Answered Prayer

Today was the first time I felt the freedom of laying myself down. I always blamed me, hated me, did more on myself. Today I am free from myself.

Praise the Lord. Thank you for today's words, Pastor. In each of the messages I have sent you so far, I have always said I would try to change, I would try to do better.

Today was the first time I felt the freedom of laying myself down. I always blamed me, hated me, did more on myself. Today I am free from myself.

During our prayer meeting, I was praying for my mother. Today she is turning 50 years old — it is her birthday. In my native country my mother stays alone, and when I was blessing her, the Holy Spirit put someone else's mother in my heart to bless instead. She stays back alone too. I chose to serve rather than seek my own comfort. From that moment I was not able to pray for my mother — unintentionally, the Holy Spirit moved me to bless someone else's mother first.

It reminded me of how you taught us to bless others before we receive, and without my own effort I experienced how the Holy Spirit blesses others through my heart.

One more testimony: I desired in my heart to give one more rice bag offering for my mother's birthday this month, but I didn't have enough money. Today, after prayer, money automatically came — a friend sent it back to me, and I sent it for others to eat.

Our God is a wonderful God. Thank you for teaching us all that you learned, to seek Jesus truly, Pastor. Please bless my mother in your prayers.

God is our Father — He gives us even before we ask. When we listen, receive, and respond, we get to see the promises of God fulfilled in our life.

ProvisionFaithTestimony

Praise the Lord, Pastor 🙌🏻 I want to share a small testimony.

Every time you share your testimony in a sermon, I always say 'Amen, I receive this in Jesus' name' — and I believe that your testimony will be my testimony someday. Your testimony is like a prophecy in my life, so I always declare that I receive it. Last Sunday you shared a testimony that someone you met 5 years ago called you suddenly, wanting to send you an offering.

For my mom — the nurse who delivered me is now working in Canada, and she called my mom suddenly and asked about me. She said she wanted to buy me a phone or laptop to help me study.

I was shocked, because I didn't have a laptop or tablet to study, but by grace a sister had given me a Samsung tablet, and through God's grace I passed two semesters with it. I never even felt like I needed a laptop, since I don't use my phone that often and I could borrow my brother's or sister's laptop for presentations when needed. But God is our Father — He gives us even before we ask.

That nurse aunty said she would buy me whatever I needed. My heart was already satisfied and filled just hearing that. Now I'm praying to know God's will for what to receive — whatever it is, I want to use it for His kingdom and mission. I believe it will also bless her — she is a single mother raising four girls back in India, yet God is so good that He blessed her to bless me, and many through us all.

Thank you so much, Pastor, for sharing all your testimonies and putting that faith in us — that when we listen, receive, and respond, we get to see the promises of God fulfilled in our life. 🙌🏻

God bless you and your family more and more, Pastor. All glory to God 🥰🙌🏻

Jesus is our provider — the One who carried me this long will carry me further. Today the scholarship money I received is the promise that God will carry me.

ProvisionFamilyScholarship

Praise the Lord, Pastor. This is my testimony.

The Lord has given me and our family enough — I would never complain or ask for anything more. But my education has been carried by a gold loan only. My parents managed to give me a good and comfortable life, but educating me to become a medical doctor is beyond their strength. My father lives in north India, my mother in south India, my brother in Bangalore, and I live here. Our family runs on my father's income alone — it has been difficult for him to manage the living costs of four different lives.

Last Saturday, when I told my mother I had to pay a fee, she was troubled in her heart and her voice went completely low. Being a daughter, the guilt of troubling my parents stuck so hard in my heart. All I could say in that moment was, 'Jesus is our provider — the One who has carried me this long will carry me further.'

Today, the scholarship money I received is the promise that God will carry me.

Pastor, I wanted to share this testimony with you because I wanted to share what my family truly is, and the life I get to live at Bethesda Hope Church is a grace. Each day, each smile, each time I share the Word of God — I was built up from this place.

Thank you for this help, Pastor. I truly pray that many of my brothers and sisters will receive this blessing, and surely our God will open doors for all of His children. This help means so much to my family.

God gives us according to the riches of His kingdom's glory. All I have, all I am, everything should glorify our loving Father Jesus.

ProvisionGraceTestimony

Praise the Lord Pastor 🙌🏻🥰 Today by God's grace we went and bought this Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite tab with the money that Lily aunty gave me.

And my dad's friend brought me a phone as a gift — a Vivo V70, which was 53,000 rupees. I never imagined in my life I would use a phone worth more than 25,000, but God showed me His love through this gift again — that He gives us according to the riches of His kingdom's glory.

Maybe if I had bought a phone myself, I would have thought of my own standard and limitations and bought one for 20,000, just to live a normal life. But God gave me this, showing His love toward His children, and proof that all I have is only by His grace. It gave me a reason for the purpose upon my life: to glorify Him through every smallest thing I have, whether it's a phone or food — all that I have, all that I am, everything should glorify our loving Father Jesus.

So this is my testimony again, Pastor, as Ephesians 3:20-21 says: 'Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.'

Today I have a blessed church and a blessed testimony, fully by the pure grace of God, where I can stand and testify how good God is — He did all this for me who never imagined it, when all I did was simply seek His kingdom. Just as God blessed and anointed David in front of his family and nation, today I see how God has blessed me, my family, and my nation through His grace, through Bethesda Hope — 'my house of mercy.'

Thank you, Pastor, you have a very important place in my life — in my spiritual life, and now I also see my physical life being blessed, in order to be a testimony to my family, friends, and the people around me, so they can see the goodness of God.

Philippians 1:4-6: 'In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.'

Pastor, thank you so much for everything. God bless you, your family, and your ministry, and Bethesda Hope, more and more.

I did nothing but apply the Word of God in my life — and it shows how mindful the Lord is toward His children, giving even before we ask.

GenerosityFamilyProvision

Praise the Lord Pastor 🙌🏻 I want to share another small testimony about how caring God is toward His children — even before we ask, He gives.

From this money, I thought I would buy one tablet, and with the remaining money I would buy a phone for my cousin sister — the one whose home we prayed at when you came to India, because her phone was fully damaged. When I told her I would buy her a phone with the remaining money, she was very surprised, but I told her God had blessed me, so I wanted to bless her too. She said, 'You take it for yourself, because you need it — even your phone is damaged.' But I told her that our Korean pastor taught us that if we want something, we should pray for it for others and bless them, and God will bless us.

The next day, my dad saw my phone — the screen and back were all broken — so he told his friend, and that uncle said he would buy me a phone and give it to me.

Luke 6:38 🙌🏻 'Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.'

Pastor, I did nothing but apply this Word of God in my life, and it shows how mindful the Lord is toward His children and how much He has loved us — even before we ask, He gives. 🥹🙌🏻💎

Thank you for teaching us all these mysteries, Pastor, and thank you for always praying for me and my family. God bless you and your family more and more, always.😇🙌🏻🤍

When God gives us an opportunity to serve, He also gives us the strength and courage to step forward.

CourageGenerosityService

Praise the Lord, Pastor. 🙏❤️ I wanted to share a small but very special moment from today with you.

Today, we had a small plate distribution at ZPHS High School in Pamaru, where you had so generously given ₹20,000 for the school. ₹12,000 of that was used to provide plates for the students. The remaining ₹8,000, together with another ₹2,500 my dad contributed, is being used toward building a water purifier for the school. It is truly wonderful to see how your generosity is continuing to bless the children and the school in different ways.

Today I had the opportunity to go to the school and distribute the plates to some of the students. Before going, Pastor, I honestly had quite a lot of fear and nervousness in my heart — I knew I'd have to stand in front of many teachers and senior people as part of the distribution. There were many experienced and respected teachers and lecturers there, and compared to them I felt very young and small. I was insecure, wondering how I would stand there and do everything in front of everyone.

But I truly believe that when God gives us an opportunity to serve, He also gives us the strength and courage to step forward. By God's grace, I was able to overcome that fear and go there. Even though I was nervous inside, God gave me the courage to stand and serve the children.

The happiness on the children's faces when they received the plates was so beautiful to see. What touched my heart even more was that many of the students were asking about you and Amma — how you both are, and when you would be coming back to Pamaru. It was so touching to see that your visit and your love have made such a beautiful impression on their hearts.

With a humble and grateful heart, thank you, Pastor, for your generosity and kindness, and especially for the wonderful heart God has given you toward people. What you have done is much more than providing plates or a water purifier — you have given these children an expression of Christ's love through your actions.

Your life continues to teach us that serving Christ is not only about words, but about loving people, caring for them, and being willing to serve wherever God leads. We are truly grateful to have you in our lives — not only as our pastor, but as a spiritual father, mentor, and role model.

May God continue to strengthen you, guide you, and use your life to touch many more hearts. May He abundantly bless you and Amma and continue to use you both for His Kingdom.

With love, gratitude, and respect, Your Daniel ❤️❤️🤍
