2 During January 2018, series of New Year Blessing Meetings were arranged in several cities of Tamil Nadu such as Tiruvallur on 5 th, Vellore on 6 th, Chennai on 7 th, Trichy on 13 th, Namakkal on 14 th and Salem on 15 th for people to receive blessings for this year from the gracious hands of God. In addition to the people from these cities, thousands of people from the surrounding towns and villages thronged to have a personal touch from the Lord. Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and his family delivered the New Year Blessing messages and offered prayers for the people who had gathered there. On Sunday, the 7 th of January, the New Year Blessing Meeting was held at the St. George s Higher Secondary School Grounds, Chennai. Dr. G. K. Francis (Correspondent, St. George s Higher Secondary School) and Bishops, Pastors, and several church leaders who participated in this meeting, cut a 40- feet long cake along with the family of Dr. Paul Dhinakaran to welcome the New Year. Prayer and 2

3 worship was led by Bro. Samuel Dhinakaran. Special prayer was offered for the nation by Sister Stella Dhinakaran. Sister Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran prayed fervently for God to bless the people. Along with the New Year Blessing Message, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran proclaimed decisively, that from the year 2018, the year of preparation for the rapture of Jesus our Chief Shepherd will begin. The Vice Chancellor of Karunya Deemed to be University, Dr. P. Mannar Jawahar received the first copy of the new book that was released, titled Joy in the Family in Tamil authored by Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and his family. The graceful presence of nearly 200 pastors in each of these meetings through the NPMA (National Prayer Ministry Alliance) was a blessing. Let us thank God for it and for the many thousands who were touched through these meetings. 3

4 4 And he (Moses) said, Please, show me Your glory. Then He said, I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before you... But He said, You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live. And the LORD said, Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock. So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. (Exodus 33:18-22) Today I want to remind you of a powerful statement from Moses prayer. He said, Lord, please show me Your glory and to that God Almighty answers, I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before you. Moses prayer and the prayer of Jesus disciples when they were severely threatened not to speak in the Name of Jesus as recorded in Acts 4:23-31, were prayers that were crying out to God to show them His glory. This is our prayer too: Show Your glory once more Lord. And God says: I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land (Haggai 2:6). Is this your prayer? He will answer it. God s answer to Moses prayer: I am going to put My name upon you. I am going to proclaim the name of the Lord upon you, for you to see my glory and survive. Yes, we need the shield of God s name, that s why Jesus said, Ask anything in My Name, I will do it (John 14:14). We can approach God only in the name of Jesus. At a recently held meeting, a sister by the name Jeyasankari from Chennai gave her testimony before thousands of people which gave all glory to the Lord. Here is her testimony: In the year 2007, I was suffering from severe health Dr. Paul Dhinakaran

5 You will see God s Glory issues. There was no healing in spite of receiving medical treatment. My health condition worsened as the days went by. When I went to the doctor again for diagnosis, I was told that I was in the last stages of cancer. I was shocked. Under the circumstances wherein I was not given many days to live, the doctors started me on radiation treatment. I lost all my hair due to this and I lost even my complexion and became thin. My body looked as though I was beaten up and my husband on seeing all of this left me and went away. At this juncture, unable to even walk, I tied a cloth on my head and came with great difficulty to the special meeting which was hosted by Dr. Paul Dhinakaran at Chennai. At the end of the meeting, I personally met Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and asked him to pray for my cancer to 5

6 be healed. He at once placed his hand on my head and earnestly prayed in the Name of Jesus, The Egyptian you see today, you will never see again. You will search for this disease and will not find it. t that time, I felt the glory of the Lord descending upon me. I returned home with excitement and hope. Miraculously, changes were taking place in my body. After a few days, I went back to the hospital for some tests and the report came back, No trace of cancer. The doctors were amazed! I received complete healing. Even my husband who had left me came back seeking me. We now live happily in our own house. We have become partners of all the facets in the Jesus Calls Ministry and are regularly supporting this ministry. I am also serving as a prayer intercessor at the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well. (Mark 16:17, 18). God says that He has given us His name, and He will proclaim His name on us. Every knee shall bow before the name of Jesus and there is salvation for 6 everyone in Jesus name. Many years ago my father was heartbroken due to many challenges and burdens he had to face as he was following the Lord. There was tremendous criticism. You know God allows it, so that you don t depend on man but only on Jesus. People close to you may not understand you, but God allows it so that you will cling only to Jesus and see the glory of God in your life. This helps you to rise up from the natural to the supernatural walk with God. It is not the success of man s standards that count, but the glory of God s power operating in your life. He then lifts you up to that next level. In deep agony my father cried out, Lord, have You also forsaken me; are You also condemning me? The Holy Spirit rose up within him, and Jesus came and said, My son, come, let us go to heaven. And He took him to heaven and showed him different parts of heaven. And then the Lord called an Angel, and He said, On the way back show My son Dhinakaran, the kingdom of hell and the Angel took my father to the kingdom of hell, of course the demons could not see them. That s the power of God. Our God is the God of the dead and the living. God has power over heaven and power over darkness. He says every knee on the earth, under the earth and in heavens shall bow before Jesus. To his surprise, my father saw, that Satan/Lucifer also sits on the same kind of throne like the one on which the Almighty God sits. He is so beautiful to look at, and so sweet that he can entice anybody. Then the Angel showed him different departments in hell. They were the departments of sickness, war, family problems, just like the governments have! And they are doing research on how to bring new troubles into the world! That s why we have new diseases, new wars and new problems in families. They are manufactured in hell. But then those heads, which were controlling each department, were terrible to look at, specially the demon of sickness. It was awkward and terrible. He saw the lake of fire and how the people cry. He saw a dark cliff under which people sit. Suddenly the sky opens, and they see heaven, they see the light of God and see their relatives in heaven and they cry gnashing their teeth, Why did I miss heaven? and the sky closes and there is gnashing of teeth in darkness. Then the Angel brought my father back to the throne-room of Lucifer where all the spirits that were in control of different parts of the world, came and stood around Lucifer reporting to him about the national

7 leaders, about the people of each country, and about the servants of God. Lucifer asked them, Into which woman or man should I get in to take control of that nation. Who is the right person? What is lacking in that servant of God that I can touch and destroy a whole church, the whole ministry, community and the whole nation and each demon gave its input. Yes, he needs only one person to get into, to take over a nation. And the Angel suddenly said, Dhinakaran, now see the fun and he softly whispered JESUS. He just whispered the name of Jesus in hell. It echoed and spread across different departments of hell including the throne-room of Satan, and every demon started standing up, and Lucifer stood up and they all began to shriek and cry in one voice: has Jesus come back to destroy us and bind us forever? The Angel smiled at my dad and said, Just the whisper of the name of Jesus, makes the whole hell tremble. This name has been put upon your forehead Dhinakaran. Why are you afraid? Rise up! No weapon formed against you shall prosper. No man shall be able to stand before you. You have the great name of Jesus. You shall enjoy this glory. Thank God for the name of Jesus is upon you. Your name might be unknown: maybe people are fighting against your name; but thank God, the living name of Jesus is upon you. Praise Him. You shall see His glory. People shall see His name in you and know the greatness of your God and you will do great things. Remember the promises of God: Ask anything in my name, I will show you My glory. Let not your heart be troubled. God s Goodness will pass before you I will make all my goodness pass before you. (Exodus 33:19) During a war in which India fought, one of the Air Force pilots who came back from the war met my dad, and my father said, I have been praying for you, I m so glad that you are alive. He said, Truly it is the grace of God which surrounded me uncle. was ying the helicopter, and you know those rebels sit on the coconut trees and shoot rocket launchers, and I saw so many helicopters hit by the rocket launchers right before my eyes. The battalions, who went before me, were all destroyed and I had to convey the trooper. I was praying in the spirit, and suddenly a cloud came and surrounded my helicopter. They could hear the sound of the helicopter but they could not see it. And I passed right through the coconut trees, took the soldiers, put them there and came back and until I came back, the cloud engulfed me. The enemy could not see me. Yes, we are not consumed because His grace surrounds us and we get to see His glory. God has a Place for you nd finally, God says to Moses, Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock. (Exodus 33:21) Jesus longs for us to be by His side, to be with Him. Eve came from Adam s side (Genesis 2 21,22 and to also re ect our union with God, Jesus was pierced by His side on the cross (John 19:34). He chose his 12 disciples praying the whole night, for two reasons that He may be with them and that they may desire to be with Him (Mark 3:13, 14). He prays for us, He prays for us with groaning (Romans 8:26). He says, My son Paul, come and stand by My side; I don t want you to do anything else, just let Me pray for you, let Me pray for you, let Me pray for you. You may say: There is nobody to pray with me, nobody to pity me, there is nobody to understand me. My friend, the Lord says Come and stand with Me. That s all. Just surrender yourself to do My will in this world, I will do the rest. I will keep praying, and you will see My glory. Yes, Jesus wants us to be with 7

8 Him, listen to Him and walk according to His plan (Jeremiah 29:11). Since the Lord loves us so much that He desires that we should be with Him, do not allow depressing thoughts to build up in your mind. Then you will see His glory. Where I am, there My servant also will be. (John 12:26) Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. (John 14:12) Would you say: Lord, I am here to doyour will on earth? These are the days, God wants to speak to us through prophesy. He says: I will pour My Spirit upon all esh, your sons and daughters shall prophesy (Acts 2:17). When you hear His voice, saying: Do it, take up this job, marry this person; speak this word to your family; speak this word to that person just do it and the Lord will hear your prayers and you will see the glory of God. n 1 2, we had the first campaign in New Delhi. It was a glorious campaign and the government gave us permission to conduct it in the centre of the city. It was amazing! On the first day my father spoke, and the second day he said, Paul, God says that you should speak tonight. I trembled in my shoes because government ministers and other officials would be there. And behold at 3 pm I got a terrible headache and stomach 8 pain. I began to shudder with pain and raging fever. I called my dad from my room, and I said, I can t move. Please daddy, you preach tonight. He said nothing doing whether you tremble or shiver, God has spoken that you are going to preach. Better obey God! and he put down the phone. I used to tremble before my dad and I didn t know what to do. At 6 pm I was still wriggling with pain. None of the medicines worked. But still I said, Lord, You have spoken and my father has spoken. I have to obey You and I have to obey my dad. With all the pain, without knowing what I was going to preach, in that most intellectual setting with nearly fifty thousand people there, I just got into the car, struggling, shivering and as the car went near the platform, and as I was climbing the platform, the refreshing came upon me. It was truly the glory of God. Within a moment all my fetters were gone! As I went to the platform, the Holy Spirit showed me, John 14:27. He said: Preach about my peace. And as I was speaking, the Holy Spirit was giving me the verses, the thoughts, the instances and the songs. That s the first time I experienced the Holy Spirit doing everything. He said, You need not do anything. I will pray through you, and you will see My glory. And that night we witnessed the greatest of miracles. When we are weak, then God s power operates. Our weakness cannot limit God s power. And I saw the deaf hear, the blind see and so many testimonies. nd finally a distinguished lady came to the platform. She was not a Christian. She said, I had back pain for more than twenty years and somebody told me if I go to that meeting I will be healed. So I came to the meeting and sat in the last row. I didn t know anything about Jesus; I didn t know what was going to happen. But this man as he stood up to speak, suddenly a bright light appeared where he was. He disappeared, and a beautiful person clad in white appeared in his place. And I saw rays of light coming from him and hitting me. I couldn t bear it. I soared and fell down. I got up just now and saw people walking away. And I heard somebody calling me from that same place, and drawing me to the same platform. And see I am totally free! My back pain is gone, and I have great peace in my heart. I saw Jesus right here! Take courage, my friend, the Lord can work through you too if you will surrender to His will and obey. You will see the glory of God (John 11:40) revealed through you to those around, in spite of your weakness, pain and shortcomings.

12 My dearly beloved, Let me bring you a word from the Lord for the second month of the New Year straight into your heart. It is from Revelation 3:8, that says, See, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it... The Lord will open wide doors for you to receive the blessings you have been waiting thus far in your children s education, your job, and in your business. In the ministry too, through your generous gifts, God will open new doors. In the year 2018, according to the vision that God has given, we will have the Gospel preached to around 25 million new people. For this, please pray that God will open new doors in the ministry to add souls into His fold. FEBRUARY, BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA! Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever. (Daniel 12:3) On the 20 th February 2008 the Lord according to His divine will, called Home my beloved father and your brother who was His own hearted apostle and hugged him to His bosom. He brought comfort and healing and through word of God brought hope into innumerable people. Obeying God, founding the Jesus Calls, Karunya ministry through tireless efforts and faithfulness, his demise sunk everyone into sorrow. God who plans everything even before the foundation of the world gave me a new era in the ministry, strengthened me through the Holy Spirit and enabled me to take the lead and continue the calling. In order to preserve the timeless classics of the truths preached by dad and to ensure that it is passed on to strengthen and build the faith of the future generations, we have embarked upon a massive 12

13 digitization Project. Thus far it is you who have been uploading this huge task by your generous gifts. Please continue to uphold these efforts by pouring on us your precious love and prayers and material support. In the year 1955, on 11 th February, my father accepted Jesus Christ and from 1955 to 2008 God used him tremendously and touched and transformed the lives of thousands of people. Your share in the ministry through your generous offerings and gifts will mean that you are also involved in leading the lost souls to the Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Sports for Special Children Let me win, but if I cannot, let me be brave in the attempt this is the motto of the Special Olympics. This is also the motto of the Special Games organised as part of the Karunya Evangeline Memorial Tournament (KEMT) in Karunya Institute of Technology & Sciences. SEESHA organises this annual event to promote inclusive development and also to give people an opportunity to see how talented people with special needs can be! In order words, this special event is an attempt to help people see them for their abilities rather than for their disabilities. This year, over 450 differently-abled children from 14 special schools across Coimbatore district participated in this event. Breaking down stereotypes, these children participated in a range of events despite their special conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, intellectually disabled, visually impaired, hearing impaired and locomotor disability. From Beneficiaries to Donors! nspired by the sel ess service of H and the donors who continuously support its work, child beneficiaries of H s hild Learning entres in Coimbatore decided to do what they can to give back! Through individual contributions as small as Rs. 5, these children pooled in whatever they could save from their meagre pocket allowances and contributed it to SEESHA. With this contribution, SEESHA has been able to provide 7 government schools in the district with educational essentials. We are truly proud to have become an inspiration to these children and use their contributions to help children like them have an enriching learning experience. To contribute to the Differently-abled project, donate online at The Joy of Empowerment A number of people from various walks of life have stepped into the year 2018 with gifts from SEESHA that will change their lives forever. At a special event organised by SEESHA in December 2017, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran (Founder SEESHA) distributed sewing machines empowering 12 women to set up their own income generation initiatives, retro fitment motor vehicles to five differently abled persons find mobility and self sufficiency, and financial as well as e uipment support for transwomen to pursue skill training and as part of entrepreneurial development to 3 transgender provided financial support and start up independent business as alternative livelihood. 15

16 The Lord said to Jeremiah that He has appointed him as a prophet to the nations, not just for Israel. God is calling you too for great things. Hence, when the Lord calls you for great things do not give excuses. Don t say that you are weak, shy and inexperienced and so you cannot go. We can never give excuses to God. God called Moses saying, 16

17 "...I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring My people the Israelites out of Egypt. (Exodus 3:10) But Moses gave so many excuses, O Lord, I have never been eloquent. I am slow of speech. Please send someone else (Exodus 4:10). The Lord was angry with his response and said, I am sending your brother Aaron and let him speak for you. You be the Lord for him and He will be the mouth piece. When the Lord chooses us, He does everything for us..we need not struggle over anything because the Lord says, Without Me you can do nothing (John 15:5). Today let us cry out to God saying, Lord, I commit myself and my family to serve you. Fill us with your Holy Spirit and the Lord will answer our prayers and use us as He used Moses. Then the LORD said, "I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the LORD, will do for you. (Exodus 34:10) OPEN YOUR HEART, GOD WILL FILL David said, Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you have planned for us no one can recount to you (Psalm 40:5). When God blesses us, His blessings will be such that there will not be room enough to hold them! Friend, even today, the Lord will pour out His blessing upon you. The Lord will crown the head of the righteous. Keep your heart open and open your mouth wide for Lord to fill it (Psalm 81:10). Keep your heart open for God to enter in and make your heart His abode. COME TO GOD JUST AS YOU ARE I was a shy and timid girl in the early days of my ministry but as I opened my mind and heart to God, allowing Him to fill me, He filled me with His Holy Spirit and turned me into a blessing for others. By nature, I am a soft spoken person. Therefore, when I started my ministry I would speak so softly that people were not able to hear my messages. I used to feel very sad about my weakness and prayed, Lord, enable me to speak louder so that people can hear my message and be blessed. One day a prophetess prayed over me and revealed my silent prayer which I had never even told my husband. She said Evangeline! You are praying to God to give you a louder voice to enable you to speak loudly but this is what the Lord says, even your whispers can bring miracles Evangeline; so be as you are. You are a soft spoken person but then people will come to you and say that your 17

18 very word touched their heart and the Lord did a miracle through you. You are a blessed person. And that is what exactly happened in my ministry. Many people came to me, especially women, and said, Sister you spoke just for me; I was full of fear but then the Lord delivered me today through your message. Yes, the Lord will use you also in a unique way; just be as you are and don t try to copy others. The Lord s grace is sufficient for you. In your weakness the Lord s strength will be perfected (2 Cor. 12:9). Be encouraged! I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. (John 9:4) One day my husband was praying over the prayer requests that were sent to him and the Lord showed him the above verse. He said, My son, the night is coming; so work hard. Always pray as a family. My return is coming very soon. Prepare the world for My coming. Today, the Lord is asking us also to prepare people to prophesy over the nations. You, who are reading this message, get up and go to serve the Lord! The Lord is sending you. You might be a weak, broken vessel but the Lord has chosen you knowing your brokenness. The Lord s call is for a high purpose - to serve the world. Dear friends we have no time to relax or rest. Here is Rachel Joseph, a student of first year MBA, Karunya deemed to be University testifying how God filled her in the Prophetic Prayer Conference held at Karunya. For the past few months, I had been constantly under the demonic oppression and I was in depression. I never used to like anything. Whenever I sat down to pray, I used to get negative thoughts and felt very discouraged. My parents are in the ministry and my father being a pastor always keeps praying for me. I wasn t completely sure about my future regarding my job and career. I was working prior to joining MBA. I felt I should quit MBA and go back to work. I was really confused. I developed severe migraine and because of this I had to skip classes and go home often. I got my CT scan done by the best doctors in my hometown but nothing worked for me. I was under deep depression when I attended the Prophetic Prayer Conference. I was sitting at the very last row. I just said, Lord, I don t even know why I am here but all I have to say is if You are here with me, I want to see Your hand in my life; I want to be filled with the Holy Spirit. When I felt broken, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran called out my 18

19 name. I was not sure about it as Rachel is a very common name. Next day, I was praying Lord, only if You had really called my name, I want to hear my name called once again. I want to be filled with Your Holy Spirit. Immediately Dr. Paul called out my name and said Rachel, you have been praying for the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. God is filling you right now. I felt the mighty power of God coming upon me and filling me completely. I was filled with joy which I have never experienced in my life. As I continued praying I could feel Jesus telling me, Rachel, Jesus loves you. I have not forsaken you. Truly I feel so blessed and encouraged. YOUR WEAKNESS WILL NOT STOP YOU Once when we were in New Zealand, a family invited us for dinner. One of them out of love and concern suggested, Dr. Paul you are working so hard, you need some rest. Probably you should have only one meeting per month. But we have no time to rest. We have to be on the move to prepare the world for His second coming. My husband says, Let anything happen to me or my family, but let us not stop running for the Lord. In spite of his weaknesses in the body, he says, I am here Lord, use me and with the strength of the Lord, he stands before the people. When he completes his preaching all his weakness and pain are gone! We then wonder at how the Lord honours His children! Dear reader, are you weak, and burdened? Come to Jesus as you are. Don t be confused looking at the circumstances around you. Fear not, for He will carry you through your life s journey, no matter what the burdens may be - be it health, finances, broken relationships, job situations, bereavement, loneliness, shame or uncertainties in life. Romans 8:37 says, Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. In John 16:33 Jesus says, In the world you will have tribulations; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. The Lord who has chosen you and anointed you will never let you down. He will fulfil His purposes in your life. 19

22 Question: How to live holy in this world according to the Scripture verse, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts (Romans 13:14)? Answer: Putting on the Lord Jesus Christ is a holy life which is pleasing to God. We read in the Bible the Lord God saying, You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy (Leviticus 11:45; 19:2; 20:26; I Peter 1:16). God says, I am God the Holy One in your midst (Hosea 11:9). We also read in the Bible, the Seraphim saying to each other Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory! (Isaiah 6:3). Thus, God the Father, who has created the whole universe, is a living God forever and is perfectly holy. The Lord Jesus too says, Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 43:14). Also, don t we read in Hebrews 7:26, For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens? Thus, when both the Father and the Son are examples to us, as we saw in the above verses, wouldn t He surely help us to 22 live a holy life in this world? Doesn t He call us, the elect of God, holy and beloved? (Colossians 3;12). As said in Colossians 3:2, it is very essential that we seek and enjoy the glorious divine life of setting our mind on things above, and not on things on the earth. The coming of the Lord is very near. As we read in the Bible, today we see lot of things happening in this earth. Hence, first of all we need to realize how important it is to live a holy life like the Lord. We need to have a godly fear in us to be away from the filth of this world. Look at the life of David. He was indeed a zealous prayer warrior. He was a faithful man, who prayed early in the morning, on his bed at night and in the evenings and noon. Yet, only one time, he went to walk on the roof of his house at the time when he used to pray (II Samuel 12:2). That time his eyes lusted after a woman and - STELLA DHINAKARAN he fell in sin. The child which was born of sin, died as per God s will. David fasted and prayed hard. However, because of his sin, the Lord did not hear his prayer. Yes, he audaciously gave up his eyes to lust instead of giving that time to the Lord. Hence, to avoid such things happening in your life, do not easily give room for eshly lusts in your life but put on the Lord Jesus Christ with reverence. As the foundation for a holy life, we need to get united with the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy One. I and My Father are one. (John 10:30) - The Lord Jesus Christ has said this as an example for us. Likewise, Christ has to join in you and interact with you. This is the experience of salvation. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. (II Corinthians 5:17)

23 My dear ones, this is how the Lord would change your life too. Receive the divine experience of saying, My Lord Jesus and I are one. Confess all your shortcomings whether big or small to the Lord. Let go of them in all reverence, according to I John 1:9. Do only the things that please Jesus. With godly fear, fulfil His will, every day. Then the Lord would help you to live a successful and holy life. Read diligently every word written here. Also read the Word of the Lord, confess your shortcomings, receive the Holy Spirit and put on Jesus Christ. Then He will grant you the divine grace to live a holy life, just as how Jesus lived. And those who are Christ s have crucified the esh with its passions and desires. (Galatians 5:24) ENRICHED THE WEARY SOUL The Esther Prayer Group formed by divine vision is a blessed prayer group that has been preordained by God. Plenty of prayer requests are being offered through this Esther Prayer Group. The Lord too is answering them at the due time. The tears of many are wiped off; sicknesses are healed; needs are met. By His grace, mercy and favour, the Lord is doing many miracles in each and every Esther Prayer Group. May He richly bless these Esther Prayer Groups in the coming days and exalt them more and more! For the past several days, we have been praying and inviting many to join the Couples Esther Prayer Group prayer in our house. Finally 6 couples agreed to come. On October 18th, my husband and I were waiting from 5 PM and were praying and singing songs. Nobody turned up even when it was 6 PM. I became dejected and concluded that nobody would come. In the next 5 minutes, 3 couples came all of a sudden. I was happy that the Lord had done a miracle. I thanked God and He helped me to conduct the prayer. The promise verse was also apt for me. The Lord satiated and replenished our souls even as we were weary. Glory to God! - Rev. Joyce Solomon, Pollachi. A PRAYER CALL FOR COUPLES WHO LOVE JESUS CHRIST The Lord has led us to form COUPLES ESTHER PRAYER GROUP (CEPG) in which couples of any age group, who walk in the fear of God, can pray together for other couples who are desperately in need of our prayers due to various problems in their lives. You and your spouse can offer this intercessory prayer right from your home.

26 If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honour. (John 12:26) The gift of the Word of Knowledge is one of the most powerful gifts of the Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 12:8). Anyone who is blessed with this gift will be empowered to understand all biblical mysteries (Proverbs 28:5). This gift is described below:...the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. (Isaiah 11:2) The fear of God goes hand in hand with this gift. This gift enables us to understand every mystery behind the acts of God and also the Scriptures. For example, Apostle Paul was not anywhere near our Lord Jesus when He sojourned on the face of this earth. However, when he Late Bro. D. G. S. was called for God s ministry by the Lord later (as described in Acts Dhinakaran had 9:1 16), it pleased the Lord to re-enact before him, important compiled his heavenly / episodes in His life that the Lord felt Paul should know. supernatural experiences One such episode is the Passover which He observed in the book. An Insight on the night in which He was betrayed. Paul into Heaven and published describes that experience as it. In this issue we wish to observed by share one chapter from the book to inspire you to desire such glorious experiences. THE TOUCH OF COMFORT 26

27 him (ICorinthians 11:23-25). He emphasises this again saying, For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ (Galatians 1:12). There were times when it pleased the Lord to take me to the very place in Heaven where the Old Testament and New Testament saints are. It was on such occasions that I would be allowed to put my doubts across to them about their life and ministry which were difficult for me to understand. The Scripture, 2 Chronicles 21:12 has always been a mystery for me to understand. The reason is this. Prophet Elijah was taken away to Heaven in flesh and blood in a chariot of fire (II Kings 2:11). However, how would several years later an evil king by the name Jehoram of Judah receive an epistle written by Prophet Elijah admonishing him for his perverse administration, which was far from the statutes of the great Jehovah. Of course, whatever he had written in that epistle concerning the future of that king happened exactly as written in that epistle. One day, when God gave me an opportunity to meet Prophet Elijah, I asked him to clarify this mystery. This is what he told me, When I was ministering on earth as the prophet of God, I stood before God all the time (I Kings 17:1). Now, also, I stand before Him in Heaven (Zachariah 4:11, 14; Revelation 11:4). Moses and the other prophets are also in Heaven before His presence. But there is one major difference. Moses and the other prophets in Heaven are in Spirit. Hence, they are not in any way anxious or concerned about the happenings in the world. As far as I am concerned, I am still in the flesh. So, I am certainly concerned about the things that happen in Heaven, as well as the events in the world. So, I was really inflamed and grieved in my spirit because of the evil ways of King Jehoram at that time. The Lord wanted me to reprove him. Yes, it was I who wrote that epistle and sent it to him. With this, my confusion about this epistle was cleared. Once, I was brooding over the experience of Prophet Jonah in the belly of a big fish for three days as reported in the Book of Jonah, as well as quoted by our precious Lord in Matthew 12:40. Several days later, during my time of prayer, I heard the voice of God saying, Come here. The Lord introduced me to a person of short stature and said, This is Jonah and you can put forth your question to him. I was indeed surprised at the personality of this man as he looked very simple. Sure enough, I put the question to him, Sir, how did you feel when you were in the belly of a big fish while you were in this world? He smiled and said, It was a very agonizing experience. The digestive acid in the belly of the fish would surround me from all sides. I would be submerged in that. The acid would try to digest me, my whole body will burn and I would scream at the top of my voice for God to help me to come out of this onslaught. He continued, Then, most astonishingly, the grace of God would come from another direction and surround me to redeem me from the power of that digestive acid. The grace of God would envelop me as an invisible fluid comforting and consoling, and with that the burning sensation would stop. I would be greatly relieved of that agony and heave a sigh of great relief! However, after some time the whole scenario of crying out in agony would be repeated and again the grace of God would come forth to help me. Indeed, the Bible says that while Jonah was in the belly of that great fish for three days and three nights he cried unto the Lord for His mercy and grace (Jonah 2:8), and God s grace did surround him and protect him. Yes, The gift of the Word of Knowledge does help to traverse to this wonderful place in Heaven where people who had lived and served the Lord are kept in the consoling 27

28 presence of the Lord. A PLACE OF COMFORT There were occasions when the Lord enabled me to have some time with Sadhu Sundar Singh, the great and acclaimed Saint of India. The divine joy that was reflected on his face is beyond any description. Yet, no one can even presume that when he was in this world, he had suffered so much for the Lord. All the time a natural smile and joy was reflected on his face. The following Scripture verses gives a glimpse of the Third Heaven: It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord: I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago-whether in the body... I do not know, God knows-how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. (II Corinthians 12:1-4) The glory that fills this place can never be put in words. Only those who had the privilege and experience of walking with God in this world can withstand and enjoy His glorious presence in the Third Heaven. The Bible says, Enoch and Noah walked with God (Genesis 5:24, 6:9). Abraham was a Friend of God (II Chronicles 20:7; Isaiah 41:8; James 2:23) and hence walked with Him. God was a Friend of Moses and talked to him face to face (Exodus 33:11; Numbers 28 12:8). Apostle Paul was so close to God that he would be transported back and forth to Heaven at God s will and pleasure (II Corinthians 12:1-4; Galatians 2:20). John was a bosom friend of the Lord in like manner (John 13:23, 19:26, 20:2, 21:7, 20). The Lord Jesus also has very specifically demanded from His Father that this privilege of being with Him should be given to those who walked with Him, according to the Scripture below: Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. (John 17:24) Hence, only those who have had a burning desire to be with Him at all times and have practised the presence of Christ in this world would be made comfortable in the Third Heaven. THE HEAVENLY COUNCIL Daniel 7:10 and Revelation 20:4 speak of the Heavenly Council that God has instituted in Heaven. And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them.... (Revelation 20:4) The Lord Jesus Christ could be seen having deliberations with the Old Testament and New Testament saints about His intentions concerning the future events in the world, at His will and pleasure. While I was still with the Lord in the Third Heaven, Elijah asked the Lord a direct question, Lord, has the time come for me to go back to the world? Enoch too put forth a similar query. The Lord immediately said to both of them, No, not yet, wait. As in Revelation 11:4, both Elijah and Enoch are to come back to the world to die as martyrs at the appointed time (Revelation 11:7, 8). God can comfort anyone and everyone under any circumstances. (Psalm 94:19). Further, the Holy Spirit is described as the Comforter and is introduced so in the following verses: And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever; the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. (John 14:16,17) The great Holy Spirit follows us to Heaven also with His Holy comfort if we have suffered for Him in this world. So be of good cheer. God is our comfort both in this world as well as in Heaven if we live for Him and serve Him (Colossians 1:24).

29 Come to Pray in T ISRAEL he Holy Spirit spoke to me to establish a Prayer Tower in Israel, to pray for God s plan upon each nation and its peoples, for it to be prepared for His second coming. According to Revelation 10:7 and 11, prayer has to be offered for the kings chosen by God to be in place, the gospel to be preached is each nation with prophetic accuracy and solutions for the problems of each nation to be revealed. 29 Each country will eventually be blessed, as the person from that country comes and prays here at Israel Prayer Tower. When the prayer intercessors go back to their country after praying for a brief period at the Israel Prayer Tower in Jerusalem, God would give them His prophetic authority to anoint kings and bring signs & wonders and also enable them to enjoy the prophetic blessing in their own life. -Dr. Paul Dhinakaran.
