Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you all this August 15th through this Auspicious word. May God bless you.
As we all know, today our nation, India, is celebrating Independence Day. I rejoice in the Lord for this and, on behalf of God’s Love family, I wish you all a very Happy Independence Day. May the Lord do a miracle in your life.
On this Independence Day, may the Lord open ways for you to live freely wherever you are living. Wherever you are doing business, may the Lord help you to conduct your business freely. Wherever you are doing ministry, may the Lord open doors for you to serve Him freely.
May you be able to study freely in your schools and colleges. May the Lord give you a good name, honour, and fame. In Jesus’ name, I bless you. The Lord will do good things in your life.
Let us read today’s Auspicious word from Joel 2:21: “Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the Lord has done marvelous things!”
On this Independence Day, the Lord is looking at you and saying, “My son and daughter, do not be afraid. Nothing will happen that should cause you to fear.”
Some of you may be thinking, “Will it happen like this or like that? What will I do if this fails? What will I do if I fail in this matter? If I do not get a job at this age, I may become too old to get one.” Many of you are living with such fears and confusion.
But the Lord is saying, “Do not fear. Be courageous.” The Lord says, “I know what needs to be given to you. I know how to adorn you and honour you. I know how to fulfil everything you need. Therefore, do not be afraid.”
Fear is a sign of unbelief. Instead of fear, the Lord is saying, “Be glad and rejoice.”
Think about the day India gained independence. How happy and joyful the people were! They had lived under British rule and were concerned about being in slavery. But when independence came, they rejoiced and celebrated.
In the same way, today I bless you to receive divine joy, freedom, and liberation physically, mentally, and spiritually. Be glad and rejoice, for the Lord will do marvelous things in your life.
Many good things are going to happen in your family. For the years in which you experienced great debt, from today you will see years of great income. For the years in which you experienced shame, from today you will experience great honour, name, and fame. The Lord will help you.
Some of you are crying and saying, “Even small things have not happened in my life.” But after today, the Lord will do great things.
Some may be saying, “My child went to another place to live, but she has no freedom there. They are treating her like a slave. She is living her life like a slave.” If you are saying this with tears, the Lord is saying that today He will bring freedom to her. In her husband’s house and in her mother-in-law’s house, the Lord will speak to their hearts and bring a change in the situation.
Some may be saying, “I am very afraid in the town where I live. No one talks to me. No one even looks at me or speaks to me.” If you are saying this, the Lord is speaking to you today: “Be glad and rejoice, for the Lord has done marvelous things!”
Even your enemies will come to you in peace. The Lord will bring a change in your situation. Many good, special, and joyful things are going to happen in your life. Therefore, rejoice in the Lord. The Lord is good.
Testimony
“My own family hated me and sent me away. I had no job and no money, and I went through a very difficult period. Even my friends stopped helping me. I had many thoughts of suicide.
During that time, one night, I heard a sermon by Brother Stephen on YouTube. It gave me great comfort, encouragement, and hope. I began listening to the sermons every day. Whenever Brother Stephen prayed, I joined with him and prayed earnestly with tears.
After that, I seriously started looking for a job. By the grace of God, I got a good job in Bangalore. With my salary, I repaid the money I had borrowed and completely cleared all my debts. Now I am also financially free.
The Lord’s blessing, along with the sermons and prayers of Brother Stephen through YouTube, has helped me live today. Thanks be to God!”
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. On this Independence Day, may the captivity of everyone be changed. If they are in the captivity of sin, sickness, or debt, Lord, break those chains and give them freedom.
Help them to walk and live freely in their families. Help them to serve You freely in ministry. Open new ways and new doors for Your children.
You have said: “Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the Lord has done marvelous things!” Lord, I cancel every spirit of fear and fill Your children with a courageous spirit. Give them great joy so that they may be glad and rejoice.
May Your children make a list of the great things You have done in their lives and testify about them. Lord, perform miracles and wonders in their lives. Open such new ways and opportunities for each and every one of them.
May this Auspicious word be fulfilled in the lives of Your children from this very moment. Amen.
