1 T he Lord Gives Overflowing Blessings Special Message: Bro. G.P.S.Robinson Dearly beloved! Greetings to you in the name of the Lord Jesus! The Lord has been speaking to us in many ways. Specially, He talks to us mostly when we meditate on His Words or listen to His message. These days, our nation is meeting with many troubles with regard to economy. The value of American Dollar in Indian currency is drastically low, as never before in history. On the other side, the price of all commodities is sky rocketing. Workers are going through many problems such as decrease in salary and man power. As a result, people of all sects are affected, as we know. At this juncture, will the Lord change my financial condition? When will He put an end to this poverty and grant me His blessings? Such questions may be assailing you. The Holy Spirit shall answer all your questions through the Jesus Meets magazine and bless you. Give Cheerfully So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days. I Kings 17:15. Dearly beloved! try to read the whole of I Kings 17th chapter, if possible! The incident mentioned here is a good example to show

2 that our Lord is the One who changes us, who have nothing, into who have everything. When there was acute famine in Zarephath, God sent His servant Elijah there. The man of God went and met a widow who was gathering sticks so as to prepare bread for her and her son and then die. The Lord wanted to give riches to that widow; but she was unaware of God s will in her life. It was when the Lord wanted to prosper her that He sent His servant to her. Elijah said to her, Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son. For thus says the LORD God of Israel: The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the LORD sends rain on the earth. I Kings 17:13,14. That widow did accordingly! Dear child of God who is reading this message, if you have not yet seen prosperity in your life, despite having the belief that God will change your debt problem and remove your poverty, let your heart be encouraged to cheerfully give to the Lord, amidst your lacks. If that widow had given priority to her lacks, she would not have given anything to Elijah. Rather she considered his needs as greater than hers and fed His servant, in faith. As a result, God commanded prosperity in her family in such a way that not only she and her son, but her entire household could be fed for several days. Dear child of God, there may be famine, poverty, debt, difficulty, high cost of living etc., in the nation. But when you give for the kingdom of God, trusting in Him, surely you will not be in poverty. Look up to the Lord who will prosper you, in faith and give your loving offering for the ministries, without looking at your current situation. There shall be overflowing blessings in your life. Proclaim the Gospel Then they said to one another, We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we remain silent. If we wait until morning light, some punishment will come upon us. Now therefore, come, let us go and tell the king s household. II Kings 7:9. Dearly beloved! we should never forget that receiving God s prosperity and blessings lie in our hands too. It is an undeniable truth that what we give is returned back to us in manifold, by the Lord. Likewise, it is our bounden duty and commission that we proclaim the Gospel which we know and experience, to others, in this time of grace given by God. Hasn t the King of Kings said, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature? Mark 16:15. Gospel that changed Poverty Don t we read about the cruel famine that affected the people of Samaria in II Kings, 7th chapter? Then Elisha said, Hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the LORD: Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria. An officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, Look, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, could this thing be? II Kings 7:1,2. Yet the Lord beautifully changed that dire situation in a wonderful way. The LORD had caused the army of the Syrians to hear the noise of chariots and the noise of horses; the noise of a great army; they arose and fled away. When the four lepers came to know of this personally, they announced the good news to the palace saying, If we wait until morning light, some punishment will come upon us. On hearing this, the Israelites pursued the Syrian army and tasted a great victory. All the things of the Syrians were plundered. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD. Whatever may be your situation, tell the Gospel, the message of love to others, with wisdom, forgetting your own difficulties and loss. A good report makes the bones healthy (Proverbs 15:30). The Lord will command peace and prosperity in churches and nations, because of you and make you happy!

3 The testimonies of those who attended Deliverance Fesival In the Festival of Deliverance The Lord did mighty things The Lord graciously enabled us to conduct the Festival of Deliverance in the Jesus Meets Intercessory Prayer Centre from July 12th to 14th. Many children of God and many who do not know the Lord participated in these meetings. The message given by Bro. Stephen (God s Love Ministries) on the first day and the morning session of the second day was of great blessing to the children of God. Many were touched by the power of God in the meetings held on Saturday and Sunday. Those who received the anointing and healing came to the stage and glorified God through their testimonies. We thank God for Bro. Sam Moses who conducted a powerful worship service during these three days. Special mention has to be made about Missionary Aaron who is working in the Friends Missionary Band, Chhattisgarh, through the Jesus Meets Ministries. God made it possible for him to dedicate these meetings for His glory, in the family Blessing Meeting held in the morning.

4 The Holy Spirit who Grants T Financial Blessing. Receive the Anointing: Bro. G.P.S.Robinson Dearly beloved! we believe that there are power, gifts and grace in the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Similarly, we must also believe that the anointing of God will change the financial strain and bring us prosperity. It is not God s will that we should be prosperous only in our spirit, soul and boy and have set backs in our financial condition. The Lord desires that our needs are met every day and we live without any financial difficulty. You should know how the Holy Spirit would help us in this matter. Father who Blessed Achsah So she said to him, Give me a blessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs. Judges 1:15. My dear child of God! it gives me joy to share with you the spiritual truths contained in the above verse. When Father Caleb, blesses his daughter, it is said clearly that he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs. Life of springs refers to the anointing of the Holy Spirit. For example, when speaking about the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus said it is like rivers John 7:38. Blessings of the upper springs denote not only the heaven but also the heavenly blessings from above. Likewise, blessings of the lower springs, denote the prosperity in this world. We all know that lush green places cannot be easily seen in areas where there is no flow of river. At the same time, we know that flowing rivers are the main cause of prosperity. The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts the whole land of Warning for those who have the smoking habit Havilah, where there is gold. Genesis 2:11. Dear child of God! the Bible says that the river Pishon has gold. The anointing is symbolic of a river. I John 2:27 says, the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you. So, when you pray, being filled with the Spirit, open your mouth, rebuke the spirit of poverty and confess prosperity into your life. Believe on the Holy Spirit so that the river of anointing shall flood in you. Open up your heart to receive it. Ask with faith. Surely He will fill you with His power. He shall command you a prosperous life! It is a proven fact that hearing ability may be affected for those who have the smoking habit. Now scientists say that even passive smokers (who are near the smoker and inhale the smoke) also are affected. The minute blood vessels in the ears are affected by smoke as a result of which toxic elements get collected in the ear because of lack of oxygen. Hence the inner parts of ears are affected.
