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.
