Daniel 2 Message-04.09.2023

`Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty Zechariah 4- 1

When I was praying for Daniel academy (DA) in a meeting organized by Sis.Neha and discussing to find new writers for DA, The Lord inspired me to write this message for DA.  When the coordinators of DA reach out to soldiers to write a message for DA there are a few stumbling blocks we find from the answers given by them. I had the same within me when I was first told to write a message for DA.

  1. The first common answer is I don’t have any revelations

In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he was lying in bed. He wrote down the substance of his dream.Daniel 7:1

On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, the Tigris Daniel 10-4

These are the visions and revelations given to Daniel at his bed and during a work by the river and he wrote it. The same way God gives us visions and revelations to us and inspires us to write. The Lord speaks to us any time. One time when I was riding a bike to purchase some things The Lord spoke to me and revealed a lot of things. I was amazed to see God speaking to us in different times. It is not only during our bible meditation times or during our prayer The Lord speaks and not always it is related to our intellectual or how well we know the scriptures. It is by His grace He reveals us and teaches us.

  • The second common answer is I don’t have time to write.

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. Ephesians :1.18

The above verse talks about the prayer from Apostle Paul for the people to understand the glorious riches and inheritance from heaven and the people to be enlightened by it. We are all in a busy world running for our daily things and writing down something requires time to allocate from our daily routine. But when God grants us a revelation or vision it enlightens and makes us thrilled. In spite of all our scheduled things we find time to write down God’s message. We will be thrilled to share these amazing revelations from The Lord to others. Some times it will be burning inside of us to share to others.

But if I say, “I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name,his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones.I am weary of holding it in; Jeremiah 20.9

  • The third common answer is I don’t know much about the scriptures

When I started for DA I didn’t know much about the scriptures. But I started to ask God all the things I didn’t understand in the Bible and by His grace, He taught me one by one. Today a lot of teachings from the scriptures scratch only the surface of it and many take only the literal meaning of it. The surface is good but the real Gold, silver and diamond are hidden underneath and God reveals to us ordinary people rather than famous preachers and pastors. We see out of all the old testament people Daniel was the only one who saw the full image of Jesus Christ in Daniel 10-4 to 6 compared to all old testament prophets and people of God. Such a great blessing was given to Daniel. Let us get these unknown and unheard revelations and write it down for the Glory of God.

When you commit to write for DA the gift of The Holy Spirit “message of wisdom” the same gift which was given to our Lord Jesus Christ when he taught the word of God will be given to us by His Grace. Remember “Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty”

The Knowledge of knowing God


1 Samuel 2:12,21 “Now the sons of Eli were corrupt;they did not know the Lord.”
“And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile the child Samuel grew before the Lord.”


Eli served the Lord as a Priest. For such a man of God, Eli’s children were ‘men of Belial’we read. The reason being that they did not know God. But we see that, from the hill of Ephraim, was a man named Elkanah and his wife Hannah whose child we see growing at the Lord’s temple. This child heard God’s voice and became a prophet.


In today’s ministerial work , we see that the children of many servants of God have not been filled in the knowledge of knowing God. They have not understood God in the proper way. They know the church, the service ,and they also know the order , but they do not know God. This is very agonising.We shall ask ourselves now, Have I known God? We would have knowledge about God but, have we known Him?

To know a person and to have known about a person are different .Supposing, If I ask you, Do you know Jawaharlal Nehru? your answer will be yes ,I do. But if I ask the same question to Our Late Prime Minister,Mrs.Indira Gandhi she will reply obviously he is my father how will I not know him. We knowing Jawaharlal Nehru, and his daughter knowing him are way too different .


Now my question to you will be; Do you know God? Or Do you know about God? In these days we see,Jesus is known to people,that,He came to this world, was crucified on the cross and rose back to life on the third day. Even the ones who have not known Him speak such things about Him.


Jesus is Our Father,our natural father, have we known Jesus? Are we filled in the knowledge of knowing Him?


2 Corinthians 2:14
“Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.”


Philippians 3:8
“Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ”


Colossians 1:9-10
“For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;”


Today ,May The Lord God fill us with the knowledge of knowing Him.
1Peter 1:2


elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:”
2Peter3:18


“but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.”
Luke :24-16 “But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him.”


When Jesus rose back to life he revealed to All that He is Alive.When two of His disciples were walking to Emmaus,Jesus also walked alongside them.Since their eyes were restrained the disciples did not know Him.


Jesus is always with us.dwelling in us always. But have you know Him? Or Are you like Eli’s sons. We are performing all the church customary practices perfectly. But are we Knowing God?Lets forget us.Are we bringing our children In The Knowledge of God?Lets think.


Luke 24:30-31 Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him;.

Jesus says that He is ‘The Bread of Life’.His words and verses when we break the verses and eat them we will know Jesus.


In our life how many hours do we spend for God? How many hours do we spend on His Word? We need to spend most of our time alone with God. When we meditate on His verses we will be able to sense The Prime Love for God .We will be able to feel How Miraculous, How Powerful and How Merciful Our God is.


Prayer:


Our Loving Father,I thank you for the words that you have spoken to me.Lord,help us to grow in knowing you,and to feel your love through your verses, as we meditate,shower us with your immense grace.In The Powerful Name of Jesus we Pray,Amen

Luke 17:6
He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.”

When the odds are against you and what you’re up against impossible, don’t believe the lie that you don’t have enough faith. God says when you have faith the size of a mustard seed, nothing is impossible. A mustard seed is one of the smallest seeds. A little faith is like a little match that can ignite a huge fire. A little faith can start a huge blessing. Little faith can open big doors. Little faith can heal you from a terminal illness. Little faith can defeat great giants.

You have the faith you need to get you to your destiny. Now do your part and start mixing in faith to ignite the promises of God in your life. How do you mix in your faith? You agree with what God promised.

“Lord, thank You that I can do all things through Christ. Thank You that the enemies I see today I will see no more.” That’s not just being positive, that’s mixing in your faith. That’s what activates the promise.

Prayer

Father, thank You that You don't expect me to have a great faith that never doubts. Thank You that You see my mustard seed faith and that it is enough to make anything possible. I believe that as I mix my faith with Your promises that You will ignite great things. In Jesus' Name, Amen

THE GOD OF SECOND CHANCE

Jonah 3:1
We see that the Lord came to Jonah a second time, and it was no different from the first time . God told him to go to Nineveh and preach to the people there. God gave Jonah a second chance.

No matter how long we avoid God’s instruction, it is still there for us to deal with when we stop running. Eventually we see that being in God’s will, not out of our will, is what brings peace and joy to us. We have to surrender our own wills because walking in our self centered ways keeps us unhappy.

Running from difficult things never works in long term. God never leads us anywhere he cannot keep us. God is leading us to deal with an unpleasant situation in our life, do not run from it. He promises to be with us at all times and never leave us or forsake us.

Surrender to God can be frightening when we first begin to practice, it is because we do not know what the outcome will be if we yield ourselves to God’s will. However, once we have surrendered and begin to experience God’s faithfulness and the peace that passes understanding, we learn quickly that God’s way is better than any plan we could ever devise.

Not knowing exactly what will happen in the future, but trusting God to take care of us and enjoying peace, is far better than erroneously thinking in our life all figured out while continuing to live in fear and anxiety. To enjoy peace with God, we must become comfortable with not always knowing what the future holds.

There is no such thing as trust without unanswered questions. If God is leading us to do something difficult, just begin to take baby steps of faith, and after each one he will show us what to do next. We do not have to have an entire blueprint for the future;we do not need to have all the answers. All we need is to know then One Who Knows, and that’s Jesus himself.

THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH


Habakuk 3:17

God promises to be our strength. He is the God of our salvation. That means he delivers us and provide a way of the troubles in which we find ourselves. It is important to keep rejoicing even in times of trouble, because the joy of the Lord is our strength. Depression, discouragement, and despair only weaken us, but being positive and finding something to rejoice about adds energy to our lives .
Even if we cannot find something to rejoice about, we can rejoice over our relationship with the Lord. He is our joy, not our circumstances.

When we trust in God, he enables us to make spiritual progress even during times of troubles.Through him we can keep on walking forward. We have said in the past, “Keep on walking when the devil is stalking”.Satan’s favorite tool to use against God’s children is fear. But thank God that in Him we can still make progress even in times that are hard to endure.

We tend to think that the highest place to be is on the mountain top with no problems and everything going our way,but that is not true according to God’s word.He says that our high places are trouble ,suffering ,and responsibility and he promises that he will hind’s feet. A hind is a type of mountain goat that can leap about freely on the Rocky, difficult slops. Hinds climb mountains with seemly no effort at all because of the way God has made them.
Look to God as your strength, and trust him to help us make progress in trouble.

FINISH THE JOURNEY


Genesis 11:31
God gave Abram’s father an opportunity to go to the place of his blessing Canaan. But instead of going all the way with the Lord, he chose to stop and settle in Haran. Many believers do what Tereh did. They start out for one place to settle somewhere else along the way. It is easy to get excited when God first directs us to do something But many times we never finish what we start because the roads get difficult . It would be nice to reap the benefits of the journey without actually having to leave your comfort zone, but it doesn’t work that way. To receive our blessing we must be willing to push on through to be at the finish
.

Let us pray,


Father we do not know what happens tomorrow but only we know who hold tomorrow. Increase our trust on you does not matter what situation we are. Amen

Daniel 2 Message-31.08.2023

Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.Proverbs 19:21

–Are you that person in the middle of a failed dream, slow growth or dead-end mess?Let me encourage you with this truth:It is the Lord’s purpose that will prevail, no matter where you are and no matter how many failures you encounter.

In Him, even if it looks daunting or pointless to step forward,in the end,ALL WILL BE WELL.You may be in a tiresome journey for now, yet, may you not lose heart but instead, choose to see God’s heart for you-A faithful heart that does not withhold good things for His children.

The LORD has made everything for its purpose (Proverbs 16:4), and there is a right time and procedure to every purpose (Ecc. 8:6).In trying times, the Lord is sure to strengthen hearts as they wait on Him.

He prepare those who put their trust on Him for the things He will entrust them, while doing the most important thing: refining one’s character towards the image of our Lord Jesus Christ.

May the joy of the Lord be your strength in this season and in the seasons to come. And may you never forget, that for what no one ever saw or heard, what no one ever thought could happen, is the very thing God prepared for those who love Him (1 Cor. 2:9).

Daniel 2 Message-30.08.2023

“Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live;And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David.” Isaiah 55:3

We give more importance to our Physical appearance, how I look, what to wear, more about our body whereas our Lord has more concerns over our Soul and the Spirit. As we all know our physical body perishes but our soul and spirit have everlasting life.” Good news” if we die as a child of our Lord Jesus, we can enjoy everlasting life with our Lord Jesus Christ.


Mathew 10:28 “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both”.

Lord has given below Instructions to Israelite (His children / us) so that the soul could live.

1.Incline ears to Lord

2. Come to Lord.

3. Hear from Lord.

When we start to listen from Lord and obey His voice our soul will live. Sound simple right.

When we are in crossroad or difficult situation, we tend to seek advice from parents, friends, relatives and many other people who are around us, we also listen to many voices / advice and tend to follow who ever gives us advice pleasing to our will or in other words easy for us to follow.

When we decide to do what pleases us, we just act as we were listening to others, but nothing gets into our minds. For eg., if we decide to marry a person with whom we have fallen in love our ears will be closed to anyone’s suggestions or advice.

Here Lord asks us to Incline our ears to Him and to go to Him with obedient heart and obey His words whole heartedly. If we didn’t do according to Lords instruction which means, we were deceiving ourselves. It only leads to tragedy and failure in life.

In this world we get lots of ideas and strategy free of cost. Prophets can give incorrect advice. Only our Lord can give us perfect advice for given situation. John 10:27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

James 1:22 “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”

Now is time for us to examine ourselves and find whom we are listening to and whose instruction we follow. Each Bible word is living and can transform our dead situation to living one, helps to heal our wounds, dried areas of our life to be blossomed for Lord, fruitless life to become fruitful, unlucky life into blessed one more Word can turn our cursed situation to be a great blessing to many.

When we incline our ears to Lord and obey Him completely, our Covenant with our maker get renewed every day, helps us to grow in Him. We will not only inherit everlasting life we will bring heaven down to the places wherever we go / visit / stay.

3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

Prayer:

My dear Heavenly Father Loving Jesus, thank you for your covenant which you have made with us, give us loving and obedient heart so that we will listen to you and act according to your words and will. We surrender each of our thoughts and acts into your mighty and powerful hands lead us and guide us to do your will and purpose in Jesus name I ask and pray. Amen

Joseph’s Sacrifice and Reward

Gen 45:4-5 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.” When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.

Joseph’s life had been marred by adversity, separated from his beloved father and subjected to countless trials. Yet, throughout his journey, he clung to his unwavering faith in the Lord, who stood by him through every step, never forsaking him. Although he possessed the power and authority as Egypt’s second-in-command, the trials and tribulations transformed Joseph’s character. He came to understand that the Lord had allowed these hardships for a greater purpose: to pave the way for his family’s future in Egypt, where they would find grace and blessings from Pharaoh.

The Lord’s divine plan required Joseph to endure pain so that his entire family could receive abundant blessings. Throughout this challenging journey, Joseph remained faithful, obedient to the Lord’s commandments, and never strayed from His path.

Through his steadfast devotion, the Lord transformed Joseph’s heart, dissipating the anger he rightfully held against his brothers and granting him a profound comprehension of his trials and their ultimate significance.

Joseph’s unwavering faith in the Lord throughout his trials resulted in an extraordinary transformation. From a mere slave boy, he ascended to become the leader of Egypt, guiding the entire nation. God gave him compassion toward his brothers, and enabled him to forgive them. This powerful testament highlights the rewards of walking with the Lord during times of adversity.

Similarly, the Lord calls upon each of us to face our trials with faith, seeking to change and refine our characters. Following His commandments during hardships allows us to embrace forgiveness and exhibit Christ-like compassion toward those who have wronged us.

By adhering to His teachings, we receive His divine likeness and become vessels of blessings for even those who have caused us harm, just as Joseph exemplified. This way of walking in trials is a sweet smelling sacrifice to the Lord.

Trusting in the Lord’s plan and walking with Him through the storms of life will not only bring blessings upon us but also enable us to become blessings for others, just as He did for Joseph.

Embracing faith and demonstrating compassion, forgiveness, and obedience during difficult times will not only transform our lives but also allow us to positively impact the lives of those around us.

Like Joseph's remarkable journey, our steadfast devotion to the Lord can lead to incredible blessings and serve as a source of inspiration for others facing their own trials. Lord, help us to understand the purpose of our trials and make us a vessel of blessings to others.

The Plimsoll Line in our life.

1 Corinthians 10: 13 “ No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”

The Plimsoll Line

10th of February is called Plimsoll Day, named for 19th century politician and ‘Sailor’s Friend’ Samuel Plimsoll, to remember his great campaign to save and improve seafarers’ lives. The most significant achievement of this campaign was the Plimsoll Line, a line painted on the side of a ship to show how low in the water she should sit when safely loaded. It’s an innovation that’s still used today. It has saved thousands of lives and spared seafarers the anxiety of being sent to sea in overloaded and unsafe vessels.

God Hears and intervenes

Similarly God has set a Plimsoll Line for each one of us. He will never burden us with more than that. When we come across trials and tribulations in life we should not lose heart. Hagar and her son Ishmael were left wander in the wilderness, out of water and with nowhere to go. Hagar put Ishmael, under the shade of bush and walked quite a distance away so as not to see him die. God hears both Hagar crying and the boy crying, and he intervenes once again. He assures her, he reaffirms his promise to her, and he provides water for them in the desert. (Genesis 21: 16-19). The same God is with us today in all our situations. Both Malachi 3:6 and Hebrews 13:8 declare that God is the same always and never ever changes. He is always good, always loving, always all-powerful. No matter how this world changes around us, we can trust God is consistent. He is the same yesterday, today, and Forever!

Testimony

We must understand that God will not test us beyond our ability. During my Ph.D in 2011 at Coimbatore, I accepted the Lord completely. While I was a Hindu, I just knew the name Jesus Christ. Once I accepted the Lord, I was introduced to a prayer group in the University Hostel, and I used to worship and pray along with few sisters. My Ph.D guide created lot of troubles to me. She never used to sign my papers, reports etc on time. She used to keep it on her table without signing for days together. She used to ask me to take her M.Tech classes instead of her, which I did so. Most of her administrative work she would give to me. Four years passed by but, she never allowed me to publish a single research paper.

My subject was unknown to her which she informed me during my admission, hence she sent me to a Professor in other college in Coimbatore and asked them to correct my papers. This took long time as they too had their own students’ papers. Finally when I was ready with 3 corrected papers, my guide took a long time to give consent for publication. Simultaneously, I used to argue with my guide that she has wasted my 4 years. One day a friend told not to argue with her, but make peace with her. Hence I used to pray for this situation daily and then meet her and try to make her understand my situation in an amicable way. I stopped arguing with her. At last by God heard my prayers and she gave consent for publishing the papers. The next year she accepted signing my Thesis and gave a date for the Viva Voce examination. To all of our surprise, my Thesis that was sent to a Malaysian University and IIT Gowhati came with best comments by the examiners and without any errors.

When I think of my Ph.D days in Coimbatore, I can come only to one conclusion that God has a Plimsoll Line for each one of us. And He does not test us beyond our ability. He made a way for me in that wilderness (Isaiah 43:19) and my thesis was lauded by the examiner on the day of the Viva Voce.

Proverbs 23:18 says “There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.”

Many a times we keep murmuring over our situations thinking that God is testing us. But God never tests us. He is the only one God who makes a way to come out successfully from our trials and tribulations.

Prayer :

My heavenly Father, I bow before you with all due respect and reverence and offer our obeisance to you. Lord no matter what I face in my life, I shall keep trusting you and be rooted in your words. Nothing is really too hard for you. I believe in you as you are my only hope. You always have the best thing for me and you never disappoint me. I thank you for all the miracles you have done in my life so far. Lord, help me to grow more in your word. In Jesus name I pray , Amen.

SPIRIT AND SOUL

1cor2:14 :  The natural man does not receive the things of God’s Spirit, they are foolishness to him. He can not understand them because thay can be judged spiritually.”

The spirit of man is not fully functional,in harmony with God’s Spirit because of SIN but after he comes to the Lord in Repentance and receives Jesus as Saviour then ; his spirit starts interacting with God

When he is Baptised in the Holy Spirit he receives the Spirit, in order to live new life in Christ. lt is the will of God that man’s soul must come under the Lordship of Holy Spirit because He enables the man to grow and start obeying God.Otherwise God’s spirit will not flow through us.Then we will fall back in the lust of the flesh i.e. ,our old life.This is called ‘ CARNALITY’ the natural man. The word says,”To be carnally minded is death. “.  We were condemed to eternal death as carnel men.So the Son of  God Jesus,came in human likeness to die in our place.The Righteous for the unrighteous. And He took our place on the cross and completed the work of our Salvation.When He cried out  “lt is finished”; the work of our Redemption was done for every believer’s body,soul and spirit.   This was the price which He paid for our SALVATION.

JUSTIFIED: The minute a man REPENTS and comes to the Lord and believes, he is justified i.e our spirits are made right with God.

SANCTIFIED: Our souls are being sanctified- made holy before God.

GLORIFIED : Our bodies shall be ‘ Glorified’.- made eternal by the SPIRIT OF GOD.It covers total life experience past,present and future.

RELATIONSHIP TO SIN: We were saved from the ‘ Penalty’ of sin and from the presence of sin.

God said  : ” All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of  God.” It means the whole world is reeling under the power of sin, so man had no hope without Jesus .All were condemed to eternal  destruction and death.So the Son of the Most High Jesus   Christ came in human likeness to die in our place. The Righteous for the Unrighteous died and he REMOVED the written code with all its regulations,which were against us. Hallelujah. All Glory to our Lord Jesus. Amen.

Prayer: 

Gracious Lord thank you for dying in our place and the price you paid on the Cross.Amen

“Restore the Land India like streams in the Negev”

Psalm 126:4-6 “Restore our fortunes, LORD, like streams in the Negev. Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.”

Restore the Land meeting was conducted on 29 January 2023.In that meeting ,Prophetical prayer was given to me ,to Prophecy over the Indian Nation. I received a revelation ,

Psalms 126 :4” Restore our fortunes , Lord like streams in the Negev. Then the Holy Spirit made me to prophecy over our Nation India according to the above verse, I prophesized that Let the Restoration begin in Indian Church, Indian government and in all the sectors like the streams in the Negev. And also I remember that the Holy Spirit anointment will flow like streams thru Indian Church and Let it bring a great harvest .

According to above verse, The Holy Spirit flowed with the words that , whatever soldiers going to sow the seeds with tears and hard work through Gift Schools and Troop Churches are going to bring a great harvest and great Celebrations will be there at the end of the year people will confess that the Lord has done great things . This year 2023 after Jan 29, 2023 Restore the Land meeting Chennai , restoration started in Israel , streams flown in Negev Desert after many years according to data collected through YouTube. Restoration will begin in our Country too , in all aspects like Spiritual , Financial , Geographical and Historical.

Facts about Negev Desert:

The Negev is a large desert region in Southern Israel .Its main city is Beer Sheba. The origin of the word Negev is from the Hebrew root denoting ‘dry’ ; in the Hebrew Bible , the word Negev is also used for the direction ‘South’. The Negev is the area lying between the hills of Judah and Kadesh – Barnea.

According to the Book of Genesis 13 Abraham lived for a while in the Negev after being banished from Egypt (Genesis 13:1,3).

During the Exodus journey to the Promised Land , Moses sent 12 scouts into the Negev to assess the Land(Numbers 13:17). Later the Northern part of Biblical Negev was inhabited by the tribe of Judah and the southern part of Biblical Negev by the tribe of Simeon .

According to Psalm 126 , You are like Gods children of old who spoke of the Lords blessings as streams in the Negev Desert .You see the Negev was an arid desert with many dry, big river beds and in the spring the thunder storms would create flash floods which would fill those river beds. The psalmist sang of a time when God set His people free from their captivity and they were restored to Jerusalem (Zion). The streams in the south flowed when the rain fell in faraway mountains .Those streams could appear suddenly and rush with a mighty flow , sometimes known as flash floods. The Psalmist prayed for a mighty sudden work of God to further the work of restoration among His people.

In this year 2023, the Lord wants to bring Restoration in the Indian Church Revival and also in all the departments of the Indian Government. We should understand that the present Institutional Churches is compared to Negev desert which denotes the dryness – “Where there is no flow of the Holy Spirit inside the Institutional Church and the end result is we cannot see the harvest and the people are perishing. Many souls needs deliverance , healing , salvation, love but the anointing is not enough to rescue the souls. But the Lord’s perfect will is to bring a great revival by pouring His Spirit like streams in the Negev as a rush with a mighty flow among the people. Hence we the Indian Church should arise and come forward and ask before the Lord to send His Anointing upon the Indian Church to bring a mighty revival and restore the Land India as Glorious Nation.

Prayer:

             Our Heavenly Father we come before your throne in the name of your Son and our  Saviour Lord Jesus Christ , we thank you for your love and concern for our Nation India. We also ask pardon for our mistakes, negligence and disobedience to your perfect will. Cleanse us with the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ and use us for your Kingdom work. Restore our Nation India into a Glorious Nation and restore its fortunes like the streams in the Negev in order to see the great revival and restoration. Amen.
