The Rajahmundry Prayer Festival was conducted with great spiritual fervour and witnessed a powerful move of God over three days, followed by a special Partners Blessing Meeting and a Sunday Church Service.
Dr. Paul Dhinakaran interceded for God’s light to shine over Andhra Pradesh, proclaiming God’s victory over every power of darkness and preached from Hebrews 3:4 that God would build each one as His holy temple, be their living foundation, surround them with walls of living stones and fill their borders with a hedge of His peace.
A powerful testimony was shared by Mr. Suresh from Kakinada, who testified that he had been completely healed by God from throat cancer after prayer.
Bro. Samuel Dhinakaran preached from Psalm 24:7–8, unveiling Jesus as the King of Glory. He urged all to receive the victorious King into their hearts and prayed that God’s glory would fill and sustain them with never-ending riches.
Karunya University students presented a graceful choreography in praise to God. Stella Ramola and Daniel Davidson led praise and worship assuring the congregation with a word from God each day.
Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran prayed for families to be established in peace and holiness. The meetings touched hearts in a personal way.
Partners Blessing Meeting:
The Partners Blessing Meeting was held on 14th February, 2026. As a family, the Dhinakarans met with the partners and blessed them by sharing God’s word with them and offering individual prayers.
Sunday Church Service:
The Sunday Church Service following the festival reached around 100,000 viewers through broadcast and encouraged believers to continue walking closely with God and building their lives firmly on Christ.
The NandambakkamAseervathaPeruvizha Prayer Festival was held on 21st and 22nd February 2026 with a powerful move of God’s presence.
Dr. Paul Dhinakaran offered earnest intercessory prayers for pastors and their ministries, asking God to strengthen them and empower them for greater service. He ministered prophetically to the gathering, calling out individuals by name and declaring deliverance and breakthroughs.
One such miracle was a young boy, Noble, suffering from a painful hip tumour that prevented him from sitting cross-legged. He experienced a miraculous touch of healing as his mother prayed earnestly. In that very moment, he was able to fold his legs for the first time in
months, powerfully demonstrating God’s compassion and igniting faith in everyone present.
The worship session led by Stella Ramola and Daniel Davidson deeply stirred the congregation.
Bro. Samuel Dhinakaran delivered a prophetic message based on John 16:20, sharing that the Lord would bring transformation in the lives of His people, filling their hearts with His love, sweetness, and deliverance from every evil.
A special highlight of the evening was KatelynAnna Dhinakaran singing on stage for the first time, offering her praise to glorify God.
Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran concluded the meeting with a heartfelt prayer for spiritual renewal, asking the Holy Spirit to transform pain into joy and fill hearts with the love of Jesus. The meeting concluded with a powerful time of prayer during which many participants testified of miracles, healing, and divine peace filling their hearts.
Dearly beloved friend,
As we step into April, I want you to be assured of God’s promises and their fulfillment. If the situation you are in has turned out more challenging than anticipated, or the pain you are experiencing seems endless, don’t lose heart. There is still hope in Jesus. He says, “See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut” (Revelation 3:8). Jesus calls Himself the Door in John 10:9, where He says, “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.”
When we accept Jesus, the Good Shepherd, as our personal Saviour, He will lead us to green pastures where our provision will be abundant. In addition to the biggest gift of salvation, we will get to enjoy peace and prosperity beyond measure.
OPEN DOOR OF HEAVENLY BLESSINGS
When you walk with Jesus on His chosen pasture, following His every step, even the windows of heaven will open up for you. Blessings will abundantly flow from there. “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”
(Malachi 3:10)
One festive season, my wife and I rushed to a supermarket at the end of a long day spent in ministerial duties. It was around 10.30 when we landed at the multi-storied shopping complex to find the manager of the store ready to shut down the place. We noticed he had the keys to the main entrance in his hand, and understood there was little time left for us to shop. On seeing our reluctance, he asked us to step into the store and brought down the shutters behind us. He then made a quick call to the owner of the supermarket to inform him that we were there. The owner instructed him to open up the entire place to us - from the basement to the seventh floor! An open door. He took us thru all departments until close to midnight though we purchased only a handful of things!
But when the Lord opens the door, he grants your every desire by letting you walk the pastures from where you will inherit all the blessings meant for you. The door of divine provision Jesus opens, nobody can shut too.
Everything behind it so also, all yours!
The powers of wickedness may have stopped God’s blessings from reaching you. But Jesus says, “Come to Me, I will bless you. I am right at your heart’s door, knocking to be let in. Only when you accept Me, I can bless you with health, wealth, honour, and joy.”
Won’t you open up your heart to Jesus today? When you do, the glory of His presence will fill you.
Make a list of all the ‘closed doors’ in your life. Believe that God will open all of those doors for you, regardless of what your circumstances are. Are you bound by some sin, or facing discrimination? Have you been cheated by someone, or being exploited at your workplace? The Lord has stepped into your situation to deliver you this month.
We read in the Bible an incident where the apostles of Jesus were imprisoned for their faith in the Lord. An angel of the Lord appeared to them within the prison walls and opened the doors of the jail for them (Acts 5:19). They were set free because of divine intervention, only to go back into the world and preach that Jesus was God. The disciples could not stop proclaiming that Jesus’ name was the only name on earth by which we are saved.
The Bible records another similar incident, where Apostle Peter is arrested, bound with chains and thrown into the prison by King Herod, who is determined to execute him. When Peter was asleep that night between two soldiers in a heavily guarded prison, an angel of the Lord appeared right where he was. The angel struck Peter on his side and woke him up. That instant the chains fell off Peter’s wrists. The angel led Peter out of the prison. They both walked past many levels of security to reach the Iron Gate leading to the city. The gate opened by itself and they went through it (Acts 12:10).
Even so, God Himself will open all the closed doors for you. He knows you are on a rough road. Jesus knows you have lost hope. He is watching how wicked people are taking advantage of you. You are troubled for various reasons. Remember that when you call out to Jesus for help, He will rescue you from the pits of despair and set you free.
An Indian Christian missionary saint named Sadhu Sundar Singh, who lived in the late 19th century, led a very challenging life for the sake of Jesus Christ. He went to the Tibetan plateau in the Himalayas to share the gospel with the people there. When he lived among them, he was nabbed by opposing forces, including the village headman, who threw Singh into a dry
well (well of death) of rotting human flesh and bones. They covered the well with a huge lid and locked it up. The key to the well was handed over to the headman. Singh was trapped inside and there was no way he could get out. On the third day, Singh saw a rope hanging beside him. He could not see where it came from, but he held on to it and was dragged up to the rim of the well. The lid opened and he got out of the well. There was nobody around. He walked free and began preaching the love of Jesus from the next morning. Those who saw him were bewildered. The headman lost his wits. He charged at people around shouting how it was possible for Singh to release himself when the key to the well was tied to him. The truth is, the Lord had the key to the closed well! He has the key to every closed door in your life.
Dear child of God, the Jesus who saved Sadhu Sundar Singh will save you. He will open closed doors of blessings as you continue to trust the God who performed inexplicable miracles. Do not lose heart.
Eyes Open
God has given us eyes to see the physical and spiritual things of life. What we see physically can depress us. When we look around, there is trauma, pain, and lack. Wicked people are out to ruin peace everywhere. But God promises His children a path replete with goodness and abundance. Every blessing becomes attainable when your spiritual eyes open up. When you ask Jesus, He will open your eyes to see the open door ahead, which reveals the plans the Lord has for you.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you
and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
(Jeremiah 29:11)
When we view the world with our physical eyes, we are threatened by the things that we see. We are wrecked watching all the poverty, pain, abuse, evil, crime, and injustice prevalent everywhere. But like Joshua, who succeeded Moses in leading the Israelites to the Promised Land, you must dare to move forward. Joshua saw the raging flood waters of the Jordan river and did not back off. The Lord told him that he and the whole nation he was leading would cross it. And so, when the priests’ feet touched the water’s edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing, and they all crossed a dry riverbed to the land of milk and honey.
When you dare to believe that everything is possible with God, He will lead you and your family to green pastures with no dearth of blessing. Never give up.
I Peter 5:10 reads: “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”
Once Prophet Elisha was about to be captured by the king of Syria. The prayerful man that he was, Elisha kept his composure during the crisis. But his servant was alarmed on seeing an enemy army with horses and chariots surrounding the city. He ran to Elisha crying, “What shall we do?” Elisha assured him, saying, “Don’t be afraid. Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And he prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s spiritual eyes with which he could see the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha (II Kings 6:17). At that point, the enemy army started advancing towards Elisha. On seeing them, Elisha prayed, “Lord, strike this army with blindness.” The Lord struck them with blindness in answer to Elisha’s prayer.
If you are an individual who has not had a breakthrough in a long time in your ministry, career, family life, or wherever God has placed you, believe that the God of Elisha will open your eyes of understanding so you could see your deliverance nearer than ever before. Receive it in the name of Jesus.
The Bible records the story of Hagar, an Egyptian woman, who was sent out of her home under dire circumstances. She had a young son and they both wandered in the desert not knowing where to go. The food and water they had in hand did not last beyond a few days. They were now on the verge of dying. Hagar saw her son struggling to survive. She put him under one of the bushes and sat away from him for fear of watching him die. She was sobbing uncontrollably, and the boy was also weeping. God heard their cry. The angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and told her not to be afraid, for God had heard the boy’s cry. The angel told Hagar to lift the boy up by his hand. During that difficult time, God promised Hagar that He would make her son into a great nation, and then He opened her spiritual eyes with which she saw a well of water closeby (Genesis 21:19). So she went and collected water from the well and gave the boy a drink. In all the years Hagar and her son lived in the desert, God was with them.
Similarly, God will guide your children to inherit His promises. He will take them to still waters where they will find peace and plenty. As parents, who are toiling in God’s vineyard, you may be struggling to reach a point of relief. The Lord says He will elevate you. You will be able to prophesy over your children. God will expand your territory and give you an increase in every aspect. You will be encouraged to glorify His name always.
Recently, a person named Deivani shared a testimony of how God came through for her. Her husband, a policeman, passed away suddenly. All the dues she was supposed to get from the government were denied to her. She did everything she could for 23 years but in vain. There was no response from the government, favouring her case. She finally came to the Prayer Tower, dejected and helpless. On that particular day, I was addressing the gathering there. Soon after the meeting, she came to me for prayer with her son. I placed my hand on his head and prayed, “Lord, bless this boy with a government job. Jesus opened every closed door in their lives, in Jesus’ name.” The Lord is faithful. The same month, the boy got a government job. All the pending payments to that family were released. The Lord opened all the shut doors. Tell yourself that all your troubles are momentary. Ask the Lord to open your eyes of faith with which you would see His sovereign power at work. I face a lot of challenges in ministry. Whenever I am forced to endure any problem that springs from an ordinary individual or any authority, I go to the Lord, seeking His face. My family gathers around me and we pray together. When we sit in the presence of the Lord, He intercedes for us, as said in Romans 8:26. “The Holy Spirit helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Then the Holy Spirit speaks showing us His will for our life. He then helps us to do it and as we do it everything we do prospers.
Jesus our Lord, was crucified on the cross and after his death was laid in a grave for three days. The entrance of the tomb was sealed with a massive stone. On the third day,
when Jesus rose up, the stone was rolled away. The Holy Spirit’s resurrected power will open all the closed doors for you in the same way.
Blessings open
A great and effective door will open for you when you place your faith in God. Get ready to enjoy the Lord’s favour upon your life. Start meditating upon His word and pray for its fulfillment. The more you dwell on His love, His promises and His faithfulness, the joy of the Lord will increase within you. The Lord opened these doors for His disciples. Paul says, “For a great and effective door has opened to me” (I Corinthians 16:9). At Antioch, Paul and Barnabas learn how God had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles (Acts 14: 27). A woman named Lydia mentioned in the Bible (Acts 16:14) was touched by the Lord, who opened her heart to heed the things spoken by the Apostle Paul. The Lord will open people’s hearts to receive His word. We read that the Lord Himself opened His mouth to preach His word. Acts 8:35 says Apostle Philip opened his mouth and preached Jesus. In Matthew 5:2, we read that when we open our mouths to testify the Lord’s goodness, Satan will be put to shame. The devil will fall like lightning from heaven and remain powerless when we speak about the Lord’s unfailing love and redeeming sacrifice (Luke 10:18). When Apostle Peter preached Jesus, entire families and multitudes were saved. Even so, every word you speak about Jesus is an invitation to the Holy Spirit’s anointing upon you, your family, and the generations that follow. Soon after my dad’s passing in 2008, the Lord spoke to me. He said that He would pour out His Spirit on everyone, according to Acts 2:17, and not restrict His Spirit to big ministries. For
it is written that in the last days, God will pour out His Spirit on all people, “your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” As said in Revelation 19:10, the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy. The Lord asked me to raise young people to honour His name. Jesus commissioned me to do so, saying no evil can come near Jesus Calls ministry, Karunya, SEESHA, and my family, if I fulfilled this. To this day, I stand on His promise. Every morning, during my quiet time with Jesus, I plead for His cleansing. The Lord will speak to me through many verses from the Bible. He will also say that I am His special child because of my deep love for Him. All my problems will wilt away when I hear those words. I will find strength to face the day and follow His plan for every hour. Everything I do turns out well. Families are edified. The lost return to the Lord. Lives are transformed. Blessings are showered upon the faithful.
Heaven opens
Dearly beloved, you can see heaven open up for you when you surrender your will to do God’s work on earth, just like Jesus did. Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, was martyred for proclaiming that Jesus was God. Just before dying, he looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” Stephen said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” Commit yourself to the Lord every day. Our destination is heaven. We need to prepare ourselves to get there one day. Offer yourself to Jesus. Commit your ways to Him daily. Heaven is well within the reach of the one whose heart is perfect towards Jesus. God bless you.
The Arumanai Prayer Festival held in Arumanai, Kanyakumari, from 27 February to 1 March 2026 impacted and transformed many lives. God stopped the rains miraculously after prayers and enabled the meeting to carry on in blessing the gathering.
Dr. Paul Dhinakaran then ministered prophetically, declaring restoration and praying fervently for those facing broken situations. He delivered a powerful message from 2 Samuel 7:11, declaring that God Himself establishes and blesses His people when they trust in Him. During the prayer session, he called out names and proclaimed that lives that had been shattered would rise again as testimonies of God’s glory.
A remarkable testimony was shared by Bro. Reuben, who spoke about the miraculous healing of his wife by God from continuous bleeding after the Lord led Dr. Paul Dhinakaran to call her name during a prayer broadcast. The testimony strengthened the faith of those present, reminding them that God’s power is not limited by distance.
The worship session led by Stella Ramola and Daniel Davidson in which they shared their testimony brought peace and comfort to the broken-hearted. Samuel Dhinakaran delivered an inspiring message titled “Faith that Brings Miracles,” encouraging the congregation to walk in persistent and bold faith. Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran shared God’s Word from Psalm 30:11, proclaiming that the Lord turns mourning into dancing and fills His people with joy.
Arumanai Partners Meet: The Arumanai Partners Meet was held on 28 February 2026. Dr. Paul Dhinakaran delivered a message from Malachi 3:10, reminding the partners that the Lord Himself builds their homes and blesses them abundantly.
Pastors Blessing Meeting: The Jesus Calls Pastors Blessing Meeting was held at Arumanai on 2 March 2026. Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran encouraged the pastors through God’s Word. God's name was exalted through all these meetings.
Dear friend,
This month God wants us to draw near to Him as a family by praying together as a family. God’s promises us, “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”(Matthew 18:20)
But, “Why should we pray when God already knows our needs? He lives within us. He understands every thought before we speak it.”
Many families quietly ask this question. If God knows everything, why must we gather and pray? Yet prayer is not about informing God; it is about inviting Him to rule our home. Prayer is fellowship. It is the loving conversation that binds a family to their Heavenly Father and to one another.
The Lord Jesus taught His disciples how to pray, showing that prayer must be central in every sphere of life including the family. Scripture says in Book of Proverbs 15:8 that “the prayer of the upright is His delight.” When a family prays together, it delights the heart of God. Homes that pray are homes that attract His presence.
Sadly, some approach prayer with fear or indifference. I once met a man who refused to close his eyes during family prayer. He confessed, “I am afraid of God. If I draw closer to Him, I may face
more trouble.” Many families carry similar fears, fearing that surrendering fully to God might invite hardship. But the opposite is true. Prayer does not bring trouble; it brings covering. It does not invite loss; it invites blessing.
The psalmist declares in Book of Psalms 104:34, “May my meditation be pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in the Lord.” When prayer becomes part of a household’s rhythm, joy begins to replace tension, peace overcomes anxiety, and unity strengthens relationships.
Only in times of crisis, families often remember to pray. There is a story of two men confronted by a charging bull. In desperation, one cried, “Pray!” The other hurriedly uttered the only prayer he remembered from childhood, “Lord, thank You for the bull in front of us!” That is how many people are today. They don’t know how to pray. Many families pray only during illness, financial strain, or conflict. Yet prayer should not be our last resort; it should be our first response.
The Lord looks for intercessors. In Book of Isaiah 59:16, He searched for someone to stand in the gap and found none. What if that intercessor is meant to be a father praying over his children? A mother standing in prayer for her home? A family joining hands to seek God’s direction?
The Word instructs us in Epistle of James 5:13, “Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray.” When challenges arise in marriage, parenting, finances, or health, prayer becomes the anchor. And when blessings flow, we are called to praise. A praying family learns to thank God in abundance and trust Him in adversity.
In Book of Revelation 5:8, our prayers are described as incense before God. Imagine the fragrance rising from a home where morning and evening prayers ascend daily. Psalms 141:2 compares prayer to a sacrifice. Family prayer may require discipline and sacrifice of time, but it releases divine favor.
I personally discovered the transforming power of family prayer after my marriage into the Dhinakaran family. Before marriage, I prayed because I was encouraged to do so. But in my new home, prayer was woven into everyday life. Early mornings began with Scripture and earnest seeking of God. Before meals, before travel, before decisions, there was prayer. Even at the doorway, the family would pause and commit their steps to the Lord. At first, it felt overwhelming. Yet during a season of deep sorrow after losing my mother, I observed something remarkable. Despite responsibilities and pressures, my husband and his parents radiated joy during prayer. Their faces reflected the presence of the Holy Spirit. That was when I understood: prayer was the secret of their strength and unity. It was the source of their joy. As I began to participate wholeheartedly in family prayer, God met me personally. He comforted my grief, guided my conduct within the family, and equipped me for ministry. Prayer did not merely change circumstances; it transformed hearts. It aligned our home with heaven.
The psalmist proclaims in Book of Psalms 16:11, “In Your presence there is fullness of joy.” A family that dwells in God’s presence will experience that fullness. Conflicts soften. Decisions gain clarity. Children grow with spiritual confidence. Love deepens.
Yes, families should pray because God desires fellowship with every home. Prayer invites His protection and provision. It builds unity and releases joy. It turns houses into sanctuaries. A blessed family is not one without challenges; it is one that faces challenges on its knees. When a household chooses prayer, it chooses God’s presence and where His presence dwells, blessing follows.
May your home rediscover the sweet fellowship of family prayer and experience the fullness of joy that flows from His presence.
MIRACULOUSLY SUSTAINED
During a family gathering, I suddenly collapsed while walking to the table. I suffered a head injury and briefly lost consciousness. My sons rushed me to the hospital by ambulance. In this situation, my sons contacted the Jesus Calls Prayer Team who assured us of their prayers. On the way, my heart rate dropped drastically. At the hospital, doctors found no blockages, but my heart muscles were failing. An external pacemaker was placed, with plans for a permanent one. That night, I had another severe episode, and the medical team rushed in. In the midst of it all, prayers were rising, and I tangibly felt the Lord’s presence surrounding me. The pacemaker surgery was successful, and I was discharged after a week. Today, I am fully recovered and able to serve the Lord again. The Lord has granted me new life and has faithfully sustained and protected me. Surviving multiple cardiac episodes without severe complications is nothing short of a miracle. I give all glory, honor, and praise to the Lord Jesus for this new lease of life.

SAVED FROM LIFE THREATENING SITUATION
I was diagnosed with a brain tumor after persistent headaches. The news was shocking, and doctors advised immediate surgery. Fear gripped me as I considered the risks, but I reached out to the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower for prayer support. The surgery was successful, and I gradually returned to normal life. However, during a routine check-up, the tumor was found to have returned more aggressively. Doctors warned of greater risks in the next surgery, including possible loss of speech, vision, or memory. Once again, I sought prayer. This time, I experienced an unexplainable peace and confidence going into surgery. After the procedure, I temporarily lost my memory and speech, but through continuous prayers, I steadily regained all functions. Doctors were amazed to find that the tumor had reduced significantly. Soon, I was able to return to work, and my abilities remained unaffected. I thank and praise the Lord for His miraculous healing and faithfulness. I am deeply grateful to the prayer intercessors who stood with me in prayer and encouragement throughout this journey. All glory to our Lord Jesus!

My dear partner in ministry, God’s Word reminds us in Psalm 127:1, “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” This powerful truth teaches us that every lasting blessing in our lives must begin with God. We may plan, work hard, and strive with all our strength, but true success and lasting peace come only when the Lord Himself builds our lives, families, and ministries. Throughout the journey of the Jesus Calls ministry, we have witnessed this promise unfold again and again. Every prayer answered, every life transformed, and every

I request you to pray for my beloved wife Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran as we celebrate her birthday thanking God for blessing our family and million others through her soft spoken counsel, mighty prayers and selfless love. Pray God renews her strength as she continues to work for the Lord and cares for the family.
Dear friend, As we remember the Lord’s resurrection on 5 April 2026, I want to remind you that God’s promise to resurrect and rebuild lives as revealed in the start of the year from Isaiah 58:12 will come to fulfillment soon and your heart will rejoice over the work that God’s hand accomplishes.
Your brother who prays for you, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
Our faith honoured with the fruit of the womb…
We were so dejected because of many years of barrenness. We couldn't face society. We went through shame and heartache. In this situation, my wife suggested that we should visit the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower and receive prayers. So we visited the Prayer Tower and in faith enrolled the child we were praying for in the Young Partners Plan. Unbelievably, my wife conceived within weeks and God blessed us with a beautiful, healthy baby girl for His glory. We are so happy in the Lord and grateful for the Jesus Calls ministry. - Russelraj, Marthandam
The same God who answered this couple’s heartfelt prayer continues to work wonders today. When children are committed to the Lord through the Young Partners Plan, they are placed under a covering of prayer and divine guidance. What begins as a simple step of faith can grow into a lifetime of God’s favor and purpose for your child.
Every parent desires that their child grows in wisdom, walks in righteousness, and fulfils the purpose God has prepared for them. Just as a lamp placed on a stand gives light to everyone in the house, a child nurtured in God’s presence becomes a light that shines brightly wherever they go. The Young Partners Plan helps parents place their children under the continual light of God’s Word and prayer so that they grow strong in faith and character.
To enroll or continue your partnership in the Young Partners Plan, you can give $100 or more every year.
Your partnership helps support the ministry’s prayer outreach to children, young people, and families.
To enroll, kindly send in your offierings to the Prayer Tower in your country/ region or reach out to us at intl@jesuscalls.org.
Dear friend,
I am delighted to greet you as we step into the month of April. This month, the Lord is saying that He is going to be the Resurrector of your faith. This is a season in which God desires to prosper His children. Look forward with expectation, for the Lord Himself will hold your hand and lead you forward with His grace and favour.
The Lord is reminding us that He will resurrect our faith. Faith is essential in our walk with God. In Mark 9:24, a desperate father cried out to Jesus, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” This honest prayer reveals the struggle many of us experience in our hearts. We want to
believe, yet circumstances sometimes weaken our faith.
The father who spoke these words was in deep anguish. His son was severely tormented by evil spirits, and he could no longer bear to see his child suffer. In desperation he approached Jesus and pleaded, “Lord, if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
Jesus’ response was powerful. He challenged the father’s doubt and reminded him that nothing is impossible for those who believe. Like this father, we often pray to God with uncertainty. Living in a world that relies on human reasoning can limit our thinking. We begin to approach God with the same limitations, asking small questions and expecting small answers.
But God does not work according to human limitations. His ways are far greater. Faith
moves us to seek God for greater miracles. Without belief, we will not ask Him for anything. Yet when we truly understand who He is and what He can do, our prayers become bold and expectant. Sadly, many times we limit God by asking only for small blessings: “Lord, just help me pass,” or “Give me enough for today.” Even in times of sickness, we may pray for only a little improvement instead of believing for complete healing.
God desires to enlarge our faith and help us believe in His supernatural power. Often unbelief grows out of past disappointments. A failure in our career, a broken relationship, or a difficult season can make us feel that our future is finished. At times we may even doubt that living righteously will bring God’s blessing, and are tempted to follow the same corrupt ways of the world. Yes, unbelief pulls us away from God’s will and grieves His heart. Our loving Father longs for His children to trust Him fully. Therefore, let us pray as that father did: “Lord, help me overcome my unbelief.”
The Bible gives us a beautiful example of faith in the story of a woman who had suffered from a bleeding condition for twelve long years. When she heard that Jesus was passing by, she pressed through the crowd with a simple but powerful belief: If I can just touch the edge of His garment, I will be healed. With determination she reached out and touched the hem of His cloak. Instantly, the power of God flowed into her body, and she was
completely healed. Jesus stopped and asked, “Who touched Me?” When the trembling woman confessed, He spoke words that still inspire us today: “Your faith has healed you. Go in peace.” How joyful the Lord was to see her faith!
The same Lord is ready to strengthen our faith today. As Scripture reminds us tell yourself, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,” and “My God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches.” Whatever area of your life feels broken whether your career, your family, your health, or your future, bring it before God today. Ask Him sincerely, “Lord, help me overcome my unbelief.” When you do, He will resurrect your faith and fill your heart with confidence in His power.
From this month onward, let us pray with renewed faith, believing that the God of miracles is able to do far more than we can imagine.
Prayer: Loving Lord, Resurrect my heart and remove every trace of unbelief within me. Fill me with the power to believe in You. Even in the midst of my circumstances, my failures, and the things in my life that seem broken or lost, help me to trust in Your power. Holy Spirit, I welcome You to strengthen me and help me to believe. Rise within me to fight for me, to defend my life, and to restore everything that has been lost. I bring my needs before You. I ask for Your miracles and Your blessings in every area of my life. Bless my family life and guide my future. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Dear friend,
Many believers quietly wrestle with this familiar question. Our hearts feel full in worship services and fellowship gatherings. Songs lift our spirits, prayers comfort us, and the Word of God speaks powerfully. Yet once we step back into our routines at home, college, or the workplace that deep
sense of God’s presence often seems to fade.
This experience is more common than we realize. In moments of corporate worship, we are surrounded by faith-filled people, unified prayer, and spiritual encouragement. Naturally, our awareness of God feels heightened. But when we return to environments filled with pressure, distractions, and competing voices, it can feel as though God is distant.
At times, this confusion leads us to question Him. “Lord, I come to church faithfully. I pray and read Your Word. Why do I feel alone when I face challenges at college or in the office?”
Deep within, we long for God’s presence to remain constant. Much like a child scanning the crowd during a school performance, hoping to see a parent’s familiar face, we desire reassurance that God is near especially in moments when we feel vulnerable, overwhelmed, or discouraged. We want His presence to support us when we feel low, strengthen us when we are weak, and guide us when we are uncertain.
The encouraging truth is this: God’s presence is not limited to church walls. He desires to walk with us every moment of our lives. Scripture reminds us that we can experience Him continually, not occasionally. The key lies not in God’s
availability, but in our attentiveness.
Experiencing God’s presence daily requires intentionality. Many of us expect instant spiritual results while reading the Bible for a few minutes or offering a brief prayer and hoping for a profound encounter. When that does not happen immediately, frustration sets in. Yet the Bible gently instructs us otherwise. Psalm 27:14 says, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” Waiting is not passive but is a deliberate posture of trust, patience, and focus.
God invites us to set aside meaningful, uninterrupted time with Him. Instead of squeezing Him into the margins of our day, He calls us to intentio-nally create space to listen. Reading His Word daily allows us to understand His heart. Prayer opens a twoway conversation which is not just speaking to God, but allowing Him to speak back to us. As we tune our hearts and minds to His voice, we grow more sensitive to His presence.
Psalm 145:18 offers a beautiful promise: “The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.” When we seek God sincerely and consistently, He draws near. Over time, we begin to recognize His guidance in everyday situations through an inner prompting, a timely word, a sense of peace, or even a gentle correction.
God’s presence does not only comfort
us; it also shapes us. He teaches, instructs, and disciplines those He loves. When we spend time with Him regularly, we learn to discern His leading. We begin to recognize when God is directing our steps, correcting our attitudes, or preparing us for growth. Scripture assures us that He instructs us in the way we should go, and He watches over us with care.
As our awareness of God deepens, His presence becomes evident everywhere in a crowded bus stop, during an exam, while handling a challenging project at work, or even in moments of rest. He is with us when we rise and when we lie down, when we rejoice and when we struggle. Gradually, our relationship with Him becomes more personal and conversational, like walking with a close friend.
God has promised never to leave us nor forsake us. In Exodus 33:14, He assures, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” This promise is for today, not just for sacred spaces, but for every ordinary moment of life.
So be encouraged. Begin each day by tuning your heart to God’s voice. Set aside time to seek Him intentionally. As you do, you will discover that His presence is not distant instead it is constant, faithful, and deeply personal. As you learn to recognize His work in your life, may your testimony inspire others to seek Him too.
When reading the Bible, we could find several promises given to us by the Lord.
Hebrew 11:11 speaks about the agonizing period faced by Sarah, the wife of Abraham, God’s servant. She was then 90 years old! As we read in Genesis 18:11, Sarah had passed the age of child bearing and as such there was absolutely no way for her to conceive a child and she was in a pitiable state. It is at this juncture, God gives a promise to Abraham, as we read in Genesis 17:5, “I have made you a father of many nations.” Contrary to hope, God graciously enabled both Abraham, who was 100 years old and Sarah, who was 90 years old, to beget a boy child! He did a great miracle for this couple and proved that, “He, who promised is faithful” (Hebrews 10:23) and thus blessed them.
Dear ones! Even today, the Lord is unchanging in His power. If you read the Bible diligently, you can find several promises given there. Just as how the Lord gave a promise to Abraham and Sarah, you may also find many promises that are relevant to your situations. If you claim these promises for
yourselves, the Lord will surely answer your prayer and lead you in a blessed way.
THE LORD’S REST
The Bible says that “…since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear…” (Hebrews 4:1). The Lord is able to fulfil His promise. According to I John 2:25, “this is the promise that He has promised us – eternal life.”
“...having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness and the end, everlasting life.” (Romans 6:22)
In order that everyone of us should receive this divine experience, the Lord Jesus was incarnate in this world, as a Man, according to the will of God, suffered on the cross, shed His blood and brought us redemption by sacrificing His life.
Saul, who was once a son of perdition testifies in Galatians 2:20, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; …now, by faith in the Son of God, I have become a vessel of mercy” (Romans 9:23).
In this Lenten period, we are meditating on how the Lord Jesus humbled Himself to the lowest level, suffered on the cross, shed His
blood and offered Himself as a living sacrifice. Thus, by His sacrifice and by the shedding of His own blood, He fulfilled His divine promise, “I will give you eternal life.” By this, we receive ‘salvation’ given by Him and rejoice in Him!
In His grace, the Lord gave His precious salvation to Bro. Dhinakaran, the Founder of the Jesus Calls ministry and blessed Him with rest. As a result, He, who promised, has been faithful to change us all as His own, wonderfully leading us in the way of His rest and is now enabling us to do His ministry as a family. Is this divine promise of eternal life fulfilled in your life? Are you also, as a family living in this rest? Examine yourself! Also check yourself as to whether this world and the flesh have thrown you into darkness. If so, kneel down in reverence, confess all your shortcomings and sins at His feet in all humility, look up to the cross and receive His blessings pertaining to eternal life. The Lord Jesus, who is rich in mercy, will have compassion on you, forgive your sins and filth, wash you by His divine blood, sanctify you and make you as His own. He will fill you with His new life.
HE WILL KEEP HIS PROMISE AND FULFIL IT
King David had the desire to build a temple for the Lord. As seen in I kings 8:19, God said to him, “You shall not build the temple, but your son, who will come from your body, he shall build the temple for My name.” Accordingly, God fulfilled David’s wishes in the days of Solomon, his son, who tells the Lord, “You have kept what you promised Your servant David, my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day.”
(I Kings 8:24)
Thus saying, He offered his supplications and prayers to Him. Finally, He praises and glorifies God saying, “Blessed be the Lord, who
has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised.”
Yes, dear ones, when we too would read the Bible diligently and reverentially, memorize His promises and keep them in our hearts, and claim them for ourselves and pray at times of needs in our lives, the faithful God will fulfil them and bless us. Do we read the Bible diligently and with reverence? Perhaps, we may read it for a few minutes, as a routine and if so, we can never get any benefit from it. Rather, we deceive ourselves.
Several years back, a family had invited my husband to pray for their newly constructed house. Despite his tight schedule in his job, he decided to visit them in the morning, on his way to the office and pray for them. So, both of us went there and since my husband was on his way to the office, he had not taken his Bible. So, he asked that family to bring them their Bible. They, whose house was beautifully decorated, with all facilities, were taken aback and looked at one another and started to search for one, frantically. Finally, after several minutes, they brought a Bible, covered with a film of dust. They hurriedly dusted it and handed over it to my husband. How would the Lord dwell in such a house? How could His blessings be there? Within a short span, this family lost their blessings and vanished.
So, dear ones, be very careful in walking reverentially before the Lord.
“Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in His ways.”
(Psalm 128:1; 112:1)
“Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman, who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.” (Proverbs 31:30)
“He will bless those who fear the Lord, both small and great.” (Psalm 115:13)
“But to you, who fear My name, the Sun of righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings, and you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves.”
(Malachi 4:2)
Yes, dear ones, hold on to the promises of the Lord, being filled with divine reverence and plead to Him. The Lord will surely heed such supplications, fill you with His abundant blessings and lead you!
HE SHALL SHOWER HIS HOLY SPIRIT
He would make us also into divine vessels that would be of blessing to many people and bring glory to His name. Have you received this life of yielding fruits for His glory, being filled with this divine fire, through His promise?
“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
(Luke 11:13)
If you hold on to this promise and pray to Him, the faithful God would fill you with anointing, both personally and as a family and use you for the glory of His name.
“Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.”
(Acts 2:33)
In Acts 10:38, don’t we read that the Lord Jesus Christ received this experience first, and has set us an example? His life is an example to us (I Peter 2:21). If we also walk reverentially in the divine path, shown by Him, He will make us arise as a fruit yielding tree and shine for the glory of His name.
When this promise was fulfilled in life of the Lord Jesus Christ and when He received the Holy Spirit, He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil. Similarly,
In our family, we have received this divine blessing by His immense grace and today each one of us are shining for the Lord. My dear children of God, you should also look up to the Lord with godly zeal, as an individual and as a family, no matter what your age is, and receive His blessings.
Particularly, read the Bible with reverence, every day. If you do this every morning, it would be of great blessing to you and you shall be filled with His presence. Apart from receiving the promises which are revealed through that, it is certain that you would also receive many spiritual blessings and good things of this world as well as the blessing of being filled with His presence and led by Him.

The Ghatkopar Prayer Tower serves as a beacon of hope for people across Mumbai and the surrounding districts who come seeking healing, guidance, peace, and restoration.
No trace of cancer….
Just two months ago, my brother Ronak suddenly fell seriously ill. He was suffering from continuous bleeding while passing urine. After the initial medical tests, the doctors gave us devastating news that they suspect a third stage bladder cancer. Desperate for hope, we consulted several specialists and even sought opinions from experts in America. Sadly, every medical opinion pointed to the same painful possibility of a tumor. Our family was broken, fearful, and uncertain about what the future would hold. In the midst of this storm, we turned to Jesus Calls Ghatkopar Prayer Tower for prayer support. We also anointed my brother with the blessed oil (James 5:14), believing in the healing power of Jesus. When the final medical reports arrived, every single report came back completely negative. There was no tumor, no cancer, nothing at all. Today, my brother is perfectly healthy, and our hearts overflow with gratitude. All glory, honor, and praise belong to Jesus Christ and the Jesus Calls ministry for their earnest prayers. - Ankita Shah, Ghatkopar
This is just one among the many testimonies that arise through the ministry of the Ghatkopar Prayer Tower. Till date, over 3 million lives have been impacted through this Prayer Tower. We prayerfully invite partners and believers who have a burden for God’s work to join us in serving the Lord.
