David Hathaway

I believe that what we are about to see is an even GREATER revelation of God's Power on earth than anything in the past. God’s Power doesn’t diminish just because there’s sin and wickedness in the world. God doesn’t change! God still loves the sinner. He still wants to redeem the earth. That’s why, in the near future, Jesus Christ is coming back – to fulfil every Promise, every Vision!

Looking back over more than 70 years of ministry, seeing the difficult times I’ve been through – God has never failed me! There have been ups and there have been downs in my life, but as the Bible says, "The Lord answered me!" Sometimes in our lives we need the patience to wait for the fulfilment of God’s Promises.

David has recently returned from Armenia where he was able to meet and teach senior pastors from Armenia and Georgia. This is critical as we are planning major evangelism in both countries. Both countries have recently experienced war, Armenia only two years ago. Both are desperate for God’s help and are open for evangelism. Thank you for continuing to support our humanitarian and spiritual relief...

Sometimes it appears God is not answering us. When I was in the prison, 1972-3, I prayed and I prayed. It seemed God didn’t answer. I remember the morning, alone in my cell when I said, “O Lord, I can’t pray anymore. The Heavens are like brass, shut up against me. You don’t answer me!” But in my desperation that day, God DID suddenly answer! Habakkuk begins in Chapter 1:2 saying, “O Lord, how long...

We need to bring back into the Church a sense of sanctification, of consecration, in anticipation that God is going to answer and move… God will move within the Church, when the Church is obedient to His Word. The Israelites had to be obedient to the commands of God. Joshua was prophesying, sanctify yourselves, because when the priests stand in the water with the Ark, the water will dry up! God wi...

David Hathaway's ministry in Ukraine continues to provide humanitarian and spiritual relief to the displaced, and those who have lived under Russian occupation. Daily we distribute bread, water, sanitary items, medicines and other basic supplies. In addition, our staff provide spiritual and emotional support to people broken-down by war and destruction. Weekly we broadcast the Gospel in both the U...

“Sanctify yourselves, because tomorrow God will do wonders among you.... Hereby you will know that the Lord God is among you and He will not fail to drive out before you all the inhabitants of the Land, behold the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord is passing over before you into Jordan.” (Joshua 3.) For Moses, the greatest miracle was the crossing of the Red Sea – (and the whole might of the Egyptia...

I’m very moved by Joshua Chapter 1, where God is speaking to Joshua after the death of Moses, saying, “Now therefore, go over this Jordan with the people and enter the Land I have promised you, as I said to Moses… Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid. No man will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you or fo...

There are times when we go through despair, as individuals and as nations. This was the experience of the prophet Habakkuk, and of Israel. Habakkuk begins in Chapter 1 verse 2, saying, "O Lord, how long shall I cry, and You will not hear?!" But we need to be patient as we wait for the fulfillment of God's promises.   

Jesus could do no mighty works because of their unbelief. Mark 6 reveals a very similar situation to the unbelief in Mark 9, only here, Jesus Himself could do no mighty work, save that He laid His Hands on a few sick folk and healed them, and He marvelled at their unbelief. I’m quite amazed, because in this case, it’s Jesus who could not do the mighty works – because the people in His hometown did...

Jesus says in Mark 9, “If you can believe – EVERYTHING is possible!” This is incredible, tremendous. EVERYTHING! ALL things are possible to him who believes! This is a tremendous challenge to the Church! It’s not just a challenge to the boy’s father, it’s now a challenge to the disciples themselves, who are there, listening in to the conversation! I want to challenge Christians today – everyone wh...

God is your Father! Many people know God as their Saviour, which is important. Others recognise God as Sovereign and Omnipotent, which He is. But when you know God as a Father, your relationship with him becomes more personal. Jesus said in Matthew 6.6, 'When you pray, go into your room, and pray to your Father.' In Verse 8, Jesus said, 'Your Father knows what you need, before you ask Him.' Then f...

Jesus says, “If you can believe ALL things are possible to him that believes!” I find this a fascinating and remarkable way in which Jesus is speaking. Quite honestly, it’s a challenge to the Church. It was a challenge to the disciples. But at this point in the story of Mark 9, the challenge was to an unbelieving father who had seen the failure of the disciples! Yet Jesus still said to him, “If yo...

"I know Jesus is alive because I talked to Him this morning!" That’s the reality of the resurrection and our salvation. We’ve got to get away from the symbolism and ceremonial, and come back to the reality that Jesus rose from the dead, and we who believe in Him, have died to self, we’re born again in Him – and we will rise with Him! Do you understand the importance of resurrection? We worship a l...

God's light shines in the darkness. Thank you for your fantastic response to our appeal for Ukraine. Our staff and their families are safe, and our office is undamaged! Even Sergiy, our TV Director, whose family live in Mariupol, have survived the siege and are now on their difficult way to safety. Vadim, our Official Representative in Ukraine, is very active in organising and supplying humanitari...

I want to deal with a portion of Scripture that many people find difficult, and it’s in Mark 9. The reading starts with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration with His three closest disciples, Peter, James and John. Moses and Elijah appear – it was an incredibly powerful experience, but as they come down the mountain, Jesus tells the disciples, “Do not tell what you have seen, until the Son of Man...

On Good Friday we commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus; but to me, the most important thing is, Jesus rose again! Because He lives, we can live also. For me, this Easter is a special celebration, and is particularly poignant, because Easter Sunday is my birthday - and 49 years ago, God released me from a communist prison in answer to prayer. So this Easter is not just a celebration of new life in...

We all need to feel loved, yet many live in rejection and loneliness. David has three daughters. When they were young, they would come running up to him with their arms outstretched, and he would lift them up and embrace them. Our relationship with God is the same. As you draw near to him, He will draw near to you. We all need to be touched,  to be loved, to know that someone cares just for us. So...

When Paul preached Jesus and the resurrection, it was regarded as strange… In disputing with the Jews and Greeks, the contentious issue was the resurrection. As Christians, are we confident in our own belief in the reality and certainty of the resurrection? The Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians, 'It is the same way with the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground...

We’re living in a very difficult time, and I feel led to go back again to the Acts of the Apostles. In Acts 16:25, we find God has released Paul and Silas from prison by a miracle. They then, in Acts 17, continue their missionary journey and come to Thessalonica, where Paul begins discussing and debating with the Jews in the synagogue. He’s preaching Christ, who suffered, died – and rose from the...

God is in control! Psalm 23 says, 'The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures... Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me...' The 'valley of the shadow' is more literally translated as, where the light of the sun is cut off. I want to tell you: wherever you are, whatever your trial, no matter th...

The Coming of the Lord is near. I believe there is limited time left in which we can evangelise. When the Holy Spirit is taken out of the way, how can we evangelise? In the words of Jesus, it is the Holy Spirit who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness and the coming judgement. The Holy Spirit is the ONLY Power and the ONLY influence that can convict the world of sin and righteousness and ju...

There is no question that the power of the devil is increasing and multiplying, this demonic iniquity of the 'man of sin' is at work – “only, He who now hinders, will hinder until He be taken out of the way.” It seems to me that it is the Holy Spirit who is holding up that floodtide of evil, and that one day, He, the Holy Spirit, will be removed – and then the man of sin will be revealed (2 Thessa...

We all experience the waters of affliction. In your life and mine, there are many times when we need the power of God to deliver. God’s timing is perfect, coming at the darkest hour, when the storm is at its fiercest, and our need is the greatest. Jesus said, "I will be with you always." Every day, every hour, in the middle of every storm, in the middle of every sickness. There’s never a moment wh...

The Coming of the Lord will be as a thief in the night. The Apostle Paul wrote, 'Of the times and the seasons you have no need that I write to you, for you know that the Day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night. For when they say ‘Peace and safety’, sudden destruction shall come on them, as travail on a woman with child, and they shall not escape.'' So the final moment of the return of Christ...
