FROM GLOOM TO BLOOM

Sijo did his schooling at Clemis School, Chingavanam, Kottayam. He remembers how he used to struggle to say even his roll number and how his friends used to say it for him during the class roll call. Sijo says, “I used to always worry about how long I would have to struggle my life stammering. I used to ask God why He gave me such a life. Even though I used to study quite well, I could never give an answer easily and so seeing my struggle, my teachers stopped asking me any questions. I was always the odd one out since I couldn’t take part in anything because of the stammer and the inferiority complex that it gave me. My parents took me to many doctors but all those efforts were in vain. While I was struggling with my own battles, my father who was doing a business was cheated by someone and this brought the whole family under a big debt. We were in a very difficult situation, and to add to the misery, my mother was diagnosed with a tumour in her uterus and the doctor advised that she should undergo a surgery in order to have it removed. My father somehow managed to arrange the money for it but the day before the surgery, we received a court order that our house and plot would be seized by the bank the following day.

I still remember my father walking to and fro in his room in a panic. Even though we had asked many for help, no one gave us a helping hand. At that time a few ladies from Heavenly Feast came to our house to pray for us. They laid their hands on mummy and prayed for her. Since many days she had no sensation on one side of her head and while they prayed, at that moment itself, she was healed. After the prayer, they told us that our debt would be paid off by someone. When they said it, we believed it wholeheartedly. Later when she was scanned, to our amazement, the tumour was not to be seen. It had disappeared. The next day, we were in for another shocking news. My father’s younger brother who had refused to help us had pledged his house and with that money, he paid off our loan to the bank and thus we got back our house. What a miracle!

The miracles that Jesus did for this family gradually increased their faith in Him but they were still engulfed in debt. The people who had lent them money began to demand their money back and finding it impossible to do it, Sijo’s father decided to leave Kottayam and go elsewhere so that his family would be able to live in peace. While he was waiting at the K.S.R.T.C bus depot, having no clue where to go, a stranger walked up to him and asked him where his house was. To that, he replied, “Chingavanom”. The man told him that he was going to Chingavanom to see a man named Kunjomon who sold empty barrels and asked him whether he knew that person. To this, Sijo’s dad replied, “I am that person who you are looking for”. The stranger replied, “I am coming from Tamil Nadu to give you a bulk order for empty barrels for a factory there!” Through that one order, Jesus removed our debts. There is nothing that our God cannot do!”

They started experiencing the hands of Jesus in every area of their lives. There was a big change in Sijo’s education. He started to do well in all his subjects. His faith in Jesus overpowered his stammering and the inferiority complex that he suffered all his life. He began to experience the miraculous touch of Jesus on his tongue. Words started to flow out of his mouth very fluently. By the time he reached grade 10, Jesus had completely removed his stammer. After completing his 10th and 12th grade with high marks, God fulfilled his desire to get admission for mechanical engineering without paying any amount as a donation.
This is what Jesus did in Sijo’s education- “Because I couldn’t study well, I asked the Holy Spirit to help me in my studies. I experienced Him sit with me and teach me my lessons. That made me get very high marks in the following exams. I passed my first semester exams with 2nd rank. In the last year of my studies, I decided to sponsor an underprivileged child through Reach World Wide. I bought a piggy bank, cut down my expenses and started saving money in it. I too was sponsored by an old lady through Reach World Wide when I was small. When I started sponsoring the child, I was able to pass my mechanical engineering with very high marks. I wanted to do a course in quality control but I couldn’t afford the fees. Instead I took up a job in a reputed company in Gujarat as a planning engineer. That company sponsored my higher studies and I was able to do exactly the same course that I desired and Jesus blessed the company that I worked for. When Jesus mounted on the donkey, He not only changed the changed the donkey’s situation, but He also blessed the land that the donkey stepped into with Him. Same way, Jesus blessed me and my house. Now I live my life for Jesus.

From a Victim to a Victor!

The series of failures and strives between his parents made Abbin feel like a loser and he ended up being an alcoholic and a drug addict. Right from when he was in grade12 he had started smoking cigarettes and while doing his engineering, he was already addicted to drugs. His mother’s sickness and father’s alcoholism made his life even more distressing. He found it difficult to study in the midst of this and he was always away from home and with his peers. Visiting home became a very rare event and even when he visited, he would be so drunk that he could not even care or show any affection to his parents and relationship with them started to fade away. Seeing the leftovers of drug abuse and empty liquor bottles in Abbin’s room made his parents more and more anxious. The inflow of money and drugs turned him out to be a drug dealer. Eventually, he began to take strong and insane drugs which even made him unconscious. Amidst all, he had a strong desire for something… he began to yearn for an inner peace, seeking his own spirituality. His pursuit of peace made him reach Nepal.

There, on 25 April 2015, something happened that initiated a metamorphosis in his life. All at once there was a big tremor and he was shocked and shaken. It was an earthquake!! There was a big chaos around him- the earth beneath his feet was shaking and the people were scampering here and there in a panic. He was aghast to see people dying before his eyes. In his fear, he fled to a nearby rescue camp and took abode in it. At the camp, a random guy said to him, “Lucky man, the prayers of your parents have saved you”. He immediately called home and told his parents that he was safe. On hearing that, his father cried and thanked God. Abbin could never hold a peaceful conversation with his father for more than ten minutes but now this incident changed his heart with having a realization, how silly our lives are!

He managed to reach home safely but again returned to his old ways. Meanwhile, his parents began to attend the prayer meetings at Heavenly Feast. One day he was compelled by his father to attend a prayer meeting at his sister’s house. There, the man of God said to him that his life was going to change and that he would be able to sleep well (since he was finding it difficult to sleep well). He also advised him to apologize to his parents. There, he was captured by the love of God. After coming back to his sister’s house, he had an encounter with Jesus. He found the peace that he was searching for, in Christ. After coming back from his sister’s house, he went back home and apologized to his parents and they were in tears. This incident was an assurance for him that his parents still loved him. Later, when he went to take a shower, he heard a voice inside him telling him, “Tomorrow you are going to get out of this. Tomorrow you are going to meet your friends and those who bought drugs from you are going to call you. There is no way you are going to escape from this. Several times you have tried to quit drugs and you have not been able to get out of it”. This bothered him a lot and he ran to his room and locked himself up, fell on his knees and started crying out like a small child. I said, “Jesus, You told me that You loved me and that man of God told me that my life is going to change, I know I am weak but I believe that You can change my life”. A sweet voice inside me said, “Open the Bible”. I opened the Bible and read 2 Corinthians 12:9 which says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness”. When he read that, something like a balloon exploded in him and he started laughing out loud. Jesus delivered Abbin from all his addictions. Everything just left him. From that night till now, he could not even smoke a cigarette. Jesus restored his relationship with his parents. He didn’t have to take any effort to do it. That one encounter with Jesus changed his life!

Jesus changed Abbin ‘s life to such an extent that he has become a witness wherever he goes. He accompanies Tangu Bro in the North Indian crusades and is used mightily by the Holy Spirit in the TnT meetings. He is also the Co-ordinator of the anti-drug campaigns of Reach World Wide. As Abbin talks about the love of Christ that captured his heart, the Holy Spirit confirms his testimony by touching lives and changing victims to victors.

No More Headaches!

I had headache since my school days. When I was 18 years old, the headache became crucial. It affected my late night studies. On a Sunday morning, when I was standing inside the church, a volunteer of the youth came and asked, “Do you have any testimony to share with us? If so, you just write it on this card”. As I was suffering from such a killing headache, I requested her to give me a prayer request card. In a hurry, she gave me a card and I just kept it inside my Bible. Every day when I do pray, my roommates also came and sat beside me to hear me sing praise God. After that, I used to go to the terrace, look at the sky and speak to God in spirit. On that evening, I prayed to God, “Jesus, my friends know that I am a believer. Still I am carrying this headache. They are asking me to meet a doctor. I can’t carry this anymore. Heal me… do a miracle”. I went to bed usually at 1am. Next morning also, I woke up with such a terrible headache. I started to walk restlessly all over my room. I felt so angry then. I came out of my room and nobody had woken up, it was 6.30 am. I stood in the corner of the verandah and laid my right hand on my head and shouted, “Today is your end. Evil spirit, get out of my body in the name of Jesus”. At that moment, I felt something fly away from my head. A miracle happened! I checked my body. I tilted my head, I jumped… I checked it in many ways. I quickly I came to my room and took out my Bible to read a verse. But I got a card from my bible written ‘Testimony ‘. I wondered, I had asked that girl to give me a prayer request card. Unknowingly she gave me a testimony card. I shared my miraculous experience with my roommates. They were amazed. I wrote my testimony on that card and shared my experience the next Sunday.

“Oh taste and see that the Lord is good !!”

Shilpa was lost for words in her attempt to express the love and sweetness of Jesus in her life. There were times in her life when nobody could help her family in their dire straits. That is when they experienced the intoxicating, sweet love of Jesus.

Shilpa’s mother Ancy had hurt her spine and that had left her incapacitated and under a lot of pain. Her father had to work during the day and later care for her mother after he got back home and this made his life very irksome. All these mishaps made Shilpa’s childhood very distressing. She recalls those days…”My mother started developing a back pain in 2004.Since she didn’t consult any doctors or take any treatments in the early stage, the pain and her situation worsened. She couldn’t stand on her own or look after me or my little brother. She could hardly hold a glass of water in her hand.

My father took her to many doctors. The orthopaedic surgeon who examined her couldn’t diagnose her illness and the medicines prescribed were of no effect. So she was taken to a neurologist and yet her situation became worse than before. Finally we took her to an ayurvedic doctor who found out that she had inflammation and swelling in her vertebral discs. The medicines that he prescribed had to be prepared at home. My father would return home from work and would spent hours making the medicine which required the extracts of fresh coconut husks. Early in the morning he would do all the chores and get us ready for school and leave for work all tired and exhausted. My mother would lie on the bed and watch us helplessly with tears in her eyes. While on the bed, she remembered an occasion where she had attended a meeting in Heavenly Feast years ago. She requested my father to take her for the meeting but he disagreed to it. She even asked us to take her there and leave her at the meeting and go. But none of us accepted her request to go for the meeting.

One day, when I was at home with my mother, my mother’s sister came home with three ladies who were ministering at Heavenly Feast. I saw my mother crying and requesting them to pray for her. They asked her a question, “Do you believe that 2000 years ago Jesus Christ died for your healing also?” This question pierced her heart and changed her mind. Even though we were born in a Christian family, none of us had a personal relationship with Jesus. While my mother was thinking about their question and saying in her mind, ’’why should I be sick if Jesus died for me also?’’, they laid their hands on her head and prayed for her. After praying, they commanded her to walk in the name of Jesus. Amazingly, after a long time, I saw my mother rise up and walk. I saw her being healed right before my eyes . She began to praise God and run to and fro inside the room. I can never forget how she picked me up and placed me on her lap. This healing was a gift that Jesus had given me! When I witnessed the healing and the manifestation of HIS Resurrection power in her body, nobody had to teach me about the love and sweetness of HIS love… I experienced it !!
That evening when my father returned from work, I ran to him and brought him to the room where my mother was. He was taken aback when he didn’t see her on the bed, but was so shocked when he saw her carrying a bucket of water to give my brother a bath. On hearing what had happened, he was overjoyed and he hugged us with tears of joy rolling down his eyes.

I can never forget the day Jesus came into our lives. Jesus led our lives from then onwards. Now my father is doing the Lord’s work and is a minister of THE Heavenly Feast church. We moved from a rented house to our own house. Jesus honoured us in our studies. What a big privilege it is to know this sweet love of Jesus.”

30 YEARS OF MOUTH ULCER HEALED !!

My name is Abey John. I was suffering from severe mouth ulcers for almost 30 years from the age of six. I was born and brought up in Bhilai, Chattisgarh, did my graduation in Mysore and then moved to Kerala from 1997.In all these places ,I was treated by many doctors from Allopathic, Ayurveda, Homeopathic and Unani medicine. Every doctor that I consulted did many examinations and finally came to the conclusion that they couldn’t find anything wrong with me and they couldn’t understand why I was not being cured.
My situation became worse as years went by. Initially I used to have 2 – 5 ulcers and that increased to 25 to 30 by the time I became 30 years old. It was so painful that I couldn’t eat, drink or talk. I could eat my food only after taking an anaesthetic mouth lotion and its effect lasted only for twenty minutes.
On 11th February 201I I had 27 ulcers in my mouth, and the pain was so unbearable that I could not eat ,drink or even sleep at night. When the pain was unbearable, I called Br .Naveen at Thiruvalla Church and asked him to pray for me. He started praying for me and while he was praying, he stopped and told me that Jesus told him that He was going to heal me that night and that there was a fear in me that I would repeatedly have this problem .I told him that what Jesus showed him was true and he told me to believe.
That night I felt as if someone was telling me,”If Jesus has told you that He is going to heal you ,then He will surely do so. But after being healed, if you tell someone that you had 25-30 ulcers in your mouth ,no one will believe your testimony. So immediately I took two photos of my mouth with my mobile phone.
Next morning when I woke up ,I still had the ulcers and unbearable pain too. But I said to myself ”No! My Jesus never lies. I am healed.”The entire day and the next day was painful for me but I kept believing and confessing that my Jesus would never lie .On the third day when I woke up, my pain had reduced and the ulcers had started to heal .Within the next 2 to 3 days I was completely healed from mouth ulcers! My Jesus healed in an instant what doctors couldn’t heal for 30years.
Since then I have never had mouth ulcers and I live a happy life enjoying every food .For all those who are reading my testimony ,I don’t know how severe or how old your problem is, but I know one thing –The same Jesus who healed me will surely heal and deliver you because He loves you!!

IMMANUEL WITH US !

I am Saji Abraham. I got married in 1990. At the age of 25 I got a job as a senior officer at the Central Government. Like every married couple, we too had a desire for a child. After waiting for a year we started going for treatments. Almost after a year and a half of treatment, the doctors told us to pray for a child. When we realized that the doctors had given up hope, we started going on pilgrimages and to give sacrifices. But that didn’t help us either . After a long chase for hope, we finally reached the right place. We were brought to the right place by Jesus Himself . In 1993 we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. Earlier, people used to say that we were not blessed with children because it was our destiny. But now they started to say that it was because we left our traditions and our traditional church and we were always accused for that. Inspite of all these, we kept on believing that Jesus would bless us with a child and the Lord filled us with His peace and joy always.

Later, we started to do the Lord’s work and our focus shifted from our prayer requests to His ministry. We started receiving His blessings in every other areas of our lives. I got a promotion in my job and was blessed financially. Few of our immediate family members also came to know the Lord. We were able to bring many to Christ. The Lord stood with us and strengthened us always. The world sealed us as those who will not have children .Some even told us,” Don’t speak too much faith. It’s a sure thing that you will not have any children. Even if you get one, you will have to do a DNA test and prove that it’s your child” .We were heartbroken when we heard these very hurtful words .It was at that time that a man of God prophesied to us that we would be having a child. The miracle happened ! In the year 2000, on October 13, we were blessed with a son and we named him Immanuel. Seeing this miracle, Anitha’s brother-in-law came to know the Lord and He is now a minister of The Heavenly Feast Church. We live in Delhi and we do the Lord’s work along with my job.

Dear ones, are your prayers not being answered? Do you feel that the Lord has abandoned you? Do not fear !! If you feel the blessing is delayed, the very best is coming for you.
