 Hello Friend, Let me turn your focus to a few unfailing promises of
God for you in this month:
“And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also
bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and
your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the offspring
of your flock, in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give
you” (Deuteronomy 7:13)
“And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply
you exceedingly.” (Genesis 17:2)
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that
we ask or think, according to the power that works in us”
(Ephesians 3:20 )
It is wonderfully stated in gives a clearer and deepermeaning yond our greatest prayers, hopes,

ingly abundantly above all that we [carry out His purpose and] do Yes! My friend! The blessings
ask or think, according to the power superabundantly more than all that and promises of the Lord makes
that works in us.” The same verse we dare ask or think [infinitely be- us marvel! The Lord is saying to

you now, “My son; My daughter! I
am going to give you exceeding
abound and increase in abundance
in this month and in the months to
come”. Yes! My friend! Even as
you are reading this message, this
blessing that would make you
abound in abundance will come
upon you.
You need to also note that the
devil also knows that the Lord is
going to bless you with the bless-
ing that will make you abound. So
even before this abundant blessing
would come upon us he brings in
abundant tribulations and sufferings
upon us.
He is going to bring a beast that
will exceeding in abundant terrible-
ness against the children of God;
against the nation of Israel. (Daniel
7:19). We are going to enter such
days very soon.
How does the satan work?
The devil took Jesus to a moun-
tain peak in order to tempt Him
(Matthew 4:8).
Yes! When he makes people
sin, he takes them to the peak of
sin and makes them commit huge
and atrocious sins. (Ezekiel 9:9)
He did the same in the lives of
Shadrack, Meshak and Abednego.
He brought in an abounding prob-
lem by causing the King to punish
them by throwing them into a fur-
nace of fire. The King
Nebuchadnezzar increased the fire
by 7 times. The furnace was su-
perheated against these children of
God (Daniel 3:22). This is how evil
people will work against the chil-
dren of God. Yes! They will con-
spire a super – heated furnace of
fire to burn them down to ashes.
This is the work of the devil.
The same thing happened for
Joseph too. He was obedient
to his father. His Father
loved him more than all his
other sons. He gave him a
multi-coloured tunic. When
his brothers saw how much
the father loved him above all
of them they began to hate
him. Joseph saw a dream
and told that to his brothers.
And that made his brothers
grow even more jealous
against him and hate him
even more. (Gen 37:4,5).
When God gave him visions he
informed that to everyone. Upon
the word of his father he took bread
to all his brothers. But the brothers
conspired against him to kill him.
They threw him into a pit after
which he was sold as a slave. He
worked there faithfully as a slave.
Then he remained faithful to his
master by refusing to fall into sin.
But eventually he only had prison
as his reward. What a great
agony? This is the way that the
devil brings next path against
God’s children. King Herod was
very furious that he was not able
to kill Jesus. He was deceived by
the wise men and therefore he sent
out an order to kill all the kids who
were below 2 years (Matthew
2:16).
When Jesus was walking on
this earth, when he came to the
country of Gergesenes there met
Him two demon-possessed men
coming out of the tombs, exceed-
ingly fierce, so that no one could
pass that way. (Matthew 8:28).
Yes! Those who are led by the devil
are exceedingly fierce. All these
are the terrible ways that the devil
works.
Since Jesus went through the
sorrow and sufferings of the Cross,
He was able to say, “My heart is
full of sorrow unto death” (Mat-
thew 26:38). Are you going the
same path of sorrow and
suffering?But remember Jesus
rose up in every situation.
When the devil took Jesus to the
peaks of the mountain and tempted
him; Jesus too confronted him by
the most powerful words of the
scripture. The devil left Him im-
mediately.
When the inquities of this world
increased in abundance, Jesus
came for our sake and shed His
blood. The blood of Jesus cleanses
us from all sin. (1 John 1:7).
Shadrack, Meshak and
Abednego were thrown into the
blazing fire but the son of the living
God appeared amidst them in the
fire. The flames of fire could not
harm them in any way. (Daniel
3:25).
When King Herod got furious
the Lord sent His angel and saved
the baby Jesus. (Matthew 2:19,20).
In the same way He is sending an
angel of the Lord for us too. He is
guarding us in all our ways and He
takes us to the God–destined place
in our lives. (Exodus 23:20).
The two people who were pos-
sessed by demons were fierce and
terrible but Jesus said, “ In My
Name you shall drive out demons”.
(Mark 16:17)He says, “I come to
destroy the works of the devil” (1
John 3:8).
Sorrow unto death may fill our
hearts but the Lord says, “You shall
see Me again and when you see
me your sorrow shall be turned into
joy” (John 16:20). Sorrow could
have increased in your life but
Jesus will arise in the middle of that
www.jesuscalls.org - March 2017 JESUS CALLS 5
sorrow; He will arise in the midst
of sin.
The Lord will arise with you in
the midst with you like the furnace
of fire. The Lord will appear as the
Word when the devil comes to test
you and tempt you with huge temp-
tations. Jesus is our refuge.In this
world we have hope through Jesus
Christ. Let us invite Him to dwell
in our hearts.
They put Joseph into prison, but
the Holy Spirit in him and delivered
him from the agony of prison. Holy
Spirit rose amidst the evil people
around him and brought him before
the King. The Bible says, in
Ecclesiastes 4:14, “For he comes
out of prison to be king although
he was born poor in his kingdom”.
In the same way the Lord will de-
liver you from all bondages and
struggles. He will lift you up to
honour in the society, in your work
spot and in the nation.
the King Nebuchadnezzar said
about Daniel that “The Spirit of the
gods are in you”. (Daniel 4:9).
What a wonder! When the Sprit
of God is in us, whichever prison
they put us into, God will turn the
events upside down and make us
rulers of the nation. As you are
reading this message,that grace of
the Lord is laying upon you now.
In this month and in the months
to come God will make you King-
dom people. Friend! Are you in a
agony, feeling as though you are
bound and put into the
prison?Forgotten by everyone?
Rejected and betrayed? God will
fill you with the Holy Spirit. It is
important to be filled with the Holy
Spirit. You will automatically enter
into the rulership.
How much ever you push it into
the water, a rubber ball,will bounce
6 JESUS CALLS March 2017 - www.jesuscalls.org
back in great speed because of the
air inflated in it. In the same way
the Holy Spiritwill bring you back
from prison – like bondages, from
all things that enslave you and also
lift you up and make you be seated
on the throne. Surely God will do
this to you in the future. So let us
plead unto God saying, “Lord! I
surrender myself to you. Lord
Jesus! Please fill me with your Holy
Spirit”. Then, the Lord will bless
you, make you increase with bless-
ings and fill you with exceedingly
abundant blessings.
What are the blessings the
Lord will give us?
Abundant Wisdom
“And God gave Solomon wis-
dom and exceedingly great
understanding, and large-
ness of heart like the sand on
the seashore.” (1 Kings 4:29)
God will give you too this abun-
dant wisdom. Through that wisdom
the Lord will lift you up and make
you stand before kings.
Abundant Wealth
“Hezekiah had very great
riches and honor. And he
made himself treasuries for
silver, for gold, for precious
stones, for spices, for shields,
and for all kinds of desirable
items;” (2 Chronicles 32:27)
Great riches,
great honor
Friend! Hezekiah built treasur-
ies to contain the abundant wealth
he had. To contain what God is
going to give you; you need to build
large treasures. Yes! That’s the
extent to which God is going to
bless you and give you exceedingly
abundance and make you prosper.
From this month onwards there is
going to be abundant wealth and
abundant blessings in your family.
Abundant Gladness
“For You have made him
most blessed forever;You
have made him exceedingly
glad with Your presence.”
(Psalm 21:6)
The LORD will fill us with joy
which comes by dwelling in His
presence. But look at the interest-
ing way in which the Scripture de-
scribes the joy. It says “exceed-
ingly gladness”. Friend! Are you
sitting in sorrow? The Lord will
make His countenance shine upon
you and fill you with exceeding and
glorious gladness. He said, “You
will see Me and your sorrow will
be turned into joy”. Yes! I will send
that grace upon you.
Abundant Help
“So I prophesied as He com-
manded me, and breath
came into them, and they
lived, and stood upon their
feet, an exceedingly great
army.” (Ezekiel 37:10)
“For at that time they came
to David day by day to help
him, until it was a great
army, like the army of God.”
(1 Chronicles 12:22)
People came like an army and
helped King David.In the same
way my friend, people of large
numbers will come to you from dif-
ferent directions and help you in
your ministry. They will stand for
God in this nation.
Friend! we are not going to be
alone anymore. Your family too is
going to arise like an army and
stand as a witness for the Lord.
God will grant you this grace.
Abundant Souls
“So the people of Nineveh
 believed God, proclaimed a
fast, and put on sackcloth,
from the greatest to the least
of them.” (Jonah 3:5)
The prophet Jonah ran against
the command of God. There was
a terrible storm in the sea. Jonah
was already full of fear saying,
“Oh! I have sinned against the
Lord” Then he was thrown into the
sea and a whale that was prepared
by the Lord came and swallowed
him. Then he came out of the belly
of the fish and crossed the huge
city called Nineveh in three
days.He announces the warning of
God to the entire city and won all
the souls of the whole city for the
Lord.
Friend! The same thing is go-
ing to happen in your locality; your
neighborhood and your city. I be-
lieve the Lord is going to do such a
miracle in your state. It is for this
reason that servants of God gath-
ered from many other parts of
Tamilnadu and on 19 th of Decem-
ber 2016. There was such a beau-
tiful harmony of so many churches,
missionary organizations and de-
nominations. They united their
hearts together and prayed.
When we pray for our locality
and our city the Lord opens the
heavens to bless the city, so that
we can bring cities into the bless-
ings and presence of our Lord and
deliver the city from the famine
that the devil is planning to bring,
and usher the city into Gods’ bless-
ings and abundant prosperity. The
Lords hand will descend over our
city. This is the abundant blessing
the Lord gives you today. Through
you your family will be saved. The
anointing of the Holy Spirit. will
descend upon you.Our Lord will
meet all your needs according to
His riches in glory.
The Lord will fill you with a
wealth of wisdom, wealth of riches
and wealth of gladness. Further you
will also receive a wealth of favour
in the eyes of men and thus receive
abundant wealth and affection.
Today is the day you need to
surrender your life into the hands
of the Lord. And you will experi-
ence the God – given power that
will make you overcome all the
works of the devil against you. Yes!
He will fill you with exceedingly
abundant blessings.

PRAYER TO RECEIVE EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANT BLESSINGS!

Loving Lord, who hears the prayers of all flesh, I have come to your feet believing that
You will hear my prayers too. You have promised saying, “I have established My covenant
between you and Me and make you multiply abundantly.” According to your unfailing word
you will make me multiply abundantly. You will work in me more than what I can imagine or
ask for. May the blessing that would make me multiply more abundantly descend upon me.
O! God! I am going through terrible pain and hurt that are caused by problems that are
too huge for me to handle. I am going through trials and tribulations that are like a superheated
furnace. You, who overcame the devil with your word, please do arise in me and deliver me
from these unbearable tribulations ,destroy all the works of the devil against me and change
all my sorrow into joy. Send your angels before me to lead me to the high position that you
have prepared for me.
O! Lord! Who has planned to multiply my blessings abundantly, please bless me with
abundant wisdom, understanding and expand my mental capabilities like the sands of the
sea shore. Bless me with abundant prosperity and honour. Fill me with the abundant joy that
your presence brings.
Father God! It is your pleasure to bless me abundantly. May the love of God be upon me
and establish the work of my hands. Bless me and make me multiply in all my blessings the
way you blessed and multiplied Abraham. Bless me in such a way that I may increase a
thousand times more that what I am now. Bless me with your favour that I may be a great
success in the work of my hands, reap the good fruits of my sowing and be filled with joy,
favour and goodness.

 Father God! My wealth and prosperity is not needed for you but for the saints on this
earth and to those saintly souls who I love with my whole heart. Father strengthen me so
that I may sow into your ministry liberally and generously and with a cheerful heart and reap
a hundred fold blessings. Help me to sow and reap and to share and to multiply in every
aspect of my life. Help me to be completely blessed in all things and increase in my good
works and grace. You are the One who gives seeds to the sower and food to eat. Accordingly
grant me seeds and help me to multiply those seeds. Open the windows of heaven and bless
me with no-room-to-contain blessings. Let blessings be poured into my bosom, pressed
down, shaken together and overflowing. Let my cup run over and let mercy and goodness
follow me all the days of my life.
Lord Jesus! When your disciple Peter tried fishing all through a night but could not catch
even one, you visited him graciously and blessed him so that he caught boats full of fishes.
You made him cast the net according to your Word and haul boat loads of fish. In the same
way Lord, bless me too that I may do everything in my life according to your Word and reap
abundant blessings. Help me to wisely use the talents that you have given me and be true
and faithful in small things so that I can become master over big things.
Father! Remember my works that I have rendered to the ministry and to the saints of God
and do render, bless me more than I can imagine or pray and make me increase abundantly.
Fulfill all my needs and remove all my insufficiencies according to your riches in glory. Fill
me according to your riches; abundant wisdom; immeasurable wealth and unspeakable joy.
Father! I praise you and thank you because you are going to do all this to me. I pray in the
name of Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.

My parents
joined me in
B.Tech., and they
spent a lot for my
studies. But be-
cause of wrong friendship I could
not finish my studies. I discontin-
ued my studies and did not get a
job also. I felt guilty over the money
spent by my parents. Not knowing
what to do further I decided to com-
mit suicide. The next day I came
to this meeting and was praying.
During the prayer time, Dr. Paul
Dhinakaran said, “Vishwa Ranjan
Kumar, the Lord has given you a

in my heart that I should not de-
stroy the life given by Him. I had a
hope that He would give me a good

my mother who did everything for

I suffered from chest pain since
more than 4 years. I was seated in

who is suffering from chest pain.
Now that pain vanishes”. At once
I was healed completely. The next

God who convicted me
This is the first
time that I have at-
tended the Jesus
Calls meetings. On
the first day’s
prayer time, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
said, “I see a person by name
Santosh. You wrote your exams
using wrong method. Your heart is
full of sin. So there is no peace in
you. There is no prosperity in your
life. Jesus wants to forgive your
sins. Remove the sins from your
life. Cry unto Jesus that He should
come into your life. Right now com-
mit your life to Jesus. Santosh!
Come to the stage; I want to pray
for you”. “Everything that the Lord
spoke through Uncle Paul
Dhinakaran is true. Since I always
opted for wrong methods to write
my exams, I had been failing in
many papers. Because of my short
tempered nature, my parents were
often facing troubles. I was also
not morally good. Now I repent and
ask the Lord’s forgiveness. Praise
be to Him. - Santhosh,

You cry whether the Lord wouldn’t

against you. But the Lord Jesus

Addiction Gone
I used to follow Christ. But I
began to take alcohol and drugs.
In due course I became an alco-
holic. I started using drugs five
times a day. Also I used to encour-
age others to use drugs. I used to
leave my job and go for drinking.
So I went far away from the Lord.
During the prayer time, Dr. Paul
Dhinakaran said, “I see a name
Philomen; you were once follow-
ing the Lord. Now you are an ad-
dict. Philomen, the Lord is deliver-
ing you. When you pray to Him,
He will deliver you”. That time the
Lord filled me fully. I did not touch
alcohol or drugs till the next night.
I feel a complete deliverance.

Miraculous Healing
I had been suf-
fering from severe
stomach pain for
the past 8 years.
Every time when I
had this pain I used to go to the
hospital and take treatment. Yet I
had no relief. Through the Jesus
Calls magazine, I got the phone
number of the Prayer Tower in
Patna and contacted it. I was in-
formed about the Prayer Festival
to be held here and that the
Dhinakarans would be coming to
pray. So with the faith that the Lord
would heal me, I was praying here
in this meeting. Dr. Paul
Dhinakaran said, ‘Saroj, Jesus is
now healing you”. That time I felt
something coming out of my mouth.
I was filled with the Holy Spirit and
jumped up in joy. My stomach pain
was gone completely.

Nervous weakness
I suffered from
severe back pain
for the past 5
years. I could not
bend or lift heavy
things or even clean the house. I
could not stand for a long time also.
When Sis. Evangeline Paul
Dhinakaran prayed, I too joined her
in the prayer and that time I re-
ceived the anointing of the Lord.
My whole body trembled. I was
completely delivered from my pain.
Thanks to Sister who prayed for
me. - Nirmala Tricky,
Ambikapur.
Nervous weakness
gone
The left side of
my whole body
was paining since
more than 15
years. I used to cry
out in pain and keep my head
pressed. I would ask even my hus-
band and children to press my
head. During the prayer time when
Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran
was praying I felt giddy and that
time my nervous problem vanished
from me completely. I am very
happy. - Neeru, Ambikapur.
 Beloved in Christ,
This is the blessing that God has kept
for the family of David and for the people of Is-
rael. We too belong to this family because we too love
the Lord. We are the children of the God. (1 John 3:1). And
so it is to us too that God is saying, “I will pour out the Spirit of
grace and supplication”
Why is the Lord pouring the Spirit of Grace and supplica-
tion? He is pouring these two blessing so that we can abide in
His presence.
What is the Spirit of grace?
Spirit that strength us
“The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
(Matthew 26:41; Mark 14:38)
We humans are made of flesh and the flesh is weak, but
the Spirit is strong and that is why God pours out the Sprit
of grace in order to strengthen our flesh. By pouring the
Spirit of grace the Holy Spirit makes us Spirit –filled;
makes us His own; makes us live with Him and in
Him (Deuteronomy 14:2)
The Holy Spirit is soft like a dove but He is also a
powerful person. He is also like a mighty flood. When
the enemy comes-in like a flood against us, the Holy
Spirit will lift up a banner for us. (Isaiah 59:9)
He will lift up a banner that would say, “I am with
My child.” He will pour the love of God upon us like a
river and will establish the truth saying, “This is my son/daugh-
ter”, and thus make the enemy flee from us. He will make our
enemies grind their teeth in shame and defeat. The scripture
www.jesuscalls.org - March 2017 JESUS CALLS 15
says that He will destroy those
who speak falsehood (Psalm 5:6;
31:18). God will close their mouths
and render them unable to speak.
The Holy Spirit who strengthens
and who is able will abide with us
(Isaiah 28:2). No eyes have seen;
no ears have heard nor has it en-
tered into the heart of any man”
what the Holy Spirit does (1
Corinthians 2:9). The Spirit of
grace will do gracious wonders for
us. He who is in you is greater than
he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
Therefore do not worry or lose
heart if problems come in your life.
Be courageous and confident.
God has given us a Spirit of love,
courage and of a sound mind (2
Timothy 1:7). Nothing will harm us
this month; in this year and in the
months to come. The wicked one
shall no more pass through you; He
is utterly cut off (Nahum 1:15).
What are the blessings that God
has in store for those who receive
the Spirit of grace the Holy Spirit
and the Spirit of Supplication?
Spirit that Prepares
“But you are not in the flesh
but in the Spirit, if indeed the
Spirit of God dwells in you.
Now if anyone does not have
the Spirit of Christ, he is not
His.” (Romans 8:9)
In Mathew 25:1-11, when the
Lord Jesus explains about the
Kingdom of God he explains about
the 10 virgins. The virgins who
were wise, took oil in their vessels
along with their lamps, to meet the
bridegroom. They were so pre-
pared to meet the bridegroom Jesus
Christ, when He comes and to go
along with Him. But the foolish vir-
16 JESUS CALLS March 2017 - www.jesuscalls.org
gins took no oil in their vessels
though they had lamps. Since the
bridegroom delayed to come, they
went to sleep. When the bride-
groom came they awoke from
sleep, looked at the wise virgins and
said, “Oh! There is no oil in our
vessels. Please lend us some oil.”
The wise virgins said, “Go to the
shop and by oil for yourselves lest
we give oil to you and all of us go
without oil when the bridegroom
comes. When the foolish virgins
went to buy some oil and returned
to the bridegroom’s house the
doors were closed. When they
tapped the door the Lord said,
“Who are you. I don’t know you!”
what a tragedy!
Let us be like the wise virgins
who filled their vessels with oil.
Somehow we have to receive the
oil of the Holy Spirit – the Spirit of
preparation, who will prepare us
for the coming of the Lord. We
need to ask God and receive the
Spirit of grace and supplication like
the oil in the vessels. The days are
coming when there will be such
scarcity of the Word of God. (Amos
8:11). The days of scarcity are
coming when we will not be able
to receive the life and power of
God; when we will not be able to
receive the Holy Spirit. Therefore
we need to redeem our time
(Ephesians 5:16) and get ourselves
filled with the Holy Spirit.
Spirit that Helps
to Pray
“Be anxious for nothing, but
in everything by prayer and
supplication, with thanksgiv-
ing, let your requests be
made known to God”
(Philippians 4:6)
Let us always be filled with the
Holy Spirit and let our requests and
supplications be made known unto
God. How much ever we put in all
our efforts in our endeavours, in-
cluding preparing for our exams,
when we take those efforts with-
out praying we will not be able to
see any progress. And we need the
help of the Holy Spirit to always
pray being filled with the Holy
Spirit. The Lord has said that he
will pour the Holy Spirit upon all
flesh. (Joel 2:28, Acts 2:17). We
have come into the last days.
Therefore we need to come into
the presence of God and cry with
a broken heart saying, “Lord! I
have lived without remembering
you. Please have mercy upon me”
Friends! Let our eyes look at the
Lord, like the eyes of a servant will
look upon the face of his/her mas-
ter (Psalm 123:2). Let us wait at
His feet. The Lord will surely have
mercy upon us.
How should we pray?
Daniel prayed three times a day
(Daniel 6:10). We too can pray
thrice a day. We can also pray more
than three times a day. The Psalm-
ist says, “Because of your justice
and righteousness I will praise you
seven times a day” (Psalm
119:164). The Lord Jesus kept on
praying throughout the day to do
the will of His father. In the com-
ing months, we too should set aside
some time to spend in the presence
of God and in prayer. The Holy
Spirit will pour upon you this Spirit
of supplication. We are weak but
the Holy Spirit who is dwelling in
us is strong. He will help us in our
weaknesses. When we don’t know
how to pray He will pray in our
behalf with mournings that cannot
be uttered in words. The Holy Spirit
will pray for us and through us.
(Romans 8:26)
Many years back we had our
wedding anniversary and so we
gathered together as a family to
pray in the morning. Sam and
Sharon were kids during that
time. I was suddenly filled with
the Holy Spirit and I was crying
and crying and crying and pray-
ing in tongues. I prayed in
tongues for 45 minutes. Others
too were filled with the Holy Spirit
and they prayed but stopped af-
ter some time and were waiting
for me to finish the prayer but I
kept on praying. It was a really
different experience. My dress
became wet with my tears. On the
one side of my mind I was think-
ing, “Oh! Everyone have finished
their prayers and are waiting for
us; but I am keeping on praying”,
yet I was not able to stop myself
from praying. I was speaking in
tongues and praying in the
Spirit. After I ended my prayer I
went to my Father and asked
him, “What was I praying? I
could not understand anything
please tell me the meaning of my
prayer” I asked him again and
again. Then he said, “You were
filled with the Holy Spirit and you
were praying in tongues for your
own family; for those who re-
quested you to pray for them and
for our family. “I was filled with
great joy saying, “Oh! I never
even thought of all these things
but the Holy Spirit had prayed
through me” I praised and
thanked God for that wonderful
experience.
This is exactly what is going to
happen to you too my friend. You
will not be able to control your
prayer even if you want to stop the
prayer; the Holy Spirit within you
will not allow you to stop it. You
will keep on speaking in tongues.
This is the Spirit of supplication
given by the Holy Spirit. How
many people do you think we can
remember and pray for? But the
Holy Spirit will make you pray for
every one who has requested you
to pray for them. He will fill you
with the Spirit that will pray for the
servants of God and for all those
who requested you to pray for
them. You may be in sorrow think-
ing that your own family is not yet
saved. In the days to come they
will be saved through your prayers.
Salvation has come to your house
today (Luke 19:9). Through you
who believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ, your household shall also be
saved. (Acts 16:31).
It is not an easy thing to seek
the Lord. You may seek Him alone
but God will use you and bring your
entire household into salvation. He
will also bless those who are
around you. This is why He is giv-
ing us the Holy Spirit; the Spirit of
grace and the Spirit of supplication.
Spirit that Prays for
Jerusalem
“Pray for the peace of
Jerusalem: “May they pros-
per who love you.”
(Psalm 122:6)
The Lord will pour out the Spirit
of Grace upon the city of Jerusa-
lem and upon the family of David
– the family of Israel. They still
have not known who Jesus is. What
a tragedy for the Jews themselves
to be in such ignorance. But the
Lord has promised to pour our His
Spirit upon them. That is why God
has chosen us – the Jesus calls
family. Every time we go to
Jerusalem, we will weep and pray
in tears for Jerusalem. I encour-
age you too to receive the Spirit of
Supplication and pray for Jerusa-
lem. Then you will be blessed.
Spirit that
Helps to Wait
“Behold, I send the Promise
of My Father upon you; but
tarry in the city of
Jerusalem[a] until you are
endued with power from on
high.” (Luke 24:49)
The Lord Jesus Christ said,
“You need to tarry in my presence
until I anoint you with heavenly
power that will strengthen you to
go around the world and serve God.
Tarry in Jerusalem until you are
endued with the power and
strength of God”.
Many days ago, I suddenly
had severe stomach ache. At that
time my husband had gone out
of town. Therefore my mother
Stella Dhinakaran took me to a
hospital. When we reached the
hospital I thought the doctor will
examine me, prescribe me some
medicine and then send me
away but they gave a form in our
hands to fill –out. The Doctor
said, “Please fill – out this form
and come and then I’ll try and
send you away as soon as pos-
sible.” Meanwhile I was having
unbearable pain. I thought, “Oh!
How good it would be if they
could start the treatment imme-
diately. Why are they delaying so
much?.” I got a bit angry at the
hospital officials. I fell on my
mother’s laps and began to cry.
My mother said, “You want to do
it immediately, but these doctors
www.jesuscalls.org - March 2017 JESUS CALLS 17
are asking us to wait for 5 min-
utes” For me those 5 minutes
were like 5 hours. This is how
we will feel when we are in suf-
fering and we are asked to wait.
Sometimes we may think, “Why
is the Lord not responding to my
cries? Why is He delaying so
much? Why is He not hearing my
cry? Am I not His child?” We
may also get a worried and an-
gry. But my friends! The Spirit
of Grace sometimes makes us
wait. That is why God has given
us ‘the Spirit of waiting.” God is
allowing us to wait saying, “Wait
for a little while. Only then you
will understand how loving I
am.” Especially when we are
praying for our children and we
don’t get answers from God, we
get upset and angry. We say, “Fa-
ther! My children are like this.
Are you not worried? Do you not
care? We lament and weep.
God will surely hear your voice.
We call God for our needs, but we
hesitate to wait for His time. How-
ever busy we are with our lives,
God expects us to wait on Him.
When we wait like that the Lord
will pour upon us the Spirit of grace.
When the Lord Jesus Christ
was on this earth, though He was
so busy with His ministry, He
chose to wait on His father. He set
aside all his busy demands and
spent time with His father.
Spirit that gives Rest
“Come to Me, all you who la-
bor and are heavy laden, and
I will give you rest. Take My
yoke upon you and learn
from Me, for I am gentle and
lowly in heart, and you will
find rest for your souls.”
(Matthew 11:28-29)
When the Lord Jesus Christ
18 JESUS CALLS March 2017 - www.jesuscalls.org
was on this earth, people kept flock-
ing to him for prayer. He touched
and healed everyone individually.
He never even had time to eat. Yet,
he kept all his busy schedules aside
and took time to spend with His
heavenly Father. He went up to the
mountains to pray:
“And when He had sent the
multitudes away, He went up
on the mountain by Himself
to pray. Now when evening
came, He was alone there.”
(Matthew 14:23)
“And He said to them,
“Come aside by yourselves to
a deserted place and rest a
while.” For there were many
coming and going and they
did not even have time to
eat.” (Mark 6:31)
He took His disciples to the
desert to spend time with them too.
That is exactly how He draws us
to spend time with him personally.
He will make us alone and take us
to a place in life where no human
being will be able to help us. We
may sometimes think, “Our rela-
tives will help us; our friends will
help us” but no one will come to
your help when you desperately
need them. The Lord takes us alone
away from all human dependencies
so that we can rest in him. This is
called the Spirit of Rest.
If you visit the villages of
Tamilnadu you can find on the
paths to the villages stone-stands
that are built upto our shoulders.
In the olden days people used to
walk from village to village with
their things for travel packed in
baggages which they’ll carry on
their shoulders. These travelers
use these stones to place their
baggages and give some rest to
their shoulders and then carry
them again on their way.
Even we my friend, whenever
we are over burdened with cares
and worries we can keep our wor-
ries on our life’s stone – stand
called the Holy Spirit. But there is
a difference between the stone –
stand and the Holy Spirit. Travel-
ers can place their baggages on the
stone – stand only for a little while
after which they need to carry
them again on their shoulders but
those who cast their burdens on the
Hsp. need not carry them again.
They can lay their burdens forever
on the Holy Spirit and rest forever.
We need not carry our burdens
again because the Lord cares for
us (1 Peter 5:7). The Holy Spirit
will ask us saying, “My son! My
daughter! What do you want me
to do to you”, and help us in our
needs. This is the Spirit of Grace
that is received by us!
Teaching Spirit
“I will put My Spirit within
you and cause you to walk in
My statutes, and you will
keep My judgments and do
them.” (Ezekiel 36:27)
It’s not enough we just pray to
the Hsp. for rest but we need to
learn from Him. When the Lord
chastises us let us say, “It is good
that I go through these trials and
tribulations.” Our God says, “I will
put My Spirit within you and cause
you to walk according to my stat-
utes. I will make you obey my
commandments and do according
to my directions.” Yes! He will do
everything for us. That is His grace.
He says, “I am compassionate and
humble.” He says, “Carry my yoke
upon you and learn from me”.
When the Holy Spirit Himself be-
comes our teacher we don’t need
any man to teach us. The Holy
Spirit Himself will teach us every-
thing. (1 John 2:27).
Spirit that makes
you Talk
“…for it is not you who
speak, but the Spirit of your
Father who speaks in you.”
(Matthew 10:20)
When we stand up to talk for
God – to preach His Word – the
Holy Spirit will make us talk. If you
have not talked for Him on stages
so far, you will begin to talk for Him
in future. The Holy Spirit will make
you go up on stages to speak for
God. Yes! God will use you to
preach the Gospel. The Spirit of
Grace that He will give you will
make you do this. You will stand-
up and talk to your family; amidst
your relatives and neighbors. You
will preach in your work spot. Yes!
You will preach boldly for the Lord!
The Lord who said, “Harvest is
plenty; but labourers are few” will
surely use you mightily (Mathew
9:37; Luke 10:12). He is there
among us like a brilliant morning
star!(Revelation 22:16). We can-
not light a lamp and hide it under
the bushel or cover it’s light. You
are the light of the world (Mathew
5:14). Your are the salt of the world
(Mathew 5:13). Therefore God will
make you shine as a brilliant light
(Ephesians 5:14). Arise and shine;
your light has come. The glory of
the Lord has risen on you. Yes! My
friend! The Holy Spirit will pour His
Spirit of grace that will make you
talk on you and use you mightily.
(Isaiah 60:1)
Spirit of Glory
Though we are not able to see
Him if we keep our faith and love
on Him and abide in His presence
what will the Lord give us? He will
give us unspeakable joy! Yes! He’ll
give a glorious joy. (1 Peter 1:8).
Yes! He is going to give us the
Spirit of Glory. The people of the
world will be suffering and grop-
ing in darkness but the Lord will
give us unspeakable and abundant
joy. There will be problems wait-
ing around you, but the Holy Spirit
will keep you happy. The devil will
expect you to sit and cry and live
like dead people in the darkness.
Yes! Scripture says, “Psalm 143:
For the enemy has persecuted my
soul; He has crushed my life to the
ground; He has made me dwell in
darkness, Like those who have long
been dead”. But the Lord will fill
us with joy – abundant joy.
When we rejoice in the pres-
ence of the Lord, our problems
become light and easy for us.
“For by You I can run
against a troop, By my God
I can leap over a wall.”
(Psalm 18:29)
‘Prayer’ is like a weapon in our
hands. Let us be filled with the Spirit
of Supplication and pray for our
children, husband, wife, parents
and all the dear ones in our family.
This year the Lord reveals tremen-
dous things through my husband.
When we were so worried think-
ing, “How is this year going to
be?”, the Lord said through my
husband, “Fear Not! I will com-
mand the angels for you”. Yes!
Angels will work for us. So we
need not fear! Friend! You are hav-
ing the Lord before you; you are
having the Lord at your right hand
and so you will not be shaken. You
will stand strong like a rock.
This world is full of challenges,
troubles and tribulations. But we
will keep praying through the Holy
Spirit (John 16:33). The horse will
be made ready for battle but vic-
tory will come from the Lord. It
will come through the Holy Spirit.
(Proverbs 21:31). Not my power;
not by might but it will all happen
through the Spirit. (Isaiah 4:6).
Friend! Get ready to be filled with
the Holy Spirit; the Spirit of grace
and the Spirit of Supplication. God
will send the comforter to abide
with you and comfort you;
strengthen you and guide you to
your God – given destiny.

Beloved in Christ,
It gives me great joy to meet
you through this March Month is-
sue of the Jesus Calls Magazine.
It is my fervent prayers that the
Lord who took care of you in all
the past months like the apple of
His eye will continue to care for
you and protect you and your fam-
ily from all the snares and decep-
tions of the devil. May He protect
you in all your going out and com-
ing in. May He bless you with His
perfect blessings.
"Now to him who is able to
do immeasurably more than
all we ask or imagine, ac-
cording to his power that is
at work within us"
(Ephesians 3:20)
20 JESUS CALLS March 2017 - www.jesuscalls.org
This verse brings out the bless-
ing nature of our God. It does not
just say, “more than what we could
imagine or ask for” it says im-
measurably more than all we ask
or imagine. The amplified version
says “exceeding abundantly”. That
is the nature of our God. He is able
to do exceeding abundantly above
all that we ask or imagine. I like
the way this verse is expressed in
the Amplified version. "Now to
Him who is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask
or think beyond our greatest hopes
or dreams, according to His power
that is at work within us,"
(Ephesians 3:20)
So my Friend! Be cheerful! You
have a God who is able to bless
you exceeding abundantly .He will
grant you beyond what you are
praying for in this month. He will
meet your needs beyond your ex-
pectations and prayers because He
is a God who blesses double-por-
tion and a hundred –fold.
(Zachariah 9:12, Gen 26:12). Gold
and silver belong to Him (Haggai
2:8). He spoke and it was done;
He commanded and it stood fast
(Psalm 33:9). There is nothing im-
possible with him. Therefore do not
be disturbed at the situations that
are challenging you.
During acute famine in
Zaripath, the prophet Elijah was
sent to meet a widow who was
dying of hunger. There were none
to feed her during the peak of her
hunger but God saw the hand full
of dough and a little oil that she had
and was moved by her needs. He
sent his prophet and not only took
care of her immediate need but
also made arrangements for her
and her family to live till rain came
down (1 kings 17:8-18). There
could be famine in the nation but
God cares for His children and sees
to it that their needs are met and
the work of their hands are blessed.
He is the one that cares for you
(1Peter 5:7). So be confident my
friend!
"To deliver their soul from
death, And to keep them alive
in famine." (Psalm 33:19)
The devil may bring different
problems every month. He can
bring negative changes in our situ-
ations, in our relationships. But God
fills us with appropriate strength at
the correct time to overcome the
onslaughts of the evil one, because
His grace is new every morning
(Lamentations 3:22). We need not
be troubled in our mind and heart
about how we could overcome our
problems and challenges. The
grace of God will fill you with the
strength and power to overcome
your challenges and problems. The
Jesus Calls Prayer Warriors and I
are praying for you everyday.
Please be cheerful since we have
a God who can keep us alive in
famine.
Be Blessed and be a Blessing
While we are blessed by Jesus,
we also need to be a Blessing to
others. In this context , as we are
co- workers in the Ministry and that
I consider you as my own brothers
and I sisters, I thought of sharing
with you the growth, expansions
and also the needs of the ministry.
Prayer Academy
"After these things the Lord
appointed seventy others also
and sent them two by two be-
fore His face into every city
and place where He Himself
was about to go."(Luke 10:1)
God is expanding the boundaries
of the Jesus Calls Ministry day –
by –day. The ministry is expand-
ing its services into new districts,
states and even nations around the
world. Having the concern of Jesus
in our hearts that it is not His will
that even one soul should be lost,
we are doing our best and every-
thing possible in fulfilling Gods will
with total dedication, commitment
and with all integrity , as a family
together (Matthew18:14). At the
same time we also realize that our
family alone cannot meet this great
challenge . We alone cannot fulfill
the great mission of preaching the
gospel and healing the sick , com-
fort the broken hearted and express
the compassion of God to the
countless people in this world.
Therefore according to the
clear guidance of the Lord, we
started the Jesus Calls Prayer
Academy. In the Prayer Academy
we are offering practical training
and teaching for those who have
the thirst to know more of the scrip-
ture; who desire to learn the se-
crets of spiritual life; who have the
thirst for souls and those who are
interested in learning the ways and
methods to conduct ministries. The
sessions and classes in the Acad-
emy are designed towards this end.
These who complete their train-
ing in this Prayer Academy learn
how to lead a soul towards Christ
besides learning the foundations of
the truths of scripture. These
classes that began in Chennai city
alone are being now expanded to
various places in Tamil Nadu. On
January 28th, 2017 we inaugurated
Prayer Academy classes in the cit-
ies of Tiruchi, Madurai, Tirunelveli,
Tuticorin and Nagercoil. The in-
auguration happened at the
Madurai Jesus Calls Prayer Tower.
These people who have already
been trained in the Academy and
completed their training success-
fully will conduct these classes. I
request you to please pray for
these ministries. I believe that
these sessions of the Academy will
carry the revival of the Lord
throughout the country. You too are
welcome to join these sessions in
the area nearest to you and be
blessed and be a blessing to oth-
ers.
Praying for your
Children
"For God gives wisdom and
knowledge and joy to a man
who is good in His sight; but
to the sinner He gives the
work of gathering and col-
lecting, that he may give him
who is good before God. This
also is vanity and grasping
for the wind."
(Ecclesiastes 2:26)
This is a very important month
for those of our children who will
be writing their public and board
exams. Thousands of such students
received blessings by participating
in the Students Prayer Meetings
we conducted in Bethesda (Janu-
ary 8) and Chennai (February 5). I
continue to pray that special wis-
dom and Divine Health be given
to students by God and also Godly
peace to fill the minds and hearts
of students and their family mem-
bers during this season of exams.
If you take your children to the
Jesus Calls Prayer Tower nearest
to your place the Prayer Warriors
will pray for your children and their
exams. There you can also get a
copy of the Students Prayer writ-
ten by me. And you can get prayer
through Telephone Prayer Tower ,

The Jesus Calls Young Partner

blessing of the children and youth.
Those who are already supporting
the Jesus Calls Ministries can now

Calls Ministries through the Young

the support given in the name of
your children into a ministry that
works for the salvations of souls
and bless them abundantly. The
Prayer Intercessors in the 24 hours
Prayer Tower are praying inces-
santly for the Young Partner’s pro-
tection, wisdom and bright future.

Blessing Meetings in
Prayer Towers

silent and listened to
Barnabas and Paul declar-
ing how many miracles and
wonders God had worked
through them among the
Gentiles." (Acts 15:12)

ings are being conducted in the

ceive anointing, to receive bless-
ing; to receive healing in the body

The Bethesda Prayer Centre was built in the
year 1993 and the Seven Stations of the Cross
were set up in 1995. It is nearly 24 years since
its inception and hence most of the areas need
mending and restoration. Because of long term
use, the waterfalls and the Bethesda Pool are
damaged and arrangements have to be made to
clean the waters. The Dome chapels of Bethesda
have to be renovated. The Lord has been doing
awesome deeds for those who pray in these
rooms. We need your help for these renovations.
Also, the pillar of the Angel, the main dome, and
the pathway to the dome have to be renewed.
The decorative lights and carpets in the dome
24 JESUS CALLS March 2017 - www.jesuscalls.org
are damaged and tattered and need to be replaced. The
dome has to be air conditioned to provide a pleasant
atmosphere for the visitors. Using the current technol-
ogy, we are planning to form a fountain with God’s words
proceeding from that. Owing to the limited space in the
vision spot, many are unable to use it. Hence, a spacious
dome for meditation has to be set up.
You may help us for the above things. When we re-
ceive your offering to renovate a particular portion, it
would help us to display your/your family’s name in that
area and remember you in the presence of the Lord with
the prayer, “Lord, these dear ones – this family – have
renewed this place. Hence several lakhs of people are
being blessed. So, please bless this family…”
Through this renovation service, surely you would
bring rich blessings to crores of people. Build the Lord’s
house; He will build your house. As you will be instru-
mental in bringing down His healing power, the Lord will
send forth His life into you and strengthen you.

 The Jesus Calls Prayer Festival was held on three days - 27th, 28th and 29th (Friday,

held in Madurai after a span of 4 years, were of great blessing to the people in and around
Madurai. Sis. Stella Dhinakaran, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran
shared God’s messages in these meetings. Though it was raining, people gathered ea-
gerly to hear the Lord’s word, without minding the rains. When Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
prayed for the rains to stop, the Lord accepted his plea, stopped the rain and made
the people heed His Words, and feel His touch. Thousands of people received bless-
ings in their personal as well as family life through these three days meetings. People,
who received anointing, miracles and blessings shared their testimony on the dais
and glorified the name of God. The Madurai Jesus Calls Prayer Festival was

 When Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
prayed…
Called by name
and healed
I was weak
because of fits
problem. During
the prayer time, I
prayed in the spirit,
“Lord, this fits problem should not
be there in me. You should give
me complete healing..” The Lord
touched me. Since the power of
the Holy Spirit was poured upon
me in an immeasurable way, I fell
down unable to bear it. That time
I saw a light. I began to talk in new
tongues. That time when Dr. Paul
Dhinakaran prayed, he said that
the sickness of fits was vanishing
and said, “Senthil, Jesus fills you.
All your weaknesses are vanish-
ing now. You are not alone. You
are not forsaken. Jesus would be
your Father and make you live
well. Commit your life into His
hands’ He thus spoke by the
power of the Holy Spirit. The
Lord Jesus has promised me that
I would not be weak anymore and
that I would be healthy.
- Senthil, Madurai.
Tumour vanished
I am doing min-
istry among the
youth. I had a
small tumour on
my left ear. When
I was praying here, filled with the
anointing, the Lord told me that
He would call me through Dr. Paul
Dhinakaran. When I was thus in
His presence, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
said, “Stephen, you are not able
to hear properly. Jesus is coming
upon you. He opens your ears. His
glory is manifested. You would be
a prophet and go all over the
world. Thank you Jesus for Your
hand is coming upon Stephen’
After that when I felt for the tu-
mour it was not there. I had
wanted to do ministry as a
prophet. The Holy Spirit revealed
that also through Dr. Paul
Dhinakaran.
- Stephen, Madurai.
Ulcer Gone
I had been suf-
fering from ulcer
and gastric prob-
lem since the past
1 ½ years. I had
difficulty in digestion. I came to the
Jesus Calls meeting with great de-
sire and a prayer that I should be
healed of ulcer and digestive prob-
lem. When Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
prayed for this, the Lord gave me
complete deliverance from gastric
problem and indigestion.
- Simon, Madurai.
Called by name
I was praying
for my husband to
be delivered from
his alcohol addic-
tion. When Dr.
Paul Dhinakaran prayed, he said,
‘Mahalakshmi, the vision of the
Lord is given to you. His life
comes upon you. It touches your
husband. The power of Christ
comes upon your husband. Eter-
nal blessings come upon you. His
presence fills you in order that you
would hold on to Him”. Glory to
God for hearing my prayers.
- Mahalakshmi, Madurai.
When Stella Ramola Prayed…
Knee pain gone
When Sweety
was singing a song
on God sustaining
us through
struggles, I could
not control my tears. I was suf-
fering from severe knee pain since
the past six months. When dear
daughter was singing I was hold-
ing tight to my leg and was singing
along with her. After the song was
over, the pain just vanished. Now
I don’t have any pain. The Lord
has granted me healing, hearing
Sweety’s prayer.
- Malar Devasahayam,
Madurai.
Leg pain healed
I had a fracture
since I was hit by
a two wheeler in
the month of No-
vember. I had to
be in cast. Yet I had pain. I had
great faith on the Lord but satan
used to discourage me by whis-
pering negative things in my ears.
This morning I prayed to the Lord
saying, “Lord, pour faith into me.
Make me stand as a witness. Re-
move my leg pain. Fill me with the
Holy Spirit and heal me”. Dear
daughter Sweety was praying that
time. Immediately the Holy Spirit
came upon me. Even when He was
filling me, I placed my hand on my
leg and prayed for healing. My leg
pain was completely gone.

Testimony of a Young Partner

SECOND PLACE IN STATE LEVEL
I appeared for my 10th public exams last year. My parents are doctors. Through one of my
mother’s colleagues, we came to know about the Jesus Calls ministry.
My parents joined me and my younger sister in the Young Partner’s
Plan. Until then I had very poor memory power and could not retain
what I had studied. After joining this Plan, I started studying well.
Particularly I could feel the Lord Jesus being with me. Every day I
used to contact the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower before appearing
for my exams. The Prayer Warriors too prayed earnestly for
me. Also I offered the special prayer for students compiled by
Uncle Paul Dhinakaran. Through these, I felt a divine wisdom
coming upon me and I completed my exams. When the results
were published the Lord helped me to obtain State Second

and 99 in Tamil and English). Glory to God.

 ‘For He has not despised nor abhorred the
affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden
His face from Him; But when He cried to Him,
He heard’ (Psalm 22:24).
This is how David had written about his experi-
ence in life and the divine comfort he received. David
was a man, who passed through the path of tribula-
tions.
Dear ones, are you too passing through the path of
affliction today? The Lord, who helped David and
comforted Him, would surely help you.
The Lord Jesus Christ, who was manifested in the
flesh, has promised,
"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you
may have peace. In the world you will have tribula-
tion; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
(John 16:33).
In Psalm 22:24, the word used is ‘affliction’
whereas in John 16:33, it is ‘Tribulation” which is stron-
ger than affliction. ‘Tribulation’ means ‘anguish’ (be-
wilderment) or despair (frustration) or sorrow (much
worry and grief) (II Corinthians 2:7). This is not an
ordinary grief but a grief that would sink us in de-
struction.

32 JESUS CALLS March 2017 - www.jesuscalls.org

 Ezra has written, ‘Unless Your
law had been my delight, I would
then have perished in my affliction’
(Psalm 119:92).
Jesus says, “I have overcome
this grief; so be of good cheer’.
When afflictions assail, many
suffer unable to bear it. The Bible
says,
‘Surely oppression destroys a
wise man's reason’
(Ecclesiastes 7:7).
When oppression or affliction
comes, even the wise men
stumble. I read an incident in the
newspapers. During the II World
War, the American army entered
into Japan and there was a big
battle to seize an island called
‘Okinawa’. 66,000 Japanese
soldiers died in that island and
Japan was defeated. When the
American army was proceeding
forward, the people of that city
were frightened about their fate
and killed one another which
resulted in 800 deaths. In a
particular family, there was a 16
year old young boy who had an
elder brother, a 10 year old sister
and a 6 year old brother. They
were four children. Both the boys
were scared what would happen
if the American troops entered
their village. So, fearing the
worst, they decided to kill their
family before they fell into the
hands of the Americans. Both the
brothers began to pelt stones on
their mother who did not know
why they were doing so and
pleaded them to stop. They did
not stop and kept on pelting
stones at her till she died. Then
they strangled their own sister
and youngest brother to death.
They did not pay any heed to the
pitiable cries of their siblings and
killed them ruthlessly. The fear
of tribulation caused by the
enemy camp prompted them to
kill their mother and siblings in
a horrible way.
This was reported in the
newspaper several years after the
war was over. Yes, surely
oppression destroys a wise
man's reason.
But the Psalmist says, “God has
not despised the afflictions of the
afflicted saying, ‘What’s the big
deal about this affliction’? He
helped me”.
Our gracious Lord too would
never despise the affliction of the
afflicted. Neither would He hide
His face from us. His face would
always appear to us. His eyes
would always be upon us. When
we call to Him, He would heed.
This is because Jesus too
walked through the same path of
tribulation. The Bible says, ‘God
made the captain of their salvation
perfect through sufferings’ (He-
brews 2:10). It pleased the LORD
to bruise Him; He has put Him to
grief… (Isaiah 53:10). Surely He
has borne our griefs and carried our
sorrows (Isaiah 53:4). He endured
sufferings patiently, for our sake.
Hence, we have a hope.
What sufferings and tribulation
did Jesus undergo?
Bible Scholars opine that Psalm
22 is a prophetical Psalm. The
many things that we see in this
Psalm were fulfilled in the life of
Christ.
AFFLICTION OF
BEING FORSAKEN
‘My God, My God, why have
You forsaken Me?’
(Psalm 22:1).
When affliction assails us, dark-
ness first covers us. The presence
of God, suddenly vanishes. We
would try to pray but cannot. Our
heart would be broken to pieces.
Darkness everywhere; forsaken by
man, doctors, and friends. We
would feel that God has forsaken
us and wonder where to seek Him.
Our gracious Lord Jesus too
passed through this same problem
underwent by the Psalmist. That’s
why He cried out loudly, "My God,
My God, why have You forsaken
Me?" (Matthew 27:46).
Job said, “The days of afflic-
tion take hold of me. Days of af-
fliction confront me” (Job
30:16,27). If He goes by me, I do
not see Him; If He moves past, I
do not perceive Him (Job 9:11).
"Look, I go forward, but He
is not there, And backward,
but I cannot perceive Him;
When He works on the left
hand, I cannot behold Him;
When He turns to the right
hand, I cannot see Him’
(Job 23:8,9).
In Job 2nd chapter he says,
‘The Almighty was with me. His
countenance was upon me. But
when affliction comes, I see on the
left and right side but cannot per-
ceive Him. I feel as if something is
working on my left side. I hear
some noise at the right side. I turn
back and I do not perceive Him.
Finally he laments, ‘Oh, that
I knew where I might find
Him, That I might come to
His seat! (Job 23:3).
When afflictions or trouble
come or when grief overwhelms
us, our soul would lament, ‘Where
can I find Him?”
‘I will be glad and rejoice in
www.jesuscalls.org - March 2017 JESUS CALLS 33
 Your mercy, For You have
considered my trouble; You
have known my soul in
adversities..’ (Psalm 31:7).
‘The troubles of my heart
have enlarged; Bring me out
of my distresses!’
(Psalm 25:17).
The trouble of our soul is when
the face of God suddenly gets hid-
den from us.
At times of sorrow or when
agonies torment us, many times,
we wonder where God has gone,
without listening to us.’
Who is he who speaks and it
comes to pass, When the Lord
has not commanded it?
(Lamentations 3:37).
David says, “My times are in
Your hand (Lamentations 31:15).
Who is he who speaks and it comes
to pass, When the Lord has not
commanded it?
Yes, nothing will happen in our
lives, without His permission. You
should be very clear about this. We
say, ‘somebody has done witch-
craft’. Where is it written that the
witchcraft done by them would
come to pass? Do not be afraid.
Why does God allow afflictions in
our lives? Why is He silent as if
He does not hear our cries? ‘When
He has tested me, I shall come
forth as gold’ (Job 23:10). It takes
time to refine gold. So, be patient.
Do not think that He has forsaken
you.
‘If a trumpet is blown in a
city, will not the people be
afraid? If there is calamity
in a city, will not the LORD
have done it?’ (Amos 3:6).
First of all you should think that
affliction has not come, without
God telling. But, we are not going
to stay forever in the affliction. The
34 JESUS CALLS March 2017 - www.jesuscalls.org
Lord would come again, embrace
us and reestablish us.
Many are the afflictions of
the righteous, But the LORD
delivers him out of them all’
(Psalm 34:19).
AFFLICTION OF
REPROACH
"He trusted in the LORD, let
Him rescue Him; Let Him
deliver Him, since He
delights in Him!"
(Psalm 22:8).
When Jesus passed through the
path of affliction, He faced re-
proach.
David says, ‘Reproach has
broken my heart’
(Psalm 69:20).
When everything is well, every-
body would praise us. But once,
afflictions attack us as it did to Job,
the same mouths would deride us.
This is how, when Jesus was hang-
ing on the cross, those who passed
by blasphemed Him, wagging their
heads; even the robbers who were
crucified with Him reviled Him with
the same thing (Matthew 27: 40-
44). About this ungrateful people,
David says thus:
‘For dogs have surrounded
Me’ (Psalm 22:16).
The Bible also says,
‘Deliver Me from the sword,
My precious life from the
power of the dog’
(Psalm 22:20).
‘At evening they return, They
growl like a dog, And go all
around the city. Indeed, they
belch with their mouth;
Swords are in their lips; For
they say, "Who hears?"
(Psalm 59:6,7).
‘These bloodthirsty men have
swords in their lips…’
(Psalm 59:2).
There is one who speaks like
the piercings of a sword…
(Proverbs 12:18).
Jesus went through such paths.
Several years ago, one of my
friends in South Africa shared
with me a news: In South Africa,
there is a place for wild animals
like lion and it is called the Park.
Many people visit this Park. This
friend was staying in a hotel near
the Park. One day, as he was
watching, he was shaken to see
a terrible sight. A lion came out
of a cave. The moment it came
out, 6 dogs from all directions
fell upon it, tore it apart with their
teeth and killed it. A lion, does
not turn away from any (Proverbs
30:30). But just as how those 6
dogs surrounded the lion and
killed it, wicked people
surrounded our gracious Lord to
kill Him. They stood around His
cross and blasphemed Him. This
would happen to us also, when
afflictions attack us.
Our gracious Lord Jesus is full
of comforts (Philippians 2:1,2).
‘A (true) friend loves at all
times, And a brother is born
for adversity’
(Proverbs 17;17).
… there is a friend who
sticks closer than a brother
(Proverbs 18:24).
‘Sticking closer’ means ‘ with
rights’. The Lord Jesus loves us
with the rights more than a brother.
He comforts us in the midst of our
afflictions and reproach. So don’t
be afraid when you see re-
proaches. Let reproach, scoffing,
shame and words piercing like
sword come against you. Jesus,
who passed through them, would
appear on the other side. He will
embrace and kiss you. He will
comfort you in so many other
ways. He will give you victory over
affliction. 

“...that though He (Jesus) was rich, yet for your
sakes He became poor, that you through His
poverty might become rich” (II Corinthians 8:9)
I
n order to know the suffer
ings undergone by the poor,
the Lord Jesus Christ, despite
being rich, committed Himself to
be born on this earth in a poor
family. God the Father too, sent
Him, who was beside Him as His
beloved Son, into the world as a
Sacrifice for redemption of sins.
He grew up as the Son of an or-
dinary carpenter; He underwent
all the sufferings of the people of
the world. According to the will
of God, He gave up His life on
the cross; on the third day He rose
again by the power of God. Since
He bore all the sufferings for the
sake of man’s redemption, He ob-
tained the grace to be seated on
the right hand of God (Romans
8:34).
“For to this you were called,
because Christ also suffered
for us, leaving us an ex-
(Sister STELLA DHINAKARAN)
ample, that you should follow
His steps” (I Peter 2:21).
Accordingly, it is the will of
God that we too should follow His
steps, and press every day toward
the goal for the prize kept for us.
‘Therefore we also, since we
are surrounded by so great
a cloud of witnesses, let us
lay aside every weight, and
the sin which so easily en-
snares us, and let us run with
endurance the race that is set
before us’ (Hebrews 12:1).
‘…forgetting those things
which are behind and reach-
ing forward to those things
which are ahead, I press to-
ward the goal for the prize
of the upward call of God in
Christ Jesus’
(Philippians 3:13,14).
As the Apostle Paul thus says,
what is the use of worrying over
the sufferings or trials or burdens
of the world? "Which of you by
worrying can add one cubit to his
stature? (Matthew 6:27). Suffi-
cient for the day is its own trouble
(Matthew 6:34). Accordingly, if
we hold onto the Lord Jesus, who
bore all the sufferings and tell Him,
“Lord, You are my thoughts; there
is none but You to help with love”,
He will surely deliver us. Remem-
bering the physical sufferings that
He underwent when He was in
this world, He would intercede for
us at our times of trouble.
“For we do not have a High
Priest who cannot sympa-
thize with our weaknesses,
but was in all points tempted
as we are, yet without sin”
(Hebrews 4:15).
How did the Lord successfully
overcome His sufferings and what
are the blessings that we obtain by
following them? – Let us meditate
on these things:

 Grace given by
obedience
‘Then He went down with
them and came to Nazareth,
and was subject to them, but
His mother kept all these
things in her heart’
(Luke 2:51).
At the age of 12, knowing the
purpose for which God, His Fa-
ther sent Him into this world, the
Lord Jesus sat in the midst of the
teachers in the Temple and spoke
to them. And all who heard Him
were astonished at His under-
standing and answers. His mother
said to Him, "Son, why have You
done this to us? Look, Your fa-
ther and I have sought You anx-
iously." And He said to them,
"Why did you seek Me? Did you
not know that I must be about My
Father's business?” Yet, knowing
well that obeying His parents was
the will of God, He subjected Him-
self to them and went with them.
Hence, He increased in wisdom
and stature, and in favor with God
and men (Luke 2:46-52).
Once, a mother spoke to me
over the phone and cried for her
son’s long term sickness. I re-
minded her about God’s promise,
‘if you would believe you would
see the glory of God?" (John
11:40), and explained to her about
the Lord’s love, miracles and
signs. After that also, she kept on
talking about her problems and did
not obey the Lord’s Words and
give room to thoughts about His
36 JESUS CALLS March 2017 - www.jesuscalls.org
glory and miracle.
"For what great nation is
there that has God so near to
it, as the LORD our God is to
us, for whatever reason we
may call upon Him?’
(Deuteronomy 4:7).
The LORD is near to all who
call upon Him, To all who
call upon Him in truth
(Psalm 145:18).
When we believe these prom-
ise verses and obey Him, He
would be near us.
My dear sisters, like King
David, who sought the Lord early
in the morning (Psalm 63:1), learn
to seek Him early in the morning.
According to the verse, ‘He
awakens Me morning by morn-
ing’ (Isaiah 50:4), He would give
you the grace for that. Get up early
in the morning and interact with
Him; hand over your worries to
Him; you, who seek Him early in
the morning, would find Him
(Proverbs 8:17). Then the wisdom
from heaven would rule over you.
Seeing your obedience, your firm
faith and humility, the Lord will de-
light over you. He will increase His
grace in your life to do His will.
But those who wait on the
LORD Shall renew their
strength; They shall mount
up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be
weary, They shall walk and
not faint (Isaiah 40:31).
Also, if you read the Word of
God daily, obey His Word and
wait in His presence in reverence,
the Lord would dwell with you.
He will grant your needs accord-
ing to your request.
Depth of Love
‘God is love….he who abides
in love abides in God, and
God in him’ (I John 4:8,16).
Once, the scribes and Phari-
sees brought to Jesus a woman
caught in adultery. People too sur-
rounded Him curious to know
what form of judgment He would
pass on her.
‘He had no need that anyone
should testify of man, for He
knew what was in man’
(John 2:25)
Accordingly, knowing what
was in their minds, Jesus kept
quiet for sometimes. Then He said,
‘"He who is without sin among
you, let him throw a stone at her
first.". Then those who heard it,
being convicted by their con-
science, went out one by one. He,
who is the personification of love
and who hates sin but loves the
sinner said to that woman with real
burden and concern, ‘"Neither do
I condemn you; go and sin no
more." (John 8:1-13). Is there
anything comparable to the love
of the Lord who forgave that
woman caught in adultery and
who was a laughing stock to the
people and delivered her from the
hand of the wicked?
My dear sisters, likewise, this
heart of love looks at you too! Is
everyone blaming you and caus-
ing you pain? Don’t be worried.
Look up to the Lord, who hates
sin but loves the sinner. He will
forgive your sins. He will protect
you from not falling into the mud
of sin. He will remove from you
all the worldly things such as the
love of the world, lust of the flesh,
and pride of life (I John 2:16,17).
He will transform you into a new
creation (II Corinthians 5:17). He
will draw you with gentle cords,
with bands of love (Hosea 11:4).
A sister was leading a
happy family life with her
husband and dear children.
Suddenly the quiet family
was assailed by a storm like
situation. How? That woman,
who should have submitted
herself to her husband, de-
veloped friendship with an-
other man. The family life be-
came hell. Seeing the
mother’s adulterous life, the
children began to lead a way-
ward life. But, the husband,
the head of the family, held
on to the feet of Christ, who
was his only hope. His love
and unshakable faith on Him,
gradually changed that
woman’s heart. She too be-
gan to love Jesus and her
family. Divine love flooded
into that family and peace
and joy was restored.
My dear sisters, who are
caught up in such sinful tempta-
tions, hold onto Jesus. ‘If anyone
is a worshiper of God and does
His will, He hears him’ (John 9:31).
Accordingly, commit yourself to
be godly and do His will. His love
will change everything in your life
and divine peace and joy would
rule over you.
Blessing of Patience
‘He was oppressed and He
was afflicted, Yet He opened
not His mouth; He was led
as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its
shearers is silent, So He
opened not His mouth’
(Isaiah 53:7).
Through the above verse, we
come to know how Jesus was
tormented by the jealous people
and how He was silent even
amidst that, without opening His
mouth. For whom did He bear all
these sufferings? In order to de-
liver us from sicknesses, trials, and
afflictions, He patiently endured all
the sufferings and trials that came
against Him.
A young girl was a busy-
body and had the habit of
talking openly about every-
thing. Her terrible nature
frightened everyone, who
tried to avoid her as much as
possible. Once she went to a
Gospel meeting where she
heard the Word of God which
pierced her heart like a two
edged sword. She repented
and confessed her sins to the
Lord with tears. She received
divine peace and joy. Her life
was totally transformed.
From then on, only godly
words came out of her mouth
and those who were scared
of her came seeking her with
love. Who did this wonder?
Who else can do this but the
Lord Jesus who patiently
gave Himself up on the cross
to change our sinful life and
sanctify us?
‘…the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, self-control’
(Galatians 5:22,23).
The only way for these fruits
of the spirit to be seen in us is to
meditate on Jesus saying ‘You
alone are my thoughts’ and to fol-
low His steps.
‘…when that which is per-
fect has come, then that
which is in part will be done
away’ (I Corinthians 13:10).
Let us pray to get filled with
the Holy Spirit, the Perfect. Let
us think of the benefits that we
have got from God and praise Him
from the bottom of our heart. Then
He will pour His Holy Spirit upon
us in such a measure that there will
not be room enough to receive it.
Then the Holy Spirit will remove
all our shortcomings and lacks.
My dear sister, it is the will of
God that we should receive good
qualities such as love, obedience,
and patience from the Lord Jesus.
Hold on to Him right today! Don’t
think of man and things of the
world and get disappointed. In-
stead let your thoughts be filled
with Jesus! Let your vessel over-
flow with Christ’s characteristics!
May you receive His priceless and
inexpressible, glorious blessings
and live happily! 

 “…he who abides in love abides in
God, and God in him’
F
rom this verse, we can
understand how pow
erful and glorious
God’s love is! The God of
gods, the Lord Jesus Christ
and the Holy Spirit give us
this divine love. Father, Son
and the Holy Spirit are the
same. So, we are able to taste
God’s love in three forms be-
cause of which divine peace
and joy fill our life. Let us
meditate on a few women, who
thus loved the God of gods and
received blessings.
Martha and Mary
Both were sisters. They, as
well as their only brother
Lazarus had much love for the
Lord Jesus Christ (John 11:5).
Yet their love differed from
each other. Martha showed her
love for the Lord by welcom-
ing Him in her home and by
taking care of Him. Lazarus
too loved Jesus dearly. Mary,
on the other hand, knowing
pretty well that the words that

proceeded out of His mouth
were full of love and life, sat
at His feet whenever He vis-
ited them and listened to His
Words. The reason, her love
was filled with godly fear.
That’s why the Lord tells about
her to Martha,
"Martha, Martha, you are
worried and troubled about
many things. But one thing
is needed, and Mary has
chosen that good part,
which will not be taken
away from her."
(Luke 10:41,42).
My dear sisters, what kind
of love do you show to the
Lord? Mary chose the good
part which could not be taken
away from her. This is the big-
gest blessing that He gave for
the love she had for Him. Even
today, like Mary, if you too
would wait at the feet of the
Lord Jesus, read and meditate
on His Word diligently and
seek Him, the Lord would
proudly tell of you, ‘You’ve
chosen that good part which
will not be taken away from
you”.
Today, if our life lacks this
divine state and fulfils Bible
reading and prayer as some
duty, there is no way to enjoy
the divine peace and joy given
by God.
In the Esther Prayer Group,
many sisters gather as groups
and learn to pray for others.
When we send them the
Prayer Points along with Bible
verses, they read them ea-
gerly, meditate upon them and
pray earnestly for other
women, holding on to those
promises. This prayer be-
comes a blessing to many
women’s lives and also the
sister who prays gets filled
with great peace and joy.
Don’t you want this kind of
blessing which the Lord gives
for the sisters in the Esther
Prayer Group? For your life
to be pleasing to the Lord, if
you spend your time in prayer
and in reading the Bible with
reverence, there is no doubt
that your life too would be
filled with divine peace and
joy. About this we read in
Psalm 29:11, ‘The LORD will
give strength to His people;
The LORD will bless His
people with peace’.
Today, there is no peace in
the lives of many people.
Their hearts are filled with
worries, burdens, jealousy,
anger, enmity, hatred, filth and
lust which are brought by the
devil (James 3:14-16). They
are far away from the Lord.
The devil easily enters into
them and gives them a life of
unrighteousness, filth and in-
iquities.
My dear sisters, have you
given your life to the devil? Or
have you given your whole
heart to the Lord Jesus? Do
you seek the Lord with rever-
ence like Mary? – Examine
your life. If these lacks are
found in your life, kneel down
in the presence of God and
plead to Him saying, “Lord,
You know about all the short-
comings in my life; change my
life upside down to choose the
good part like Mary did and
taste your love. Forgive all my
sins. Wash me with the sacred
blood which You have shed for
me on the cross and give me
the grace to seek You with all
my heart”
"And whatever things you
ask in prayer, believing, you
will receive."
(Matthew 21:22).
Accordingly, the Lord will
surely hear your prayers and
grant you victory. The Bible
says, ‘this is the victory that
has overcome the world; our
faith’ (I John 5:4).
Hannah, mother of
Prophet Samuel:
In the Bible, we see
Hannah, the mother of
Samuel, languishing without a
child since several years. But,
her husband’s other wife,
Peninnah, had many children.
You can imagine how much
suffering and tears would have
been there in Hannah’s life.
Yes, she was tormented by
sorrow, pain and agony and
she had absolutely no peace
and joy. At this juncture, she
remembered the love of God.
Immediately, she ran to the
Temple of God and opened up
her heart to Him. She said, ‘I
have poured out my soul be-
fore the LORD’ ( I Samuel
1:15). In the same Chapter,
18th verse says, ‘her face was
no longer sad’. What does it
mean? The moment Hannah
poured out her heart in the
presence of God, He filled her
with divine peace. Also, He
made her realize with faith that
only His love would give joy
in her life. Accordingly God
blessed her with, not a single
child but with many children (I
Samuel 2:21).
Anna, the Prophet:
Like Hannah, we read about
Anna in the New Testament
(Luke 2:36-38). How was her
life filled with sorrow? She
lived with her husband only for
seven years and became a
widow at quite a young age.
Just imagine how her life
would have been. Today, so
many sisters who go through
this path are deeply troubled.
They languish without peace
saying, ‘What will I do next?
How will I live in loneliness?’
But this Anna, ran to the
Temple of God and prayed for
God’s love. Don’t we get His
love, care and blessing when
we seek His presence? Many
widows of these days fail to
understand this. They think
more about their remarriage
and wonder how they would
live in loneliness. Sometimes,
www.jesuscalls.org - March 2017 JESUS CALLS 41
they undergo yet another sor-
rowful situation in their lives.
But Anna held on to the feet
of God. Not departing from
the temple, she served God
with fasting and prayers night
and day. When her love got
united with the Lord’s love,
she was filled with the joy and
peace of knowing the Lord at
the ripe old age of 84.
In my life too, by the grace
of God, when I lost my
husband with whom I had
lived for 48 years and was left
alone, I chose this life like
Anna did. God is leading me
always to abide in Him, read
and meditate upon His Word,
and with His help, comfort the
sisters/families that need
comfort. I cannot describe in
words how much peace and
joy I enjoy from this.
Yes, dear ones, like the
above mentioned sisters, you
too should love Him dearly in
order that the love of Christ
should flow into you. Get
united with Him. A man of
God sings, “I am nothing with-
out You…”
Let us also sing about Him
thus. Let us come out of all
the things of the world, seek
Jesus, be on fire by the Holy
Spirit and be victorious enjoy-
ing a life filled with God’s
love and be always filled with
divine peace and joy. The love
of the Lord will wipe away
your tears.

Reunited Family!
I am married since more than
30 years. We have two sons and a
daughter. My husband was an ex-
treme alcoholic because of which
we underwent terrible sufferings in
the family.
Also, quite unexpectedly my
husband left me in the year 2007,
taking my two sons with him. My
daughter, who was then studying
7th std., was with me. I did not
know what to do and both of us
languished without food. We ap-
proached our relatives but they too
rejected us. I had no way to live.
Then I got a chance to work as a
maid in a house and with that in-
come I brought up my daughter
with great difficulty.
At this juncture, the mistress of
the house where I was working told
me about the Jesus Calls Prayer
Tower. I began to visit the Prayer
Tower. Particularly, in 2012, I at-
tended the meeting conducted by
Sis. Stella Dhinakaran in the
Vanagaram Prayer Tower. I was
surprised when she said that day
that God would do a miracle. I
trusted God more. Since then I held
on to Him and became His child.
Also I continued watching the
Jesus Calls TV programmes and
joined Sis. Stella Dhinakaran in
prayer for my husband and for my
family to get reunited. What a won-
der! In 2014, my husband came
back to me. Above all, he was
completely delivered from alcohol-
ism.
Presently, my husband, children
and I are living happily. My hus-
band, who hated Jesus earlier, has
now accepted Him as his personal
Saviour and is praying along with
me in the Prayer Tower. Our fam-
ily is filled with peace and joy. Glory
to God. - K.Kanchana,
Chennai - 108
Delivered from death
Last August I fell sick and went
to the hospital as my fever spiked
up. The doctors gave me some
medicine but the next morning
when I woke up, my both legs were
swollen and I could not walk. I
could not pass urine also. Immedi-
ately my children took me to the
hospital. Again the doctors tested
me and said that my both kidneys
had failed and that I needed urgent
treatment. I was taken to the ICU.
My condition worsened as days
went by and I became bedridden.
Finally doctors gave up hope and
said that I wouldn’t live long. Even
the chief doctor had told my chil-
dren that there was no chance for
me to live and that I should be ad-
mitted in the government hospital
since the cost would be low. I was
admitted there and here too doc-
tors said that I would not live. I too
felt the same. Since the hospital
was becoming crowded, I was sent
back home after a week. That day
my daughter contacted the Jesus
Calls Prayer Tower to pray for my
healing. The Prayer Warrior said
that the Lord would surely heal me.
Also when Sis. Stella Dhinakaran
was praying for the sick in the TV
programme, I too joined her in the
prayer. What a wonder! I began
to pass urine. Not only that, the
swelling on my leg vanished and I
started walking. Now I walk well
and am going for my job. Glory to
God who has done this miracle.

Power came down;
tumour vanished
I am married and have a child.
I am working in a company in
Chennai. I had a tumour in my
throat because of which I could not
eat properly. Also whenever I ate
something my stomach would
bloat. So I suffered a lot and could
not even drink water properly.
Because of this, I could not con-
centrate on my job. As I became
sick I went to the hospital and took
medicines. But still I was not
healed.
At this juncture, while I was
watching the Jesus Calls TV
programme, Sis. Stella Dhinakaran
was sharing God’s message and
she prayed specially for the sick. I
too joined her in the prayer and
cried out to God for my healing.
Suddenly Sister said, ‘Let the thy-
roid tumour vanish’. I felt as if the
prayer was for me. When these
words came from her, the power
of God came upon me and imme-
diately the tumour in my throat van-
ished. I was healed completely.
After that when I again went
to the hospital for check up, the
report came out to be normal. Since
then I am in perfect health. I am
able to eat well without any prob-
lem and also do my job. My thanks
to God who did this miracle.

 - Yesupatham
Savitha halted as she came out
of her room, taking her lunch bag.
“Is he Divakar? It’s years since
I saw him in person… seen him
only in the photo’ – As she was
thus musing, “You are Savitha,
right?” – the question asked him,
confirmed her suspicion.
“Yes, I was wondering if you
are Divakar… How are you and
how is your mother?”
“Mom had a fall and her hip is
injured. So she’s not able to
walk..”
“Oh, gosh! O.K come with
me, let’s us have lunch. Give me
your mother’s address. I’ll visit
her”
Divakar, who was about to
decline her offer for lunch, hesi-
tated and finally decided to go with
her to the dining hall as ordained
by God.
‘Savitha! You talk well now. Its
quite surprising that you could hear
now. I never thought that I would
see you working in a bank”.
Hiding her moist eyes, she
spoke, “Yes, it is a surprise for
many. But this is an easy thing for
the Lord. When I was deaf and
dumb, I was a laughing stock. I
could not bear it at that young age
and even decided to commit sui-
cide. But God comforted me
through my Sunday School
teacher. It was she, who intro-
duced Jesus to me as a close
friend. Since then I started telling
him my difficulties and shame, on
my knees. He gave me peace
which made me take my impedi-
ment as a challenge. By His grace,
my ears were opened and my
tongue was loosened. I began to
talk well. Through my education,
in Sashtri Nagar, Adyar, Chennai
I concentrated on my studies and
shifted to English Medium when I
was in my 7th Std., Everybody
discouraged me but I committed
everything to Jesus and continued
with my studies. I could complete
my schooling and did my college.
Here again some people teased
me. But I was not bothered. I
came college first much to
everyone’s surprise…”
Finishing their lunch, they con-
tinued with their conversation.
“Mom and I had teased
Savitha a lot. We’ve made her cry
quite often. How is she able to
forget everything and sit here with
me?” Wondered Divakar.
“I wrote bank exams and fi-
nally got this post last month. My
husband’s family willingly ac-
cepted me and now we are
happy”.
Divakar was stunned on hear-
ing this!
“O.K I’ve been talking only
about me Divakar. What about
you? How many children do you
have?”
With a grim look, he talked to
himself, “After listening to you, I
feel that I can also achieve some-
thing. I don’t have a job and so
am not able to take care of
mom…”
“What happened Divakar?
You are not telling anything? His
thoughts were interrupted by
Savitha.
‘After coming here, I have also
become a new man. I’ll tell you
when the time comes…’ So say-
ing he got up to wash his hands.
Both looked happy!
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
he is a new creation; old things
have passed away (II Corinthians
5:17).

 GOD’S MIRACLES THROUGH GOD’S MESSAGES
Victory given by the Promise
My son is now doing second year in college. For several months, he had been practising for weight lifting
competition. He told me that he had to attend a competition on November 17th. But he faced many obstacles.
He could not get the certificates needed for that. He was told that he could participate in the competition only
if he had those certificates. We tried for many days but in vain. So my son was totally upset and we did not
know what to do. It was painful to see him suffer.
At this state, as a family we visited the Vanagaram Prayer Tower Chennai, on November 1st. I was
wondering about that month’s promise word. That time, the special promise message for that month was being
broadcast in the Prayer Tower and I started listening to it with prayer. Sis. Stella Dhinakaran mentioned the
verse, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’ (Philippians 4:13), and said that the Lord would
strengthen us. I claimed this promise verse for my son and began to pray every day. My husband and son too
joined me in the prayer at 4.30 in the morning every day and pleaded to the Lord to help him take part in the
competition. What a wonder! Within few days after hearing the God’s message, he got the two certificates
which he needed and the obstacle was removed. After getting prayers from the Prayer Tower, he attended the
competition on November 17th and he got the first place. He got a certificate and cash prize. Glory to God.
- Latha Wilson, Chennai -116
GOD’S POWER CAME DOWN; OBSTACLE REMOVED
I was suffering from the problem of varicose vein because of which my whole body, especially legs and
hands would tremble. I was scared. I attended the Family Blessing Meeting conducted by Sis. Stella Dhinakaran,
with hope. That day she gave God’s message and prayed for the sick. That prayer was for me. I too joined
dear sister in prayer. The power of God came upon me and in a moment all my fears vanished. Also my
trembling stopped and now I am in good health. My thanks to dear sister, who prayed for me.
- Saravanakumar, Chennai -28
Obstacle gone; Marriage took place
My daughter was not married for a long time. So we were in agony. I attended the last Women’s Confer-
ence. When Sis. Stella Dhinakaran offered God’s message and prayed for those who were not married, I too
joined her in the prayer. Hearing the prayer, the Lord blessed my daughter with a suitable partner and helped
us to have the marriage in a grand manner. Glory to God. - R.Prema Ravi, Kanchipuram.

Is godly fear necessary in our daily
The Bible says, ‘His delight
is in the fear of the LORD’
(Isaiah 11:3).
‘Happy is the man who is al-
ways reverent’
(Proverbs 28:14).
Hence, my dear sisters,
read this diligently and follow
this in reverence, with the help
of God and then He would
change your life into a blessed
and sweet smelling life, pleas-
ing to Him.
FEAR OF GOD IN
WOMEN’S LIVES:
The Bible says, ‘But a
woman who fears the LORD,
she shall be praised’
(Proverbs 31:30).
Let me elaborate on my
life to you. I was born in a
Christian family. My parents
brought me up in godly ways
as much as they knew. We at-
tended church every Sunday,
without fail. I was in the Sun-
day school and won many
prizes. This was my spiritual
life! For the sake of studies I
had to join a hostel. When I
was there, I used to long for

my parents’ love. I was 16
then. Many friends were there
but still one day I was crying
thinking that I was far away
from my parents’ love and
care. That time, I saw the pres-
ence of God coming down. I
did not see anyone. I heard the
Lord’s voice in my ears. Yes,
the Lord Jesus Christ came
into my room and spoke to
me. I felt Him asking me,
“Daughter, I have given My
life for you. Won’t you seek
My love?” Also, I was drawn
by His divine love. I cannot
describe this in words. Even
without my knowledge I
opened my heart to Him. Right
then I accepted the Lord Jesus
as my Saviour. I felt His divine
peace and joy filling me. Since
that day, the love of my friends
or even my parents did not
appear great to me. The Lord
gave me a divine life of always
meditating on Him and living
in unison with Him. From this,
He Himself taught me to do
everything only according to
His will and walk in fear of
Him.
“I will instruct you and teach
you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye”
(Psalm 32:8).
Yes, dear ones! This divine
love has given me reverence
and a holy life until now, as a
result of which it is of great
help to me to live closely with
Him, to have fellowship with
Him and to walk in the ways
shown by Him. This is a life
of godly fear. What does the
Bible say about this?
‘I will put My fear in their
hearts so that they will not
depart from Me’
(Jeremiah 32:40).
During my betrothal, the
pastor read from Proverbs
31:10-31. As I listened to it, I
was afraid and worried that I
did not have such a life. But
after marriage as we lived as
couple, God gave me godly
fear and taught me step by step
to live as a virtuous woman
www.jesuscalls.org - March 2017 JESUS CALLS 47
and as a vessel pleasing to
Him. He thus led me and
blessed me. Hence, dear sis-
ters, God will surely increase
godly fear and divine love in
you in order that you would
live as priceless and virtuous
women.
GOOD PART THRU’
GODLY FEAR:
When we read about the
sisters Martha and Mary in the
Bible, as the Lord said, Martha
was content doing ‘much serv-
ing’. Hence she had no godly
fear because of which worries
and burdens in her life op-
pressed her. On the other
hand, her sister Mary, had
committed her life to always
holding on to the feet of God
and in meditating His Word.
Hence, the Lord Jesus Christ
Himself testifies about her,
‘Mary has chosen that good
part, which will not be taken
away from her." (Luke 10:38-
42). So, my dear sisters, as the
Bible says,
‘Be anxious for nothing, but
in everything by prayer and
supplication, with thanksgiv-
ing, let your requests be
made known to God; and the
peace of God, which sur-
passes all understanding,
will guard your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus’
(Philippians 4:6,7).

Accordingly, hold on to the
Lord firmly. Read the Bible
verse diligently every day.
Memorize the promises in the
Bible. At the due time, during
your difficult times, these
promises of God would come
to your mind. Holding on to
these promises, when you
pray for your problems, the
Lord will surely heed your
prayers. Like Mary, your life
would be a life that has cho-
sen the good part and will be
full of godly fear.
WOMAN OF DIVINE
STRENGTH
Today, many women are
not worried, ‘How to live for
the Lord? How to arise and
shine? And how to fulfil His
will?’ They do their routine
regular works and do not pay
any attention to seek God and
to walk in His ways. In the
Bible we read about a woman
judge by name Deborah and
how she lived. She was a wife
who had many responsibilities
as every wife has. Since she
had a close fellowship with
God, He had filled her with
the power of His Holy Spirit.
Having the gift of prophecy,
she had been chosen by God
as a Judge of Israel. God also
used her to gain victory in ev-
ery battle by revealing His will
to her in each and every battle.
What about you, my dear
sisters? Do you want to fill
your life with this divine
power and fear? The Bible
says, ‘"For everyone who asks
receives…’ (Luke 11:10).
For I will pour water on him
who is thirsty, And floods on
the dry ground; I will pour
My Spirit on your descen-
dants, And My blessing on
your offspring
(Isaiah 44:3).
Accordingly, if you kneel
down with thirst, longing and
godly fear and ask Him for
this kind of life, the Lord will
surely grant you such kind of
life, filled with divine power.
The wife of a particular ser-
vant of God never used to re-
spect her husband’s untiring,
day and night service for
God. Whenever he came
home late, finishing his min-
istry, she would keep a bowl
of cold porridge before him
and go back to her room, pre-
tending to sleep. But, he
would take up the bowl in his
hands and pray loudly, ‘Lord,
I praise You for this porridge.
So many poor are there who
are denied of even this por-
ridge. I thank You for the food
You have given”. After that
he would go to sleep peace-
fully. But this woman used to
be restless in the bed, angry
and annoyed with him.
 At this juncture, that ser-
vant of God died quite unex-
pectedly. After that, she was
left alone and she longed for
someone to help her. But
none was there. Only then
her eyes and heart were
opened. She immediately
looked up to the Lord. Our
gracious and merciful God,
forgave all her transgres-
sions and changed her into a
new creation. Also, as she
began to wait in the Lord’s
presence more and more, He
anointed her with the filling,
power and gifts of the Holy
Spirit. The love of God flowed
out of her. Whenever she
prayed for people, filled with
this love, she would shed
tears. Her life was totally
transformed. Through her,
many churches were estab-
lished. Many were the
miracles done because of
godly fear in her life. Even
today, her children are serv-
ing the Lord in different
places.
Yes, dear sisters, do you
live a foolhardy life, without
any fear of God? Is your life
filled with filth and
unrighteousness? If so, kneel
down before the feet of God
and cry out to Him, like that
sister did. Let us commit our-
selves by praying, “Lord, re-
move my pride and haughti-
ness and give me godly fear
and reverence. Forgive my
sins and change me into your
daughter. As Paul said, give me
the divine life of living for
Christ. Give me the grace to
follow You every day, with
fear”. Then, the divine power,
gifts and the filling of the Holy
Spirit, which the Lord gave
for that woman, would fill you.
You would arise and shine for
the Lord.

Thru’ Letters…
God, who rebuilt the broken family
I got married in 1991. In 1993, my husband died in a road accident and I was heartbroken. I
did not know what to do.
I came to know of the Prayer Tower and wrote a letter seeking prayers for me. I was com-
forted by the reply. After that I was in contact with the Prayer Tower regularly. I also supported
the ministry with what offering I could give.
After this, I who had studied up to 6th std., did my higher studies. I had
requested for a good job. By the grace of God I got a government job. Now I
am doing well.
I educated my son with great difficulty. By the grace of God, he has also
completed his B.E and is holding a good job. Thanks to you, who prayed for
me! Praise be to God who has done miracles in my life.

 At SEESHA, we see women of indomitable spirit in the rural and urban poor communities where we work.
They may be uneducated, without a job, widowed or dealing with an alcoholic spouse – but they never stop
seeking ways to support and uplift their families. That is why we support such women through trainings,
awareness campaigns and financial assistance, building their capacities to play the roles they have so passion-
ately taken up in their homes and communities.
Though SEESHA awareness on a range of topics including health, hygiene, disease, financial management,
rights, government schemes, water conservation, waste management, etc. are made. Help to improve the
health, financial status and quality of living in their families, long-term and short-term skill training courses such
as tailoring, jute-bag making, cosmetology, etc. equip them to become breadwinners and entrepreneurs who
can financially support their families, is given. Self-help groups and women’s groups help them manage revolv-
ing funds and support the financial needs of their families. Monthly financial assistance for women who are
widowed or have been made destitute is provided. Motivated women are trained in various areas of health and
environment, and groomed into Community Health Facilitators (CHFs) who act as ambassadors to promote
health and prevent disease within their own local communities.
Last year 430 women were trained in tailoring through 13 centres. 39 sewing machines distributed to
women who completed tailoring training. 731 women received awareness and skill training in various short-
term programmes. 222 widows/destitute women were supported financially.

SEESHA’S SUPPORT :
“I am S. Sasikala from Keelkavarapettu village. My husband passed away 6 years
ago, leaving me with my two children – one son and one daughter. I am a daily-wage
labourer, working in agricultural fields. I do not get regular work, and the wages I earn
is not sufficient. As we live below poverty line, I find it difficult to fulfil the growing needs
of my children. Thanks to SEESHA, I am now being supported financially on a monthly
basis to take care of my children’s needs. Moreover, I am being trained at SEESHA
Tailoring Centre so that I can start my own business and support my family without having to depend
on anyone else. I am truly grateful for this wonderful opportunity that gives me hope for the future.”
