Wifi in God's terms

Want to share a small similar testimony- due to our relocation, we were staying in a temporary accommodation for sometime, WiFi was not included in the contract. It was very expensive so we didn't opt for it. When we reached the place, I found WiFi there and the password was on the router itself. I was really tempted to connect to it, because my data connection was not good enough and it was a time when I needed internet more than ever. I felt the Holy spirit telling me not to do that. God gave me the grace to prevail. In the next week, we had to extend the contract with the company and they provided WiFi complementary..

God really honours us when we take a step of obedience. I was really helped by a sermon I heard by Zac Poonen in which he tells that it is not difficult for God to provide us with the required money but it is very difficult for God to find people who obey God even when it costs. Thinking how many times I would have lost abundant blessing thinking I am saving a little money!!

Laptop in God's terms.

Short testimony - We recently ordered a laptop from flipkart and I insisted my hubby to go for genuine windows copy which will cost around 4k extra (I recently read a devotion by sister. BalaSamson mentioning specifically that using pirates versions of software's is not acceptable in God's standards).But my hubby went ahead and booked with DOS OS and he thought we can reinstall with pirated version. I prayed asking God to forgive this act.Somehiw we ended returning the laptop twice with different issues and finally he asked for repayment from flipkart. I felt relieved and I prayed this one prayer that if we buy new laptop it should only be with genuine version.after then too he was checking out for laptop options with DOS OS but nothing worked out. Today right now am in Lenovo showroom ND we have bought the laptop with genuine version. Praise God for honoring my desire ND prayer.

Ephesians 5:9,10-Walk as children of light ...finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.

எபேசியர் 5:10 கர்த்தருக்குப் பிரியமானது இன்னதென்று நீங்கள் சோதித்துப்பாருங்கள்

Many a times we pray that we should live a life acceptable to God (a life which pleases God). But do we really know what is acceptable /pleasing to God?We were busy pleasing our children/hubby/manager/team mates/in laws/friends/relatives/siblings/neighbour/church but haven't thought about pleasing God.
Today please ask God to open your spiritual eyes to know,accept and follow what pleases God more than men.
Heavenly Father, thank you for letting us know that u want us to earnestly seek what pleases u and what doesn't. Help us to know it by reading your word as much as possible,day and night and help us to live according to it. In Jesus name. Amen.

Empty sac to a miracle baby

I just wanted to share about God and His mercy and grace in our lives

Me and my wife are married for over 2 years now and from day one we have been praying for a Child.
God gave us the blessing last March when He blessed my wives womb. But we had a miscarriage two months after in May and we lost our Baby. It was a very stressful and depressing time for both of us. But by God's grace and with the help of friends we came back to our normal selves.We were trying to have a child ever since but it did not happen.

But in January , God blessed us and my wife was pregnant again. We both were very happy and thankful to God. We believed that God will definitely not take this child away from us. My wife also had all the good symptoms and we took extra care and caution that a miscarriage should not repeat.
We had our first apptmt with the doctor to check the heart beat ( at the end of trimester ) on Wednesday this week ( Feb 24 ). We were excited going into the room anticipating to hear the heart beat of the child for the first time.

After asking the routine questions , she used a hand held instrument to check for the heart beat . She tried for some time , but couldn't hear any heart beat at all. She mentioned that it is sometimes difficult to hear the heart beat through that machine and wanted to do an ultrasound and check .

We went to the ultrasound room and she used the device on top of the belly and tried to get a heart beat. But again , we could hear nothing. She then did a vaginal ultrasound and said this on seeing something on the monitor " I have bad news for you". She explained that the sack is empty and there is no growth in the uterus. We were completely shocked and in tears. We just could not understand what was going on. She went on to say there might have been a 'missed miscarriage' and the baby did not form at all in the uterus. We both were completely in shock , they further mentioned that they will be setting up an apptm with an Ob Gyn on Friday , so that we can take the next step of cleaning the uterus through D&C
We came home devastated but prayed and thanked God and Praised Him for allowing this in our lives. But we both were depressed. Two of our friends who live here, we call them "akka" that is for big sister in our native language came to visit us and encourage us yesterday and we prayed again and committed the future in God's hand. We were basically resigned to the fact that we have lost the child and God intended it

We went to the Ob Gyn today afternoon to consult with the Gynec and to schedule the D&C. But the doctor wanted to do an ultrasound just to be sure before we proceeded.

When the technician did the vaginal ultrasound and switched on the monitor , MIRACLE of MIRACLES , we could see the Child there . She started showing us all the features of the child and said the child is perfectly normal . We both couldn't believe our eyes and we started shouting . The technician herself was dumb founded on how the doctor could have missed this. She switched on the speakers and we could hear the fast paced rhythm of the child's heartbeat . It was such a music to our ears.No words can really describe the excitement and joy we had at that moment. We started thanking God ..We then met with the Gynec and she also mentioned that the baby is perfect for the 11-12 week period and we dont have to worry. In a matter of 15 min all our sorrows turned to joy and we were just bubbling with energy.

When we look back and think on humane terms we could always blame the doctor for messing up the ultrasound and giving us a wrong picture on Wednesday. But think about this . She is a very reputed and experienced doctor. She tried to find the baby with three different methods. In spite of that she was not able to.
In the words of the Technician who did the ultrasound today "Even a novice with three months of practice should have found the baby".
But , we both strongly believe that God was just gracious and His mercy just enveloped my wife and He put the child in her womb today. We will be ever thankful to Him. The joy in us was just too much to contain within , so thought of sharing this with our friends.

Our God is an awesome God , a God of impossibilities and a God of miracle and we as a family now are a living example of that.

Marriage testimony

Submitting to His will and let him take over our life and His will is perfect in His time

When I was in my final year of my pg my family started to keenly search for a life partner for me. I was very playful didn't give full attention to it. I came across two proposals in August 2012 but my mom kept telling to move with the other one which we didn't even think of. I told my mom to put a pause to the search and let me complete my studies but my mother didn't. She kept doing it without my knowledge.  Once she called and told in December 2012 to send biodata to a particular ID. I said no. My friend insisted me to obey my mom. I did without an interest. Before typing I prayed God give me the wisdom to type so that the one whom you have kept for me be touched by my biodata. I sent my biodata.  And my mom kept telling the proposal likes your biodata and I kept postponing.

During my Christmas vacation my sister was advising me to get married soon and I scolded her pointing to her age when she got married. She told parents have become old now not like her days. And I received another proposal and I rejected it along with my dad citing reasons he was working in abroad. My sister yelled at me I told see dad doesn't like she told you are selfish to fulfill your dreams. I didn't bother. The abroad proposal got fixed for my cousin and my mom and sister asked how are you going to attend her wedding. I said I don't care. And after her wedding my entire family shouted at me and I came back home from native and fasted and prayed for a week. I finally prayed Lord if your will is in the list of the qualifications which I said I don't want, I accept. Not my will let yours be done.

N the same proposal of August 2012 I got married. I prayed to God I Atleast should be  engaged or my wedding be fixed at the time of my convocation and exactly on the day of my convocation when I stepped in I got the confirmation call. My mom just asked if it's God's will what you would do and it was His will.

Only God knows what's perfect for us.we ourselves don't know what is best for us. I learnt this.  The point is we never had video call nor did we meet each other before fixing , we just had a talk over the phone in a call and prayed and we got the confirmation verses and accepted. Everyone in my family and even friends where shocked that it was me who accepted without even seeing the proposal directly.

Even today it's like a dream. I know God provided me with a best friend and a companion all through my life. All Glory to God. He is mindful of us.

Second child

I'm married for five years. I had my severe ups and downs in marriage. Everyone think that I got married and had a baby immediately but there were two months between my wedding and the time I conceived. I faced enormous comments those two months when I get my periods from my sister in law. I once got on my knees fasted and prayed to God and told I know you haven't created me barren place a boy baby in my womb because my husband was desperately telling the first he wanted a boy. And the same month I was conceived and I knew it was a boy.

I went through a stressful pregnancy because of my in laws. Everyone told the child will change your husband's attitude.My sister in law told onto my husband's face you won't have a boy. And my baby boy was born through normal delivery. And the Marital problems increased all the more. We  crossed the rough path until we completed 3 years of married life.

A lots of pain where a many a times I wanted to give up,  many a times I prayed to God to take my life and I can't tolerate more. But God never went deaf to my cry. He opened my husband's eyes and finally the struggle came to an end. I was longing for the next baby and had to go through a miscarriage before for unknown reasons and heard negative comments here and there it's difficult to conceive after a miscarriage but I prayed God when you gave me the first child you can bless me with the second if it's your will that I have only one let it be but never will I step anywhere for treatment because you are the One who created me and you are the only one who can bless us with another.

And by God's grace I was pregnant with no medical intervention immediately three months after my miscarriage .The doctor told we cannot confirm until 13 weeks because of immediate pregnancy after miscarriage. My morning sickness was terrible but still God led us. And on the 13th week scan everything was normal and she said hereafter no problem. My husband that was the first time he openly confessed to me God has decided to give us a baby no matter what and surely the baby is purely God's gift. By God's grace I delivered a baby girl normally despite of Chord being around the neck. From when the baby completed one month myself and my husband are taking care of her alone. We don't have any help. I mean cooking by myself and taking care of the baby. Many waited to see how we do it and mock at us thinking we can't . He who gave children will also provide us the wisdom to take care of them.

We prayed to God and God strengthened us to take care of her. By God's pure grace she has completed 6 months. 5 months totally under our care. There were many times that I fell sick and once myself and my husband both of us were sick but still He provided us the strength to take care of both the children with no one's help. Tears roll down my eyes when we look back to see how He has carried us so faithfully. If it was not for God these miracle wouldn't have happened in our life. We fully held on to God and He blessed us in His own time. All praise and glory to God alone.

Unexplained infertility to natural conception

I would like to share my testimony of our miracle baby to encourage others who are waiting for their miracle. We are blessed with a baby after 4 years of marriage.

We started our life together happily with God being with us and guiding us in everything. One year passed by and slowly everyone started asking why I was not able to conceive and if there is any problem. Till then, the thought of not having a baby didn't bother us. So we consulted a good doctor and took all the basic tests. Everything was just normal. For 6 months, the doctor tried to find out the issue. She couldn't find any. I was asked to take multiple scans every month, along with tablets and hormonal injections. No positive result.

I then knew for sure, the doctor couldn't do anything and it is God who can and will bless us in the right time and stopped taking medications. I prayed, *Lord, it was you who created me in my mother's womb, and only you can create a life inside me as well*. And God promised many times that he will bless us.

Still, the next 2+ years was not easy. Had to endure so much of disappointments, frustrations, stress, especially the pain caused by people's unwanted comments.

Many of my friends said that I was wasting time and asked me to take siddha medicines atleast. I decided in Jan 2017, one more year I will wait and we were sure that God will bless us before the end of the year believing God's promises. 11 months passed by.. No positive results.

By December, I had prepared by mind that I should be going for treatment from Jan 2018. But then I was constantly reminded of this verse, *God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?*

Yes he did fulfill his promise when we lost all our hope and was about to give up. To our surprise, got a positive pregnancy result just 2 days before the year ended.. Praise God for answering our prayers and fulfilling his promises in our lives.

Even the doctor was so amazed about this natural conception, without any medicines even. The entire pregnancy was very smooth by God's grace, and delivered a baby boy in August 2018. Praise be to God.

When we look back, we really thank God for those period of waiting, for it has brought us much closer to Him. Nowadays I sincerely pray for people who wait on the Lord for their miracle. Please be encouraged that God will surely bless you in the right time.
*Waiting is just God preparing you for the very best!*
*Waiting is a blessing!!*

Down syndrome vanished

Hi friends .. this is my first testimony in this group .. Praise God for all the great things he has and is doing in my life . during my pregnancy from the third month the doctors were telling there might be a problem with my kid and we have to do a lot of tests to confirm that .. so when nearing 6 months they told there are chances for down syndrome and after hearing this my husband decided we can go for abortion even though he felt bad about it .so my parents suggested a doctor and then we decided even if she confirms the same we can do it .

she told us that all the other factors are fine and there is almost no possibility that it cannot be that way .. but he was not accepting that so she said only if u take a particular test i can decide otherwise i wont be able to anything. usually the doctor who takes the test will come only after two days of booking an appointment . but even without an appointment he just came for a visit that day and the test was taken (2 years before this same date that test was taken ) .. we were told that results would come only after a weeks time and i stayed back in native. and the result was the baby is good and there s no possibility that it might be a down syndrome baby .. after 9 months just a day before the expected delivery date he was born a normal and healthy baby with perfect weigth . even though my bp was shooting up and they gave me a lot of tablets and injections during delivery to bring down my bp , nothing worked but he was born safe and sound that too within 3 hours after my water broke in normal delivery .

I praise God for each and every time he comforted me during all my scans and all my family problems. Thank you all for your prayers during my time of trouble.

TB healed

A testimony to share, my mother was infected by TB when I was 1 .5 yrs old.. doc told not to feed me, those days there were not so many medical treatment as now..she was in her last stage with all her lungs infected the x-ray report showed lot of holes.

We were 3 with me being the youngest. One day morning when she was struggling to breathe and knew she would not survive, she prayed to the Lord to extend her life for us. The Lord spoke to her in a dream, showing her two legs being washed from the dirty water and taken to the other shore where there is clean water. She took a x-ray after that the lungs were clear and rib bones were in full form.

I am 39 yrs old and God has sustained her life thus far. God prevented us from getting infected too when we were so young. Nothing is impossible with God.
He is same yesterday, today and forever. So don't get discouraged, hold on to Him and he will take you through.

Daddy we surrender this family into your mighty hands. You are unchanging and you love us. We pray for the healing of our dear sister, and the little kids. Draw them near to thee to know your power. We pray for strength, hope and courage during this time. Be with them, speak to them and make them known to you. We ask everything in Thy most holy and precious name. Amen.

Kidneys- healing

Testimony
My dad is undergoing dialysis for close to 2 yrs now. He had cataract surgery few weeks back. During the first dialysis after the operation, he had severe chest pain and the ECG rhythm showed heart attack sign. Dad was moved to another hospital for further diagnosis and treatment. By god's grace it was not an attack but a severe muscle contraction during dialysis. Praise god for his grace and mercy.

My dad has high BP inspite of doing dialysis regularly. 180 to 210, which is risky. In the above said hospital the nephrologist changed a BP tablet and the BP reduced to 120 next day and to 80 the day after next and pulse was 145. Usually extra water gets accumulated in the legs first, but it got accumlated in the stomach and the legs were normal. The next day my dad was having breathing problems and was unable to sleep at all. The test results showed more water in lungs and around the heart which is the reason for low BP and high pulse and not the tablet. When discussed with the cardiologist he said to my family doctor that it is risky and to drop without further treatment. But by gods grace we found favor in his eyes and the procedure to remove water around the heart went well. The water was accumulating again around the heart , and later they found it was due to swine flu infection.By gods grace now he is doing much better after treatment, able to talk with us, with a better and stable BP and pulse discharged from the  hospital today.

Though there are much more testimonies from my end, I stay away not pinging in this group for any praise or prayer points. But this time I prayed Lord I will glorify your name and please do a miracle for my dad. Last week was such a painful week for us, no positive statement from any doc.But God did not forsake my family. To god be the glory.

prayer point: please hold my dad in your prayers. his hands and neck are swollen with so many IV's and needles that he could not bear even checking pressure in his hands. Also now they have asked to do dialysis three times a week. The insurance I took in august cycle reached its limit now itself. kindly pray for the finanical needs too. I still believe god could make the kidneys work with all new tissues in his kidneys. waiting eagerly for that day.

Promotion comes from the Lord.

Hi everyone.. I had a praise point... I used to think that before completing 4 years I should get promotion... But after taking ml for 9 months, I lost the hope as most of the managaers used to highlight this only that you took ML for 9 months...

After getting back from my ML I was taken into 1 project in ENGNE unit and after working for 5 months, that project got shutdown... What ever I worked in this 5 months that whole work used to be named on some other person who is less experienced than me but was handling that particular track just bcz she worked with the same manager from 2 years...

I thanked God after it got shutdown, I only prayed that let ur will be done in my life whatever it is... I had no project for 1 month after this project got shutdown... But in the mean while I used to send my profile to the projects which matches my skills by seeing the posts in public folder...

Finally I got some testing project in IVS unit... I started working in that project from august last week... My current manager was a very cool person and I had never seen such a manager till now... I don't even know that he referred me for promotion...

Morning when I reached my desk I got a mail to my mobile from DM stating on promotion to TA... I didn't expected this and was very happy on my promotion to Technology Analyst... Thank God for providing me this new role... I didn't asked anyone for this role, I used to ask God that if it is ur will give my promotion... Thank you Jesus for your unexpected miracle...

Also I will complete my 4 years with Infy by October 20th which is 4 more days....

Jehovah Jireh -provider in difficult situation.

Now that makes me post a pending testimony from my end. I have been on ML and extended LOP for the last 9 months.

Though the salary for ML was credited by Infy at the start of ML, we had several things lined up and soon they were utilised. God blessed me with normal delivery and that entire amount was reimbursed. Every single month I was waiting for amount in my account, even a small amount like 1000 also. As I stayed at my mom’s place I wanted to help them with at least few expenses over there and for that I needed money. I didn’t want to ask my hubby with those expenses.

And FYI he also resigned his previous job and was waiting for a new job during my entire ML (until Sep) and so I was hesitant to ask him to send his money to me. One way or the other I got money added to my account. For e.g Infy’s quarterly pay (something like bonus??) was paid 2 times. Once they deposited 3000 and once 40000 (I don’t have access to Infy network and so I don’t know why I got the money). Some insurance payments were due and it was around a lakh. I didn’t know what to do.

Surprisingly a life insurance I stopped paying long back was matured and I didn’t know it. The insurance company could not find my new mobile number ( changed it multiple times due to my Onsite trip and other issues with airtel) and finally they somehow found my dad’s mobile number and got in touch with me and paid me the entire amount which was more than a lakh. I used it for the current insurance plan.

And I can quote several examples like these. God has been providing us. And my hubby got a job again in Christian sector last month and is working happily while I am having to join work by mid of next month. I lacked nothing when both of us were not working for more than 8 months...

I give all glory to God! He is indeed so great!!! He doesn’t put our face to shame!!!

Testimony- marriage and baby

My testimony

My whole life testimony as short as possible. God has done wonderful and amazing things in my life. God has given me Godly parents. My Dad was saved by the determined and fervent prayers of my mom.
Mom used to send me and my sister to give tracts to our locality whenever we get leave during school days. That was our timepass during weekends and exam leaves.

God touched me personally when I was in my 11th std. God anointed me with the Holy Ghost in a youth convention. After few months of this experience, I fell ill with chicken pox. During this time, I had a vision where I see 2 men standing near my head as I was lying down. It was like my spirit is standing outside my body and watching me lying on the ground and 2 men with long robes standing above my head and talking to each other. One person asking the other, shall we take her. The other person replied saying she still have to bring lots of people to Christ so let her stay. And they left.

From then on God put me to work in Various ministry. By God's grace, he gave me an opportunity to do Sunday school ministry, youth ministry and church choir. I grew in my spiritual life by all these ministries.

My Grandfather who was a pastor blessed me in his death bed by giving this verse. “For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.” God has everything planned and laid out for me. Successfully finished my college in good Colors and with placement in Infosys. During Infy selection process, after written test, names were called out. 75 ppl out of 300+. I was praying to God in heart as each names were called out ( 25  ppl in a list )and I heard God telling me my name is there in the 3rd list.  And it was so the first name from the 3rd list is mine.

God was leading me during my Mysore days and helped me to join mcity and to get a good project. After an year , they changed me to a new project in which I was very hesitant to go. I submitted myself to God and in that project God blessed with top ratings in appraisal twice and promotion to TA in 3.3 years.

Time came for me to marry. God confirmed each and everything thru His word. All I did was to ask God to be with me in each and everything. Wedding was a real blessing and I knew God was there with me when I walked down the aisle and when I said the vow. God's presence filled the entire ceremony.

Rite from day1 we were praying for the baby. We wanted the baby at God's rite time and it shd be the baby which we have prayed for as Hannah did for Samuel. God blessed us with the fruit of the womb on the same month. First few months went well. Later my sugar level was fluctuating and baby's growth went 3 weeks 3 days advance by 32nd week of pregnancy. Baby was growing big and doc was worried. I went into labour on my 38th week. Cervix didn't open but contractions started. Loop around baby's neck was found. Baby weight was 4100+-400 gms as per my scan.  Labour was further induced.  Baby head didn't descend down. Prayerfully waited for nearly a day and baby was delivered by c section safely. Though c section was never on my mind as an option , God's plan are always better than ours. We were blessed with baby boy.

Victory over negative thinking

I want to share my testimony cum learning. I had constant negative thoughts and all the time I was thinking about the comments people give about me and kept trying to convince people of my opinion. if they don't agree I all the more kept thinking n thinking n. Thinking what's wrong in me.

All the time I had the question in my mind whether am right or wrong and it was literally driving me crazy.I coukd nt hear God's voice and I was restless all the time with confusing thoughts all the time..I knew our God speaks clearly and perfectly and No room for confusion.So the problem is I need to stop my too much of thinking and rest in God.

How to do it?
1.I kept claiming this verse :'I bring every thought under the. Captivity of my Lord Jesus Christ.2corinth 10-5

2.I kept telling to.myself and aloud whenever possible:
A)I choose not to think about it in Jesus name.
B)I surrender my mind solution .and spirit to Jesus and Satan has no control over it.

3)I am called to be victorious and not to be in bondage and am set free by the finished work of.the cross.

Praise God I am delivered from the trauma I was going through.The verse and the confessions I keep on  telling whenever my mind was disturbed.

You can tweak the confessions as per your need and ask it Jesus name believing Jesus will set u free.The attitude and perseverance matters..we cannot succeed if we just do it like a ritual or do it once /twice and continue your thoughts to wander ..we need to be steadfast until you gain Victory..

I took help from. Spiritually matured people...I discussed with them.and asked my. Prayer buddies to pray for my deliverance.

X is my spiritual mentor cum thick friend.She pointed out one important trait in me which was the reason for many issues.When I prayed about it and corrected it with Gods help I am enjoying the deliverance. Will send a.detail testimony on this. Later.

Broke and fixed

I have a Testimony of My hubbys Cousin bro. He is a pastor . He was divorced very soon after having their son, and by Gods abundant grace and mercy remarried her again in a church after nearly 13 to14 yrs of divorce. I happen to attend their marriage last yr. In this 14 yrs God has changed everything n his life. He married a bramin girl .

On their remarriage, tat Anni who was living in Dubai after divorce happen to get saved thro a pastor there , shared her testimony and all our relatives were in literal tears of joy.

I m sharing this now coz she had delivered her beautiful second son today. Praise God .
When we r faithful to God He proves more than faithful and Merciful.

Joy in sharing

Feeling Happy, by God's grace was able to share my testimony of how I have accepted Christ leaving Hinduism, Buddhism to a 60 year colleague at work .looks like her parents are staunch Pentecostal but she was totally into world of drinks and all sort of worldly things..she is practising relationship with God recently..I believe she was encouraged about finding  peace with God and reading Bible. Please pray that my conversation with her will bring her close to God in coming days.

Deliverance from addictions

Testimony- I too have a praise point.

My husband got delivered from his smoking addiction and took part in the Lord's table after 4years.Thanking God from the bottom of my heart for bringing my husband back to his herd.

God has heard my prayers and seen my tears.Truely Jesus makes impossible to possible anß He is a prayer answering God..

Godly buddies for Husband

Girls testimony - I was praying for my husband to have good male friendships. At different times there would come one and observing them I felt they were not a good influence. When I prayed to God asking Him to remove these people from my husband’s circle, the Lord every time heard my prayers.

If I tell him that x is not a good friend/influence my husband would not listen but then when God showed him something in the other person’s character, he himself will move away. This happened many times.

Now we are in a family cell group along with 3 other families. He has started to realize once again the importance of fellowship and wants to be regular to it. Just want to praise God that He listens to prayers and answers every time.

Mighty warrior

As we are discussing here abt Gideon, I would like to share a small testimony on how God makes me taste His love via the word ‘Mighty Warrior ‘.

In the year 2001, I was joined MCA very late ( due to lots of entrance in various colleges after my Bsc-physics) around Sep 17th and 1st semester exam started by Nov first week. Within short time God gave me wisdom to study well and score marks in all subjects except Maths. I was very upset and my staffs were suggested me to go for revaluation. 600 rs has to pay for each paper that time and as usual I told them that I need sometime to decide on that. I came back home in the weekend and went to church that week.

I prayed to God that as my parents are paying huge amt for my studies and it was my fault of not studied well, so as per my view it was not justifiable to spend my father’s money for revaluation. But that day pastor was preaching abt Gedeon and how he has feard and worried abt the situation But God called him  as Mighty Warrior.

God spoke to me that He is going to fight for me and I have decided to apply for revaluation. God did a miracle that time to get the  correction from 68 to 86 marks.

It is His perfect plan in my life that He chosen me to get off campus placement here in Cognizant and now in Infosys. He chosen me and in each and every situation He allow me to taste His everlasting love and perfect that noone in this world can give. Whenever I am thinking abt Gideon , I used to  praise Him for His Mighty hand on that day.

He is a mighty warrior for us to give victory over anything in this world. Praise God. 😊

An FGB- day to day testimony

Talking to a FGB always energises me. But yesterday, I wasn't interested. I had to post on Judges in the group and it was already pending for 2 days. It was my bus time

But then my friend the only believer in her family, started talking about the Word coming alive and sustaining her everytime she is down. My ears perked, and was wondering what she ever meant. She asked me how I do my quiet time, and when I asked her about hers, I was a little ashamed myself. Now here's her talk,

"My husband, used to get up at 4.30 AM to bring water from the neighbourhood. That was the time, I could sneak a quiet time for an hour before he comes back. But now he doesn't go, so I can't read bible and pray in the morning. I just sit in my bed, and remember how Moses went to Mt. Sinai all by himself and communed with the Lord. That's a fantastic experience! and later I read the bible in the bus to work"
--- How many of us have all the freedom in the world, to worship the King of Kings without any restrictions at home?

"My husband does not allow me to read Bible, pray. He has said, do whatever you want, but don't ever think of making my 2 children follow you. God immediately reminds me of the verses - "All your children will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their peace." IS 54:13
I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. Genesis 17:7. "
--- How many of us have the liberty to read the Bible whenever we want, pray or sing at home, and remember to teach the kids the fear of the Lord?, and yet fail

"When I am down, and I wonder of all this struggles of marrying an unbeliever, God reminds me saying, that through me, that he and their household would be saved! What a golden opportunity that is! To be a tool/channel in God's hand, save a soul from hell! That's a lifetime worth it!"Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Corin 3:9
--- How many of us can have that perspective, when tough times come?

"God has a wonderful way of bringing the proud down. When even the thought occurs, that 'I', God makes sure he points it out beautifully.
--- How active are we listening to God?


" He does not allow me to church. So I would watch the Sunday service online, when he's not around. Last week, he came back, while I was watching, and he was so mad at me. He took my phone, and removed me from all the groups that I was part of. He doesn't want me to go for fellowships, and started questioning, what I do at work. He wasn't happy about my wimh marks!"
-- How many of us have the liberty to go to church, but come up with excuses of headaches, and body pain and catch an extra sleep. How many of us even if we go, do it to check it off in the 'To-do' list for a Sunday?
--- How many of us are part of all the groups we can be in Whatsapp and while away time watching fwds, youtube, news?

" God promised me that I will have a baby boy, and I would name him Immanuel. But I couldn't even bring it up, as it was a easy Christian name. But by God's grace, He gave me strength, and wisdom to handle the situation. So many prayers and longing, and God blinded my husband's eyes, and we kept the second name in a different language with the meaning as Immanuel. My husband, kept the same second name, for my second son too! What an awesome God he is! Now whenever I am afraid or lonely, or leave my kids and come to office, I am assured of his promise, that God is with us. Yahooooo! "
- How many of us can actively remember that God is very much with us, during tough times?

" I live in a place, where my neighbors knowing my faith, try and teach my kids their stuff, and the family too. Somehow God sustains me, one day at a time"
-- how is our faith walk?

I got down pretty much loaded and energised. What an awesome, live and active God we have. What if we always walked with eyes open, and ears active!

Difficult pregnancy turned into joy

I would like to share my testimony :
Fear not!...
Praise God for giving me such a challenging phase to share this testimony of my pregnancy. My 2017 promise was Heb 6:14, so we were earnestly praying for a baby and by Dec somehow had a gut instinct that I was pregnant.
Due to frequent travel and sleepless nights in Dec, on new year's eve I ended up running a high fever and fatigue. In doubt we checked and I was tested positive for pregnancy. The doctor suggested it may not be viral and asked to give blood test. I was tested positive for typhoid and admitted the next day. I was administered mild dosages and was told to wait on the baby till the fever is gone and do a scan to check the survival rate.
Along with this it was found I had type 2 diabetes. It became a heredity risk. I was asked to start insulin.
By God's grace fever came down in 2 days and my first scan miraculously turned out normal with baby placed well in the uterus with good heart rate.
Initial 4 weeks were difficult with sugar and typhoid diet conflicting as neither sweet nor diet food was controlling my nausea and heartburn. I used to puke like 6 times a day, cough n sneeze very frequently causing bad abdominal pain. My only consolation during tearful nights used to be this year promise, Fear not.(Exo 14:13)
In office siting billing issue they forced me to come join. Docs suggested bed rest for a month. I had to go as they didn't approve my leaves. Which caused a lot of stress with officially trying to explain my health condition.
At home not being able to explain the mood swings made things worse. So I decided to take a break and come to mom's house and ended up bleeding one fine day out of nowhere. Doc just told me to calm down, pray and relax, put me on injections for 3 days. Told to check baby's heart beat. By God's grace baby was fine again with the cervix not ruptured. However I had spottings for a while so took two months leave with injections taken every 15 days to strengthen the uterus.
The NT scan confirmed no abnormalities. Which encouraged me to stop fretting and trust God more.
I started going to work by April and It's a blessing that my location manager understood the situation n moved me to bench with minimal work and a desktop to be seated.
My target scan suggested a healthy active baby with the right weight. But due to the underlying emotional stress, my sugar was never coming down.
I couldn't get my maid come on time and maintain good diet. Incidents like the building collapse made it fluctuate even more bad.
By 8th month doc advised us clearly that Ill have to opt for cesarean due to high insulin levels. The whole family was upset over it and I just prayed God to give me wisdom to understand his plan. I was constantly arguing with God asking him a word to tell if c-sec is his will cuz Bible never speaks of unnatural delivery like that.
One of my Sunday school aunty had told my mother few weeks earlier to claim Isa 66:7 for my delivery and pray over it. That word shook me and spoke to me clearly. Still exercised and did a lot of manual work to see if normal delivery is possible. But by 37th week, my ctg was not showing satisfying fetal response rate which is essential to induce delivery. I made up my mind and 20th aug went for surgery directly claiming the word. By the grace of God our baby boy was born. Doc told us it was the wise choice to do csec as baby's head was high and didn't come down at all, waiting for normal could've been risky. Baby's sugar level turned out normal and though a lill underweight, he is doing well.
All through the 9 and half months struggle it was only God's hands and word that lead me. And I know He will continue to do so.
Kindly keep us in prayers for good health and strength.

Overcoming Addictions

Testimony- I used to watch Vijay TV serials whenever I get some free time. I knew its not going to edify me in anyways anß it's full of filth.I self righteously thought that it's just a time pass anß I don't watch it on regular basis anß I can be without watching it also and I have control over myself. But our Lord is a holy God and he wants us also to be holy and blameless in His coming.
கொஞ்சம் புளித்தமா பிசைந்தமா முழுவதையும் புளிப்பாக்குமென்று அறியீர்களா?1cor5:6
Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
God reminded me this verse and I gave up watching all commercial channels completely. To my astonishment I am feeling the presence of God and anointing in the way I used to have in the earlier days of my salvation. Praising and Thanking God for such conviction and restoring back the anointing.
Dear all,please sanctify yourself and even if it's a small addiction which Gods word is convicting u ,plz prayerfully try to come out if it.Definitely we cannot do it on our own. He is eagerly waiting to pour out His spirit on the thirsty souls.

Gals,in continuation of the testimony I also wanted to share this. There are 3 stages :
1.You don't know what is wrong that is hindering your relationship with God.If Ur in this stage please ask God to help you identify it.
2.You know what is hindering u from growing closer to the Lord but couldn't get over. Ask God the strength.
3.You know what might be hindering u from Gods anointing,but you haven't thought about working in that area as it seems too hard or impossible. If that's the case please repent,ask God to show u the reason, help u work with perseverance to overcome it.
Request u self analyze anß it's good if u could share it with Ur prayer partner /prayer buddy to be accountabke. Just like how u work in a defect, nail down and fix it-Lets do the same with our spiritual defects too.

Miracle baby after multiple miscarriages

I would like to share my testimony. I had 4 miscarriages before God blessed me with my son. It was a very tough phase of my life.

I was blammed for anything and everything by my in laws family. One question I had to frequently face was, you are praying family why are you not blessed till now... I used to reply them saying God has time for everything, he will do it swiftly at that time. But those people including by husband used to say Jesus can't do everything. I used to get very much irritated when someone talks negatively especially about God. Finally at one point I got into depression. I stopped talking to relatives, avoided family get-together & functions.

But Our Father God did not leave me. He always talks to me via songs. He reminded me of the song  'In his time....'. Finally God brought change in my husband. He started joining me in the early morning prayers around 3 or 4.

The same month Mar 2014, I conceived again 5th time. But the fear of miscarriage was haunting me. I had to travel to mcity from tambaram and whenever there is a speed breaker or  small jerks I will say a prayer keeping my hand on belly. God only knows how scared I was and how much I have tortured husband during driving because of that fear.

God was there with me and helped me to overcome. It will be easy to say or advice others but so difficult to take it in reality. I was wondering why these miscarriages to me, God reminded me of a prayer I did 5 years ago. My cousin brother was married for 8 years without baby. I prayed that they should be blessed with baby at least 1 day before us. They were blessed with twins a baby boy and baby girl just 1 month before us. My eyes were filled with tears hearing that.

Though the medical reason for my miscarriage was thyroid, my thyroid levels were still high when I conceived my son. So no doubts he has done it swiftly in his time. After this God gave burden for praying for people waiting for baby. He will show us people who are known or not known to us and we pray for them without asking them if they are waiting as it might hurt them. Now for the second baby, my husband said let's treat the thyroid and bring the levels to normal before planning next baby. The thyroid levels were normal but still there was a early miscarriage.

God has revealed to my husband that we are trusting medicines for thyroid level and not him. We both prayed together again early in the morning. You won't believe we will both wake up at the same time for prayer. This time my husband's trust was more than me. Thanking God for that. When I was praying I felt someone telling me that I will  conceive before June.

Praise God I conceived in March. Whenever the fear of miscarriage is haunting me I am praying God and he is leading me so far. This time during early days I travelled by shareauto. Before starting I will pray asking God for that white Tata ace auto and middle seat. Every time God has provided me exactly the same and I thanked him ( might be very silly but...)

  Thanks to the prayer buddy group for praying and I knew few people were praying for me and thanks to them to. One of my prayer buddy is pregnant too :) praise God. Please do remember in prayer. Sorry for very long post. Tried my best to keep short.

God's faithfulness

Hi everyone,  By God’s grace, we are happily completed our 12 years of togetherness and entering into 13th year.

I would like to testimony His marvellous grace and guidance with the below few miracles happened in our path of life.
May 24,2006 We got married. We were (not exactly we, I have to mean just ‘l’ here) waiting for 4 long years to get child from His hand. Even though it’s painful and stressful, God hold me and hug me in His mightiest hand so That phase gave me an opportunity to come close to Him and taught me lots of valuable lessons (patience, unconditional love, how to love the people who really hate us etc;). Then God promised me of double blessings. Don’t think like me to get twin babies here. God fulfilled His promise in His own way. Means I delivered my first one  on Feb 2011 and in the same year I conceived my second one. As He promised, He fulfilled His will in our life.

By Feb,2015, my husband got a severe heart attack and was in ICU. Believe me, By His grace and support, I was  not even worried even a single second. Full time I was with my hubby and in hospital room we hold each other’s hand every day and night and prayed. I testify now that he cured only because of His wounds. This miracle helps both of us to close even near to God and taste His love.

By Nov 2016, my husband quit his job to takeover full time family care as my little son shown some development delays. With our God’s guidance and my husband’s care, He is now well doing in His studies. Please keep him in your prayers that His life should lead many people to taste our God’s love.
Even now  we are waiting for God’s will and guidance in my husband's career but believe me we are not worrying about this now. Because till now His grace is sufficient for my family and we believe Him that it will be sufficient throughout our life.

Kindly hold us in your prayers to lead our life in His presence and up to His will. 😀

Losing a baby.

Glory to God alone

'Umakaga thanae ayya naan uyir vazgiraen ayya (It's for you I live alone)
intha udalum ullam ellam anbar umakkaga thanae ayya (My soul, heart and everything belongs to you, my Lord)'
I love this song..... Whenever I feel I am left alone, and in desperate conditions, God always reminds me I live for Him alone. But it is
hard to live on those lines in this world. Anyone will agree with me. Most often when we are surrounded by trials, we often ask God, "Why did it happen to me, Lord? If God is in control, how could He let it happen to me?" But, often we see the present and forget about our future. We forget that God always has the best for us. When God molds, He is preparing a great treasure for us too.
The below is my testimony, though with pains and fear, I believe that God is in control and He always does what is good to me.

I got married in May 2012, and as everyone expects myself and my husband were longing for the good news in our house. We use to pray, "Lord, let everything be done in your perfect time alone". I know, God will do everything in His time as some man of God blessed us saying, "God will bless your generation". But that day, on April 1st, 2013, I was praying to God, "Lord you have promised me to bless me with a child. It's gonna be 1 yr now since my marriage. And nothing happened. What plans do you have in my life?" Whenever these questions arise in my mind, God asks me to wait. That whole week, God was speaking with me with the verses from I Samuel, where Hannah was praying to God and
as God promised, she is blessed with a child. I took it as confirmation and was praising God for hearing my prayers. His plans are always different. Also, He was always showing me the verse where Hannah promised God to dedicate her child - "And she made this vow: "O Lord of Heaven's Armies, if you will look upon my sorrow and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I will give him back to you, He will be yours for his entire lifetime, and as a sign that he has been dedicated to the Lord, his hair will never be cut" - I Samuel 1:11(NLT)".
This verse got deep-rooted in my mind and I understood what God was expecting from me. I surrendered myself and gave God a promise that my first-born was for your service, and shared the same with my husband.

Meanwhile, one man of God prophesied to my mom that I will get conceived that month. It was May 20, 2013. I was very tired and there were some changes in my mind and body and when we went to the doctor, she confirmed that I am carrying. I along with my husband was praising God for all He did in our lives. Days were running and I felt the spirit of God lying with my baby. I was sure that my child was a chosen one for God. And I also had a chance to meet a family with my friend who were about to travel to abroad. When we were in prayer I felt the Spirit of God and the brother who was praying for me said that he saw my womb glowing. What else will make a mother happy? I was happy that my son will become an ambassador for Christ. I was in clouds writing poems about my son and singing songs for him. To my surprise he was very active. Doctors were surprised seeing him so active in my womb.

October became the busiest month for me because of my brother's marriage. And after my brother's marriage some questions arose in my mind as if someone was asking it to me, "Will you give your son to me as promised now?" I was totally confused as I thought that voice to be my imagination. I just prayed, "Lord, I know nothing will stop my Son growing for you. I can feel it. Be with him, guide him and use him as you wish".
The next day was so awful for me. It was October 26. I didn't feel the movement of my baby and went to the doctor. She said she was not able to hear the heartbeat and I was asked to take scan immediately. I felt like God was doing something and this will be a miracle. I didn't lose my faith but I just couldn't understand what was going on. "The baby will be safe", this was the only thought running in my mind. I just started talking with God in my mind and asked my friend to send a prayer request to everyone.

But things were not as I expected. The scan report said that my baby's heartbeat stopped and the doctor asked me to get admitted in hospital and they were arranging to take my baby out. I just thought, "What on earth was happening and why was it happening to me?" My eyes flooded with tears. Many were praying for me and were giving hope to me. Till last minute, I believed that nothing would happen to my child and I surrendered totally to God. One of my friends, who prayed for me, said there are angels visiting me and something great will happen.

Doctors were surprised to see me sitting without pain and they tried to take my baby out that night. It was about 1.30 am on Oct 27. My baby was born. He was so cute, fully formed with lots of hair (as God showed me) but he was dead. I was uncontrollable. The doctors were not able to give reasons for my baby's death as they found me and my baby healthy. But everything happened for a purpose and according to His will alone.
One of my friends who prayed for my baby fervently said that she saw a boy angel taken into heaven and a sister sent me a message, "God has taken your first born for the heavenly choir and the rest will be yours". She doesn't even know about my promise to God and my friend too sent a same message.
Though I am into worldly pain, I was happy that God chose my child to be with Him. As job said, "God gives and takes away", I bless the one who gave me and took away my child. My friend, who came to visit me, said, "Don't ever question God for the things happened?"

Though it made me strong in Faith, sometimes, some thoughts often pondered into my mind disturbing me. But God knows our heart right.
I know a missionary who was working among terrorists in Kashmir. He often came in my dreams for the past one week and was trying to convey something to me. But I couldn't understand anything. I got a call on 14th November from an unknown number. To my surprise, it was the missionary. He lost my number somewhere and was trying to contact me for the past one week. Somehow, he got my number he called me. He said, "God wants me to tell you something". I got shocked and he continued saying, God wants to tell you that you have trained your son well. He sung well and God loves hearing his song in heaven". I said in a surprise," What? "He said, this God was urging me to tell you for the past one week and he also said the song which I usually sing when my baby was in my womb. The missionary, who spoke to me, didn't know anything happened here and he was saying "I don't know why God was pushing me so much to tell you this." I explained him everything happened here and said, "If someone who knows everything have called and said these, I will trust in God but there will be a chance for me to think that they are trying to console me, but now I can't doubt God at all right".

I praise God for choosing my son in His heavenly choir. I know it will be very hard for us to forget when we lose some one. But God has some plans in our life. When we are engulfed with sorrow and despair with the thoughts, "Where is God?" Despite personal stress and painful circumstances, we can be confident that God is sovereign and He is in control of our life-boats. When we walk through tough situations, and if we focus on the waves of difficult situations around us without faith in Jesus, we may despair and sink. But remember always, that God has some purpose in our life and His plans are always for our good and trust Him to walk in His faithfulness.

His peace always will be with us and I am sure that I will be meeting my child in heaven someday. Everything He did was for a purpose. It might be a testing time for us or God is preparing us for something greater.

I am thankful to everyone who prayed for my family in tears. It's not that our prayers were unanswered but God has a better plan for us is what I believe. Hoping to see you all soon.

Lost and found key

Hi all..I found the keys ...
Praise the Lord and thank u.so much for ur prayers...

It was in the same bag which I had searched for the whole day...

I dint sleep till now cos I was so tensed and worried that I lost the keys ..
Felt so irresponsible and unforgivable...
But I couldn't take that fact as well cos I put my heart n soul into my work...
So it was pestering me till now...

I only asked u to pray ...i dint pray cos I felt I had been irresponsible...careless...

So few mins back I went back to my bag to make a final attempt search for my keys ...and there it was invisible stuck in my bag in the sides becos of a tiny whole in the first layer ...

Morning itself I had emptied the whole bag shook it up n down ...nothing came up...

Now suddenly its like magic popping up ...

I can't thank God for His mercy

As iron sharpens iron

Testimony time

Praise God for the wonderful gals who took lotta pain amidst their busy schedules to create buddy grp, reminders to pry, pushing into the throne room, nudging to be on my knees, consistent in sending memory verse, sharing ur testimony/learning.

Thanking God for the burden to initiate n strength to continue. Gals u r all lighting up/increasing/motivating someone's faith in ways u can't even imagine. Keep up the good work He has started.
Initially I was like " Ahem. Okay😏" when got repeated reminders with fancy taglines n just moved on.

But when I prioritised to jus pray for me, hubby, kids, buddy, nation, state as soon as I wake it helped me pray more during my QT. Hold on. Am not perfect yet. Still there are days wer I miss out QT, Oly bedtime pryr(not even that too), no Bible reading. But this lil act has *strengthened my faith immensely* that too wen sailing thru rough tides. Help me trust in Him completely without a shadow of doubt. Helping me to claim His promises in a totally 200% impossible sitn. If I(imperfect, lazy, finding excuse, busy SAHM) can do it you too can. Never too late to start. And pls share to encourage others.
Thanks for patiently reading thru. God bless😇

Earlier I used to pray but not repeatedly. Like Hannah's pryr pour out n forget abt it. For eg I blvd that He wud save my family. I did trust n wait but my faith was passive like He wud do it one day in His time. Though second part is true claiming His promises individually for my fmly helped my faith to b active n strngthnd. ( Courtesy: War room)
Even d lil pryrs I do with kids B4 going out. Can see the changes it brought in myself. And this verses *Luke 11:5-8* esp V8.

Father's love

I want to share something I observed this morning: when my daughter woke up she wanted to cuddle with me. My husband dotes on her - loves her to bits and adores her. He LOVES cuddling with her in the morning. She pushed him away this morning.

I know how much he longs for her and a little time with her in the morning. I could not change my daughter's mind to be nice to her dad. Then the getting ready part - I was losing patience with her as she was in one of her moods. When I got pissed off and yelled saying - me and dad will get ready and will leave to work and she can sit alone at home.

Till then he was busy with his head in the computer - the moment I yelled at her, he went to her to comfort her, so that she does not feel bad. I was reflecting on how God treats us - His children while I was observing my husband's love for our child. Truly the father's heart is tender.

God's grace pre-post marriage

Dear sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ, I want to share my testimony.

I got married in Dec 2015 but before my marriage I met with an accident when I was driving my scooty to our home and it happened after one week of my engagement. I didn't wear my helmet at that time. But I thank God for saving me, from not having any major injuries.

Then during my marriage time, there was heavy rain in Chennai. We people had no idea what we were going to do on December 7, many of our relatives told you could have postpone the marriage na etc, but we didn’t want to change the marriage date and we prayed that "Jesus - you have the power to control the rain n flood , we trust in you, please take control of our marriage." And God did a miracle on our marriage, the rain got stopped in December 6th afternoon itself and there shall be no rain after that. It was a great miracle in my life and truly He is a Miraculous Lord.

And as the days were passing common problems everyone will be facing that people surrounding us asking about child. We prayed for that also... At that time my husband’s birthday was getting nearer, I had nothing to give any present as it is his first birthday after our wedding, my parents told me we will give you certain amount and you buy anything for your husband with that money, but I rejected coz If i want to give something, it should be with my own. I asked to Jesus, Appa please help me in this situation to give something to him , in that week I got a verse from 2 Chronicles 14:11 ."Lord, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty" , when I got the verse I had a thought ok God is going to do something, we will wait. Finally his birthday came, I missed my period also and I checked in UPT it was a positive  result ☺️ that is the happy news on his birthday and is the biggest present on that day and God did what He told to me. And during my delivery also there were lot of last minute complications. But God protected us mightly. After 1 and half year, I delivered a boy baby on June 7th.

I Thank God for His abundant grace and mercy on us.

Job after 3 years break

Testimony: I quit Infosys on June 2014 ... I never knew why did i quit ... All i felt was God wants me to move out... There were many asking me, whether I will be into full time ministry... I thought the same.. But everyday,God was teaching me you are a full time minister where ever you are especially ay your home.

At the same time, I got conceived and My husband was saying like this is the time for rest and after Dorit was born, i was mostly in my mom's place.... It was because of my husband who was insisting me that they need you now... So after coming to my in laws house i was visiting my mom often. There were so many issues at home that day especially in my brother's family and God was consoling mom because of my daughter. After the death of my brother, I felt like more responsibility. My husband was in full support to my parents and my in laws too asked me to be with them. So, I started praying and looking out for jobs as I felt time to move into corporate again. I was searching for a job for one year but none i get selected. I was too depressed.

But then an option came, which I didn't accept for a week as the location is out of chennai and I didn't tell my husband too. But when I told him, he said if it is from God, don't reject it.. just go and attend.. of God is paving you a way, He will take care. Then I replied them, i will be there for interview and i attended. When I was with infy, i came out as SSE and had 3 years break... So everyone was asking about the break and they were offering a role less than SSE and less salary.

But when I came here i was told it was a team management role and I no need tech skill... By God's grace i cleared 2 round... Seriously, i didn't know any answers for the questions they have asked but God helped me to answer in the own way relating with my family life. At the end of the intervirw, i was told it was for PM role and I told them I have no experience but the reply i got was we believe in you. Praise God. I don't deserve that but if God wants to do something, nothing can stop Him. I would be moving to Madurai for a period of time.

Got so much promises and confirmation from Him. I would be moving with my mom and daughter.. i thought it would be a break for my mom too from all the thoughts she has now..Keep us in your prayers....For all the arrangements there.. Glory be to Him alone

Fgb family restored

I have seen my mother as the hardest Hindu
She used to scold me when I mentioned first time the word ‘sin’
She became a believer just few months before my marriage
And she used to pray for my marriage.She lived to see my brother’s marriage
He also became a believer. My grand mother became a believer.
Now I’m the 3rd generation in my family
They both raced me in the Lord
11th hour believers

Baby miracle

I'd like to share my testimony for the glory of God.
I was conceived in dec'16. From day one I was praying for a healthy baby. To my shock, my 5th month scans showed anomalies n my doc threatened me saying there is a problem in my baby's head. I was completely shaken and spent the rest of the day weeping. My mother asked me a question and that made me realise whose daughter I was. The question was "how could words of a wordly doc drown u this much when you always look to your father in heaven?". I again started to pray for my baby's health, but this time, with greater faith. Changed my gynec and showed the reports. All glory to God. Doc said it was all fine. I continued to pray n led a very normal lifestyle.  I even drive alone to different places.God spoke to my husband that he should name the child Shalom. As this name is gender-neutral, we were not able to guess the baby's gender. August 28 was the due. Early morning at 1am on the 27th my membrane was ruptured n I was hurried to the hospital. No pain so asusual I was induced. Doctor's said they can for max wait for 72 hrs for normal delivery after the rupture. My womb was only some Milli meters open on admission. They kept increasing the dose every six hours but unfortunately my womb gave way only to some 5 cm after 2 days continuous suffering. I had already made up my mind not to utter any other word than Jesus however b d pain. God gave me strength to stick to that decision. Doctors n nurses pitied on my long stay in labour ward n few Christian nurses encouraged me to cling on to my calling Him. But when 73 hrs crossed, docs said that the womb is now open but the baby is not coming out so let's do a c-section. Theatre was made ready. My parents cried to God for help and in that time when the doc said, this is your final try. I pushed saying "Jesus help me". A beautiful baby was born on 30th August, 4:15am and it was a boy. All glory n Honor to God.. my son was absolutely healthy. Even in the darkest of times, let's cling to Him. I believe going through this prolonged labour is for His glory to be revealed some day. Amen!

SGB-testimony

My testimony..I was born in a Christian family that got converted from Hindu to Christian.My father and mother chose to select my name and named in church..think this could be the God's plan.. Studied in a Christian School though not close to God with all my ego ,pride with me...I was school third in school so still more had the notation' what is for me...' days passed and in 12th STD I was not recognize..I lost my marks and everything and no friends nothing was with people who said will never leave ..left  and only companion was my mother ..Did not even had the choice joined Bsc physics I'm WCC college but truly speaking I don't wanna go.But prayed and God changed my father s heart and brought form on the last day.
Somehow joined engineering​ college studied and learnt the love of  God and finally graduated and waiting for job..
No answer and my waiting period was almost 8 months .I had a big dream of joining Infosys.. From where I learnt don't know even iny second year I have wrote that in the Bible and kept.

One fine day during my waiting time God showed me that slip and clinged on to God claiming that and I can say that was my Golden period when I truly learnt the love of God and the Lord revealed his love for me.Now expecting to have the same time but ... Finally got selected in Infosys..with dream I entered but had really s tough time and.purely by God's grace I completed and came here to mcity.I was introduced to fellowship by my school friend Mishael and Jan 2012 I started going to Thursday fellowship and building prayer and these truly helped in many ways..The seal people have for God is really amazing.Got sisters like Juliet,Grace,Carol,Ajantha, Beulah,(Jansi,Angel -my bus.friends whom I will not allow them to work but asking so many doubts wrt to Bible .. Patiently Akka will respond) and few more who really are trusting people who really encouraged and made me come close to God..In few days time shifted to B4 and soon joined the building prayer with a lovely friend Anisha ..
Really I thank God for all the prayers she offered in the steps..
One thing i still remember is she prayed saying I should get a good husband and we should pray and my house should be like a little heaven..
God did honored and gave me guy who is from my same caste,just like us converted Christian's and made my marriage in a grand manner..My only prayer is Joshua s prayer "as of me and my family we should serve the Lord" .
I did conceived in 2016 and had my joy only for four weeks and lost my baby but I thank God did not even have DNC or anything .. Again I cried a lot and finally my prayer was on Nov 9th 2016 where holy Spirit prompted me to pray for a child and that week in church , Bhaskar Anna preached about shunamite lady and told by next year you will have a child .. Encouraged and that Wednesday went for normal checkup but I got confirmation that am pregnant

And God helped me find favor in office and finally blessed us with a beautiful girl baby born after 3 generation to my in-laws family..They all said that curse is there that every girl baby born to first male child died.
Even my father-in-law is first boy and did had that the girl baby was born and died... But to my husband who's is the first son now has the girl baby I believe God will show mercy on our child ..
And bless her...

Thanks for the fellowship without which would have lost hope in my Life.

Praise God for all Anna and Akka whom I received through this Fellowship

Delivered from curses.

Claim Jesus bore all our courses on the cross and pray... It's necessary to pray for it.. if possible with fasting. You need not fear but you need to pray.

We had problems in our family. In my mother's family there are 4 daughters. My mother is second. 1,2 and 4 th  daughters had committed abortion due to work related reasons.

Though they were Christians they were not rooted in Christ. So they didn't take it serious. And the result... 1st daughter had two daughters.. when they married they were unable to bear children..

2 nd one was my mother. For her also two daughters.. my sis n I. My sister didn't have a child for 10 long years. She had 3 abortions. But my sister and my brother in law prayed fervently.. they struggled a lot and now they are blessed with a boy.

I was also about to miscarry in my 2 nd month for both pregnancies but graciously rescued the babies and gave them a full term.. so what I say is these curses r true but there's nothing God cannot do.

When we confess and pray fervently God will definitely hear us and break all curses.. claim.all verses from the Bible and pray with faith

Delivered from restlessness

Dear all, wanted to thank each one of you for reviving my spirit today during demo sessions. Every week is a blessing. I want to share my testimony.

I was going through personal struggles in many areas which made me feel like I am in a pit. Was not able to be peaceful at home, office or anywhere. Although I fasted a week in the morning and prayed and cried a lot daily for deliverance, I was not completely out of worries which held me back in a pit. I did speak to Fshp friends which helped a little, last week's church message also spoke to me but not complete deliverance.

Today the illustration which Kural and Deepika gave on how she was holding to worries and not able to do anything.....  God spoke to me very clearly on what was holding me back and I had complete deliverance.  I feel so light  and peaceful. Praising God for each of you. 😊👍💃

Thank you for your prayers. God did deliver me today during vbs demo.

Illustration

Hi friends, I want to share my testimony to encourage you if you are stuck in worries/series of troubles.
On last Sunday, during our vbs practice in church, a very simple illustration just spoke to me very clearly. Illustration: You can imagine me Joyce holding on two big boxes in my hand which is almost touching my cheeks.

Now Beu wants to play with me and throws a ball to me. I try to catch but not able to. Oh it's worrying me, worries me, not able to play although I wish to....I'm so sad an worried.

Now Beu gives me a chocolate a favorite of mine to eat. I got it in my hand but still not able to open it. Oh again it's worrying me, poor me not able to eat the tasty chocolate. Oh I'm worried.

Now Beu asks me a help to write something on a chart that is on the floor. Again I try to bend to write but I am not able to. Oh worries me, worries me.... I'm not even able to write ... Useful for nothing.... Poor me ....

Moral of the illustration: once I handed over the boxes to Jesus, I was able to play, eat chocolate and write. After we pray, we still carry the how's, what's and why's of our problems. We need to give away the problems to Jesus at his feet and be free and happy. 😄👍💃

Saved from cult. JW.

I have a praise point related to this topic... My own sister Hannah is very timid, God loving sweet person and when she moved to Malaysia with her family, she didn't find good church nearby and few JWs started visiting her offering prayer help through her tough times.. after 5 yrs, she moved to Mangalore and one of the JW couple came to visit and made sure she connects with their Mangalore JW church.. and even if she missed one service or a bible study, someone will come and check on them... We tried to talk her out of it but she started arguing and calling my mom ignorant of truth.. at that point my mom and my bro stopped visiting her and my family almost fell apart because of the difference of opinion..

I prayed for her change of heart and asked my friends and fellowship to pray for her too... And read the book "kingdom of Cults" to learn more about JW and told my sister what is different about their teachings and what to look for...

Finally God answered our prayers .. six months back, she found something not adding up and she stopped going to that church and started going to the CSI church nearby.. she is not happy there Becos they focus more on offerings, sales and fellowships and not doctrines.. but God has somehow stopped her from going back to JW...

For those who think it happens somewhere, rethink.. it might happen in your own house or in your life when we start to follow wrong doctrines...watch and pray that your household is protected from it everyday

Saved from Cobra

A testimony: I called my dad yesterday morning. He went to the car shed at his residence at 530 in the morning. He usually does not switch on the lights, but yest he did. He entered and went to the right - on the left side he saw a fully grown cobra ready to attack. Since he has lived in the village in the early years of his life, he has always had his wits about him. He found something to throw on the snake and hit it with a stick continuously till it died.

Some background - my ancestors were cursed by some Hindu saint it seems for having stole his idols. He cursed my family saying you will die of snake bite. My grandpa's brother did. On the day my grandpa died a snake came to our house. We don't know how it entered - there is no possibility as we can see it. So the snake coming yest - a fully grown black cobra nonetheless, my mom is very scared.

I thanked God for saving my dad's life and when I did my daily reading - this the verse that touched my heart, deut 4:4 But you who held fast to the Lord your God are alive today, every one of you.

My father is not a believer yet. But knowing that he has been saved to continue to live has given me the additional assurance that he will indeed live to accept Jesus.

Beulah sends the message to pray for your loved ones everyday  - please do so. I do, I am not saying because of my prayers only my dad is alive. I am saying that your prayer has a value and a power. Don't underestimate regular prayer for your family members.

I know that under Christ there is no curse. He became that for us and saved us. We can only be blessed - no one can curse us. No weapon formed against you can prevail. So if you feel scared about curses, remember what Christ did on the cross for you. No evil will come nigh your dwelling place.

Chennai floods Dec11 2015

After thoughts #chennaifloods

Past week had been gruesome for those in Chennai. As someone stated in fb, the reality of having everything and yet nothing was a nightmare.
You have a high end phone, but no charge nor any signal
You have a house, but can't stay- as it is flooded
You have a car, but its jammed.
You have money in the bank, but no functioning ATM to draw cash.
A black out for days together- and no candle in the stores, no water in the lu, no milk, with vegetables in the refrigerator stinking, water in the ground floor, and some had it till first floor. Losing documents, beds, all electronic stuffs. For those in high rise buildings, no elevators. Imagine having a sick child, or an elderly at home?!
And above all the fear of losing a loved one in the rains.

Speaking to friends at work, I realize there had been some extraordinary moments on December 1, 2 at office. I am jotting them down, tired of asking them to write.

- Complete strangers, have accomodated Infoscions in their homes.
- Gave them dry warm clothes to wear, fed them with food, and a place to sleep.
- Strangers have given lift for Infoscions to reach Guduvanchery/Vandaloor, free of cost. ( Some did take exorbitant amount)
- Some stayed in Churches, some in Mosques
- Some stayed in SRM University classrooms

With phones switched off/no signal to contact their families, a total blackout, completely drenched and shivering in the cold rains, with feet sore walking on water for hours together, I can't imagine the ordeal they went through.

The next day wasn't better either. Getting back to their homes have been a struggle, where each Infoscion had been on their own, and taken their own decision, to reach home, by walk, bus, or own transport. Those who ventured back to office, had more difficulty ( No power/no water/no money in ATM in the DC)and reached their home only on Thursday!

I don’t want to blame, but what could have been done is
- The situation of the nearby lakes, could have been checked and declared holiday on that D day.
- When there was water on the campus –the decision to stop further buses- re-route/cancel shuttles to office could have been done.
- The Bus Drivers could have been informed, to take the buses directly to SRM.
- The train information sent by SMS, misled many. Most were stranded. The trains did not ply after 6.

Some notable points
- Most affected where married Infoscions- who try to get early to office and get out early.
- Some have checked the board in the morning and have started from home, inspite of the rain, to complete their work.
- Men in the bus, were slow to make decisions or lead or even help. Most of the women folks- have ventured out into the rain or walked across, in an attempt to get back to their homes and children.
- The campus was cleaned thanks to the housekeeping and facilities, and making it operational on Monday. I can’t imagine the amount of work involved. ( to know that the housekeeping staffs worked, to clean our campus, when their own homes were flooded and devastated)
- Few got a call from Mysore Infosys, asking about the well being/safety of the individual. ( I got it on Dec 6)

Really I don't have words to say how our Father has led us so far.

During 2016 September, I got a chance to travel onsite, for which I was following up for a very long time. Whenever we (myself + husband) used to pray we used to ask, 'Lord where ever we are we should be together as a family'. So when I got this onsite opportunity, we both discussed and decidde as I will travel first and he will be joining in few months along with my kid. I was literally broken to leave my kid and once all processing was started, I started telling my kid that I am going to travel and she will be joining me, once I am settled. She was like ok. On that day I was travelling I asked God , Lord she should not cry in the airport. Please console my little one. Amazingly she didn't cry. It was all managed. I thank our Father so much.

God gave good people around to help me out in finding house and a nice christian fellowship which I ever thought.

Post reporting at onsite, my husband and kid planned to travel by December last week 2016.. My husband has to resign his job as there is no other go for him to travel apart from that. He rang me up to let me know that he resigned his job and I gave him an update as current project is going to be closed by January and I don't know what is next?. Still we were like ok, we have decided and we have surrendered everything in Lord's hand, let only HIS will to happen and family joined me and that assignment got over by January 2017. When I was discussing about the next project with my manager, he said there is a project coming on April, you can go back and come back by April. I immediately replied back saying , If I am going back, I am not going to come back again' I don't know from where I got that guts to say. In 3 days same manager called me back and again confirmed me the statement I gave him. I said back again Yes I m not coming back. I don't want to shuffle with my family. Then he said ok there is a project for 1 month in another location but not related to my skill.I said its fine I have experience in that task as well I can manage.

We moved to the other location and I went office and my husband was looking for an accommodation for us. It was bit tough for us to get an accommodation in a week and we still didn't vacate our existing house. He got few appointment for viewing the house when we went to view the property, we were not even able to view the property and got the information from the agent as that house owner is not ready to let the property. Its not with just 1 house, it occurred with 2 property with similar reasons. By that week end we were about to finalize a property and I started from office early, when I reached hotel My husband said even this property they can't let. But we decided let's go and talk to the agent directly as just we need to sign the agreement and now its cancelled. we were like Lord why all these are happening. we went to the agent and they said they cant do anything but my husband was still discussing with the old man there and suddenly, by our God's grace he remembered they sold a property a week ago and checked whether its available . No one will believe , we got the property with all things we required...God alone granted it.

New assignment was only for 1 month and managers over there mentioned that they will try to figure out another assignment there itself by the end of 1 month. God granted the next assignment which I could work till the end of my visa duration. But those days were very tough to manage and our Father God help us to cross all those tough times.

New project was so good on the initial days but suddenly I was into a big storm which I didn't expect. My client manager was unhappy with me and it put me in to so much tension and pressure. At one point even my husband mentioned I don't want to see you going mad like this. I don't mind going back. Daily while I am travelling to office I kept reading Psalm 43. Later slowly the situation got changed. God helped me to prove myself in the same place. Hallelujah.

But the time I was leaving the same manager said I assure you, you will be back soon. we will work together. Its unbelievable Its all our Almighty work. I am nothing.

When I was travelling I came in a short term visa and as per company policies, we need 1 year cooling period to get the next visa processed. Before my visa processing was inprogress I mentioned my husband that we are worshiping a Lord who change everything. Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE to HIM. He will make a way. By the time I am at onsite, short term visa got cancelled by government itself and anyone can apply immediately for the next visa.


Again God made everything possible and we traveled back to onsite in a short duration. I was like I visited for a vacation. The same client manager mentioned, they need me in the project they are going to start. All was good. God helped us to finalize a house while we are in India itself. Once we are back we were able to get schools admission for our kid is a short duration.

Same manager mentioned we will travel together for a long time.. :-).. God alone made it happen. Its not me or my knowledge or my work...

Still my husband was looking for a job. He attended few interviews. On the day while he has to go for the interview we together neeldown and prayed Lord we need answers for this prayer by this month. His interview went fine but he was informed that they is an interview the next day based on that they will decide. But our Lord grant that job for my husband. HIS name alone to be glorified. Its been 1 yr 1 month he was looking for a job.. But God granted it in HIS right time.

All glory to HIM alone. I know there were so many was praying for me. Thank you Lord for answering the prayer.

There were peoples said I took a wrong decision. But for worldly eyes yes it is a wrong decision. But we as a family we took it trusting our father God. Thank God for putting a thought of oneness between us.


All glory to our Father.

As far me and my family will serve the Lord.

I cant count my blessings

FGB chosen

Dear sisters, have been thinking to share my testimony in this group since long, today only could spend time to do it.  I am a FGB. My husband is working in infy. When I was doing my masters in the year 2013 I happened to meet a girl named sheena, through her I came to know the Lord.
Sheena was different from anyother person whom I had met. 

I found her always being joyful,  different from others in her way of speech, manners etc. These qualities attracted me to make friendship with her and also started attending a small gathering in one of my seniors room where sheena used to attend everyday @8 pm(just to spend some time with sheena). There, they sing songs, read a portion from bible and pray.

The very thing which attracted me initially is they pray for the needs of someone whom they had not even seen. Bcox till then I have not prayed for anyone else except for myself and my parents.  Also they pray for very trivial things even. I wondered God must be busy in doing great things why would he concern about such trivial things about us they are praying for.  As time went by I understood the God whom they are praying to is different from the one whom I had been praying till then

I understood this God whom they are worshipping is loving, caring and is concerned even about the smallest things of our life. So I started liking the gathering and as I wanted to know more about the God of the bible, I started going regularly(this time not for sheena but to know the Lord).  Then I learnt the Lord hates sin but loves sinners.  I understood that I am a sinner and I needed a savior. 

By then I got my job and posting in Bangalore and badly wanted to attend any such gathering in Bangalore.  Through a common fren got to meet a family at Bangalore.  They invited me to their house a lot of times and shared the gospel very clearly.  My hubby also was in Bangalore ( not wedded then). Though he is  from a Christian background and a church goer, he also heard the glorious gospel of the Lord for the first time through this family at Bangalore. Lord had enabled us to open our hearts and receive him as our Lord and savior.
After which we were married in sep 2014.  Though I am from a hindu background. My father agreed to marry a Christian and had not shown any opposition for me to follow Jesus Christ.  Though there were problems Lord’s hand was upon us all the time.

Now we are married for 3 years 3 months and waiting for the Lord's time for the blessing of fruit of womb. I have some health issues and am taking fertility treatment. Please uphold us in your prayers. Lord has been faithful all these days taking care of us, protecting and guiding us, meeting our needs. Though we lack certain earthly blessings, Lord had satisfied my soul with his peace during all situations. During all these days, Lord has also chastised me in many areas, moulding me and helping me to grow in him.

Please pray for my parents to know the Lord and be saved.  I thank Lord for helping me share my testimony.

Sorry for so much details about Sheena, mentioned all that just to highlight how someone's life can influence and lead us to Christ and be saved.

Lost and Found- Bag

First miracle of the year 2018.....
Yesterday I lost my baggage in the bus... I felt very bad and prayed to God..Immediately I got the promise as
"Trust The Lord With All Your Heart "
Being in that miserable state, my heart was not willing to submit... I sought the help from the word of God... I happened to read the passage from Mathews 4... It gave me lots of courage and today morning I got my baggage back miraculously...
Our God is faithful and always mindful of us...sometimes incidents like these kindles our faith even more...praise be to the lord and saviour Jesus Christ.
