"The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it" (John 1.5) Our brother Ram, in India, is a testament to this powerful scripture, Time and time again, Ram thought all hope was lost until Jesus made a way where they seemed to be none at all.

You see, Ram's family was disappointed when he became a Christian and left their ancestral religion. But when his mother fell ill, and he prayed for her healing, her return to health brought the whole family to Jesus!

Together, they started a church in a neighbouring village, but unfortunately, it was not well received by residents. The villagers raised a false alarm that the church was being attacked, and when Ram arrived, they beat him mercilessly. Seeing their son bloody and bruised was almost too much for the family's faith,

"Though I was in shock, I saw my family was terrified and on the verge of leaving Christ. I assured them my faith in God is unshakeable and unfathomable. When I was being beaten, I could feel the power of God in me the most."

The perpetrators were not arrested, and the church was closed down. "That was like a thorn in my flesh, reminding me to be dependant on God. In weakness, His strength was made perfect," declares Ram.

Left without a means of support, the family was destitute. Open Doors partners helped Ram set up a small grocery store in his house and supported the family through prayers and seminars.

"I was overwhelmed when I received your support," Ram said, "Having no income or job was my lowest point. I was unable to see a way out. I assumed I had failed Christ and He turned His face from me. But God proved His sovereignty by your help and encouragement. I can boldly profess that when I am weak, then I am strong. Christ's power is made perfect in my life."

Lord please lead Ram's family as they seek to start a new church and minister to the unreached. Continue to strengthen the faith of this family and reveal Your great love to them. Lord Jesus provide more than they can ask or imagine as they follow where You lead. Encourage other Indian pastors who are experiencing the same troubles. We ask that their faith will not fail them as they continue to trust in You.

Thanks so much for praying, Elohim bless you. Taken from Open Doors USA text alert.
 
Praying with and for you in Jesus.

We can do everything Jesus did and more! We can speak; sickness leave in Jesus! Be healed by Jesus stripes! I am healed by Jesus stripes! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

You can copy and paste this to pray every day and share...

There is nothing that happens for us that is bad. All things work for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!

Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.

Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.

I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.

Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Powerful healing promise hidden in Proverbs 3:7-8, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear You Lord, I depart from evil, especially my own evil thoughts and my flesh is healed and my body is refreshed in Jesus.

Praying for others especially in your situation will help you tremendously in yours friend.

Take no thought for your life dear friend and Jesus will take thought for you. Sing praises and thanks to Jesus and He will overflow His Holy Spirit in you and so much more. He will fight for you and give you the desires of your heart.

Truly there is only one body of Christ and we are all brothers and sisters. Thanks so much for all your prayers for me. God bless you and keep you in His perfect peace
 
Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
