Group from Gujarat, India
I visited Israel Prayer Tower between11-22 November 2018. I had a wonderful experience while praying at the Prayer Tower in Jerusalem. While I was interceding for the prayer requests and praying for the nations, I had heavenly visions. After coming back from Israel the Lord started using me in a powerful manner. There were many healing miracles happening in the church. One person was completely healed from his death bed. My church started growing and I saw the hand of God in my life and ministry. I have now started following the messages and the ministry of Jesus Calls very closely. I am proud to say that now I have become the Jesus Calls ambassador and promoting Israel Prayer Tower. I invite pastors from my homeland to come as prayer intercessor to the IPT, Jerusalem. Praise be to God. - Pastor SAmuel Kumar, Phatankot, Punjab

Pray continually” (1 Thessalonians 5:17) “…Always pray and not give up” (Luke 18:1) And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. (Ephesians 6:18)
T
he Bible teaches us to pray continually without giving up. Sometimes, trouble or
bad news or humiliation ensues us after we pray with fasting or attend an all-night prayer. In such times, praying in the Spirit is the only way. Only then we can pray with determination, stay awake and pray for the saints.
When we pray in the Spirit, we will know what the Lord’s will is. “And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which

After Elijah met the King, the governor Obadiah, came in search of him. In the same way, the Lord will send commanders to you to send the message or a prophetic word for the King through you. Doors will be opened in this manner too. Elijah is a prophet, not a commander of the King. However, when the Lord’s hand was on him, he said to King Ahab, “Bring the 400 prophets of Baal to Mount Carmel.” Mount Carmel is in the north of Israel. The King listened to what Elijah said, and the power of God made him bring 400 prophets. Yes, when the Lord gives you a prophetic word, they will do as you say.

You will anoint kings. The prayer for the prophecy of one woman Anna brought the Almighty into the world. Now, that temple is broken. The prophecy has to be told again. The Bible says, before the seventh angel is about to sound His trumpet, the mystery of God has to be accomplished. Before that, a prophecy should be told about nations, kings, peoples, and languages (Revelation 10:7, 11). For the first time when Anna and Simeon prophesied, Jesus Christ came into the temple as a

the King. Even after that, King Ahab and Queen Jezebel did not repent. Rather, she sent a threat to kill the prophet and said, “Elijah’s head shall not be in his body.” At that time, the third prophecy came (1 Kings 19:15-18). Elijah was afraid and ran away into the wilderness and slept there. Even though the Lord does mighty things through us, when someone threatens us, we isolate ourselves and go to sleep.
All the three times, Elijah prayed. He ordained prophets. Therefore the Lord gave him seven thousand in Israel (1 Kings 19:18). To receive this privilege, we should pray cautiously for the Word of God in the spirit.

Digitalization of all audio and video formats of the messages, prayers, and songs of our beloved Dr. D.G.S. Dhinakaran, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran, and family are underway. These precious messages which have comforted millions around the world should be preserved for future generations so that they will be blessed. The process of digitizing, restoring them with the latest technology is underway as we are converting the old messages (audio and video) into re-usable digital formats, and collecting, digitizing and preserving the old issues of Jesus Calls Magazines, photographs of Prayer Festivals and other events, etc.. so that they could all be utilized in the future.

All CD’s that have the founders’ songs and messages; audio and video cassettes; recording of God’s miracles and testimonies witnessed through the Jesus Calls ministry are currently being categorized under various topics. This will enable generations to enjoy the blessings through messages that were preached powerfully even a few decades back and preserving the rich heritage of God’s wonders. These messages comfort and transform a countless number of broken-hearted people. This involves huge investments of both technical and financial resources. We thank God for loved ones like you who have liberally sent your offerings towards this project. Major technical investments involve the following: v Post-production online editing suite. v Media Asset Management-MAM, to integrate all the archived and current contents. v Metadata labeling for categorization and classification for easy retrieval and use. v Automated Robotic Library. You have enabled us to digitize nearly 11,500 audio and 61,000 video messages. However, 2500 audio and 6,000 video messages are yet to be digitized. 7000 digital files have been segregated, coded and archived.

I made a vow that if I get the provident fund, I will donate a portion of the amount for the project of Media Digitization.

A common worry among youngsters is that there are not enough jobs. It is employment that gives a person prestige and self esteem; it is the job that provides the finance required for a stable living. But if there are no jobs…how does one survive?
1955, February… A young boy was sitting frustrated. The father and mother of that boy were crying out, “God! God!” and prayed that God would bring someone to their home to pray. In his college days, the books he read and the lectures he listened to, aroused the question in his mind, “is there a possibility of the existence of God?” He did not have peace in any way. His dreams about education were not fulfilled. It was the desire of this young boy to study engineering after completing his PUC. His father who was a school teacher hoped that somehow his son could get a seat for engineering at the Annamalai University in Chidambaram near Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu where they were residing. But he did not get a seat. For the very first time he tasted the bitterness of disappointment! The boy’s father thought of another way. He advised his son to first study B. Sc and then to continue with engineering. But in that University he did not get a seat for B. Sc as well. At last he got a seat in the Government College, Kumbakonam for B. Sc. Scientific Mathematics.

The heart of Dhinakaran, who returned home having faced failure in college studies, greatly shook when he saw his mother lying sick on her bed.
The failure he faced during his college life, the guilt of disappointing his father, the deadly disease which made his loving mother suffer, frustration of not getting a job wherever he tried; what can a young man do in the midst of these situations?

exams after that. He would not have the responsibility to look for a job. He would not have to look at the disappointed face of his father again. He would not have a chance to look at his mother suffering from her sickness. “Oh! What a relief!”, this is what the young man Dhinakaran thought. With determination to die, he started from his home and went towards the railway track. But on his way he heard someone call out, “Dhinakaran”, and turned back to see his uncle, who lived in that local area standing there. His name was Alex Rathinam and he worked in the police department.
Here is a testimony of how Dr. D. G. S. Dhinakaran, who had overcome the failures in his young age, guided other youngsters: In 1971, I was in my final year pursuing B.Sc in Zoology at Vellore, Voorhees College. Some of my friends and I were sitting down to take rest after playing a game of basketball and got talking. Far away in the distance
His uncle asked, “Where are you set to go this early morning?” Dhinakaran could not give him an answer. Could he tell his uncle that he was going to die? Therefore he was silent. His uncle put his hand on Dhinakaran’s shoulder. Dhinakaran had seen before how his uncle would preach in the streets about Jesus. He thought to himself, “Aha! He is going to start preaching again”. His uncle asked him, “What happened, you look very sad?” Then he said, “All your sadness will change.” As he said the words “your sadness will change”, it touched Dhinakaran’s heart. He opened up about all the disappointments, frustrations and failures he had suffered.

long gone by now!
It was funny for us as youngsters to hear it. One of my friends said, “Come let’s go and see what is happening there” and we went towards the place where the meeting was going on.
After seeing the sufferings of Lord Jesus in his heart as his uncle described, Dhinakaran came home and said, “Amma, I am going to pray” and went into a room. His mother looked surprisingly at her son who for a very long time kept saying 'there is no God'.
His heart was purified by the ray which came from the cross of Jesus

y work visa was expiring on 4th December 2018; I was 8 months pregnant at that time. I have been working at a Rest Home for the last 4 years. The company I work for, supported my visa renewal twice, but didn’t do so during my second pregnancy. So I had to apply for tourist visa to stay in the country, as I was not able to travel at this stage of pregnancy. Hospital cost for baby delivery is around $10,000 in NZ. Because of low-skill job, my husband was also unable to include me in his visa. We were very worried about the expense of delivery charges and how we would meet the cost. We were praying and also called Jesus Calls Auckland Prayer Tower for prayer support. On 17th January 2019, I called Jesus Calls again requesting prayer for normal and easy delivery of my baby. On 18th January I delivered my baby within 3 hrs of labour, through normal delivery, whereas with my first baby, I had to be induced, suffered 4 days and finally delivered through caesarean section. Miraculously my husband received his visa within 2 weeks of application, when we knew of some who had been waiting for 2-3 months. Secondly all my delivery expenses were covered under my husband’s visa, so we did not have to pay anything! I am very grateful and thankful to Jesus Calls team for their prayers and encouragement, and our Almighty Lord for the miracles.

Dear Lord! How dearly You love me! You completely gave Yourself up for me because of Your love for me! Thank You Lord. I too love You Father; I love You with all my heart, my soul and my mind; please look down with mercy on me as I come to Your feet praying for success in my exams. Lord, the Bible says that the horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the Lord! As I prepare for the exams, please give me the treasures of wisdom and knowledge which belong to You. Give me a heart of wisdom and understanding. Fill me with the Spirit special of wisdom just as You made young Daniel ten times wiser. Lord, You are wonderful Counselor and magnificent in Your works! Give me good counsel during my exams and teach me which lessons I have to study and how to prepare well. Give me good memory power, so that I can retain in my mind all that I have studied. As you were with Joseph and made him successful, be with me and make me successful. Jesus, You have promised, ‘surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age; I will never leave you nor forsake you’. Be with me during the time of exam and help bring to my memory all that I have studied; give me the grace to write the correct answers for each of the questions and complete my exam within the stipulated time. Grant me favour in the eyes of those who correct my answer sheets. And Father, all through the exam time, give to me and my family good health, free from any kind of exigencies. Give us a calm mind that trusts in You. Father, I thank You and praise You for making me victorious in Christ and honoring me by giving me great success in the exams. I pray in the mighty Name of Jesus’, O Father, Amen.
