Selvakumar April 2008 Volume : 8 Issue : 9 I n the precious name of Jesus Christ I convey my loving greetings to you! By the grace of the Lord, I and the Jesus redeems family are fine and I hope that you and your family are fine! For you and your family, we, the Jesus Redeems prayer team, pray regularly. I believe that you too have been praying for me and our Jesus Redeems ministry. Hearing your prayers the Lord has been doing wonderful things in our ministry. The Lord blessed the Peace Prayer Walk that we conducted for 21 days in Sri Lanka, for restoring peace to the nation. He gave us the grace to offer intrusive prayers, one day in each district. The Lord helped me and my wife to visit eight districts and pray for peace. He also gave us the grace to visit Vavuniya, Mannar, Mattakilappu, Triconamalai, the war ridden areas. The Lord brought together Singhalese pastors and Tamil pastors, Singhalese people and Tamil people to pray together in one accord. It is certain that the Lord will establish peace in Sri Lanka in an unexpected way. We have planned with the Lord to conduct the Thirappin Vaasal Prayer in Sri Lanka each month. Please continue to pray for peace in the island nation. The deliverance Festival in Madurai was greatly blessed by the Lord. People, who are non Christians, gathered in multitudes and received salvation. Praise God! We have been initiating Gethsemane Prayer Centres in each district, to pray for the Blessed Tamil Nadu. We have been raising armies of God to pray for each district and to carry out the ministry there. We have been printing and sending lakhs of tracts for their ministry. We have also been using thousands of gospels for this purpose. Pray for the salvation of Tamil nadu. We have been praying as a team for all of you and your families who read this magazine. Please pray for this ministry. Your prayers and support have been a blessing to our ministry. With prayers, we make use of all your contributions, for the ministry. Grace be with you! Your Brother, JOHN 14:14. S ome problem has been troubling you! He is ready to change your problem of Some need has been worrying you! Some debts! disease has been threatening you!

He is He says that whatever you ask, he will do it. ready to heal you. This is because He loves you. It is only because Jesus Redeems 1 April 2008 He loves you that He is waiting to do a miracle for you. watching others pray. After the message when I led the people in prayer, he never closed his eyes to pray to Jesus. He was only watching the others pray. Everything is possible for Him! He is all powerful! He was waiting for the meeting to get over. He was thinking, “They have told me that only when Bro. Mohan C. Lazarus lays his hands on my head and prays for me a miracle will happen.” So he was waiting. He gave vision to the blind! He healed the lepers! He made the lame walk! When the meeting was over, he rushed to the front for prayer and knelt down. I laid my hands on his head and prayed for him too, as I did for every one. But, he didn’t receive healing; there was no change in his hand. He brought the dead back to life! Nothing is impossible for Him! If you expect Him to do a miracle for you, you need to do something! He was greatly disappointed and wondered, “They told me that I will be healed if Bro. Mohan C. Lazarus laid his hands on my head and prayed. But nothing has happened.” ASK, YOU WILL RECEIVE! Jesus has given us the promise: “You may ask me anything, I will do it.” However, he attended the Thirappin Vaasal prayer in the following month too. He was waiting for Bro. Mohan C. Lazarus to pray for him placing his hands on his head, and he knelt down to pray. I as usual prayed for him too as I did for every one else; but he was not healed. The pain remained. So, you should ask; open your mouth and pray for yourself ! He likes to listen to your voice. Only when you ask, He shall gladly do wonderful things for you. In the Thirappin Vaasal Prayer held in Nalumavadi, once a brother shared his testimony. He returned with anguish, wondering why nothing had happened to him, even when Bro. Mohan C. Lazarus prayed for him. He was unable to use his right hand and was in severe pain. He attended the Thirappin vassal Prayer as he had heard some one saying, “Bro. Mohan C. Lazarus prays and Jesus does miracles.” However he never gave up; he attended the Thirappin vaasal prayer in the third month too. At the time of the final prayer, I was leading the people in prayer, and when I said, “Keep your hands on the sick part of your body and He attended the meeting with fasting. He listened to all testimonies. He was Jesus Redeems 2 April 2008 call out to Jesus.” The whole gathering started praying. For your self, for your matters, you should pray. Whatever you may ask Him in prayer, he shall give you. He looked around and it struck him that he too can try praying for himself. For the first time, he looked up to Jesus and prayed. “Jesus, I am unable to use my right hand. The pain is unbearable. Please heal me.” “Ask, and it shall be given you;…For every one that asketh receiveth;....”(Matt. 7:7,8) This is the promise given by Jesus. Believe in this promise and ask Him. Repeat His promise, “You may ask me for anything; I will do it!” You shall see wonders! Jesus was so far waiting for him to pray, so that He could do the miracle. The moment he prayed, Jesus touched him. His pain vanished at once and he was able to use his right hand normally. ASK IN THE NAME OF JESUS! He came running to the stage, to share his testimony. “For the past two months, I was prayed over by Bro. Mohan C. Lazarus and in spite his laying his hands on my head and praying for me, I was not healed. Today, I looked up to Jesus and prayed for my healing. At once Jesus has healed me,” he said happily. “If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” (John 14:14). This is what Jesus has promised. That is, in the name of ‘Jesus’, repeating the name Jesus, you should ask. Only then, he can do whatever you ask for. My heart rejoiced when I heard this as he had learnt the right thing. As long as he didn’t pray, Jesus never did a miracle. The moment he opened his mouth and asked, Jesus did a miracle. The heaven doesn’t accept prayers that are raised without the name of Jesus. Such prayers which don’t carry the name of Jesus are like letters sent without the address. You should understand that it is not the servants of God who do miracles; it is Jesus who does. It is not enough if the servants of the Lord pray for you; Jesus is waiting for you to pray; you should realize this. You will not receive a reply for them. Jesus has given you the promise: “Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. ” (John 16:24) Please understand that many servants of the Lord may pray for you; yet, only when you When you ask, uttering the name of Jesus, pray, He shall do wonders. Keep this in mind. Without your praying, however much may you shall certainly receive miracles, that your others pray for you, you will never receive any joy may be full. For the blind Bartimaeus who called out, blessing. Jesus Redeems 3 April 2008 liver badly affected by jaundice, that hit me in the year 2007. At this juncture, a friend of mine, introduced the Thirappin Vaasal Prayer at Nalumavadi, with words of assurance for a miracle in my life, if I happened to take part in the Prayer with full faith. Accordingly, I attended the m e e t i n g f a i t h f u l l y . At the sight of a huge crowd, that had converged, a fresh faith was kindled in me. This being the first experience with such meetings, I was closely watching the proceedings of the meeting. When the brother was raising the prayer for the deliverance of people, I, who had never known how to pray, simply made the brother ’s prayer my own, intertwining my heart with his own, cried loudly to God, for my life, with tears down my cheeks a deep cry, never in my life. “Son of David, have mercy on me”, He gave eye sight and made him rejoice. (Mark 10: 46–52). When Peter, the disciple of Jesus addressed the man who was lame from birth and said, “In the name of Jesus get up and walk” , he was healed, jumped up and walked. Peter explained, “And his(Jesus Christ) name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.” (Acts 3: 1–16) At this hour, God’s power embraced me like a gentle breeze. I could sense a great change taking place in my body. God gave me abundant health through a miracle. I have been trouble–free since then. Even today, when the name of Jesus is uttered, miracles do happen. Also, my wife had been suffering from a tumour in her breast. I attended the meeting with the family and prayed earnestly for her healing.The tumour disappeared in thin air before we reached home after prayer. God did it. Glory to God! I know a family who believed in the name of Jesus, prayed and received miracles. They shared their testimony with us in one of the meetings and you can read it. A Hindu by faith, I had been in death-bed for 45 days, unable to walk, with the We have accepted LORD Jesus Christ as Saviour of our family, because of the miracles he has done. - Elangovan, Madurai.

Miracle Testimony WRESTLED LIKE JACOB! Seven of us underwent a by-pass surgery in Muscat on 1992. Of the seven, I am alone alive. Fifteen years after the operations, for roughly 1½ years, the same old trouble with the inherent symptoms, began to emerge, increasing day by day. After examination, the doctors said, “There is a block in your heart. Another surgery is a must, which amounts to 4 to 6 lakhs.” Without any inclination for surgery a second time, I returned home with a heart, pain-struck. I fell at God’s feet and implored struggling with God like Jacob, “LORD God, I am your child. You perform a miracle by healing me. Henceforth, I won’t spend money in a hospital. Instead, I will offer that money to the Tabernacle of God.” Meanwhile, my wife had mailed a prayer request to the Brother, to which he replied, “We prayed for your miracle in the gathering of more than 40,000 believers. God will, by all means, do a miracle to you.” Subsequently, God showed His grace to us that the doctors, who reexamined me said amazingly, “There is no problem in your heart.” It was totally in line with the letter of reply from the Brother after prayer. Presently, I am a living witness to LORD Jesus, with abundant health in Him. - G. Abraham, Trichy. ?

The moment the bitter news that God has taken up dear Bro. D.G.S. Dhinakaran struck my ears, my soul too started crying, “My Father! My Father!

I’m going to take him to be for ever with me. I have set an Angel ready to take him to me.” Though we could understand that God had decided to call the Brother home, we had been praying to God to add some more years to him.
