More than 6,000 people from across India gathered at the Bethesda Prayer Centre, Coimbatore, on July 11 for the Bethesda Blessing Meeting, where an atmosphere of faith, worship, and prayer filled the place as people experienced God's presence and His miracle-working power.

Ministering from John 11:40, Samuel Dhinakaran encouraged everyone to believe in God's promises and witness His glory.

Many were strengthened as powerful testimonies of answered prayers and miraculous interventions were shared, inspiring everyone to trust God for the impossible. The ministers of God also united in prayer over the prayer oil, seeking the Lord's healing and blessings upon all who would use it.

A special highlight of the evening was the launch of the Youth Blessing Plan, a prayer initiative for young people aged 22–35. The plan was introduced to strengthen the next generation through focused prayer, covering every area of

life, including their spiritual growth, higher education, careers, finances, marriage, family life and future. Following this, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran shared from Genesis 12:2–3, proclaiming that God delights in blessing His people and making them channels of His blessing to others.

Led by the Holy Spirit, he ministered prophetically, calling out individuals by name, revealing their needs, and praying for healing, deliverance, restoration, and divine intervention.

The Lord moved powerfully as many testified to His supernatural touch. Chronic illnesses were completely healed, a couple joyfully testified to the gift of a child, those bound by longstanding struggles experienced deliverance, and a person who was unable to walk freely received divine strength and walked without difficulty. The meeting concluded with Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and Samuel Dhinakaran personally praying for every individual who had gathered, declaring God's blessings over each life and family. Many returned home with renewed faith, rejoicing in the Lord who still hears every prayer, performs miracles, and transforms lives.

The Sunday Blessing Meeting, held on June 28 at the Dr. D.G.S. Dhinakaran Memorial Prayer Tower, brought together nearly 1,500 people to seek the Lord.

Those gathered were greatly encouraged as testimonies of the miracles God had performed through the ministry were shared.

A special highlight was the celebration of Katelyn's birthday, as the congregation thanked God for raising her as a young vessel for His glory. Sharing from Deuteronomy 31:8, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran assured everyone that the Lord goes before His children, preparing their way and turning impossibilities into testimonies. During the prayer time, the Holy Spirit moved powerfully as Dr. Paul called out names prophetically and prayed with divine precision. He later spent hours personally praying for everyone present. Lives were touched, many weary hearts were strengthened, and God was glorified.

Commemorating the 12th Anniversary of the Anna Nagar Prayer Tower, a blessed Sunday Blessing Meeting was held on July 5 at ECI Christ Church, Anna Nagar, where God's people gathered to rejoice in His faithfulness and grace. The congregation was encouraged as powerful testimonies of answered prayers through the Prayer Tower ministry were shared. Preaching from 2 Samuel 7:9, Samuel Dhinakaran assured everyone that the Lord restores families, revives lost blessings, blesses future generations, and makes His people's names great.

During prayer, he prayed with authority, rebuking the powers of darkness behind physical ailments and praying for healing, deliverance, and God's abiding presence in every home. The Holy Spirit moved mightily, touching hearts as many were moved to tears by the Lord’s presence. The meeting concluded with people experiencing God in a personal way and returning home strengthened in faith, giving all glory to Him.

Our God gathers everything that has been scattered in your life, restores everything that has been broken, and builds you up again with His every blessing, in every area of your life.

Naomi felt the same way. She left her homeland with hope but returned empty, having lost her husband, her sons, and almost everything she held dear (Ruth 1:20–21).

In her pain, she cried, “Do not call me Naomi… Call me Mara, because the Almighty has made my life very bitter.” Yet the Lord did not leave her in bitterness. He restored her joy, rebuilt her life, her family and blessed her beyond what she had lost (Ruth 4:13–17).

The same God who restored Naomi is speaking to you today: “Do not be afraid. I will restore you.”

Everything that has gone away from you, everything and everyone that has been stolen or snatched from your life, shall be restored by the Lord. Even those who have been separated from you will be brought back by His mighty hand. Therefore, let not your heart be troubled.

4

THE LORD WILL GATHER YOU AGAIN The words “He will have compassion on you” reveal the loving heart of God. Indeed, He is full of compassion for you. Even if life has taken you to places you never expected, the Lord has not forgotten you.

Isaiah 11:12 says, “He will raise a banner for the nations (you)…. He will assemble the scattered people of Judah (you) from the four quarters of the earth.” This means there is no place too far, no situation too difficult, and no loss too great for the Lord to restore.

Also, Jeremiah 29:14 says, “I will be found by you… and will bring you back from captivity.” Perhaps you are not in physical captivity, but inwardly you feel bound by fear, rejection, loneliness, guilt, or sorrow. Today, the Lord says, “I will set you free from every captivity.” The very place where you experienced rejection will become the place where God honours you.

Pradeesh, though he worked faithfully, lost his job suddenly. His heart was filled with pain and uncertainty about the future. In that shattered state, he came to the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower and cried before the Lord as the prayer intercessor prayed with him there. God answered through a miracle. He was called back to the very same company where he had faced disappointment, but this time he was provided a higher salary and greater honour in the same office. What the enemy meant for loss, God turned into a blessing. The Lord can do the same for you.

As mentioned in Zephaniah 3:19, He will bring you out of captivity and lead you into a land flowing with milk and honey, a place of abundance, peace, and divine favour. He will indeed restore your job, rebuild your career, revive your calling, your family and honour you once again.

Ezekiel 11:17 declares, “I will gather you Jesus Calls International

from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered.” Not only will God restore what you lost, but He will also enlarge your territory and establish you in greater honour than before.

So, be of good cheer.

WHY IS THE LORD RESTORING YOU? The answer is simple. He is your Shepherd. Jesus said, “I am the Good Shepherd.” A good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep. Our Lord Jesus Christ laid down His life for you on the cross.

He shed His precious blood not only to forgive your sins, but also to bring you into His fold and keep you close to His heart.

That is why the Lord will never leave you wounded, broken, or abandoned. He longs to draw you back into His loving embrace and make you whole again.

Ezekiel 34:13 says, “I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land; I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land.”

Perhaps you are feeling like a sheep without direction, confused and burdened. Here, the Lord reveals His loving heart as the Good Shepherd. He does not merely gather His sheep from where they have been scattered, but brings them back to their rightful place, where they can live in safety, peace, and abundance.

Matthew 9:35–36 says that Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness. When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Jesus (God in flesh) comforted the brokenhearted, healed the sick, delivered the oppressed, and restored people to wholeness. The same Jesus is looking at you today with that same

compassion. He understands your struggles.

He sees your silent tears.

I was deeply encouraged by a testimony shared

by Alok Kujur. He wrote: “For several years, I suffered from a painful ear condition called CSOM. Though I underwent surgery once, the problem returned after a year, and my doctor advised another surgery. At the same time, I had an important departmental promotion exam ahead of me. I was deeply troubled, wondering whether I should undergo surgery again or focus on preparing for the exam. During that difficult time, my younger sister contacted the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower and requested prayer for my healing and for my exam. As a prayer intercessor prayed for me, she prayed with authority, saying, ‘Your ear is healed in the name of Jesus.’ From that very moment, the discharge from my ear stopped completely. When I visited the doctor again, he was amazed at what he saw. Till today, I am completely fine and able to focus on my future.”

The same Jesus who healed Alok is still working miracles even today. Such is the compassion of our Good Shepherd. He still heals the sick, restores the broken, and fills His children with hope. And today, He is lovingly calling you, saying, “Come to Me.”

YOUR GOOD SHEPHERD IS CALLING YOU In Luke 13:34, Jesus says, “How often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings.” This is the heart of God. He longs to gather you under His wings, protect you, comfort you, and give you rest.

Perhaps you have drifted far away from the Lord. Pain, disappointment, or sin may have created distance between you and Him. You may feel unworthy to return. You may think, “After all I have done, how can I come back to God?” But the love of Jesus is greater than your failures. No matter how far you have gone, Jesus is calling you back today. He wants to forgive you, cleanse you, and receive you as His own child.

Without Jesus, there is no way to heaven, because He alone shed His blood on the cross for your sins. The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. No one else paid that price for you. No one else conquered death and rose again on the third day. That is why even the thief on the cross cried out, “Jesus, remember me.” In that very moment, the Lord opened the door of paradise for him. In the same way, if you turn to Jesus today, He will open heaven for you and fill your life with His grace.

Today, He is coming to you. He says, “You are My sheep. I am your Good Shepherd. I will care for you. I will cleanse you with My blood.

I will make you holy. You are Mine.” Will you come to Him today? Give your heart to Jesus.

Ask Him to be your Shepherd, and He will never reject you. Give up the ways of the world and turn over your life totally to Jesus, determined to live a sanctified life as His sheep.

HE WILL RESTORE YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR FUTURE Who will be gathered and restored by the Lord? First, your family members.

Acts 16:31 says, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” When you trust the Lord and place your faith in Him, His saving grace can touch your household as well. God is able to gather your family members to Himself and transform them as His children.

Think about the prodigal son. He lost everything because of sin. He wasted all that his father gave him and eventually reached a place of humiliation and brokenness. But at his lowest point, his eyes were opened. He remembered his father’s house and decided to return. He planned to ask only to be accepted as a servant. But when his father saw him from

AUGUST 2026

| www.jesuscalls.org

afar, he ran toward him with compassion and cried out, “My son!” He clothed him with the best robe, restored him to sonship, placed a ring on his finger, and celebrated his return with a feast.

This is what the Lord will do for your children, too. I am reminded of a mother named Keziyal from Gudiyatham in Vellore, who shared a touching testimony with us. Her son had fallen into destructive habits and was suffering greatly. As a mother, she watched him drift farther and farther away, and her heart was filled with pain and helplessness. In that desperate situation, she came to the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower and cried out with the prayer intercessors fervently for him, pleading with the Lord to intervene. The Lord answered those cries, and within just two days, her son was completely delivered from those addictions.

What seemed impossible to man became possible with God. No child is too far gone for the Good Shepherd.

That is why we carry a deep burden in our hearts to see children and young people walk closely with Jesus, the Good Shepherd and fulfill His higher purpose for their lives.

With this burden, we uphold children through the YOUNG PARTNERS PLAN from birth to 21 years, and young adults through the YOUTH BLESSING PLAN from 22 to 35, covering them in prayer for divine protection, wisdom, and prosperity. If it is your desire for your children or grandchildren to be blessed, kindly enrol them in these plans.

As Psalm 23 promises, your Good Shepherd will lead you beside still waters and green pastures. He will renew your strength, refresh your spirit, and guide you in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

FROM SHAME TO HONOUR Finally, the Lord will turn your shame into honour as He rebuilds every broken area of your life. He will restore your family life and make you whole again.

Isaiah 62:4 says, “No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate.

But you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the Lord will take delight in you.”

Today, people may call you deserted. They may say your life is broken. They may say nothing good can happen for you anymore. But the Lord says, “No! I call you Hephzibah. I delight in you.”

Separated families will be restored. Broken relationships will be healed. Those waiting for marriage will be blessed. Those longing for children will rejoice. The Lord, your Good Shepherd, is concerned about every burden, every tear, and every unanswered prayer.

Magthalin from Chennai says, “My sister Lilly and her husband were separated for three years because of misunderstandings. Burdened by this broken relationship, I regularly visited the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower and prayed earnestly for their reconciliation. At that time, we met Dr Paul Dhinakaran, and he prayed for our family and rebuked the powers of darkness, saying, “I rebuke the power of the devil over this family.” By God’s miraculous grace, just two days later, my sister Lilly’s husband returned home. Today, Lilly and her husband are fully reconciled and are living together joyfully as a family”.

My friend, what the Lord did for Lilly’s family, He will surely do for yours as well.

He will restore everything that you have lost.

PRAYER: Loving Father, let every scattered heart and broken family be restored by Your mighty hand. Let Jesus, our Good Shepherd, lead each person who reads this into peace, honour, and abundant blessings. Amen.

The people of God sang these words after seeing the mighty hand of the Lord move on their behalf. Though enemies rose against them, the Lord Himself fought for them and gave them peace. In the same way, whatever battle your family may be facing today, you do not have to fight it alone. The Lord is with you, and He will fight for you.

Many families today carry burdens that no one else sees. Behind smiles and daily routines, there may

10

be silent pain. Some homes are weighed down by misunderstandings between husband and wife, or between parents and children. Others struggle with financial pressure, sickness, emotional wounds, or loneliness.

Perhaps the peace that once filled your home has slowly faded away. But dear one, the Lord sees every hidden tear and knows every silent cry. Today, He lovingly says, “Give this burden to Me. Let Me fight this battle for you.”

David understood this truth deeply. That is why he cried out in Psalm 57:2, “I cry out to God Most High, to God who performs all things

for me.” Some battles in our families cannot be resolved by words alone or by human wisdom. They need the intervention of God. Think about Mary and Martha. When Lazarus died, sorrow filled their home. Their hearts were broken, and everything seemed lost. Yet when Jesus came, He entered into their sorrow and wept with them.

But Jesus did not stop with tears. He stepped into their impossible situation and called Lazarus out of the grave. What seemed hopeless was turned around by His power.

In the same way, the Lord can step into the painful situations in your family even today.

He can breathe life into relationships that seem dead, restore love where there is hurt, and bring hope where there seems to be none.

THE SECRET TO A BLESSED FAMILY How can we continue to live in this peace?

Proverbs 28:14 says, “Blessed and favoured

by God is the man who fears Him at all times.”

To fear God does not mean to be afraid of Him. It means to honour Him, depend on Him, and walk in obedience to His Word.

Once, I saw a beautiful sunflower field.

Every sunflower was turned towards the sun, as though looking upward to heaven. That day, the sunflower taught me a precious lesson.

Just as the sunflower keeps turning towards the sun, we too must keep looking to the Lord for everything.

In the same way, every family must learn to look to God in every matter. Whether it is raising children, making important decisions, carrying financial responsibilities, or facing conflicts, we must depend on Him for everything. Then His blessing will rest upon our home.

Psalm 138:8 says, “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me.” What a comforting promise! When we keep our eyes on Him, He takes responsibility for everything concerning our family.

WHEN JESUS ENTERED THEIR BATTLE I was deeply touched by the testimony of Daisy Rani, a headmistress and a faithful member of the Family Blessing Plan for twenty years.

Suddenly, their family entered a difficult season. They came under spiritual oppression through witchcraft. Fear gripped Daisy Rani’s heart, and tormenting voices constantly filled her mind, saying, “You are useless. You have no strength. You will fail.”

Day by day, this burden grew heavier. Fear, anxiety, and emotional pain overshadowed their home. She struggled to focus on her family and work and lived in constant distress.

During this painful time, she came to the Bethesda Prayer Centre seeking prayer. As I prayed for her and laid my hands on her, I rebuked the evil powers in the name of Jesus and prayed, “Lord Jesus, please set Your daughter free. Let every spirit of fear leave her completely.”

And in that very moment, the Lord performed a miracle. Daisy Rani experienced complete deliverance. The spirit of fear left her through the powerful name of Jesus. The heaviness that had oppressed her lifted completely. The Lord filled her with His peace and renewed her strength. She returned home restored in body, mind, and spirit. The peace and health that had been stolen from their family were restored by the mercy of God. Beloved, the same Jesus is visiting your home today. Whatever may be stealing your peace, whether sickness, misunderstanding, oppression, worry, or emotional pain, the Lord is able to remove it. He is the Prince of Peace.

Even now, the Lord is stretching out His loving hand over your family. He will remove every burden, break every chain, and restore His peace in your home. Very soon, your family too will rejoice and say, “The Lord has done great things for us.” So hold on to Him. Trust Him. Fear Him. Let Him lead your family.

The Lord will defend your home, and His peace shall reign in your family.

Dear Partner in the ministry, Greetings to you in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

“The Lord builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the exiles of Israel.”

(Psalm 147:2) What a comforting promise! Our God is still restoring lives, rebuilding what has been broken, and gathering those who have wandered with His unfailing love. Every life transformed through this ministry is a testimony of His faithfulness, and your partnership has made you a part of that miracle.

YOUR PARTNERSHIP IN ACTION Over the past few weeks, the Lord has turned every Blessing Meeting into a glorious testimony of His faithfulness.

At our Sunday Blessing Meeting on June 21 at New Life JEMS Church, Chromepet, Chennai, nearly 1,000 people gathered as Samuel Dhinakaran shared God's life-transforming Word.

The following Sunday, June 28, around 1,500 people attended the Sunday Blessing Meeting at the Dr. D.G.S. Dhinakaran Memorial Prayer Tower, where I had the privilege of ministering God's Word, and many experienced His healing, deliverance, and prophetic encouragement. On July 5, the 12th Anniversary Blessing Meeting of the Anna Nagar Prayer Tower was a joyful celebration of God's faithfulness as testimonies of answered prayers filled our hearts with thanksgiving.

The Lord continued to move powerfully at the Bethesda Blessing Meeting on July 11, where more than 6,000 people from across India gathered at Bethesda Prayer Centre to experience His presence and miraculous power.

On July 12, Samuel Dhinakaran ministered at the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower, Avinashi, Coimbatore, where God's Word brought strength and encouragement to all who gathered. The same day, I had the joy of ministering at the 30th Anniversary Celebration of Carmel Prayer Tower,

Coimbatore, where God's presence moved mightily, bringing great blessing to the congregation.

In all these Blessing Meetings, the Lord revealed His unfailing love and power through us. We praise Him for every prophetic word He spoke, every testimony He raised, and every miracle He performed. Families were restored, the sick were healed, couples rejoiced over the gift of children, impossible prayers were answered, and many returned home with renewed faith and hope.

We also thank God for the uninterrupted live telecasts of these meetings through our digital and social media platforms, which enabled countless people to join online and receive His blessings.

BUILDING LIVES THROUGH THE MINISTRY

By God's grace, the ministry continues to bring hope to countless lives every day. Last month

alone, nearly 140,000 people received prayer at our Prayer Towers, while almost 353,000 callers were ministered to through our 24×7 Prayer Helplines, and 35,200 people found comfort through the Dial-A-Prayer service.

Through 64 outreach meetings, Rise & Build Special Blessing Meet-ings, and Mission Network gatherings, nearly 120,000 people were strengthened by God's Word and prayer. We also thank God for the 3,500 children and young people who were nurtured through our Youth Meetings and Kids Club ministries. In addition, nearly 60,900 letters and emails were prayerfully responded to.

The Lord also continued to expand His work through our digital ministry. More than 100,000 people were blessed through the Jesus Calls website and mobile app, while our social media platforms reached over 30.2 million people with the message of Christ's love. At the same time, our Jesus Calls magazines and e-magazines reached nearly 300,000 readers, and we had the joy of personally praying for 45,570 Young Partners on their birthdays and 14,880 Family Blessing Plan partners on their wedding anniversaries.

43 YEARS OF UNCEASING PRAYER "Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place."

(2 Chronicles 7:15) This year, we joyfully celebrate 43 years of the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower Ministry. What began as a single tower of prayer has now, by His grace, grown into 102 Prayer Towers across India, where thousands of people come every day to experience the Lord's love, comfort, and mercy.

For over four decades, our dedicated prayer intercessors have been praying without ceasing for all who come seeking God's help. As people pour out their burdens before the Lord, He answers with miracles, healing, restoration, and hope. Countless lives have been transformed through the power of prayer, and we praise God for His unfailing faithfulness.

One such testimony comes from Abinaya, who joyfully shares: "My father suffered an eye injury, and a lump developed as a result. When the doctors suspected it could be cancer, fear gripped our hearts. We immediately contacted the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower and sought the Lord in prayer. By God's grace, the doctors confirmed it was not cancer, and soon after, the lump completely disappea-red. We praise God for this wonderful miracle."

This is just one among the hundreds of Jesus Calls International

testimonies that continue to rise through the Prayer Tower ministry.

As more and more people come seeking comfort, healing, and God's intervention, the need to expand our Prayer Towers continues to grow. To meet this need, the Ranchi Prayer Tower is being renovated to provide a larger and more welcoming place where many more people can receive personal prayer and experience God's presence and miracles.

If the Lord leads you, I invite you to prayerfully support this vision. Please turn to page 17 to learn more about the Ranchi Prayer Tower renovation and how you can be a part of this work.

PRAYER ACADEMY: 5TH BATCH OF THE PRAYER & PROPHETIC EMPOWERMENT COURSE BEGINS "...to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up."

(Ephesians 4:12) We are delighted to share with you that the 5th Batch of the Prayer & Prophetic Empowerment (PPE) Course was prayerfully inaugurated on 22nd June at the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower and is progressing wonderfully by God's grace.

Over 300 believers have successfully completed the first four batches of this six-month course.

partners enrolled in this Blessing Plan. We thank God for the many testimonies He has raised over the years. Time and again, the Lord has honoured the faith and the sacrificial offering of our Job Blessing Plan partners by opening new doors, granting promotions, restoring opportunities, and performing miracles in their professional lives.

Jhansi, who enrolled her son in the Job Blessing Plan, joyfully shared that the Lord brought a remarkable breakthrough in his career. After 10 long years of pursuing a government job, the Lord opened the door for him to successfully pass the government examination, and he is now serving in a Central Government position.

If you are longing for a career breakthrough, we are here to uphold you in prayer. You, too, can enrol in the Job Blessing Plan by visiting www.jesuscalls.org.

COUPLE ESTHER PRAYER GROUP (CEPG) “Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth concerning anything they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.”

(Matthew 18:19) August 21 marks a special day for my beloved mother, Sis. Stella Dhinakaran, as it was on this day that she gave her heart to the Lord and dedicated her life to His service.

Led by the Lord, she began the Couple Esther Prayer Group (CEPG) on August 5, 2017, with a vision to encourage husbands and wives to seek God together in unity. Last year alone, 60 new families joined CEPG, increasing the fellowship to a total of 210 couples united in prayer. As couples continue to seek the Lord together, they are experiencing restored relationships, divine breakthroughs, renewed love, and God's abundant blessings in their homes.

A MIRACULOUS JOB TRANSFER "For four years, I was posted at ONGC, Hazira, Surat, while serving as a Central Government employee in the CISF. Being so far from my hometown made it difficult to spend time with my family.

In December 2025, I came to the Ranchi Prayer Tower, prayed with the prayer intercessors, and submitted my prayer request, desperately seeking the Lord for a transfer to a place closer to home.

The Lord miraculously answered the prayers, and within just two months, I received my annual posting to Delhi DMRC in February 2026.

I praise God for His faithfulness and thank the Ranchi Prayer Tower for standing with me in prayer."

- Solomon, Jharkhand

"Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified," says the Lord. - Haggai 1:8 The Ranchi Prayer Tower has been a place where thousands have experienced God's love, comfort, and miracle-working power. As more people continue to come seeking His intervention, the Lord has led us to prayerfully expand and strengthen this Prayer Tower.

As part of this vision, we are renovating the wornout facilities and equipping the Prayer Tower with modern amenities, including digital LED displays and digital audio systems, to create a welcoming and uplifting worship environment that will inspire people of every generation, especially young people, to encounter the Lord. We want to offer our very best to the Lord by making His house a place that reflects excellence and continues to transform lives.

To complete this God-given vision, a faith budget of Rs. 3 Crore is needed. Through this expansion, we prayerfully look forward to ministering to thousands more people from Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh who come seeking God's intervention. Your generous offering will help countless lives experience His love, receive comfort, and witness His miracles.

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse...

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.

My friend, God has a wonderful promise that He wants to fulfill in your life this month.

We see it in Ephesians 1:4–5: "For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ."

Think about that! Even before you were born, God chose you to become His son and His daughter, and He desires to be your Father, to walk beside you every step of the way.

personally lead you to walk closely with Him and be blameless before Him, so that when people see you, they will say, "I can truly see that he is the son, she is the daughter of Jesus. I can see Jesus in him."

That’s the beautiful work of the Father in your life.

THREE WAYS GOD SHAPES YOU AS HIS SON AND DAUGHTER

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE GOD'S SON OR DAUGHTER?

"In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins... in accordance with the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us." - Ephesians 1:7 Let's be honest. Everyone struggles. We make mistakes. We fail. Sometimes we even drift away from God. But His grace is greater than our failures.

Imagine having a father who is completely committed to your life. He will do all that it takes for your life to prosper, and at the same time, he will make sure that you walk in the ways he knows are right.

Similarly, your Heavenly Father is going to

20

HE COVERS YOU WITH HIS GRACE

God’s rich grace will cover your life and rescue you from the pit of sin. The more you try to run away, the more His tremendous grace continues to reach for you. He will never let you fall or be destroyed by sin. He will pull you back to His side. That is the greatest blessing of being God's son and daughter.

So, when you fail, don't run from God; instead, run to Him. Thank Him for His unfailing mercy, and always remember that your identity is found in Jesus.

HE REVEALS HIS PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE "With all wisdom and understanding, He made known to us the mystery of His will..."

- Ephesians 1:8–9

in life, pray first. Read a portion of God's Word each day and ask, "Lord, what are You teaching me today?" Trust in His direction and timing.

HE CHANGES YOUR CHARACTER "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."

- Galatians 5:22–23 God does not only change where you are going. He also changes who you are becoming.

As His Spirit works within you, your nature is going to be transformed to be like Jesus, in the likeness of His image, full of love, full of joy, peace, kindness, self-control, and gentleness.

You yourself will be surprised by the

One of the most common questions young people ask is: "What career should I choose?

Which course should I study? What is God's plan for my future?" My friend, God already knows.

As His sons and daughters, He promises to lead you according to the purpose for which He created you.

A renowned missionary, Charles Thomas Studd, is a perfect example of this. As a young man, he had everything the world had to offer, including a successful cricket career, wealth, and recognition. Yet when God revealed His purpose for his life, Studd joyfully surrendered it all to follow Christ's call. What seemed like giving up everything in his life became the very path through which God used him to bless countless lives around the world.

In the same way, God knows the purpose He has for your life. You don't have to wonder if you're on the right path. As He leads you, you'll discover the work you were created to do. There will be joy, fulfillment, and confidence because you're walking in God's perfect will.

So, before you make an important decision Jesus Calls International

changes to your nature. You will wonder, "I am such an angry person, but God has made me show kindness instead. All my jealousy has gone, and now I am so content and peaceful."

These are the fruit of God's Spirit growing in you.

When people see your life, they will begin to see the Father through you.

So, my friend, ask yourself today, "Am I reflecting Jesus in my life? Do my friends see kindness, peace, and self-control in me?”

As you remain close to the Father, He will continue His beautiful work in your life until people can clearly see Jesus reflected through you.

Walk confidently as His beloved child.

Dear friend, I believe that a lot of us experience this in our daily life, be it words of discouragement, words of hurt, or words of disrespect. It might come from our friends, our classmates, the people in our school. Or it may be from our family members, our relatives, our neighbours or sometimes from our co-workers, our managers, our bosses and sometimes even from our very close and loved ones. All these words may hurt us in our hearts. As Proverbs 19:11 says, “A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.”

Sometimes, responding with patience and wisdom is not weakness, but strength.

So how do we deal with it in various situations?

24

When it comes to our college or our school, people might disrespect us or make fun of us a lot of times. They might try to put us to shame. Their only intention might be to spoil our name, and they will do anything and everything that they can to upset us.

Sometimes it may be because of what they are going through. They could be hurt themselves, or they might possess some ulterior motive against us.

What I would suggest in these kinds of situations is to just separate yourself from them. The more we interact with them, the more opportunities we give them to disrespect us further. It is best to spend our time with our friends, with our loved ones and people who understand us. Trying to save face will keep us from focusing on what we need to do in that moment. Focus on your studies or spend time with the people who really know you.

When you don't give them power or time, they will also feel tired and forget it eventually.

What do we do when it happens in our home? Maybe it comes from our family members, our relatives saying hurtful words because we don't have a child for a long time.

Or saying that we are too picky because we cannot find a life partner. Or you may be suffering with having no job for a long time.

Or because you were let go, or because you were fired, or because you quit. They might make you feel like something is wrong with you and that you are not good enough. They might even make fun of your appearance and make you feel tiny.

In those situations, it is best to put on a smile and be nice to everybody. Because the Lord knows what you are going through in your heart. He knows what you are going through in your life. Maybe He is preparing you for a great blessing, so that in the same place where you are going through shame, God will give you praise and honour. Be patient. Don't go running around telling people what is going on in your life and trying to defend yourself.

God will fight your battles, and you shall hold your peace.

You may say, "I can avoid people's words when it is not affecting my day-to-day life. But what if I must work with those people? I am answerable to my boss. I am answerable to my co-workers. And they are treating me this way so how can I work with them at a close level?"

If this is happening in your workplace, do your personal best in your job. Concentrate and give your best in the work that you do. Don't hold a grudge against somebody. Don't try to

Jesus Calls International

|

bring them down. Don't take revenge on people. But focus on the work that is in front of you. God will reward your sincerity, and praise and honour will come after you.

Even in my friend's case, she was a junior doctor. Because of her skills and excellent work, the head doctor would train her and have her assist him in many cases. She found favour with all the staff, the nurses and even the patients.

But the director of the company didn't like what was happening. He was trying to demean her, destroy her character, and make fun of her in front of everybody. But she never bothered about it. Although it was hurtful for her, she never showed it in her work. She was very sincere and kept going. As a result, God blessed her with many more cases. People were asking for just her, even though there were more senior doctors. God raised her up amid those hurtful situations. Now she is in a different country, and God is making her shine in her life. God led her life in a beautiful way, and now everybody is looking at her and rejoicing.

That is what we see in Proverbs 16:7: "When a man's ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."

None of those words will touch you. You are way higher than that. God will lift you up in such a great high position that none of those words and those hurtful situations will be able to touch you. You are called for a great purpose.

Persevere in your work. Persevere in your life.

Keep your actions pure, your words pure and your thoughts pure. God will lift you up in the same place where you faced shame. You are called for a greater purpose. Be of good cheer, my friend.

The state of ‘Rejoicing in the Lord’ is a blessed life, given by God. “…the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.”

(I John 5:19) “He (devil, the enemy), has made me dwell in darkness.”

(Psalm 143:3) “Your adversary the devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”

(I Peter 5:8) Departing from such darkness and living with Jesus, the Light is a blessed life. In John 4 th chapter, we read about the sinful but pitiable life of a Samaritan woman. Filled with the lusts and passions of this world, she was living in darkness. However, we read how she came to the Lord and received a divine life of brightness and good fruits and testimony, through His living words.

THE RIGHTEOUS REJOICE EXCEEDINGLY (Psalm 68:3) The Angels of God proclaimed the good news of Christ’s birth to the shepherds and made them rejoice. Yes, Jesus was born as the Saviour in this world.

Today, how many of you or how many families know about the Lord Jesus Christ and are filled with the joy of the salvation, which He has given us through His crucifixion and 26

shedding of blood on the cross?

Once, the Lord, who was sojourning in this world, being incarnate as a Man, passed through a city called Jericho. That time, a man by name Zacchaeus, who was short in stature and who was a chief tax collector met Him and received His salvation, joy and peace along with his family. Don’t we read about this in Luke 19:110? Because of the intense desire in his heart, he was able to receive this divine life.

Today, how many of you would like to ‘see the Lord and know Him’ like Zacchaeus? Even today, such people and their families would be filled with His salvation which would bring them joy and blessings in abundance.

A young woman, who absolutely had no knowledge of knowing the Lord, sought after only the blessings of the world and was living in a pitiable state. As a result, she had lost all her happiness and was in a confused state, suffering in pain and agony. At this juncture, she began to notice the life of one of her friends, who was always filled with joy as she was God fearing and was holding on to Him. Seeing this divine life of joy and happiness, this girl also started seeking God diligently as a result of which she too was filled with joy and received the Lord’s blessings fully.

Dearly beloved, particularly, young women.

Read the lives of men of God like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Bible. They sought the

AUGUST 2026

| www.jesuscalls.org

Lord faithfully and in reverence and hence received a joyful and happy life. Accordingly, in order to receive this divine life, you should also humble yourself and commit your life to the Lord.

REJOICING IN HOPE (Romans 12:12) David says in Psalm 26:1, “I have also trusted in the Lord; I shall not slip.” In Psalm 23:1, he clearly states about the blessings in his life thus: “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.” He boldly says in Psalm 56:4,11, “In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid.

What can man do to me?” Accordingly, even when he had lost everything and was left with nothing, he had steadfast trust on the Lord because of which he recovered all that he had lost, as seen in I Samuel 30:19. The reason for this was nothing but the strong trust David had on the Lord God. What does he say in Psalm 62:5? “My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.” Since he had entire trust on the Lord alone, he enjoyed prosperity given by the Lord in his life as seen in Proverbs 28:25. He says in Psalm 23:6, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.”

David, an ordinary shepherd boy, was lifted up to be a reputed king.

As per Nahum 1:7, the “Lord knows those who trust in Him.” The Bible speaks of a woman called Hannah, who had no child and who wept bitterly and poured out her heart in the presence of the Lord. In the 27th verse of the first chapter in I Samuel, we see her dedicating her child for the Lord saying, “For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him.” The Lord blessed him and changed him into a glorious prophet.

Few years after my marriage, I suffered as I had problems in getting a child. Then I started to plead with the Lord unceasingly, because of which the Lord blessed me with my dear son Paul Dhinakaran. Today, He is using him for the glory of His name as His mighty servant.

Our God is the One, who makes us glad according to the days in which have seen evil.

Dear reader, I encourage you to hold on to the Lord firmly even in the midst of your Jesus Calls International

|

hopeless situation and pray with thanksgiving without ceasing. Then the Lord will bless you in such a way that you would rejoice and be a testimony to Him.

CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY (Colossians 1:27) Yes, dear ones, since you are always surrounded by the people of the world, you may be living in tears, without any peace. However, through the Lord Jesus Christ, we get the privilege of entering into His grace which is caused by our hope that we would attain God’s glory. We rejoice for the confidence and hope on the Lord. Be filled with the Holy Spirit sent from heaven and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ (I Peter 1:12,13).

Dearly beloved, we have come to the last days. Do we live in reverence and in holiness, pleasing to the Lord, personally and as a family? Examine your life! Are you living in darkness, being enslaved by this world, flesh and the devil and by seeking after the pleasures of the world? Or are you filled with the Spirit of God, which the disciples of Jesus and those who were with Him had and are living a divine life of yielding good fruits for Him? In order to be a model for us, we see that the Lord Jesus was also anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power and was a blessing to the multitudes as seen in Acts 10:38. Are you living a life of glorifying the Lord reverentially, faithfully and in the spirit, turning many from wicked ways, being filled with the power of the Holy Spirit just as how the disciples who trusted Him were, as seen in Acts 2nd chapter? Look up to the heavenly Father personally and as a family and plead to Him for the filling of the Holy Spirit and receive His abundant blessings. According to the Lord’s word, “He will give to those who ask of Him” (Luke 11:13).

Following Bro. Dhinakaran, who was the head of our family, the Lord has filled each

the spirit. Commit yourself to arise and shine for Him and receive the fullness of the Spirit, Receive His abundant blessings and arise and shine for the glory of His name.

THE LORD STRENGTHENED AND COMFORTED ME On 24.06.2026, I visited the JC House Prayer Tower and Sis. Christy prayed for me. That time she asked me if I was willing to conduct the Esther Prayer Group and I too agreed. She further asked me to contact Sis. Jeyarani to get guidelines for conducting the Esther Prayer Group. That same evening Sis. Jeyarani contacted me and said, “This Esther Prayer Group ministry is a vision given by God to dear mother Stella Dhinakaran. When she was in sorrow, having lost her daughter Angel in a car accident, the Lord gave this Esther Prayer Group ministry to her on 31.03.1988.

Today, she is conducting this ministry in four ways”. She elaborated on this ministry and I responded enthusiastically and said, “It is one year since I have lost my 17 year old son. The Lord has given this Esther Prayer Group ministry to wipe away the tears of broken hearted people like me. This is of great comfort to me. But for this guidance I would have always been in tears and sorrow”.

I was thus encouraged.

Sis. Jeyarani came to my house and conducted the prayer. The Lord strengthened and comforted me through this. Also, the prayer points – 4, 9 and 16 – related to me totally. My heartfelt thanks to the Lord who has thus led me lovingly and to dear mother Stella!
