2 Dr. Paul Dhinakaran, Mrs. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran and Mrs. Stella Dhinakaran, flew to Israel on May 20 th for the first ever historic Jesus Calls World Prayer Convention in Jerusalem, held from May 22-24, The glorious location for the Convention was the promised land flowing with milk and honey, where Jesus lived His earthly life. The delegates began arriving in Jerusalem on May 21 st from different parts of the world, including a huge contingent from India. We had a kaleidoscope of participants from the US, UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Israel and India, numbering 1100 for the Convention and the Tour. 2 As the opening day dawned, there was great excitement in Jerusalem and many delegates were at the venue early in the morning with much anticipation. The Convention opened with Dr. Paul Dhinakaran welcoming the gathering and sharing with them the theme of the Convention. After this, Mr. Samuel Smadja, Pastor of The Messianic Fellowship & Founder of Sar El Tours, formally declared the Convention open. The speakers for the Convention were Statesmen drawn from various countries who were also strong Christian leaders, speaking with wisdom, counsel and grace. The delegates were tremendously blessed by each one of them. Amongst others, we had Mr. Calev Meyers, Senior Partner at Yehuda Raveh & Co. Law Offices (one of Israel's largest law firms); Pastor. Reuven Berger, The Congregation of The Lamb on Mount Zion;

3 Pastor Edwin Govendar, Senior Pastor of Faith Revival Church, Durban; Mr. Rick Ridings, Succat Hallel, House of Prayer, and more. Dr. Paul Dhinakaran s daily sessions were very powerful with exhortation, prophecy and healing gifts of the Spirit in operation. The Lord often revealed to him the names of people present there with illnesses and healed them. Mrs. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran ministered on the need for a close communion with God and Mrs. Stella Dhinakaran spoke on the power of prayer for families. Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and Mrs. Evangeline Paul prayed individually for every single delegate at the end of the first and second day, laying their hands and prophesying over them as the Lord revealed to them through the Holy Spirit. We had the unique privilege of having Pastor Benny Hinn minister with us on the second and the final day. The Holy Spirit moved powerfully in our midst during his teaching and healing sessions. Finally, we celebrated God s goodness and faithfulness in the life of our dear Aunty Stella Dhinakaran as she reached a milestone on her eightieth birthday on May 24 th. It was a time of great rejoicing indeed! The curtains came down on this historic event on May 24 th with Dr. Paul prophetically pronouncing God s richest blessing upon people, families, kings and nations of every language and tribe. The World Prayer Convention was truly a refreshing season for every participant at the feet of the Lord. The Lord blessed it and gave it as a delightful gift to us all.

6 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. (Hebrews 12:1) This verse tells us to cast away all our burdens and sins that hinder us from running towards Jesus. In John chapter 20, after Jesus was crucified, dead and buried, Peter and John, the disciples of Jesus, ran together to the tomb on hearing the news that the body of Jesus was taken away. We see that the other disciple reached the tomb first before Peter. GET UP - RUN TOGETHER! Today, many are not able to run together; a few lag behind while some run ahead. But today, we have been called to run together. We have to throw off our worries, fears, unbelief, difficulties, sorrows, anger, irritation and disappointments in order to run together. Only then you can run with your eyes fixed on Jesus. That is why the Lord says All of us will run together. When people run a race, there is always a starting line and a finishing line. However, in our spiritual run, the Lord s children do not have a finishing line in this world. They have to keep running till they finish their race in Heaven. On the day you stop running, the devil will meet you. The Lord says, If you want to be with me, you have to look at me and run. We read in Haggai 2:6-10, 6... In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,... in this place I will grant peace, declares the Lord Almighty.

7 Only if you shake the nation, the desired one of all the nations will come. Only after that, gold, silver, glory and peace shall come. The Lord will give us such grace in the days to come. At the beginning of this year, the Lord said to me, In the days to come, I am going to make everything ready for my secret coming. I am going to make all things new. Tell everybody to be prepared with reverence for my secret coming. Tell how my secret coming is going to be. We do not know when the Lord will come but the preparations are going to begin. Only after the secret coming, will the gold, silver and peace come to the nation. Only then everyone can say, There is peace. Then the antichrist shall come and everyone will be overjoyed to see the mighty miracles he performs and all will say, This is God, this is God! As we read in Romans chapter 1, man shall take the appearance of animals and birds. One of the new features of the iphone10 has a lot of animal faces. You can enter your name and select an animal, and when you open it you will see the animal s face. At present, it shows your face resembling a doll but with the advancement of technology, man will take the form of animals and birds. These are the things which are going to happen after the secret coming. Since they do not confess our Lord as King of kings, the Lord submits them to harm and impurity. Then the second coming shall happen. For now, we have to be prepared with reverence for His secret coming. The Lord says, Don t stop your run because when the Lord shakes the world, surely the Lord s children will also be shaken. Whatever harm shakes the world, the same will shake the Lord s children. To be free from this, the only way is to get up and fix your eyes on the face of Jesus and run; we should be careful not to sit, hide or have fear. We see how Paul and Silas ran in Acts chapter 16. As they were going to their usual place of prayer, they met a slave girl who had a spirit that predicted the future and through this act of foretelling, she earned a great deal of money for her owners. On seeing this spirit, Paul was so troubled that he turned around and said to the spirit, In the name of Jesus Christ, I command you to come out of her (Acts 16:16, 18). When the owners of the slave girl realised that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them to the market place to face the authorities. They said, these men are Jews, and are throwing our city into an uproar by advocating customs unlawful for Romans to accept or practice. The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten. After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into the prison and the jailor was commanded to guard them carefully. The jailor put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks (Acts 16:19-24). Did Paul and Silas stop their run for Jesus? Definitely not! Instead Paul and Silas said, You tied our legs, but did not tie our hands and our mouth; we will run for the Lord with our hands and mouth and continued to run for Jesus. About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God while other fellow prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly, there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once, all the prison doors flew open and everybody s chains came loose (Acts 16: 25-26). Paul and Silas, their legs were tied, no clothes on, no respect and no glory but they kept on running looking at the face of Jesus. For this reason, the prison s foundations were shaken, doors opened and the chains loosened. Everyone was freed. 7

8 What happened as a result? The jailor asked, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? The jailor did not know Jesus prior nor did he hear about the concept of salvation. He did not hear the gospel nor did he hear any sermon. But it was the Lord who gave him the enlightenment about salvation. When he asked, What should I do to be saved? a great gospel was revealed, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved - you and your household (Acts 16:30,31). The whole family was saved. The jailor s family stood as a testimony. Even you could be in such a situation. If you want to be saved, there is only one way. Praise Jesus in all situations. Run towards Jesus! Then the bondages of people shall be broken; people who are holding you back will be saved and all of them will be transformed to tell the gospel. In 1986, my father was distressed due to my younger sister, Angel s death. He was in a situation where his hands were fractured and plastered. He said, How will I tell about Jesus henceforth? Who will listen to my sermon? In agony, even when he did not experience the presence of God, he used to pray constantly. He did not know what to pray for. The Holy Spirit is given to us to help us during our weakness (Romans 8:26). When we are in a situation of imprisonment, only the Holy Spirit is mighty to revive us. This Holy Spirit rose from within him. Then Jesus appeared. Jesus said, I have brought a person along with me and he saw Angel standing next to Him. The Holy Spirit THE ONE WHO IS RIGHTEOUS SHALL KEEP RUNNING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS. TO WIN OVER THE DEVIL through Angel said, Why are you worried father? Are you thinking Jesus has left you? You have to get up and do the ministry of Jesus even in this situation. Tell that Jesus is good. At that time my father cried and said, I do not have strength in my spirit dear, I feel tired. Then through Angel the Holy Spirit said, Father, the Lord did not take away your gifts. Those gifts are within you. Though your hands and heart are broken, though you are in a horrible situation and people are making fun of you, the Lord has not taken away His gifts from you. Stand up father, open your mouth and tell about Jesus. Then those gifts within you shall shine in various ways. It will bring a light to the people. It was the Holy Spirit who spoke through her. At that time, we went to conduct a meeting at a place called Erode. My father came to the meeting with his hands plastered and my mother s forehead was fractured and plastered too. Even at that time, when my father stood up in the midst of agony, the Holy Spirit had compassion on the people. Firstly, he called out the name of a little girl. The girl came running to the stage immediately. She said, Uncle, you called my name and told my exact situation. My father was very happy and said, The Lord did not forsake me, He is with me, He is within me. Compassionately, he said, Though my daughter Angel is gone, I would continue to live for these angels and should carry these angels. He was consoled in this manner and continued to tell the word of the Lord to millions. He ran until his last day. 8

9 In the end, during the year 2008, my father was in coma, kept at the ICU of the hospital. As I sat beside him, I took off his oxygen mask and called him, Father, Father as his eyes were closed and unconscious. At that moment, it was like the Holy Spirit spoke through him. He said, I have lived a clean life before God and men. My hands are clean. My heart is clean. I can stand before any man in this world and tell that my heart is clean. Not only before God but also before men, I shall stand and tell that my hands are clean. When I close my eyes in this world, the very next moment I will open my eyes in Heaven. I will be able to tell before God that I have lived a clean life. If we live a clean life in this world that is enough and saying so he stopped and went to heaven. The Lord graciously helped him run till the end of his life. Today, He will lift you also. Keep running. RUN IN THE MIDST OF TRIBULATIONS Next, we should run in the midst of tribulations. Stop telling that the devil has closed doors, given tribulations, black magic and evil has come, instead run towards Jesus. The Lord says, to push this devil down there is only one way, even in the midst of these tribulations you must keep on running (Acts 14:22). Where is the devil sitting? Not in hell but he is sitting in Heaven. He sits there and finds fault with every brother and sister. The devil does not come against us directly. He comes stealthily as he entered Judas. A man s enemies will be members of his own household (Matthew 10:36). He comes through them. He always tries to kill our soul and spirit by complaining about us. If someone is finding fault with you, do not get angry and pray, Lord, destroy them. How shall you overcome him? Run faster than him. Until his time here, the devil will keep doing his work. Until the Lord comes and pushes him to hell he is going to be here. But the Lord will prevent him from touching you, prevent you from seeing him and make you run faster than him. There is only one way; through the blood of the Lamb of God and through the word of witness alone you can defeat him. Revelation 22:11, 12 says, Let the one who does wrong, continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right, continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy... The one who is holy shall continue running faster in holiness. The one who is righteous shall keep running faster in righteousness. This is the only way. To win over the devil, there are only two ways, firstly, to live a life testifying God. Secondly, the word of witness! Both should be in us. When people look at us they should see Jesus. When the devil sees us, he should see Jesus. According to his reflection we should be transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory. Then the worldly spirit shall go and we shall bear the likeness of Jesus (2 Corinthians 3:18). We should announce the miracles Jesus did as a testimony. It is the only way through which we can overcome the devil. This is the testimony of the Lord. Similarly we should prepare to fight through the word of God and continue running. Then Satan shall fall like lightening (Luke 10:18). When the testimony of Jesus is in our spirit, holiness and the gift of prophesy shall grow and consequently, Satan will fall to the ground. Let us run the race successfully with this testimony and fight the good fight of faith!... To continue in the next issue 9

12 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. Isaiah 43:2 Jesus is going to teach us how to walk on water today. He will walk with us so that none of the rivers or raging waters in our life will subdue us. When I went ice-skating for the first time, I saw many people skating like breeze in the large ice ring. That was a beautiful sight and I wanted to try it out. As I donned on my skates, I also noticed that some were falling down and hurting themselves. I wondered how badly hurt I would be if I fell down. Slowly, fear got the better of me turning me nervous! So, I went one step at a time holding on to the corners and ended up walking on the ice! But my friend who came with me fell down at least 50 times. However, he skated beautifully within half an hour. We can never learn if we are afraid to fall. My friend, today we are going to learn that we should not worry when we fall down. Actually, falling is a necessary step to learn how to walk on water. Jesus taught Peter how to walk on water (Matthew 14 th Chapter). Let us meditate on that. He taught Peter three steps, and these are the three steps of faith. EMOTIONAL FAITH This is the faith we get when we first feel God s presence. For example, when you first begin reading the Bible or when you see a miracle, you feel a rush of excitement surging in your heart; that is emotional faith. When Jesus called Peter, he experienced emotional faith. He saw Jesus performing miracles from his boat and got so excited leading to his faith and belief in his heart. He was thrilled when Jesus said Peter, Stop everything and follow me. He followed Jesus. It is good to have this emotional faith. It s not bad. This is the first step. But remember, it s only the beginning of our journey. 12

13 I met a girl from Brazil who spoke to me about several things, and she said, I looked up India and saw preachers preaching there. It is so exciting to see so many people coming to listen and many mighty miracles happening there. I can t wait to do the same. I also want to preach to large crowds and want to see the miracles of God, this is my goal. It s good to have such an emotional faith. While it is good to have such a passion, I also had to talk to her and expound the reality of ministry. So, I explained to her about how the first generation of ministry went through fire, how they struggled to receive this grace from God. It is not easy to build a ministry without going through fiery situations. When I told her she said, I ll think about it and pray. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. (Romans 10:2) Paul says, the Israelites were so zealous to do something for God, but they had not received the righteousness of God yet. To illustrate, being zealous and having faith without receiving righteousness is like having only the icing without the cake. I read a post on Facebook. There was a preacher in Nigeria and he proclaimed himself to be a prophet and said, Look at me, I am going to carry this Bible and go and pray in the lions cage in the zoo. When I do that, like Daniel, the lions will not touch me. He wanted to show that he had great faith, but alas, the man never came out! The lion had devoured him. It s so dangerous to practice with this emotional faith. You have to wait till it matures. For they are being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. (Romans 10:3) We have to wait to submit to God s righteousness before acting on this faith. Even though we put our faith in Jesus, we have to wait for God s righteousness and not act on our own righteousness. Be careful not to be controlled by your sinful nature (Romans 8:9).You have to be controlled by God s Spirit, and that leads to maturity. He brings God s righteousness to us. Today, let us ask the Lord to control us by His Spirit and He will pour His Spirit upon you and lead you through His Spirit. DEEPER FAITH Rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. (Colossians 2:7) Let your roots grow around Jesus and let your lives be built on Him. As the roots grow deeper, you start building your lives on Jesus. The first thing that happens to us when we receive emotional faith are the troubles, problems and fear that shake us because we don t have strong roots. They try to shake away the emotional faith we have in Jesus. That s why we often see troubles and temptations trying to test us and we look at the circumstance around us and we cry out, What is happening? I thought I had faith in Jesus and trusted Him but why are troubles coming to me? and then we start drowning and we start to lose emotional faith. We see in the movies when people climb up the mountain, the guide always says, Whatever you do, don t look down. But what do they do? They 13

14 look down and they tremble with fear, knowing, that if they fall, not a bone will be spared! This is the same mistake that Peter made, with great emotional faith, seeing Jesus walking on the water he also jumped into the water and started walking towards Jesus, looking directly into Jesus face. But the moment he took his eyes off Jesus and started looking around at the storm, the boisterous waves shook his emotional faith and he began to sink. When troubles come, and we have just emotional faith, we get perturbed wondering how we can handle the problem be it financial, emotional or study/work related issues. It is because our lives are not built on Jesus completely and our roots are not deep enough to learn to rely on Jesus. Then we cry, Jesus, where are you? Help me, Lord! My strength is gone. Don t worry my friends, this is the normal process. He makes us go through it, to help us see that there is a difference between our strength and the strength of the Creator. He listens to our cry and responds, I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you (NIV). King James Version says, I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you. He then begins to deepen our faith in Him. When my sister and I were young, our dad wanted to teach us swimming. He took us to a deep swimming pool. Without wasting any time, he threw us both in deep water! We were panicking, and I was panting for breath and cried Dad, save me! He directed us to flap our way up, and we did, and we began coming up the water! Yes, we learnt it the hard way! In the same way, the Lord puts us in deep waters, and we flap and struggle and finally cry out to Him and He reaches out His hand and gently lifts us up as He did with Peter. Try to do it with your own strength and see what happens, it will disappoint you. But when we rely on His strength, He teaches us patiently and it is amazing to see what He does. JESUS, YOU ARE MY ONLY SOURCE OF STRENGTH Take a look at Jonah and see what happened to him. When he was thrown into the sea, He sank deep into the water (Jonah 1st chapter) and God sent a fish to swallow him. God graciously gave my grandfather a vision in which he met Jonah in heaven and Jonah told him, you know when I was in the belly of the fish, the digestive juices would come from all sides and crush me to digest me but in the midst of it, I saw the grace of God covering me. It covered me and protected me from getting digested. Even though God sent me into the fish, He protected me with His grace so that nothing could touch me. I learnt of the power of His grace that day. Are you crying out to the Lord saying, Why are you allowing these troubles, Lord? When I desire to trust in you, why have you allowed 14

15 these temptations?. He will not allow you to be shattered. He will send His grace to cover us and to protect us in this process just as Jonah heard the voice of God in that belly. This grace comes and protects you and isolates you from the world. It doesn t allow the voice of the devil to reach you. It makes you listen to the voice of God instead. Our eyes turn to Jesus, we listen to him and God helps us to see this very clearly even when under the water. He gives us a nice pair of goggles and those goggles are none other than the Holy Spirit. "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. (John 16:13) The Holy Spirit reveals God s plan to us. He reveals God purpose in our life. He helps us clearly when under the water. Otherwise, we will never listen to the voice of God. We will be rushing to our work all the time; rushing to preach without God; rushing to love and enjoy the family without God; without hearing His plan; without having any roots. That s why He gives us this special time to sit and listen to Him first. When all of our strength is gone we say, Jesus, you are my only source of strength, and we then find a deeper faith in Jesus. And as faith deepens, Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit credits His righteousness to us. What is it to be righteous? It is to do the will of God. It s simple. It is the Holy Spirit who gives us this grace in our under water situations. He reveals God s plans for us and helps us do it. This is how our faith becomes deepened and rooted in Jesus when He teaches us to trust in His strength and grace and hear His voice in tough situations in life. FAITH IN ACTION This is the final step in the completion of the course. Knowing the plans of God, believing in those plans, and accomplishing them are evidence of faith in action. God will help us to make the right choices, right decisions regarding our future for our studies, career, life partner, etc. When it comes to family problems, be it with your spouse or children, He will give us the right solutions. God will speak to you concerning your loved ones. His Holy Spirit will reveal the mind of God and put in place the plan of action in your home, in your business and in your ministry. You will see an explosion of God s power! You will not only be blessed but will also be a blessing to others. Faith in action is not only about receiving strength from God to get blessings in your life but it s about bringing it to people in your spheres of influence. Peter stood before the church officials and God gave him the ability of boldness, wisdom and courage (Acts 4:8-13). He was able to lead the disciples; God gave him the power to do mighty miracles like raising the crippled man. This is what will happen when you walk with Jesus on the water. Fears and doubts will vanish. A deeper connection is formed with Jesus and we receive the grace and power to do mighty things for God. He makes us His signet ring. To paraphrase, let s be zealous and righteous before God, have a deep faith in Jesus and give our heart fully to Him and enjoy His grace and power to do unimaginable things for Him as per His plans and purpose for us. 15

On 27 th May 2018, my mother, my wife and I prayed for all partners on the rock where Jesus shed His blood in the Garden of Gethsemane; the place He prayed before He became a sacrifice for the whole world. We cried and prayed for the Lord s will to be fulfilled in your life. We also prayed for you and your loved ones at Mount Tabor where Jesus was transformed and at the Sea of Galilee. The Holy Spirit gave us divine visions there. He rose within us and we cried out in our spirit, praying for you. Therefore, you will receive goodness in your life. You should believe in the spiritual blessings and the life-changing moments that are going to happen in your life. When you read these words, you will receive miracles. Therefore, say in faith, Lord, I receive the increase you give me through your grace. I receive your blessings, healing of any illness, your deliverance, and your divine love for me and my family. Declare it with belief and thank the Lord. Even now...i will restore twice as much to you... (Zechariah 9:12) According to this verse, the Lord will restore everything in double measure. You shall see the miracles of the Lord. We will continue to pray for you as a family along with our prayer intercessors. We believe that you will write to us about the miracle you received from the Lord. My friend, continue to pray for us and Jesus Calls ministries.

20 The Young Partners Plan (YPP) is one of the excellent God-given plans of the Jesus Calls ministry. This plan was instituted on the 25 th July 1985 with the sole purpose of reaching out to young people all over the world covering them with prayers (24x7) for their Wisdom, Protection & Prosperity. Yes! The Lord has promised that these dear young partners will receive a divine protection from the evils of this world (John 17:15), wisdom to shine in their studies (Isaiah 54:13) and prosperity to enable them to flourish in their life (Psalm 115:14). For the past 33 years, the Dhinakaran family and the prayer intercessors at the Prayer Tower have been praying every day for our precious young partners. Thanks be to God, who hears these prayers and bless the Young Partners in 20 special ways. We receive many testimonies on how God has been faithful in the Young Partner s lives. Let us read one such testimony. Alisha from Maharashtra says, I am from Nagpur and I was very weak in my studies during my childhood. During that time my parents enrolled me in YPP. After this, I gained an interest in my studies and I was able to easily grasp and memorize my subjects. Due to this, I started excelling in my studies and I understood that there were people praying for me daily. As my 10th Board exams were coming up, I wrote a letter to Dr. Paul Dhinakaran requesting him to pray for me. I received a response from him that encouraged me and assured me that God will bless me to get good marks. To my surprise, I scored 98% and I was a topper in the 10th Std. among my whole minority community. I give all glory to God for my success. Isn't this a beautiful testimony? You too can benefit like Alisha by becoming a Young Partner. It's open for everyone.

22 Premila, a staff nurse working in a hospital was having a blood issue for some time. She was getting weaker and weaker, failing to go to work regularly. She rang up the Prayer Tower for prayers. In desperation and with much burden, she also visited the Prayer Tower directly and a prayer intercessor prayed with her. After 2 days, she called up and testified that her bleeding has stopped. All Glory to God! Vishal Reddy was bound by the devil and was brought to the Prayer Tower for deliverance. The devil did not want to leave her but our united prayer brought deliverance for her. She believed that Jesus came to free those who are bound by the devil in all aspects which includes spiritual, physical and mental health. The verse, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13) came true. Now she is our regular Esther Prayer Group member. What a mighty God we serve! Nilendra Sharma, a young man in his 20 s came for the first time to the Prayer Tower for prayer. He was feeling pain and weakness in his body. We prayed for him and in a week s time he came back with a testimony that the pain was gone. Glory to Jesus!

24 I will show them wonders (Micah 7:15). The God of Gods, who created the universe, gives us this wonderful promise! if you would believe you would see the glory of God? (John 11:40) He, who said these, is eagerly waiting to do wonders in our lives! With faith, we need to hold on to the Lord who does wonders, telling, He who promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23) and that He will do it (I Thessalonians 5:24). WHO IS THE LORD, WHO DOES WONDERS? You are the God who does wonders; You have declared Your strength among the people (Psalm 77:14) He does great things too marvelous to understand. He performs countless miracles. (Job 9:10). In the Old Testament, we read that the wonderful Lord enabled Abraham s wife Sarah to beget a child miraculously, even after she passed the age of childbearing (Genesis 18:11; 21:1,2). Likewise, the Angel of God called Hagar, who was wandering in the wilderness in a hopeless situation, crying loudly saying, "Let me not see the death of the boy" and said to her, "What ails you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up the lad and hold him with your hand, for I will make him a great nation (Genesis 21:16-18). He accomplished it accordingly. Similarly, in the New Testament, the Lord did a miracle in the life of the aged couple Zechariah and Elizabeth who had no child and made her beget a son (Luke 1:7,13,57). 24

25 The Canaanite woman, who was in tears because of her demon-possessed daughter, worshipped Jesus saying, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed" and the Lord Jesus of miracles replied to her saying"o woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire (Matthew 15:22-28; Mark 7:25-30). Don t we read in the Bible, "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh, is there anything too hard for Me? (Jeremiah 32:27). Everything is possible for Him. He does wonders. Look up to Him with faith whatever your problems, sufferings, losses and tears are. The Lord who does wonders would answer your pleas. He will reveal His wonder in your life too. HE WILL MAKE US SEE WONDERS IN THE DEEP They see the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep. (Psalm 107:24) If you rightfully hold on to the Lord, who does wonders, in the darkness or on the face of the deep, He would make you also see wonders in the depth of your life. Dear ones, today, there are many of you who lament saying, Oh, I don t have money; I don t have a child; there is no joy or peace in the family; I do get plenty of money but I don t know where it goes... and so on? Do not be troubled! the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart. (I Samuel 16:7) He searches the heart; He tests the mind (Jeremiah 17:10). He saw the depth of Peter s empty heart. Deciding to make him thrilled, He showed him His wonder in the depth and made him catch an amazing number of fish (Luke 5:6-9).He did a wonder for him and surprised him; He turned him into the one who catches men (Luke 5:10,11). HOW DID JESUS CHANGE PETER, WHO WAS CATCHING FISH, INTO THE ONE WHO CATCHES MEN? He was filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-14). After that, he who was illiterate was filled with the faith of the Lord and spoke boldly. That day, nearly three thousand who accepted the Lord s words joyously were saved. Next, when he went into the temple of God, he said to the lame man, In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk and took him by the right hand and lifted him up. Immediately he leapt up and walked (Acts 3:1-8). My dear ones, it is not you who would testify but the Holy Spirit in you would speak through you. We have come to the last days. Commit your heart and tongue to the Lord. Speak about the Lord. Do something for the Lord. (Ecclesiastes 9:10). Ask for the Holy Spirit with thirst and receive Him. He would change you into a powerful sword and use you. DECLARE HIS WONDERS Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples (I Chronicles 16:24; Psalm 77:11, 78:4; 96:3). Yes, we need to declare the wonders of the Lord. 25

26 out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Matthew 12:34). In the 4th chapter of John, we read about the Samaritan woman. When she comes to the Lord, she is a woman sunk in sin. As she hears the Lord s words, faith is born in her heart. Because of her faith, the Lord gives her a new life. Instantly she goes into her town and proclaims about the Lord to her people. Many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified (John 4:28,29,39). In my life, I was an empty vessel. However, after marriage, I was behind my husband and served him. Nobody knew that I had received the anointing since I was a very timid person. I used to be shy and nervous. The Lord then said to me, Daughter, how long would you be calling yourself an ignorant person? I am going to use you mightily in such a way that you would say that you have no time. I did not take it seriously and could never imagine such a lifestyle. My husband got a transfer in his bank job and we came to Chennai. That time, my husband started receiving several letters seeking prayers. I began to get involved in the letter ministry in a small way. As days passed, the Lord increased the ministry. He opened doors for me to preach. Then He gave me the Esther Prayer Group ministry. As the Lord said, today He has increased the ministry and is using me so mightily that I can say that I have no time. Dear ones, God would bless you too abundantly; He will do wonders in your life; He will show wonders in the deep; this God of wonders would remove all your lacks and make them perfect. He would use you mightily in the ministry. Through you, He would reveal His wonders. 26

28 Our dear (late) Bro. D. G. S. Dhinakaran had compiled his heavenly / supernatural experiences in the book, An Insight into Heaven and published it in In this issue, we wish to share one chapter from the book to inspire you to desire such glorious experiences....eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. (I Corinthians 2:9) A vision is granted to us in two formats. We can be made to look at the open Heavens from the place where we are, lost in deep prayer on the earth. Else, the Lord may choose to take us to Heaven in the Spirit, to impart unto us whatever is pleasing to Him. 1. GOD S APPRECIATION OF OUR THIRST FOR HIM An unquenchable thirst in our hearts to walk with God, like the old time prophets, could gear us up, to seek the face of the Lord in a very intense way. The Almighty God Himself, who was put in an embarrassing situation, had to plead with Jacob as given below: And He (God) said, Let Me go, for the day breaks.... (Genesis 32:26) The same thing can also happen today in answer to our tear-filled prayers. 2. THE COMPASSION OF GOD When we are anointed with the Holy Spirit, God s love and compassion fill our hearts (Romans 5:5). When we pray with a real agony for the deliverance of the broken-hearted people, through our intercessory prayers, this compassion enables us to lay hold of God until that person is delivered. In the year 1965, I was in a city called Bangalore, in India. At that time, as a family we attended the worship service in a particular church. The Pastor of the church was a very godly person.one Sunday, after the morning service, he told me with his voice choked with emotion, My brother-in law is lying seriously ill in my home. He 28

29 looks almost lifeless. Can you please come home and pray for him to be revived? I readily agreed and rushed with him to his house.truly, he seemed to be in his last stages with his fingernails turning blue. I saw his pale grief-stricken wife holding their two children in her hands. On seeing them, a great compassion filled my heart and I began to cry unto the Lord to send back his life. The Holy Spirit came and filled me in a powerful way. Then, our beloved Lord Jesus Christ appeared before me and asked me, What are you trying to do? I told Him, Lord, I want his life back. The Lord said nothing but just disappeared from the scene. I felt very forlorn, but was greatly encouraged when the Holy Spirit whispered, Come, let us go. All that I saw next was the Lord walking on the golden streets of Heaven. I followed Him in the Spirit. When He sat on His throne, He asked me, What do you want? Again I told Him, Lord I need the life of that person back. Then He confided to me a personal message to be given to his wife and asked me, Will you go and convey this to her? I promised Him without any hesitation that I would do it. Then His voice was reverberating throughout Heaven telling me, Go back, he lives. The next moment, I found myself back by the side of that person s bed. My clothes were totally drenched in sweat. He had already sat up and was asking his dear sister, Give me something to eat, I feel very hungry. What a thrill it was for the entire church when he came and sat in the front row of the church for the evening service on the GOD S COMPASSION THAT MOVES US TO SEE MIRACLES FROM HIS HANDS same day. Yes, it is God s compassion that moves us to see miracles from His Hands (Psalm 111:4). 3. GOD S DESIRE TO COMMUNICATE TO HIS PROPHETS HIS DIVINE PLANS Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. (Amos 3:7) Before sending His judgement on the city of Sodom, God came down from Heaven all the way to reveal it to His prophet Abraham (Genesis 18:17; 20:7). Likewise, the Lord Jesus Himself may choose to take us to Heaven to speak to us about upcoming events. Now, let me list out some of the key truths which anyone who is really keen to have an insight into Heaven should be aware of.these key truths are imperative to have a real glimpse of Heaven. a) The Reality of Heaven In My Father s house are many mansions;...if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. (John 14:2,3) Once, I read in a magazine about a renowned philosopher exclaiming on his deathbed, I do not know why I came into this world; I do not know how I lived here and now also I do not know where I am going. This is the agonizing cry for most of the humanity. Quite contrary to this, people who have committed their lives to our Lord Jesus leave this world with great excitement and expectation. 29

30 b) The Abode of God Heaven is the abode of the Almighty God (Psalm 115:3,16). We human beings are born and brought up in this world and hence our knowledge is earthoriented. No doubt, Heaven remains a mystery to us. Sometime ago, there was an article in an International magazine about a very huge observatory in California, USA. In that article, the head of that observatory had mentioned with great excitement, Everyday we scan through the sky with the help of the most powerful giant telescopes. It is really a wonder that we are able to trace nearly five or six new stars almost every day. How innumerable are the stars in God s sky. If that be the case, how vast should the firmament be that upholds the stars, and how inexplicable Heaven should be! c) The Holy Spirit, God s Rocket to Heaven Mankind has been privileged to watch the mighty rockets lifting up to space from NASA in the USA. What an awesome sight it is to watch a powerful rocket rising into space, spitting fire and smoke all the way. It penetrates into space and reaches the point where the spaceship would be solely drawn by the gravitational force of the moon. By the same analogy, we need the mighty supernatural rocket called The Holy Spirit to transport our human spirit (soul) to Heaven to have a glimpse of the Abode of God. Thank God, He, in His mercy, has graciously come forward to empower us with His mighty Holy Spirit to transport our human spirits (souls) to Heaven at His delight and pleasure so that we can have a real insight into Heaven. d) The Inhabitants of Heaven (i) God Himself In Heaven, there is a great person called GOD waiting to receive us (John 4:24). Apostle Paul describes His magnificence in the Scripture verse: dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. (I Timothy 6:15,16) (ii) The Saints of God On the Mount of Transfiguration, Peter, the fisherman, a disciple of the Lord Jesus was transfixed looking at the transfigured Jesus in His original Heavenly glory (Matthew 17:1 5). On both sides of the transfigured Jesus Christ, appeared two acclaimed prophets of God, Elijah and Moses. Elijah was translated into Heaven in flesh and blood (II Kings 2:11). Moses had died like any other man and was buried by God Himself (Deuteronomy 34:6). Yet, when he and Elijah appeared before the physical and natural eyes of Peter, both were visible and identifiable in their appearance equally. It must be understood that all the inhabitants of Heaven who have gone from this earth could still be easily recognized and identified as they would continue to retain the personality in which they had lived in this world, even after their death. Although our precious Lord is in His glorified body, yet He appeared to be in flesh and blood after His resurrection according to Luke 24:39,40. Heaven is a wonderful place. In Heaven, every soul would be uninterrupted and filled with unspeakable joy and full of glory all the time. While reading this book, these little helpful keys should be kept in mind so that the Holy Spirit would be able to reveal the real Heaven to you without any bias or prejudice. 30
