Your Brother


''<br />

n the year 1972, the Lord was<br />

gracious enough to save me and I received<br />

the joy of salvation. The joy of having<br />

Jesus within me filled me.<br />

I had a thought within myself:<br />

“Hereafter all my attempts will turn out to<br />

be successful! Because Jesus is with me, I<br />

will always be blessed.”<br />

However, the year I received salvation,<br />

I failed in my exams for the first time in my<br />

life.<br />

I had to face questions and rebukes. I<br />

was disheartened.<br />

At this juncture, it was my mother who<br />

strengthened me in Christ Jesus, saying,<br />

“As you get closer and closer to God, you<br />

will have to face trials and tribulations. You<br />

should remain firm even amidst these<br />

troubles.”<br />

Jesus Redeems 1 October <strong>2008</strong><br />

<br />

...YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE,<br />

TAKE COURAGE... ''<br />

YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE!<br />

BUT<br />

John<br />

Then I began to understand that the life<br />

of a Christian is a troublesome path.<br />

In 1975, heeding to God's call, I<br />

dedicated myself completely to His<br />

ministry. I was expecting everyone to<br />

encourage me as I launched into ministry.<br />

But, things happened contrary to my<br />

expectations. Christians themselves were<br />

talking ill of me, alleging of things I had not<br />

done, or had not said. This made me feel<br />

disheartened.<br />

One night, alone at the feet of God I was<br />

shedding tears: “Lord, I don't want this<br />

ministry. Please leave me alone. They are<br />

accusing me of things I have not done.”<br />

At that time, Jesus Christ met me face to<br />

face. “Son, have a look at my ministry. The<br />

world was jeering at me too! They accused<br />

me! They protested against me! Amid all<br />

those turmoil, I carried on with my


ministry. You too should carry on like me<br />

with your ministry. In your ministry, you<br />

will come across trials and tribulations.<br />

But, I am there before you; any trouble<br />

should cross my presence before it reaches<br />

you. Carry your cross and follow me.”<br />

Thus He spoke to me.<br />

In those days I learnt the lesson that<br />

ministry has to be done amid problems. I<br />

gave myself up for a life full of ordeal. I<br />

dedicated myself, with the promise that, “I<br />

will never retract the step that I have put<br />

forward.”<br />

From that day on, the Lord gave me a<br />

heart that never gets disheartened. That is<br />

why I never lose heart even if some one<br />

speaks or writes ill of me or my ministry.<br />

Twice during my ministerial work in<br />

Rajasthan and once in Madya Pradesh and<br />

in Varnasi, there was only one foot between<br />

me and death.<br />

Religious extremists attempted to<br />

murder me. They were chasing me with<br />

lethal weapons. But the Lord was with me<br />

protecting me in the shadow of His hands.<br />

Yet, the Lord has been giving me the<br />

grace to visit North India for ministry, every<br />

year.<br />

Dear friends, Christian life is full of<br />

trials and tribulation. Following Christ is<br />

not like walking on a soft cotton bed. It is<br />

walking on a rough path of stones and<br />

thorns! So, don't be disheartened by the<br />

troubles that you are facing today.<br />

TAKE COURAGE!<br />

Is it possible to be courageous amid<br />

trials and tribulation Even a small problem<br />

sets in weariness!<br />

To be of courage in the midst of trials,<br />

think only about Jesus Christ. “For<br />

consider him that endured such<br />

contradiction of sinners against himself,<br />

lest ye be wearied and faint in your<br />

minds.” (Heb. 12:3)<br />

Think only about Christ who had to<br />

endure trials, tribulation, mockery and<br />

rebuke! Jesus, who never did any harm<br />

to any one, had to still suffer.<br />

“For this is thankworthy, if a man<br />

for conscience toward God endure grief,<br />

suffering wrongfully.<br />

For what glory is it, if, when ye be<br />

buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it<br />

patiently but if, when ye do well, and<br />

suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is<br />

acceptable with God.<br />

For even hereunto were ye called:<br />

because Christ also suffered for us,<br />

leaving us an example, that ye should<br />

follow his steps: ” (I Peter 2:19-21)<br />

Christ has left behind a model for us to<br />

emulate, to follow His footsteps. Hence,<br />

don't get disheartened at trials and<br />

tribulation; instead rejoice.<br />

“But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are<br />

partakers of Christ's sufferings; that,<br />

when his glory shall be revealed, ye may<br />

be glad also with exceeding joy.”<br />

(I Peter 4:13)<br />

Jesus Redeems 2 October <strong>2008</strong>


We are not partners with Jesus Christ in<br />

His blessings alone but also in His<br />

sufferings.<br />

“Yet if any man suffer as a Christian,<br />

let him not be ashamed; but let him<br />

glorify God on this behalf.” (I Peter 4:16).<br />

In the place of your work, in your<br />

business, in the place of your residence, in<br />

your family, you may confront problems<br />

and trials! Don't get disheartened! Be of<br />

courage!<br />

PRAY!<br />

When we have to face<br />

trials and tribulation, what<br />

should we do The word of<br />

God gives us this advice:<br />

“Is any among you<br />

afflicted let him pray. Is<br />

any merry let him sing<br />

psalms.” (James 5:13)<br />

When we are faced with trials, we<br />

should pray. We can surmount trials,<br />

only through prayer. When troubles<br />

increase, increase your prayer.<br />

We should pray for those who suffer.<br />

We should not selfishly pray only for<br />

ourselves. The children of God should<br />

look around themselves, take note of the<br />

happenings around, and pray. Most<br />

importantly, we should keenly observe<br />

whatever is happening in India.<br />

SUFFERING IN ORISSA!<br />

We are all aware of the attacks on<br />

Christians in Orissa. However, it is better<br />

for us to know all details and pray. So, I am<br />

giving here the reports published in 'The<br />

Junior Vikatan', 'Kumudham Reporter.'<br />

One of the leaders of Vishva Hindu<br />

Parishad, the eighty year old Sadhu Swami<br />

Laxmanananda Saraswathi, after comple<br />

ting his pujas, was walking down the road<br />

with four people.<br />

It was 9:15 at night and as he was<br />

nearing his Jalespata Ashram a mob<br />

accosted him.<br />

When the swamiji looked up, he was<br />

shocked to find more than 30 people, with<br />

lethal weapons in hand. Before he could<br />

realize what was happening, they shot at<br />

him point blank and disappeared into the<br />

darkness. The swamiji and his disciples<br />

tumbled down and died.<br />

At night itself the news of his death<br />

spread. The people, when they saw the<br />

swami in a pool of blood, were bewildered.<br />

From the moment they got the news, the<br />

Hidutwa youth were agitated.<br />

Who could have done it “Could it be<br />

the Christians” A young man raised this<br />

doubt<br />

Many shouted in anger that revenge<br />

should be taken. At the end, in order to<br />

register their protest, all Hindu<br />

organisations planned a bandh. Besides<br />

Vishva Hindu Parishad, RSS and<br />

Bajrangdal too took part in this agitation.<br />

On that scheduled day, from the<br />

morning itself there was tension and rage<br />

prevailing in the State. Now and then, the<br />

leaders were adding fuel to fire with their<br />

provoking words. The result was<br />

disastrous. Buses were stopped all over<br />

the State. All vehicles passing by were<br />

smashed.<br />

Churches and worship centres were<br />

targeted. The rioters entered all<br />

Jesus Redeems 3 October <strong>2008</strong>


Christian regions and thrashed whoever<br />

they could get hold of.<br />

When it grew darker, in regions like<br />

Naughan, Rhga, Udayagiri, Bringia and<br />

Paliguda, they set fire to churches and<br />

houses too.<br />

As the peak of all atrocities, an<br />

orphanage run by Christians was burnt<br />

down by a mob.<br />

Three people trapped inside the<br />

orphanage died of asphyxiation.<br />

As riots continue, there is curfew<br />

imposed and also shoot at sight order at<br />

anyone suspicious.<br />

Yet, rioters keep strolling on roads.<br />

Among the riot torn districts of Orissa,<br />

Khandmal is significant, as the Australian<br />

missionary Graham Stuward Steins with<br />

his two sons was burnt alive by a violent<br />

Hindu group in the<br />

jeep.<br />

This brought to<br />

light the kind of<br />

atrocities happening<br />

in Orissa.<br />

Burnt Jeep<br />

Similarly, on<br />

the Christmas day<br />

of 2007, 14 chur<br />

ches were vanda<br />

lized and one<br />

person was<br />

murdered.<br />

Khandmal district is infamous for such<br />

acts. The reason for this is Swami<br />

Lakshmananda Saraswati who settled in<br />

that district forty years ago.<br />

(Source: “Kumudham reporter”, Sep. 4,<br />

<strong>2008</strong>)<br />

Jesus Redeems 4 October <strong>2008</strong><br />

ORISSA IS BURNING!<br />

As a result of the killing of Swami<br />

Lakshmananda Saraswati, member of<br />

Margadasa mandal of Vishva Hindu<br />

Parishad and his five disciples, there is a<br />

upsurge of violent riots in Orissa. The<br />

rioters, who have targeted Christians,<br />

have killed seven persons, including a<br />

woman.<br />

Though there is curfew in force in more<br />

than 14 States, unrest still prevails. For<br />

some reason or the other, in a few districts<br />

people have converted to Christianity.<br />

Hindutva groups have been on a drive to<br />

reconvert them.<br />

The hostility spurred by such events has<br />

been the cause of religious riots. On the day<br />

of the bandh, the rioters launched an attack<br />

with clubs in hand. In Khundabali village a<br />

mob of about 200 people entered an<br />

orphanage.<br />

They chased out the 22 children from<br />

there and set fire to the ashram. They<br />

threw the pastor and a 25 year old<br />

woman, who were in charge of the<br />

orphanage, into the fire. The pastor was<br />

saved but the young woman died. Another<br />

mob set fire to the entire village of Ruba.<br />

In the police firing that ensued, four<br />

rioters were killed. In a place called Mayli,<br />

three including a woman were killed.<br />

In Kandhmal district, in Thummidi<br />

panda, Bulbani, and Baliguda, churches<br />

and prayer houses were vandalized,<br />

(Source: “Junior Vikadan”, 3 Sep. <strong>2008</strong>)<br />

IT'S ORISSA THIS TIME!<br />

There is a new proverb now in Indian<br />

politics, 'Religious riots go before<br />

elections.' Oriassa is burning.


Fourteen people have been killed!<br />

Thousands of homes have been burnt!<br />

Churches, schools, hospitals, not even<br />

orphanages were spared…everything has<br />

reduced to ashes! More than 50,000<br />

Christians have fled to the forest for<br />

refuge!<br />

After Gujarat, it's Orissa, was the<br />

warning sounded much earlier; yet, the<br />

Government was deaf to this warning.<br />

This warning was sounded about ten<br />

years ago when the Australian missionary<br />

Graham Stuward Steins and his sons Philip<br />

and Timothy were burnt alive by Sang<br />

Pariwar mobs.<br />

In the same year a pastor from Tamil<br />

Nadu, Fr. Aruldoss was shot by an arrow<br />

and killed.<br />

On March 16, 2002, VHP workers<br />

entered Orissa assembly and smashed<br />

everything.<br />

Thus slowly and steadily religious<br />

fundamentalist venom was injected into<br />

Orissa and the State Government was<br />

supporting this.<br />

In Dec. <strong>2008</strong> itself there was a<br />

preparatory rehearsal for these riots. On<br />

Dec. 23, results for the Gujarat assembly<br />

polls were released and Mr. Narendra Modi<br />

had won.<br />

The shout of victory that Gujarat was<br />

celebrating reverberated in Orissa the very<br />

next day. The Sangh Pariwar groups happily<br />

launched into an attack.<br />

They pulled out Pastor Juanes Dighal,<br />

traveling in a bus and beat him up.<br />

They tore his clothes and made him<br />

walk naked in the streets.<br />

Christmas decorations in churches<br />

were pulled down and pandals were<br />

burnt.<br />

Within three<br />

days in Kandhmal<br />

5 big churches and<br />

48 village churches,<br />

5 convents, 7<br />

hostels and<br />

several Christian organizations were set<br />

fire to.<br />

In the shoot out by Sang Pariwar<br />

volunteers, two children, Chillu and<br />

Avinash were severely wounded.<br />

The State Government didn't come<br />

forward to put an end to violence and bring<br />

in peace. The present attacks are a<br />

continuation of the December violence.<br />

In Orissa, Christians are only 2.4% of<br />

the entire population. In Khandmal, the<br />

target of the present attacks, 16% are<br />

Christians.<br />

The Hindutva groups have been<br />

working among the tribals of Orissa for a<br />

very long time. In Orissa alone, RSS is<br />

running 6,000 'Shakkas' of 1½ lakh full<br />

time volunteers.<br />

Such organized activities are<br />

responsible for the slow growth of<br />

religious fanaticism in Orissa.<br />

The conversion of the tribals into<br />

Hindus is the first priority of the Sangh<br />

Pariwar. This kind of coversion of tribals<br />

into Christians and Hindus began during the<br />

British rule itself.<br />

The 'Pana' tribe marginalized by the<br />

British as a robber-tribe, was treated by the<br />

caste Hindus as untouchables, and hence a<br />

majority of them embraced Christianity.<br />

Jesus Redeems 5 October <strong>2008</strong>


So, the Sangh Pariwar set the 'Kandha'<br />

and other tribes against these converted<br />

Christians consistently.<br />

In the violence that erupted last<br />

December, the Government and the Sangh<br />

Pariwar jointly organized all attacks,<br />

according to reports.<br />

To set right this State of affairs, Mr.<br />

Navin Patnaik's Government never took<br />

any steps. It is no exaggeration if we say<br />

that the present violence is a cause of this<br />

indifferent behaviour.<br />

There is now a case filed in the Supreme<br />

Court that the CBI should probe Orissa<br />

atrocities. Even if the court complies with<br />

this request, we can't say that the minority<br />

Christians of Orissa will get any security.<br />

As the elections are approaching, one<br />

can expect the violent frenzy of the Sang<br />

Pariwar to be let loose. Their plan is to<br />

capture power by riding on religious<br />

fundamentalism. (Source: 'Junior Vikadan',<br />

Sep. <strong>10</strong>, <strong>2008</strong>, Sri. Ravikumar, M.L.A)<br />

Only if we have a clear idea of all that is<br />

happening in Orissa, we can pray fervently<br />

for the State. That is why I have compiled all<br />

these details from magazines.<br />

Moreover, Sathyam TV reporters had<br />

gone there personally to find out the facts<br />

and they have video graphed everything.<br />

The police standing guard for the rioters, the<br />

police man picking up the knife dropped by<br />

a murderous person and offering it to him,<br />

the religious fundamentalists letting their<br />

flag flutter on top of an ancient churchmany<br />

such scenes are in the video.<br />

There is no connection between<br />

Christians and the murder of Swami<br />

Laxmanananda Saraswati. In an<br />

interview to the Oriyan daily newspaper<br />

called, 'Sambad', a person named Asad, a<br />

naxalite of the People Liberation Gorilla<br />

Army has claimed that he was the one who<br />

murdered this swami.<br />

The attacks on Christians are<br />

preplanned ones, with the motive of<br />

destroying Christians under some pretext.<br />

In this scenario, what should we, the<br />

children of God do<br />

We should pray!<br />

We should pray a lot!<br />

Individually…as family…as<br />

groups…as congregation…we should<br />

all pray.<br />

We should increase our prayers.<br />

We should pray fervently for all our<br />

brothers and sisters who have been<br />

affected!<br />

We should also pray for our brothers<br />

who have caused these attacks!<br />

HOW TO PRAY!<br />

“Lord, strengthen our dear brothers and<br />

sisters in their faith; let them not get<br />

disheartened! Strengthen them and let them<br />

not grow weak in faith and retract.<br />

Console those who have been attacked<br />

and are living amid the damages.”<br />

Thus we should pray for the strength of<br />

the affected Christians!<br />

“Lord, give the affected children of God<br />

the grace to forgive those who attacked<br />

them. Prevent them from attacks of<br />

retaliation; help them to reflect the love of<br />

God, and to preserve their good witness.”<br />

Thus you should pray.<br />

“Lord, please forgive all those who<br />

tortured your people, burnt your churches,<br />

and murdered your servants! If you punish<br />

them for their sins, who can stand firm<br />

Jesus Redeems 6 October <strong>2008</strong>


Please forgive and save them and transform<br />

them as your witnesses and your servants!<br />

Meet all those religious fundamentalists<br />

and leaders who induced violence. Remove<br />

their violent murderous instincts.” Thus<br />

pray for those who organized these attacks.<br />

“Lord, let the destroyed churches be<br />

rebuilt! Let the demolished houses be<br />

reconstructed! Let all those believers and<br />

your servants get back all the things that<br />

they lost!” Thus pray for the blessing of all<br />

affected children of God, and for the<br />

ministries to thrive!<br />

“May the Lord forgive all those unjust<br />

police men! Meet all those unjust political<br />

leaders! Give a just heart to those in power,<br />

to rule without caste and religious<br />

discrimination! Let your justice rule over<br />

the nation! Thus pray for the leaders of the<br />

State.<br />

Thus pray repeating each item carefully.<br />

It is not suffice if you just pray…!<br />

NEED TO HELP!<br />

their offerings. You too can send your share<br />

on behalf of your family!<br />

Jesus Christ has said, “…Inasmuch as<br />

ye have done it unto one of the least of<br />

these my brethren, ye have done it unto<br />

me.” (Matt. 25:40)<br />

The Lord has given us a chance to help<br />

Jesus. When we take it upon ourselves to do<br />

it, it delights the Lord. Your reward will be<br />

high in heaven!<br />

Those who wish to send your offering<br />

may send a Cheque or DD in favour of New<br />

Life Society, mentioning, Orissa Relief<br />

Fund, remittable in any nationalized bank<br />

in Tirunelvelli. This donation is eligible<br />

for 80 G tax exemption.<br />

When we pray and act, the Lord will be<br />

glorified. When He rejoices, He blesses us<br />

specially.<br />

In your life too, when there are troubles<br />

and tribulation, don't lose courage. We have<br />

the Jesus who won over the world. He shall<br />

help us.<br />

It is not enough if we pray for the<br />

affected brothers and sisters! We have<br />

to help those who are standing there<br />

helplessly, having lost their churches,<br />

houses and possessions.<br />

To buy the things that they have lost, to<br />

rebuild their houses, to construct their<br />

Churches, we should do whatever we can.<br />

We may not be able to help all; yet, we<br />

should definitely do what we can.<br />

Our Jesus Redeems ministry has started<br />

the, 'New Life Society' for the purpose of<br />

reaching out during such situations.<br />

Now itself many children of God have<br />

stared extending a helping hand by sending<br />

Let us pray!<br />

Jesus Redeems 7 October <strong>2008</strong><br />

The Lord who has won over the world!<br />

We thank you!<br />

Thank you for the troubles and sufferings!<br />

I believe that nothing will happen in my life without<br />

your knowledge!<br />

Thank you for the victory in these problems of<br />

mine!<br />

I pray for my brothers and sisters who are suffering<br />

in Orissa!<br />

Strengthen every one, not to get disheartened!<br />

Give solace to my brothers and sisters who have<br />

been the victims!<br />

Let them get back all that they have lost!<br />

Protect them from any more harm!<br />

Give me the grace to help them!<br />

In the name of Jesus! Amen! Amen!


RISE UP! LET US REBUILD!<br />

TABERNACLE OF GOD<br />

By God's grace, the building of God's<br />

Tabernacle is going on unhindered. We have<br />

begun work for roofing, the verandah being<br />

the first step. Please pray for the work.<br />

We are in need of a total supply of 14,000<br />

sheets for roof, of which the cost for 12,611<br />

sheets has been met by benefactors thus far. Pray<br />

that God raises still more sponsors for the<br />

remaining 1,389 sheets.<br />

One sheet in priced at Rs. 1,000/-. Therefore,<br />

if 1,389 supporting volunteers come up, the entire<br />

roofing will be complete. A number of God's<br />

children are helping this magnificent Tabernacle<br />

to be completed on time.<br />

They have received blessings from Heaven as<br />

a reward for this support. We have been in receipt<br />

of such letters of testimonies.<br />

Hereunder is the report of Bro. Vijayan<br />

of Yercaud, about the miracle<br />

of God to him, following his<br />

support to the God's<br />

Tabernacle.<br />

We had been living in a<br />

rented house amid difficulties, for 20<br />

years, without a house of our own. We<br />

attended the Thirappin Vaasal Prayer, offered<br />

money for God's Tabernacle and prayed for a<br />

house of our own. God turned his ear to us and<br />

helped us build a house, worth Rs. 1 lakha<br />

gift indeed.<br />

As you are reading this, if you are inspired in<br />

heart, you too could take up, on behalf of your family,<br />

the supply of one, two, five or ten sheets.<br />

It is time for you to have your part in God's<br />

Tabernacle.<br />

In the event of a stir in your soul to uphold the<br />

Project, you may send a cheque or DD favouring<br />

Jesus Redeems 8 October <strong>2008</strong>


The nation that was formed<br />

with the prayers of God's children,<br />

is the USA, a country where men<br />

of God like George Washington<br />

and Abraham Lincoln had ruled<br />

as Presidents of the Nation, where<br />

worldrenowned Evangelists like<br />

D. L. Moody, Dr. Billy Graham,<br />

T. L. Osborn and Oral Roberts<br />

had arisen.<br />

On one side, God's ministry<br />

is on the increase, and on the other<br />

iniquities and idol-worship are on<br />

the rise. Satan is trying to hold the<br />

land under his sway.<br />

Therefore, it has been<br />

God's pleasure that we stand in the<br />

gap for prayer for the nation.<br />

According to God's leading, we<br />

have been holding Thirappin<br />

Vaasal Prayer in U.S.A, for the<br />

past 9 years.<br />

This year the prayer<br />

meeting was held on 24,25,26 July<br />

in Maryland, close to Washington<br />

D.C. Around 300 God's children<br />

from 16 states assembled to pray<br />

Bro. Patrick Joshua<br />

Hour for Prayer<br />

Time given for Sandhya


for America and India.<br />

Bro. Patrick Joshua from India,<br />

Ps. Onasimus and I shared God's<br />

message with the congregation and<br />

led them in prayer. The spirit of<br />

supplication was poured on<br />

everyone. Prayers were raised with<br />

burden and tears.<br />

The Indian Prayer<br />

Fellowship had arranged the<br />

meeting with much concern and<br />

effort. God will bless them.<br />

They are conducting the<br />

Thirappin Vaasal Fasting Prayer<br />

every month. Please pray for<br />

them.<br />

The Thirappin Vaasal<br />

Fasting Prayer was initiated this<br />

time in San Francisco in<br />

I had been afflicted for many<br />

days with allergy, marked by the<br />

outward symptoms of<br />

irritation and tears in eyes,<br />

sore-throat, running<br />

nose and congestion. I<br />

had also joint-pain for two<br />

years. By God's grace, I<br />

was fully relieved from the<br />

chain of physical discomforts.<br />

- Priscilla, Virginia.<br />

I had been suffering from<br />

diabetes for 3 years. Before starting for<br />

the meeting, I told my husband that I<br />

wouldn't fast in the meeting, at the risk<br />

to my health. Therefore, my husband<br />

permitted me to attend<br />

the Fasting Prayer.<br />

On the first<br />

meeting itself, Bro.<br />

Mohan C. Lazarus said,<br />

“Don't allow room for<br />

anything that may bar your<br />

fasting. The doctors may advise that<br />

diabetics should not fast. But we have a<br />

physician, incomparably greater than the<br />

physicians on earth. So the diabetics too<br />

can fast.”<br />

These words generated faith in<br />

me. God helped me to fast. Usually the<br />

sugar level in my blood will oscillate<br />

between the high and the low, thus<br />

crossing the normal level. But when I<br />

prayed fasting, I had no symptoms like<br />

giddiness, tremor, tiredness and<br />

sleepiness. Instead, my faith has<br />

become strengthened through the fasting<br />

prayer. I have found the Supreme<br />

Physician, who I should depend on.<br />

- Parameshwari, Chicago.<br />

During the meeting, I had severe<br />

headache. So I got out of the hall, took<br />

rest in my car for a few moments and<br />

then again went into the<br />

meeting hall. At the time<br />

of prayer, Bro. Mohan C.<br />

Lazarus disclosed, inspired<br />

by the Holy Spirit, that<br />

someone in the meeting<br />

was suffering from severe<br />

head-ache and God was healing just the<br />

person in trouble. I was healed instantly.<br />

- Shibu, New York.<br />

Though hit with pain thanks to a<br />

disorder in spine, I attended the<br />

Thirappin Vaasal Fasting Prayer. At the<br />

prayer hour, Bro. Mohan C. Lazarus,<br />

moved by the Holy Spirit, revealed,<br />

“One particular sister is<br />

being afflicted with a<br />

trouble in her spine. God is<br />

healing her now. Sister,<br />

receive the healing with<br />

faith.” I was surprised with<br />

this utterance. I had a<br />

doubt about itwhether the revelation was<br />

for me or someone else. But when the<br />

Brother repeated the revelation, I<br />

believed and took it for myself. I was<br />

healed!<br />

“…The Lord comforts his people<br />

and will have compassion on his<br />

afflicted ones.” Isaiah 49:13.<br />

The Lord Jesus Christ is the only one<br />

who never forsakes those who trust him.<br />

God clothes with His comfort,<br />

whosoever in grief or in distress,<br />

meeting their needs, whenever they call<br />

on him with faith. We have been<br />

transmitting the Good News of the God of<br />

Miracles through a variety of programmes<br />

in TV. God is doing miracles in the life of<br />

everyone who believes the Word spoken.<br />

The testimonies of a few of those miraclereceivers<br />

She was identified with accumulation of fluid<br />

in lungs. I was told that the treatment would<br />

consume a heavy amount of money. Therefore,<br />

as I was planning to take her to a Government<br />

Hospital, we chanced to watch your<br />

programme in Angel TV. While you prayed for<br />

the sick, we too cried to God to free us from our<br />

anguish. Moved with compassion, God healed<br />

my wife completely. - Gunasekaran, Kangheyam.<br />

BLESSED DOUBLEFOLD!<br />

Dear Brother,<br />

I am a dealer in waste-materials. I had been<br />

suffering for want of funds for the trade.<br />

One day I watched your TV programme, when<br />

you predicted a miracle in the life of everyone<br />

who believes. Really it took place. One person<br />

gave me Rs. 3,000/- for my business. It was<br />

twice more than I expected. A twofold blessing<br />

indeed!<br />

- Yowan, Tiruppur.<br />

HEARD THE PRAYER!<br />

Dear Beloved Brother,<br />

Last year, once we viewed your programme<br />

on God TV. You prayed for the blessing of<br />

child. My husband and I joined you and cried,<br />

“May your hand be ready to help us.” God<br />

turned his ear to us and answered us quickly.<br />

Look at the miracle. We have a boychild now!<br />

We have learnt that God answers the cry of his<br />

children.<br />

My wife fell ill on 20-07-<strong>2008</strong>. She<br />

was taken to hospital. Again she was hit with<br />

pain on 24-07-<strong>2008</strong>, losing her comfort at<br />

night. In the morning, she was taken to a<br />

Private Hospital in Kangheyam.<br />

OBSTACLES GONE AWAY!<br />

I couldn't get my pension<br />

for <strong>10</strong> months since my<br />

retirement, because of<br />

administrative reasons.<br />

I cried to God in Thirappin<br />

Vaasal for the benefit. During<br />

the message, on inspiration, the<br />

Brother said that the due benefits would<br />

accrue to us.<br />

This was in consonance with our prayer to<br />

God, who helped me to get my pension,<br />

removing all the hurdles on the track.<br />

- Saradha Thangam, Tirunelveli.<br />

PROMOTION TO ALL THE THIRTEEN!<br />

We, the thirteen, working in<br />

Kanyakumari Panchayat Union, had been<br />

praying in Thirappin Vaasal collectively, for<br />

I fell sick with tumour in the<br />

breast. In the Thirappin Vaasal, I<br />

prayed, “Save me in accordance<br />

with your love.” God heard my<br />

voice from on high and delivered<br />

me. The tumor has melted<br />

down.<br />

BLESSED ME WITH A CHILD!<br />

- Jebaseeli, Sivagnanapuram.<br />

God blessed me with a child<br />

in answer to my cry for mercy in<br />

Thirappin Vaasal, as I was<br />

without a child for 1½ years<br />

since marriage.<br />

I was admitted in hospital<br />

for urinary trouble, 5 days<br />

after the delivery of the child. I put my prayer<br />

request over phone with the Thirappin Vaasal<br />

Prayer Group. God relieved me from the<br />

trouble, hearing the prayer.<br />

- Ajitha Kumar, Pacode.<br />

I had been childless for 3<br />

years. So I was very fond of a<br />

child. Also, I had two more<br />

needsa permanent job for my<br />

husband and marriage for my<br />

sister.<br />

Therefore, I prayed in the Thirappin<br />

Vaasal, “O Lord, hear my prayer and come to<br />

my relief.” My supplication came before<br />

him and he fulfilled the desires of one who<br />

feared him.<br />

- Ananthi, Thoothukudi.<br />

RELIEVED FROM DEBT!<br />

I had been plagued with<br />

debt-problem for 2½ years. I<br />

had requested the Thirappin<br />

Vaasal Prayer Cell through mail<br />

to pray for my relief.<br />

They prayed and sent me the<br />

reply, “God will help you.” Accordingly, God<br />

opened new ways to clear off the debt. It is<br />

His Grace!<br />

- Joseph Kirubhakaran, Melapalayam.<br />

VIRUS IN BLOOD!<br />

My son was afflicted with<br />

th<br />

severe fever on the 6 day of<br />

his birth. On investigation, he<br />

was detected with hernia, to<br />

be removed in 24 hours, as<br />

virus had formed. My heart<br />

was in anguish within me; the<br />

terror of the child's death assailed me.<br />

We requested the Thirappin Vaasal Prayer<br />

Cell to pray to save him from the torrents of<br />

destruction. God heard the prayer.<br />

astonishment of the doctors, who had<br />

forsaken him once.<br />

- Mispha, Chennai.<br />

CANCER HEALED!<br />

I grew weary and weak because<br />

of diarrhea and vomit,<br />

repelling treatments.<br />

Identified with cancer in<br />

abdomen, the doctors gave us<br />

no hope.<br />

Even if surgically removed, I<br />

had little chance of survival for more than 3<br />

months. So I stayed away from surgery. But I<br />

made a telephonic request with the Thirappin<br />

Vaasal Prayer Cell to pray for my rescue.<br />

God heard the prayer and saved me from<br />

the gates of death, without any operation.<br />

- Francis, Madurai.<br />

Hit by cancer in uterus for<br />

around 16 years, I called unto<br />

the Lord in Thirappin Vaasal for<br />

mercy. God heard my sighing<br />

and granted me my plea. I was<br />

healed!<br />

The child was rescued from the jaws of<br />

death. He got a new lease of life, much to the<br />

The latest tests indicate no<br />

trace of the disease.<br />

NEWS!<br />

From October 2, the government would<br />

introduce the no smoking policy in all indoor<br />

establishments," Union Health Minister<br />

Anbumani Ramadoss told reporters in<br />

Bangalore on Tuesday. The "workplace<br />

smoke-free policy" is coming into effect to<br />

coincide with the birth anniversary of<br />

Mahatma Gandhi.<br />

"Smoking will not be permitted in<br />

any private or public building. Companies<br />

can no longer have designated smoking rooms.<br />

Smokers will have to step outside into open<br />

space if they wish to smoke," said Ramadoss<br />

who has been in the forefront in pushing for the<br />

ban on tobacco and tobacco products. The ban<br />

applies to all companies, including the IT<br />

sector, he said. Companies could no longer<br />

have designated smoking rooms, he said.<br />

The rule would also apply to small<br />

cafes, restaurants, pubs or discotheques.<br />

Hotels having more than 30 seat arrangement<br />

would have to create a separate enclosure for<br />

smokers and a separate ventilation<br />

arrangement as per the act, he said. (Times of<br />

India, 2 Sept. <strong>2008</strong>)<br />

Of the 30 MP constituencies in Tamil<br />

Nadu, 26 occupy the top <strong>10</strong>0 list. However,<br />

Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri Districts have<br />

rd<br />

nd<br />

fallen to the 233 and 242 positions.<br />

With the US pulling out all stops to get<br />

the Congressional nod for the India-US<br />

nuclear deal in a couple of days, Prime<br />

Minister Manmohan Singh Tuesday left for<br />

New York where he will address the UN General<br />

Assembly before he meets US President<br />

George W. Bush in Washington.<br />

Manmohan Singh and Bush will not<br />

sign the 123 bilateral nuclear pact when they<br />

meet in the White House Thursday, but there is<br />

a strong likelihood that the two principal<br />

architects of the India-US nuclear entente will<br />

formally announce the consummation of the<br />

deal, leaving the actual signing for a later<br />

stage. (The Economic Times 23 Sep, <strong>2008</strong>)<br />

American business<br />

magazine Forbes today said<br />

India-born steel tycoon<br />

Lakshmi Mittal is being<br />

conferred the third Forbes<br />

Lifetime Achievement Award,<br />

which honours heroes of entrepreneurial<br />

capitalism and free enterprise. India's<br />

billionaire count rises to 53 (Sify Business)<br />

China has proved its mettle in the<br />

Olympic Games, surpassing even the US's<br />

medal tally. India is pathetic in its<br />

performance in Olympiads. In Athens in<br />

2004, India's 1.1 billion<br />

citizens produced only one<br />

medal winner. Even North<br />

Korea, with five medals,<br />

outperformed India. Since it<br />

began participating in 1928,<br />

India has generally won no<br />

more than a sole medal, with the exception of<br />

the 1952 event in Helsinki where it came<br />

away with two: hockey and wrestling. In<br />

Beijing, Abhinav Bindra has caused a<br />

sensation in India by becoming the first<br />

individual to win a gold medal. Still, few<br />

people outside India will notice or care, since<br />

there is scant hope of India's ranking among<br />

the top 50 medal winners. In contrast,<br />

China's medal haul is likely to put it among<br />

the top two countries this year.<br />

Asserting his supremacy, Pankaj Advani<br />

on Friday annexed the ONGC IBSF World<br />

Billiards Championship (point format) with a<br />

comprehensive six games to one victory over<br />

Geet Sethi. The 23-year-old Bangalorean<br />

delighted the home crowd at Karnataka State<br />

Billiards Association Hall with a superlative<br />

display, winning 150-90, 151-0, 150-24, 150-<br />

0, 86-150, 150-72, 150-12. (Express India.com)<br />
