Every day 20,000 people across the world send their prayer requests through various channels to the Prayer Tower. These requests are sent to Dr. Paul Dhinakaran by email every day and in whichever part of the world he is in, he lays his hands on it and prays for them. God hears the prayers and answers them all and we are receiving many testimonial reports. Hundreds of people send prayer requests for life-making decisions to know God’s will in choosing between the two. Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
waits at the feet of the Lord and gets the guidance from the Holy Spirit and reveals the will of God. God is faithful in answering them and everyone gets tremendously blessed in their lives. “Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.” (Amos 3:7) Dear readers, here is a living testimony of one such dear partner of the Jesus Calls ministry and I encourage you also to write to us and receive God’s favour.
I am Durai Selva Kumar, working in a government company in Qatar. I got this job by God's Grace and due to the prophecy revealed by Dr. Paul to select this job instead of choosing a job in Oman. I obeyed and took the job offer in Qatar and since then my family and I have been greatly blessed. In the midst of an economic crisis in the world, God saved my job and helped us to lead a peaceful life in Qatar. In 2014 and 2017, there was a structural reorganization in my company and that time too, my job was not affected. In spite of all these trials and tribulations, God's hand was with us to protect and guide us. I strongly believe that this was only because of God's grace, and the sincere prayers of our dear brother Dr. Paul and the prayer intercessors. In addition to the above blessing, God blessed us with a boy child in 2010. When my wife conceived, we enrolled the baby while in the womb as a Young Partner. Dr. Paul prayed for us and prophesied that a baby boy would be born and he would be a prophet of God. Exactly as he said, my son Samuel was born in June 2010. God also blessed us with a beautiful independent house in a very good location in Chennai. I thank Dr. Paul and his family for their fervent prayers and I will continue to support this ministry with my tithes and offerings till my last breath. Like Mr. Durai Selvakumar you too can send your prayer requests seeking God’s will to: Email: paul@jesuscalls.org

Beloved in Christ, I greet you with all my heart for this month to be a blessing to you.
“… his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.” (Isaiah 10:27)
“How 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.” (Acts 10:38) According to this verse, he understood that if people need to be delivered from sickness and bondages of demons, a servant of God must be

So for this month, focus your prayer on ‘anointing’ of the Holy Spirit. Surely, the anointing given by God to you will bring forth a new and refreshing transformation in your life.
AN ENCOUNTER WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT In the year 1955, my father experienced the love of Christ and surrendered his life to Him. Though, from the day of his salvation he was striving to take the love and the forgiveness of God to the people, he was also concerned for the people who came to his meetings struggling in sin and sickness.

The messages delivered by my father and me under the power of the anointing of the Holy Spirit are being upgraded and stored by the process of “Digitization”. This effort is underway and the messages and revelations of God will be made available for the benefit of the current generation and the future generations. With your precious offerings we were able to purchase hitech equipments exclusively for this purpose. We need a further expense of 3 crores to continue this process. Please pray for the Holy Spirit to help us to continue this project and complete it.
SILVER JUBILEE FOR BETHESDA During the days when our Lord Jesus Christ was walking on this earth, many received healing through the Bethesda Pool (John 5th Chapter). According to the vision that God gave my father that people should receive the same healing from God even during these days, my father established
to pray. They have testified of having received many miracles and healings. Now, as we celebrate 25 years of the Bethesda Prayer Centre, I would like to thank God for His unfailing mercies over the years. At this point of time, let me also indicate the fact that the Prayer Centre requires renovation. As you know, Bethesda was built by the generous donations of precious partners like you. In the same way, I exhort you to uphold us in the renovation work through your prayerful support. If led by the Lord to extend your support towards the Bethesda Prayer Centre, you can donate through our secure website www.jesuscalls.com. To get more details and clarifications, you can visit the Prayer Tower in your area.

H
ello friend! I rejoice in my heart to open this month’s message to you with a wonderful promise from the Scripture found in Acts 2:17 which says,
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.” (Acts 2:17)
8
Look at this word ‘pour’ which in modern language can be called ‘shower’. Our God always showers His Spirit upon all flesh. Another fact that you can clearly see in the promise above is that the pouring of the Holy Spirit leads to receiving the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Note the statement “I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy.” Friend! Are you not thirsty to receive this anointing – which is the pouring of the Holy Spirit into you? Yeah! Once you receive the anointing, it will be coupled with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I know that you
are thirsting for the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Yes! I also know that once you taste the anointing of the Holy Spirit you will begin to thirst for more. You will not be satisfied with a little anointing but you will want more of it. Yes! You will want showers of His anointing and that is exactly what you will receive. Showers of Anointing!
MY EXPERIENCE OF ANOINTING I attended the 18th batch of the Jesus Calls Power Ministry with a great thirst to receive the anointing but at that time I didn’t receive it. I was so discouraged because all my relatives who attended along
Jesus Calls International * October 2017 * www. jesuscalls.com
with me, my sister-in-law, my brother and my aunty received the anointing as well as the Gift of tongues on the first day itself, but I did not receive. Thoroughly disappointed, I asked God, “Lord, what sin have I committed? Why haven’t I received the anointing?” But then the Lord made me wait. I pursued the anointing passionately and so I also attended the 19th batch and even in that batch I did not receive the anointing on the first day. I became so afraid and wondered whether I would receive it this time too. That whole night of the first day I could not sleep. I was kneeling down and crying to God. I made this prayer with a very broken heart and right on the next day at eight o’ clock in the morning the Lord filled me with the Holy Spirit. Only after that I realised how precious the anointing of God was. Yes! My friend, the Lord will make you wait to receive the anointing and the gifts. During the waiting time don’t get discouraged and say, “I am not worthy to receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit.” Remember the Lord says, “If you ask anything in My name; I will do it” (John 14:14).
ASK GOD FOR MORE GIFTS 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 says that there are different kinds of
gifts, service and works; but the same God works all of them in all people. Yes, there are different kinds of gifts but don’t you ever think that the Lord will give only one gift to you. If the Lord determines,
HE WILL GIVE ALL GIFTS TO ALL MEN. Yes! He will not only fill you with His showers of anointing but also His showers of the fruit of the Spirit. Yes! The Bible says that our God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work” (2 Corinthians 9:8). Yes, our Lord is able to pour out His shower of grace in abundance. He is very liberal and generous in giving anything that you ask especially the anointing and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. So, don’t just ask only one gift. Don’t settle for anything less than what the Lord is willing to give you. Sing this song which I like very much which says,” Mercy drops
round us are falling but for the showers we plead.” Paul says,
“...desire spiritual gifts …” (1 Corinthians 14:1) Yes, God is willing to give it all to those who ask Him in faith and love.
OUR GOD IS A GOD OF FULLNESS As soon as the Lord fills you with His Holy Spirit, you will receive all the gifts that God has because He is ready to fill us to the full measure of His fullness. He does not trickle in drops; He pours out in showers. My mother Stella Dhinakaran always used to say that our God is a God of fullness (1 Timothy 6:17; Colossians 2:9,10). So, He will fill you to the measure of His fullness (Ephesians 4:13). Friend! Cry out to God for His abundance and fullness. I cried and said to God, “Lord, I need all the gifts and all blessings that you have in You.” God heard my prayer and honoured me just like that. He will do the same for you too my friend. The Bible says that our Lord Jesus came into this world to give us life in ‘abundance’ (John 10:10). If we pray with one heart and one mind the Lord will pronounce His abundance
Jesus Calls International * October 2017 * www. jesuscalls.com
9
of life upon us and fill us to His fullness. He will gladly shower us with all grace and all the gifts. So, right now even as you are reading this message you can open your mouth and pray to God. When you open your mouth and ask, He has promised to fill it. Look at what He Himself says,
“I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.” (Psalm 81:10) Friend! Open our mouth and ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit’s anointing. Nehemiah cried unto God saying, “Remember me, O my God, for good” (Neh. 13:31). Samson cried unto God saying, “O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God!” Read what young Rebecca, from Sri Lanka says, who attended our meetings. For a long time, I was asking God to fill me with his anointing. Yet, the sinful nature in me did not allow me to cry out persistently for this anointing. When I came to this meeting I cried bitterly, “Lord if there is anything displeasing in my life,
10
please remove it and fill me with your anointing. If not let me die.” Miraculously, during the prayer time of Sis. Evangeline, God touched my heart. I could feel a change within me. The Holy Spirit filled me without measure. At that time I received a unique experience. A bright and powerful light struck me and I received great peace in my heart. The moment I received this change I started asking God for his heavenly wisdom because I bunked classes having a fear that I lacked wisdom. To my surprise I heard the voice of God telling me
I WILL BLESS YOU FROM TODAY. I
thank God Almighty for blessing me with his supernatural anointing and wisdom. I know I will never be the same again. Glory to God! My friend! Right now you can also cry out to God like Rebecca saying, “Lord, remember me for good and fill me with your Holy Spirit. Lord, I have waited enough Lord; fill me with Your power.
Father! it is not enough what I have received till now. I need you more Lord. Father! You are the God of fullness. Lord Jesus when you received the Holy Spirit, you received without measure (John 3:34; Acts 10:38). I need the same anointing; the same experience. O! Holy Spirit come into me.” When you pray like this the devil who has put so many obstructions in your life will be ashamed and go away from you and the love of God will fill you (Romans 5:5). The Lord of light will come into you (John 9:5; 1 John 1:5). All the darkness, fear and sinful nature that were ruling you thus far will leave you. You will get filled with the Holy Spirit. Friend! When you have an unquenchable thirst for the anointing of the Holy Spirit, heaven will rejoice over you and pour upon you all the gifts of the Holy Spirit and all the fruit of the Spirit. Yes! Heavens will shower you with anointing and gifts! Friend! When you are filled with the Holy Spirit the Lord will begin a good work in you and the scripture says that the Lord who begins a good work in you will complete it (Phili. 1:6). So my friend! Continue to praise God and read the Bible and pray more to be filled with the Holy Spirit and receive the gifts of the Spirit. God bless you.
Jesus Calls International * October 2017 * www. jesuscalls.com
Loving Lord Jesus! I come to You responding to Your sweet invitation, simply believing on Your promise, “Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” It is my sincere longing to live a holy life, and to enter heaven to see You face to face. For this very purpose I need Your Holy Spirit, that He may keep me holy and blameless until that day. You know that sin, lust and the forces of evil surround me in this world; and I have no power of my own to overcome them. Grant me therefore Your mighty Spirit who alone can give me divine strength. I have managed to give up some bad habits and evil practices by the enabling power of my faith in You. Still they continuously threaten to re-enter my life, and I greatly need the Holy Spirit’s help to conquer the sinful desires. Thank You Lord, for washing away all my sins with Your precious blood. Yet I know I cause grief to the Holy Spirit due to my un-confessed sins. Please point out to me, my faults still clinging to me. I am prepared to give them up at once. Please show me, if I have to reconcile myself with somebody or if I have in my possession money or things that belongs to others. I am willing to set right any wrong that I’ve done, and to ask for forgiveness from anyone. My Father, Your holy Word says that my body is Your temple, the husbandry You are pleased with, Your palace and the temple of the Holy Spirit. Please therefore let Your Holy Spirit descend into my body, the temple of Your Holy Spirit. Lord, according to Your promise, “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!”- grant me Your Holy Spirit right now. Father, I read and meditate on Your word day after day, but I do not have the capacity to understand the
deep truth hidden there. I beseech You to explain to me all Your truth and help me to traverse on the path of truth. Fill me now with Your Spirit of power. Loving Saviour, I desire to pray earnestly for the members of my family who are troubled and distressed, for my loved ones and my dear ones; but my mind wanders and I am unable to focus my thoughts and keep them fixed on You. My God, fill me till I overflow with Your Holy Spirit, Who alone can help me to pray in the right manner. Master, I see countless souls around me, who do not have any knowledge of You, of Your great might and of the forgiveness of sins and redemption offered to us freely because of Your suffering on the cross. And I am moved strongly to tell them of the Good News of Your salvation, and to minister to them in Your name. But my Lord, I lack the divine ability and power to do that. I pray that You give me Your Holy Spirit, the same Spirit which was given to Your disciples to strengthen them to do Your work. Use me Lord, use me even now! Lord, I am waiting at Your feet to receive Your Holy Spirit. I long to be filled with Your Spirit in the same way as You were filled on the banks of the river Jordan and as Your disciples were filled in the upper room. Fill me with Your Spirit O Lord. Lord, I ask for Your Holy Spirit in obedience to Your commandment. “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”Lord, we are surely in the last days; You have promised that in the last days, You will pour Your Spirit upon all flesh. I do believe that You will fulfil Your promise and pour Your Spirit upon me. Lord, I am waiting eagerly and anxiously to receive Your anointing. All glory, majesty, dominion and power belong to You alone! And I thank You from the depths of my heart for hearing my prayer! Amen.

FAMILY RESTORED During September 2106, my wife and I started having problems in our marriage and thought everything was over when we got separated. I was also having ongoing issues with my business at the time. I was desperate for help and came to the Jesus Calls prayer tower in Mt Roskill for prayers and God’s anointing upon my life. The prayer intercessor patiently spent time with me, encouraged me with scriptures and prayed for me. He encouraged me to attend the Healing Blessing meetings.
In September, I also attended the Prophetic Prayer Conference of Dr. Paul Dhinakaran & Sis. Evangeline. My faith in the Lord continued to grow. The Lord in His faithfulness indeed did a miracle in my family! My marriage has since been restored by God’s grace. In June 2017, my wife gave birth to a baby boy and we have named him Elijah Anthony. I thank Jesus for this miracle and the prayer intercessors for always being there, encouraging and praying for us through the Jesus Calls ministry. All glory to our Lord. - Pranesh Nadan

The Holy Spirit spoke to me to establish a Prayer Tower in Israel, to pray down 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 all over 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.

Even today, God hears and answers the cries of His people when they call the Jesus Calls 24/7 Telephone Prayer Tower prayer line. Below is an amazing testimony by a caller whose hopes were not dashed, whose beloved’s life was saved by God by the anointed, tearful and heart wrenching prayers of our dear prayer intercessors. Sis. Punam Murmoo, testifies that her husband met with a terrible car accident on 12th Nov 2016 on his way to office. She was nine months pregnant and she was at her mother’s home far away at that time. A heavy truck from the rear hit him and he was flung out of the car and the car toppled over him with glasses cutting him on his face and piercing his head and ear. He was unconscious and was rushed to the major hospital nearby, which was 7 hours’ drive away. While she was on the way to reach him, she immediately called the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower and the prayer intercessor prayed and comforted her and told that nothing will happen and that she needs to be strong for her unborn baby and her husband. She received news that he was fine, though he could not speak much. Later on, they admitted him at a Mission Hospital and it was reported that there was no head injury or any serious life-threatening injury to him. He had a minor fracture for which he underwent surgery and got better. He was discharged from the Hospital the day she delivered their baby girl. He came directly to the hospital to see the baby after his discharge. She immediately enrolled her daughter in the Young Partner’s Plan and Family Blessing Plan for herself and family. This is how amazingly God hears and answers the prayers of every caller, who calls the Telephone Prayer tower in times of their need.

Jesus Calls International * October 2017 * www. jesuscalls.com
Like Punam, there are millions who cry desperately every moment without hope in this world. They need to be connected to OUR God the Life Giver. The prayer intercessor at the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower agrees in prayer & faith with them & connects them to Him. (Matthew 18:18,19). The Jesus Calls Telephone Prayer Towers open 24x7, 365 days of the year, answers calls from people seeking prayer help for - healing of sicknesses and disease, addictions, accidents, financial crisis, exams, misunderstandings between spouses, family relationships, and many more. Trained and anointed prayer intercessors are always ready to receive the calls and pray for every need, faithfully and the Lord responds to their prayers and blesses His people. The Jesus Calls Telephone Prayer Tower serves as a tower of refuge - comforting millions and wiping away their tears. It initially started in Chennai, India and is now operational in Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi, Trivandrum and Ahmedabad. The towers provide prayer services in 9 languages Tamil, English, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, Hindi, Punjabi and Gujarati. Shortly, operations will also begin at Coimbatore, Ranchi and Kolkata. We also plan to provide prayer services in Bengali, Odia, Assamese, Khasi, Nepali and Mizo languages soon. The Jesus Calls Global Organizations provide services in French, Spanish, Sinhala, Mandarin, Malay, Arabic, Hebrew, Russian and African languages.. In India, every day, around 400 full-time prayer intercessors pray in 3 shifts round the clock on telephone for nearly 17,000 prayer requests. These calls are received from all over the world. This is separate from the few thousand prayer intercessors who pray at the Prayer Towers for people in person and in the 24 hours prayer chains. Approximately 5,00,000 people are blessed through this ministry every month. My friend, I pray that you would partner with us in supporting the Telephone Prayer Tower operations, thus bringing healing and life to millions of needy and despairing callers and be a source of blessing to them. You will be blessed as you become a blessing to millions thru this mission of Jesus Calls.

On 19th May 2017, I had intense headache and seizures and collapsed in my workplace. Shortly after, I was taken to the local Hospital and was run through a series of tests. Finally, the doctors found that I had cerebral aneurysm (excessive swelling in one of the arteries in the brain resulting in its breakage and the blood spreading on the brain). Hence I was experiencing intense headache. That night, around 11pm, I was rushed for an emergency surgery with the intent of releasing pressure that had built up in my brain. That day and the next week were very intense. I also underwent another surgery where the doctors inserted a drain into the affected area where most of the blood had settled. I also had an angiogram where they placed a coil around the aneurysm to stop the bleeding. My mother contacted her friend, who is a prayer intercessor in the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower in Sydney. She was earnestly praying along
with the other prayer intercessors for my divine healing. She was also constantly encouraging and lifting my mother at this time of need. After much prayers and support from my loved ones and the prayer intercessors, all the surgeries were successful. The Doctor also cautioned that I may have vasospasms which occurred twice within that week. However continuous prayers during this time provided God’s grace, with minimal pain. I was moved out of ICU to the general ward after two and a half weeks and was discharged from the hospital, one week later. Today, I am alive, healthy and extremely thankful for the blessing that God has placed on my life through the tears of my mother and the Jesus Calls prayer intercessors. When I go for my routine check-ups, the general practitioners still tell me how lucky I am to be alive. I am extremely thankful for the ministry of the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower.

“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19) This verse from the scripture brings out a very power attribute of our Father God. Yes! We have a God who is both powerful enough and wise in His ways to meet all our needs (Rom 10:12). Many times in our life we come to a point where we may wonder, “How this huge need is going to be met. I see no way this could be met. Situations have gone beyond my ability and intelligence.” It is this point our Lord will prove His ability and wisdom. When you think, “There is no way”, He will have a thousand ways to meet your needs miraculously. Once, my wife and I went to a shop to buy some things. My wife thought that I had money with me. I thought that my wife had money with her. When we had bought all the things my wife told, “We’ve bought all the things, please pay the bill.” I was terrified when my wife said those words. As usual there were only 5 rupees or 10 rupees left with me. At that time fortunately, our son had come there and he gave the money for the bill. The Lord has sent our son there right on time so that we returned home peacefully; not being put to shame.

Jesus Calls International * October 2017 * www. jesuscalls.com
Yes! Many times in our life we come to this point of need but our gracious Lord says,
“MY CHILD! I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU ABUNDANTLY FROM MY RICHES.” Even the streets in heaven are made of gold. The Lord’s perfect will and desire for us His children is that we live in this world not lacking any of our needs.
SOME OF THE DEFICIENCIES IN OUR LIFE! In our walk... The Lord weighs the spirit of each and every man (Proverbs 16:2). Many times we deceive ourselves thinking that “I’m very pious.” But, the Lord weighs our hearts and motives. He says, “Although you preach well; pray well; sing well; still I must weigh you” and then He weighs each one of us (Daniel 5:27). This is how the Lord will perfect His children. It was customary in a particular company to lend a lot
of money to other people. The company had appointed a noble man to collect the loan back from the debtors in an appropriate time. He would go to the debtors and ask, “Please repay your loan.” But the debtors would say, “I had no business this month; No income; you come back next month” and would turn him away. He would return to the company empty handed. Likewise, none of the debtors who had lent money from the company returned the money. Therefore, a senior official in the company did something peculiar. He brought with him a monkey. The officer looked at the man who collects money and said, “You’re going every day and returning empty handed; now on take my friend (the monkey) with you every day”! The monkey also nodded its head and went along with him. First he went to a shop and asked, “Please repay your money for this month.” He replied, “Not yet, Go away.” Suddenly the shopkeeper noticed the monkey with him and asked, “Why have you brought a monkey.” He replied, “You would not repay your money if I ask; now the monkey will ask you the money.” Immediately the shopkeeper got horrified and he not only gave back the money he had to repay but even more than that and chased them away. The monkey collected all the money. There was lots of money with the monkey at the end of the day. Both returned to the company. When the officer looked at them he asked, “How
was the collection today”? He replied, “The monkey collected all the money very well” but he looked worried. Immediately the officer asked him, “Why are you worried?” He replied, “The monkey is having all the money in its hands and now it is not giving to me, Sir.” Yes! There is a monkey in our minds which is also doing similar things. We look very pious in our outward appearance. But, the monkey heart within us will not let us give back the money. It will not let us surrender our shortcomings to the Lord but friend if you can do this today, the Lord will purify your heart and bring an amazing transformation in your life today.
In our nesds... Deficits and debts come in everybody’s life. No one borrows money without any reason. We would suddenly need money to arrange a wedding or to build a house in the family. In such situations, we choose to borrow money from others or from someone in our work place. Still, Our gracious Lord Jesus will help us to repay the money. This is the greatest privilege we have got. Yes, gracious Jesus will be with us (Matthew 15:32). When you pass through difficult times, He says, “Oh! My child is suffering like this deficiency” and does a miracle in some way. Each man’s life has three parts such as, body, mind and soul. Unless the Lord meets the needs of these three parts of life, our lives may not be happy and peaceful. It looks very disturbed otherwise.

A. Soul God created man in his own image (Gen. 1:27; 5:1; 9:6). Man is an incredible creation among all creations. He created man just like Him. So, the appearance of God is just like the appearance of man. Disciples and prophets rejoiced as they saw the God whom no eye has ever seen. When they saw God they said, “HE was a figure like that of a man” (Rev. 4:2; Daniel 7:13; Ezek. 1:26). What are the other aspects in which man is made in the image of God? Man is created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness (Ephesians 4:24). He is renewed in knowledge in the image of God (Colossians 3:9,10). The righteous God has given us the same righteousness and a righteous heart (Psalm 7:11). God has given us a conscience. This conscience tells to discriminate good from evil and also righteousness from sin (Micah 6:8; Romans 2:15). The spirit of man examines his heart. It is also a lamp that sheds light on one’s inmost being (Proverbs 20:27). All that God expects from us is to walk in good conscience. Take with you holiness. To obey the Lord is being holy. The moment we disobey God, we lose our holiness. Do you have righteousness, holiness and knowledge of God in your soul? (John 17:2,3). “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is, understanding (Proverbs 9:10).” Once you fear the Lord and obey Him you will be holy and an immeasurable peace will fill your heart.

B. What is the human mind’s need? When there was a great storm Jesus was also with the disciples in the boat. He was in the stern, sleeping in a cushion. When the disciples cried to the Lord,“ Teacher! Don’t you care if we are drowning?” Jesus asked them, “Why are you so afraid? Don’t you still have faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still! And there was complete calm after that. He is a God who can calm the storms in our soul, spirit and heart.
HE IS MIGHTY TO GIVE US HIS DIVINE PEACE EVEN TODAY. He desires to give divinely peace to the hearts and minds of those who’re troubled amidst tempestuous storms.
C. Body What is about the body of man? The Bible says that it is the temple of God (I Corinthians 3:16; 6:19). God knows the
trouble we go through when we fall sick or lose our job. Therefore, He provides strength to the body and enables us to earn riches. Once, my son proudly wore a watch I had bought him from a foreign country to his college. But his friends teased him saying that, “His father would deliver sermons and earn money.” My son told me that he felt very proud as he replied them back saying that his dad is not only a preacher but also a higher official in the State Bank of India and this watch is bought with his hard earned money. That moment I praised God in my heart saying, “Lord! You graciously gave me this wonderful son after a few years answering the prayers of me while I walked through the paths of trouble and tears; I thank and praise you for giving me the strength to work and earn a watch for him.” The Old Testament believers such as Jephthah, Barak, Samson and David did mighty things despite their weaknesses because God gave them His divine strength and strengthened them (Hebrews 11:32-34). Friend! Come to Him and He is the only one mighty enough to turn any deficit into abundance, He is ready to give you also the divine strength and divine consolation from today. Therefore do not set your eyes and mind on getting abundance instead set your eyes “on the Lord Jesus Christ” who is mighty. Hold on to His feet alone for He is the Almighty; He is Love personified. He will miraculously turn all your deficits and fill you with His divine abundance and bless you.
