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.
