GOD SUPPLIES OUR NEEDSEvangeline Paul Dhinakaran

He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.    (Psalm 145:19)

Dearly beloved, God will fulfill all your needs. I present below the testimony of Bro. Kurian Jose who received God’s blessings in his life:

"I got married in 2001. My first daughter is Sherlin and my second son is Samuel. Initially, we were living peacefully. But as days passed by, we started facing problems.

"At this juncture, I was selected for the job of a sanitary worker. Considering the condition of my family, I took up the job with much reluctance. Normally, I would work just for 3 months or 8 months or maximum a year in any place. I would never stick to a job permanently.

"During 2009, we were going through much poverty. I lost my job and we could not have three square meal a day. We had no money to pay the school fees for our children. Several times, we received warning letters from the school. All our relatives forsook us.

"One day, my wife approached one of our relatives for help, but he refused. She was heartbroken. She cried out to God saying, 'Lord Jesus, why should I go through this poverty? I am unable to give proper food for my children. I have become a useless person. Lord, please change the condition of my family and bless us.' After the prayer, the Lord changed the heart of that relative and he helped us in a small way. With that money, I could pay my children’s school fees. I could not even buy the eatables which my children wanted.

"One day, I was really heartbroken and hence I wanted to commit suicide. So I thought of taking an insurance policy. I thought if I committed suicide, at least my children would get the money. Immediately I phoned up my friend. He advised me saying, 'Do not commit suicide. Lord Jesus Christ is alive even today. He will certainly help you. There is a Jesus Calls Prayer Festival going on in Vellore. You attend this meeting and surely God will do a miracle for you.'

"Accordingly, as a family, we attended the Jesus Calls Prayer Festival held in Vellore during January 2010. I told the Lord, ‘Lord Jesus, I have come for this meeting and this is my last meeting.’ However, I participated in the prayer with much faith. During the prayer time, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran said, “The Lord says, 'So far you have gone through the path of difficulty, the path of sorrow and the path of shame. But I will do everything only for your good, my children. I will prosper the work of your hands and make you rejoice'” Those words removed all the sorrow from my heart and I was filled with joy.

"We participated in those meetings on all the 3 days and returned to Bengaluru. That night, around 10’o clock, someone phoned me and said, 'Mr. Kurian, there is a manager’s post vacant. Can you attend the interview?' Accordingly, the next day, I attended the interview. That same day, I received my appointment order. I was amazed to know that I would be paid Rs. 25,000/- per month as salary. The Lord not only blessed me who was doing the sanitary work with a manager’s job, but also enabled me to get Rs. 25,000/ - per month as salary. During the first month, I just worked for nine days. But still I received the full salary.

"I had already pledged that I would donate my first salary to the Jesus Calls ministry. Accordingly, I sent my first salary to the ministry. Then every month, I started supporting the various facets of the Jesus Calls ministry. The Lord enabled us to enjoy double portion of His blessings. Presently, I am receiving Rs. 40,000/- per month as salary. Yes, the Lord is showering His blessings upon our family. He Himself is guiding our family and we are very happy.”

Dearly beloved, it is the Lord who saved this brother and his family who wanted to commit suicide and enabled them to live happily. He saved, healed and comforted their souls and blessed them in an abundant measure. In the same way, He will prosper you also. The Lord will certainly prosper you in everything just as your soul prospers.

The Bible says, “He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them” (Psalm 145:19). God will listen to your earnest prayers and miraculously deliver you from your troubles. He will fulfill all your needs.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are the Living God. I cry out to You for your divine assistance. Hear my cry for help and deliver me from my troubles through a miracle. Prosper the work of my hands. Enable me to enjoy double portion of your blessings. Remove all sorrow from my heart and fill me with joy.

I ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

GOD WILL DELIVER YOUPaul Dhinakaran

The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.     (Psalm 34:7)

Dearly beloved, our God is the mighty Deliverer. He will never forsake you.

Some years ago, a certain young man came to the Jesus Calls office. He was born in a very influential family. His father was a big merchant. No one in his family desired to know Lord Jesus.

But this young man had a great love for Lord Jesus since his boyhood. He loved the Jesus Calls ministry also. He wouldn’t go to see any film, and all the time he would be engaged with the Jesus Calls audio/ video cassettes.

His parents feared that he won’t attend to the family’s business but become a preacher. They prevented him from attending the Jesus Calls meetings. On those days when meetings were held, they would lock him inside a room. Yes! Very often, those of our own household may turn against us.

Our God is merciful. He is mighty to deliver you from all your problems. The Bible says, “The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them” (Psalm 34:7). When you call upon the Lord, He will hear your cry. He will miraculously deliver you from all your problems. He will command His angels to guard you. He will enable you to lead a peaceful life.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

I call upon You for help. You are mighty to deliver me from all my problems. Please hear my cry and have mercy on me. I trust in You for your divine help. Deliver me from all my problems through your mighty power. Help me to lead a peaceful life.

I ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

LIFE THROUGH THE CROSSStella Dhinakaran

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.    (John 3:16)

Dearly beloved, Lord Jesus Christ said, “I am the way, the truth and the life” (John 14:6).

Once when I was travelling in a plane to another country, I looked through the window while the plane was taxiing in the runway. Then I was amazed to see a small vehicle guiding the big plane. It had the legend “Follow Me” written on it. Although the plane was a huge one, it had to follow that small vehicle in order to reach its destination in the airport.

In the same way, Lord Jesus Christ also says, “If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me” (Luke 9:23; Luke 5:27).

When Lord Jesus Christ sojourned on this earth, He went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan. That time, a man ran up to Him and fell on his knees and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Lord Jesus replied, “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven. Then take up your cross and follow Me.” Hearing that his face fell and he went away sad, because he had great wealth (Mark 10:17-21).

The Bible says, “But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matthew 7:14).

Today, Lord Jesus Christ is sitting down at the right hand of the throne of God after enduring the cross and the shame, because He knew the joy that was set before Him (Hebrews 12:2). That is why He told that person, “Take up your cross and follow Me.”

The Bible says, “Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:4,5).

Lord Jesus Christ endured all afflictions and pain on the cross in order to grant us life. He gave up His life as a supreme sacrifice on the cross. But on the third day, He rose up from the dead as He had already said (Matthew 28:6). Hence today, we not only meditate over the glorious cross, but also enjoy the forgiveness of sins, holiness and the eternal life granted by God.

When Lord Jesus Christ sojourned on this earth, a sinful woman stood behind Him at His feet weeping. She began to wet His feet with her tears, wiped them with her hair and poured perfume on them. She did that because she had great faith that He would deliver her from her sinful life. That is why Lord Jesus told her, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.” The Lord not only forgave her sins, but also granted her eternal life that day (Luke 7:38,39,50).

The Bible says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16; 3:36).

Accordingly, those who believe in Lord Jesus Christ will have eternal life. He purchased eternal life for us by sacrificing His life on the cross. He allowed His body to be torn for us. In case your iniquities and sins are a hindrance to receive eternal life, surrender your life at the feet of Lord Jesus just like that sinful woman. Then you will certainly receive eternal life.


Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You purchased eternal life for us by sacrificing your life on the cross. I believe in You and surrender my life at your feet. I choose to follow You. Grant me your forgiveness and accept me as your child. Give me the grace to inherit eternal life. May I have treasure in heaven.

I ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

OPEN HEAVENPaul Dhinakaran

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.    (Matthew 28:20)

Dearly beloved, the Bible says, “But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 'Look,' he said, 'I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God'” (Acts 7:55,56).

About Stephen, the Bible says, “All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel” (Acts 6:15). Stephen could see an open heaven (Acts 7:56).

In the same way, the Lord will open heaven for you in order to prove that you are not an orphan, and the Spirit of wisdom will descend upon you. The Bible says that everything has been decided even before the creation of the world (Hebrews 4:3).

When He opens heaven for you, He will open your eyes for you to see the blessings He has in store for you. All the decisions of the Lord emanate from the crucifixion of Christ and His precious blood. The Lord grants you His wisdom for you to know what will happen in this world. That is why He said, “Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20).

The Jesus Calls ministry is functioning for the past 50 years. Whenever we face problems and difficulties in the ministry as well as in our personal lives, we would not know what to do. At such times, suddenly the heaven would open and Lord Jesus would appear through the Holy Spirit. He would counsel us saying, “Do not worry about anything. You do this in such a way in the ministry/Karunya University/Seesha/family.”

He would also fill us with His wisdom to accomplish what He had said. Whenever we go for Jesus Calls Prayer Festivals, the Lord would come down graciously and bless thousands of people. He also protects our family. Above all, He makes people come in search of us from all over the world, and through them we receive much love. Thousands of people write to us every day. Some of them write to us to know God’s will in their lives.

Once a person wrote, “Brother, I have received a job offer from Europe. They have promised to pay me so many thousand euros as salary. I have another offer from Australia. They have also promised a good salary for me. Please let me know God’s will in this matter.” I humbled myself and prayed sincerely to God for Him to reveal His will in the matter. The Holy Spirit graciously opened my eyes. Whatever he told me, I wrote to that brother.

I wrote, “Please take up this particular job. The other one will not be suitable for you. Although the salary is more in that job, it will not be a permanent one.” He also obeyed the Word of God and took up the job mentioned by me. What a wonder! Within a few days, the company that offered him more salary was closed, whereas in the present company he got a promotion. When I came to know about it, I was greatly thrilled and glorified God.

When heaven is open for us, the Spirit of wisdom gives us counsel in order to lead blessed lives in this world and makes our faces radiant. The Lord will grant you the Spirit of wisdom and He will open your eyes also. Then you will be a blessing in your family, work spot, city and the nation, and through that you will know that the Lord is with you. You will live long and bring the power of God upon others.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are the Wonderful Counselor. I seek your divine counsel. Fill me with your heavenly wisdom. Give me counsel in order to lead a blessed life in this world. Open my eyes for me to see the blessings You have in store for me. Give me the grace to accomplish your will.

I ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

ABIDE IN GODStella Dhinakaran

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.    (John 10:10)

Dearly beloved, the Bible says, “A cord of three strands is not quickly broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:12). Accordingly, a husband and wife should be united with God. Only then they can lead a joyous married life.

These days, we see many couples leading separated lives due to various problems. Is there a way for them to receive God’s blessings? The Lord is not pleased with couples who are living separately. Such things are earthly, unspiritual and they are from the devil (James 3:15).

Since both my husband and I accepted Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour, we could lead a happy married life from the very beginning. We lived happily for 48 years with one accord filled with the presence of God. The divine peace granted by God filled our family life.

The Bible says, “Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (I Peter 5:8).

Today, many couples have fallen prey to the deception of the devil and they are living in darkness. It is the main reason for couples being separated. But it is God’s desire to change this situation and to fill such of them with His peace and joy. He wants them to be united and have oneness of mind. Only those couples who would like to lead such godly lives will receive God’s abundant blessings.

The Bible exhorts, “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:33). As mentioned in the above Scripture verse, the husband and wife must give first place to the Lord. Then the Lord will be pleased with them, and He will bless their home with His presence so that it will become easier for the couple to love and respect each other.

Lord Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). He will grant a life full of divine joy and peace to those who abide in Him.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You came to the world to give us abundant life. I give You the first place in my life. Come and dwell in my home. Bless my family. Help us to live in harmony. Enable us to love and respect one another. Grant us a life full of divine joy and peace.

I ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen.

A RENEWED LIFEPaul Dhinakaran

And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins    (Ephesians 2:1)

Dearly beloved, Lord Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25). “Because I live, you also will live” (John 14:19).

The same Lord who uttered the above words said, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death” (Matthew 26:38). His agony was so intense that His sweat fell like drops of blood on the ground (Luke 22:42-44).

That is why He assures you, “Have you come to the end of your life on account of your sorrow? I have gone through this path of sorrow Myself. Hence I know your sorrow. But I have overcome it. Now I have the life and the power of resurrection. If you believe in Me, you will live. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Even amidst this sorrow, I will be with you.”

Dearly beloved, Lord Jesus shall be with you till the end of the age. He will remove your sorrow and resurrect you. So be of good cheer.

There was a brother by name Neelakandan who was addicted to the evil habit of drinking liquor for nearly 13 years. He was married and had a son. Because of his excessive drinking, his wife hated him. His in-laws chased him away from home. Hence he was going through severe poverty. Finally he told his wife, “Now we have no other way. So let all three of us commit suicide.” His wife replied, “No, there is a way. I will take you to a particular place. You must come with me quietly. Before we die, let us visit this place.”

She brought him straightaway to a prayer meeting which was held at the Jesus Calls Campus in Vanagaram, Chennai. Incidentally, I was preaching in that meeting. During the prayer time, being filled with the Holy Spirit, I prophetically said, “Today, Lord Jesus Christ will deliver you from alcohol. He will deliver you from your poverty. He will restore the honour of your family. Lord Jesus is resurrecting you.” Those words touched his heart and the life of Christ flowed into him. He began to cry like a child. At that very moment, the Lord transformed his life totally.

That very day, the Lord delivered him from the clutches of alcoholism. He became a new creature and was filled with joy. He began to lead a happy life along with his wife and child. He who did not have a job till then got a job through a friend. The Lord graciously helped him to repay all his debts. The brother enrolled his son in the Young Partners Plan. He proudly said, “The Lord has blessed me and honoured me. Till now my son was saying, ‘My father is a drunkard.’ But now he says, ‘My father is guiding me in godly ways.’ This is how the Lord has transformed me.”

Yes, it is the Lord who has resurrected Him. He will do the same for you and your family. He shall with you till the end of the world.

The Bible says, “The life of a creature is in the blood” (Leviticus 17:11). It is the Lord who sends His life into you and makes you live. When you confess your sins to Him, His precious blood will sanctify you and remove all your sins. He shed His precious blood only to redeem you. Although you were dead in your transgressions and sins, He sent His life into you and transformed you as His child (Ephesians 2:1). He shall always be with you.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are the resurrection and the life. I believe in You. I call upon Your name. You are aware of my sorrow as You suffered on the Cross on my sake. Hear my prayer. Sanctify me with your precious blood and renew my life. Remove my sorrow and fill me with joy. Let your presence be with me forever.

I ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen.

A DEVOTED LIFEStella Dhinakaran

The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.    (1 John 2:17)

Dearly beloved, we must be careful to lead a godly life in this world. A life devoted to Christ will bring everlasting life.

Once, a man was passing through a dense forest in Africa. On the way, he saw a shining necklace lying on his path. Thinking that somebody else would take it, he picked it up and put it in his mouth. Again he started walking as if nothing had happened. Suddenly, he fell down dead.

What he put in his mouth was not a necklace, but a kind of shining snake that lives in the African forest. Mistaking that snake for a necklace, he lost his life.

Even today, the devil easily cheats us through certain lustful desires. He creates divisions in the families through the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life. Since Adam and Eve did not give first place to God but paid heed to the voice of the devil, they lost the glorious opportunity of having a closer walk with God.

The Bible says, “The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever” (1 John 2:17). You have to get closer to God in order to receive His grace. You must have the zeal to do His will in order to bring glory to His name. Then He will grant you His grace and enable you to be united with Him. You shall be blessed with everlasting life.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

I give You the first place in my life. Turn my eyes away from worthless things. Protect me from the deception of the devil. Give me the grace to have a closer walk with You. Help me to do your will. Bless me with everlasting happiness.

I ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
