"Faithful prayer heals the sick"

The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. James 5:15.

This verse focuses on the power of faith in prayer. In the Bible, in Matthew 8:5-13, as Jesus enters Capernaum, a Roman officer known as a 'centurion' begs him to heal his servant. Jesus offers to go to his house, but the centurion says that he is unworthy and asks Jesus to say a word, believing that his servant will be healed. He understands the power of Jesus' words and authority. His servant received healing immediately. Jesus has the power not only to heal but also to forgive us our sins. We must have faith to receive any blessings from Him.  In Hebrews 11:6, the writer of Hebrews says, "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."

விசுவாசமுள்ள ஜெபம் பிணியாளியை இரட்சிக்கும்; கர்த்தர் அவனை எழுப்புவார்; அவன் பாவஞ்செய்தவனானால் அது அவனுக்கு மன்னிக்கப்படும். யாக்கோபு 5:15.

இந்த வசனம் விசுவாசமுள்ள ஜெபத்தின் வல்லமையை  நமக்குத் தெளிவாக எடுத்துக் கூறுகிறது. பைபிளில், மத்தேயு 8:5-13 -ல், இயேசு கப்பர்நகூமிற்குள் நுழையும் போது, ​​'நூற்றுக்கு அதிபதி' என்று அழைக்கப்படும் ஒரு ரோமானிய அதிகாரி தனது வேலைக்காரனைக் குணப்படுத்தும்படி வேண்டிக்கொள்கிறான். இயேசு அவனது வீட்டிற்குச் செல்ல முன்வருகிறார், ஆனால் நூற்க்கு  அதிபதி, “ஆண்டவரே! நீர் என் வீட்டுக்குள் பிரவேசிக்க நான் பாத்திரன் அல்ல; ஒரு வார்த்தைமாத்திரம் சொல்லும், அப்பொழுது என் வேலைக்காரன் சொஸ்தமாவான்.” என்று  இயேசுவிடம் கேட்கிறான் . இயேசுவின் வார்த்தைகள் மற்றும் வல்லமையை அவன்  தெரிந்திருந்தான். அந்த நேரத்திலேயே அவன் வேலைக்காரன் சொஸ்தமானான். சுகப்படுத்துவது மட்டுமல்ல, நம்முடைய பாவங்களையும்  மன்னிக்கும் வல்லமை இயேசுவுக்கு உண்டு. அவரிடமிருந்து எந்த ஆசீர்வாதத்தையும் பெற நமக்கு விசுவாசம் இருக்க வேண்டும். எபிரேயர் 11:6 -ல்,  எபிரேயரை எழுதியவர் கூறுகிறார், “விசுவாசமில்லாமல் தேவனுக்குப் பிரியமாயிருப்பது கூடாதகாரியம்; ஏனென்றால், தேவனிடத்தில் சேருகிறவன் அவர் உண்டென்றும், அவர் தம்மைத் தேடுகிறவர்களுக்குப் பலன் அளிக்கிறவரென்றும் விசுவாசிக்கவேண்டும்.”

Blog # 358 - "Trust in God's unchanging power"

Image
Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us. 2 Corinthians 1:10. The Apostle Paul praises God for His power that delivered His children from death and dangers in the past, continues to do so in the present, and will do so forever. God is all-powerful. He is omnipotent. He is our deliverer and redeemer. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. When all human hope and help fail, He is there to assist when we call upon His name. There is no one else like Him to give us hope when all doors are closed. We need to be thankful to Him for the past miracles so that we can witness future ones. Even today, He is ready to help us if we place our trust in Him, especially in times of trouble. Do you trust in God's power to deliver and help you in times of trouble, just as He has done in the past? Psalm 18:2 says: "The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield a

Blog # Y2 001 - "Praise Deepens Our Relationship with God"

Image
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Psalm 106:1. We truly praise the Lord when we give Him thanks for what we have received from Him. Gratitude toward the Lord is an attitude of the heart that deepens our intimate relationship with God. Being thankful to God is an act of worship. King David says: “I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” (Psalm 34:1). The Apostle Paul encourages us to always thank the Lord for the grace of God given to us in Christ Jesus. Let us never be slow to return our praises to the Lord. He is worthy to be praised. Even when we are unfaithful, God remains faithful to His covenant, consistently showing us grace, mercy, and kindness. Are you deepening your relationship with God by giving Him thanks and praise for all He has done?   1 Thessalonians 5:18 says: “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” அல்லேலூயா, கர்த்தரைத் துதியுங்கள்; அவர் நல்ல

Blog # 359 - "Trust in God's mighty power"

Image
Behold, God is mighty, but despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding. Job 36:5. Today’s scripture speaks of how mighty our God is and of His strength and understanding. When trouble comes, we often focus more on the problem than on the mighty power of God , and we get discouraged easily. But God expects us to remember and praise Him, that He is all-powerful, strong, and mighty and praise Him. He has the power to control nature, the universe, and all of creation. He sent His only Son into the world to crush the enemy's head at the cross. King David could easily defeat the giant Goliath, revealing the power of God as greater than that of the enemy. We should always remember that our God is the Lord of Hosts, and who is victorious. When we have faith in God and His might, we will see miracles in our lives. Are you remembering to focus on God's mighty power and strength in times of trouble, trusting in His ability to bring victory and miracles into your life?   Ps

Blog # Y2 002 - "Choose God's Will Over the World"

Image
And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. 1 John 2:17. There is a clear contrast between the two statements in this verse. Those who follow God's will live forever, while those who chase temporary worldly things will lose their life. The believers who please the world will lose their reward. The choice before us is whether to do God's will or satisfy our fleshly desires. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we are called to follow His words and live with the mind of Christ, striving to do His will. However, if after receiving salvation we fall into worldly temptations—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—we will not enter into heaven. Many of us desire to do God's will, but are not willing to sacrifice what is necessary to please Him. Are you willing to sacrifice worldly desires in order to follow God's will and receive eternal life? Romans 12:2 says: "And do not be conformed to

Blog # 357 - "Sow peace to reap righteousness."

Image
Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. James 1:18. Today’s verse speaks about the fruit of righteousness. It is the peacemaker who sows seeds of peace to reap a harvest of righteousness. The Apostle James uses the word "peace" here to refer to the right relationships among people. He desires peace in the church and among believers, knowing that peace is the only environment in which righteousness can flourish. God loves peacemakers. The wisdom of this world produces trouble, while the wisdom from above produces peace among people. God-trusting, self-sacrificing heavenly wisdom is the source of peace, gentleness, mercy, and righteousness. Are you sowing seeds of peace to reap a harvest of righteousness? Matthew 5:9 says: "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called sons of God." நீதியாகிய கனியானது சமாதானத்தை நடப்பிக்கிறவர்களாலே சமாதானத்திலே விதைக்கப்படுகிறது. யாக்கோபு 3:18. இன்றைய வசனம் நீதியாகிய கனியைப் பற்றிப் பேசுகிறது.

Blog # 360 - "Enemies flee when prayers rise"

Image
The Lord has heard my supplication; The Lord will receive my prayer. Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled; Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly. Psalm 6:9-10. Today, we witness the power of prayer and how the enemy trembles and flees from the children of God when they pray. This verse illustrates how King David prayed to God with faith, and God answered by defeating the enemies who came against him, putting them to shame before him. Similarly, in our lives, when we cry out to God, He will answer our supplications, and we will see our enemies flee from us. God will put to shame those who rise against us when we seek His face with great faith. Do you trust in the power of prayer, believing that God will answer your cries and cause your enemies to flee?   Psalm 50:15 says: “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” கர்த்தர் என் விண்ணப்பத்தைக் கேட்டார்; கர்த்தர் என் ஜெபத்தை ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளுவார். என் பகைஞர் எல்லாரும் வெட்கி மிகவும்

Blog # Y2 008 - "How to listen God's voice Daily"

Image
Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left. Isaiah 30:21. This verse explains how to hear and follow God's voice. God speaks to us in various ways, and we can prepare by being still and clearing away distractions. This "quiet time" practice helps us focus on Christ. The more time we spend in His presence, the better we’ll recognize His voice. Prayerfully reading the Bible is the best way to do this. When we surrender to God and invite Him to speak, we can hear His gentle voice. God wants us to rely on Him and listen to His direction in everything we do. He desires for us to become all that He created us to be. He has a plan to guide us there, but we must be obedient and follow His leading. Are you spending quiet time in God's presence to better recognize His voice and follow His guidance in your life?  Proverbs 3:6 says: "In all your ways acknowledge Him, An
