did he receive divine peace, in that critical moment? The love of God gave him a blessed life of enjoying divine peace, through his firm faith.

Even in this worldly life, all of us have to go through paths full of crises, tears, sorrow and grief. That’s why, hasn’t the Lord said, “In the world, you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Didn’t He come to this world, in the form of a man and leave us His peace, having passed through sufferings and afflictions like us and triumphing over them in the end? (John 14:27). You, my beloved,

who is in tears saying, ‘Oh, I’m being distressed by these afflictions; these sufferings are plunging me into tears; how will I live in the midst of these troubles? Should I end my life?’ build yourselves up on your most holy faith, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy and peace of Christ (Jude 20,21).

Between the sisters Martha and Mary, Mary diligently sought the presence of the Lord and paid much attention to listening to the words of grace of the Lord Jesus and thus “chose that good part which will not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:42). You should also be diligent in reading the word of God and seeking His presence as men/ women of faith, without giving room for despair and get filled with divine peace, given by the Lord.

Divine Peace given by God’s Love through the Unity of the Spirit!

“I beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” (Ephesians 4:1-3)

“…to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” (Romans 8:6)

The Bible says that in order to receive this divine life, we need to be filled with the Spirit of God, who made Jesus rise from the dead. The Bible says that the ‘Lord is the

Spirit’ (II Corinthians 3:17). The Lord Jesus Christ lived this life as an example for us.

“…Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example that you should follow His steps.” (I Peter 2:21) Yes, as we read in Acts 10:38, “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.”

This is the divine experience of the Lord God, staying within us, through the Holy Spirit.

“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.” (Luke 11:13)

According to this promise, when we desire this divine experience, in all reverence and plead to the Lord, He will surely fill us with the anointing of His Holy Spirit. The Lord Jesus not only lived a life, filled with this divine blessing and peace but also appeared to His disciples, after His resurrection and taught them this truth. We clearly read in the Bible that the disciples, who were dejected and had lost the fire in their spirit, were filled with divine peace after they received the anointing of the Holy Spirit and became ‘vessels filled with divine power’ that give peace to many others, being fervent in the spirit, just as how the Lord Jesus was on this earth.

Dearly beloved, we have come to the last

days. The Lord’s second coming is very near. Hence, like the disciples, it is imperative that we too, as individuals and as a family, should receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit, which the Lord Jesus had also received, in order to be filled with the divine peace of the unity of the Spirit. Only then, we can live a life which is filled with divine peace, power and love.

About this, doesn’t the Bible says thus,

“When that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away” (I Corinthians 13:10)?

Every minister of God, who is being used mightily by the hand of the Lord, is filled with this divine anointing. This is the reason that they are being used by Him, even today.

My dear child of God, who is reading this, if you too would receive this divine experience of being filled with the anointing of the Holy Spirit, as a family, you shall also be filled with divine peace given by God and the unity of the Spirit. The Lord will help you to be vines that yield fruits and be a blessing to many, being filled with divine peace which the world cannot give.

Hence, as the Bible says,

“Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” (John 16:24)

Accordingly, may the Lord give the grace to you to pray to the Lord individually and as a family to get filled with this divine love and be fervent in the spirit through this and enjoy receiving the blessed life of being filled with divine peace and joy!
