1 God s Miracle for JOBLESS To my beloved in Christ, Greetings to you in the holy name of Jesus Christ. We want to share the greatest miracles of God in our life through this testimony. This testimony is touching many people who are JOBLESS in this recession times and many replied that they have been blessed by GOD with wonderful Jobs. Please go through this testimony and the website, recommend to as many people you can. All Glory and honor to the GOD almighty Jesus Christ. Our Almighty God who proved that he can create everything from void and strengthen us through these verses from the Bible:- 1) Psalms 34:5 - When they look to him, they were radiant and their faces were not ashamed 2) Isaiah 49:23 - Then you will know that I m the Lord. Those who hope in me will not be disappointed My name is Rekha Ragini and my husband Mr.Prakash. By the grace of God, he has filled us with his gifts and is using us greatly for the glory of his name. I m thankful to God for using me as a blessing for many lives. God has given us great strength to face many obstacles and go ahead while we were in his service. By the grace of God, my husband got a job in Malaysia and served the LORD. But, due to some unforeseen circumstances, he resigned his job and returned to India to work. He returned confidently when one of his friends promised that there is a job requirement in India for which he just needs to complete the interview formalities. But, after coming to India, there wasn t any call for the interview. His friend apologized for his helplessness. He started searching for a job from then, i.e. Jan 20 th A month passed by, second month also went without a job. We prayed with tears when even the third month also went without a job. We were under mental stress when all his efforts became unsuccessful. For many days, we prayed with tears asking for a job. Even my husband s fasting prayers showed no result. We also requested many God s servants to support us in prayer. God did not reveal anything. Whoever prayed, only said that your family is being tested by God. The same was revealed by one of the

2 God s servant Sis. Leah. We went into depression and needed support, but no one could give it. At that time God spoke to Sis. Leah (Gods Servant) My daughter is in depression, talk to her immediately. Since it was 12 in the night, she called at 8AM next morning. She asked me Ragini, how are you? I started crying immediately and said that I can t take it anymore. She comforted me with her words and said that God is going to give you Power Ministry. For that, you need to go through these situations. At this time, God will count your every word, thought, behavior, your ways. Be very careful. Since you are being tested, everything will count. So, keep desperation away from you. You should be strong in this situation. You should rebuke Satan in the name of Jesus Christ. You should always try to be happy. You should not be sad in your heart. She stressed these words many times. I started finding peace in her words and felt happy for God s plan for us. I and my husband prayed for this problem every night. One day during the prayer, I saw the fearful face of Satan. He was weeping and left saying that, even though I tried to weaken them with problems, they are still praying more. 3 rd & 4 th month also passed the same way. As everyone started talking about our situation and were asking questions, pressure built up from every side. Even though my husband is a short tempered, he never uttered a word when people troubled him with their words. When he couldn t take it any more, he used to pray with tears. I was astonished at his gentleness. Sometimes, he would not sleep the whole night but kneel down and pray with tears. In the morning, he would to go on his job hunt. Sometimes, he used to fast and pray for 2-3 days at a stretch. As God is not showing any direction, we requested God s servants for their prayer support. They said that this is the first time that they haven t got any answer. But, they asked us to be confident and assured that prayers would be answered. Since, it was revealed that God permitted this situation; we decided to obey his will. This situation has strengthened my prayers and I became closer to God. During this time, I used to get calls from people to pray for them for their situation. One of the sisters who called was in the same situation as I was. She requested me to pray saying that she is in depression. Then immediately Satan questioned, Your own prayers haven t been answered for the last 4 months. Then how will you pray for her?. Then, I rebuked Satan and prayed asking God to talk to her, comfort her and do miracles in her life. Then, God put strengthening and comforting words in my mouth and made her happy. This way, God made me a blessing to others in my troubles. Even though I had strong belief, I was afraid if God left us alone or if God was angry with me. I had a dream when I prayed with these fears and slept. In the dream, I and my husband were waiting for a train with a lot of luggage. The train was announced late. Then, Sis. Leah came and advised us to attend the spiritual growth classes started by Pastor.Prakash. We went there, nobody was present. Then, I went into the class and wanted to write something on the board, but before that, I wrote a date, A student asked

3 me why you wrote 6 th month when we are in the 4 th month. I said, it s OK, don t erase it. I understood this dream in the later days (Later part of this testimony). My agony increased as the days passed by. If God was angry with us, we ll not get an answer from him, how many ever prayed for us. We wondered what did we do to provoke him to anger. Whatever it was, we prayed for his forgiveness. I used to spend many sleepless nights. I would suddenly wakeup saying, Lord, what mistake have we done? Why is this delay? Where is the answer for our prayers? Please have mercy on us. My husband has so much hope and says, My Lord will never let me down. But, seeing my condition, he would also be in tears sometimes. Sis. Leah was very helpful in this situation. Whenever I was in depression, she would to sense it - call me and strengthen me. God also used my daughters to strengthen me. My younger daughter (4 years old) used to always see me with tears whenever I prayed, she comforted me saying Don t cry, I ll talk to Jesus and used to pray immediately. One night, I didn t want her see me crying. So, I switched off the light and started praying silently. Suddenly, she started wiping my cheeks and sang I ve a friend Jesus - He said I m there- Don t be afraid. I couldn t control myself, hugged her, and thanked Jesus. On another similar situation, she sang Victory, Victory, there is victory in Jesus. This way, God strengthened me with her songs in those situations. Not only this, God gave a vision to my elder daughter. When she was praying, she saw a white hand coming and writing YOUR DAD GOT THE JOB. So, she comforted me saying that Jesus already gave a job to her dad. This way, God used my daughters to strengthen me in this terrible situation. On , my brother who is living in Pune called and said he wanted to talk to me in a special way. He asked if I m ready to listen. When I said I m ready, he said For many days, God has been inspiring me to tell you to pray for some specific points. I can t tell you all points at a time. But, I ll tell you one point per day. He told me the first point on Prayer Point-1 for Day 1: You should have the will to understand God: Because you misunderstood God, you were disappointed with God. So, ask for forgiveness and pray that you ll have a heart to understand God. All that day, I prayed for the same. God has revealed me the second day s prayer point even an hour before my brother s call while I was praying. Prayer Point-2 for Day 2: Recognize God s love for you: Give thanks for all the good things he has done in your life till now. When I kneel down for prayer, God made me remember all the good things he has done. I praised GOD. After an hour, my brother told me the second prayer point on phone. I was astonished as it was the same point which was revealed to me in the prayer. We praised lord for he is very close to us. When I was

4 praying the second night, I asked, Lord, if it is your will, please reveal the third prayer point. Prayer Point-3 for Day 3: Depend only on God: I had a vision with this meaning. That is the vision of David and goliath. I was in David s place and Satan in goliath s place. But, I don t have pebbles in my hand. My husband is picking the pebbles. With this vision, I understood that, I ve to fight with Satan directly. God will help and the victory is Jehovah s in this battle. But, on my part, I don t have any weapon in my hand. I was just watching while my husband is picking the pebbles. Immediately I asked for God s forgiveness. David went to the battle saying that the battle is Jehovah s and he won. Now, my battle is with Satan. Please give me victory. I prayed like this till 3 AM in the night. I was surprised when my brother told the 3 rd day s prayer point. Depending on man is of no use. David won by totally depending on God. So, you also pray in the same manner. I told him that God has revealed the same in yesterday night s prayer. We praised and thanked God for being so close to us. Prayer Point-4: Praise God and surrender every situation to him: Even in this situation also I praised God this way all the day. At mid night, I started praying for the 5 th day s prayer point. Immediately I heard a pleasant voice saying Simply take rest. Immediately I asked Is that you Lord?, I heard Yes. I am. That night, I praised Lord. Next day, I called my brother and asked him to tell the prayer point for 5th day. He said that it is not revealed even after praying a lot. My eyes were filled with tears. I told my brother the way Lord spoke to me the previous day. He said, that is the reason why God has not revealed it. He told you to take rest. Then we both praised God together. These prayers boosted my FAITH a lot and made me more closer to GOD and I started calling him DADDY!!. Fifth month also passed by in this manner. We tried all the opportunities at every place wherever they were available. But, all our efforts used to fail at the last moment. This led us to desperation again. We started searching in Pune as we finished in Hyderabad, but to no avail. One day, I tried to kneel down and pray but I couldn t because I was very desperate. I cried in prayer Oh Lord father, I ve been praying for 6 months about this same problem. Father, I m so tired. I just want to rest in your lap. Immediately, I saw two outstretched hands in my vision calling me to lay down on his lap. I don t know what happened later, I just woke up in the morning. If God haven t had comforted me that night, I would have had a severe nervous breakdown. Also, he comforted me with many bible verses and visions. During this

5 time, it appeared to me that God is comforting me through all the messages on Subhavartha channel as well at Also, God strengthened me through the messages of Sis. Leah, Pastor. Mohan, Mrs. Joyce Mayer. and Pastor Paula White (You can visit these web casts with the links given.) One day, Sis. Leah suggested that we should go to pune and spend some time with my brother s family. We spend 15 days with them and returned to Hyderabad except my husband. He had to stay back since his job wasn t finalized. We returned back placing the situation in God s hand though my husband was concerned and discouraged. He received a call from HCL the next day. HCL was one of the companies where he has finished three rounds of interviews. They asked him to join immediately. It was ; the date God gave in the month of March (mentioned in page number2). We were very happy that the vision is fulfilled. But, Satan created problem through HR and the job didn t go through. We also rejected it thinking that it may not be God s will. After that, God stopped talking to me and there was no presence of God in our prayers for about 15 days. Then, we realized that in fact that job was God s will and we prayed asking for God s forgiveness immediately. We prayed asking, if it is God s will, let the same job be available and we should receive the call from the same company. The next day, we heard God s voice in our prayer, a loud voice saying LOG ONTO REVELATIONS. Since it was Wednesday, Sis. Leah visited our house for prayer. God revealed through her prayer again that we must read revelations all chapters. My husband knelt down and studied revelations within 2hrs that night. I also read it in one day and we were waiting for his answer. The person through whom we got to know about this job in HCL is a friend of my brother. He called my brother enquiring why my husband didn t join. Then, my brother explained him the problems created by HR. Then, he promised that he would look into this matter, but he did not. Meanwhile, my husband decided to move to Bangalore thinking that there might be more opportunities there, also as he did not get anything in Hyderabad and Pune. But, he told me that he was going to his parent s place. I asked him if he is going only for few days. He said that he is leaving home and he wouldn t comeback to Hyderabad unless he get s a job and asked me to take care of the children. Also he said I believe that God will not forsake me and my family. Don t be discouraged. I ll return soon. I couldn t sleep that night. I was crying holding my children. Victoria (My brother s wife) saw me and compelled me to tell what had happened. I explained her all this and requested her not to reveal this to my Mom & Dad. Victoria told this to my brother that night who was in Chennai for training. My brother couldn t sleep that night and prayed Father Jesus, No human can take more than this. You promised that you would not subject us to much tribulation that we can t endure. Have mercy on Prakash and his family. Don t turn away from him.

6 Without your mercy, he can t get into any job. We can t bear your silence. You are working miracles in other s lives through my sister, but who will take care of her own problems if not you? Both I and Victoria also prayed in our respective rooms that whole night. The next day, there was a call from HCL Chennai informing that the same vacancy is still there and if he is interested, He should join by This way we came to know that GOD proved this JOB is under his will within this one month from to We all leapt and rejoiced very much and thanked God abundantly. We came out victorious through this test that God permitted on us. At last, we won in the name of the Most High in this terrible fight with Satan. My husband joined in HCL Chennai. I suggest you to pray for those 4 Prayer points I mentioned and I wish everyone would receive spiritual as well as the physical blessings from God. Let every believer be victorious in all the tribulations God permits without being discouraged and lead a blessed life. MAY GOD BLESS YOU. Your Sister in Jesus, Ragini Prakash.
