Moses is having a conversation with God. Troubled by God's instruction to go to Egypt, Moses asks, ‘What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you’?’ God then performs three signs to confirm His word. Sometimes God has to use these physical, demonstrative signs to convince us and to show others that He is God.  Often, I find that people read the Old Testame...

Prayer is a conversation with God. Talk to Him, ask God for what you need. And listen for His response. When I pray, I get the answer in the pages of the Bible. After all, it is God's Word to you and me. And sometimes, I sense a knowing in my spirit. In our daily lives we need to talk to each other. If there is no communication, there is no meaningful relationship. It is the same in our relationsh...

Abraham was called the friend of God! Oh, that this might be said about us! “You see,” James says in 2v24, “by works a man’s faith is demonstrated, and not by faith alone.” Faith HAS to be followed by fact. “For,” v26 “as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is DEAD also.” The ‘works’ are the very spirit that give LIFE to the body of ‘faith’.

Thank you for your support both in prayer and giving during this challenging time. I praise God for you, without whom our evangelism would not be possible! We are living through a very difficult period, and I am deeply conscious of the many problems facing us all. My heart and my prayers are with you. Let us keep on praying in Faith that God will answer – prayer changes things – and changes us. Pa...

Throughout the Old Testament we read such incredible miracles. In this series of episodes, David has been preaching on Elijah from 1 Kings 17-18. But Elijah didn't work these miracles. It wasn't Elijah who fed the widow woman or raised her son from the dead. And it certainly wasn't Elijah who caused fire to fall from heaven. God did these miracles. It's God's Hand, His power. Just as the Scripture...

Do you want to see revival? All God needs is one man or woman who can pray like Elijah. We need to be more like Elijah. We have a prayer-answering God, but do we really believe Him? Do we believe the power of God? Well, if we do, then we must act. Faith is where your feet go, faith is what you do. But you can only be like that if you know God. Elijah called down fire from Heaven, and it consumed t...

Jesus says to you today, "Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Let Me teach you, and you will find rest for your souls." So many people have 'secret' problems, burdens you cannot share. They are too deep, too hurtful, you cannot open up. Talk to Jesus, He's listening. Whatever disturbs you, whatever the frustration, keep talking to Jesus. He will comfort and restor...

How do I receive answers to my prayers? In my relationship with the Lord, prayer is a conversation. Prayer has to be more than just one-sided dialogue, it has to be a two-way communication to be real effective prayer. Most of you know my testimony, the two times I had cancer – 1964 when it was throat cancer, and 2002/3 when it was lung cancer – on both occasions when I was asking the Lord for a mi...

There is Resurrection Power available to those who believe. In 1 Kings 17, we read the story of how the widow, who was caring for Elijah, was struck by an unspeakable tragedy. In verses 17-23, her son dies, but miraculously, in answer to prayer, God resurrects the boy. We see similar miracles in the ministry of Jesus where he heals a 12 year old girl in Mark chapter 5. And also in Luke 7, Jesus wa...

Some of the biggest miracles in the Bible occurred in the Old Testament; we recognise the blind seeing, the lame walking, the deaf hearing in the New Testament, but when we read what happened on the Old Testament, it was phenomenal: the deliverance of Israel from Egypt and the conquest of the Promised Land, but in this message I want to look at 1 Kings 17 & 18. In 1 Kings 17, the prophet Elijah sp...

The Holy Spirit is powerful within you! You can work miracles! You will see the signs and wonders promised by Jesus! But we have got to be like the early disciples and experience a personal Pentecost. We need to break out from every restriction. It was this Holy Ghost empowerment which enabled me to believe to be delivered from that communist prison. It gave me the confidence to believe for my hea...

The life we live, we live by faith. In 2003 when I had lung cancer, I had no treatment, and was healed by a miracle. When I had throat cancer in 1964, I was pastor of a church which, under my ministry had seen tremendous miracles. We still have the newspaper reports of the blind seeing, cripples walking – this was in the local newspaper! My congregation really challenged me saying, “It’s all very...

Faith must result in some action! James says, without accompanying action, without 'works', faith alone is dead, (2.17). When I was a young pastor, God called me with a tremendous challenge, I think it was after a Sunday service. He said to me, "Stop talking, I'm tired of listening to you. Go out and do all the things you are talking about! And don't come back until you've done it!" The Holy Spiri...

Jesus said that the same works He did, we should do and greater! For those who don’t believe this applies to us today, let me challenge you: at least do what Jesus did! But I am believing for the greater works! In Acts 3, Peter and John healed the lame man at the gate of the Temple. What I want you to understand is, previously Jesus worked the miracles, but now it was the disciples working miracle...

There is great Power in Prayer, but we must ask in faith, without wavering. Scripture teaches, “If any lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally – without criticising! But ask in faith, without wavering – because he who wavers is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed with the wind.” Faith has to come with some element of stability, just as God is stable, and we’re asking,...

The Holy Spirit is Powerful within you. Through Him, you can work miracles! But we must be like the early Church and have a Pentecost experience. We must have a Baptism of Fire. Be bold in your faith; believe for the impossible; put your trust in the Name of Jesus. In Acts 2, the disciples were filled with the Spirit. In chapter 3, we read that faith in the Name of Jesus healed the lame man. And i...

The Name of Jesus is so Powerful – His NAME conveys all the majesty and glory of God! Today, if you talk about someone remarkable – an actor, a scientist, a politician, a leader – they have a NAME – and they are known, by name, for what they do. That person has a name as an explorer, as an athlete… You can name tennis players, swimmers, rugby players – you know the specific thing they do by their...

When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, the evidence will be God working through you! The Apostle Peter says in Acts 2, ‘Jesus of Nazareth, was a man approved by God to you by miracles, signs and wonders, which God did among you through Him.’ God will work signs and wonders through you. It won't be you working the miracles. It is God through you!

God wants you to be filled with the fire and the Power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said in Acts 1:5, "For John baptised with water, but in a few days you will be baptised with the Holy Spirit.’ And then in verse 8, He said, "You will receive power, when the Holy Spirit comes on you. And you will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth." Too many people read the Bible, say they believe it, but then...

I know that many of you are experiencing difficulties, firstly Covid and delays receiving medical care, now the cost of living, and the disruption to transport – so many things. We, like you, are compelled to depend on Scripture for help in time of trouble. As fulfilment of God’s strategic plan in the vision which He gave me for Europe many years ago, the main mission is ahead of me – the best is...

I am fascinated by the Roman centurion who came to Jesus saying, "My servant is sick." The immediate response of Jesus was, "I will come to your house." But the centurion says, "No, You don't need to come to my house. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he come...

When I pray, whatever I'm praying about – whether I’m praying for health, whether I’m praying over problems, anything – I always pray in the Name of Jesus. Just as Jesus said in John 14:13, “Whatsoever you ask the Father in My Name, that will I do!” My prayer and my requests are in the Name of Jesus! I bring every request in the Name of Jesus: “Father, I’m asking You in Jesus’ Name…”

'Whatsoever you ask in Jesus Name, that He will do, so that the Father might be glorified in the Son.' That’s powerful! In Philippians Paul is saying, God has given Jesus a NAME ABOVE ALL OTHER NAMES – because of His obedience to His Father, because He came and humbled Himself, and was obedient even unto death – in order to fulfil God’s purpose. And, because Jesus was sent to fulfil the purpose of...

Faith in the Name of Jesus will heal every sickness. Peter says in Acts 3, after the lame man was healed at the Temple, "By faith in the Name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ Name and the faith that comes through Him that has completely healed him, as you can all see. It’s absolutely clear – the healing came IN THE NAME OF JESUS and THROUGH FAITH IN THAT NAME....

I want to show you the Authority and the Power that is in the Name of Jesus! People ask me how is it that I see so many miracles, so many healings? My life has been truly remarkable, partly because of the length of time that I have been in ministry, and the intensity. Very few people have seen the miracles that I have seen and experienced, and I believe there is a strong Scriptural reason for this...
