Jesus spoke more about the Coming Kingdom than He did about salvation. Salvation is the way in, but the main thing He was talking about was the Kingdom! The Bible describes it as our Inheritance! We inherit the Kingdom with Christ. In many of the parables which Jesus told, He was trying to describe something that is mysterious, unknown – but yet it is a Kingdom that we are to be part of. He said,...

Revival and Persecution often come hand-in-hand. The greater the persecution, the greater responsibility we have, to go everywhere and preach the Word. We must do, as Jesus said, "Go out, into the highways, and byways, and compel them to come in!" We have to fill the Kingdom! Look at Ukraine. They are now, under intense persecution. Threatened and dying. Yet, the Gospel is preached. Many are praye...

If you want your faith to grow, you’ve got to nurture it, practice it, act on it - and then it will grow! That’s what has happened in my life. How did I have the boldness in the prison to pray, "Lord, 2000 years ago when Paul and Silas were in prison, You worked a miracle, broke down the prison walls and set them free. If You could do it for them, You can do it for me, get me out!"?!! I prayed lik...

How do we grow our faith? - This is such an important question. How do you grow anything? By feeding it and practising it. I’m hopeless at cooking; but how do you become a good cook, a chef? It’s by putting into practice what you have learnt. No, not everybody will make a good cook, but we can all learn the basics! I know how to turn an oven on, and use the microwave; but if you want to be a good...

In Ukraine, prayer continues, often in Church basements, and the people are desperate for Bibles. Our staff, have formed a team called, 'Angels of Kyiv’, to organise, and undertake, high-risk evacuations, and the purchase of urgently, needed supplies. In just one day, our team evacuated, hundreds of people, from the horrific fighting in Irpin. We are feeding these evacuees, providing shelter, and...

Do you want the Fire of God? It will only come as you present your body as a living sacrifice. In Romans 12:1, Paul writes, "Brethren, I beseech you that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service." There is a call to us to become a part of a sacrifice, to make a sacrifice of our lives, in order that the Fire will come. So many people a...

Seeing the problems in the world today, I want to look at what happened in those famous verses, so often linked with revival, when Solomon had finished building the Temple. 2 Chronicles 5:13-14 tells us, when the musicians were as one, praising and thanking the Lord, and saying, “He is good and His mercy endures forever,” – the House was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not stand to...

Our hope is in Christ! Only He can bring peace to Ukraine. Despite the war, the churches are still active. Ministering to hurting people. Distributing Bibles. Administering humanitarian aid. The war has caused so much damage to infrastructure, but an even greater damage to people's souls. Families are separated. Women and children are fleeing to neighbouring nations. Many are trapped in cities, bo...

Until Christ comes back, we have the Holy Spirit: He is our Comforter, our Helper, our Intercessor. And He also empowers us! When I’m asking for the Holy Spirit – and I’m always asking for more of Him in my life – I say, “Jesus, You said when You went to Heaven, You would ask the Father and He would send the Holy Spirit. I’m calling upon You Jesus now, to send a double portion of the Holy Spirit o...

Jesus ever lives to make intercession for us! With His bodily wounds and scars, He stands before the Father and pleads on our behalf. I want you to really understand this reality: Intercession is made in Heaven for us – by Jesus! HE is the One who intercedes for us!  Who better to pray for you and me than Jesus?! And Jesus will come back for us. We are not abandoned here on earth, we have a heaven...

What is happening now, in the very words of Jesus, are the signs and the evidence of the times immediately before His Return. God knows what is happening here on earth. He is not distant or remote. The only lasting peace will be when Jesus returns. When we look at the horror of war, it is easy to give into despair. But, JESUS IS COMING BACK! And I believe this must be very soon. I want to tell Chr...

The promise of Jesus is that He will return! Acts 1v11, two angels say, “Why are you gazing up into Heaven? This same Jesus that you have seen go up will return, in the same manner as you have seen Him go.” So, when Jesus leaves, the promise is – THIS SAME JESUS IS COMING AGAIN. From the beginning to the end, the emphasis is on the Person of Jesus! Who was, and is, and is to come.  

We are living in one of the most difficult, testing, periods for the Church. And what we desperately need is revival! This word ‘revival’ occurs in the King James Version about seven times. In Psalm 13:3 David says in effect, ‘O Lord my God, revive ME or I DIE!’ I echo those words sometimes, ‘Unless YOU revive me, and quicken me with Your Power – I DIE!’ And in Psalm 138:7, and in Habakkuk 3:2, ‘r...

In our worship and in our living, we have to be fulfilling the prophecy of Scripture! Peter said in Acts 2, quoting Joel, that God would pour out His Spirit on all flesh! We need to see this outpouring of God on all flesh! And that must come with signs and wonders – your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. At my age, 89, I’m not old, I’m still...

After the Holy Spirit fell on the Day of Pentecost, in Acts 2:14-21 Peter stood up and spoke to the multitudes, "These people are not drunk, but this is the fulfilment of Joel's prophecy where God says: it shall come to pass in the last days, I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh… And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." This was the beginning...

Right from the beginning of the ministry of Jesus, He was talking about the coming Kingdom of God! In John 3, where Nicodemus, a leader of the Pharisees, comes to Jesus by night, saying, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God, because no man can do these miracles that You do, except God be with him.” - Firstly I want to say, the miraculous was the evidence that God was with Jesus. Se...

Jesus came to preach the Good News of the coming Kingdom. In John 3, where Nicodemus, a leader of the Pharisees, comes to Jesus by night, saying, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God, because no man can do these miracles that You do, except God be with him." Do you understand what Nicodemus said? The miracles were the evidence that God was with Jesus. But Jesus replies very simply,...

There is a generation, according to the prophecies of Jesus, that will not pass away until it sees the fulfilment of the return of Christ. I believe the things which you and I are seeing and experiencing, are the signs that the age in which we live, is the age immediately before the Return of Christ. And because I want to be, and expect to be, part of Christ’s Kingdom, I’m not afraid of what I see...

We are living in the Last Days. In Luke 21, the disciples are asking Jesus what are the signs of the Last Days. In verses 9-10, Jesus says, “When you hear of wars and commotions, don’t be terrified, for these things must first come to pass, but the end is not yet... Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom...” This touches on the situation we have at the moment. We are living in a...

Ask God for the gift of faith to believe that – with Him – nothing is impossible. I’m trying to push the bounds of faith further and further out! When I’ve believed for something in the past, I want to believe for something bigger and better in the future! Because God says, in the Last Days He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh! We’re living in the Last Days. Expect the outpouring of the Holy S...

We are living in the age when God is going to fulfil every single promise! That’s why I’m not looking at the negative, I’m looking at the positive. We’re living in a time, a generation, and an age, when God is going to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh, and the whole earth will be filled with the Glory of God!

God is going to restore what the enemy has stolen! Many of you have suffered sickness, heartache, and distress, and yet God says, “I will restore to you the years the locust has eaten!” Jesus Himself assured that if you willingly let your life go, you will save it. Joel 2.26 encourages, “You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the Name of the Lord your God who has dealt wondrously wit...

Don’t look at the past; but look to the future! People are amazed at the energy and strength that I have at my age, 89! But I’m not looking at the past. I’m looking at the future, and to the greater things, the greater miracles God is going to do! I want to encourage you with this. Look forward to what God is going to do! I want to build up your faith in the Power of God! 'Be glad and rejoice: for...

Our God is a healer! I know He still works miracles. My life is the evidence! Many of you know my story of lung cancer, 2002/3. I said to the Lord, “I cannot go back into Russia and preach this Gospel from this Book if I have had chemotherapy or my lung removed, because I have to be the witness of Your Power!” That’s why God healed me! I was 70, coming up for 71, at the time, now I'm nearly 90! I...

We serve a God of miracles! Jesus EXPECTED the miraculous to continue AFTER His death, and beyond the ‘Biblical’ period. I often say there is one unfinished book in the Bible – yes, I know there are still a lot of unfulfilled prophecies – but the book that is not yet finished is the Acts of the Apostles. This book is simply the record of what the Apostles and His Followers did after Jesus had gone...
