A special Thanksgiving Service was conducted on the 17th of November at the Dallas Prayer Tower. Several people attended this special service and were blessed. The service started with a wonderful time of praise and thanksgiving led by Mr. Samuel Paul Dhinakaran along with his friends. Everyone felt the presence of God and many were led into a time of repentance and reflection on the wonderful ways in which the Lord had led them in the past. Before Dr. Paul Dhinakaran shared the thanksgiving message, there was Holy Communion led by Pastor Augie David. Those who participated were truly blessed. Dr. Paul Dhinakaran shared the word of God basing his sermon on

1 John 1:7 and Isaiah 28:2 and taught about the cleansing power in the blood of Jesus and how the Lord saved us from all sins and iniquities and how we ought to forgive each other when they sin against us. Dr. Paul then led everyone into a time of prayer and thanksgiving unto God for all the miracles He has performed so far in the life of the partners and in the Jesus Calls Ministry. At the end of the meeting Dr. Paul along with Sis. Evangeline prayed individually for all the partners who participated and they were tremendously blessed. After which, we had a fellowship dinner. Every partner who attended the Thanksgiving service was richly blessed. Praise be to God! Bro. Praveen Rajkumar Coordinator, Jesus Calls Prayer Tower, Dallas.

Jesus Calls extends support to build Churches in Villages
Dear ones, as per the Lord’s command, the Jesus Calls ministry is giving 10% of its total offerings to other ministries to support them in building churches. Hence, God has kept this Jesus Calls ministry out of debt. So, I lovingly invite you to prayerfully send one tenth of your income to the Jesus Calls ministry in order to wipe away tears of the people and to offer them the joy of the Lord’s salvation. On receiving your offering, I thank God for it and pray that the Lord should multiply it to bless thousands and take those blessings and shower those blessings on you and your family from generation to generation. “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field, says the L of hosts; (Malachi 3:10,11) I thank the dear ones who have been partnering this ministry. Continue your good work for great will be your reward. Here is what a dear beneficiary testifies:
Dear Bro. Paul Dhinakaran, We live near the seashore in Kayalpatnam, Tuticorin district, India. serving the Lord as a family among the fishermen community who have not tasted the love of Christ. In 2013, our Prayer Shed got badly damaged, reducing it to ground level by a storm. We reached out for your help and you supported us by sending a sum of Rs.INR.2,00,000/- towards re- building the Prayer House. Now we are able to erect the building and continue our ministry to worship our Mighty God in this newly constructed Prayer House. We are conducting Jesus Calls Kids camp every year and nearly 110 children participate with much enthusiasm in this meeting.Thank you very much for your kind help. We are praying for you and the Jesus Calls ministry. Mrs. Selvi Daniel, Kayalpatnam

While taking part in the World Prayer Convention, you can also embark on the Holy Land Tour to Israel, Jordan and Egypt. Log on to www.jesuscalls.org/ wpc2018 in order to book for this tour. The whole of last year was a year of exceeding abundance even for the ‘Jesus Calls’ Ministry. Millions of people have come to know about His love for the first time and have surrendered to Him. I now give you a brief account of the past events of the ministry so that you can praise the Lord

PRAYER FESTIVALS The Lord was gracious in enabling us to conduct Prayer Festivals, viz., the New Year Blessing Meetings at Chennai, Madurai, Ambikapur (Chhattisgarh), Rajahmundry (Andhra Pradesh), Bidar (Karnataka) and Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh). Around 1.13 million people participated in person in these meetings and were blessed. We conducted a one-day Special Blessing Meeting in the cities of Sivakasi, Theni, Dindigul, Nagercoil, Thirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Chidambaram and Karaikudi. Many came to know about the Lord Jesus for the first time in these meetings. Approximately 71,000 people came in person and were blessed in these eight one-day Blessing Meetings. Moreover, Special Meetings for the students were conducted at Bethesda and Chennai and Family Blessing Meetings were conducted at Puducherry,
Jesus Calls International * January 2018 * www. jesuscalls.com
Aruppukkottai, Madurai and Guwahati. A Mega Prayer Meeting was held on October 2nd in Chennai to pray for blessings upon India and the people. All the necessary people and financial help to conduct all of these meetings were granted from heaven by the Lord. The Lord was gracious enough in helping us to conduct the Partners’ Meetings at Madurai, Bethesda, Bidar and Jabalpur and also to meet everyone individually and as a family and pray for them. It always gives me great joy in my soul when I meet the partners in person, who have been supporting this ministry by giving their offerings cheerfully at their best levels possible. The love that you exhibit encourages me to continually do the Lord’s Ministry.
PROPHETIC PRAYER CONFERENCES “The Lord gave the word; great was the company of
those who proclaimed it.” (Psalm 68:11) The ‘Jesus Calls’ Prophetic Prayer Conferences are conducted with the sole aim to transform each partner who gives towards the Lord’s ministry into a ‘praying partner’. According to this vision that the Lord’s message should reach people in all regions and also with the noble purpose of raising up prophets to prepare the world for the coming of the Lord, Prophetic Prayer Conferences were held last year at Rajahmundry (Andhra), Karunya, Coimbatore and overseas in Mauritius. 6,500 people took part in these meetings and dedicated themselves to do ministry for the Lord as prophets. Moreover, the Lord even granted us grace to proclaim His words in the countries of Sri Lanka, Germany, Singapore, Malaysia and Mauritius.

PRAYER TOWER MINISTRY With the vision ‘Not even one soul should perish’, we are establishing ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Towers in many places according to the guidance of the Lord. We are expanding the Prayer Tower Ministry so that the people in that locality can come in person and receive counseling and have their prayer needs met based on Bible Verses. Prayer Towers have been newly established at Ambikapur (Chhattisgarh), Chidambaram, Karaikudi, Bidar (Karnataka) and Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh). The ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Tower that has been opened in the city of Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh is the 100th Prayer Tower in India. 2.65 million people came in person to these 100 prayer towers last year for prayer and were blessed. 29,320 meetings were conducted in these Prayer Towers. 1.87 million people participated in these meetings and received blessings from God. We took efforts to construct new buildings for the Prayer Towers at Frazer Town in Bangalore and Secunderabad in Andhra Pradesh so that people in the vicinity of these Prayer Towers will be much more blessed. We are taking efforts to renovate the Bethesda Prayer Centre since it enters into its 25th year of service. The construction work on the

Prayer Tower Building at Fraser Town is nearing completion. The first stage in the renovation of the Bethesda Prayer Centre has been completed. ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Centres are functioning at certain places and we are planning to dedicate them as Prayer Towers. New Prayer Towers are to be established at Namakkal, Thiruvallur and Marthandam in Tamil Nadu, Bokaro and Dumka in Jharkhand, Bhopal and Indore in Madhya Pradesh, Nizamabad in Telangana and Jeypore in Odisha. The renovation work on the Bethesda Prayer Centre and the finishing touches on the Prayer Tower at Fraser Town should be completed by this year. Moreover, Prayer Tower buildings are to be constructed at Secunderabad and Trivandrum. The Telephone Prayer Towers are continually functioning 24x7 at 5 places and offer prayer assistance in 7 languages to those who contact them for prayer. From January till November 2017, 3.29 million people have contacted through telephone, received prayer assistance and have been blessed.

God willing, it will be broadcast in this new year through the web address www.jesuscallsradio. com.
PRAYER ACADEMY Courses are being offered through the Prayer Academy so that people who are interested in prayer are taught how to pray, have a correct
understanding about the basic truths of the Bible and jointly do the voluntary work with the ‘Jesus Calls’ Ministry in the locality they reside in. Last year, through the Prayer Academy training at Rajaji Road, Chennai and Madurai, 101 people completed the course and received certificates. Classes are now conducted at Bro. D.G.S. Dhinakaran Memorial Prayer Tower and the Prayer Towers at Vanagaram, Coimbatore, Thoothukudi, Tirunelveli and Trichy.We are to start these courses at Hyderabad and Vijayawada.
ESTHER PRAYER GROUP The women in the locality gather together in a place and pray for the prayer requests sent by my mother Dr. Stella Dhinakaran. These Esther Prayer Groups are functioning throughout India. These are conducted for various age groups including young women, junior girls and couples. The Couples Esther Prayer Group was started for the first time in August 2017.

1. CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS “When the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.” (1 Peter 5:4) I feel as the prophecies relating to the global situation in the world are becoming a reality, the pointers towards rapture are becoming more relevant at this time. It makes us look towards the Chief Shepherd appearing to receive the ones who have lived to serve Him and have borne fruits and have multiplied their talents when He returns (John 15:16; Matthew 25:16,17). At this point of time I feel that 2018 will be a year to

prepare the world and specially those who trust in the Lord for the coming rapture. From 2018, the years of preparation begin; of course I do not know when He will come, for the day and time has been determined by the Father in heaven even before the foundation of the world. But there is a strong urge in my spirit to convey to you my dear friend that the time for preparation of God’s people for this great heavenly event is beginning. It’s time to turn your heart totally to the Lord to fulfil His Will and to care for as many people as possible by bringing the message of His salvation and His love to them. The Lord showed me the following Scriptures which I want to share with you to prepare for the rapture. Of course He will place a crown of glory upon whom He raptures into heaven.
THE RAPTURE St. Paul very clearly states in 1 Thessalonians 5:14, how the rapture would be the first move of God to redeem those who believed that Jesus died and rose again.
“For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.” (1 Thessalonians 5:2,3)

Finally, he will set himself up in God’s temple proclaiming himself to be God.

of various governments, judgements supporting such interests and the unrighteous life style supported by huge corporate kingdoms. They are not able to prevail today and unable to rule the world yet because the Holy Spirit is still working in the world through you and me. When God’s people are raptured, the Holy Spirit will go with them to Heaven. Then the evil one will rule over the world. His rule will be only for a short period (Matt 24:22). Of course this man has already been doomed to destruction by the Lord. But he will have a limited time to do his work in deceiving all people who have been left behind in the world, to turn them away from God.

WHAT WILL THE ANTICHRIST DO? He will oppose everything that is called God (2 Thess. 2:4).

“...Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession--to the praise of his glory...” (Ephesians 1:13-14)

They are led by the Holy Spirit and so the Holy Spirit rules the world through their sanctified life, prayers and their actions establishing God’s Will in the hearts of men. The Bible says in Romans 12:1, “these are people who have offered their bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable to God and in Romans 12:12, “They have been joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer.” And so the Holy Spirit works in the world through them revealing God to the people of the world. But when they are taken away during the rapture to heaven, the Holy Spirit also leaves the world along with them, since the Spirit of Jesus does not live in buildings but in the hearts of men (Acts 7:48; I Cor. 3:16). The Scripture says in John 16:8, “It is the Holy Spirit who talks about sin and who convicts the people and talks about the judgement.” But when He is taken away, there is no one in the world who convicts people of their sin or gives them a chance, to repent through the blood of Jesus Christ. Hebrews 9:14 says, it is the Holy Spirit who makes the blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse one’s dead works to be transformed into the image of Christ. The Holy Spirit makes them confess Jesus Christ as Lord (I Cor. 12:3). And so when He is taken away from the earth along with those who are raptured, the lawless one, who is the evil one and the antichrist, shall rule the world with no resistance for a short while. He shall turn the hearts of the people away from God but towards himself. Then the people left on earth will say, “now we have security and peace amongst us” as you find in 1 Thess. 5:2. And when this happens, as you read in 2 Thess. 2:9, the lawless one who is the antichrist, in accordance with the work of Satan, shall display all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders. So you will see the so called gods of the world
18
coming alive and doing miracles exactly as they are portrayed. Some may dance and some may talk and do miracles and antichrist himself will perform counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders.
PEOPLE UNDER THE RULE OF ANTICHRIST Those who did not love God and those who did not worship God but opposed everything that is of God will be left behind to be ruled by the antichrist. God will hand them over into the hands of this deceit and allow them to have a powerful delusion that they will believe the lie as you find in 2 Thess. 2:11-12 and shall be condemned and they will delight in wickedness.
WHAT IS THE WICKEDNESS THAT WILL COME? As Christ said, it will be like as it was in the days of Noah.
“But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” (Matthew 24:37-39) And if you read Romans 1:21-24 (NIV) you see, "For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal

overwhelmingly would be, that there will be sexual impurity and people would be handed over by God to shameful lusts. The scripture says, even their women shall exchange natural relations for unnatural ones. Men shall abandon natural relation with women and shall be inflamed with lust for one another. Men shall commit indecent acts with other men and receive in themselves the due penalty for their perversions. They will have a depraved mind and they will be filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful. They will invent ways of doing evil; they will disobey their parents. They are senseless, faithless, heartless and ruthless. They will not only continue to do these things but also approve of those who practice them (Romans 1:21-32).
Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man:
“All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.� (Revelation 13:8)
His number is 666.

These people who refuse to accept the mark of the beast and worship the beast shall be tormented in the earth during the reign of the antichrist when everybody enjoys peace and safety having taken the mark of the beast. These people who knew the Lord but yet were left behind because they did not have the oil and the talents to receive the Lord, will have to go through much tribulations in the world and wait for redemption until Jesus comes. The Lord Jesus says in Matthew 24:15 onwards that there will be the abomination of desolation. This is the time when the antichrist will sit on the throne in the temple and proclaim himself as God and when he does that, those who have known Christ, yet have not followed the Lord Jesus Christ, will have to go through much tribulations. The Scripture says, “let them not get back into their house hold to take anything and if they are in the field let them not go back to get their clothes and if they are pregnant and nursing woe unto them because they will have to be on flight everywhere and they will have to roam around everywhere to save themselves. There will be a great tribulation, such has not been seen since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be (Matthew 24:21). And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved but it is for their sake they are still called the elect. Those days will be shortened and false Christs will appear everywhere and attract these people and try to capture them to destroy them and the Lord says, “Do not be deceived with these false alluring”. But it is then Israel’s eyes will open. Until then it would say, “It is the antichrist who is the Messiah, who is the saviour of Israel who has brought all the nation to be at peace with Israel but when he sits in the temple as god, their eyes will open and they will begin to cry. It is then the antichrist will bring all those nations which made peace with Israel to rise up against Israel and they will come to destroy Israel

on all sides. But the Lord Jesus Christ will then return. The Scripture says in Matthew 24:29, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” All this will happen when the bombs fall in different places and there will be darkness over the land. It is then verse 30 says, “The sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the Israel will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man (Jesus Christ) coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together as His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other - That is those who were left behind yet who had resisted the alluring and the threatening of the antichrist, they will be brought together from all sides.
“Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him.” (Revelation 1:7) The whole world will cry indeed over the coming back of Jesus Christ because they will be filled with guilt and they will have to face the judgement along with the evil one and Satan and his angels themselves. When the second coming happens, this will happen to those who worship the evil one and receive the mark of the beast.
Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or
Jesus Calls International * January 2018 * www. jesuscalls.com
on his hand, “he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.�And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.� (Revelation 14:9-11)
of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke you! But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves. Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah. These are spots
And surely the Lord Jesus will establish His throne on mount Zion to rule the nations of the world from there having delivered Israel and His elect. This is going to be the way in which the final move of God will be enacted on earth. There will be a new heaven; there will be a new earth after that and there will be no sin but the Lord himself shall be the light and all will walk in the light as Satan and his angels and his people shall be bound in the darkness and in the fiery furnace of affliction in hell.
"And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries. Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body

reserved the blackness of darkness forever. Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage." (Jude,verses 6-16) LET’S GET READY! My precious friend, you and I need to get ready for the rapture. Let us get busy following the Lord Jesus Christ with all sincerity and consecration , fulfilling His Will and showing His compassion to as many people as possible, redeeming them from the fiery furnace of affliction because of sin. Surely, we can face the rapture with great joy as the Lord comes to take us to Heaven. Let us not wait for the tribulation to fall upon us and be troubled by the evil one and his cohorts. Let us get ready today. From 2018 the signs of these times will begin and it is now time to seek the Lord and prepare ourselves for the end times. As we seek the Lord with all faithfulness and consecrate our lives and gain more from the talents that He has given us and our lamps burning with the oil of the Holy Spirit, He will surely crown us with the crown of glory.
2. CROWN OF GOODNESS “You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance.” (Psalm 65:11)
22
The Lord says in Jeremiah 32:40, “that He will never stop doing good.” He will make all His goodness to pass before us (Exodus 33:19). He will meet us with the blessings of goodness (Psalm 21:3). He will make goodness follow us all the days of our life (Psalm 23:6). Today let us humble ourselves and receive the fullness of the Lord Jesus Christ, which brings one blessing after another and all the goodness of the Lord in our lives (John 1:16). Whatever God has planned for us, He will bring it in our lives this year and crown us with His goodness and crown the year for us with His goodness. Let us believe in the blood of Jesus Christ, which intercedes for us, speaking good things for our lives (Hebrews 12:24). Let His blood cleanse us and remove the dead works from our lives and from our conscience, so that we may serve the living God (Hebrews 9:14). When the crown of goodness comes upon us it does two things. a) The Lord will not remember the sins of our youth for His goodness sake (Psalm 25:7). b) When God showers His goodness upon us (in Tamil it is called “Karunya”) grain shall be given to the young men and new wine to the young women (Zechariah 9:17). There will be all sufficiency and rich blessings. May the Lord govern you with His rich blessings as you prepare to be raptured through your life of sanctification.
3. CROWN OF LOVINGKINDNESS “Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies.” (Psalm 103:4) Yes indeed, God will crown us with His lovingkindness.
Jesus Calls International * January 2018 * www. jesuscalls.com
4. CROWN OF HOLINESS
a.) “The Lord will save you from all who will stand up against you, through His lovingkindness as you trust in Him” (Psalm 17:7). This year He will save you from all those who have oppressed you ;even the evil powers and the wicked men and as well as the temptations which have stood up against you to destroy your holiness. You will be saved from them and His lovingkindness shall be the crown which will bring you this deliverance which will be upon your head. b.) “His loving kindness and his truth has lead me on the way to the house of my master relatives” (Genesis 24:27), Eliezer said this as he was able to find a suitable wife for his master’s son Isaac by God’s lovingkindness which led him to the right girl, the only girl whom he saw to become the wife of Isaac. He praised God saying, “You put a crown of lovingkindness of my head and upon my master’s son’s head that I have been able to find the right girl to be the wife of my master’s son." Indeed God will help you to find the right partner in your life and build your home by crowning you with His lovingkindness this year. c.) The Lord showed Joseph, mercy and kindness and He gave him favour in the eyes of the warden of the prison (Genesis 39:21). Yes my friends, you may be oppressed and wrongfully detained yet God says, “I will put my crown of lovingkindness upon your head and you will find favour in the sight of your bosses who are ill-treating you and as well as those who have wrongfully detained you and have punished you unjustly. Now I will give you favour in their eyes through the crown of lovingkindness that I put upon you . Then for all the shame you have gone through, I will give you double portion of honor (Isaiah 61:7). So rejoice over these blessings that God is going to give you this year.
God will place the crown of holiness upon your head.
“Then they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it an inscription like the engraving of a signet: HOLINESS TO THE LORD.” (Exodus 39:30) The Bible says in Hebrews 12:14, “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.” The Lord will put His crown of Holiness upon you this year and you shall have visions of Jesus and you will have peace with all the people and the holiness will come upon you because of that. In Exodus 15:11 we see, “The Lord who is wonderful in holiness, works miracles and mighty acts.” As the holiness of God comes into your heart and in your life and as peace rules in your heart; rules in your relationship with family members and with all people, you will see the miracles and the mighty acts of God working in your life this year and all the gates and all the doors and all the heavenly windows and store and flood gates shall be open for you to bring great blessings from Heaven as well as favour and love and peace amongst all people. Let not your heart be troubled. Jesus loves you. He is your crown of glory. Wear Him and enjoy this year. God bless you richly. Prayer: Lord Jesus we thank you because You are our crown. Be thou honoured in my life. Be the crown of righteousness; be the crown of holiness ; be the crown of lovingkindness and be the crown of goodness in my life as I surrender my life totally to you to do Your Will and to be prepared to be raptured when You return to receive me. I give You all the glory for being my Lord and Saviour. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

CELEINE WAS SHELL-SHOCKED TO HEAR THE BELOW STATEMENT FROM THE DOCTOR.
“Already six months have gone by and there should be no more delay. You have to start on your treatment for cancer immediately.” This is how it all began. She took it very casually when she could not lift her left-hand due to severe pain. She approached the doctor when her pain was severe and unbearable. He detected a lump in her armpit, hence gave medication to reduce pain. During this period of her life, Celeine was in an important position in a Company and her elder daughter was studying in her 10th standard. She took the medicines whenever she felt a surge of pain. But at one point, the doctor advised her to undergo mammography which is a test for breast cancer. The test report gave them much joy. Yes! The lab report declared that there was no sign of cancer. Though she rejoiced in her mind, yet the pain in her body did not cease. So they went to a Cancer Specialist for consultation. He took a sample from the lump and sent it for biopsy. Oh! The test report declared that she had cancer. It was only then, that the doctor advised her to undergo treatment for cancer immediately.
Her husband Manoharan and children Gracia and Patricia were heartbroken. Celeine was distressed when she thought about her family. Knowing that only the Lord can do a miracle, Celeine made a phone call to the ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Tower. The prayer intercessor who attended the call at the Prayer Tower listened patiently to Celeine’s problem and showed much concern in her matter. She strengthened Celeine saying, “The Lord will do everything perfectly” and earnestly prayed for her. After giving her two sessions of Chemotherapy, the Cancer Specialist said that the lump had to be removed by surgery and sent for a test, to prevent the disease from spreading as well as to determine the stage of cancer. Before the surgery at the hospital, Celeine called the Prayer Tower through telephone for prayer. The lump was sent for tests. The doctor was greatly surprised on seeing the test results. Yes! There was no trace of cancer in that lump. Her whole family was filled with joy. The doctor who treated her was amazed to see the results and said, “Celeine, Your Jesus has been kind to you.” This miracle took place in the year 2012. Now, her children are all grown up. As per the Doctor’s advice, Celeine is undergoing periodical checkup once in six months and every time, the test results are ‘No signs of Cancer’. Celeine gave this testimony and glorified the Lord at the ‘Jesus Calls’ Prayer Tower in Frazer Town, Bengaluru.
You too can expect a miracle, as the prayer intercessor intercedes for your needs. Your sorrow will be turned into joy (John16:20).
You can support the operational expenses of US $100, $500, or $1000 as prompted by the Lord. Come forward to sow your seed.

This was the wicked devil (I John 5:19) because God Himself defeated and he comes to steal, kill and the enemies. Apostle Paul says, to destroy (John 10;10). The ‘I can do all things through Bible says in James 4:7, Christ who strengthens me’ “Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Be sober, be vigilant bec ause your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour eter . In the Bible, we read about a man of God named Job who was prosperous. But the devil tried to shatter his belief on God and deny his faith in Him. Yet, even in his terrible afflictions, Job believed only on the Lord and waited with patience. That’s why the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his early years (Job 42:12; James 5:11). Apostle Paul also mentions in II Timothy 4:17 of how God was of help to him during his troubled times, But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me nd was delivered out of the mouth of the lion .

Similarly, when the enemies invaded David’s palace, burnt it and took away everyone who was there, David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices and wept, until they had no more power to weep.

to the Lord saying, ‘Lord I am ready to do Your ministry as per Your wish”. In the initial days of the ministry, she had to face terrible situations; yet since she obeyed the Lord and committed herself to fulfil His will, the Lord helped her and used her mightily. Many were convicted of their sins through her ministry and accepted the Lord with tears. I have also undergone several losses in my life. When I lost my daughter in an accident, my heart was broken to pieces. That time the Lord came near me and said, “My daughter, don’t keep crying over your loss. You would be a vessel that would wipe away others’ tears. You should intercede for the burdens of other women”. Obeying the Lord’s words, in 1988, I started the ‘Esther Prayer Group’ in Chennai. Today, more than 1500 groups are functioning in India and in other nations. Women are indeed weak vessels. But through the Holy Spirit, the fire of God comes upon the members of this Esther Prayer Group. He fills them with His power and transforms them into His divine image. Many are comforted through their prayers offered according to His will. When I was grieving over my husband’s demise, the Holy Spirit said to me, ‘My daughter, do not be troubled. Commit the whole time of your life to live for the purpose of wiping away the tears of women like you”. 28

Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and Sister Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran had come to Malaysia to minister in the Renewal Lutheran Church on July 16th 2017. I requested Sister Evangeline to pray for my deliverance from fear. After she prayed for me and was just leaving that place, I hugged her. From that day onwards, all my fears have disappeared. The Lord touched me through dear sister. I Thank Jesus for this marvellous miracle and I bless Sister Evangeline for bringing this miracle in my life.

Come to Pray in
ISRAEL
T
he Holy Spirit spoke to me to establish a Prayer Tower in Israel, to pray for God’s plan upon each nation and its peoples, for it to be prepared for His second coming. According to Revelation 10:7,11, prayer has to be offered for the kings chosen by God to be in place, the gospel to be preached is

each nation with prophetic accuracy and solutions for the problems of each nation to be revealed. Also, for each nation to be connected to Israel for peace to come upon Israel and for Mt. Zion to become the capital of Israel. The Lord showed me that His sons and daughters from each nation from all over the world will come to Jerusalem and pray God’s plan upon their nation prophetically for these to happen. “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams” (Acts 2:17). After we started praying, India has made peace with Israel! Each country will eventually be blessed, as the person from that country comes and prays there. When the prayer intercessors go back to their country after praying for a brief period at the Israel Prayer Tower at Jerusalem, God would give them His prophetic authority to anoint kings and bring signs & wonders and also enable them to enjoy the prophetic blessing in their own life.
