Again we have entered into a New Year but this year is different from all the other years because this is the beginning of a New Millennium. But when we look in this world we see no peace at all. Fighting and blood shed in middle east and many different parts of the world are going on. Not only in our nation but also in many homes and in many hearts there is no peace. Many think, “Is it possible that I will ever see any good thing any peace in my life?

Almost two thousand years ago in the beginning of a New Millennium, Jesus Christ the Savior of the world was born. And angel and the multitudes of heavenly hosts praised God and sang, "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!" (Luke 2:14)

Yes, Jesus’ birth brought peace and goodwill for the whole humanity. You can get this everlasting peace in your home and in your hearts which world can not give. Jesus said in John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” And also the Bible says in Philippians 4:7, “and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

If you are living peaceless and your heart is full of worries, then come to Christ and pour out your heart before Him. Give all your worries and burdens to Him, He will gladly take them and give you the peace that can not be described in words. A few days back one of my Hindu friends shouted at me and said, “Close all your religious activities and try to settle down in your life. Who will marry you a few years after as you will be advanced in age?” I said, “I am really not worried about my future because my future is safe in the mighty hands of God that’s why I live in peace and not worried like you.”

Yes God gives the peace and removes the worries of the future. In this New Year, ask Him to come into your life and He will bear all your burdens, He will take care of your future and give you peace that passes all understanding.

May God be with you in this New Year and fill your hearts and homes with His divine peace and goodwill.

If you have any prayer request please feel free to send it to us. We will pray for you.

What is ahead of us?

By Sherly Isaac

May God be with you in this New Year and fill your hearts and homes with His divine peace and goodwill.

What is Ahead of Us?

As we enter this New Year and see increase of violence, peacelessness, immorality and many heartbreaking and heartrending happeninings shaking us, do we not think, “is this life?” Where is the end of all these things? Where are we heading? But Jesus said in John 14:1, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.” Yes, God wants to give us complete peace and tranquillity in our lives. And as we know the return of Jesus Christ is very near. We do not know when He will return but many signs and many prophecies have been fulfilled like, Israel becoming a Nation, formation of European Union and the recent Launch of “Digital Angel” ( it is a tiny electronic chip which will be introduced in human body so that they can get all information about a person including Credit Card information etc.) And the Bible tells us that Mark of the Beast is on the way.

Rev 13:16-18, “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.so we know that His return is very near even at the door.”

Many things are matching with mark of the beast which is described in Revelation 13:16-18, like no one can buy or sell anything without the mark of the beast and the tiny chip can only be put on forehead or arm. Anyway this is going to happen at the time of Anti–Christ but we see the preparation of it. Devil has plan to rule over this world but God also has wonderful plans for His children. Before He returns, He is going to do certain things.

1. He is going to sanctify His body:

Before He returns, He is going to sanctify His body. When Jesus was about to go from this world He prayed to the Father in John 17:17, "Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.”

Today when we see so much misconception and deception about Jesus and His true word, He is going to remove those false things and is going to establish His pure word in the very hearts of people. He is going to sanctify His people.

Ephesians 5:26-28, “That He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.”

Are you washed by the blood of Jesus? If not this is the time that God wants you to wear His holiness and be without blemish and be holy. Before He returns, He wants you to be holy as He is holy. If you have not experienced the cleansing of Jesus Christ, come to the cross and ask His forgiveness of the sins you have committed in your life. He will forgive you and forget all your sins and make you white as snow. If any of your friends, relatives or loved ones have not come to Christ yet, God is going to shake their lives and they are going to taste the sweetness of Christ in their lives too.

2. He is going to pour out His Spirit as never before:

Prophet Joel prophesied and said, Joel 2:28-29, "And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.”

Yes, the days are coming when we will experience the mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit on every nation of this earth. Before Jesus returned to heaven, He promised to send Holy Spirit as we read in Acts 1:8, "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

And as He promised, Holy Spirit came on His disciples and others as we read in Acts 2:2-4, “And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”

Many think that Holy Spirit came once and these things ceased and that now a days it never happens. But the Bible very clearly says that where ever Peter, Paul and other disciples went and preached they Gospel the got the same experience as on the first day. Peter says in Acts 10:47, "Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?" So these experiences have not ceased, but according to God’s promise He is pouring out His spirit as never before.

If you have not yet received this wonderful gift of God you must ask Him because Jesus said in John 4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." And also Jesus said in John 4:14, "but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."

If you want a springing up life, you must need this living water from God.

3. He is going to have a great harvest:

This year is going to make history in the spiritual world because God is moving mightily and He is preparing His people for a great harvest. If you are a servant of God and thinking that, all these years you had worked very hard to bring harvest to the kingdom of God but got very few converted in comparison to your work be assured that this year you are going to get heaps of harvest. Seeds were sown from many years with tears but those who sowed the seed could not see this great harvest. They hoped to see this great harvest but could not. But this is the generation that is going to see the greatest harvest of the whole human history has not yet seen. Souls after souls are going to come and surrender at His feet. Are you ready for this great harvest? If not get ready for a mighty harvest!!



God's call for ministry

By Sheela Isaac

God calls people for different types of ministry. As we could see in 1Cor chapter 12.

1 Cor 12:28, “And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.”

Very often people do not know the call of God in their lives. They start their ministry as any other secular job and it ends up in utter failure. Once when I was in India one pastor said, "I was working in the railways, but later on I found that the job as a pastor is an easy one and so I shifted to this job". But you should know that the call of ministry is the highest calling for which God calls. It is not a mere job, but a responsible position where a person is responsible for his/her sheep. It has a great responsibility to protect the sheep in his/her charge from going to hell fire. But it is a sad thing t note that many preachers do not care about it.

In 1 Cor we see Bible telling about different types of call. First apostles, secondly prophets and so on.

Now what is the calling of an Apostle? The person through whom all the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit operates is called an apostle. It means an apostle should be able to demonstrate all the gifts in his/her life. Now what are the nine gifts? 1 Cor 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 1 Cor 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 1 Cor 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

We can see all these gifts in St. Paul's life. He was an apostle for Christ, but today in Church we do not see such people. Why? Reason is simple. Today many are in the ministry, but they do not have that kind of call in their life or may be many might have changed their calling. Many have fallen in the spiritual field because they have switched to the type of ministry for which God has never called them. When we started our ministry, many used to come and say "why are you sitting idle? Why do you not go to jail and preach?" "Why do you not go to villages and preach?" "Why do you not go to slums and give gospel message to them?" Every time when we prayed the Lord said, "no, for this I did not call you." Before starting any type of ministry the first thing to do is to ascertain the call of God.

Secondly God calls for prophets. Today also the Lord is calling many for prophetic ministry. Now, what is prophet's calling? Today we are going to see mainly about this type of call.

Call of Prophet: When we read the Bible we could see that God called Moses as a prophet and leader over more than 600,000 people. God also called Elijah, Joshua and many others as prophets.

Now what are the qualities of a prophet?

1. Should be able to hear the voice of God:

We read about Moses that he used to talk to God as talking to a friend. God spoke to Moses from a burning bush (Exo: 3:2-& onwards). He could hear the voice of God. God spoke to him every time and gave direction what to do and what not to do. That is why the ministry of Moses had such an impact on more than 600,000 people whom he delivered and led to the land of Canan.

2. Should be able to know the future plan of God:

If a person is a prophet of God he/she should be able to know the future plans of God. Exo 3:10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. Whatever God said to Moses came to pass exactly as it was said. Moses could deliver the Israelites from Egypt.

3. Should bring healing and miracles:

Elijah brought fire from heaven. Joshua brought down the walls of Jericho. Moses could part the Red Sea in two. Israelites saw pillar of fire and pillar of cloud leading them and they could experience the great escape from Egypt.

Yes my friend these are the qualities of a prophetic ministry. God is calling His prophets today. Where are such prophets today? Where are those miracles? Why do we not see those great and mighty miracles? If the God of Bible is true then where are those miracles? Is God sleeping? Is He taking rest? Why, no miracles like fire and cloud? Why no miracles like wall of Jericho falling? Why no miracles like Red Sea parting? Why.......

Reason is simple. No one wants to pay the price. Price is heavy with this great calling. No one is willing to fast like Moses did for forty days and forty nights. No one is willing to spend hours and hours at the feet of Jesus. No one is willing to hear the voice of God and to do exactly as He wants them to do. That is why we do not see many people in big ministries. Very few are out there doing something for God.

Do you want to become such a prophet? Why don't you become one Elijah? Why don't you stand for God as Moses? Why don't you bring fire from heaven? Are you willing to rise up as a prophet? I feel strongly in my spirit as I am writing this message that God is calling some of you to rise up for God as a mighty prophet. My young people, stand up for Christ. These are the last days. Why don't you rise up as a prophet and deliver the people from their bondage, from their addiction, from their sin.

Many families are broken, many are in tears. Are you willing to stand up for Christ? Are you willing to pay the price? Ministry is not a joke; it is not a play. It is indeed hard work, but you know the reward is very high. One day we will stand before our master and what a day it will be when He will say "My good and faithful servant. Well done!"

May God bless you.




Standing in the Gap - Fasting prayer on 8th Dec.. 2015

As the Bible says in Ezekiel 22:30 "So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it."
