RUN IN THE MIDST OF WICKED PEOPLE Look at Isaac. Isaac was in the midst of the wicked king Abimelech. He was a jealous man. At the same time the nation was in drought. On one hand there was drought and on the other, unemployment. They were in a situation where whatever they sow did not give produce and were in agony. At the same time the king’s jealousy, anger and irritation made him and his group to plot against Isaac. In this state, Isaac was running. Though the drought was beginning, he did not say, “what can I do?”
“Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the Lord blessed him.” (Genesis 26:12) Isaac sowed the seeds. Today,

the Lord expects us to sow His words. What if there is drought? You saw the words from the Bible. It’s during the drought that you have to sow more. During the drought, Isaac also digs wells. Immediately the king’s people came and shut the wells built by him and his father. Even then he did not quarrel with them; he left the place and dug another well. It gave water. He sows and reaps a hundredfold. This is the hand of the Lord. During the drought, you should run to sow the verses into people. You should build wells. They will not get water. But you will get the water. Jealousy will increase and anger will rise. Unjustly they will close all your wells. They will also close the wells built by your father. Ancestral property will also go. But you should go and dig again. As you dig again and again, the Lord will keep on giving water. As you sow again and again, the Lord will keep on giving you a hundredfold. Finally, the king and his people bowed their heads before Isaac and said, “The Almighty Lord is with you. Whatever you do shall prosper”.
Jesus Calls International * August 2018 * www. jesuscalls.com
“…There ought to be a sworn agreement between us’ - between us and you. Let us make a treaty with you that you will do us no harm, just as we did not harm you but always treated you well and sent you away peacefully. And now you are blessed by the Lord.” (Genesis 26:28,29) From then on they did not close any well. Wicked men could not win over him. If you want prosperity, there is only one way; sow the word of the Lord, go to new places and sow. Do not stop your run saying, “why did you close it here?” This is my experience in life. If someone shuts a door, there is no use in fighting over it. The children of God should not get angry. They will not have any loss. Whatever you lose, the Lord will give back to you. But all you have to do is to enter into the new door. The Lord has kept an open door to dig a new well; no one ever shuts it. Keep running. The Lord will give back what you lost and will also bless you with new blessings. Abimelech saw Isaac and Rebecca making love. It was only then he realized that they were husband and wife. They loved each other. Loving the Lord is on one hand, love between the husband and wife is on the other. Only then can you bravely sow; Only if there is peace between the relationship of husband and wife, can you sow in new places. Only then can you dig new wells. The wife will say, “Don’t worry, dig in another place.” Family life is very important. To live in oneness and to love each other is very important. Such love was present in Abraham & Sarah, Isaac & Rebecca and Jacob & Rachael. That’s why whatever they did prospered. Even in your family life you are going to experience such affection. Because of that a hundredfold blessing will come.
The Lord told us, “Children, I will not destroy your enemies. Instead I’m going to bless you. Your blessings will destroy the power of your enemies.” He told this in 1987 and now, see how He has blessed us. After Angel’s death, the Lord blessed me with a wife, three children; He gave them talent, built Karunya and the Lord Himself has been doing all these things. We did not have to do anything. He opens the doors for kings, blesses the people and does miracles. This was not done by us. The Lord will do the same in your lives too.
RUN IN THE MIDST OF INJUSTICE! Jacob says,
“Yet your father has cheated me by changing my wages ten times. However, God has not allowed him to harm me.” “It was like this for the twenty years I was in your household. I worked for you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks, and you changed my wages ten times.” (Genesis 31:7, 41) Even then Jacob did not stop running. He did his job of herding the sheep truthfully. He took care of each sheep and restored for the lost ones. He was prudent in his job. Similarly the Lord expects you to be prudent in all the works given to you. Prudent in every aspect – with money, relationships, completion of a given job. Do not complain, “It’s like this, my boss is like this, what job is this? It’s very difficult”. Jacob had such a boss. He changed Jacob’s salary 10 times. But the Lord saw that he kept on running, blessed him with two portions of blessings and made him rich. For the times his salary was changed, the Lord poured the same amount of blessings. He is

going to pour it the same way for you too in your job, ministry, and family and honor you. Do not be worried. Jacob’s own brother Esau threatened to murder him. Even then he did not stop his run. He prays, “Lord, my brother is coming to kill me. Please save me, save my family, save my children, my sheep and cows. Save what is mine”. The Lord came and saw how he was praying unceasingly. The Lord decided to change his prayer. He said, “Why are you crying and praying for yourself? It should be changed” and He touched the socket of Jacob’s hip. Only then his eyes were opened. The Lord said, from now on you are not Jacob, no longer a cheater, you are Israel. From now on don’t pray for yourself, don’t ask for yourself. I will transform you into a nation, from now on pray for that nation. Pray for the nation of Israel. You are Israel. I’m going to build a nation in your name but you are praying for yourself and your family. The Lord changed his prayer, his thoughts and blessed him (Genesis 32:24-29). We are aware of the incidents in Joseph’s life, Jacob’s dear son. His own brothers fooled him and sold him to strangers as a slave. There was unjust accusation on him in Potiphar’s house where he was working. Due to this he was sent to prison. The Lord gave Pharaoh a dream, created a situation where no Egyptian could tell or interpret the dream, made the king realize Jacob’s greatness and gave Jacob the wisdom to tell and interpret the dream. The king looked at his workers and said, “is there anyone else who is like him who has the spirit of the Lord?” The Pharaoh honored Joseph: “Since the Lord reveals everything to you, there is no one who is prudent and wise than you” (Genesis 41:38,39). Finally, the Lord exalted Joseph to a position next to the king. He honored him as the ruler over the whole of Egypt (Genesis chapters 38 – 44).
6
Just as how Joseph interpreted the dream, Egypt was prosperous and fertile for seven years and followed by drought in the next seven years (Genesis 41:47 – 55). The people cried unto Pharaoh. Pharaoh replied, “you go to Joseph and do as he says”. Accordingly, Joseph opened the granary and sold to the Egyptians. A severe drought spread over all the nations. When Jacob came to know that there were grains in Egypt, he sent his children to buy some grains. He did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin along with them. Joseph’s brothers came to Egypt and bowed down to him with faces to the ground. Joseph recognized his brothers. But they did not. Then Joseph revealed himself. They were terrified at his presence due to the injustice they did to him. Then Joseph spoke to them courteously and asked them to bring his father. On hearing the news Jacob was thrilled.
“I am God, the God of your father,” he said. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.” (Genesis 46:3) Just as the Lord said, Jacob received double portions of blessings. What an honor it is for Jacob to not only see his son alive but as a ruler over the nation when he spent all his life thinking he lost his son. Moreover he moved with his family to Canaan with each one’s sheep, goats and things along with his sons went to Pharaoh and blessed him and in his last days he received this honor. Today the Lord is going to give us goodness and double portion of blessings and transform us into a nation. The Lord is going to transform everyone who is clothed in the name of the Lord. Therefore, let’s stand up, run together, keep on running, in the midst of wicked people and in the midst of injustice keep on running towards Jesus and be a blessing to the nation.

The convention and trip of the Holy Land were life-changing experiences for us and many others. Everything, from convention speakers, transport, sites visited, accommodation, food, tour guides, were all excellent. Having local speakers enriched us greatly in the history and current happenings in Israel. Our God of ‘above and beyond’ blessed us more than we had expected.

Here’s a powerful testimony from Rebecca Punithan from Madurai, India: ‘In 2009, my son Immanuel who was two years old had blood cancer. He had a swollen stomach; his haemoglobin level was only 4 g/dl, and the white blood cells count was around 1.5 Lakhs. We were shocked to hear this from the doctors. My husband is an auto driver, and with our income, we could not afford the treatment. We had no saved-up money either. My husband did not know Jesus and in this state, my little faith was also shaken. After admitting him to the hospital at Madurai, my aunt took my reluctant husband to the Prayer Tower at Madurai for prayer. My husband came back from the Prayer Tower after having my son enrolled in the Young Partners Plan and brought the blessed oil. We started to apply it on him every day. We also wrote letters to Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and received comforting responses. The treatment went on for five years. God did a miracle by providing the treatment free of cost and completely healed him. In 2014, when we went for a review, the same doctor certified that there is no trace of cancer and that he needed no further treatment. How much we rejoiced! We are deeply grateful to our Lord for this remarkable miracle in our lives. Now, Immanuel is 11 years and he is studying in 3rd Std. He is doing well in his studies and is very healthy. Above all, my husband has received the Lord Jesus as his Saviour after witnessing this miracle. He goes to the Prayer Tower often and attends the events there. God has blessed our finances and now we have a car. Our sorrow has turned into joy. All these became possible only because of the prayers offered at the Prayer tower and the multi-faceted ministry of Jesus Calls. All glory to Jesus!”
healing, miracles, and deliverance. Every prayer intercessor prays with burden and the Lord hears them and intervenes. He listens to one’s cries and comforts every soul through this ministry of prayer. Just as we read in John 16:20 our mission is to ensure that each one’s sorrows turns into joy.

Testimony from Cordilia, Senior Psychologist I have been coming to Jesus Calls Singapore from October 2016. Since then I have been attending the Saturday Blessing meetings. In December 2017, Stella aunty had come to Singapore and I received an invitation to join the prayer meeting. I was overjoyed. In that meeting, I learnt a little more about Jesus Calls ministries in Singapore and filled up the volunteer form. Almost immediately I received a call from Singapore Prayer Tower asking whether I would like to serve as prayer intercessors. I was thrilled that I received this and I immediately said yes. And I started to come to Jesus Calls as a prayer intercessor and became a part of the Jesus Calls family, Singapore. After I joined as a volunteer in Jesus Calls, I have seen immense blessings upon my life. Recently I received a promotion that might take years for people to achieve. But I believe God made it possible because of the prayers of my fellow sisters in Jesus Calls and the confidence only Jesus can give. I want to praise and thank God for the Jesus Calls Singapore for being a channel of His blessings in my life. Jesus is Lord! 24

We will see how the Lord has touched Mrs. Hepzibah Beulah from India who has been associated with Jesus Calls Ministries. She writes, “I am a Jesus Calls partner for a long time and have been tremendously blessed. Through the prayers of Jesus Calls, immediately after my marriage, my husband got a permanent job posting as a teacher. My sister–in- law became a Jesus Calls Ambassador and I am also conducting Esther Prayer Group in my area. We are partners in the Family Blessing Plan, Seesha and our children in Young Partners Plan. God has blessed us with a beautiful house and protected us thus far. Once, as I was watching a Jesus Calls TV program, I saw a family testifying on how God has been good to them and gave a vow offering as promised. Following that, there was an appeal to give for the Digitization facet to conserve the message tapes of the Dhinakarans. This inspired me and I too prayed making a vow to give my wedding chain for the appeal to conserve the message tapes of the past through digitization. I went to the Prayer Tower and gave my chain as an offering for the Digitization facet. Because of that, God has blessed our family and I thank the Lord Almighty who has led us in miraculous ways, healing us, protecting us and blessing us thus far through this wonderful ministry.”

Dear Bro. Paul Dhinakaran, My mother Philomena Joe had diabetes for 10 years. August 2017, my mother’s sugar levels alarmingly rose to 360 mg/dl. Since her sugar levels could not be brought down in spite of administering a strong dosage of medicines, the doctors advised an insulin regimen. My mother also has hypothyroidism and therefore felt very weak. In this condition she simply refused to take any further medication. At this juncture, she came across the portion ‘Prayer for the healing of Diabetes’ from the November 2017 edition of the ‘Jesus Calls’ Magazine. With much faith, she prayed this prayer several times a day and by the time she concluded her prayer one day, her blood sugar levels became normal. Miraculously, she was also healed from the condition of hypothyroidism. With a happy heart, I took photocopies of this prayer and distributed them among all my family members and all of them confided in me that their sugar levels were also getting back to normal. I offer praises to the Lord who did this miracle and also thank Bro. Paul Dhinakaran who published this prayer. In the same manner, I request you to pen a prayer for the healing of those suffering from high blood pressure. - Hema Joe, Chennai, India. As per the wish of Ms. Hema Joe, here is a special prayer for the healing of those suffering with high blood pressure!
Our heavenly Father Jesus, I have come seeking the healing attribute of Your nail pierced hands so that You may heal those who are suffering with high blood pressure and heart diseases which bring about cerebral strokes and chronic renal failure. I come to you exhausted and weary because of the medications, dialysis and diet that I have to go through due to the effect of High Blood Pressure. As You have stated, ‘Behold, I make all things new’, please remove my depression and give me new organs. When you earnestly prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, Your sweat fell to the ground like drops of blood. Lord, please heal me with Your blood, touch me and heal me of my high blood pressure condition. As You died on the cross, a soldier pierced your side and blood and water flowed out of it, heal my heart disease with Your blood. Since the life of the flesh lies in the blood, revive my fallen legs and hands. I believe the Bible verse which says, ‘He himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed’. As it is written, “If you believe, you
30
will see the glory of God”, I give all the glory and praise to God alone for removing all my diseases by filling me with the glory of God and this I pray in Jesus’ name. Amen. (The Bible verses on which this prayer is based on are: Leviticus 17:11; Isaiah 53:5; Luke 22:44; John 11:4,40; 14:14; 19:34; Hebrews 2:15; 1 Peter 2:24; Revelation 21:5)
