The Lord has not called us to support a hopeless cause. We are not fighting a losing battle. We are not using a broom to sweep back the tides of evil. God is turning the tides and we are working with Him. In Him it will be done. It once looked hopeless. Jesus Himself said that the broad road to destruction was crowded with passengers but few people found the narrow road to life. Jesus came to change all that. Today millions are passing...

People have the audacity to ask, “What has God done for me?” What a ridiculous question – God has done everything. For a start, he gave his life for us. We exist by his care; our every breath is a sign of just that. God is perfect and cannot forget us. He esteems us beyond price. He made us for love, for Himself, and that is why he came to save us. He wrote the contract of our redemption with a pen dipped in the blood of his own Son....

We know nothing about God other than what He shows us about Himself. Only God can reveal God. What is absolutely vital is to know the form in which God has revealed Himself to us – as the God of deliverance, salvation and redemption. That is the supreme knowledge about God granted to us on earth. It is perhaps not all He is. He has glories that are veiled to us on earth. His greatness is infinite. What else he may be to others, celestial...

The baptism in the Spirit brings permanent power but not a permanent feeling of power. We don’t measure power by feelings, or by what we see. Wires, which are able to carry 110,000 volts, look exactly the same whether they are carrying current or not. Similarly, we cannot judge our own muscular power by feelings, but only by experiment. Strong men don’t feel their strength. They cannot sit down and enjoy strength at the fireside....

The Syrian army heard sounds of a great host coming to rescue Samaria, and they fled in panic and left all their stores behind (2Kings7).  The Word of the Lord had performed this.  It was no coincidence.  WHEN GOD SPEAKS IT IS AN EVENT WHICH SETS HISTORY IN MOTION.  It is no use ignoring it, or we do so at our cost.  We may as well drive a car down the Motorway and ignore the announcement of ´road closed´ for road works.  The Gospel...

  CfaN-Gospel Crusade/Ikare-Akoko, Nigeria Revelation independent of Scripture is the way of the false prophet. People claim that God has spoken to them in their mind. He can, and does, but not just at our beck and call on demand. This claim of mystical and subjective guidance and knowledge has worked havoc all the way through history, and was the worry of apostles all the way through the New Testament. It is the way in which Islam,...

Anni and Reinhard Bonnke (April 19, 2010) Believing is not just brain cells in motion. There should be a response. Do we do what we believe? If we believe in seed, we plant it. A man who owns a plane, but will not risk a trip in it, is a contrary character. It will get him exactly nowhere. James, the half-brother of Jesus, an upright and forthright character, in his short book made some hard-hitting remarks. You believe that there is one...

Without bold pushiness David would have stayed with his sheep.Yet his “go” stemmed from his profound assurance in God. His “go” and his faith were potent. We are not told how David acquired his assured faith in God but it was motivating power, feeding his own natural disposition. Without faith what he did would have been blind presumption. That explains so much of David’s story. Courage and trust are the two feet of those that...

The Message of the Cross The sign of the cross is the most powerful symbol in the world. The death of Christ is the pivot of time, the Rock that never rocks, standing in the sea of history, with the waves beating against it but never moving it. No technology can take its place. It is our sole but abiding hope. Christ died for us. That event was a cosmic explosion of love and goodness, shattering the rock-solid walls and iron gates of every...

The Church is an extension of the compassion of the Lord Jesus, an extension of His comfort, His healing, and His goodness. “Jesus of Nazareth … went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil” (Acts 10:38). That is what we should be doing! � The Church is His body, we are told (Colossians 1:18). God has no other arms but ours with which to embrace this pitiable world. Love is His supreme characteristic. I feel...
