(Annual Subscription Rs. 25/- only) I Corin. 15:57. February 2007 Volume : 7 Issue : 7 Bro. Mohan C. Lazarus Editor: J. Selvakumar I n the sweet name of our Lord Jesus Christ I convey my loving greetings to you! How are you and your family members? We pray very specially for you and your family. As He has promised, the Lord shall give you honour and praise. Pray every day repeating His promise. Our children are getting ready for the exams. We, the Jesus Redeems team, have been praying for our children who are going to write the exams. Please send us the exam schedule so that we can pray for them specially on the scheduled days, at the time of their writing the exam. You too shall pray for your children and encourage them. Horrifying events would happen on earth! “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21:25,26 & 36. To escape all these horrible things which will happen, be awake and pray always. Increase your prayers. God blessed our entire ministry in January. This year the first Deliverance Festival was held in Salem. The Lord won many souls for himself as He had promised. He performed many wonders and signs. The name of Christ Jesus was glorified! Praise the Lord! This month we have Deliverance Festival in Avadi (From 15th - 18th). Please pray for this meetings and attend them with your family. The construction of the Tabernacle of God has been going on very fast. Work has been in progress in the Prayer Mountain too. We are getting the mountain ready so that the children of God could pray there. Please pray for me and for the Jesus Redeems ministries. Grace be with you! Your Brother, I Corin. 15:57. Don’t worry; we have a God; He is the God who gives victory! He has many names - The Lord of peace! The Lord of might! The Lord of Hope1 The Lord of solace! Besides all these, He is also the Lord who gives victory! Once a father came to me for prayer and he said, “My daughter is very weak in her studies. In a short while, she has to sit for the board exams. So far she has failed in a few subjects in the quarterly and half yearly exams. THE GOD WHO GIVES VICTORY! “Will I be successful in my studies? Will I achieve the expected result in the exam that I am preparing for? In this competitive field, will I be successful in my job? So far she has never passed all her subjects in any of the exams. If she passes in this Government Board Exam, I would have the satisfaction that she has at least completed her schooling. Please pray for her. In this jealous world, will I achieve my goal in my business? Will I emerge victorious in my attempts? Will I be successful at least this year?” I don’t have any hope that she would study and succeed. Only if God does a miracle, can she succeed. Please pray.” -Such questions may be popping up in your mind. I prayed with the father for the daughter’s success in the exams. Jesus Redeems 1 February 2007 shall have victory! Your problem may be big; but the Lord who is with you is greater than your problem! So, you are sure to succeed! The exam got over and the results were published. The father came to see me and he brought news that his daughter had passed in the exam. He exclaimed: “This has happened only because of God’s miracle.” When I heard this, we both praised the Lord who gave victory. Let us see how David overcame the giant and how we shall confront our problems! Jesus Christ is the Lord who gives victory in all circumstances and in all matters for everybody! He shall give victory to you too. Don’t be troubled. Repeat the words: “I thank the Lord who gives me victory!” REMINISCE OVER PRIOR VICTORIES! When David said, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him ; your servant will go and fight with the Philistine,” the King of Israel Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine and fight with him, for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.” God gave a great victory to the young shepherd boy David, over the giant Goliad. Please read about this instance in I Samuel, Chapter 17. Goliad, the giant rose against the Israelites, the people of God. He is about 10 feet tall! Looking at his imposing stature and listening to his words of ridicule, the Israelites were terror stricken and troubled. At this instant, David recollects all the victories that God has bestowed on him so far. Today, the exam that you are going to face may trouble you like a Goliad. In college, your final examination may be like a Goliad to you. In your business, or family, or in your ministry, a Goliad may rise against you and may torment you! Fear not! The Lord who gave victory to David shall give you victory today! David was not a trained warrior; he was just a shepherd. He was never accustomed to wielding a sword in a duel. Yet, he confronted Goliad courageously. As the Lord of victory was with David, he could vanquish Goliad. When David was tending to the sheep, once a lion, and another time, a bear came and took a lamb. The Lord who was with David and gave him victory is with you today! He shall give you victory too! Face the examination confidently! Confront your problems boldly! With courage, move forward during trials. You Jesus Redeems David, with the help of the Lord, went behind them, struck them, and killed the lion and the bear and delivered the lamb from them. 2 February 2007 “David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.” I Sam. 17:37. RELY ON THE LORD! When David confronted Goliad, he proclaimed: “Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.” I Sam. 17:45. The victories that the Lord had given him earlier gave him the confidence and the courage. You too ponder over the path along which the Lord has guided you; think about the victories He has brought you! Whatever matter I pray for, I make a note of it in my Prayer Diary. When God replies, I again make an entry. David never boasted, “I have the capability! I have the experience! I who killed the lion and the bear would kill you too!’ He never had this attitude and he never depended on his own strength. He relied entirely on the Lord. At times, when some needs and problems intimidate me, I flip through my Prayer Diary. When I again and again recount the wonders that the Lord has done to me, all my fears vanish and I gain courage and confidence. “David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.” I Sam. 17:37. Then I feel assured that the Lord who has done such great things in the past shall again do a miracle for me at present in this matter. You too should consider the previous victories that the Lord has given you. “...but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.” I Sam. 17:45. Are you going to take your Std. X exams? The Lord who helped you to succeed till Std. IX shall definitely help with this exam too. Are you going to appear for your Std. XII exams? Won’t the Lord who has given you success till Std. XI give you success now too? This is the reason why the Lord blessed David with victory. You too should depend on the Lord and not on your skills, talents, and strengths. You can be absolutely sure that the Lord who has helped you to be successful in your studies shall help you in your business or job! So, fear not! Face the exams confidently! Go ahead with your job boldly! Move forward in your business courageously. Once, a college student wrote to me in great anguish: “I have been getting the first rank in all my subjects, so far; but, in the final year examination, to my shock, I have failed in a few papers. As I was expecting the top rank, this failure is too much to bear. “ The Lord who gave victory to David shall bless you too with victory! I prayed for her and wrote a consoling letter to her. After a few days, she wrote again. Jesus Redeems 3 February 2007 So set aside time for the preparation. God can’t help the lazy; He only helps those who toil hard. In her letter she explained, “I have now understood the reason for my failure! I was so proud thinking that I am very good at my studies! I have a good memory! With my hard work and consistent effort, I shall succeed and score the first mark. God has now made me realize my pride. Work as hard as you can. Rely on the Lord for your victory and the victory comes from the Lord. HE BELIEVED! Now I have shed this pride and I have changed. Now I depend only upon the Lord for my success.” When she repeated her papers, she got a commendable victory. For your success, you too shall rely on the Lord. David challenged Goliad: “This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; for the battle is the LORD’S, and he will give you into our hands.” I Sam. 17:46, 47. “The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.”Prov. 21:31. David never said, “I shall try my best and fight and I shall fight as valiantly as possible. Then it is left to the Lord.” It is necessary for the horse to get ready for the war; however, the victory is not achieved because of the horse, but because of the Lord. Even before the fight, he was certain about his victory. In the similar way, it is necessary that you should prepare well for the exams. However, you should know that the victory comes from the Lord. Though you may burn the midnight oil for your study, it is the Lord who gives you the grace to study! He is the one who gives you good memory! He is the one who gives you good health and strength to write the exam. Only with His help you can gain victory, So, rely completely on Him. But, this doesn’t mean that you can be casual about your preparations, saying that God will anyway give me success and I needn’t study. In that case God cannot give you success, You should also prepare well. He declared, “The Lord shall deliver you into my hands.” God respected this faith and in the way he believed, God gave him the victory. God doesn’t help those who do not study. Jesus Redeems 4 February 2007 You too should believe! Believe and repeat, “I shall succeed in my exams. I shall be successful in my job! I shall be successful in my business! The Lord, who gave victory to this boy, shall give you victory too. Proclaim your faith, saying, “I thank the Lord who gives me victory.” The Lord shall respect your faith and He shall bless you with success. Victory comes from the Lord! Once, a father and son came to me for prayer. I thank you Lord who gives me victory! The father said, “ My son is going to appear for his final year exams. Due to lack of preparation, he has so far failed in many subjects. Now, together with his arrears, he has to take 13 exams. I thank you for all the successes you bestowed on me in the past! I believe that you shall give me success in this exam, as you had given me in the past. In this final semester, he wants to write all 13 exams and he claims that he will pass all of them. He was not able to pass even 4 or 5 papers; how is it possible for him to pass all 13 subjects simultaneously? So, I have been advising him to take his exams a few at a time. He is not listening to me. Please advise him.” I thank the Lord who gives success in my business… in job…in ministry…in family…! He replied, “In the past I was going my own way, displeasing the Lord; that was why I failed. I believe that the victory comes from the Lord! I can’t succeed in anything I tried to advise the boy, “Why don’t you relying on my own strength and accept your father’s suggestion and write intelligence. Only you can give me success and I rely only on you! your exams a few at a time and pass?” I expect a miraculous victory from you! Now, I have changed, and I have accepted Jesus into my heart. Hence, He shall help me to pass all 13 papers.” The Lord who gives me victory, I I was amazed at his faith. I told him, “I thank you…I thank you…! wouldn’t stand against your faith. As you wish, you take all the exams and God shall give you victory. “ I prayed for him and sent him away. In the name of Jesus Christ… Amen! He wrote all 13 papers and with God’s help he succeeded in all 13. Jesus Redeems Amen! 5 February 2007 TABERNACLE OF GOD!

(Mark 5:36) Fear not; The Lord Jesus will do miracles for you. You only need to believe; You will see miracles. The LORD has started this Thirappin Vaasal Prayer in order to pray for you with faith. Here are some miracles done by JESUS who answered our prayers during the previous Thirappin Vaasal Prayers. ANSWERED PRAYER ! After my marriage all of a sudden I took ill and no one could diagnose the disease. I was at the edge of death. At this juncture, I requested our respected brother to pray for me. He also prayed and the LORD rendered me a divine healing. In the meantime, I conceived. At the time of medical check-up, doctors declared strictly that I should not have no a baby and advised me to undergo abortion. With much burden, I requested our brother once again to pray for me. The LORD heard the prayer and enabled me to give birth to a handsome baby boy miraculously. In such a way I have been blessed. - Merlin Christopher, Ellai Naickanpatti. RENDERED DELIVERANCE! We belong to a Hindu family. My daughter was struggling with the spirit of fear for the past 6 years after her marriage and she used to come to our house as a result of some misunderstandings with her husband frequently. Her family life was so miserable and she couldn’t express her mental agony. Efforts that were taken to cure her problem through medication ended in a failure. There was no peace and happiness in the family. In this situation, I attended this prayer and beseeched our LORD to Jesus Redeems heal my daughter. This fervent prayer reached the Heavenly Father and my daughter was relieved of her problem. Praise the LORD for this deliverance. - Umaya Parvathi, Melakulam. DID A MIRACLE! We had a debt of Rs. 50,000. I attended the Thirappin Vasal Prayer and prayed for the removal of this problem. The LORD heard the prayer and enabled us to settle all our debts. Besides, when was pregnant for 4 months, I fad a serious illness. Doctors were sure that I would have a miscarriage. My sorrow had no limits. I had faith in this Thirappin Vasal Prayer and requested the prayer warriors to pray for my healing. They also prayed. The LORD heard the prayer and I found grace in HIS eyes. I gave birth to a beautiful child in a normal delivery. - Dhanaselvi Sasikumar, Nagalpakkam. CYST DISAPPEARED ! During the eighth month of my pregnancy, I fell sick that resulted in weakness of my body. When medical check up was done, doctors said, “your heart is weak and the blood count also is less. Moreover, there is a growth in your stomach. Hence, chances were fewer for a normal delivery. But surgery may be risky.” With 12 February 2007 much burden, I requested Jesus Redeems prayer team to pray for my healing in the Thirappin Vaasal Prayer. They also prayed. The Lord heard the prayer, and the cyst disappeared, my weakness changed and the LORD enabled me to give birth to a child in a normal delivery. - Binu Jeyakumari, Kallanguzhi. SAW THE TEARS ! My daughter- in- law had a bitter experience of two of her babies dying soon after birth within five years of her married life. When she conceived for the 3rd time, as per the instruction of the doctors, we planned to get the child delivered through Caesarian as a precautionary measure. I attended the Thirappin Vaasal Prayer and prayed for my daughter-in-law’s safe delivery earnestly. The LORD showed His mercy on her and helped her to give birth to a child in normal delivery. - Gnanasundari, Pannavilai Pudur. HEALED THE HIP PAIN! I was suffering from unbearable pain on my hip for the past 4 years. I found it difficult to do even a very small chore at home. With hope and expectation, I attended in the Thirappin Vaasal Prayer. While the prayer for the sick was going on, Holy Spirit revealed my problem through our brother and he prayed for me by mentioning my name. As soon as he prayed, the hip pain vanished. Now, I can do my work well. - Chandran, Arasakulam. AFTER 8 YEARS...! I was childless for 8 years of my married life. Various kinds of treatments in this regard ended in failure. I wrote a letter to Jesus Redeems ministries, requesting them to pray for the blessing of a child in my family. They also prayed and sent a reply. The LORD heard the prayer and granted the blessing of a child in my life. - Jonitta Rani, Thoothukudi. 20 YEARS OF WAITING...! After I finishing my nursing course, in spite of seriously hunting for a job for 20 long years, I never got a job. All my efforts ended in failure. Job opportunities appeared but they seemed like “Mirage” in the desert. In this state of anguish, I attended the Thirappin Vaasal Prayer and prayed for my job with broken heart. Besides, I requested the prayer team to pray for this cause through letter. My waiting time was not at all a wasting time. GOD of compassion showed mercy on me and I got a job after 20 years. - Ulagammal, Palayamkottai.

Thoothukudi Dt., Jesus Redeems 13 February 2007 [Continued from January 2006 Issue] Later in 1902, around 1,84,752 people became victims. After two years, the number of people who died rose to 1,94,000, according to statistics. Man has battled with many deadly diseases and viruses down the ages. In the olden days, diseases like malaria, cholera and chicken pox terrified people. In the end however, man found a remedy for these diseases and after appropriate research and treatment, he has brought these under his control. He also succeeded in rooting out several deadly disease causing viruses that existed in the3 olden days. Tiding of Admonition! Bro. Vincent Selvakumar Voice of Jesus Ministries, Ramanathapuram Today however, man is himself creating the same deadly viruses. Viruses and disease-causing germs are being deliberately produced and spread by man. In ancient times, dogs were used during wars. Later, horses were also used. In countries like India, Elephants were used for war. Today, however, the trend is to make use of deadly killer germs/viruses to destroy the enemy. (Let us hasten to be prepared!) This is what we dislike about preachers If then T.V. is a craze , if the voter's identity card is issued, if there's no water in the tap it I s a sign of the end times. They will say that the Lord's coming is at hand. Patience…Patience! Study the Bible closely. Find out if what I'm saying is right and then accept the truth. Otherwise reject what I'm saying here. No harm done! Okay, what does the Bible say? "For nation shall rise, against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes." Matt 24: 7 "And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven." Luke 21: 11 The Bible does not merely say that there will be famines and deadly diseases. The Word begins with "nation shall rise, against nation," and then continues to say, "…there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes." Thus we understand that this reference is not to famines, deadly diseases and earthquakes that occur naturally but are a consequence of wars. This means that the famines, deadly diseases and earthquakes that occur during the last days, are not a natural phenomenon, but a product of man's enmity. How True this is today! We are not afraid of the deadly viruses. At the time when Lord Jesus Christ revealed However, our hearts are troubled when we this, no one would have even imagined such a recollect what the Bible says about the signs of the deadly germ warfare. End Times that such killer germs will be spread during wars and that the number of diseases will Today, these deadly diseases are produced and multiply. Jesus Redeems 14 February 2007 spread in many places, by countries, which want to seek vengeance against their enemies. This is an emphatic sign of the last days. Whenever we preach that "famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes" are a sign of the end times, many mockingly question, "When was there ever a time without famines or diseases? They have occurred from time to time in several places. The famines and diseases that have occurred up to now have been due to natural reasons. The ones that will occur in the end times, however, will be a result of the enmity between nations. Therefore, there need be no second thought about this There is very little time left. Friend, pay close attention! The Lord Jesus' second coming is seen in every movement of the world. If you are prepared to meet him, then join with me to joyfully say, Amen! Even so come Lord Jesus! "Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. " Rev. 1:3. The question is a reasonable one! But, the answer is not so simple. Everything that has a 'beginning' must also have an 'end'. Almost all the Books of the Bible speak about this and the Book of Revelation deals with this fact in great detail. Even religious texts belonging to the other religions of the world agree on the fact that "the world has an end". Every sensible person will agree that ' the world we live in is facing a terrible destruction'. A close look will plainly reveal that this awareness of the world's end has gripped everybody. The main topic of conversation amongst scientists, theologists, journalists, national leaders and common people belonging to every class, is about the End Times. This awareness has been prevalent in mankind only in the last few years. Dr. Robert M. Hutchins, Vice Chancellor at The University of Chicago says: "I cannot even imagine that there will be a future beyond the next fifty years." "But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer." I Pet. 4:7. Listen to what research historian H.G.Wells says: "The world is in its last moments. It is clear that there is an end to everything in this world." ('Mind at the end of the Earth.' By H.G. Wells) "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. " Rev. 22: 11-12. Earlier, the world thought that the idea of 'last days' and 'end times' was merely a fanciful notion held by Christian leaders.
