The Lord will dwell with you, so that the home where you live will be filled with His presence throughout this month of July. The happiness and great joy found in His presence will abound in your home, in each one of your family member’s life and also in your neighbours through you. I wholeheartedly praise the Lord for you as you are going to be His witnesses in this month by taking forth the Lord’s happiness and joy to others (Psalm 36:8; Acts 1:8).
Work nearing completion “Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering and come into his courts.” Psalm 96:8 As we have stated in the previous issues, the extension works at the Ghatkopar Prayer Tower in Mumbai are nearing completion. Renovation work was carried out for the Prayer Tower as it was not in a condition to properly minister to the people due to the damage caused to it by heavy rains in 2017. Proper arrangements are made to conduct meetings and to give counsel to people who visit this renovated Prayer Tower. Likewise, construction works of the Prayer Tower at Frazer Town, Bengaluru are being carried out at a fast pace so that it would be 4

completed within 2 months. I lovingly request you to continue in prayer for these construction works of the Prayer Towers as well as lend your support financially as the Lord leads you. Details regarding how to send in your offerings can be found in Page10 of this issue.
Technology based Prayer Tower Ministry “...and every willing man skilled in any craft will help you in all the work. The officials and all the people will obey your every command.” (1 Chronicles 28:21) Thousands of people come in person to these prayer towers every day. They receive prayer assistance by contacting through telephone. They send prayer requests through letters, e-mail, sms and also via social media channels like WhatsApp and Facebook. We pray for all these requests and send our replies. In times where technology is developing at a rapid pace, we are organizing Omni Channel Prayer Tower service to render prayer assistance in a proper way for the people who contact us through various media. Likewise, we are extending our ministry so that all the prayer services function in 10 places across India. Do remember this extension work in your daily prayers. Specially pray for the Lord to protect these works so that no technological difficulty or financial constraint hinders them.
Apostle of Love’s Birthday "Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations.” Isaiah 42:1 My loving father and the Lord’s Apostle of Love Bro. D.G.S. Dhinakaran’s birthday falls on 1st of July. On his birthday, I praise the Lord along with you for the bountiful ministry that the Lord did through him and the countless souls that
were touched through him. By the grace of God, this ministry has expanded to this level because of the obedience of one man and through the support of loving partners like you. Each day, thousands of people taste the love of the Lord through this ministry and prepare themselves for His coming. Moreover, kindly pray that the Lord should give the needed grace, health and power to each member of our family so that we may continue to fulfill this ministry, by His will, in accordance to the vision give to my father.
Digitization Work Digitization work is going on to increase the quality and also to digitally store the messages and songs of my father and our family. We are purchasing modern equipments in this regard. Since these songs, messages, testimonies which were recorded under old technology are being converted as per the modern technology, we are able to use them for television programs, publishing as books and as research work concerning the ministry as well. We are planning in such a way that many more will be blessed through this in a better way in the future. Please pray for this work. This will be of immense help to lead this generation as well as the future generation to the Lord through the messages given by the Apostle of Love. You can come forward and support this ministry through your offering.

My precious friend, May God’s abundant blessing be upon you this month and cause to shine His face upon you. I pray that whatever you do, may it be blessed by His mighty power and you may see a great increase in every area of your life. May every aspect of your life flourish, earnings be multiplied and God’s peace prevail over your borders. This month for our meditation, let us look in to Psalm 16:11, which says… “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
Fullness of joy awaits you In Jesus, everything is complete! There is nothing but fullness in His presence; fullness of joy and eternal pleasures. He is all set to grant you these. But what are we supposed to do to inherit such fullness? Well, the verse tells us the way as well! All we are expected to do is to choose life and not death. We choose death, as we choose
8
JESUS CALLS July 2019 - www.jesuscalls.org
sin. We choose death, as we choose lust. We choose death, as we choose pride. God simply wants our lives to be with life. Dear ones in Christ, I say again, choose life, choose righteousness and experience the fullness of joy. Let me take you to Genesis,
the beginning. Genesis 1:27 says “God created man in his own image”. Ezekiel talks about God being made of fire and was like molten metal till His waist (Eze. 1:27; 8:2). We see a tremendous light shining around Him. According to John 4:24, God is Spirit. Yet He has a form. My father had the privilege of seeing God! He was a 17 year old boy back then. In a fleeting moment as the glory around Him moved, he saw God was simply like silver! Yes! He has a form, the very form in which He has created man. So was Adam, full of brightness. He remained so, until Satan deceived them and made Adam and Eve fall due to disobedience. Today Hollywood movies simply curse the name of Jesus with every breath. They even find delight in doing so. Most of all, the world never fails to honor such ones with awards and acclamations. Man’s pride simply provokes him to act lustfully against the tenents of the Bible. Highest bodies of the world honor man for decrying God. Adam and Eve were deceived by their pride to become just like God. Today, we see the stars of the world doing just that. But we often see them miserably ending their lives because of the emptiness within. This is how precious lives go in vain for no reason. When somebody steps up to talk about their sins out of burden and love, they don’t hesitate to call them “haters”. Pride and simply pride does this to a soul. Let’s stop ourselves from playing with God, the consuming fire. Of course, God is good but the fire in Him shall consume the ones who resist Him. This rule applies to everyone, including me. Nobody is holy. We need to humble ourselves. Adam and Eve, due to pride, had the audacity to think of becoming God-like which led to their downfall. It wasn’t God who defiled them but sin did and made God’s glory depart from them. The fire in them was gone. The brightness was gone. They
became naked and darkness surrounded them, exactly like when Jesus cried on the cross.
Our only hope Our loving Saviour became naked on the cross and cried out, “My God! My God! why have you forsaken me?” He gave Himself to redeem us from darkness. We have become naked because of sin. Out of fear, Adam and Eve hid themselves of their nakedness. Perhaps, you’re hiding behind liquor, behind lust, behind hatred or behind your community today. My beloved friend, when Adam and Eve hid themselves out of fright, God came in search of them and called them and said, “Where are you Adam? I created you in My image. Where have you gone and what have you become?” But they never repented. God had to create clothing for them. That is exactly why He created skin, for all men to cover their nakedness, to cover their loss of God’s glory. This skin (body) is full of lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and pride of life. Because of lust, man was thrown into the very dust where Satan is. Man and Satan had to be in the same dust. Even today, our plight remains the same. As Genesis 3:17 says, “Man toils in the ground, but only thorns and thistles are born, and there is sweat all through the life of man toiling.” Hence, Satan had authority over man’s soul even after death. He was with man on the earth and even after a man or woman died, Satan had power over their souls.
Don’t hide behind the lust of the flesh. Open your heart for Jesus. He shall wash and transform you. And you shall experience the joy of God’s presence in this world.
In John 14:30 Jesus said, ‘Satan is the prince of the world’ and in John 10:10, ‘He has all the power to steal, to kill and to destroy’. Satan had all the power over man. Even now www.jesuscalls.org - July 2019 JESUS CALLS

if you are sinful, Satan has power over you, power over your soul. As man disobeyed and there was no forgiveness before Jesus, Satan had the power over the souls of the wicked as well as the good on the earth. The soul of man that remains wicked even after death shall be taken to hell. But the spirit of the good shall be taken to paradise. There is a huge wall, a great gulf fixed between both places. Luke 16:26 tells us that there is a great gulf fixed so that those who want to pass from hell to paradise cannot and those who want pass from paradise to hell cannot; there is a division between both. According to 1 Samuel 28:12 -15, we see Satan could as well have control over the souls of the good. But then God came into the world, taking the form of flesh, simply to save you and me from the power of the devil. Hebrews 2:14 - 15 says that Jesus went to the cross and gave His life for every one of us. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sins (1 John 1:7.9). Today we have hope. Jesus went to the grave and then to paradise. 1 Peter 3:18 - 19 says so, because without the person being cleansed from
10
JESUS CALLS July 2019 - www.jesuscalls.org
sins with the blood of Jesus Christ he or she cannot go to live with God in heaven, and so as He preached, they turn to God accepting the blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse their sins. The Bible says in Matthew 27:53, when Jesus rose up from the dead on the third day, these souls of the righteous who were under the bondage of devil in paradise also rose up and went with him to Heaven. Even today you shall experience the same joy on earth. Just ask Jesus to wash you with His blood. Give up your wicked ways. Don’t hide behind the lust of the flesh. Open your heart for Jesus. He shall wash and transform you. And you shall experience the joy of God’s presence in this world. He says, as you stay faithful in small things, He will make you ruler over many. Praise God for this hope. Turn to Jesus today. “Father, we pray for thy children. We pray for ourselves. Lord, keep us under the blood of Jesus Christ so that we shall be glad and enjoy the eternal pleasures in this world and in the world to come. Bless thy children this month, and make them prosperous. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

which I began examining myself. That was a Saturday and all of a sudden at 6:35 p.m, my room became breezy. I saw the window opening on its own. A snowy smoke enfolded the room and I saw Jesus!

I am very happy to share my testimony about how
JESUS TRANSFORMED my life.
I
was born in this world with lot of hope from my parents. When I was 2 years old, my adenoid gland was surgically removed. During my preschool days, proleptic mouth and stammering delayed the development of my speaking skills. Further, my parents found that I am slow to learn subjects; that was later identified as a learning disorder. I used to write all the alphabets in an inverted manner. My teachers never gave any positive remarks about me in my studies. I had no close friends and I was all alone longing to make friendship with my classmates. In the midst of all these adversities, my parents recognised a God given talent - music - in me and trained me in western classical music. My parents were very keen in taking me to Sunday school and Church every Sunday. My grandmother used to wake me up early in the morning to read and meditate the word of God along with her. My parents dedicated me to God at the age of 1, just like Prophet Samuel. During one of the Sunday school retreats at the age of 10, I found my real Friend, Jesus and accepted Him as my personal Saviour. This was the first turning point in my life. God gave me wisdom and I started to be closer with Jesus. Jesus healed my stammering and learning disorder. He lifted me year by year in my studies. At the age of 13, Jesus put a thought in my heart, to be a missionary for Him. The different feedbacks confused me when I shared the thought with my close circle of friends and family. But later, I decided to be a missionary Doctor to serve the Lord. After the 12th standard examination, I wrote various medical entrance exams however I didn't clear any exams. Meanwhile, I was also curious about Biotechnology engineering in Karunya. I cleared the Karunya entrance exam and secured a seat in Biotechnology there. During my days in Karunya, I drew closer to Jesus through prayer cells and corporate worship sessions. God was edifying me with the word of God through the
18
JESUS CALLS July 2019 - www.jesuscalls.org
Kerala. It was another turning point in my life to understand God's calling. God revealed to me that I will be a Stephen (spreading love of Jesus with the anointing). His thought for me to be missionary for Jesus at age 13 was clear during my days at Karunya. When I passed out from Karunya, I understood that God had a purpose in bringing me to Karunya, to equip me to be a servant of God. I realised that the one in me (Jesus) is greater than the one in this world which was a great revelation. Therefore, I am more than a conqueror through Christ. Presently, my wife Deepthi Thomas and I live in Netherlands. God lifted me in my career and I am presently heading a Data science team in Netherlands for a life science company. I am also a co-editor of a health informatics magazine called "Data Basics�.
Faculty, Value Education department (DOVE). God gifted me a spiritual friend Sergin during my first academic day at Karunya. He was also instrumental in bringing me closer to God. During my 2nd year, I witnessed miracles from Jesus in the healing services conducted by DGS Dhinakaran uncle and Paul anna. One of the favourite song of DGS uncle "Nee illatha naal ellam" always touched my heart. I always encountered a compassionate God through his sermons. During one of the fasting prayer meetings by DGS uncle, God anointed me with the Holy Spirit and gave me the "Gift of Tongues". When I received the anointing, I was thirsty to have conversation with Jesus every day. The Holy Spirit started to interpret the word of God when I started to read the Bible with thirst. The more I became thirsty, the more love of Jesus started to overflow in me. Later, the Holy Spirit in me penned the lyrics and harmonised my first song of love for Jesus. With the anointing, I led worship sessions at prayer cells. In the third year, I started to share the word of God at prayer cells and also at the departmental prayers. Thereafter, God began to use me for Malayalam worship service. God gave a desire to few of my seniors for Malayalam congregation that resulted in an outreach camp at Charalkunnu in
Summary: I thought I would be of no use in this world during my school days. Fear always gripped me and I always landed in problems. Through these years, Jesus was trying to tell me that I (Nidhin) am not alone but Jesus will fight the battle for me. I still believe I am zero without Jesus. If I am proud of my achievements it is only because Jesus made me complete and took away my incompleteness (stammering, learning disorder etc) from me. I am waiting to hear from God to do a full- time ministry so that I may resign from my secular job in future. I believe that God makes all events in our lives happen according to His time. All glory to Jesus who is faithful in my life. He will do wonders in your lives too. - NIDHIN GEORGE JACOB, (2006-2010 B.Tech Biotechnology) NETHERLANDS

Sis. Evangeline Paul: A dear sister once wrote to me saying that the Lord has filled her family with goodness. Perhaps the Lord has done so due to her persistent prayers. But still she is worried about her husband who does not know the love of God. In a situation as such, the first thing we must do is to thank Him for all the goodness! We are in this world not for ourselves but for the Lord. As we begin praising, blessings shall naturally enfold us. My mother did exactly that. It was at the time when my father wasn’t saved. Dr. Paul Dhinakaran: There was no connection between your father and God. Your mother was a person of prayer but your father did not know Jesus at all. He did not know the love of Jesus. Sis. Evangeline Paul: But he was touched by the love of my mother. My mother used to fast and pray for my father persistently. My father took care of my mother and managed the affairs of the family pretty well. But he did not know the love of Jesus. God saved my father soon after as my mother made a covenant, asking God to choose one of us for His service. Dr. Paul Dhinakaran: It is dangerous to make such vows by ourselves. Some people would say, I will do this, I will do that. After that they will lament when they are unable to accomplish their vow by saying, “Oh, I am not able to do it, will God be angry with me”. If it is by the leading of the Lord, then you should make that vow. The Lord spoke to your mother, Evangeline, because the Lord had predetermined you. Your mother did 20

Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and Sis. Evangeline Paul share their response to a viewer’s question that reads:

not know that. But since the Lord knew it, He spoke to your mother. Then your mother made a vow. Therefore do not make any vows like “If You transform my husband, I will do this or that” out of mere emotion. The leading of the Lord will arouse you. Then you shall make that and keep that vow. Sis. Evangeline Paul: Despite my mother’s agony due to cancer, she wept at the feet of the Lord for my father’s salvation. That very night, my father had a vision. My dad had not seen Jesus nor does not know how the face of Jesus would look like. So the Lord showed him D. G. S. Dhinakaran. All my father knew was the Jesus Calls ministry because my mother used to take us to the meetings. In his vision he saw D. G. S. Dhinakaran appa gently combing his hair with his fingers as my father was lying in his lap. It was then he realized God’s love. Dr. Paul Dhinakaran: At the time we did not know each other. Our parents did not know that we would get married. Sis. Evangeline Paul: As my mother’s condition worsened, ministers of God visited her every day and wept for her in prayer. My father realized the love of Jesus through those preachers who wept for my mother without any reason. What a mighty plan! Out of my mother’s sickness, he came to know of the love of Jesus! We admitted my mother in a hospital at Vellore. My father would kneel down and pray at the chapel in the hospital. God’s messages would be played through intercoms and my father used to listen to those. Only after the complete transformation of my father did the Lord chose me. My father did not love God but my mother did. She prayed incessantly. Psalms 127:2 says “In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat- for He grants sleep to those He loves”. All we do is wake up early, work and eat. But actually we are supposed to wake up early and pray. Even the husbands must rise up early and pray. Rather working all day for earthy benefits; love, pray together and rejoice. Praise God for your children and your wife. Let us stop grumbling and start praising the Lord for what He has given us. Ask God to reveal the needs of your family and He shall surely guide you in doing so. May the grace of the Lord be with you. May the Lord provide this divine guidance to all those who need this right now. www.jesuscalls.org - July 2019 JESUS CALLS

Instantly healed I had been suffering from piles every now and then for several years. Then in June 2018 I suffered from excessive bleeding. I was watching on YouTube, the Jesus Calls World Prayer Convention held in Jerusalem that month. Pastor Benny Hinn spoke and prayed powerfully. Many were getting healed and I was expecting a personal touch as well. Towards the end of the event, Bro. Paul Dhinakaran said a short prayer asking God for healing for all people. At that time I felt a pull in my guts; my hand trembled and I knew I was healed. I have not had any bleeding since then. It’s almost a year since I received this instant healing and I praise God for the Jesus Calls ministry. - Hepsie David, BANGALORE
Miraculous healing My husband and I were staying at my mother-inlaw’s house in Trichy. Suddenly in 2016, my husband developed an itching in his left leg. First it was only a little but gradually boils began to appear from his toe to the knee. We did not take it seriously and were just applying ointments etc. One day when he scratched it in his sleep, blood and pus came out of it. We then started medication in several hospitals but there was no improvement and his condition worsened. He could neither bend 22
JESUS CALLS July 2019 - www.jesuscalls.org
his knees nor walk. This situation continued for 4 months. I put all my burdens on the Lord, brought my husband from Trichy to Chennai and admitted him in a hospital. On examining him, the doctors said that the left leg is infected and it has to be amputated. On one side my husband was writhing in pain and on the other side I was weeping bitterly to the Lord, “Lord, do we have to remove the leg? What will I do? Will I be orphaned as I am childless?” In this situation I happened to read the Jesus Calls magazine and came to know that Dr. Paul Dhinakaran is praying for people at the Prayer Tower on 1st May 2018. Though the doctors were reluctant to discharge him, somehow I managed to bring him to the Prayer Tower with his leg bandaged. Dr. Paul Dhinakaran prayed for him and gave us some advice and we followed them. Miraculous changes started to happen from then onwards. That night, as he was lying in the hospital bed, blue-ish green colour liquid mixed with a little pus came out of the boils and the swelling in his leg subsided. The next day his left leg looked as good as the other leg. This miracle happened exactly at the same time we prayed with Dr. Paul the previous day. Now it’s almost a year and both his legs are normal and he is fully healed; walks briskly; drives the car and does all the work. I made a vow to God that if my husband gets healed and walks normally, I will send him for any work in God’s ministry. Now he is assisting the Pastor in the church we attend. All glory to GOD. - Jena, Chennai
HIGH MARKS My daughter NEHA MARIAM SONY, is a Young Partner. She appeared for her SSLC exam in March 2019. Though she was the topper in her class, she was very much afraid to face the public exams. She was going through much stress and her confidence was wavering. She was very anxious about the exams and cried a lot. She was afraid that she would not get A+ in all subjects. Due to this anxiety she was not taking proper food as well. As a family, all of us were much worried about her and crying to God for her. We fasted and prayed and made a vow that we will publish her testimony in the Jesus Calls magazine. My sister in Chennai met Dr. Paul Dhinakaran in person and requested him for prayers. She also wrote a letter to him. In the Student's Exam Prayer Meet 2019 held in Chennai, she gave this prayer request on behalf of my daughter. We used to call the Prayer Tower often for prayers for our daughter. She used the prayer mentioned in the Jesus Calls exam prayer card. During exams she used to call the Prayer Tower for prayers. As a family, we visited Dr. D.G.S. Dhinakaran Memorial Prayer Tower, Chennai on 16/04/2019. We prayed there and gave an offering. The prayer intercessor prayed for her with much burden and encouraged her. God heard all the prayers and blessed her with A+ in all 10 subjects. All glory to God alone! From the bottom of my heart I thank Dr. Paul Dhinakaran & all prayer intercessors who prayed for her. - SONY JOSEPH, MANGANAM, KOTTAYAM, KERALA.

My support to the Digitization Project as led by the Lord (please tick)
As you contribute with all your heart, you shall by all means be blessed just like Brother Ragland who testifies as follows: “Although I was born in a Christian family, I did not experience salvation and was far from God. In 1980, in a meeting as dear Bro. Dhinakaran was speaking, I received God’s love. In 2000, I was led by the Lord to quit my Government job and involve into full time ministry. Our ministry is called “Jesus for you.” As I started serving the Lord, I made a covenant with God, asking Him to take me ahead in ministry without ever borrowing money from anyone. I enrolled myself to be a partner in Jesus Calls as I got saved through it. Just as I did so, the Lord started blessing my ministry and helped me to reach many countries to serve Him. I even made both my sons Young Partners. God graciously opened doors and made them study in Karunya University and they are shining in their spiritual lives as well. As I attended last year’s Partners Meet at Tambaram, I offered Rs 6000/- for the digitization of the messages of dear Bro. Dhinakaran. Upon accepting my offering, Bro. Paul Dhinakaran prayed and blessed me saying, “Lord, help him get this money back a hundred fold.” Within a week’s time as I was ministering, exactly as said by Bro. Paul, the Lord gave me back the money a hundred fold. The Lord who keeps His promises is indeed faithful and enables me to run my family without debts! Praise be to the Lord! I’m serving Him powerfully. Glory to God.”

The World Prayer Convention 2019 was held in the Jesus Calls Israel Prayer Tower situated on the 20th floor of the City Tower in Jerusalem from May 21-23, 2019 26
JESUS CALLS July 2019 - www.jesuscalls.org
We had 123 participants from the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Barbados, Australia, New Zealand & India. This year’s World Prayer Convention was unique in many ways. As the Bible says in Mathew 22:14, “Many are called but few are chosen”. Accordingly, we believe that every one of the participants gathered were clearly chosen as they sat at the feet of the Lord over the three days and allowed the Holy Spirit to minister to them. It was an apt topic and pleasant surprise to have Dr. Paul Dhinakaran in his sessions speaking about Tarrying with the Lord. As the participants had specifically come to rest in the presence of
the Lord, this topic resonated well with everyone. One session everyday was set apart to pray for the anointing of the Holy Spirit on the people. As Sister Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran led these sessions each day, there was a very powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit. As God’s strong anointing came upon her, many people were filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. Secondly, this year, visits to important Biblical sites such as Shilo, Bethel, Bible Garden,Garden Tomb were woven into the schedule. This was to usher in the flavor of the Biblical event to the sessions of teaching and prayer.
On the second day evening at the conclusion of the day’s proceedings, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran & Sister Evangeline took time to lay hands upon each and every participant to prophecy and pray for God’s blessings in their lives. During this time, some of them who were unable to withstand God’s power that came upon them, fell down and received a time of refreshing as they got back on their feet. There was a great time of praise & worship everyday in different languages including Hebrew that the participants greatly enjoyed. God truly inhabited the praises of His people in
these worship times. The worship leaders were instrumental in leading the people in the praise of our awesome God. At the end of the Convention, people were so blessed that they didn’t have the heart to go back home. The upcoming World Prayer Convention in 2020 is going to be special. It will be during the third week of May, 2020 in Israel. If you have a desire to participate, please start praying and planning. God will enable you and provide everything that is required for the trip. Just trust God and He will fulfill the desire of your heart. Watch out for more details.

“We are the proud partners of Jesus Calls ministries for quite a number of years. Our children, since childhood are Young Partners too. The Lord has blessed our children in all aspects of their lives through the Dhinakarans and through the incessant prayers of the prayer intercessors at the 24-hour Telephone Prayer Towers. In 2012 at the Partners Meet in Hyderabad, dear Brother Paul Dhinakaran prayed for my daughter Hamsika, who was doing her 2nd year in her Intermediate studies back then. He prophesied saying, “She is going to get a medical seat on a silver plate.” Soon after her studies, exactly as prophesied, she got placed in a medical college in Hyderabad. She has completed her MBBS with flying colours and is now preparing to pursue her post-graduation in the United States! Again in 2015, dear brother Paul Dhinakaran prophesied about my son Nishanth and said, “He is going to get the desired seat in college.” In the same year, he got placed in a medical college in Hyderabad, and now he is in the 4th year of his studies! The ever-faithful God fulfilled all the prophecies in the lives of my children who are the Young Partners of the Jesus Calls ministry and blessed them! I praise and thank God for dear Brother Paul Dhinakaran and the Jesus Calls Ministry. All Glory to God alone!” - Mrs. Manjula Charan, Hyderabad

Let’s be honest. We all know that one person who is continually negative. The person who never seems to be satisfied with anything or anyone. Negative people are almost always complainers, without fail. Worse, complainers are not satisfied in keeping their thoughts and feelings to themselves; instead, they’ll seek out some unwilling participant and vent.
Research shows that most people complain every one minute in a typical conversation. It is tempting to complain because it feels good, some might even seem to enjoy it. But like certain other things that people seem to enjoy--such as smoking-complaining is not good for us. Our brains love efficiency and doesn’t want to work harder than it has to (can we blame it?). So when you repeat a behaviour, such as complaining, the neurons branch out to each other to ease the flow of information. This makes it easier to repeat a behaviour in future and you might not even know that you’re doing it. So, your neurons grow closer together and the connections between them become more permanent. Scientists like to describe this process as, “Neurons that fire together, wire together.” Repeated complaining rewires your brain to make future complaining more likely. Over time, you find it’s easier to be negative than to be positive, regardless of what’s happening around you. Complaining becomes your default behavior. Something even more worrisome is that complaining damages other parts of your brain as well. A research from Stanford University has shown that complaining shrinks the hippocampus - an area of the brain that’s critical to problem solving and intelligent thought. Yikes!!! 30
JESUS CALLS July 2019 - www.jesuscalls.org
The solution to complaining cultivate an attitude of thanksgiving When you feel the need to complain, shift your attention to something you’re grateful for. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” No matter what situation you’re stuck in, there is always something to be grateful for. Did you wake up this morning? Be thankful for it. Many are struggling for life and didn’t get to see a new day. Secondly if you feel the need to complain, determine the outcome you’re looking for. If you can’t find a purpose, there’s a very good chance you want to complain simply for the sake of it. James 5:9 gives us a warning that says, “Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door.” A suggested approach is solution-oriented complaining. Now solutionoriented complaining when you have a purpose in mind. This way you simply do not complain for the sake of it, rather bring to light your issue (complain) whilst suggesting measures that can to be taken to avoid further inconvenience. Be specific of what annoyed you and come to point of closure.
Your company matters Human beings are inherently social and so naturally and unconsciously our brain mimics the
mood of those we spend a lot of time with. This process is called neuronal mirroring and it’s the basis for us to feel empathy. On the flipside it makes complaining a lot like smoking--you don’t have to do it yourself to suffer the ill effects. 1 Corinthians 15:33 says, “Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character." Think about it like this--if a person was smoking near you, would you sit around them and inhale all the second hand smoke? No, you’d distance yourself from them. Same goes for the complainers. The moods and habits of the people who you hang out with will always have an influence on you. Use this opportunity to influence others rather than being influenced by them. It is easier said than done. But this is where the Holy Spirit steps in. He is also called a Helper for a reason. Let’s learn to use our words wisely. Whenever you open your mouth to speak, consider: is what I am saying going to build up my friends? Here’s an even better question to ask: Would Jesus say this?

“Daddy, there is still time for Christmas but you have bought some baubles for the Christmas tree already!” shrieked John as he was ransacking his dad’s bag to find something to play with. “John, don’t shout. Look carefully. They are not baubles. I think they should be a variety of grapes from Africa. They look small and cute, right?! Just taste and see” said his sister Anita in her own nonchalant voice. “I think daddy has got a box of blueberries for us from Africa” said mom unpacking other suitcases.
“What do you mean by discernment dad? I’ve never heard of this at my school”, asked perplexed Anita.
With a desire to impart the essence of the subject, dad opened the Bible and “Oh! No” came an urgent voice from dad who continued, began to narrate the story of King “They are not Christmas baubles nor grapes. Neither are Solomon: “Two women lived in the same they blueberries.” “What are they then?” asked curious house.

Birds use them to decorate their nests”, said dad. “What happened to the dead baby?” Surprised, mom went into the kitchen to bring tea for everyone. Amidst the conversation came a cracking sound. asked John. John with great eagerness had opened the fruit. “Daddy, “She took her dead child and put it near look here! There is nothing but only seeds. It’s a cheating that other woman.” fruit.” Dad resumed and said, “What John said is true. It is a “That’s too bad. Cheating…cheating” said cheating fruit. It mimics the blueberries that grow in the John gripped by the story. nearby zone in Africa.” Dad continued, “Next morning, the “Why did you bring it then from all the way from Africa?” woman saw the dead baby in her bed queried mom sipping her tea. “Well, I heard God speaking and found it’s not hers.

Meanwhile, mom served some African cookies. “How dare that woman who stole the baby to appear before the king!” wondered John but enjoying his cookie. “I think she would have put on a wailing face before the king like you often do before dad” chuckled Anita at John. Dad quieted them and continued, “Both of them claimed that the living baby was theirs. The king sought after God’s wisdom and discernment in his heart to make a just judgment. Then, he immediately commanded his soldier to bring a sword and ordered him to divide the child into two halves and give to each woman. “Cutting the baby??!! Dad, did they proceed with it?” asked John and Anita. “Before it could happen, the real mother pleaded the king not to kill the baby and to give the baby alive to the other woman. But, that cheating woman told the king to cut the baby into two” continued dad. “How cruel is she!” exclaimed Anita. “Now, the king discerned the real mother and handed over the baby to the woman who pleaded not to kill the baby.” Both gave a sigh of relief as they finished eating the cookies too. Mom interrupted and said: “Now I remember what Charles Spurgeon, a great preacher said: Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong but it is knowing the difference between right and almost right.” Anita and John glared at the metallic ‘Pollia’ fruit which had distilled a great lesson on discernment into their hearts. Both of them took it to their souvenir bank and they both prayed in their hearts saying: “Teach me good discernment and knowledge, for I believe in Your commandments” (Psalm 119:66) DEAR KIDS, the Lord invites you today to grow in His wisdom and discernment. Sit at God’s feet and ask Him to teach you good discernment as mentioned in Psalm 119:66.

The next year, in a Women’s Annual Meeting, the servant of God spoke on the verse, ‘Faith without works is dead’ which touched Punitha. Chennai is known for pankanapalli mangoes, which are not much available down south. A vendor was selling those on a street. On seeing them, Lincy was reminded of those days when her father used to buy her three crates full of mangoes whenever he visited Chennai on duty. She simply relished eating them. After marriage, once as she asked her husband to get those mangoes for her and he said, “Mom is the deciding authority. She is the one who takes care of everything.. so better ask her….” Lincy was scared of her mother-in-law. The way she looked at her always spooked Lincy. Out of her craving for those mangoes, she gathered all her courage and asked her mother-in-law, “Mom, a vendor is selling mangoes. Would you please get me some?” “I don’t have a habit of buying things from street vendors” replied Punitha, Lincy’s mother-in-law, abruptly. Lincy was taken aback by this reply. She knew that her husband would not be able to buy them since he always handed over his entire salary to his mother. Controlling her craving for mangoes, she looked longingly at Vanitha, the street sweeper, going off with a basket full of mangoes.
Her helplessness in getting a trivial eatable as such, oppressed her. She felt like talking to her mother and crying her heart out. That was when she was reminded of Nancy Aunty’s words at the youth counseling meeting. “Rather than telling your problems and difficulties to others, telling them to the Lord is the right thing to do… It is wrong to talk bad about anyone, even if they harass us. If we remain still, the Lord would fight the battle for us.” Lincy held on to these words and started praying whenever she got upset and remained quiet. Days passed. One day, when the older daughter-in-law arrived, Punitha, her mother-in-law prepared her favourite food items crabs and prawns - in plenty. The dining table was filled with all sorts of sweets and fruits. Lincy wondered if the special treatment was because the elder daughter-in-law was Punithas’s brother’s daughter. Punitha, who had bought panganapalli mangoes for herself, shared those with her son, her servant, their driver and finally gave two small pieces to Lincy. This broke her! Lincy unburdened herself at the feet of the Lord and strengthened herself.
He also added, “whats the point in just saying you love your daughter-in-law as your daughter without projecting it in your actions. If you want your son to be happy, you must love your daughter-in-law. If you don’t treat your daughter-inlaw lovingly, you are simply profaning God’s name there by grieving Him.” The debate, skit, songs and the messages moved Punitha’s heart. The fear of whether her daughterin-law will fail to take care of her as she falls sick, gripped her. That very night, as Lincy’s husband announced that he was supposed to leave for Singapore for 2 years for a project, Punitha was scared. She was worried if both her son and Lincy would leave together, leaving her all by herself. As she was contemplating this in her heart, Lincy said, “How can mom stay alone? Let us take her with us”. Those words melted Punitha’s heart and she hugged her daughter-in-law warmly. That very day, all the bitterness in Punitha vanished. A divine love for her daughter-in-law filled her! “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory” (II Corinthians 4:17). www.jesuscalls.org - July 2019 JESUS CALLS

In the lives of women, particularly because of physical weakness and illness, they get affected and lose their balance. Dr. Hannah is a dear sister, who is married and has two children. Recently her husband Mr. Merlyn got a job in Atlanta, in the United States of America. As a family, they shifted there from India. Initially they faced series of problems one after the other and yet they held on to the Lord Jesus as a family because of which they overcame everything through their 40

godly zeal. The Lord Jesus Christ who said, “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world� (John 16:33), was their hope and great support. It was at this time, that Dr. Hannah came to know about the Esther Prayer Ministry that revives the lives of women, and she desired to conduct one. Last year, when I had been to America, I came to know about the genuine way in which women in different cities
were conducting prayer through conference call and I also joined them in the prayer ministry. At that time I was amazed to know how reverentially and zealously Dr. Hannah was undertaking the responsibility of conducting the prayer group entrusted to her by God. Pouring out all her strength, she is conducting this divine prayer ministry unceasingly till today, with the fear of God. On a particular day Dr. Hannah found it hard to conduct the Esther Prayer ministry since she had severe sore throat; yet she finished conducting the prayer along with other sisters. After it was over, she became weary but within a few hours, the Lord did a mighty deed that made her rejoice….
Here is her miraculous testimony! Read on… “On April 11th 2019, with severe sore throat I finished conducting the Esther Prayer Group for 2 ½ hours. I was very tired. Suddenly the doubt, ‘Does God really hear all the prayers for the prayer points given in Esther Prayer Group?’ popped up in my mind. ‘Is Jesus really pleased with the prayers offered today in the Esther Prayer Group? Is this prayer really a blessing in someone’s life? Have I labored in vain?’ I got discouraged by these questions and soon I realized that these were the weeds of discouragement and doubt sown by the enemy in my mind. So I prayed that God would strengthen me. Two hours later, I received a call from a sister who is now in another city in USA. She asked me, “Hannah, did you have Esther Prayer Group prayer today?” I was surprised and asked her how she knew that. Since she is a working woman she has never attended the Esther Prayer Group prayer and she had no clue that I was conducting it. She said, “Today at around 11:30am, I received a divine favor”. She was being tortured by her lady boss constantly for no reason. But on that day exactly at 11:30 am in her office she got a very good report from the company, appreciating her for her wonderful work. Hence she was miraculously removed from her position under that lady who was torturing her and she
was asked to report directly to another humble and a good manager of higher rank. I quickly ran to take my EPG April prayer points paper and found the 9th and 10th points were being prayed exactly at the time she had mentioned. I was particularly surprised by looking at the 9th prayer point. 9th Prayer Point “Let us pray fervently for women who hold high positions and are arrogant; as stated in Daniel 4:35 they should humble themselves in the hand of the Lord and follow His example of humility and be transformed to be like Him.” I could not believe my own eyes. I felt a great joy filling my heart. That sister also said that when she was praying, God told her that prayers were being offered in the Esther Prayer Group. She also added, “Hannah, God asked me to pray for your throat. You are suffering from pain caused by the enemy and God has said “I will heal my daughter who prays for Dr. Hannah others with tears”. She prayed a powerful prayer for me and the next day I was totally healed from the pain and irritation of throat that was troubling me so much. I also praised God for clearing all my doubts and discouragements and showing His great love for me and for making me understand how much it pleases Him, when His children bear one another’s burdens and pray for them. Through this testimony it became crystal clear that God answers every point that we pray for in the Esther Prayer Group and blesses those who pray with real burden. All the enemy’s wicked arrows are broken at that point by the power of God. Hallelujah! - Hannah Merlyn Atlanta, United States of America. www.jesuscalls.org - July 2019 JESUS CALLS

house’ (Hebrews 3:5). In Hebrews 3:6 we read about the good testimony of Christ Jesus. The Lord calls the ‘faithful’ women to do the Esther Prayer ministry. So, it is necessary that we, the women commit ourselves whole heartedly for this divine ministry and carry this out faithfully and reverentially before Him. Let us read the testimonies of a few sisters who have been conducting this ministry with a faithful heart from the beginning and how the Lord God has revived their spiritual lives and changed them into good testimonies; and let us also be revived. May the Lord fill this dear daughter who is doing the Esther Prayer Ministry with full vigor with power of the Holy Spirit more and more; may He grant her a life of bearing fruit for Him and increase her ministry! May the Lord help many more young prayer warriors to rise up just like this young mother Dr. Hannah who is also encouraging her 7 year old daughter to conduct the Junior Esther Prayer Group and is guiding her beautifully, for the glory of His name! It becomes necessary in women’s lives to pray that the Lord should enable many to rise up as prayer warriors according to Galatians 6:2, which says, “Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ’. May the Lord adorn such women, who ‘faithfully’ fulfill this God-given ministry in all reverence, with His Spirit! The Bible says, ‘A faithful man will abound with blessings’ (Proverbs 28:20). The Bible also says, “the faithful disappear from among the sons of men’ (Psalm 12:1). Accordingly, even in the Esther Prayer ministry, many do not conduct this divine ministry with reverence and are not faithful and are indifferent towards God. How painful this is! In the Bible we read the testimony that David was faithful in his house (I Samuel 22:14). We also read that ‘Moses was faithful in all His 42

Spiritual Growth Through Esther Prayer Ministry I would like to share with you how my spiritual life was revived through the Esther Prayer Group ministry according to the vision given by the Lord to dear mother. At first I was just a member of an Esther Prayer Group that was conducted near my house and I was praying in that group. I was an average believer and had the desire that somehow I should do ministry for the Lord. The Lord knew my desire and gave me the chance to begin an Esther Prayer Group in my home. By this I was able to see a great revival in my spiritual life. By conducting this Esther Prayer Group, all the fears and inhibitions in me left. I clearly learnt how to pray for others, being filled with the anointing and claiming the promise verses with thanksgiving. Through this, I, who was thinking only about me, until then, received the zeal to pray for other women who need our prayers being in greater sorrow and tears. Through this prayer ministry, I understood how the Scriptures are essential to progress in spiritual life. In Esther Prayer Group we feel a different and a divine anointing being poured out upon us.
Our group, which had 8 members initially, has now grown into 20 members. All the sisters, who came here without knowing how to pray have now received the privilege of seeing visions and have received good testimonies from their husbands and children. Also, the Lord is using me as the coordinator for the Esther Prayer Group to meet the leaders of the groups to encourage and revive them, and also to form new groups in various places. Hence I rejoice in the Lord by the thought that I am an Esther Prayer Warrior. Through the testimonies of the sisters who pray in our group, we very well experience that the 20 prayer points given for the group every month are given by the Holy Spirit Himself through dear mother. Through this ministry the Lord is giving me the desire to be on fire for the Lord with godly zeal and to arise and shine for Him and is helping me to fulfill His will. Thanks be to the Lord! - Vidi Kingsley, Chennai.
Fruits of the Spirit and Power in the Esther Prayer Ministry Millions of praises to the Most High God who got me associated with the Esther Prayer Group for over 20 years and is still keeping me going strong. This is purely by the grace of the God of gods, the King of kings and the Lord of lords! Every day, He leads us into excellent spiritual experiences of abiding in Jesus, the Vine and working with Him. He pours out His Holy Spirit upon us in an immeasurable way and makes us rejoice in the abundant showers of anointing. By His grace He wonderfully leads us to always interact with Jesus, glorify Him by singing in tongues and to manifest Him through visions. He makes us hear His voice of love. He clearly shows us where to go and what to speak. He gives us the burden to pray for all whom we see. He helps us to live solely for Him, trusting only Him. He gives us the garment of praise to thank God, the Father for everything and at all times. He embraces us with His immeasurable love and adorns us with the fruits and gifts of the Spirit. All these are the glorious things of the Esther Prayer Group that has been formed by the
divine will of Jesus through the Jesus Calls ministry. Oh, what a wonderful privilege it is for women to enjoy praying in the Esther Prayer Group that makes everyone – from children to old women – to live in connection with our glorious Lord Jesus in heaven right here on this earth! - Diana Rajasingh, Madurai.
Esther Prayer Ministry Raised up by Fasting By the grace of God, He helped me to start the Esther Prayer Group Ministry. When I sat at the Lord’s feet with fasting, humbled myself and prayed, many women began to gather for the prayer. As a result there was a big change in my spiritual life also. When I began to pray for others, there was a miraculous deliverance. Day by day, the prayer group began to expand. The burden for souls increased in me. I taught many to pray and encouraged them. As a result, many Esther Prayer Group leaders rose up from our group. Wherever I went, I would never fail to talk about the Esther Prayer Group. I can see the name of God being glorified when I follow dear mother’s instructions studiously and walk by them. When dear mother entrusted me with the responsibility as the coordinator of the Virudhunagar district, I began to work with fasting. Hence, today several Esther Prayer Groups have started functioning. Still I am not satisfied and am continuing to work hard. Since I am fulfilling this ministry unceasingly, with reverence there is a great joy in me and my life is getting revived. Praise be to the Lord! Sis. Glory Rajayogam, Sivakasi.
Prayer Brings Victory It was a time of rest after tirelessly working faithfully for the students, for 37 years. I could not forget the time when I used to wholeheartedly share the love of Jesus to the school children and prayed with the teachers who had great thirst for prayer. It was at this time, as per God’s leading, He graciously helped me to start the Esther Prayer Group on 13th May 2006. Since many had gathered to pray, the prayer time was sweet.

burden for the 20 prayer points and meditating on the verses given are spiritual food for us, for each month. There is a big change in everyone’s prayer life. To pray early in the mornings became a priority in my life. There was also a change in my Bible reading pattern, praying and seeking the Lord. Through Esther Prayer Ministry, we were pricked in our heart to give up certain things in life and were urged to lead holy lives. We began praying in an ordinary way, but now we are experiencing what it is to stand in the gap and pray. We have a special burden to pray for perishing women. It is a great privilege for us to pray being filled with the Spirit and sharing our visions. We rightfully call our Esther Prayer Group, ‘Esther Family”. It is the special love of our Esther family to pray with oneness of mind for women in the Esther prayer group
as well as for one another in our personal prayer. It is indeed a special thing that we share any urgent prayer request through the Esther Prayer Group WhatsApp and pray with faith. There are certain prayer-points for which we have been continually praying for 13 years. We are waiting with faith for those things to be fulfilled. It cannot be denied that the grace of the Lord and His guidance is literally upon every family because of the Esther prayer. May the Lord richly bless dear Sister Stella Dhinakaran who is the reason for bringing a great revival among the Esther Prayer Group women! Those who join the Esther Prayer Group and wholeheartedly pray will never be put to shame! - Mrs. Viola Dhanraj, Trichy.

In John 4 we read about an incident where Jesus goes to Samaria. He sits by a well, being wearied by the journey. Then a Samaritan woman comes to draw water from the well.

On hearing it, the woman, although a Samaritan, believed His words and asked Him for the water. Jesus revealed everything about her past and her present which shocked her. The guidance

Malaysia Prayer Tower Miracle God! I have a son who is 9 years old. He has been having rashes all over his body for years. We have sought the help of many specialists to cure my son of his ailing condition, but in vain. In a state of desperation, I was given the number 03 7960 7370 to call as I was told that I would receive prayers. After informing the prayer intercessor of my son’s condition and that all the doctors’ medication had failed to bring any relief to my son, I also informed her that the rash was a hereditary disease from my father. She then prayed and broke this generational curse. My son is now completely healed and requires no more medication. I have started to put all my faith and trust in Jesus Christ because only He could heal my son. -Mrs . Meenachi, Malaysia

ISRAEL PRAYER TOWER Testimony
Sisters from Madagascar sharing their visions and testimony with Sis. Evangeline Paul at Israel Prayer Tower in May 2019. Prophecy received for this prayer ministry in this Israel Prayer Tower: "I saw the Lord coming into the sanctuary room of this Israel Prayer Tower. Then came the word "Open up, O ancient gates, and let the King of glory" (Psalm 24:7). Then I saw a few rows of the front chairs in both sides of the room turned over with noise as if a mighty wind blew them up. Then again I received a word in Haggai 2:9. According to this word in Haggai I think the
Lord desires to make this Prayer Center a torrent of peace like the torrent of living water flowing, first to the land of Israel (Ezekiel 47:5-7) and then for all the nations (Ezekiel 47:8 & 9). Later I received Zechariah 1:12-17 and Isaiah 40:1 & 2. Those passages reminded me of Dr. Paul and Mrs. Evangeline Paul about their hearts of great compassion for people. I think the Lord wants them to be moved with the same compassion for Jerusalem and the Jewish people through this Prayer Tower as well as those who are assigned to pray here.
