EBENEZER – The God Who Helps

Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

The Bible says in 2 Chronicles 14:11, “And Asa cried out to the LORD his God, and said, ‘LORD, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power.’” Our Lord has many names, and one of those names is Ebenezer, which means “The God who helps.” He is our ever-present help in times of trouble.

Today, you may be facing a situation in your work, your business, your family, or even in your ministry, where you feel helpless. You might be standing alone, with no one to support or help you. Perhaps you’re overwhelmed, without strength, and wondering, “Will no one help me out?” If these are the tears of your heart today, look up to the Lord, just as Asa did. Asa cried out not just to any god, but to his God. He knew that the Lord’s ability to help does not depend on how many people are on your side or how powerful they are. It is nothing for God to help—whether with many or with those who have no power.

This very morning, lift your hands toward the presence of God and say, “Lord, our God, it is nothing for You to help, whether with the mighty or the powerless. I have no strength left, Lord. My heart has lost its hope. I feel weak and unable to move forward. Lord, I ask for Your help. My thoughts are clouded, my energy is gone. Help me, Lord. I can’t go on without You.”

Fall before the Lord and cry out, “My Lord, my God!” Ask Him to renew your body: “My weakened kidneys, my tired lungs, my struggling heart, my liver and brain—restore them, Lord. Strengthen my hands that hang low. Strengthen my feeble legs. Strengthen my heart.” As you keep praying, a power from heaven will descend upon you. The Lord Jesus Christ, who strengthens you, will come and fill you with new strength and health. He will make you able to do all things through His strength.

Powerful testimony:
Brother Alfred Varghese, who lives in Dubai, was once trapped in an online scam. Someone had misused his registered Emirates ID and involved him in a fraud worth 2,829 AED, which is nearly ₹50,000 in Indian currency. The burden of payment fell unjustly on him. Unable to bear the pressure, he filed a complaint with the police. At this desperate moment, he emailed a prayer request to Brother Stephen, asking for prayer. After receiving a reply with a Word from God and a promise verse, a miracle happened—the police took immediate action, and God delivered him from the issue completely. The Lord helped him. And today, if you’ve been cheated or wronged, believe that the same God who helped Alfred will redeem and honour you too.

Let’s pray:
Loving Lord, we thank You. You are our strength and our ever-present help in time of need. When Asa called upon You and said, “LORD, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power,” You came running and gave him victory. You are the Lord who strengthens us. Today, many enemies may stand against Your children—whether they are spiritual forces, problems at work, health issues, or emotional burdens. But Lord, strengthen their hands. Make them sturdy. Let them not fall. Before every challenge, let Your strength rise within them and grant them the victory. In Jesus’ mighty name we pray,
Amen.

Jehovah Shalom

Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.The Bible says in Isaiah 32:18, “My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.”

The Lord is prophetically declaring to you today:
“You are My children. And for My children, I — the God of peace, Jehovah Shalom — will grant peace.” From this day forward, your homes will be filled with peace. Healing will flow through your households. Every spirit that disrupts this peace — spirits of strife, suicidal thoughts, nightmares, depression, and intrusive negative thoughts — are being cast out right now by the mighty hand of God.

The presence of God is descending into your home this very moment.
Call out, “Jesus, Jehovah Shalom,” and He will come. That husband who argued with you constantly — he will be transformed into a man of peace. That mother-in-law who caused you distress — she will become a vessel of peace. Those children who once fought and disobeyed — from today, the God of peace will rule over them, and their peace will overflow into your life.

And not just that — the Lord says:
“I will give you your own house.”
The “secure dwellings” mentioned in Isaiah not only point to our eternal home in heaven, but also reflect God’s desire to bless you with a stable, permanent home here on earth. If you’re struggling in a rented house, God sees your tears and is preparing a place of your own.

Testimony of Sister Jeyaseeli from Thoothukudi:
“For 16 years, we lived in a leased house. Suddenly, the owner gave us just two months to vacate. Everywhere we searched, houses were available only for rent — and the brokers demanded one full month’s rent as commission. My husband is a fisherman, and during April and May — the fishing ban season — he has no income. We were deeply troubled. But one day, while watching Heaven TV, we heard Brother Stephen’s message. We joined him in prayer during the live session.

Just minutes after the prayer ended, someone called us — and miraculously, we found a beautiful house for lease at just 5 lakhs! The Lord provided us a peaceful home to dwell in. We give all glory to God!”

Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You. Lord, many of Your children have faced events that shattered their peace — losses, pain, shame, and sorrow. Yet, with the little strength they have, they continue in hope. Lord, today we pray: establish Your peace in their homes. Let Jehovah Shalom dwell permanently in their houses. Let praise and worship rise up from their families. Every evil spirit that has tormented their homes — we command it to leave right now in the name of Jesus Christ. Fill every house with Your glorious presence. In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.

Cast Your Cares on Him

Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Word of God declares in 1 Peter 5:7, “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”

What a comforting assurance this is! Today, the Lord is speaking directly to your heart. Whatever burdens, worries, or anxious thoughts you are carrying, He is inviting you to lay them at His feet. Some of you, even as you read this message, feel the gentle prompting of the Holy Spirit nudging you to surrender everything to God. Do not hold back—trust that every concern placed in His hands will be cared for and resolved on the mountain of the Lord.

Perhaps you’re struggling with joblessness, mounting debts, family troubles, disobedient children, broken relationships, or painful separations. Maybe your heart is burdened with fear, loneliness, or rejection. Are you a parent whose child no longer listens? A spouse abandoned in confusion and hurt? Have you been mocked or shamed, pushed away from seeing your loved ones? Whatever your situation may be, remember this—you were never meant to carry these burdens alone. The Lord is your refuge. He never desires you to dwell in sorrow. He is the God who turns mourning into dancing, and He will surely act on your behalf today.

Even if your hopes were dashed, perhaps through disappointing exam results or missed opportunities, do not despair. The Lord is not silent—He has an answer for you. He will never let your pain go unanswered.

Testimony of God’s miraculous power.
Sister Chithra from Chennai had been suffering from severe stomach pain. After medical examinations, the doctors diagnosed her with PCOD—cysts in her uterus—and advised immediate surgical removal of the uterus. In her distress, she came to the Chennai Prayer Centre and shared her condition with Brother Stephen, asking for prayer. With deep compassion and faith, he prayed earnestly over her. After this encounter, she returned for a follow-up scan. To the doctors’ amazement, there was no sign of any cysts—her uterus was perfectly healthy. The surgery was no longer needed. Sister Chithra praises God for this divine healing and testifies that the God who healed her will surely do the same for you.

Let us pray together:
Loving Lord, we thank You for Your mercy and compassion. We surrender every worry, every anxious thought, and every burden to You today. Let these worries be transformed into testimonies of joy. Let sorrow be exchanged for gladness, and let every tear be wiped away and replaced with rejoicing. Father, remove the cup of struggle and fill Your children with peace. Bring an end to every disease, every moment of shame, every court case, and every mocking voice. We pray all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ,
Amen.

Peace Within Your Borders

Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Psalm 147:14 – “He grants peace to your borders and satisfies you with the finest of wheat.”

This verse is a powerful promise. “Borders” represent your workplace, business, ministry, education, and every area that surrounds your life. In these very places where peace was lost—through job pressure, financial loss, betrayal, or halted dreams—God promises to grant peace.

If your peace has been stolen by fear of job loss, tension at your workplace, or setbacks in ministry, the Lord says: “I will grant peace to your borders.” He will work a miracle in those areas where you’ve struggled. Not only will He restore peace, but He will also satisfy you with the finest of wheat—a symbol of abundance, satisfaction, and fulfilled life.

Are you living a life of lack and dissatisfaction? Has your home construction halted and left you with sorrow? Today, surrender it all to the Lord. He will complete what was left unfinished and bless you with peace and satisfaction.

Testimony:
Sister Angel – Sriperumbudur, “My husband was addicted to alcohol for 20 years—he drank every day without fail. We attended the Anbarin Paathathil Oru Naal fasting prayer and submitted our prayer request. At the end, Brother Stephen prayed, placing fragrant oil on his head and spoke a Mangala Vaarthai (word of blessing). I asked my husband what word was spoken. He replied, ‘I don’t know, but I feel I will never drink again.’ From that day, he completely stopped drinking. Now, our home is filled with peace. For 20 years we lacked peace—today, it has been restored. Praise be to God!”

Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You. Whatever has stolen the peace of my children—be it their job, ministry, education, or home—today we surrender it all to You. Let the God of peace go before them, guide them, and bring them back in peace. Fulfill this word over their lives throughout this year. Let satisfaction and joy replace every place of sorrow. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Fear of the Lord Prolongs Life

Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Bible says in Proverbs 10:27, “The fear of the LORD prolongs days.” What a powerful promise this is from the Word of God!

Perhaps some of you reading this have been forsaken by doctors. You may be suffering from cancer, undergoing kidney dialysis, or facing issues like lung failure, heart disease, or tuberculosis. Whatever your condition may be, today the Lord speaks to you through His Word: “The fear of the Lord prolongs days.” This is a divine truth.

If your lifestyle has brought harm to your body—through alcohol, smoking, or unhealthy choices—today is the day to return to God. Maybe your liver is damaged because of excessive drinking. Your sugar levels may have risen due to bad habits. Your lungs may be congested from smoking, and your heart weakened. Maybe wrong relationships or dealings have affected your blood. Even now, it is not too late. Say to the Lord with a sincere heart, “Forgive me, Lord. I will not continue in this sin. I want to begin a new life.” If you take that step today, the Lord will touch you, heal you, and prolong your days. He is merciful and mighty to save.

Powerful testimony:
Sister Mary Alvin from Mumbai shared her experience with us. Her husband, Alvin, had a stent placed in his heart three years ago due to chest pain. He was doing well, but one night at around 11 p.m., he suddenly experienced severe chest pain again and was rushed to the hospital. In that moment of fear and desperation, Sister Mary contacted the Chennai Prayer Centre over the phone and requested prayer. A prayer warrior prayed earnestly with her, and after the prayer, the doctors ran several tests. Miraculously, the diagnosis came back clear—everything was normal. The Lord had touched him and prolonged his life. Sister Mary praises God for this miracle, for He is faithful to those who call upon Him.

Let us pray. Loving Lord, we thank You. Just as You did a miracle for Alvin, I pray now for every person reading this. Lord, heal every heart condition. Let kidneys be restored to normal function. Let all organs work properly according to Your divine order. For those struggling to breathe, let their lungs be opened and made whole. I cancel and rebuke every trace of cancer in the name of Jesus. Let tuberculosis be completely healed. For those suffering from wheezing, asthma, and sinus issues, let divine healing flow into their bodies. Let this entire year be filled with Your grace and miracles. Hold their hands, walk with them, and bless them with a long and healthy life. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
