PRAISE THE LORD! PSALM 20:1-9 1. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob defend you; 2. May He send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion; 3. May He remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. 4. May He grant you according to your heart's desire, and fulfill all your purpose. 5. We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions. 6. Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand. 7. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. 8. They have bowed down and fallen; but we have risen and stand upright. 9. Save, LORD! May the King answer us when we call. STAND FIRM AGAINST THE ENEMY! “…Resist the devil and he will flee from you” (James 4:7) (Message delivered by Pastor S. Sam Selva Raj at the Main Church) We can divide the world in which we live, into two: a) the world that we see with our physical eyes b) the spiritual invisible world that cannot be seen with our physical eyes. The people of this present world get absorbed with the things of the world, the incidents that happen in this world, the false happiness obtained due to the growth in the world's economy and all its attractions. As people reach the peak of this temporary happiness, they have no mind or time to think about the invisible spiritual world which is very important and urgently needed. The spiritual world consists of our souls, spiritual life and spiritual power. But today's spiritual people do not have a clear mind and they lead a life without spiritual power. So in course of time they will live a meaningless life with just superficial views. God's people with a vision to serve the Lord, also fail to give more importance to the spiritual life and the spiritual world. This is because the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life dominate them (I John 2:16). The enemy that hinders people in their spiritual life is the devil. It is wrong to say that there is no devil or his host spirits. We must defeat this devil. In order to do so, we must have a clear knowledge about the devil and his headquarters and his method of functioning. That is why in Ephesians 6:12, we find Apostle Paul saying that God's children are involved in a great wrestling war against the devil and that we should be very careful to ...

We are grateful to God for the wonderful ways He leads us. We are thankful to our dear brothers and sisters who are upholding us through prayers and support. The Lord God is really blessing our ministries in this new year also. The Lord blessed our All Night New Year Service conducted in our Main Church area and the 7 hour continuous prayer for World Revival held at a town, Sivakasi in South India. God sent mighty annointing from heaven and blessed the people. Our One Hundred Prayer Warriors For World Revival are doing a good job in coming to our Main Church once in a week and pray for world revival. You may also send your prayer requests. We are burdened heavily about the situation of God's people in India. They are experiencing much hardship in practicing Christianity. Any kind of difficulty may occur at any time against the peaceful daily life of the children of God. We do not have any worldly power to support us; but we have heavenly power and heavenly support only. So this is the time once again for all Christians join together and come forward in one accord, forgetting their denominational leanings and doctrinal diversities to pray for protection and blessings in the country. We should come out from building our own empires and start building the Kingdom of God. Let us all join hands with each other to pray fervently and work sincerely so that the LORD may send a marvellous outpouring of the Holy Spirit during these days in all the countries of the world especially in the countries where preaching the Gospel is difficult and banned. As the family of Echo of His Call, we understand the value of time and real situation and are enabled by the Spirit of God to do something for the people of India during these days. We have strengthened our relationship with the following seven Regional Co-ordinators in the country of India and endeavouring to send the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to all the nook and corner of India “…By all means - At all costs - In any way - In every way Save some” (1 Corinthians 9:22) in a humble way.

It is true that the devil has been defeated by Jesus Christ on the cross. But it is also true that he still causes evil to penetrate into the lives of the peoples. The Evils Caused by the Devil to Mankind 1. The devil enters into the people in the form of spirit and make them lose their sense. 2. Having gone into them, he deceives them by making them walk on fire and inflicts wounds on their bodies. 3. He enters into the hearts and bodies of people and creates unnecessary fears and boubts, hatred towards life, pushing to commit suicide, sleeplessness, zeal to do wrong things, irritation, cruel behavior, attitude of failure and confusions in mind. 4. He touches people who c) Prince of the power of the are talented in education, wisdom and high purpose and make them lose hope so that they become very weak in their activities. 5. He enters into happy families and causes seperations, bitterness, confusions, divorce court cases, poverty etc., by introducing silly things in such families. 6. He induces cheap desires, leads people to watch dirty scenes and involves them in wrong relationships which in turn lead to frightful consequences, diseases and slavery to drugs. Thus he makes people to degrade themselves. 7. The devil also enters into the lives of spiritual people and makes them give wrong teachings and doctrines introduces pride, self-righteousness, love of money, lust of the flesh in them so that they are drowned in vanity! According to the Word of God, he is called as the a) Tempter (Mathew 4:3, 1Thessalonians 3:5); b) One who had the power of death (Hebrews 2:14); air (Ephesians 2:2); d) Ruler of this world (John 12:31, John 14:30); e) One who deceives the whole world (Revelation 12:9); f) The thief who steals the peace and happiness of people; g) Killer of people's conscience; h) Destroyer of the eternal life of mankind (John 10:10); I) Deceiver, who deceives people by assuming the appearance of holy angels. Even the chosen people are being deceived “And no wonder! For satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light” (II Corinthians 11:14). Once, a devil-possessed man who was blind and dumb was brought to Jesus. Jesus made him to see and speak. The Pharisees who heard about it commented that Jesus chased the devils with the help of Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons. “But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against FEBRUARY 2015 itself will not stand. and If satan casts out satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? (Matthew 12:25,26). The devil has an organized administration. He was many helping spirits, orderly authorities and a well organized kingdom and a head-quarters. His Kingdom is still not broken and thrown away. THE CRAFTS OF THE DEVIL 1. He makes people unable to think of the spiritual secrets, entangle them in several complications, so that they have no knowledge about heaven and live as fools. 2. He makes sin very attractive and so the chosen people also get cheated and commit sin. Such God's people become disobedience, the devil neglects them and run away from the scene. Since they have no support and they suffer alone for ever. 3. He gives various problems to people in their daily life. As they have to struggle everyday in such problems, the devil makes them to ignore holiness, eternal life in heaven and the life of faith. 4. He also delays the approved heavenly blessings to come on the lives of God's people. 1. Through the Word of God (Mathew 4:1-11) God's thoughts are given to us as the Word of God. With complete faith in the Word of God, not doubting it to any measure, we must use it in our life. We must listen to God's Words and memorise them. Then the devil will flee from our boundaries. We must dedicate ourselves to live according to the Word of God. When we depend fully on God's Word and obey wholeheartedly, divine power will descend upon us automatically. We must cause our hearts to become the field in which God's Word is sown. Without the influence of the Holy Spirit all human thoughts are in vain. We must retract them and obey God's Word. God's Word is the only power which is able to break down human's negative thoughts. So, under any circumstance let us not try to overcome God's Word and His will to suit our desires. Instead, we should commit ourselves to be ruled by the Word of God and God's will, and allow ourselves to be fully controlled by Him. God's words should not be twisted to be used according to our circumstances. We should depend totally upon the Word of God and live according to them. We should learn them and build our lives upon ... Continued at page 6... If you would like to receive ECHO OF HIS CALL magazines regularly, please write to us.

Continued from page 4... them. When we read about the great temptation of Jesus Christ in Mathew 4:1-11, we find Jesus overcoming the devil by quoting the word of God saying, “It is written”. At least memories God's promises. Confess those promises through your mouth when you are pressed with struggles or when you pray. The devil will flee away from you. Give importance to read your Bible. Make it as a regular habit to meditate upon the Word of God every morning. Attend the Bible study meetings at your church and learn the Word of God right way. Have a personal relationship with your Pastor and take part in his efforts in the expansion of God's Kingdom. Make it a habit to discuss about the truths of the Bible whenever you meet with your friends and fellow-believers. 2. Overcome the Devil with the Faith you have on God Some people say that the devil cannot attack or overcome or use Christians. No, it is not true. Due to the works of the devil, many believers are filled with evil characteristics. Today we see in our churches and society, many children of God struggling due to the attack of the devil through their thoughts, bad habits and wrong doctrines. Is it not true that such people lose all hope and get completely disappointed by the devil in a later stage? If the devil cannot deceive the Church and God's children, why should Apostle Paul compare our spiritual life to a battlefield and ask us to put on the whole armor of God, be watchful and be strong in faith it fight against the devil? (Ephesians 6:12-17). It is nothing but the devil and his spirits who work like catalysts behind every spiritual defeat that we see today in the spiritual world. This is the reason behind the failure of all God's children. Those who once committed themselves to be zealous of fight for the Lord, have also been caught by the devil and they are now physically sick, defeated, backsliders and also as convicts in prisons! Faith is a priceless gift, God has given to His children. This is the power to receive all good things that the Lord has earned for us. Faith is the stronghold through which we can receive God's victory. This is a divine gift that leans only on God's mercy and grace and not on human intelligence. The faith you have on God, helps you to lead a watchful life and later will provide full security to your family and to your own future. But the relationship you have with the devil is like the bacteria or virus you have in the air around you or even in your own body! It is because you believe that there are minute poisonous germs around you, you are careful in eating clean food; you keep your clothes clean; you clean your house. The immunity you have saves you from the clutches of the minute poisonous germs, bacteria and viruses around you. The immunity acts as a pesticide to such germs. If you have no knowledge about such poisonous germs and if you do not believe in their poisonous germs and if you do not believe in their poisonous nature, you will not take bath daily; you will not wash your clothes neatly; you will not close your mouth when you sleep or on other occasions; you will not keep your food clean. As the surgeons know very well about the effect of such germs in spreading diseases, they use a mask to cover their nose and mouth while at surgery. They also carefully wash their hands and wipe them clean. The devil and his spirits are like the minute poisonous germs that can't be seen with our naked eyes. They roam around to swallow TAX EXEMPTION Donations by any individual or organization to Echo of His Call Educational Trust are eligible for Income Tax exemption under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act.

So, be very careful in your spiritual life. The Lord has clearly shown us in Ephesians 6:1-17 about a careful way of life. Hold on to the shield of faith always, confess your relationship with God in faith. When you act every minute not forgetting that you are a child of God, the devil will run away from you. 3. Overcome the Devil in the Name of Jesus Christ “And these signs will follow those who believe: in My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover” (Mark 16:17,18). “…For this prupose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil” (I John 3:8). “And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached is His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem…” (Luke 24:47-48). “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12) “For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13) The power in the name of the Lord is revealed in the above verses. So, in then name of Jesus, when we lay our hands on the devilpossessed people, the devil flee Echo of His Call Postal Courses 1.

So, when you suffer and face problems, chase away the devil taking the authority in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. 4. Overcome the devil with the blood of Jesus Christ and the Word of Testimony (Revelation 12:11). “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death” (Revelation 12:11). The devil will run away when he hears the name of Jesus Christ is uttered. Jesus Christ the son of God shed His own blood and gave His life on the cross at Calvary to destroy the works of the devil. As a result of the sinful life, people have been affected very badly by the devil to the extent that no one can deliver them. Because of the abudance of sins, they are not able to overcome the devil. The devil takes advantage of this situation and causes more and more problems to such people. He has turned the present life on this earth into a sorrowful one and so they can never be happy. In order to redeem the people from the clutches of satan, God sent His only Son to the world: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Jesus was sent to the earth to shed His innocent blood. Thus the holy blood shed by the Son of God alone has the power to redeem the people ECHO OF HIS CALL - ENGLISH from the power of the devil. Since Jesus Christ shed His blood and offered Himself as the sacrifice to remove the sins of the world, we should believe and have faith on the power of the blood of Jesus. The deliverance we get through this faith must be proclaimed to others as a testimony. Then, surely, the bondage of the devil will be broken. During difficult days, we should confess with our mouth saying, “There is victory in the blood of Jesus Christ”. Having 9 8 confessed thus, if we lead a life of testimony, the devil will flee away from us. We should know the crafty ways of the devil to chase him away. We, the children of God must stand firm and be organised against our enemy, the devil. To overcome the devil, here are certain things we are expected to do: 1. Speak the Word of God against the devil. 2. Through faith in God, the cunning crafts on the devil can be broken. FEBRUARY 2015 3. Use the name of Jesus Christ, who bruised the head of the devil on the cross. 4. Confess the power of the blood of Jesus Christ and proclaim the word of your testimony. If we thus overcome the devil, we shall surely be included in the list of those who are victorious in the Kingdom of God. Let us stand firm and be organized against the devil! Let us be victorious!!

Sam Selva Raj Founder-President 9 ECHO OF HIS CALL - ENGLISH 9 FEBRUARY 2015 (Life experiences of Pastor S. Sam Selva Raj) “whoever reads, let him understand” Matthew 24:15 “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:8). Recently, a staunch nonchristian young man came to me and said his mother of about 40 years old was suffering from a severe illness for a long time and all the spiritual and medical efforts taken for her had ended in vain. He added that she was forsaken by the Medical fraternity as the medicines and surgeries so far administered to her went in vain. They had no more money to spend also. But the suffering of the women was increasing day by day. The young man begged me to go to the hospital with him and pray for his mother. Even though I was too busy in my preaching assignments, I found time and went to the hospital. Since she was in a critical condition, I was not allowed to go inside the ward and so I told her relatives that I would pray from my Church. But the members of the family did not allow me to leave the place and started crying like a child and compelled me to pray to the LORD Jesus Christ there itself to have mercy upon them for a special healing touch of the Heavenly Father. Finally, I obeyed them and called all of them in a place and gained courage from the Lord and shared with them what the Lord Jesus Christ can do in human life in times of troubles, problems and dangers. We prayed together for the healing of the woman. Soon on finishing our prayer and opened our eyes, I saw a man coming towards us with his medical assistants. He came near me and shook my hands and remembered the healing which his son received from a peculiar disease through my prayers about fifteen years ago and asked me why I was standing with a crowd. I explained the immediate need of the woman who was suffering for her life. He replied, “Brother Sam, I am the Chief Doctor for this Department. Your patient is also under the care of my assistants. I will go now personally and do the needful and see that proper treatments are given for her immediate recovery. He also requested me to leave the place with confidence. Then the family members came to me after a few days with a good news that a successful surgery was conducted on her and further treatment offered to her and she was healed. God heard our prayer and sent the right person to give her the required treatment. They are faithful and thankful for the blessing they have received in the name of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Dear reader, the same God is still available for you. Commit your ways to Him and acknowledge Him as your God and Saviour. He will not leave you comfortless and He will certainly come to you and take care of you.(John 14:18) God bless you. “Whoever is wise will observe these things…” Psalm 107:43 (Please cut here, fill in the details and send to us to serve you better) Do you believe that the multifarious ministries of ECHO OF HIS CALL are LORD's ministries? ..................
