A glory to be revealed, Part 2

Friday Dec 17, 2021
God has NOT forgotten His Promise to you. He will deliver you! I’ve had cancer twice, both times God healed me! I’ve been in prison – God has delivered me. Whatever I do, God will always deliver me. All those years, working under communism, God delivered me. And that promise is yours! God is saying to you today, I have come to deliver you! Take it by faith and God will bless you!

Ministry of Fire and Power! Part 4
Friday Dec 10, 2021
Friday Dec 10, 2021
Don't let the Fire of God in your life burn out! Rather, stir up the flame. I love the command to the priest in Leviticus 6:13 that they mustn't let the fire go out! The Fire of God, the relationship we have with God, must NOT change! The Fire must NOT go out! The responsibility is on us. When we receive the Baptism of Fire how long will it last? A few hours, a few days, a few months – and die out? The Fire must NEVER go out!

“I have seen the affliction of My people which are in Egypt, I have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, I know their sorrows – and I am come down to deliver!” I love that! God is not remote, He’s not distant! God is omnipresent, He’s everywhere, and, as David said, you can’t escape from God! The very Name of Jesus means, ‘GOD SAVES’! He is Emmanuel, God with us!

Ministry of Fire and Power! Part 2

Friday Dec 03, 2021
One of the devil’s strongest, most powerful weapons against us is, not stopping us, but distracting us – until we divert our energy and attention to something that God never intended. It can occur in our families, in business, in so many spheres... I had to become aware of this danger, very much so in the early years of my ministry. Proverbs 4 urges, 'Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.'

Get a vision and fulfil it! Part 3
Monday Nov 22, 2021
Monday Nov 22, 2021
We need a vision of Jesus! A vision of His Power, His Glory – of who He really is. If only we could glimpse His unlimited Power, His tremendous Glory, we would fall on our knees in wonder and awe before Him. But we also need a vision of our own selves: the Apostle Paul taught that before taking communion we should ‘examine ourselves’. When you examine yourself and see what you are capable of through Christ, and have a vision of what we can do, not alone, but with God – you’ll declare with the Apostle Paul, ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!’

There is a connection between a vision and prophecy, but there is also a crucial difference. Vision is something you receive, but not every vision is necessarily from God – people can have some very strange visions... In a God-given vision, you see something, almost like a picture. Whereas prophecy is an anointing, a gift from the Holy Spirit, foretelling what will happen in the future, SPEAKING out what God is revealing…

Revive us again, Part 2
Monday Nov 08, 2021
Monday Nov 08, 2021
Some Christian groups are reluctant to recognise Pentecost and its importance to us today. The significant sign of the arrival of the Holy Spirit was and is speaking in tongues – and a very strong move of evangelism.

Revive us again, Part 1
Friday Nov 05, 2021
Friday Nov 05, 2021
What we need to see at this present time is a revival or spiritual awakening in the Church. I’ve been searching my Bible for the word ‘revival’ – in the King James Version it appears only seven times, and is the English translation of at least three different words in the original Scripture, depending on the context. Our English word ‘revival’ comes from the French, meaning to live again, to bring back to life, to revive something! You can revive things that look to be dead. You can revive plants, you can revive people that have collapsed. You can revive things that appear dead, but not yet totally dead…

Have Faith in God, Part 4
Monday Nov 01, 2021
Monday Nov 01, 2021
“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much”! ‘Effectual fervent’ means this is very powerful prayer. The Greek word used for powerful is ‘dunamis’. We use this word in English for a dynamo (to generate electricity, to generate power, to run your home, your car); and for dynamite (a very unusual explosive which doesn’t waste its energy on the open air, but pushes the wall down, breaks open the rock face). So when we’re talking about prayer, your prayer must not be wasted on the air, but like dynamite, it must be dynamic enough to move the mountain out of the way!

We are the Glory of God on earth
Monday Oct 18, 2021
Monday Oct 18, 2021
ALL the earth will see the Glory of God – in us who have believed – WE are to be the Glory of God! We are the witness, we are the evidence! Come on! You and I have to cross that Jordan, you and I must not look at the difficulties, we must go in faith. Look, the problems exist, I don’t deny the problems, God doesn’t deny the problems. But as Joshua and Caleb believed, it doesn’t matter how big the problem, how great the armies are – they have no power over you – God will always give the victory! Come on, rise up in the Name of the Lord!

Your Christian experience is alive through faith

Whether through sickness, trial, or persecution - whatever is happening in your life – through it all we have to realise that holding onto God by faith is the only way into the Kingdom!

The Reward of Faith
Monday Sep 20, 2021
Monday Sep 20, 2021
Faith is more valuable than gold! Even gold can perish and wear out, but faith, when it’s tested through fire, won’t fail. Faith that has been through the test will be found to praise and honour and glory when Christ comes back! When Christ comes, our reward, our witness and our testimony, is that we possess a faith that doesn’t fail! A faith that doesn’t give in, that doesn’t buckle under pressure. We need a faith that doesn’t bend, a faith that is constant and reliable – even when it goes through the ultimate test!

Approved through faith
Friday Sep 17, 2021
Friday Sep 17, 2021
Without faith it is impossible to please God! I have discovered that if I want to please God, I have to let my faith loose, I’ve got to go out and DO the things which God has called me to do. That’s what pleases God! If you want to please Him, go out in faith and to do the impossible! But thank God we don't do these things alone. Hebrews 12 tells us that we are surrounded by a great crowd of witnesses to this life of faith, so run with endurance the race God has set before us.

By faith we see a coming Kingdom
Monday Sep 06, 2021
Monday Sep 06, 2021
Our Faith is in the coming Kingdom of Christ. We make sacrifices now, knowing that what we deny here on earth, we shall receive in the Kingdom! It is this belief in the Kingdom of God which drives me. The older I get and the nearer I get to the Kingdom, the more my faith drives me forward. I’m not looking at the past, I’m looking at the future. We share the testimony of Moses in Hebrews 11, ‘It was by faith that Moses, when he grew up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He chose to share the oppression of God’s people instead of enjoying the fleeting pleasures of sin. He thought it was better to suffer for the sake of Christ than to own the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his great reward.’

Put your confidence in God

I want to encourage you to seek the Lord in a new way. I know we are going through difficult times. Throughout my life I’ve been through difficult times. But through it all God has always made a way of escape, that’s His Promise, 1 Corinthians 10:13. In your greatest difficulties, God makes a way through. We’ve not been called to live a life of comfort and luxury, but we are called to ‘live a life’! In Psalm 37 David is urging a confidence in God. This is what I want you to have – confidence. God is in control and will give you the desires of your heart if you will commit your way to Him.

Your steps are ordered by the Lord, Psalm 37 (Part 2)
Monday Aug 02, 2021
Monday Aug 02, 2021
When your delight is in the Lord, when your pleasure is in the relationship you have with Him, He will give you the desires of your heart. When you love somebody, you ‘delight’ in them, you are happy with them. If your relationship with the Lord is like that, then, Scripture says, He will give you the desires of your heart. Many times when I’m praying, I’m asking for things which are not just my needs, but which are also the desire of my heart… I’ve always from my youth desired to be an evangelist. I never dreamt my ministry would be as amazing as it is. My dream was just to do it. To get on with the job. But it was my dream – it was a delight, and my delight was in the Lord! And God has given me far more than I could ask!
