August 22, 2025
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 through this Auspicious word on this blessed day, August 22nd. May God bless you abundantly.
What is the auspicious word for us today? Let us read from Isaiah 60:5 , “Your heart shall swell with joy.” Come on, say it with faith: “My heart will swell with joy.”
Seeing joy is one thing. But swelling with joy—that’s something entirely different. Some people may smile when they see a miracle, some may rejoice, but there are moments when your heart is filled with so much joy, it overflows—it swells. This is the kind of joy that is overwhelming, unimaginable, and beyond anything you expected. This is the joy that comes from God’s divine intervention.
When the Lord says, “Your heart will swell with joy,” He means He is going to do something extraordinary—something that will surprise not only you but everyone around you.
Today, through this Auspicious Word, the very blessing you have been praying and waiting for—perhaps for days, months, or even years—will come to pass. Your heart will swell with joy!
Maybe you’ve been thinking, “I just need something—anything—to happen. Let me at least get a job… a house for rent…” That is not joy. That is survival. But today, God is promising you joy that overflows. The Bible says in Proverbs 13:12 – “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.”
The miracle that is coming your way will be like that tree of life—a blessing beyond your dreams. The Lord is going to elevate you to a position you never imagined. You will go from being someone who borrows to someone who lends. You will be in surplus. God will make your heart swell with joy!
The womb that was once declared barren—God will cause it to conceive. Not just one child, but children. Receive this promise and claim it in prayer. Give thanks, because today the Lord is going to do great things in your life.
Have you lost hope saying, “There’s no chance I’ll ever have my own house”? Are you in tears? The Lord is saying: “I will build a house for you.” And it will be bigger and better than you ever imagined.
He is arranging a blessed future for you in a family you did not expect, and in a country you never dreamed of. Instead of weeping, your heart will swell with joy. You will share your testimony with many, and they will praise the Lord for what He has done in your life.
Let me share a powerful testimony:
“My husband was suffering from suicidal thoughts and severe mental distress. During a prayer meeting with Brother Stephen in the Tambaram area, I brought my husband for individual prayer. Without me saying a word, Brother Stephen placed his hand on my husband’s head and prayed, saying, ‘Suicidal spirit, leave in Jesus’ name!’ From that moment, my husband was completely freed—not only from the suicidal thoughts but also from the great mental affliction he had been battling. Praise God!” Look at how the Holy Spirit works! I did not know the specific issue, but the Holy Spirit revealed and healed. Today, God will do the same for you.
Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father, Lord, we thank You. For every one reading this message receives the miracle they are expecting. A miracle that will make their heart swell with joy. Let them receive it from Your presence. Let them receive life. May they live every day with gratitude. Let not only they, but everyone around them marvel at what You have done. Work miracle after miracle and honour Your children.
We also lift up in prayer all those celebrating their birthday or wedding anniversary today. As per Deuteronomy 33:27, may this entire year be filled with blessings for them.
Amen.
