I give God all the glory and honor .I Praise God for all that He has done in my life. I am happy that God has enabled me to write this testimony.

I have accepted Jesus as my personal savior. By His immense grace I was born again on June 2009 and experienced His overwhelming love. I got water baptism on Dec 2010 and enjoying a happy walk with God.

My sickness started when I was 11 months old. I was hit by epilepsy. I took medicines for 15 years. I was completely on medication from 11 months. When I was 10 years old, I was diagnosed to have migraine followed by asthma. I did not grow up as a normal Child.  When I was 22 years old, I was extremely sick and I came to know that three nerves in my brain got infected and again I was taking more medicines. Two years back I started getting some skin allergies and later on diagnosed that I had hormonal imbalance and became diabetic. Several times I have been admitted in ICU.

I visited the most popular doctors in Chennai and the only word they tell me is “Reduce your stress and you will be fine”. But Doctors gave up hope on me. Having said that, life was not very easy for me.  due to the struggles in life my health was affected.

I had no idea what was going on in my life. A man of God prayed for my healing. This was the moment when God touched me. I saw God standing near me and that moment I gave my life to Him. I was able to see a light which was so bright and I saw the vision of God for the very first time. I was able to feel the power of God descending into me. Since then my life changed. I was working in Hyderabad and my parents were in Chennai. To be honest, that day I just prayed and stopped taking all medicines. I did not even inform my parents. I knew that after that divine vision from God, I would be healed. There was one man of God who was praying for me. I just told him.

Next three months, I did not faint nor have any seizures. When I came to Chennai, as usual my parents took me for checkup. They took multiple scans and found that everything was set right. The brain infection disappeared. Doctors did not believe and the scan was taken thrice and then they confirmed that I was healed. I am free from all medicines. I used to take nearly 20 tablets per day and today I am free from tablets.

Never again I went to MIOT hospitals where I was in ICU many times struggling to survive.

26 years of suffering has come to end by the blood of JESUS. It’s unbelievable but it’s true. “By His stripes I am healed”.

I was fighting for life and God gave me life in abundance .Not only physical life but also spiritual life.

I learnt a lot in this path and few are mentioned below:

1)      Forgiveness brings healing – Forgive people who hurt us and bless them

2)      I came to know about God through my struggles and my family understands the love of God

3)     By the immense love of God, my mother also got baptized few weeks back

Once again, I give God all the glory. It wouldn’t have been possible without Jesus.

John 10:10

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

From an IT Professional in Chennai

I was born in a Christian family and hence as a routine, used to go to church and lead a shallow life. Never even touched the bible and open it for reading. I completed my B Tech in the year 2002 from Machilipatnam. After my graduation, I didn’t even look for jobs and my friends took me to various places to perform some rituals to get some good job for me, all in vain.

My life was such that I used to smoke minimum of 20 cigarettes per day and get drunk every day. I never had enough sleep with this type of life. I used to roam on the roads very late till up to 3am.

My father is a very respectable person and he could not see me ruining my life like this and he used to scold me almost every day for my absurd behaviour. I have a younger sister and a younger brother. My sister is married and my brother is pursuing his MA. He is both deaf and dumb.

Even all our relatives stopped inviting me for any family functions just because I was such an irresponsible person. They didn’t even allow their children to mingle with me in fear that they also may get my kind of attitude and habits.

One fine day on Nov 2005, I met with a fire accident and my face got burned. I didn’t have any money to go for treatment and my friend paid for me. On the other hand, due to excess drinking of alcohol, one of my kidneys failed and had to be treated. No money even for that also. I lost a kidney due to my drinking habits, in Aug 2006.

My dad told that he would not pay any money for operation as I had spoiled my life on my own. Then I took a drastic step and came out of the house with no job, no money, no health, to Hyderabad.

I really messed up my life. I had my maternal cousin whom I had loved ever since I knew love. My love and feelings toward her were sincere and I was hopeful that we two would tie the knot soon. But my love failed (because no job, no responsibility) basically she was from doctor background, interested in marrying a doctor only and I was on the verge of ending my life. I tried to end my life first by laying on the railway track and it failed. I did not stop trying and tried ending my life again by consuming a full bottle of bathroom cleanser. Even that failed.

Then, one of my very good friend asked me to just go and listen to the church message. I thought okay, let me try this. I used to just go and sit there for a while and immediately return to my place.

On 17^th September 2007, as per my friend’s request, I went for a youth retreat and they had 7 continuous days of prayer and my life changed upside down for my Christ!!!. God spoke to me through Romans 8:28.

God blessed me by giving me exclusive visions and happenings in and around my life. Then God gave me enough strength to let go off the love for my maternal cousin and I decided to take whatever God gives me.

From that day, I stopped all the worldly things like cigarette, drinking, roaming on the roads like a mad person. I made godly friends.

God started blessing my family when I prayed for them. My mother and my brother became strong in Christ. My father used to pray min 3 hours in a day.

Then all my relatives who used to run away from me and who never used to even allow their children to talk to me started coming to me, talking to me. Now the situation in my family has became such that without me, they don’t want to host any prayer meeting and any function also.

The stone that was ignored has become the corner stone of the building – this has been established in my life. Amen.

Now I see healing through visions. Recently I saw a vision that my mother is being healed of severe knee pain. I called my mother the very next day and she spoke that she is very well and knee pain is almost gone and she is able to walk freely

In my vision, I had seen that my aunt (Mother’s sister started building a home). When I went home, asked my mother about the same and they really had started building an own house.

My God who took all my useless, unwanted threads put them together and gave me a beautiful world of my own, a wonderful life with meaning in Him.

I am married to Vijaya, a wonderful prayerful lady who is supportive to me in all possible ways. We are blessed with a son, Devashish.

I want all the youngsters who have not taken their lives seriously till now to take a note of how my life has been transformed when I met my Lord in my heart face to face.

Please do continue to pray for me and my ministry, my personal life with my Christ and my family life as well.

I can conclude by saying that:

I never had a beautiful life till I came to know my Lord face to face. I was obedient to His voice, listened to him and now, my life is a colourful beautiful painting to which God is adding more colours to make it brighter.

New Job offer from one of the Tier -1 company with  100% hike when the IT Industry itself was in the midst-of recession.

I had been working for an IT company for 5  years and had great dreams about building a long career in the same company because I loved my God given job in a specific domain. So, I was working hard for more than 12 hours a day and some times, in the weekends as well, to complete the assignments on time. Since the environment was with healthy competition, I was so optimistic that everything will be taken care by the management and kept on doing my hard work. Above all, I trusted my God for every single matter, that He would take care of me.

Years went on… but the situation kept changing and all of my peers got promoted to higher grades and it so happened that I had to report to my peer who had been promoted.  That time I realized that the promotions were frozen due to recession, for next one year. Hence, I asked for a good long term assignment with my family.  For any onsite assignment selection, I would be given a slot where no one was available for whatsoever reason and it was so much hurting; hence I was praying for a good & long term assignment in any other country. That also didn’t happen and I was at cross roads with much humiliation and distress. Also, I was not sure about what to do at the onset of recession in the IT industry and this continued for more than 5 months.

One of my friends asked for my profile, I shared it just like that. Then, one afternoon in the following week,  one of my colleague shared the Word of God for 10 mins in our weekly lunch time Corporate Prayer fellowship, with the Bible Verse Joel 2:19, “ I am sending you Grain, New Wine and oil, enough to satisfy you fully”. He called out to the 15 member group, that whoever needs, let him / her inherit this new grain, new wine and new oil.  The moment I heard this prophetic voice from my colleague, I took it for me literally and immediately, new rays of hope beamed out of my heart and filled with the joy and peace that a great turn around will happen in my career.

Praise God… unbelievable…. within 2 weeks of time, I got a new job offer from one of the Tier -1 company with  100% hike when the IT Industry itself was going through recession.  It was like recovering the benefits which were lost for many years, miraculously.  Also, the new job was given for me to work in a different domain / skills requirements. God opened a new door for me to work in the domain / expertise that I had in 3 months which was not as per the original plan. This opportunity has given me a greater facelift and helped me to be connected with leading consultants globally in the specific domain across the companies.  Yes… God took care of my every single request, including my interest in a specific domain.

If you are going through a situation of no recognition for your good and hard work or humiliation by politics at your work or your promotion is long pending due to whatsoever reason and the situation is not favorable, let not your heart be troubled (John 14:1) and just make it known to our God (Phil 4:6). New Grain, New Grain and New Oil are there for you!!!… God will open a door for you that no man can shut, @ the right time!!!  Amen!!!.
