My Baby Testimony

Praise the Lord.I am here to tell you How true and faithful God is.How awesome He is.God has been my dad literally all my life..My wordly father passed away a few years ago..God was leading us wonderfully b4 that but From that moment on...He took our family into His hands in a very special way and has lead us mightily.I can go on talking about God's faithfulness towards us.I would like to say one thing in particular now.When we started planning for a baby..God said that He is wonderful in counsel and mighty in deeds...God has always been in control..So I know He is in complete control in this too.In the starting of 2006,I got a promise verse.

Isaiah 40:31
but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.

So I knew that God is asking me to wait .But with every passing month,I grew more weary.God upheld me with His righteous right hand and gave me promises...lots and lots of promises and made me go on...

One of the few promises were,

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare [1] and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.Jeremiah 29:11

For still the vision awaits its appointed time;
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, wait for it;
it will surely come; it will not delay. Habbakuk 2:3

"Fear not, O land;
be glad and rejoice,
for the Lord has done great things!
Joel 2:21

And many more promises like these...I held on to these promises.

One day...I asked the Lord...God how good it will be if i can talk to you thru phone?..So i can ask you whats going on...

I had a dream that night.

My cell phone rang and the display read "God"..

My family said, come on pick it up pick it up...

I picked up the phone and I could hear the sound of space...I said hello

And I heard the most majestic and a loving...beautiful voice I've ever heard in my life

God said...

"varthayinal mathiram alla..seyalinalum unnaku seiven"

which means I will do to you what I have promised..

After that I became very confident in the Lord..God was teaching me how to trust in Him...How to wait in Him and How to be patient..

In the women's bible study..we were in the colossians when I had this dream...

So when we learnt how soverign God is...

According to the verse,

col 16 For by [6] him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him

So I was meditating on His sovereignty...He who created all things has got plans for me...He who calls the stars by name has plans for me....and so on..

But when dec 2006 came...I said,God this is the month dec 2006...this year you are fulfilling all your promises...and I was thinking...Its said in the bible..that Jesus does not know when He is coming...coz if he does he wud tell us all out of pity...So I was asking God..God,but you know when ur promises are going to fulfilled..let me know plz...that same evening my aunt from India called me...

She said...pappu(thats how they call me at home) its not december 2006...I was shocked...How in the world does she know what I am asking God?

She said that Jesus came in her dream and said...I'm going to bless her in this year...but not dec 2006...before this academic year which is March 31 2006...

I got this message just a few days b4 our christmas function...and on the day of the function...my promise verse was...

Thevan arulina solimudiyatha ivukkaka thothiram...Praise God for His wonderful gift..2 Cor 9:15

Actually I stopped praying after that and started praising and thanking him..Coz I believed God has already answered my prayers...

I told all my friends..They were surprised how can somebody know that before 3 months...I knew god will not fail..and when these promises comes true...they will see and know how true our God is...

that not one thing has failed of all the good things that the Lord your God promised concerning you; all have come to pass for you, not one of them has failed. Joshua 23:14

Numbers 23:19 God is not man, that he should lie,
or a son of man, that he should change his mind.
Has he said, and will he not do it?
Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?

Now God has blessed us according to His promise.And yes we confirmed it before march 31st,on march 15th..when I told my friends and family they say god is awesome and that their faith is renewed hearing this..May God be all the Glory for he has done great things for us.On November 11th 2007,I gave birth to a very beautiful and healthy baby girl Katherine Abigail Ravikumar.May God's name be continually glorified through us!!

Psalms 40:1,3,4

I waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord.
Blessed is the man who makes
the Lord his trust.
