Most Christians world-wide recite 'The Prayer taught by the Lord' several times every day. "Our Father Who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name"... This is the most important prayer for the Christians especially the Catholics. If we read the Holy Bible, we can understand the fact that the 'Name of God' is as Holy and Powerful as He is, and whoever loves, venerates and calls upon His Holy Name shall witness God's guaranteed intervention and be saved.
As already mentioned in other posts in this blog, any prayer must come out from the depth of the heart of a devotee to receive an answer from God. Unfortunately most people recite prayers 'byheart' merely with their lips. In spite of their repeated prayers, they do not get any response and lose their hearts. If you want an immediate result for your prayers, do it with a whole heart and faith. If your prayers are wet with your tears, the effects are faster and instant. Glorify the Holy Name of Almighty God and ask anything in His Holy and Powerful name and see... You will see a miracle... Guaranteed!
To praise and ask anything in God's Name, it is good if you know what is God's Name. God has revealed His Names in the Holy Bible depending upon the circumstances. To Moses He said 'I AM WHO I AM' (EXODUS 3: 13-15). Almighty God's Name is mentioned as 'YHWH' in Hebrew. YahWeh and Jehovah are derived from YHWH. The meaning of 'Yahweh' is something like 'God self existing ever'.
The meaning of the Name of God is 'Almighty', 'Holy', 'Everlasting', 'Without Beginning or end', 'Love', 'Compassion', 'Defender', 'Provider' 'Creator', etc.
Below is the list of some of the revealed Names of God in the Holy Bible. The Last disclosed Name of Almighty God is 'JESUS'!
01. Abba (Father): In the New Testament, Jesus, the incarnated God, teaches to call God as 'Father' (Matt. 6:9)! We can call God Daddy or Papa affectionately with a personal relationship, as you call your earthly parent. In the Old Testament, none of His beloved Prophets or chosen ones dared to call Him Abba or Father.
02. Alpha & Omega: Meaning 'The Beginning and End' or the 'First and Last'.
03. El Chuwl: Meaning 'God Who Made You'.
04. El Deah: Meaning 'God Of Wisdom/Knowledge'.

The One and Only Name Given 2000 years ago for the Total Salvation of All mankind. The Most Powerful Name Capable to Perform Any Miracle.

'Lord, open my eyes. I want to see' (Lk. 18:41) We may have read or heard these verses in the Holy Bible several times. As the Lord Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. When the blind man heard the noise of the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by." He called out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" Lord Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Lord Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" "Lord, I want to see," he replied. Then Lord Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has healed you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.
As per the statistics of the global agencies conducting studies on eye-sight and blindness, the number of blind in the world is estimated to 39 million and people with vision impairment is 108 million. Due to a number of factors the number of people with vision impairment is expected to rise steeply in the years to come.
The natural (physical) eyes are helpful to see the wondrous things in the universe. A person who sees (and studies) all these beautiful and mysterious creations, may think about the One who created and maintains them. But all people with eye-sight are not seeing the Creator behind the magnificent creations. At the same time many people who are naturally blind have strong belief in God.
Being physically blind is empathetic and they surely deserve our support and sympathy. But being 'spiritually blind' is very pathetic and dangerous. The inability to see (due to lack of belief/faith) the occurrence of the Word of God is 'spiritual blindness'. In other words, every promise in the Holy Bible, when prayed with 'faith' is 'happened'. But spiritual blindness makes the person unable to see or feel them. It may be the evil forces (sins) that cover the eyes of the soul.
Lets go to 2 Kings 6: 10-20. The man of God (Elisha) revealed the secret plans of the enemy (Aram) to the king of Israel. When the king of Aram came to know about it, he sent horses and chariots and a great army to seize Elisha. They came by night surrounded the whole city. Now when the servant of Prophet Elisha had risen early and gone out he saw the huge army and cried out in panic. But Elisha was calm and comforted him saying that they had a bigger and more powerful army ready to protect them. But Elisha's servant could see it and perceive only after the Prophet prayed and opened his 'inner eyes'! Even though the servant could not see the huge heavenly army of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha, it was truly positioned there.
It will be very difficult to cure people who are spiritually blind because they think and claim they see, even though they do not see. The fact is that they are unaware that they are blind. The Word of God can enter into their soul, only if they humbly open their ears to God's Words shared through different channels. Through reading the Holy Bible or through His chosen representatives or through participating in Spiritual retreats/activities one can hear the Words of God. Only the Holy Spirit can cure their blindness and make them see the 'invisible' things that really exist.
Unfortunately there are many 'practicing' faithful in the church who are spiritually blind and deaf. They think that all what they reason, believe, say or do only are right and correct (to their convenience). They neither believe nor listen to God's Words. They never bother to accept the fact and try to rectify their blindness. Such blindness and deafness may lead them to destruction. If they humbly beseech the Lord who shed His Blood and poured His Life for them, their inner eyes will obtain sight. For getting crystal clear spiritual sight, the easiest and best way is to resolve firmly and take a pledge to Pray the Holy Rosary everyday without break. The Holy Virgin Mother will surely and gladly help everyone who implores her aid to reach Her Son. After getting inner sight of the spirit, one will be able to see clearly what is good and what is bad and whether the path one travels is right or wrong. Only those who are spiritually sighted can see 'clearly and really' the Saviour of the Humanity in the Holy Eucharist. And innumerable angels and saints who ceaselessly adore Him where ever the Holy Mass is offered and/or the Holy Eucharistic Adoration is held.
We find the spiritual blindness of two of the disciples being cured at the Lord's Supper on the Easter Day. Two disciples of the Lord who were on their way to Emmaus could not 'recognize' the Lord even though He walked more than 10 km along with them and talked elaborately on 'the Messiah' starting from Moses and all the Prophets. Their eyes were opened and they could see the Lord only after 'He took Bread, gave thanks, broke it and gave them'. (Luke 24: 30-31). This incident demonstrates the fact that Participating in the Holy Mass and receiving worthily the Holy Eucharist will open blind eyes and deaf ears.
Like the servant of Prophet Elisha who could not see the heavenly army (even though it was very present there), if a person cannot feel or see the presence of the Lord in Holy places or in the fellows and poor people, let him understand that he/she is spiritually blind and beg the lord as the blind beggar in Jericho did, "Lord, open my eyes and let me see"..!
World famous Charismatic Preachers and healers Rev Fr Xavier Khan Vattayil and Rev Fr Binoy Karimaruthinkal who are presently serving as the directors of the Sehion Ministry and Sehion Retreat center respectively at Attapadi near Palakkad in Kerala started a new 'Religious Congregation' in the Syro-Malabar Church by name 'Preachers of Divine Mercy' (PDM). This is following the approval of their application (which they had applied earlier) by the Catholic Bishop of Palaghat Mar Jacob Manathodath to start a pious union particularly for priests.
This news may be misinterpreted and circulated wrongly by vested interests that are hounding the Catholic Church to persecute it. [Some channels, media or people who are anti-Christian may even try to spread false news like Rev Fr Xavier Khan Vattayil left the Catholic Church and started his own organization]. The purpose of the anointed Charismatic Preachers is to make the Catholic Priests more pious and devoted and spread the message of the "Divine Mercy" more fervently and ardently as the world is passing towards the end, and the Compassionate Lord wants everyone under the sun to avail the 'fruit' of His inexplicable Passion and death on the Cross that is His 'Divine Mercy' free of cost or effort.
These two spirit-filled priests together with Rev Sr Amy Emmanuel had earlier founded a monastery (nunnery) by name "Abhishekagni Sisters" in Palakkad for women. The aim of this Ashram is to strive for world Evangelization.
This new congregation will definitely boost up the activities of the Holy Spirit in the Charismatic Church and be a powerful one to produce many committed Priests with a thirst for souls and to spread the Divine Love and Compassion to the mankind. Some more Priests who hold similar interest and many youth who wish to become priests with similar objectives are expected to join this congregation. It will be an asset for the Catholic Church particularly the Syro Malabar Church.
Lets all wish this holy venture all success and extend every support including our prayer support for it.
