Testimony of Mrs. Rani Ramaraj
Praise the LORD!
Greetings in the name of Christ!!!
I am Rani Ramaraj worked as a principal and I would like to share what our mighty GOD has done in my life. I would like to furnish my parental background before you would delve into my testimony.
Born in an orthodox Hindu family I was the third female to Mr. Duraisamy and Mrs. Nithyanandhi. There was none to overwhelm about my birth because there was already lamentations prevailing at each corner for the only fact that I was also a female.
Wrapped up in swaddling clothes I was left neglected, now my precious people I am reminded of the verse from the book of Ezekiel 16:4, 5:
“No eye pitied on you, to do any of these things for you to have compassion on you…”
And, praise God that He made me thrive like a plant in the field and He nurtured me with HIS grace; the above verses were so much apt in my case.
It was the day I entered my eighth birth day my parents enrolled me in a school which was run by Christian missionaries. The school was massive and the white men, their culture were all so obscure to me in my sight.
I felt so shy so much consumed by inferiority complex and I stopped myself from talking to anyone. I said to myself "No! I am not going to proceed my studies in this school and I was so stubborn in my decision.
The lunch bell rang…
I saw a little girl of my class walking to me whose name is Amara Jyothi. She asked me in a compassionate way whether I had my food, I replied NO in a lighter vein. I was so much engulfed by her love, she continued enquiring about me, finally she ended up with a covenant that she would dine with me during lunch hour and promised me that she would narrate all the Bible stories during that time. I felt little happy. She was the one who nurtured me with the facts about bible and JESUS. I was so much moved by her love and love of GOD. I started worshipping the King of kings from that time on.
I felt that GOD loved me so much. By boundless grace of GOD I accomplished my school life successfully and stepped into college.
I was not able to continue my second year in college due to some unavoidable situations.
Groaning out of despair I started crying out to GOD who was my only beacon of hope. At this juncture few Swedish missionaries caught this shot that is the prayer posture, they were so excited looking at that particular snap and spoke to me, they asked me whether I would go with them! But rather I replied that I would stay here in my nation itself, so much perplexed they asked me whether is there any loop hole in my life so that they could help me out, I slowly mumbled about my financial status.
I was so much thrilled when they said that they would take care of all my educational expenses. Praise the LORD I still wonder how GOD made two ends meet. I whispered "THANK YOU LORD" with all of my heart.
I cherished upon the time when Holy Spirit spoke to me according to the verse in the Bible in Psalm 34:10
"The young lions lack and suffer hunger, but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any GOOD THING."
Praise the LORD!!!
By my Father's immeasurable grace I entered the next milestone in my life which was my marriage…
I should admit the fact that my family is a staunch Hindu family and I can’t impose any restrictions that I need only a Christian bridegroom from such and such background and stuffs like that, my role over there was to accept whatever my parents say and to submit myself to complete obedience, because any step I take against their decision would bring shame to them.
But praise the Lord, my JESUS is bigger and also greater than all the situations said above and all my shortcomings.
I started crying out to Him; trust me, for forty long days I did fasting and prayers earnestly. Meanwhile I was working at Chennai; I was really astounded to see the fruit of my prayers.
My bridegroom was such a dedicated, I could coin as the "most dedicated Hindu devotee" as ever, I started stumbling spiritually and asked GOD as how job asked why, GOD why?
My heart was filled with indescribable sorrow, everything I petitioned to GOD happened in vice versa. The vagabond marriage happened in a most famous Hindu temple, but when I queried GOD about my husband HE replied in HIS own gentle way according to the verse from Isaiah 42:1
"Behold! My servant whom I uphold My elect in whom My soul delights…"
To tell the truth I was surprised to have this answer from GOD, but who knows HIS thoughts are very deep.
A year passed by, it was the time when my husband went to a Hindu temple all way on walk for 80 km expecting something good would happen as a result of his sacrifice. He little knew that a sad news was awaiting him, it was the death of my father-in-law who was double time righteous than my husband. To add fuel to the fire I fell very sick and I was literally walking through the valley of death. Scenarios like this aroused a big question mark in my husband’s heart. It made him think that services and sacrifices to all these idols brought him only pain and vain.
I was going into a sinking stage and fighting with fires. It was that time when I went through valley of death as I had said earlier. During my pregnancy none of the hospitals welcomed me because they were sure about my death. But a Christian missionary hospital did admit me, that was the first chance for my husband to see the words of our living GOD inscribed on all the walls of that hospital. The words literally spoke to him; it went deep into his heart. It was the verse from Mathew 11:28. He was taken aback my husbands desire was all only one that was to bring my life back as in Luke 1:37 for with GOD nothing will be impossible
As I have said my husband already knew that I believe in JESUS. Though I went with him to Hindu temples, he noticed only my physical presence and knew at his heart that I am in no way connected to them.
Praise the LORD!!!
God started to move with him. The doctors who testified that I would die showing all the medical reports witnessed that I was brought back to life again… they just said that it was a MIRACLE!!
My husband's joy knew no bounds!
From that day on we started to pray together, I must say that GOD opened the doors of heaven, HE filled our hearts with inexplicable joy and happiness.
Today, Christ is the head of our family.
Witnessing how GOD picked us from the miry clay and set us upon the rock and also witnessing how we are both worldly and spiritually blessed, slowly one after another my parents, cousins, joined HIS flock! Halleluiah for HE is a good Shepherd still guiding us.
My precious people of GOD, wait on the LORD; He will bless thee like how HE hath blessed me, for HIS hand is not shortened!
I promise you that you will experience a miraculous life and be a blessing.
Beloved children, are you puzzled about your future Adam or may be your Eve? Don't worry for GOD knows who he/she is!!!

praise be to God.. Realy God is great
There is another way to look at it.You mentioned that your husband did an 80km walk to a temple.Maybe that act of faith saved you & your child from the complications that you had feared would end your lives;God did call a religious(Father in Law-Doubly devoted,as per your words)faithful person to him due to his faith.And God breathed hope in to a previously hopeless situation.If your husband had STRONG faith,the God here would have been interpreted as the Hindu one,which he was following all along.His Love for you,& your faith led him to instead believe that it was Jesus.Either way,people who read this are happy for you,irrespective of their faith(s).Just giving a different perspective.
