March 1st , 2019 MR. SAMUEL DHINAKARAN AND MRS. SHILPA SAMUEL MINISTERING GOD’S WORD THROUGH PRAISE AND WORSHIP FOR THE FIRST TIME AS A COUPLE.

T
he Service began with Praise and Worship led by Mr. Samuel Dhinakaran along with his wife Mrs. Shilpa Sharon. He started the service by encouraging everyone that the Lord is there in their midst to build up their life no matter how broken their past might be (Matthew 16:18). After which he led the gathering into a time of intimate worship and during the moment of worship, the Spirit of God was so tangible that people could feel the presence of God in their midst and were filled with the Holy Spirit. After the worship, we had Dr. Paul Dhinakaran share the word of God from Philippians 4:13 as how we could excel in all things that we do and be a witness to God Almighty. Dr. Paul also showed from the scriptures that when we follow God and do His will diligently, blessings come into our lives and all our prayers will be answered. Mrs. Evangeline Paul concluded the Blessing Meeting with a prayer and encouraged everyone to pray together as a family and meditate on the word of God every day. After the Meeting, Dr. Paul and Mrs. Evangeline interceded at the feet of God personally for everyone’s prayer request. Everyone who attended the meeting testified about how it was a blessing for them and how they were encouraged to lead a life pleasing to the Lord and be a witness in their day to day life. Amen. - Report by Mr. Praveen Rajkumar, Coordinator, Jesus calls Prayer Tower, DALLAS Jesus Calls Ministries * April 2019 * www. jesuscalls.org

The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.” (Romans 13:12,14) Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” (John 8:12)

Paul says to obey the ones who are vigilant to guide you and give guarantee for your souls. They should guide your soul with happiness not with sorrow. So, obey them. Carefully listen to the Word of God, to the words that come through His servants and obey them. The Lord says, “when you obey the Lord in the way Abraham obeyed God as well as others who led him, He will greatly increase you” (Genesis 17:2). I changed completely and became a child of God when I was 18 years old. But before that, there was a very big rift between me and my parents. I lived as a person who did not know the Lord. But when I became a child of God, my parents became my friends. The Lord told me, “Paul, you had so many friends till now. From now on, I am your friend. You will hear My voice and I will guide you. I will richly increase you.” I had failed in my undergraduate studies at that time due to too much lenience. It was at this time that I gave my life to the Lord. The first thing that I started to do was to be obedient to my parents. Once, my dad had to go for a meeting at Virudhunagar. But due to his work schedule, he could not go. It was a place where almost 40,000 people gathered for the meeting. My father sought for someone to go in his stead but no one was available. Lastly, the Lord told him, ‘Send your son”. I was only 19 years old at that time and I was scared to even climb onto the dais. I was short and thin, unable to fluently converse in Tamil and had no knowledge about the Scriptures. But I readily agreed to be sent and obeyed my dad. I obeyed my parents and went alone and arrived there. The organizers were looking for my father. I said, “If you see the son, you have seen the father.” They were very upset that my father could not make it and started to lament. On that day they reluctantly announced that Brother Dhinakaran has not come, but his son

will give us the message. This was the first time that I was preaching. I got up and said, “I am not going to speak. I have come here with the Lord in obedience to my father and mother. The Lord will do His works for me”. On that day around 5000 people received salvation and many who were unable to walk, got up and walked. From that day onwards, this became a customary happening in every meeting as my dad would be unable to go to the meeting on the first day due to his work or due to an upset stomach. I obeyed my parents. At the same time, the Lord blessed my studies and helped me obtain a gold medal in B.Sc., He made me complete my MBA and finish my doctorate studies in marketing when I was just 26 years old. I obeyed in each and everything that the Lord told me through my father. Lastly, I obeyed my father to marry the girl whom he showed. I did not even look at her properly but obeyed him and married her. This year, we are completing 30 years of our married life. The Lord has immensely blessed us and has exalted us to greater heights. The Lord will do so for you too, if you obey the Lord, your parents, the pastor who is led by the Holy Spirit, and the servants of God. Many trials will arise to test your obedience. But as the Lord greatly increased Abraham through Issac, He will increase you through your children.
THE SPIRIT OF POWER Look at the life of Joseph. In Genesis 41:38, 39, Pharaoh says, “If there is one in whom there is the Spirit of God, he should be like Joseph. Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?” He had such wisdom and energy. He had the ability to tell beforehand about things that would take place in the future. That is the strength he had. What was the reason for this? Joseph’s father says, “I do not know where your

Secondly, he was sold as a slave there, put in the prison and finally God brought everyone under his feet. But he was always honest and worked wholeheartedly and as the Lord was with him, everything he did prospered. Similarly, He will enable you to stamp Satan under your feet when you do your work with integrity. Today, the Lord is sending His angel before you to take you to the place that He has kept for you so that you would not be discouraged (Exodus 23:20).
THE LOVE OF THE HEAVENLY FATHER Are you worried thinking that you have to do everything alone by yourself today? You will not be left alone for your Father loves you. “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.” (John 10:17) Even today, the Lord looks at us and says: “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” (Matthew 19:29, 30) You may have sacrificed your house, the time with your family, things, land and money for the sake of the Lord. The Lord says, “You will receive a hundredfold in this world and eternal life.”
the Bethesda Prayer Centre,” my father’s kidneys were both damaged and he had to undergo dialysis. The University was to be started in the year 1986 but just before that, my sister Angel had to die in a tragic accident. One group of people would mock at him, write in the newspapers, print out hand bills and give money to magazines to publish them. They will speak from the pulpit in a disgusting manner. In the midst of all this, debts ran into many crores to build Karunya as well as the Jesus Calls Prayer Towers. We did not know how to repay the debts and were grief stricken due to the loss of Angel. In the midst of all this, we had to pray for the people so that their tears would be wiped away. One morning my father was leading us in prayer. We wept and wept as a family. We cried saying, Why this agony Lord? “What wrong do You find in us Lord? Why are You allowing this?” Jesus came and said, “My children, why do you say that you have broken My heart? You have been fulfilling with integrity everything that I tell you about. Who is there for Me besides you? How can I leave you? How can I cast you away? I am with you and I love you. You give even your life to do My will. I love you. I will bless you more. As your blessing increases, all your adversaries will go away. Whatever you left because of Me, I will give you a hundredfold of it. I will give family, house, honour and even My name to you.” 30 years have gone by. The Lord has given everything a hundredfold and even more. Whatever you have lost for the sake of His name, He will give back to you a hundredfold.

DALLAS Prayer Tower “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.... for the former things are passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)
T
housands of people call our Dallas Prayer Tower daily for prayer and the prayer intercessors at the Prayer Tower humbly listen to their cry for a miracle in their situations. The people who call us have no hope; they feel lost and broken and we pray for God to wipe away their tears and to restore them to health and to restore them to His bosom as His children. Miraculously they get released from their bondages, from all that which plague their minds, bodies, and souls (Romans 12:15). Our Dallas Prayer Tower is here to bring spiritual HOPE & HEALING to those in need. Our representatives are passionate and want to see them healed by the love of Jesus Christ.
We would like to share few of our testimonies received at the Dallas Prayer Tower Telephone ministry to encourage your faith in the Lord. Mrs. Shirley Rosario, Washington State – called the Dallas Prayer Tower for prayer and heard about the live telecast of the Rourkela prayer festival. Watched the live telecast and prayed along with the prayer intercessors for a job in the same city her husband stays. God answered her prayer by not only blessing them with a job in the same city, but also in the same company. Mrs. Beverly,illinois – had a growth in her body for the past 10 years, called the Prayer Tower for healing in her body. After much

prayer the growth shrunk and she was completely healed. Mrs. Norma, California - Called our Dallas Prayer Tower to pray for Julie her daughter as she was admitted in ICU for Kidney Problems. After praying they discharged Julie from the ICU within 4 days as she was completely normal. Mr. Isaac Joseph, Connecticut - Called for prayer for his father’s healing from a stroke, and due to which he was on feeder tube for 2 years. After much prayer, he called up testifying that his father was completely healed and does not need a feeder tube anymore.

The Lord answered his faith by granting him a job on January 25th in the same city. Miss. Amy, Maryland - called Jesus Calls for prayer when the doctors told she would need surgery to remove polyps in Cervix/uterus. She was scheduled on January 28th for cancer surgery to remove the two polyps in the cervix. On the day of the surgery, doctors could not find any polyps in the cervix or uterus. It had disappeared.

We had an amazing time ministering in Houston & Dallas last month. The Spirit of God moved mightily and people gathered could really feel the touch of God. God has started using our son Samuel and Shilpa as a couple and they ministered together for the first time in the US. Praise be to our God.

Thirdly, God will curse the devourer for your sake. Today, many wicked people, jealous about the victory of others do witchcraft against them but God will save you from the eyes of such people and deliver you from the witchcraft powers. Balaam came to curse the people of Israel but God opened his eyes. He gave the Holy Spirit and made him to see the spiritual things. God made him to speak blessed words for the people of Israel instead of cursed words. God will transform the wicked people who are against you to be favorable. He will break every bondage which is against your business. J.C. Penney was a businessman and some people did witchcraft against him. He had debt problem and his health condition declined and he was admitted in the hospital. One day he heard a song on the television and he heard a line from that song which was saying “God will take care of you.” When he heard that song, the Holy Spirit came upon him and as he received the Holy spirit, all the demonic power which tormented his life flew away from him. Then God began to bless his business and now his business has spread all over the world as a famous clothing store in the world. Similarly, God will deliver you from the hands of the devil and will give you back everything 100 times that you have lost.

W
e are Jesus calls partners. For the past 2 years we were trying to purchase a house. We saved for the deposit and started looking for the house. One of the major banks gave us conditional approval and so we signed the contract with the vendor. After verifying all the documents they said that they can only lend 60% of the value of the house. I had just done school enrolment for my children for 2019 and so I was really devastated. At that moment I called the Australia Prayer Tower for prayers and made a vow to send an offering for the relocation of Sydney Prayer Tower. The sister prayed with much burden quoting the promise verse, assuring lord’s grace and favour. Amazingly, within a week my loan got approved from another major bank and I bought the same house in a month’s time with $10,000 less than the initial agreement. We then gave our offering for the Prayer Tower. We thank the lord Jesus Christ for His endless grace and mercy and all the prayer intercessors for their prayers. Praise the lord. - Francis & Jyoti Lobo, Melbourne

Once, the king fell ill and as he lay in bed, the doctors told him that he will surely die. The king got scared as he thought, ‘who would come along with me when I die?’, and called all the 4 wives.

We read in Proverbs 19:11 that the discretion of a man makes him slow to anger and his glory is to overlook a transgression. Jesus has set an example for us to follow. We read in the Bible that He did not open His mouth but was patient. He is going to direct even you to this patience. The Bible tells us, “When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.” Are men lashing out at you? Are they crushing you?

Approximately 20 years ago… Devadass, a missionary in a small village of Dahod in Gujarat, returned home exhausted. As he neared his home, the words of his landlord echoed in his mind, “Only three more days… by then if you do not pay the remaining amount, I will tear the agreement.” He thought about the first day when he arrived in this village. He and his wife, Vahitha, came for ministry to Dahod and Jhalod but they were unable to get a house to stay. There was one house where no one wanted to stay. It was believed by the locals that this particular house was “haunted”. They believed that, whoever would stay in that house will die. At the time when they did not get any place to stay, the Devadass-Vahitha couple settled in that particular house. They would travel together on a cycle to different villages

decided to move to another place.
Some of the people of that village met with the house owner’s family and instigated them by saying, “Your father has given the bungalow to some outsider for just half the money.” So the family compelled the owner to get the money immediately. The house owner was pestering Devadass to pay the rest of the money in three days time. Devadass was praying in his heart, “Lord, where will I go searching for so much money? How will I get it in three days? You should only provide for me.” He looked up and saw the words “God will

In such manner, the payments were settled with the house owner prior to the date he had mentioned to Devadass. Devadass recollected the very first visit he and his wife made to the ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Tower in 1991. It was at the time when they had lost their third baby, a girl. Without having enough money to avail medical treatment and suffering from the loss of the third child, they were heartbroken and came all they way from Gujarat to Tamil Nadu for a change. They arrived in Chennai and visited the ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Tower. Entering the Prayer Tower for some consolation, they heard that Dr. Paul Dhinakaran was personally meeting people and praying for them that day. Only

After they shared about their ministry briefly to Dr. Paul Dhinakaran, he prayed for the couple fervently and sent them with an offering and CD containing messages. Following this, the missionary couple registered themselves to attend the ‘Jesus Calls’ Institute of Power Ministry at Karunya through an ambassador of Jesus Calls in Gujarat. In 1992, Bro.

“I was so blessed by my recent stay at the Israel Prayer Tower. The beautiful facility offered an amazing 20th floor view of Jerusalem, intimate prayer rooms and space to worship and fellowship with others. The convenient location made it easy for me to experience both the Old City and the new, modern Jerusalem. Through my time there I grew a deep love for Israel, its people and Biblical history—and a greater love for the nations. I recommend the Israel Prayer Tower for every one who feels called to pray for Israel and the nations. I’m counting the days till I return!” - Marianne Castillo Pasadena, California HaYovel visited the Israel Prayer Tower for a time of prayer and worship during a recent trip to Jerusalem.
