ii) JESUS IS OUR SAVIOUR! HE LISTENS TO OUR PRAYERS!
Praises to Jesus! Thanks to Jesus!
   I, Sona (age - 28 years), have been attending the prayer service being held in Jeevan Dham for the past 2 years and I have gladly accepted Lord Jesus as my family's Redeemer and Saviour because He has saved me twice from death. Once He gave me a new life when I was suffering from T.B. and once when I had a terrible & hazardous skin-disease. Besides, it was the power of His Holy Word that could free my husband from the evil spirit, which has been overpowering him from the past 20 years and from the bad habit of smoking cigarettes and eating tobacco et al. This way God has brought a new life to the whole family. Salvation has come to our house since we have believed in Him and today I have come here to give all these witnesses of the abundant blessings that God has showered on our family.
     i) I married Om Prakash 13 years ago and since then problems have been creeping up in our family one by one. Within a few days after my wedding, I started having stomachache and digestion problems. I started vomiting too. When these conditions prevailed for a few days, I became weaker and weaker and all edible things had no affect on my body. It was only after several weeks could I realize that the reason for the degradation of my health was the presence of evil spirits in my in-laws house that proved its negative effects on me after my marriage when I started living there. I was taken to all hospitals in Faridabad (Haryana) within 18 months and not a single treatment was of any help to save my deteriorating health. Then I was admitted to Ganga Ram hospital in New Delhi. But till then I had lost all my energy in my body that neither could I get up and walk on my own nor could I do any sort of work independently. I was totally bedridden and was living on the mercy of my in laws. The doctors after taking all tests declared that I was suffering from T.B. and an operation is also necessary for my recovery and cure. But being a poor family with very few earning members and due to the burden of the expenses that they had already taken upon them for my treatment (between 10 to 15 thousand), they could not afford such high cost of the operation over all this. And so, I was not operated but my treatment was still continued. Yet my stomachache had been persistent till now along with my digestion problems and gastroenteritis and I was never relieved from these problems all this time.
      When all medicines failed, two years ago my brother's wife informed me about the prayer service being held here every Sunday. The next Sunday she & my brother brought me on a rickshaw and then laid me down at the back on the school ground where all others were sitting to listen to the Word of God. I cried and prayed fervently to the Lord and begged for His mercy and forgiveness. And within few minutes, while praising God, He had pity on me and answered my prayer. He provided me the strength to get up on my own and sit down and eliminated my relentless stomachache forever. And after reaching back home, I was able to digest whatever I ate and there was no problem of gastroenteritis after that too. This way, I started coming here every Sunday regularly from that week to attend the prayer service.
       ii) After coming here regularly for about more than 18 months every Sunday to attend the prayer service, one day my husband suggested me to leave for my village in Bihar so that my in-laws could take care of me & could take responsibilty for my treatment there as his job looked somewhat insecure (because of the evil spirits within him that drove him crazy and made him to run away while working during duty time or even made him stay back at home rather than letting him go for work) and all that he was earning was mostly spent on my treatments & medicine. He told me that it was not obligatory to go to Jeevan Dham every Sunday morning for prayer. Prayer & praising could be done at my home also because God is omnipresent and merciful. But when I did not like his idea, he kept on stressing his point with various reasons to persuade me. And within few minutes, I started itching away body. It started from one place first and later within a few days spread on to my whole body irrtitating me badly now & then and this made my life miserable. I got festering sores, which oozed out pus very often. My whole body became swollen, painful and diseased enough to cripple me and render me unfit to walk or even budge myself without any help. I was totally bedridden left on mercy of others. My body smelled badly and I used to wince and cry in pain. I was suffering from such a horrible disease that I had never even dreamt of or even had thought of in my life.
       Earlier, I could not find any reason for this shocking disease to seize me all of a sudden. And I was bewildered thinking about this again & again. But finally, I got the reason why all this was happening to me. It was nothing else but the mistake of my husband who had been stubborn & adamant to make me go away from Jeevan Dham to my village & thus forget His favours and have a life devoid of prayers & His Life-giving Word. I regretted for all this and the coming Friday I came to Jeevan Dham. My husband laid me on a rickshaw and brought me early morning to Jeevan Dham, Sec-22, Faridabad. I cried and begged God to pardon us for all our sins and have mercy on me. And fortunately during the intercessory prayer service I got the vision of God for the first time in my life. I saw Lord Jesus standing in front of me in shining white clothes pitifully looking at my festering sores. Later after the prayer got over, the lady blessed by God prayed over me and gave me blessed oil to apply it on my sores. From that day onwards, I started applying this oil regularly and prayed to God to heal me with His healing touch. And within one month, all my sores dried up miraculously and I regained my health eventually. God forgave my sins and gave me another life the second time to show His love & mercy on me. Now I have given up even the thought of going back to my home away from God, away from Jeevan Dham, His chosen home. I am now attending the Sunday prayer service regularly without failure.
    iii) My husband was in the clutches of the evil spirit for the past 20 years. This was the main reason for the lack of peace in our family. Sometimes, while working in the factory during duty time, he used to run away and wander off here & there. This endangered his job security too. And this evil spirit kept us all these years devoid of any child. Sometimes all of a sudden he would let all hell break loose, he would get irritated and hot-tempered and then started saying bad words, beating and spanking me without any reason. He used to get restless while sleeping; sometimes he lifted his legs high up from the bed and started shouting etc. But from the day he came here, he sleeps well, he is good-natured, he has been freed from the clutches of the evil spirit, his restlessness has disappeared and he goes to work regularly and comes back home on time. God has given the back the peace, true peace, which we had not experienced from the past 20 years.
     iv) My husband, Om Prakash (age-29 years), used to smoke away almost 4 cigarette packets everyday for the past 10 years. Apart from this, he had the habit of eating tobacco too. But from the day he came here for the first time, he has left smoking and eating tobacco completely after listening to the powerful and healing Word of God. For all these blessings, I thank my merciful and loving God a million times. Alleluia!
  "May all who come to you be glad and joyful.
    May all who are thankful for our salvation always say, "How great is the Lord!"
         I am weak and poor, O Lord, but you have not forgotten me.
   You are my saviour and my God - you hurry to my aid!" (Psalms 40:16-17)

iii) ALMIGHTY GOD OPENED HER DEAF EARS!
Praises to Jesus! Thanks to Jesus!
    I,Shakuntala (age-30 years), was deaf from the last 22 years. The reason was just a grain of wheat which fell on my ears while I was playing at my tender age of eight. It broke my ear-drum and I became deaf from that ear but I was not sure whether that grain had gone out of my ears or not. This I came to know only 15 years after my marriage when I showed my ears to a village doctor due to pain in my ears, and when pus had started oozing out of it. The doctor removed out the grain but it was too late because I had lost my hearing power already. And later an ENT specialist in Delhi declared that my ear drum has been torn up and an operation is required for restoring my power to hear everything. But since the expenses for the operation was too high for us to be afforded, I did not have any operation and decided to leave the situation like that.
      Few days later, after hearing from one of my relatives about the miraculuous prayer service held in Faridabad called Jeevan Dham, I started coming here regularly every Sunday. And loving & merciful God heard my prayers very soon. Within a month, God restored back my hearing sense on the ear with the broken ear drum without any pain or hassle. This is the power of the Word of God that has entered my ears and has healed me. I can now hear everything clearly from my ears. This is a wonderful blessing for me to remember all my life. I will thus praise Him and thank Him, for
    'He is merciful & good and His love is everlasting'. Praise the Lord!!

   ii) Apart from this, God has freed me and my house from the powers of the evil spirit which had destroyed our peace, love & joy in our family for the past 15 years. I now firmly believe that there is no other cure and no other way to destroy this devilish power other than by the Word of God, the
   'Truth which sets everyone free'.
My words of gratitude fall short of the mercy and grace given to me by Him, my Liberator and my Saviour. Alleliua! Alleluia!
  "You do not want sacrifices and offerings... Instead, you have given me ears to hear you and so I answered, "Here I am..." (Psalms 40:6-7)

iv)AFTER SO MANY YEARS - A CHILD GIFTED TO THE FAMILY!
Praises to Jesus! Thanks to Jesus!
   I,Hazari, am coming to Jeevan Dham for the seventh time today to attend the prayer service. I came here for the first time along with my wife in the month of March to ask for the gift of a child from God through prayers. Even after 11 years of marriage we did not have any heir for our family and within these eleven years we had spent a lot, as far as I remember more than 30,000, on the treatment alone at different places starting from our village in Bihar to Jhansi to New Delhi & Faridabad. But neither could we find the cure anywhere and nor any treatment did anything favourable for us. Our solitary wish to get a child now seemed like a daydream. We did everything possible, we even had a dip in the river Ganga together in the hope of getting a child and to obtain forgiveness of our sins of distant past. But everything was worthless and unyielding.
     Then at last, one day during the month of March last year, one of my colleagues told me about the miracles happening here in Jeevan Dham & the blessings that God is showering on all who come here. His encouragement arisen out of his strong faith provoked us to come over here and see for ourselves the mighty works of God. We started attending the prayer service regularly every Sunday and within a month my wife became pregnant. Within a few days we went back to our village Mahua in Bihar. She was taken care of by our relatives and parents there while I got engaged in farming. And after 9 months were over, God gifted us a cute baby boy. But, we didn't come back here to give this remarkable witness and to thank God for His beautiful present to our family. We stayed there for one more year. Now when our baby was a year old, we noticed something going wrong with him. He used to do some strange actions like waving his hands lifting them up as if praising God whenever we tried to make him sit. And otherwise, he could not sit properly and comfortably. After observing all this for a few days, our eyes were opened now as we realized our mistake of not thanking God for whatever He had given us and of not giving our witness here, where God blessed our family. Then we decided to come back here to give our witness before all the believers. Within a week we reached here and by that time all the strange habits of my child disappeared. And today, I am giving away my witness before all the believers sitting here. I offer my apologies before God and I admit my careless mistake of not thanking Him for all that he has provided us. Praise the Lord!
