JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY

BY Gods Doggy
OVERFLOWING LIFEPaul Dhinakaran
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (John 10:10)
Dearly beloved,

The Lord Jesus came to the world to give us comfort, deliverance and life.

The wicked devil isolates us from others. For an illustration, read Mark 5:1-5. You will find an isolated man possessed by evil spirits calling themselves Legion. Legion had driven the man
out of the city and made him live in tombs and mountains. No one could bind him, not even with chains! Night and dayhe would cry out and cut himself with stones (Mark 5:5). His
whole body had been inflicted by injuries.

The devil has many subtle tricks. He isolates his victims from the relationship with other people through jealousy or malice. To achieve this purpose, he causes confusions and discord in
workplaces and families. Above all, establishing control over his victims minds, he keeps them in bondage.

This is how the man possessed by Legion was torturing himself in isolation. But when the Lord Jesus came there, in a moment, He cast away all the demons from him and healed him. The
man, coming to his normal senses, made a request to Him for permission to follow Him! However He did not permit him, but said Go home to your friends, and tell them what great
things the Lord has done for you and how He has had compassion on you!

The Lord Jesus said, I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full (John 10:10). The Lord Jesus appeared to grant us a new life overflowing with divine comfort and peace.
He is our everlasting Refuge. When you come to Him for refuge, He will deliver you from your bondage, comfort you and renew your life.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are my everlasting Refuge. I come to You for refuge for I am lonely and afflicted. Please be gracious to me and deliver me from my bondage. Comfort me in my loneliness and be my
Refuge forever.

In Your matchless name I pray,

Amen.




GOD SENDS ANGELSPaul Dhinakaran
He (God) will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways (Psalm 91:11)
Dearly beloved,

The Lord says, I know the plans I have for you...plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). According to this verse, in this new
month, may God grant you double fold blessing which He has prepared for you.

Even before the foundation of the world, the Lord has ordained that all His will should be perfected in His childrens lives only for the good. This is His decree! In order to fulfill this, He
dwells with you to bear witness that you are Gods child. He has prepared all good gifts for your life so that goodness and mercy shall always follow you.

To lead you into this good plan, He sends His angels along with you. He promises, "See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have
prepared (Exodus 23:20). When you give your life to the Almighty God, He appoints an angel for you, to take you to the place or position that you need to receive the blessing that is in
store for you. The devil can never push you away from this path. The Lord Jesus has said, "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven
always see the face of My Father in heaven Matthew 18:10).

Several years back, my father Dr. D.G.S. Dhinakaran saw this in heaven. He was standing before the throne of God. He saw thousands of angels coming up to heaven from the earth. Each
angel was carrying the incense of prayer offered by the people of the earth. The Lord at once came to know of everyones prayer request and looked at them. Within a moment, He gave
the answer and blessing to all those prayer requests brought by the angels according to each ones request. What a wonder!

In Genesis 28:12-15, we see how the angels appeared to Jacob. When Jacob was fleeing from his brother out of fear for his life, he sees a dream in the wilderness. In that, he sees a ladder
set up on the earth; its top reached to heaven. The angels of God were ascending and descending on it and above that the Lord stood and spoke to him about his future that He had
decreed for him. Accordingly, Jacob who left home with just a staff in his hands returned back with double fold blessing (Genesis 32:10).

Dear one, today you may be troubled saying, Oh, I dont know what my future would be? But the Lord keeps on witnessing about you that you are Gods child. He brings you to the place
of goodness which He has already ordained for you, through His angel. From now, He is going to lift you up in such a manner that you will carry double fold blessing. You shall have double
honour and blessing in the same place where you were ashamed. He is going to honour you in such a way that all the people are going to witness about you, saying, He (she) is Gods
child. God Himself brought him/her to this exalted position.

In Psalm 91:11 we read, He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. As said in verse, God will order His angels to carry you safely in all your paths and
bring you to the place of blessing.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

It is Your desire to bless me. I choose to walk in Your ways. Bring me to the place of goodness which You have prepared for me through Your angels. Grant me the double fold blessing
which You have in store for me.

In Your matchless name I pray,

Amen.





YOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF GODPaul Dhinakaran
For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people." (2 Corinthians 6:16)
Dearly beloved,

You are the dwelling place of the great Almighty God; you are the temple of the Holy Spirit.

I have noticed young members of churches treating the church building with great awe and reverence. They clean it up every day; they consider it as a place of quietness, peace and
solace. They remove their footwear before they enter the Holy place. On the walls of our churches is written HOLY PLACE! PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL. I wonder if they give so much care to
their own body which the Bible describes as the temple of the Holy Spirit. If only this truth is properly understood, they could live a holy blessed life.

Apostle Paul warns us in Romans 6:13 saying, Present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. It is very dangerous
to subject oneself to sinful deeds because unconsciously he will become a slave to that sin which comes and lives in him.

Note what the Bible says, Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey Him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey--whether you are slaves to sin,
which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? (Romans 6:16).

Apostle Paul says, We are the temple of the living God. As God has said: I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people" (2 Corinthians
6:16). Surrender yourself completely to God and guard yourself holy. Then He will transform you into His temple and make you a vessel that will bring honour to His name.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

I am Your temple and You have purchased me with your own precious blood. So I offer myself to You in complete obedience. Please forgive my wrongdoings and help me to keep myself
pure. Lord please come & live in me and use me as Your vessel for Your purpose.

In Your matchless name I pray,

Amen.



BE PREPARED TO WIN!Paul Dhinakaran
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy (Jude 1:24)
Dearly beloved,

God chose Gideon, a young man, to deliver the people of Israel from the hand of the Midianites who were oppressing them.

Gideon gathered his men and camped beside a spring. At that moment, the Lord said to him, "Announce now to the people, 'Anyone who trembles with fear may turn back and leave.' So
twenty-two thousand men left, while ten thousand remained (Judges 7:3).

Some people instill words of fear in us. The Lord doesnt want us to have fellowship with those who fear and those who bring fear. He said to Gideon, Only a few with you have the faith to
win. So send away those who are afraid and fearful. Twenty-two thousand of the men returned when Gideon announced this and only ten thousand remained.

The Lord again told Gideon that there were still too many of them. He finally picked out 300 from among them and asked him to send the rest of them back to their tents. He assured him
that He would give him victory with just these 300 men. He knew that they would totally depend on Him and be well-prepared and alert, watching out for the enemies who surround them.

Yes, you should not be always immersed in your blessings. You should be vigilant and cautious as to what is happening around you so that the devil does not overcome you. Even in the
midst of your blessings, you need to be careful and guard yourself from the sins and pleasures of this world so that they do not touch you. At the same time, you need to be watchful so
that the evils of this world do not prevail over you. Keep positive people around you. The Lord will give you such kind of people. So always be prepared to win.

Believe that everything is possible for God and totally rely on Him. He will keep you away from all evil (Jude 1:24) and lead you to success in life.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You alone are my strength. I place my faith in Your power and completely depend on Your strength to solve my problems. I believe that nothing is impossible for You. Please help me to be
careful to guard my faith and stay away from thoughts of fear. By Your mighty power, help me to overcome my problems. I give You all the glory.

In Your matchless name I pray,

Amen.


THE GOD WHO RESTORESPaul Dhinakaran
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (Philippians 4:6)
Dearly beloved.

We read about Prophet Samuel in the Bible. What were the blessings that he received for praising the Lord?

The Bible says, The towns from Ekron to Gath that the Philistines had captured from Israel were restored to her, and Israel delivered the neighboring territory from the power of the
Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites (I Samuel 7:14). As the Bible thus says, the Israelites recovered all that the Philistines had in their hands and there was
also peace.

Similarly, God will restore all that you have lost. The health and finance that you lost will be restored. Your family life will be rebuilt. Your childrens education will prosper and their future
will be bright. Whatever you have lost will be restored to you. You shall also receive divine peace.

Job was a devout man of God who went through afflictions and losses. The Bible says, After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord made him prosperous again and gave him twice as
much as he had before (Job 42:10). Yes, Job recovered all that he had lost in double measure. This shall happen to you too.

Prophet Samuel ministered all through his life. The Bible says, Samuel continued as judge over Israel all the days of his life (I Samuel 7:15).

Dearly beloved, you have been called to serve God as a family. You shall also do ministry for the Lord. You will be guarded as Gods servants and as His children for generations to come.
You shall abound in prosperity. You will shine for God in your profession and business. The Lord loves you. You shall serve Him all the days of your life. You will shine through your
business, job, family and life. May the Lord grant you all these blessings in abundance!

The Bible says, Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God (Philippians 4:6). Do not worry about your
needs. Place all your requests before God with a thankful heart. He will take care of everything.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

I thank You for all that You have done in my life. Even now, let all the afflictions that stand against me depart in Your name. Let there be divine peace in my life. Bless the work that I do
and grant me prosperity. Let all that I had lost be restored to me in double measure.

In Your matchless name I pray,

Amen.




THE FOUNTAIN OF MERCYPaul Dhinakaran
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. (1 Corinthians 1:18)
Dearly beloved,

Apostle Paul says, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship (Romans 12:1).

If so, how can we offer ourselves as living sacrifices?

The answer has been given by our gracious Lord Jesus Himself: "If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me (Luke 9:23).

The Lord says that the person who hates the worldly pleasures, vagaries, whims and fancies, lusts, greed for riches and follows Him taking up his cross, is the Living Sacrifice! God will
change him into a man of mercy!

When you visit Jerusalem, the Guide will show you 14 different points (Stations of the Cross) at which the Lord Jesus paused while carrying His bitter Cross. A Polish artist has painted a
portrait showing the Lord Jesus Christ bearing the cross and hundreds of Polish youth carrying the cross cheerfully and following Him. People who view that portrait are moved and they
take a vow: Lord Jesus, who gave up Your life for me, Fountain of mercy, I will follow only You, carrying my Cross and offering myself as a living sacrifice. The Lord shows His mercy to
such people and grants them this virtue. They become blessed through His mercy.

Yes! When we, as living sacrifices to God, offer ourselves as His ministers who spread His love to the people, we are honoured by Him as He has Himself promised in Isaiah 43:4 Since you
are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.

The Lord Jesus said: The One (The Father) who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do what pleases Him" (John 8:29).

In the same way, God is with us when we submit ourselves to Him as a living sacrifice; we receive His affection and mercy; at the same time, we receive the love of the people through His
ministry.

So my dear brothers and sisters, keep your eyes always fixed on the Lord! Surrender your lives in the hands of God with the prayer, O Lord, I give my life into Your hands as a living
sacrifice. I will ever follow You, bearing the Cross. His mercy will gush into you, streaming forth from His five wounds. His presence and peoples love will permanently surround you. You
will shine as blessed men and women!

Those who believe the Gospel and yield their lives to Christ shall experience His power in their lives. They shall receive all the blessings that Christ purchased for them on the Cross (1
Corinthians 1:18).

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are the Fountain of mercy. I believe in You and offer my life as a living sacrifice to You. I will follow You all the days of my life. Let Your divine mercy flow into my life. Transform me
into a vessel of mercy and bless me with honour. May I experience Your power in my life and receive all the blessings You have purchased for me on the Cross.

In Your matchless name I pray,

Amen.

ETERNAL MERCYPaul Dhinakaran
The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
Dearly beloved,

The mercy of God is everlasting.

The Scripture says, How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to
death, so that we may serve the living God! (Hebrews 9:14).

The Lord Jesus has the power to cleanse peoples conscience from dead works. Furthermore, He also possesses the precious virtue of mercy to release them from their sins. He has the
authority to bestow His mercy on them about which He Himself says in John 17:2, You (the Father) granted Him (the Lord Jesus) authority over all people.

The Lord Jesus has been given the authority to execute judgement also (John 5:27). He has the authority to show mercy to the people and also to take it away from them, because He
has surrendered Himself as the spotless sacrifice on the Cross!

Once, as the Lord Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, a woman caught in adultery was brought in and made to stand in front of the crowd. At the end of the episode, the Lord Jesus
Christ sent her away, saying, Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more (John 8:11).

A Roman army officer came to the Lord Jesus and told Him, Lord, my servant is lying at home paralysed, awfully tormented. He replied right away, I will come and heal him. With total
faith, the officer said, Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. Amazed at his great faith, He said, Go your
way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you. And the servant was healed that same hour (Matthew 8:5-13).

Yes! As the Lord Jesus had offered Himself as a spotless sacrifice, He had the authority to give mercy to those who sought Him. In a similar manner, when we also yield ourselves to Him as
a spotless sacrifice, living a blameless life marked by Godly fear and humility, He will change us into vessels of mercy. St. Paul confesses this truth in 1 Corinthians 9:27: I discipline my
body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

The Bible says, The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23). Entrust your life totally into the hands of God, hold on to your faith and lead a blameless life. Then
God, through His mercy, shall grant you all blessings, including eternal life.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You offered Yourself as a sinless sacrifice on the Cross for our sake. You have the authority to show mercy to us. I entrust myself totally into Your hands and place my faith in You. Help me
to lead a blameless life, pleasing to You. Through Your great mercy, grant me all the promised blessings, including eternal life.

In Your matchless name I pray,

Amen.

TRUE FELLOWSHIP WITH GODPaul Dhinakaran
The blameless will inherit good. (Proverbs 28:10)
Dearly beloved,

Loving God is to obey His commandments.

We read in Jeremiah 12:2: You (God) have planted them, and they have taken root; they grow and bear fruit. You are always on their lips but far from their hearts.

My father Dr. D.G.S Dhinakaran once received a prayer request which read thus: Please pray for the Leader of our church who is very much ill. My father who loved pastors and
ministers of God deeply right away offered an intercessory prayer, but could not feel the presence of the Holy Spirit at all!

Mighty deeds can happen only if the Holy Spirit descends! Hence my father prayed intensely once again. The Lord appeared and said, What are you trying to do? There is no relationship
between him and Me. Though he presents himself as a good pastor, his life is not in line with my expectations. Dont request anything for his sake!

So what is the real image we present before God, in reality? We might have been called by God-we might be doing His ministry- we might be proclaiming His great deeds, magnificence
and mighty works. But do our heart and mind appear before Him as He really expects them to be? Yes, always, the righteous God searches minds and hearts (Psalm 7:9). Especially, when
He does us good, He examines our minds and hearts.

The Bible states, The blameless will inherit good (Proverbs 28:10). We can have true fellowship with God only when we follow His commands given in the Bible. Then as His children,
we can boldly go into His presence in prayer and claim all the promises as given in the Bible and receive them.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

I love You with all my heart and resolve to live for You. Please help me to abide in You and follow Your commands. Help me to lead a life pleasing to You so that I can claim all Your
promises and obtain rich blessings from You.

In Your matchless name I pray,

Amen.


FAITH BRINGS HEALINGPaul Dhinakaran
And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. (James 5:15)
Dearly beloved,

God is our Mighty Healer.

Once a testimony shared by a television viewer amazed me: Two and a half years before this, in a Sunday evening program called Prarthanai Naerum, inspired by the Holy Spirit, I had
said during prayer, A young man is watching this program. Dear brother, who is in your sick-bed, Gods power is descending upon you. At that very moment, Gods power had truly
descended on him, and he was healed.

He shared his testimony very joyfully in a Good News Meeting, and when he mentioned that the piles disease that he had never bothered him again in the past two and a half years, the
audience clapped their hands and glorified God!

In the same way, you may have experienced a loss or you may be suffering from a disease. Even in the midst of all your situations, Gods power shall be manifested; He will never forsake
you. He will speak of you, He is a purified sacrifice; let Me transform him into gold, and place you in a higher level in this world. He will help you understand others sufferings and
enable you to intercede for them; your life will like a fruitful field.

My dear brothers and sisters, do not worry about your situation. God will definitely change you like gold- a shining vessel for Him- and grant you His virtue of mercy. He will perform
whatever you ask for the other people be it wiping away their tearsor forgiving their sinsor healing their illnessesor casting away the evil spiritsor destroying the effect of
cursesor building up families againor giving them comfort through His mercy! Blessed are you, the merciful; you will receive eternal mercy!

The Bible says, The prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up (James 5:15). Do you need healing from God? Then place your request before Him
in faith and know beyond doubt that you will be totally healed!

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are our Mighty Healer; I offer my prayers to You with faith as I need healing from You. I believe that You are powerful enough to remove my sickness and wait for Your mercy. Let
Your mighty power descend upon me and heal my sickness. Let Your divine mercy bring me total health.

In Your matchless name I pray,

Amen.

GLORIOUS PRAISE!Paul Dhinakaran
He who sacrifices thank offerings honors Me (Psalm 50:23)
Dearly beloved,

Give God all the glory for the good deeds He has done!

When our Lord Jesus walked this earth, once, He went to a certain place called Capernaum. Immediately a large crowd of people gathered around him in a house and He preached the
word to them (Mark 2:2). At that time, four people carried a paralytic to Him. When they found it impossible to approach Him through the entrance of the overcrowded house, they
uncovered the roof where He was. And when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.

When the Lord Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, Son, your sins are forgiven you. He then said, I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go your way to your house. And
immediately he arose, took up the bed and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, We never saw anything like this! (Mark 2:4-12,
Matthew 9:8). Again we read in Matthew 15:31: So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and
they glorified the God of Israel

Every time, nearly three lakh people gather at the Jesus Calls Good News Evening Meetings. When we preach according to the guidance of God, His words pierce through the thronging
crowd with the sure certainty of the Holy Spirit! At the closing prayer session, God, in all His glory, comes down and reveals His powerheals incurable diseases!...moulds new parts of the
body!...makes even the people carried in stretchers jump up in joy and walk!...drives away the evil spirits which flee shrieking out! The gathered people experience the mighty power of
God! At the end of the meeting, when those who experience the power of God in the name of Jesus share their testimonies, the whole crowd glorifies God, clapping their hands; this is
always an amazing scenario. God Himself performs mighty deeds among the people and makes them glorify His Name.

Gods glory shines when people, in response to all the good things they have received from Him, offer praises to Him. He will reply all the prayer appeals, giving us more than we desire or
ask for! He will bless us! Shall we think over all the good deeds He has done for us and glorify Him.

The Lord says, He who sacrifices thank offerings honors Me (Psalm 50:23). Think of all the good things that God has given you and always offer praises to Him. This will bring glory to His
name and delight His heart.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

I thank You for all that You have done for me. You loved me, blessed me and protected me even when I was away from you. I come to You seeking for Your blessings. Help me to know
You more and grant me more than I desire or ask for. Let Your mighty presence descend, enabling me to experience Your mighty power. May Your name alone be glorified.

In Your matchless name I pray,

Amen.
