We have a simple Gospel – don’t complicate it (Part 2)

Jesus went through all the cities and villages, teaching in the synagogues, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom and healing every sickness and disease among the people, Matt 9.36ff. It says, ‘When He saw the multitudes He was moved with compassion on them – one translation says ‘His heart was melted’ – because they were scattered abroad as sheep with no shepherd.’ Yes, these people had leadership in their synagogues, and leadership in the Sanhedrin (the overall governing religious body), despite the internal factions of Pharisees and Sadducees. But Jesus saw that the common people in reality had no shepherd to care for them. 
People today are looking for leadership, for direction, for purpose. In Britain, the sale of Bibles in 2025 soared to a record high because young people, ‘Gen Z’, don’t find any answer in the world. People are drifting, they don’t like the leaders they see but they will follow a leader – if that leader is right! And Jesus is the one, the only one! A leader moved with compassion for people!

Living in the Power of the Holy Spirit | Two Minute Daily Devotional

When we receive the Holy Spirit, we receive power from God, and that power is meant to be demonstrated. What I sense today is that much of the Church is not living in that power or demonstrating it to the world. So, I would ask: if you have received the Holy Spirit, what difference has it made in your life?
When we lay hands on people in the name of Jesus, it is He who heals – not us. We are simply His willing vessels.
The call to “repent and be converted” is a call to change. Conversion is more than simply believing; it is a transformed life that reflects Christ.
In the book of Acts, we read that the disciples and the early Church devoted themselves daily to meeting together in the temple courts and in their homes. They praised God, enjoyed the favour of the people, and the Lord added to their number day by day. How I long to see that reality again – that every day people are coming to faith, being transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit, and being added to the Church.

Faith in Action | July Monthly Newsletter - An Update from David Hathaway

As I write this, I’m about to leave for 2 weeks in Ukraine! But I have only just returned from 2 weeks in Kazakhstan, possibly the most powerful of my life – it was an explosion of Power and Fire. This is the beginning of a powerful miracle which I have waited for all my life. From my earliest years of evangelism, I have believed that Joel’s prophecy in Chapters 2-3, greater than Acts 2, is to be fulfilled immediately before Christ’s Return! Now it’s happening! …Aged 94 the Lord is fulfilling His promise to me – in my coming days I will see more Fire, more Power from the Holy Spirit than in the beginning. In these two weeks I have seen more evidence of the Holy Spirit than ever before in my life! And it is clear; I am operating under a Divine Authority greater than that of the opposition!

We have a simple Gospel – don’t complicate it (Part 1)

We have a simple Gospel – don’t complicate it. Jesus called 12 disciples and gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness, saying, “Go, tell them, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand’.” Matt 10:1,7. He said this in difficult times, in a troubled society, where the Jews were divided amongst themselves, and Rome controlled the whole of Israel. His fame spread fast across the land, Matt 9:26, because people were looking for a leader, a Messiah, to save them – and because He healed them.
People will follow a leader. Today there’s an emptiness, the youth are searching. And Jesus is the one! The only one! In Matthew 9:27, two blind men heard of all the miracles Jesus had done and they followed Him into the house where He was, crying out, “Son of David, have mercy on us!” Though blind, they recognised the prophetic significance of who Jesus is. Jesus saw their faith, touched their eyes and their eyes where opened.
And Jesus went through all the cities and villages, teaching in the synagogues, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom and healing every sickness and disease among the people, Matt 9:36ff. It says, ‘When He saw the multitudes He was moved with compassion on them – one translation says ‘His heart was melted’ – because they were scattered abroad as sheep with no shepherd.’ Yes, these people had leadership in their synagogues, and leadership in the Sanhedrin (the overall governing religious body), despite the internal factions of Pharisees and Sadducees. But Jesus saw that the common people in reality had no shepherd to care for them.

Standing on the Authority of the Word of God | Two Minute Daily Devotional

Then Jesus came into Capernaum and a Roman centurion came to Him, ‘Lord, I have a sick servant at home.’ Jesus said, ‘I’ll come to your house.’ He said, ‘Don’t, I’m not a good man,’ and I don’t suppose he was if he was a Roman centurion! But the officer said the most amazing thing, ‘One word from You and my servant will be healed! I’m a man under authority, an officer in the most powerful army in the world. I have authority from those above, and over those under me. My men obey me! Jesus, I recognise in You the same authority.’
This is what the Roman officer understood, that Jesus was a man like himself who had been given authority. The centurion’s authority was over men – Jesus’ authority was over the devil, sin and sickness.
We need to understand that we can also receive this authority in our own lives, if we live by faith and obedience to His authority.
I stand on the Authority and the Word of God. Jesus is set apart, because He is declared to be the Son of God with POWER. God demonstrates this TODAY by miracles, by signs, by wonders!

Healed by the Authority of God's Word | Two Minute Daily Devotional

Jesus did not heal the sick by His praying, He healed them by His authority, by His word of command. With this centurion, Jesus spoke the word – the centurion believed, went home and his servant was healed.
In verse 16, when the evening was come they brought Him many that were possessed with devils – and he cast out the spirits with His word! And He healed all that were sick, probably including the sceptics and unbelievers! Jesus healed to demonstrate His authority, not just to test the faith or spiritual level of the cripples. When I minister, I do not actually pray for the sick, but I command the sickness to go. My praying comes first before I even start to minister. I need to fast and pray to receive the faith that comes through the Holy Spirit and to receive my authority for the healing miracles that follow.
I take my authority directly from God and from His Word. This is what the Roman officer understood, that Jesus was a man like himself who had been given authority. The centurion’s authority was over men – Jesus’ authority was over the devil, sin and sickness.

Who is Jesus? Peace in the storm (with Vinesong) - Legacy Episode

In Matthew 8:23-27 Jesus was asleep, a storm arose, so the disciples woke Him saying, 'Don't you care, we're going to die! It's the end of the world...' Jesus got up, bound the storm, the winds stopped, the boat was safe, nobody died. When these strong fishermen saw the demonstration of the power that this Man had over the elements, they said, 'What kind of Man do we have in the boat?' Just as Jesus was in the middle of that storm on Galilee, today, wherever, whenever there is a crisis, a tragedy, sickness, sin, fear or pain in your life, Jesus is always there!

The most important chapter in the Bible on healing | Two Minute Daily Devotional

In Matthew 9:6, Jesus healed the paralytic – ‘so that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins.’
For me the most important chapter in the Bible on healing is Matthew 8. Jesus came down from the mountain and thousands followed Him. A leper came and said, ‘If You want to, You can heal me!’ Jesus said, ‘I want to!’ and it was done. Then Jesus came into Capernaum and a Roman centurion came to Him, ‘Lord, I have a sick servant at home.’ Jesus said, ‘I’ll come to your house.’ He said, ‘Don’t, I’m not a good man,’ and I don’t suppose he was if he was a Roman centurion! But the officer said the most amazing thing, ‘One word from You and my servant will be healed! I’m a man under authority, an officer in the most powerful army in the world. I have authority from those above, and over those under me. My men obey me! Jesus, I recognise in You the same authority.’
Yes, I have an anointing – but I also have an authority, direct from God, over the devil, over sickness, over sin. Jesus did not heal the sick by His praying, He healed them by His authority, by His word of command. With this centurion, Jesus spoke the word – the centurion believed, went home and his servant was healed.

He Never Said, "Come Back" | Two Minute Daily Devotional

The first time I began major evangelism in Siberia in 1994, I took four hundred co-evangelists and spent three months there, 16,000 km away from home. We didn’t have enough money when we went, I had just enough for one-way tickets. Some asked me where were the return tickets, and I told them, in the Gospels Jesus said ‘Go’ many times – He never once said, ‘Come back!’ But God did provide – we came back – by faith!
But in the Gospels, how many men followed Jesus? He fed 5000 men plus women and children – I’m sure that sometimes He preached to more than 20,000. How many did He heal? Take one example – ten lepers, only one returned. Maybe in Jerusalem when the crowds were crying out, ‘Crucify Him!’ there were some among them who had been healed. And if there were some that hadn’t been healed, they would have been shouting louder still. Only a few of those thousands who had followed Jesus and been healed remained loyal to Him at the end. We face the same situation today. But I want to make it absolutely clear, I cannot find anywhere in the New Testament where Jesus differentiated and said, ‘You’re a believer, so you’ll get healed,’ and ‘You’re not a believer, I’m sorry, I won’t heal you.’ Matthew 8:16 says, ‘He healed all.’

3 Sources of Spiritual Power (Part 3)

I’m challenging you: there are three sources of Power. There’s Power in prayer. There’s Power in the Blood of Christ. And there’s the Power of the Holy Spirit - that’s the Power released to us through the resurrected Jesus! I may be 94, but I want more power, in Jesus’ Name! 
In 1 Cor 12:28ff, Paul is talking about the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and the different gifts He gives us, “In the church God has appointed apostles, prophets, teachers, workers of miracles, helpers, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking with different kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? No. Are all prophets? No. Are all teachers? No. Are all workers of miracles? No. have all got gifts of healing? No. Do all speak in tongues, do all interpret? But covert earnestly the best gifts!” 
I strongly believe that if you’ve received the Holy Spirit, you should call upon Him to give you some of the gifts! Come on! We NEED the gifts of the Spirit. I need the gifts of the Spirit. They are the demonstration you have received the Baptism! 
Whatever the gift, whether it’s speaking in tongues, prophesying, discerning of spirits, whatever it is, Paul said, “Seek the best gift.” I did. When I received the Holy Spirit, I took this literally. I said, “Holy Spirit, I don’t want the vocal gifts” - yes, like Paul, I can speak in tongues ‘more than anybody’, and I don’t claim to interpret tongues or to be a prophet, I don’t claim to have the discerning of spirits, knowledge or wisdom - but I said, “Holy Spirit, what gets me excited is I want the practical gifts: the gifts of faith, of miracles and of gifts of healing!” And to me the most important was the gift of faith - and that’s what I asked for! Because without faith you can’t please God! Come on! To please God I needed faith! 

We need the Power of the Holy Spirit | Two Minute Daily Devotional

We need the power of the Holy Spirit to see miracles! There are nine gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12: – three vocal gifts, speaking with tongues, the interpretation of tongues, and prophecy – three intellectual gifts, the word of knowledge, the word of wisdom, and the discerning of spirits – three practical gifts, the gifts of healing, the working of miracles and the gift of faith. The gift of faith is NOT an intellectual gift! If you see faith as only an intellectual gift, you will never see its power. It is a practical gift; it’s the one I ask for – more than any other gift!
Jesus HEALED the sick
Jesus never once in the four Gospels told His disciples to pray for the sick. He said, ‘HEAL the sick!’ (Luke 9&10). He was speaking with authority; this isn’t a game you play. He said you’ve got authority to preach the Gospel and HEAL the sick – both are the command of Christ! Yes, in James 5:14 it says ‘the prayer of faith will save the sick’ – but this is in the church. There is a big difference between the call of the evangelist and ministry within the church. ‘Preach the Gospel, HEAL the sick!’ – as an evangelist, I HAVE to do it! It’s a command. I CAN’T stop preaching the Gospel – I CAN’T stop healing miracles following. And God will even heal the unbelievers – whether they repent or not!

3 Sources of Spiritual Power (Part 2)

There is POWER in the Blood of Christ! In the early years when I was still a pastor, we used to sing a lot of great songs about the Blood - many will know the song, ‘There’s Power, Power, wonder-working Power, in the precious Blood of the Lamb’. There’s Power to overcome sin, Power to break the curse! The significance of the Power of the Blood of Jesus was foreshadowed in the miracle that brought the children of Israel out of slavery in Egypt - which is prophetic of our being brought out of a life of sin into the life of Christ! They had to sacrifice a lamb and put the blood on the doorpost of their houses. Why? Because that night the angel of death was coming to slaughter the firstborn child of every family living in Egypt. But when the angel of death saw the blood on the doorposts of the Israelites, he passed over and they alone were spared. The Israelites had to remember this every year at Passover and they still do!
But we have to come under the covering of the Blood of Christ as our eternal protection. When we take communion, we are reminding ourselves of the Power of the Blood. Scripture is clear: without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. Hebrew 9:22. We cannot have a ‘bloodless’ Gospel. I’m sorry, you can’t! When we take communion, we must remember that it’s the Blood of Christ that cleanses us, saves us! The Blood that He shed paid the price of our sin! Come on! This is the basic essential of the Gospel! You cannot have salvation without the Blood!

The Gift of Faith | Two Minute Daily Devotional

Peter, on the day of Pentecost, talking about Jesus, says, ‘You yourselves know the man, born in Nazareth, His father, His mother, His brothers and sisters. But we know He was different because God demonstrated it by miracles, by signs, by wonders!’ That is the Word of God and I believe everything in the Word of God is true! Either believe it all, or don’t believe any of it! If you start to take bits out of the Bible, what have you left? Even in the Old Testament, how did God deliver Israel out of Egypt? By miracles! How did God cause Israel to repent when they were worshipping Baal in the time of Elijah? By a miracle of fire! We need the power of the Holy Spirit to see miracles! There are nine gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12: – three vocal gifts, speaking with tongues, the interpretation of tongues, and prophecy – three intellectual gifts, the word of knowledge, the word of wisdom, and the discerning of spirits – three practical gifts, the gifts of healing, the working of miracles and the gift of faith. The gift of faith is NOT an intellectual gift! If you see faith as only an intellectual gift, you will never see its power. It is a practical gift; it’s the one I ask for – more than any other gift!

Declared to be the Son of God with Power | Two Minute Daily Devotional

Jesus Christ, made of the seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of Holiness, by the resurrection from the dead’ (Romans 1:3-4).
Paul says Jesus is set apart, because He is declared to be the Son of God with POWER. Very clearly in Scripture, Jesus Christ is confirmed to be the Son of God by the demonstration of power in His life. In the Acts 2:22, Peter speaks in the same way, ‘Jesus of Nazareth, a man’ – emphasising God as man – ‘approved of God among you by miracles, by wonders, by signs.’
The church of today is apologetic
Formal Christianity has totally moved away from the miraculous, and the moment that you do, you’ve lost the purpose of our Christian faith and its power. If there were no miracles in the life of Jesus – the virgin birth, the resurrection and the miracles of His ministry – then He is no different from any other so-called god or prophet. Peter, on the day of Pentecost, talking about Jesus, says, ‘You yourselves know the man, born in Nazareth, His father, His mother, His brothers and sisters. But we know He was different because God demonstrated it by miracles, by signs, by wonders!’

What is your 'Reasonable Service' to God? (with Vinesong) | Legacy Episode

What is 'reasonable service'? 'Reasonable service' is what the mechanic does to your car when it breaks down and you pay him to put it right, and only when it's fixed is it 'reasonable service'! Or you have somebody to clean, or paint, or build your house - but if what they do is only what they are paid for, they're not giving you anything. You pay for it, so it's 'reasonable service'. Christian, the Son of God gave His whole life for you on the cross - and your reasonable service is to give Him your life back in return. That is why the Apostle Paul wrote, 'I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service' (Romans 12:1, KJV).

Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God | Two Minute Daily Devotional

I know Jesus died, but everybody dies. Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, all died and one day, unless Jesus comes first, you will die too. But the difference is that when they put Jesus in a grave, it couldn’t hold Him, the power of the Holy Spirit came into His dead body, He broke open that grave, He came out, He’s alive! What kind of Man is this? The grave cannot hold Him – the wind and the sea are obedient to Him – no demon spirit in hell can stand against Him – no human can resist Him! That’s the kind of God that I have!
The disciples in the boat marvelled at Jesus – they didn’t realise they had this kind of Man in the boat! They were astonished, what kind of Man is this, He’s got so much power – not just women and children but the wind and the waves – they obey Him! He is the Lord of Heaven and earth, the Jesus who still works miracles today – He is the Son of the Living God! And He’s my Jesus! 
What kind of Man is this Jesus? Wherever I go, He’s in the boat! I’d rather be in a ‘storm’ with Jesus, than living in calm and peace without Him. I want you to know this real Jesus in your life.
