Dear friend, God’s promise to you for this month comes from the Scripture Psalm 46:4, 5 which says,
“There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.”
What is the river that God talks about here?You are that river, and God will be in your midst to help you at the break of dawn. Help comes with the dawn. Do you feel dried up? Many times, we go through nights of sorrow: terrifying nights filled with fear, when everything looks dark and there seems to be no light. But the Lord sustains us and brings us into the dawn of a new morning. Therefore, be courageous!
RIVER OF JOY
The Lord has made you to be a river of gladness and joy to the city of God, the dwelling place of God, the holy sanctuary where God dwells (Psalms 46:4).
Can anyone bring gladness to God? Can anyone make the city of God to rejoice? Yes, you are chosen for that. How?
For one sinner who repents, heaven is filled with great joy (Luke 15:7) and Angels rejoice. “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents” (Luke 15:10). When you repent from sin and become a child of Jesus, heaven rejoices greatly. That’s how you
become a river of gladness through your repenting from sin choosing to have Jesus as your Saviour living righteously shunning sin.
Perhaps you are struggling today, saying: “I cannot be free from these sinful habits. How can I bring joy to God?” John 1:7 says, “The blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.” So, confess with your mouth and believe in your heart saying: “Jesus, You gave Your life for me, You shed Your blood for me. By that blood, cleanse my sin.” Yes, say
like the prodigal son who cried out to his father: “I have sinned, help me!” In Luke 15, when the son repented, he said: “I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am not worthy to be your son. I have wasted my life among sinners, in sin, in darkness. Forgive me.” But the father ran, embraced him, kissed him, and made him his son again. The son said, “It is enough if you make me a servant.” But the father clothed him as a son, killed the fattened calf, and said, “Let everyone eat the feast and dance! Let the music play! Celebrate with joy!” For one sinner who repents, there is great joy in heaven. Today, because of you, heaven itself will rejoice, and all the joy of heaven will be poured upon you. Your life will be filled with joy. At dawn, the Lord will help you.
In the same way, let us proclaim Him to others, so that they too may repent. Then, heaven will be filled with great joy! The great revivalist Charles Finney once visited a friend. While they walked through a factory, one woman who was working at a loom suddenly broke down and began to weep. One by one, others around her also began to weep. Finally, the owner said, “I know what is happening Mr. Finney, the presence of Christ is in you. God’s Spirit is in you, and the people cannot stand under its weight. Their hearts are convicted, and they cry for forgiveness.” Finney hadn’t spoken a single word! But the presence of God overflowing in him brought conviction and transformation to everyone there. Beloved, when the fullness of Christ dwells in you, His presence will overflow through you in the same way.
That is why Jesus is calling men and women of prayer to join as His partners in the kingdom work, as prayer intercessors. We are praying for those who come here, and some are praying with us from your homes. I thank God for you. When you do that, great joy is created in heaven because of you. By caring for poor children, you are also serving with us through SEESHA. Many children are blessed through the school kits, free tuitions, and other support SEESHA provides. Countless children are
blessed. You too are part of this.
Because of you, heaven is filled with great joy. When you join in serving others by telling them about the Lord, joy fills heaven and because of that, the joy of the Lord comes upon you. Read Zephaniah 3:17 which says, “He will rejoice over you with singing.” How wonderful it is! When you serve Him, He says: “Because of my child, this man has repented. Because of my beloved daughter, this woman has repented. Because of them, this poor child has received a blessing.” He rejoices over you. He sings over you. Scripture says so. You are that river that carries salvation.
River of Living Water
Along with that, we also read in the Scriptures that He makes us a river of living water. In John 7:38, the Lord Jesus says: “Whoever believes in Me, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.”
But before that, let’s look at the earlier part where the mother of the two disciples of Jesus interceded on their behalf to the Lord Jesus saying, “Lord, when You come in Your glory, let one of my sons sit at Your right hand and the other at Your left hand on the throne.” Jesus replied, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink? Only if you drink the cup I drink will you be able to sit with Me on My throne.”
What was the cup Jesus drank? It was the cup of death. He said, “If you drink the cup that I drink, then you will be able to sit with Me on My throne. You will receive life. You will reign with Me as the Living God. You will become heirs to eternal life. You will live in this world, and in the world to come.” But what was the cup of death that Jesus drank? Though He is the One who has life, He surrendered
Himself to His Father and gave Himself over to death. For what purpose? To taste death on behalf of every man and every woman. Because all men and women were in sin, and the wages of sin is death. To deliver those who were bound in sin, Jesus went through death. Not in order to remain dead, but to conquer death and rise again on the third day! Jesus went through death so that He might give us life and make us rivers of living water.
Even today, the Lord gives us, the cup of death many times. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:10, “When I am weak, then I am strong.” He says, “That is why, for Christ’s sake, I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and difficulties. When weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and difficulties come to me for Christ’s sake, then I am strong. Then I receive life. Then I rise again with strength.”
But many times, we say: “I came to Jesus, yet why do I still have so many problems?” A sister once said in her testimony, “I do have problems. I even have sickness in my body. Yet in all this, I hold on to the Lord. He keeps me alive. He protects my children. He has blessed them in America. I see blessings in every way — in the soul, in life, in family. But still, to fulfil His will, the Lord often leads me through the path of death.”
Why does the Lord do so? Because it is in that path that our human nature falls away from us. Our pride. Disintegrates, our arrogance vanishes, our anger is removed, our irritation fades away and we become like Jesus.
My father used to say: when steel tubes were manufactured in a factory, they looked beautiful on the outside. Yet they are put in a large acid tank?” You know why? “Though they look fine outside, but if you examine them closely, they have many metal scales on them. Only the acid removes them. Their value increases greatly.”
In the same way, the Lord puts us into the acid tank many times. The same hardships that come to the world also come to us. It might be weaknesses, insults, persecutions, troubles, and pressures, just as Paul wrote. But at those
times, the life of the Lord flows into us, a life that is like acid, that purifies. Others do not have this hope, but we have His life within us. That is why Jesus said: “Whoever believes in Me, even though he dies, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die” (John 11:26). Therefore, every time hardships come to us as children of the Lord, we must know this: rivers of living water are about to flow. So, like Jesus, we must say, “Lord, let Your will be done.”
Many times, the Lord has given me prophecies: “This is what will happen, this is what I will do.” But immediately after the prophecy comes, problems arise. Troubles come. Betrayals come. False accusations come. Insults come. And I have often said, “Lord, You Yourself said You are going to do great and glorious things through me. I have even told everyone what You revealed. But now the situation looks like nothing is possible. Lord, let Your will be done. I know it will happen for Your glory. I know that whatever You have planned cannot be stopped. You are Almighty. What You have said, You will surely fulfil. And what a wonder! Every chain that would bind me, every obstacle that had blocked me would be removed by the Lord. He would open wide doors & gave glorious victories.
Truly, we will see the works that the Lord is about to do in the ministry, in Karunya, in SEESHA, and in each of your lives.
The Lord Jesus said: “Whoever wants to follow Me must deny himself and take up his cross.” Job said, “Even though the Lord slay me, yet I will trust in Him.” Did the Lord hand him over to death to perish? No! The Lord raised him up. Whatever he lost, the Lord gave him back double and the Lord will do the same for you. Have you been insulted today for the sake of Christ? Has your blessing been delayed because you carry the name of Christ? Praise the Lord! Because through this, the Lord is making you like Him. You will fulfil His will. The Lord will never hand you over to death. Instead, He will lift you up, raise you from death, and make you live. He will send rivers of living water.
RIVER OF PEACE
As in Isaiah 48:18 the Lord also promises that peace will flow like a river. In Hebrews 12:14, Bible says, “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.” Yes, when you live in peace with everyone, the holiness to see God will descend upon you and you will become the river that brings peace to the people around you.
A sister came to me two weeks ago and said, “Brother, do you know what people are saying about you? They are spreading so many lies about you things that are not true.” She listed everything out and then asked, “Won’t you say a word in return? Won’t you defend yourself?” I told her, “The Lord has not kept me alive to fight with people, but to live as a flowing river, to give life. Not a single person should perish. All must be saved. All must become children of Jesus. All must receive life.”
Judas took money and betrayed Him. Even today, many take money and betray Jesus and His children. But what did Jesus say? “My beloved friend.” He still called him “friend.” Jesus had peace. He had peace with Judas. Jesus never cursed him, never destroyed him. Judas destroyed himself. That same peace, the Lord will give you.
The Lord has called us to be peacemakers. Once we do that the Prince of Peace will come to us and our home will always have peace. Even if opposition rises on all sides, even if countless attacks come, the Lord will establish your family in peace.
When I first started the ministry through my father, the Lord spoke to me: “My son, as you go to preach, do not allow fear to dwell in your heart. Do not allow bitterness against anyone in your heart. If you carry bitterness, you will only give bitterness to the people. If you carry fear, you will only pass fear to the people. But I have called you to give My peace. I have called you to give My life. In any situation, realize that I, the Prince of Peace, am with you. Look to My face. Enjoy My joy. Then no man’s bitterness, no man’s enmity, no man’s jealousy
will touch you. Instead, you will send My peace. You will send My life.” That’s how I have lived and the greater the opposition that rises against me, the more the Lord has blessed me and lifted me higher.
RIVER OF DELIGHTS
Psalm 36:8 says: “They feast on the abundance of Your house, You give them drink from Your river of delights.”
“May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.”
(Psalms 20:4)
Whatever thirst you have today, the Lord is going to quench it. Whatever your longing may be, He will satisfy it. He will make Himself your river of joy, and He will make you into a river of everlasting joy for others.
Proverbs 23:24 says, “The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices (delights) in him.” God will give wisdom to your children and soak you in all His delights.
The very blessing God gives you will either destroy your enemies or save them. Today, the Lord desires to bless you. Do you believe this? If so, do not be afraid of your boss, your colleagues or of any report people bring against you. Do not say, “I will pay him back.” Leave it to the Lord. What must remain in you is peace. Peace with everyone. Through you, peace must come into this world. The Prince of Peace must be revealed through you. You are called to be a river of peace. When this river of peace, this river of life, this river of joy flows in you, then your life will be established. You will not be moved. God will be in your midst. May you experience this grace this month and all the days of your life. God bless you.
BETHESDA PRAYER CENTER
is a chosen by God where His presence is inevitably experienced. Just like the Pool of Bethesda in John 5, where the sick and weary came for healing, multitudes come here with deep cries of the heart. People from all corners of the country and abroad visit Bethesda expecting a miracle for some need of their life and not one prayer offered here goes unanswered. We have received over 7,333 testimonies just in the previous year.
Bethesda is located amidst the serene campus of Karunya Nagar, Coimbatore, often called the “Manchester of South India,” as it is one of Tamil Nadu’s largest cities with a population of over 31,59,000 lakhs people. It is a major hub for textiles, engineering, education, healthcare, and information technology. Yet, the common prayer requests of the people reveal the burdens they carry which include gift of child, marriage, family blessings, children’s future, visas, job transfers and admissions, deliverance from debts, business loss, unemployment, academic pressure, depression, suicidal thoughts, addictions, chronic illnesses, loneliness, property disputes, witchcraft, and evil spirits, restoration of broken relationships in the family, salvation of family members and much more.
Bethesda continues to be a sacred sanctuary of hope, healing, and transformation for all it’s visitors and callers.
Over the past 32 years, it has blessed countless lives with God’s miraculous power.
Listen to the Testimony of Rajan, Tamil Nadu
I searched for a life partner for many years, but every proposal faced obstacles. Finally, I married a woman who had undergone open-heart surgery and was told she could never bear a child. Relatives doubted our future, but the day after our wedding we prayed at Bethesda for a blessed life. To everyone’s surprise, my wife conceived that very month. Doctors warned of life-threatening complications, but when I called the Bethesda Prayer Centre, a prayer intercessor assured me not to worry. The Lord answered our prayers and blessed us with a beautiful baby girl.
This is the type of transformation happening every day in the lives of those who visit or call Bethesda.

“The
lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.” (Psalm 34:10)
Dear friend,
God’s Word assures us that those who seek Him will lack nothing. Human wisdom, riches, and achievements may promise satisfaction, but without Christ, the soul remains empty. David, who experienced both the abundance of kingship and the loneliness of the wilderness, declared with confidence: “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1). He understood that true sufficiency is not found in possessions but in the presence of God.
When you seek the Lord, you invite His fullness into every part of your life whether your personal needs or your loved ones’ health,
salvation, blessings and family’s financial needs.
James Hudson Taylor (1832–1905), the founder of the China Inland Mission, is a powerful example of a man who lacked nothing because he sought the Lord above all else. From his youth, Taylor resolved to depend on God alone for his needs. Even before leaving for China, he chose to live by faith, refusing a regular salary and trusting God to provide through prayer.
When he arrived in China in 1854, he faced immense challenges like civil war, disease, financial strain, and the task of sharing the Gospel in a land resistant to foreign presence. Yet Taylor never looked at lack; instead, he looked to the Lord who had called him.
There were days when food was scarce and funds were low, yet every time, God supplied what was needed. Taylor famously wrote, “God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply.” This was not just a motto but a living reality in his ministry.
Not only was Hudson Taylor provided for materially, but his family also experienced peace amid trials. His wife, Maria, stood faithfully by his side, and together they modeled a home that honored Christ. Though they faced heartbreaking losses including the death of children due to illness, their family never lacked God’s comfort, strength, or sustaining grace.
The mission he began, the China Inland Mission, eventually grew to send thousands of missionaries into the heart of China, touching millions of lives. Taylor could testify, just like the disciples in Luke 22:35, when Jesus asked, “Did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing, Lord.”
Hudson Taylor’s story teaches us that when you fear the Lord, when you seek Him, and when you serve Him, you will lack nothing. God will not only provide for your needs but He will also equip you and your family for the work He has called you all to do.
The Secret of Sufficiency
Scripture consistently reveals this truth. Psalm 37:25 says, “I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.” Yes, those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways live under the covering of His provision. When you place Him first, He not only blesses your soul but also adds the material provisions necessary for your daily life for Jesus Himself has promised in Matthew 6:33, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
Guarding Against Comparison
One obstacle many believers face is the temptation to compare themselves and their family with others. We often measure blessings by the standard of our neighbors or friends, asking, “Why don’t I have what they have?”
But God’s plan is unique for each of us.
At the early stages of my ministry, I used to pray that God would use me just like my husband who is a powerful preacher. I compared my soft voice to his strong preaching style and felt inadequate. But a prophetess encouraged me not to ask for my husband’s mantle, but for my own. She reminded me that God had a unique plan and purpose for my voice and calling.
Dear friend, do not despise your uniqueness. God has designed blessings specifically for you and your family. They may not look like someone else’s, but they are tailormade to fulfill your destiny.
Living in Abundance
God’s desire is not only that you survive but that you thrive in His abundance. As 3 John 1:2 says, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” When your soul is satisfied in Him, everything else falls into place.
Christ Himself declared in John 6:35, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” What an assurance! In Him, you will never lack.
So, instead of worrying about tomorrow, lift your eyes to the Shepherd who provides. Just as Hudson Taylor and his family lacked nothing, so too can your family experience peace, health, provision, and joy when you seek the Lord wholeheartedly. God bless you.
My dear partner in the ministry,
As we walk together in proclaiming the gospel, I am reminded of the life-giving words of our Lord in John 8:32: “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” It is with this truth in mind that I write to you, affirming the freedom Christ has given us and the calling to lead others into this same liberty. Your steadfast prayers and faithful support make it possible for countless lives to be touched with the truth of Jesus. Together, we are instruments in His hand, carrying the message of freedom and hope to millions who are in bondage.
In this month, I believe the Lord will work through you in a greater dimension, using you as a channel of His truth to bring deliverance, healing, and joy to many. We deeply value your partnership and look forward to seeing the fruit of freedom flourish through your dedication to His kingdom.
I would like to share with you some of the great things the Lord has been doing through the ministry in the previous month: •I give all glory to God for His mighty hand upon the ministry and the countless lives touched through prayer and outreach. At the Prayer Towers, 1,38,768 visitors experienced the power of intercession, while 3,80,002
callers received comfort through the Telephone Prayer Towers. On social media, 2,24,113 new visitors were reached, and the E-magazines ministered to 1.5 lakh readers. In addition, 53,596 people who wrote letters and emails were prayerfully replied to with assurances of God’s love and promises. The Lord also moved mightily through 67 outreach meetings organized by the Prayer Towers, blessing and uplifting 3,563 people. During the weekly fasting prayer meetings at the Prayer Towers around 16,125 people were provided food. Truly, it is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes!
•On September 4, 2025, the Jesus Calls, Karunya, and SEESHA families came together on the occasion of my 63rd birthday to thank God for fulfilling the mission, for his faithfulness and using me in a mighty way. On this occasion, the 63rd New Learning Centre was inaugurated at Kottayam, and pastors were supported in the construction and renovation of their churches. 20 Pastors from various congregations received donations totalling Rs.63 lakhs. An eye camp, blood donation camp, and food fest were also organized, along with donations to old age homes and
orphanages. Through this act of love, food, clothes, provisions, and care shared by the Jesus Calls Team members across India, more than 2,000 people from 41 Children’s Homes, 39 Old Age Homes, 16 Rehabilitation Centers, 18 Special Children’s Homes, and 5 Schools for the Blind were blessed. The celebration at the Dr. D.G.S. Dhinakaran Memorial Prayer Tower in Chennai included worship, cake-cutting, and words of blessing from church leaders. I shared my testimony of God’s transforming power and encouraged everyone to remain humble and faithful in fulfilling God’s call. The event concluded with prayers of blessing and thanksgiving.

RAISED FROM DEATHBED THROUGH BETHESDA MINISTRY

PRAYERS FULFILLED MY DESIRE
About a month ago, I was going through a very crucial season in my studies. I had my university examinations, and the results would determine not only my academic progress but also whether I would qualify for the major course of my choice in my second year. It was a highly competitive course, and the pressure weighed heavily on my heart. During this time, I reached out several times to the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower in Malaysia for prayer support. Each time I called, the prayer intercessors prayed earnestly and strengthened my faith. They stood with me, believing that God would grant me success in my exams and open the right doors for my future. By the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, I received my results a month later, and to my joy, I had done well! Soon after, I also received confirmation that I had been selected for the very major I had applied for and desired so deeply. Truly, this was nothing short of God’s divine miracle and favour upon my life. Today, I am overflowing with gratitude, first to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, to whom all glory, honour, and praise belong, and also to the prayer intercessors of the Jesus Calls Malaysia Prayer Tower, who prayed with such faith and love. Their prayers were a great source of encouragement and strength to me. Praise God for the Jesus Calls Ministry.

Since its inception, the Jesus Calls Ministry has been committed to building the Lord’s churches, setting apart one-tenth of every donation it receives for this mission. Month after month, 10% of all contributions go directly toward supporting pastors and constructing churches in rural and remote regions of India. Through the faithful offerings of precious partners, in the past year alone, we helped build and strengthen 572 churches.
The Bible reminds us in 2 Corinthians 9:7, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” Because of your generosity, many churches have been planted, and countless souls have been saved and nurtured in the Lord. Every person who comes to Christ through these churches is credited to your heavenly account, and the Lord will surely honor you and bless you.
To date, by God’s grace, Jesus Calls has contributed to the building of more than 100 churches across India. Yet, the vision is far greater! We aim to raise 1000 churches for God's glory. Together, let us strengthen pastors, encourage believers, and establish God’s Kingdom in rural and distant places.
Here’s how a church was built through your giving:
Our church was destroyed in the floods, leaving believers in deep sorrow as our fellowship came to a standstill. Our small thatched building could not be restored because of financial hardship. In this desperate situation, we approached the Jesus Calls Ministry. Dr. Paul Dhinakaran personally visited our village, witnessed the damage, and promised to help. True to his word, within a year a beautiful concrete church was built for us. Today, our church in Mannargudi is flourishing and is a beacon of blessing and comfort to everyone in the community.
- Pastor John Mathiazhagan, Mannargudi
Just like Pastor John Mathiazhagan, countless Pastors, their families and their churches are supported so that God's work advances in such a time as this!

Forgiveness is central to the Christian life, but why do some still feel empty, powerless, or without blessing even after experiencing God’s mercy?
The answer lies in understanding that forgiveness is not the final step, it is the beginning of a transformed life in Christ.
Forgiveness Makes Us New
The Apostle Paul writes, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17). When God forgives us, He does not merely erase our sins; He gives us a new identity in Christ.
This truth became real in my own life. During my college years, I faced failure
after failure. My health was weak, I struggled with fear, and I could not see a future for myself. My sins weighed heavily on me, and I felt completely unworthy. But one day, when I surrendered my life to Jesus, He washed away my sins and made me a new creation. From that moment, I made a covenant: I would not return to my old sins, nor to the friendships that drew me away from God. Instead, I chose Jesus as my closest companion. I remember going back to college, this time with a new perspective. I would place an empty chair beside me and imagine Jesus sitting there as my friend. Whether I was studying, walking, or preparing for ministry, I would talk to Him. I would say, “Lord, You are my friend. Help
me live worthy of You. Teach me what to do.” This daily walk with Him changed everything. The Holy Spirit became my guide, teaching me what to study, how to live, and how to serve God. Slowly, the same people who once pitied me began rejoicing in my transformation. Truly, the blessing of God followed me when I chose to walk in holiness and intimacy with Him.
Forgiveness Makes Us
One with God
Many Christians stop with asking for forgiveness but fail to move into fellowship. Forgiveness restores us, but relationship with Christ sustains us.
King David under-stood this truth. After repenting of his sins, he prayed, “Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me” (Psalm 51:11). David knew that forgiveness without God’s presence would leave him empty. It was the abiding presence of the Lord that brought him peace, guidance, and prosperity.
The same principle holds today. Forgiveness is the door, but friendship with Jesus is the room where blessing is experienced.
History gives us powerful examples of this truth. John Newton, once a slave
trader, encountered God’s forgiveness and was transformed into a preacher of the Gospel. His life of sin was wiped away by the blood of Christ, but it was his ongoing relationship with Jesus that empowered him to live differently. He forsook his business as a slave trader Out of that intimacy came the hymn “Amazing Grace,” which has touched millions for centuries. Newton’s story reminds us that blessings flow not merely because sins are forgiven, but because a forgiven heart chooses to walk with Christ daily and displays Christ’s nature in things we do in our relationship with others.
Blessings Follow Those Who Walk With God
The Bible declares, “Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life” (Psalm 23:6).
Notice the word “follow.” Blessings are not chased. They come naturally to those who live in God’s presence.
Forgiveness removes shame, but holiness and obedience invite honor. When we live for God, blessings are no longer a question mark. They become a certainty.
May God help you experience the fullness of His forgiveness.
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper…” – Isaiah 54:17
My dear young friend, this month of October, God promises to be our special Guardian. He is not just watching us from afar rather He is actively protecting us in all our ways. Day and night, someone is watching over you with deep love and fierce protection. That Someone is God Himself.
Isaiah 54:17 declares, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper.” What a powerful promise! God doesn’t say the weapons won’t form but He says they won’t succeed. Attacks may come, trials may rise, but they will not prevail. Why? Because the Lord is guarding you. This month, take comfort in knowing that
you are not alone. You are being watched over by the King of kings. He is your shield and your defender. But let’s not be unaware that the devil is always planning specialized attacks against God’s children. He studies us. He knows where we’re weak and his ultimate goal is to pull us away from God. He wants us to constantly worry: “Will this happen to me?” “What if things go wrong?”
“Am I safe?” “Do people like me?” The enemy wants to trap us in a cycle of self-focus and fear. He wants us to spend our energy on survival instead of surrender, on pleasing people instead of pleasing God.
Three Common Attacks of the Enemy
a) Temptation
Temptation is personalized. The devil knows exactly what kind of temptation will distract you. What brings one person down might not affect another. But in the middle of it all, the Lord gives strength to resist and overcome. You are not fighting alone.
b) Distraction from Purpose
Many young people today choose paths based on popularity. Social media teaches us to chase
likes rather than live for light. We begin to ask: “How can I make my friends like me?” “What will make me popular?” That’s a subtle attack. When our choices are driven by public approval instead of God’s purpose, we are walking on dangerous ground. But remember: The approval of people fades. The favor of God remains forever.
c) Attacks on Loved Ones
Another tactic of the enemy is to bring fear through our family and friends. For example, when my father went out to preach, many times my mother would fall ill. The enemy tried to use fear to stop the ministry. But my mother stood strong in faith: “Go and minister. Don’t worry about me.” Because of her courage, many were blessed and she too was healed. If we stop doing what God has called us to do because we are afraid for what happened to our loved ones, the devil wins. But if we trust God and keep marching forward in faith, we overcome and so do our loved ones.
The Heart of Our Guardian
Let me tell you a story:
There was once a man who was disfigured, with deep scars on his face and body. The neighbor’s boy would often bring his friends to mock the man, laughing as they passed his house. One day, the boy’s mother overheard and pulled him aside. “Don’t laugh at that man,” she said gently. “When you were just a baby, our house caught fire. We were helpless. That very man ran into the flames and rescued you. He was terribly burned saving your life.” The boy wept. He had been mocking the very
one who had saved him. He ran to the man and hugged him tightly.
Isn’t that what many of us do with Jesus? He gave His life on the cross, he was scarred and bloodied for our sake so that sin and Satan would not devour us. Yet sometimes, we forget Him. We even mock Him with our choices or with our friends. But He never turns away.
A Call to Gratitude and Trust
This month, let’s return to our Guardian. Let’s say: “Jesus, I’m sorry. Thank You for protecting me. Thank You for shedding Your blood for me. Thank You for watching over my life, even when I was unaware. Lead me in Your path. Keep me from distraction. Let me walk boldly in Your purpose.”
Let’s enjoy this journey with our Guardian beside us. Not only will He protect us, but He will guide us into joy, peace, and victory. May God bless you this month as He has promised.
Reflection Questions:
1. What are the "weapons" the enemy has tried to form against you recently?
2. Have you been distracted by fear, temptation, or the approval of others?
3. What can you do this month to intentionally trust your Guardian God more?
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, Thank You for being my Protector and Guardian. Help me recognize the schemes of the enemy and stand firm in faith. Guard my heart from temptation and fear. Lead me in Your purpose for my life. I choose to trust You. Amen.
In this world, plenty are the people, who do not seek the Lord and live as they like! Such people, who live without any purpose, do not seek Him with reverence but wish to establish their own will and desires. Also, they are ruled by carnal mind and never seek the divine will of the God of gods. It is these people, who do things that are pleasing to their flesh and mind and thereby lose their peace as they are enslaved by sins and things that are displeasing to Christ.
The Chastisement for our Peace was upon Him (Isaiah 53:5)
We read in the Bible, “The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace” (Psalm 29:11) and “This One shall be peace” (Micah 5:5). Particularly, what do we read in Colossians 1:20,21?
“…and by Him (the Lord Jesus Christ) to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight.”
In Acts 9th chapter, we see about a man called Saul, who was living in the dark, not knowing the glory of the God-given peace. He did many things against the Lord and was a ‘vessel of wrath’. However, the Lord Jesus Christ had mercy on him and encountered him one day, as a result of which he became a ‘vessel of mercy’ through whom lot of people received the peace of God.
Dear ones, have you been washed by the blood of the Lord Jesus and received this ‘divine peace’? Or else, today, the Lord Jesus Christ fondly stretches forth His hands towards you to invite you receive it, individually and as a family. Realizing the glory of this peace, commit yourself to Him in all humility in order that you would also become ‘vessels of mercy’. Then the Lord would grant you His divine grace and fill you also with His peace.
The Lord Keeps those whoTrust on Him with Peace
“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”
(Isaiah 26:3)
How do we get this trust?
filled with divine peace and joy.
Accordingly, David, the man of God lost everything in his life, at a particular time and ‘strengthened himself in the Lord’ when he was distressed on all sides, as we read in I Samuel 30:6. What did happen, as a result? Firstly, his heart and life were filled with the divine peace of the Lord. Also, we read that ‘he recovered all’ without losing anything (I Samuel 30:19). That’s why he has sung happily in Psalm 23, “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.”
