The Lord says, "Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me" (Psalm 50:15, NKJV). This promise became my reality in one of the most challenging seasons of my life.

I met a man who offered me a job as his assistant. He was an engineer skilled in metal and woodwork, and we worked as a small team. His wife was severely ill, and his daughter worked in an IT firm. Though he attended church as a Catholic, he knew I was a devoted child of God. However, jealousy arose among a few team members because of the skills God had given me. Little did I know, they were plotting against me.

One day, a man falsely accused and attacked me in the boss’s absence. I immediately called my boss, who instructed, "Put an entry in the police, hand over the car (which was rented in my name) to another member, and get hospitalized. I will handle the rest." I obeyed, but after that—silence. They all vanished, leaving me in deep trouble. The car was missing, my job was gone, and my young daughter was just a few months old. We were in serious danger, with no income and the threat of legal action from the car company.

In that desperate moment, we held onto God’s Word: "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit" (Psalm 34:18, NKJV). We prayed without ceasing, trusting that He would make a way. Despite numerous calls and false promises from the boss—who kept sending me to different locations only to disappear—God remained our only hope.

Then, one day, as I was on a bus, I spotted the car with the very man I had handed it over to! I rushed out, but he drove off before I could stop him. Knowing he lived nearby, I took my wife and baby daughter to confront him as he was preparing for a wedding. By God’s grace, we retrieved the keys—though he insisted on staying in the car. I drove straight to the police station, explained everything, and secured the car overnight before returning it to the company the next morning.

Soon after, God provided another job. Shockingly, the former team members contacted me, seeking revenge, claiming the boss had betrayed them too. I refused, saying, "I will not join you." A few months later, I learned the boss had passed away.

The Lord truly fought for me! As Psalm 37:12-13 (NKJV) says, "The wicked plots against the just… The Lord laughs at him, for He sees that his day is coming." God’s justice prevails, and His faithfulness never fails.

If you’re facing betrayal or impossible situations, remember: "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles" (Psalm 34:17, NKJV). Keep trusting—He will make a way!

Divine Protection: When God Saved Me from a Train Accident

 

Before I knew Jesus as my Savior—before I even understood His love—He was already protecting me.

The Day Death Almost Railed In

I was young, unmarried, and spiritually lost. One ordinary day, I was crossing railway tracks where there were no gates, no alarms—just an open path where vehicles were expected to stop, look, and listen for trains. But I didn’t stop. I didn’t even check.

I simply crossed.

Then, in a heart-stopping moment, I saw it: a train, just a few yards away, barreling toward me. By sheer seconds, I made it to the other side. The rush of wind, the deafening horn, the terror of what almost happened—it left me shaking. At the time, I brushed it off as luck. But now? Now I know the truth: God protected me long before I acknowledged Him.

The God Who Guards the Unaware

Isn’t it just like our Lord? "He shields all who take refuge in Him" (Psalm 18:30)—even those who don’t yet realize He’s their refuge. Looking back, I see His hand everywhere:

• Mercy when I didn’t deserve it. I was reckless; He was watchful.
• Protection when I didn’t ask for it. I didn’t pray—He acted anyway.
• A testimony before I even understood it. That moment became proof of His relentless love.

The world calls it coincidence. Faith calls it providence.

Now I Know

Today, when I remember that near-disaster, I don’t just feel fear—I feel awe. The same God who spared me then is the God I worship now. And if He cared for me before I knew Him, how much more will He guard me now that I’m His?

"The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!" (2 Timothy 4:18).

Your turn: Look back. Where has God protected you—even when you didn’t realize it at the time?

How to Overcome Loneliness: A Personal Journey and Practical Steps

 

Loneliness is a universal human experience that can strike at any time, even when you’re surrounded by family, friends, or colleagues. It’s not just about physical isolation; it’s a deep emotional state where you feel disconnected, misunderstood, or unsupported. I’ve been there, and I want to share my story and some practical steps to help you overcome loneliness.

My Experience with Loneliness

In my early twenties, I went through a series of devastating experiences. My family could no longer tolerate my behavior, I lost my job, and I had no friends to turn to. I felt utterly alone, as if my life was over. During this dark time, I stumbled upon a verse in the Bible that resonated deeply with me: “For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me in.” (Psalm 27:10). At the time, I wasn’t a believer, but those words planted a seed in my heart.

One day, I overheard my sister sharing the gospel with someone in our half-built house. I was in the next room, drunk and trying to nap, but her words pierced through my numbness. She quoted Isaiah 41:10: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Those words cut deep, though I didn’t show it. They stayed with me, and eventually, I decided to visit a church to see if this “amazing God” could truly change my life.

When I walked into that church, it felt like the sermon and the service were tailor-made for me. I was the first to step forward for prayer, and that day, I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. It was the turning point in my life. I realized that even in my deepest loneliness, God was with me, and He had a plan for my life.

Practical Steps to Overcome Loneliness

If you’re feeling lonely today, know that you’re not alone. Here are some steps that can help you navigate through this difficult emotion:

1. Acknowledge Your Feelings

• It’s okay to feel lonely. Acknowledge your emotions without judgment. Suppressing your feelings can make them worse. Write in a journal, talk to a trusted friend, or pray about how you’re feeling.

2. Reach Out to Others

• Loneliness can make you want to isolate yourself, but reaching out to others is crucial. Call a friend, join a community group, or participate in social activities. Even small interactions can make a big difference.

3. Seek Spiritual Connection

• For me, finding a relationship with God was transformative. If you’re open to it, explore your spiritual side. Pray, meditate, or attend a place of worship. The Bible is filled with promises of God’s presence and love, which can bring comfort and hope.

4. Engage in Meaningful Activities

• Sometimes, loneliness stems from a lack of purpose. Engage in activities that bring you joy or fulfillment, whether it’s volunteering, pursuing a hobby, or learning something new. Helping others can also shift your focus away from your own struggles.

5. Practice Self-Compassion

• Be kind to yourself. Loneliness can often lead to self-criticism, but remind yourself that it’s a temporary state. Treat yourself with the same compassion you would offer a friend in need.

6. Limit Social Media Use

• While social media can help you stay connected, it can also exacerbate feelings of loneliness by creating unrealistic comparisons. Limit your screen time and focus on building real, meaningful connections.

7. Seek Professional Help

• If loneliness feels overwhelming or persistent, consider talking to a counselor or therapist. They can help you explore the root causes of your loneliness and develop strategies to cope.

8. Pray for Comfort and Guidance

• Prayer can be a powerful tool in overcoming loneliness. If you’re feeling lost or alone, try this prayer:

“Heavenly Father, I thank you for your promises in the Bible. You said you will never leave me or forsake me, and that you will be with me even to the end of the age. Lord, I ask for your comfort and for my relationships to be restored. I proclaim your promises and command any negativity or evil to leave my life in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.”

Final Thoughts

Loneliness is a tough emotion to face, but it doesn’t have to define your life. My journey taught me that even in the darkest moments, there is hope. Through faith with God, you can overcome loneliness and find joy and purpose again. Remember, you are never truly alone—there is always someone who cares, whether it’s a friend, family member, or a higher power. Take the first step today, and know that brighter days are ahead.

When Brotherhood Turns to Betrayal: A Test of Faith in a Foreign Land

 

The Dream That Became a Battlefield

I once took a leap of faith: a foreign contract, a chance to provide for my family, and an opportunity to serve alongside two younger brothers from my church. We shared one room, one purpose—or so I thought.

But envy has a way of poisoning even sacred bonds.

The Cracks in the Foundation

The company favored my work, and resentment festered in my brothers’ hearts. I harmed no one—I shared, prayed, and lifted them up. Yet pride grew like a weed, choking our unity. Soon, they refused to join me in prayer, then openly turned against me.

"For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice." (James 3:16)

One attacked me violently. Management intervened, but their sympathy for my brothers only emboldened the wickedness.

The Poison Spreads

When two more men joined us, we moved to a larger room—only for the space to fill with more lies. The instigator whispered rumors, trying to turn the newcomers against me. But God intervened: one brother refused the gossip and confronted him.

The response? A chilling threat: “I’ll kill you in your sleep.”

The Fallout

Reported to management, the consequences were swift and severe. The aggressor was dragged from lunch, locked in a room, and deported by nightfall.

Here’s the tragedy: he was a rural father whose son had just enrolled in a better school. His family’s dreams collapsed in an instant, forcing them back to their village in shame.

The Bitter Lesson

This wasn’t just about workplace conflict. It was a warning:

1. Pride destroys faster than any enemy.
2. God defends the upright—but consequences spare no one.
3. Even righteous anger must be surrendered, lest it consumes us too.

That brother’s threat didn’t just cost him a job—it cost his child’s future. And though I was vindicated, I mourned for his family.

"Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse." (Romans 12:14)

The Stone of Stumbling

"Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling." (Proverbs 26:27)

The man who sought to destroy me became entangled in his own snares. His rage cost him everything—yet in his downfall, I saw the sobering truth: we are all one bad choice away from becoming the very evil we condemn.

A Prayer for the Wounded and the Wound-Maker

Father,

• Forgive them, for they knew not the weight of their hatred.
• Forgive me for any secret pride in seeing justice served.
• Comfort that rural family—especially the child whose future was stolen by a father’s unchecked anger.
• Where vengeance felt sweet, teach us to weep instead.
• And when we’re tempted to repay evil with evil,
  remind us that the only pit we dig is our own grave.

In the name of the One who was betrayed yet prayed,
“Father, forgive them” in Jesus’ mighty name. — Amen.

Your Story Matters

If this testimony resonates with you, I invite you to:

1. Share your own struggle in the comments—your words may free someone else from shame.
2. Pray for one another by name—even for those who hurt you.
3. Ask yourself: Where is God calling me to break the cycle of retaliation today?

"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." (Romans 12:21)

The Bible Factory Wars: When Faith Was Used as a Weapon

 

A Workplace Battle of Hypocrisy, Fear, and Divine Justice

I never expected to walk into a spiritual warzone when I stepped into the HR department of a small Bible-printing factory. On the surface, it was a place dedicated to producing sacred texts. But beneath that veneer of holiness, a toxic struggle for power raged—one where scripture was twisted into a weapon, and "Christian" labels masked cruel intentions.

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves." (Matthew 7:15)

A House Divided

Foreign management struggled to maintain order among the workers, many of whom claimed to be devout believers. Yet, some of these so-called Christians operated with ruthless tactics—manipulating, scheming, and quoting Bible verses to justify their greed and aggression.

"They profess to know God, but they deny Him by their works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work." (Titus 1:16)

I did my best to mediate conflicts, but soon, their true plan erupted: a calculated riot meant to turn workers against each other—and against me.

The Ambush

One day, as I stepped in to defuse tensions, a hostile crowd surrounded me. Their eyes burned with malice; their words were laced with threats. By God’s grace, I escaped unharmed and rushed to the foreign leaders, shaken but alive. The experience left me terrified—so much so that I couldn’t return for weeks.

"When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall." (Psalm 27:2)

The Comeback

Six weeks later, strengthened by faith, I returned alongside a new General Manager—a true man of God. Together, we restored order, dismantled the toxic power structures, and brought temporary peace to the factory.

"If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31)

But the wicked don’t surrender easily.

The Second Attack

The same troublemakers resurfaced, this time targeting a disabled foreign employee—assaulting him after a Sunday church service and vandalizing his car. But this time, fear didn’t control me. We fought back legally, filing a court case that left them cornered. One by one, their defiance crumbled. Those who once hurled insults at me now hugged me as they resigned.

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." (Exodus 14:14)

A New Enemy Rises

Just when harmony seemed restored, another self-proclaimed Christian—more educated, more influential—set his sights on destroying me. His tactics were subtler, his reach wider. The battle grew exhausting, and eventually, I walked away.

"Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘Vengeance is mine; I will repay,’ says the Lord." (Romans 12:19)

Divine Justice

Months later, I met a loyal factory technician who delivered shocking news: My accuser had been struck by a train and died.

"The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them; but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for He knows their day is coming." (Psalm 37:12-13)

The message was clear: God fights for those who stand for truth.

Lessons from the Bible Factory

This ordeal taught me hard lessons about hypocrisy, spiritual warfare, and the dangers of those who wield faith as a weapon. But it also reaffirmed a greater truth: No scheme of man can outlast the justice of God.

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." (John 1:5)

If you’ve ever faced betrayal in a place that should have been righteous, know this—you’re not alone. And in the end, light always exposes darkness.

"But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere." (James 3:17)

21st Birthday Miracle: Chosen Before Birth, Rescued By Grace

 

My 21st birthday celebration was simple—just a few friends, none of the wild excesses some expect. While others drank, I hadn’t touched alcohol that day (though I wasn’t yet walking with Christ). What happened next would reveal a staggering truth: God had been protecting me long before I knew Him—since before I took my first breath.

The Unconscious Miracle

I was riding my motorcycle at a normal speed, taking my sister’s friend home. Then came the unexplainable:

• A sudden blackout—not a power outage, but I lost consciousness while still operating the bike
• Supernatural navigation—somehow, we’d already passed a deadly intersection where two highways met (a collision there with any large vehicle would have been fatal)
• Waking to impact—I regained consciousness just in time to see the oncoming bike, with zero seconds to react before collision

Yet the greater miracle wasn’t our survival—it was the proof of what Scripture says:

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart" (Jeremiah 1:5).
"He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world" (Ephesians 1:4).

Divine Rescuers at Zero Hour

At the exact moment we crashed:

1. The girl’s brother happened to be passing by with friends—human angels unaware
2. They got us immediate medical care
3. We walked away with only minor injuries

Science can’t explain:

• How an unconscious rider navigated traffic
• Why consciousness returned precisely before impact
• Why help arrived at the perfect moment

A Prayer of Thanksgiving and Hope

"Heavenly Father, thank You for choosing me before time began. Thank You for protecting me when I didn’t know to ask for protection. For anyone reading this facing fear or uncertainty, remind them: You’ve numbered their days (Psalm 139:16), and no accident—seen or unseen—can thwart Your purpose. Give them eyes to see Your past rescues, and faith to trust Your future grace. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen."

The God Who Claims Us First

This happened:
✓ Decades after He’d already chosen me (Ephesians 1:4)
✓ While I was spiritually blind
✓ Through physically impossible circumstances

That’s who our God is—His mercy doesn’t depend on our awareness. Your story of divine protection began before your first heartbeat.

Reflection: What near-misses in your life might be evidence of God’s lifelong guardianship?

Why Standing Firm in Your Faith Is Not Optional

 

"Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." (Ephesians 6:13, NKJV)

Years ago, I sat in a job interview and openly shared my faith in God. To my surprise, I was hired—by a man who called himself "a bad Muslim who doesn't even visit the mosque."

The workplace was tense. The owner had a fierce temper—so intense that his anger sometimes forced him to take medication. Yet I worked diligently, proving my value. When he secured an agency for engraving machinery, I was given key responsibilities because he recognized my capabilities.

"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men." (Colossians 3:23, NKJV)

Then came the test.

The owner expanded into a new venture using those very machines: producing gold-plated religious figures. My spirit immediately resisted. As someone who serves the one true God, I knew I couldn't participate in work that would dishonor Him.

"You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image..." (Exodus 20:3-5, NKJV)

I told him respectfully but firmly: "These machines were meant for legitimate work. I cannot use them to create idols. If required, I will resign."

My stance shocked leadership. I didn't just refuse—I warned them that misusing these machines for idols could bring consequences.

"We ought to obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:29, NKJV)

The owner backed down—but with a catch. He allowed me to stay but hired someone else to handle both the machinery and idol business, favoring them openly. It was a clear attempt to pressure me while still benefiting from my work elsewhere.

The sting of unfair treatment was real. But I held my ground.

"The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" (Psalm 118:6, NKJV)

God's Justice Prevails

Months later, the owner approached me—unusual for him. "Can we talk?" he asked. His prized machinery agency had collapsed. The very business he had used to promote idol-making was now failing.

I could have gloated. Instead, I worked faithfully until God opened a better door for me.

Then came the full vindication:

1. The idol business failed completely—every gold-plated figure was returned
2. The machines meant for idols sat unused—their purpose thwarted
3. The favored employees betrayed him, even involving the police

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap." (Galatians 6:7, NKJV)

The Lesson for Every Believer

1. God honors those who honor Him - Even in workplace conflicts
   "Those who honor Me I will honor." (1 Samuel 2:30, NKJV)
2. Compromise spreads—but so does conviction
   "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers." (2 Corinthians 6:14, NKJV)
3. Your stand protects others - My refusal may have kept coworkers from sin

Will You Stand?

If you're facing pressure to compromise—in business, school, or relationships—remember:

"No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord." (Isaiah 54:17, NKJV)

Stand firm. Your God never fails.

Does God Trap Us Sometimes?

 

The answer is both yes and no—but not in the way we might think.

A trap is meant to ensnare and destroy, but when God allows difficult situations, His purpose is always redemption, not ruin. He may let us feel stuck—only to steer us toward something far greater.

How God Used a "Detour" to Redirect Me

Years ago, while working in a factory, I was stuck in an unhealthy relationship that left me empty. Then, I met another girl—vibrant, kind, and full of life. For the first time in a long while, I felt hope.

But there was a catch: She had a boyfriend serving in a dangerous military operation. She hadn’t heard from him in months and feared he might have died. "If he returns," she told me, "I’ll have to leave you. If not, I’ll stay." I agreed, thinking this was my chance at happiness.

Months later, the news came—he was alive and coming home. Heartbroken, I did the only thing I could: I blessed her and walked away.

The Divine Strategy

At the time, it felt like a cruel twist of fate. But now I see God’s brilliant strategy:

1. He used her to pull me out of an unhealthy relationship—she was the fresh air I needed to break free from what was harming me.
2. He let me taste hope again—so I’d recognize what real love could feel like.
3. He closed that door—because His best was still ahead.

This wasn’t a trap—it was a rescue mission. Soon after, I met Jesus in my brokenness, and not long after, my wife—a woman of God who became my lifelong partner. We’ve built a beautiful marriage and raised two incredible daughters.

God’s Detours Are Deliverance

The Bible says:

" No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly." (Psalm 84:11)

What felt like a dead end was actually God rerouting me. That girl wasn’t my destination—she was the bridge that led me out of dysfunction and into God’s perfect will.

Your Turn: Trusting God’s Process

Are you in a situation that feels like a trap? Maybe:

• A relationship that isn’t right, but you’re afraid to let go?
• A closed door that feels like a punishment?
• A season of waiting that seems pointless?

Remember:

• God’s "no" is protection.
• His delays are not denials.
• His detours have divine purpose.

If this speaks to you, leave a comment—I’d love to pray for you!

A Prayer for Trusting God’s Plan

"Father, thank You for being a God who doesn’t trap us but transforms our trials into triumphs. When I can’t see Your purpose, help me trust Your heart. Give me the courage to let go when You say ‘no,’ and the faith to believe that Your best is still coming. Thank You for Jesus, my Savior and Guide. In His name, Amen."

Glory to God, who makes all things beautiful in His time!

From Deception to Deliverance: A Mother's Miraculous Freedom

 

A True Story of Spiritual Warfare and Victory in Christ

---

A House in Bondage

My wife's childhood home was a battleground. After her father abandoned the family when she was three, her mother - though nominally Catholic - began worshipping other gods, claiming special spiritual gifts. A deceptive spirit masquerading as a "helpful grandfather" regularly possessed her mother. Each manifestation required my wife to perform rituals: folded-hand prayers to the spirit and applications of "healing water" to revive her mother's withered, lifeless body.

The Divine Invitation

Everything changed when a neighbor invited my wife's mother to a Christian church service (to consider a potential match for the neighbor's family). Though her purpose was social, she returned strangely moved. "There was something different about that place," she told my wife. "You should go."

When my wife attended, the living Jesus met her powerfully. For the first time, she repented and surrendered her life to Christ. That night, the spiritual atmosphere in their home shifted dramatically.

The Night of Power

As the familiar spirit attempted its usual entry, it recoiled in terror, crying:
"I cannot enter here like earlier! There is now a child of Almighty God here!"

When it begged, "Please, let me come in like before!" my wife - now filled with the Holy Spirit - commanded: "Who are you? Leave my mother in Jesus' name!"

The spirit lied: "I am your grandfather, a clean spirit!" Undeceived, she prayed fervently. The demon threatened: "Stop praying or I'll kill her now!"

"Only God holds life and death!" she declared. Her mother collapsed, lifeless.

With unwavering faith, my wife cried: "Lord, bring my mother back to life in Jesus' mighty name!"

INSTANTLY, her mother gasped back to life.
The spirit never returned.

A Family Transformed

The deliverance was complete. My wife's mother:

• Renounced all idol worship
• Abandoned occult practices
• Even quit her betel nut addiction
• Joined a vibrant Christian community

"If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." (John 8:36)

Padma’s Miracle: A Testament of Unshakable Faith

 

My wife was working at the church reception one day when Sister Padma approached her with a heavy heart. Padma shared a harrowing experience she had just gone through. The previous night, she had fallen seriously ill, experiencing continuous bleeding that lasted until morning. Alarmed, she visited her doctor the next day to find out what was wrong.

After examining her, the doctor was stunned. He told her, “You cannot be alive.” A tumor in her womb had ruptured, causing the severe bleeding. The situation was critical, and the doctor immediately scheduled her for an urgent operation.

My wife, deeply concerned, prayed for Padma and encouraged her to proceed with the surgery as soon as possible. But Padma’s response left everyone speechless. With unwavering faith, she said, “If God could heal my son Pathum from being crippled, why wouldn’t He heal me too? I will wait on the Lord for my healing.”

You can read more about Pathum’s miracle here: Pathum’s Miracle.

Her faith was not just a fleeting hope; it was a firm conviction. She had seen God’s power at work in her son’s life, and she believed He would do the same for her.

A few days later, Padma returned to the doctor with updated medical reports. The results were nothing short of miraculous. The doctor, utterly astonished, confirmed that she was completely healed. There was no trace of the tumor, no explanation for her recovery—just the undeniable evidence of God’s hand at work.

A Faith That Marvels Jesus

This incredible story reminds me of the words of Jesus in Luke 7:9:
“When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, ‘I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!’”

Jesus was speaking about the centurion whose faith amazed Him. The centurion believed that Jesus didn’t even need to be physically present to heal his servant—just a word from Him would be enough. Similarly, Padma’s faith was so strong that she refused to rely on human solutions alone. She trusted in God’s power to heal her, even when the situation seemed impossible.

---

Who Will Surprise Jesus Today?

Padma’s story challenges us to examine our own faith. How often do we face challenges and immediately turn to human solutions, forgetting the power of God? How often do we let fear and doubt overshadow our trust in Him?

Jesus is still looking for faith that moves mountains, faith that surprises Him. Who among us will rise up with such boldness and trust in His promises? Who will declare, like Padma, “I will wait on the Lord for my healing”?

---

The Power of Unshakable Faith

Padma’s miracle is a powerful reminder that:

1. God is Still in the Miracle Business: What seems impossible to us is possible with God (Matthew 19:26).
2. Faith Moves God’s Hand: When we trust Him completely, He responds in ways that leave us in awe.
3. Our Testimonies Inspire Others: Padma’s story didn’t just bless her—it strengthened the faith of everyone who heard it.

---

A Call to Bold Faith

Beloved brothers and sisters, let Padma’s story inspire you to take a stand of faith today. Whatever you’re facing—whether it’s a health crisis, financial struggle, or emotional burden—remember that God is bigger than your problem. He is waiting for you to trust Him with all your heart.

Will you be the one to surprise Jesus with your faith? Will you declare His promises over your life and watch as He moves on your behalf?

Step out in faith today. Believe in His power. And watch as He turns your impossible into a miracle.

Ishan’s Miracle: Set Free by the Power of Jesus

 

A distressed mother once came to us, her heart heavy with sorrow. Her son, Ishan, had returned home from an overseas job, but instead of joy, he brought with him a deep darkness. He had attempted suicide multiple times, and the family was at their wit’s end. Despite their love and efforts, nothing seemed to help.

My wife and I began visiting Ishan regularly, speaking with him almost daily for weeks. His pain was palpable, and his family lived in constant fear, unsure of how to protect him from himself. He had tried various ways to end his life, but each time, by God’s mercy, he was miraculously preserved.

One of his most harrowing attempts was jumping into a 35-foot-deep water well. Though he survived, he broke his leg in the process. Desperate to prevent another tragedy, his father installed a locked, grilled gate over the well. But even this drastic measure couldn’t stop Ishan’s downward spiral. The situation only grew worse.

One night, when the family could no longer control him, they called us in desperation. We brought Ishan into our home, and what followed was a spiritual battle. We prayed over him, counseled him, and even physically wrestled with him as the darkness within him fought back. The struggle was intense, but glory be to Jesus! As we prayed, the evil spirits tormenting him were completely cast out, and an overwhelming peace filled the room.

That night, Ishan was set free. He returned home a transformed man, and years later, we received the most joyful news—he had found love and married a beautiful girl.

The Power of Jesus to Set Free

Ishan’s story is a powerful testament to the truth of John 8:36:
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”

No matter how deep the darkness, no matter how strong the chains, Jesus has the power to break every bondage and bring true freedom. Ishan’s life was a battlefield, but through prayer and faith, the victory was won.

A Battle Worth Fighting

Ishan’s journey reminds us that:

1. No One Is Beyond Hope: No matter how broken or lost someone may seem, God’s love and power can reach them.
2. Spiritual Battles Require Spiritual Weapons: Our fight is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). Prayer, faith, and the authority of Jesus are our greatest weapons.
3. Freedom in Christ Is Real: When Jesus sets someone free, the transformation is undeniable. Ishan’s life is a living testimony of this truth.

A Call to Stand in the Gap

Ishan’s miracle also challenges us to stand in the gap for those who are struggling. It’s easy to feel helpless when faced with such overwhelming situations, but we serve a God who specializes in the impossible.

• Pray Boldly: Don’t underestimate the power of prayer. It can move mountains and break chains.
• Show Compassion: Sometimes, the greatest act of love is simply being present and showing someone they’re not alone.
• Believe in Miracles: God is still in the business of transforming lives. Trust Him to do what only He can do.

Celebrating God’s Faithfulness

Today, Ishan’s life is a celebration of God’s faithfulness. From the depths of despair to a life filled with love and hope, his story is a reminder that no situation is too difficult for God.

What a wonderful God we worship! He takes the broken, the lost, and the hopeless and turns their lives into testimonies of His power and love.

If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. Believe it, declare it, and watch as He transforms lives around you.

For One Last Chance, I Will Try This

 

Life can sometimes feel like an endless storm, with challenges that threaten to overwhelm us. For one woman, that storm had become too much to bear. Burdened by financial struggles, a broken family, and a sense of hopelessness, she was on the verge of giving up—until a simple scripture changed everything. This is the story of how God restored her family and finances, proving that miracles still happen today.

The Breaking Point

The weight of her struggles had become unbearable. Debts were piling up, their business was failing, and their half-built house stood as a constant reminder of their unmet dreams. The stress had taken a toll on her family, leaving them distant and broken. Arguments had become the norm, and the once-strong bonds of love and trust were fraying at the edges.

One morning, she boarded a public bus, not knowing where she was going or what she was doing. Tears streamed down her face as she stared out the window, her heart heavy with despair. The thought of ending it all crossed her mind—a desperate escape from the pain and hopelessness that seemed to have no end.

But as the bus passed by a small church, something caught her eye. Written in large letters on the wall was a scripture:

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

Those words struck a chord deep within her. For the first time in what felt like forever, a flicker of hope ignited in her heart. “For one last chance,” she thought, “I will try this.” Without hesitation, she got off the bus and stepped inside the church.

The Turning Point

Inside the church, she was greeted by a kind woman—my wife—who listened to her story with compassion and without judgment. For hours, they talked, prayed, and cried together. My wife shared words of encouragement and reminded her of God’s promises: that He is a restorer of broken lives, a provider in times of need, and a healer of wounded hearts.

That morning, as the woman left the church, she felt a sense of peace she hadn’t experienced in years. She didn’t know how, but she believed that God was going to do something miraculous in her life.

The Miraculous Breakthrough

And He did.

That very evening, a buyer unexpectedly appeared, offering to purchase the bus they had been trying to sell for months—at a price far beyond their expectations. It was the breakthrough they had been praying for. With the funds from the sale, they were able to complete their half-built house, pay off some of their debts, and breathe new life into their struggling business.

But the miracles didn’t stop there. Over time, peace and harmony were restored in their home. The arguments ceased, and the family began to heal. They started attending church together, praying together, and seeking God’s guidance in every area of their lives.

The greatest miracle of all, however, was their salvation. The entire family turned to Jesus, surrendering their lives to Him and committing to follow His teachings. What began as a moment of despair had become a testimony of God’s faithfulness and power.

Pathum’s Miracle

In a small village, a young girl went from house to house, sharing the Gospel and handing out booklets about Jesus. She had a heart full of faith and a passion for spreading the love of Christ.

One day, after she had shared about Christ with a family, a frustrated mother challenged her. With anger in her voice, she pointed to her son and said, "Look at my child and tell me more about God!"

Her son, Pathum, had been born crippled. He couldn’t talk, stand, walk, or do the things other children his age could. He moved only by dragging himself, and his condition had brought great sorrow to the family.

The girl looked at the boy and, with unwavering faith, simply said, "God can heal your son." Then, without even praying, she left, trusting that God’s power was beyond human words.

A Divine Encounter

A few days later, the same mother came looking for the girl. This time, she seemed embarrassed and overwhelmed. There was something different about her—her frustration had turned into awe.

Curious, the girl asked, "What happened?"

The mother, with tears in her eyes, explained, "I mocked God. I held out the booklet and said, ‘If God is real, let my son take this.’ To my shock, my son suddenly jumped and grabbed it from my hand—something he had never done before!"

Transformation Through Faith

Deeply moved by what had happened, the mother asked the girl to pray with her, seeking God’s forgiveness. From that moment on, the family started following Jesus, surrendering their lives to Him, and growing in faith as devoted Christians.

This miraculous event happened in 1997—and that young girl is now my wife, whom I married in 1999. As for Pathum? He is now a grown man, living proof of God’s power and mercy.

God’s Grace is Truly Amazing!

This story is a testimony that God still works miracles today. He hears the cries of the brokenhearted, and His power is not limited by human doubts. If you are facing an impossible situation, remember: With God, all things are possible.

“For nothing will be impossible with God.” — Luke 1:37
