Descripción

I’m seeing the Bible quite differently these days – it’s coming into a new perspective and I’m seeing things even at my age that I’ve never seen before. I’m seeing something in Matthew, that is so significant for the Church today. It’s challenging me, and I hope it challenges you, to examine exactly what we actually believe – and do! In Matt 3.11 we find John the Baptist preaching repentance in the wilderness. It’s the beginning of his ministry. He says to the crowds, 3.11, “I baptise you with water for repentance, but He that is coming after me is more powerful than I… He will baptise you with the Holy Ghost and Fire!” Then in Matt 3.13ff, Jesus comes from Galilee to be baptised in the Jordan by John. As He comes up out of the water, the Holy Spirit comes down on Him and a Voice from Heaven announces, “This is My Beloved Son.”  But Jesus does not commence His ministry straightaway; it struck me that, at this point, John is still the minister, the evangelist, not Jesus, and Jesus is led by the Spirit out into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Matt 4.1.  But then, by 4.12, Jesus hears that John has been put in prison, his ministry is ended, his work done. Jesus recognises this, leaves Nazareth where He grew up and moves to Capernaum by the Sea of Galilee, so that prophecy would be fulfilled that ‘the people by the sea that were in darkness have seen a great light’. And immediately, 4.17, Jesus starts His ministry and begins to preach – in POWER. I’m intrigued by this by this whole sequence from John to Jesus!

The Way to Revival and the Power of God | (TV Audio #598)

Our God is about to do great things! Biblically, God’s power never diminishes – for those of us seeking Him, it’s as if His power actually increases, as we seek Him more and more.  In a time of national calamity, Joel 2.21, 23 declares: “Do not be afraid, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the Lord has done great things... Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for He has given you the autumn rains because He is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.” Having spent many years traveling in Israel, I understand the significance of these rains. The former rain comes when the seed is planted; the latter rain arrives just before the harvest and is greater than the first. That is why I believe we are living in a new Day of Pentecost – a time of harvest. The Church was born on the Day of Pentecost in fire, and before Jesus returns, I believe we will experience an even greater baptism of fire and power.

The Way of the Cross and the Way of Greatness | Lessons from Mark 10.23-45 (TV Audio #596)

In Mark 10.23–31, Jesus teaches that wealth, status, and personal achievements cannot secure salvation. Using the illustration of a camel passing through the eye of a needle, He shows that entering God's Kingdom is impossible through human effort alone. When the disciples ask, "Who then can be saved?" Jesus answers with hope: "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." This passage reminds us that salvation comes through humility, faith, and complete dependence upon God. Like Peter and the disciples, we are called to leave everything behind to follow Christ, trusting that any sacrifice made for the Gospel will be rewarded both now and in eternity. Jesus then reveals that the way of salvation is through His coming death and resurrection, yet the disciples still seek positions of honour. In contrast, blind Bartimaeus approaches Jesus with humility and receives mercy. The message is clear: greatness in God's Kingdom belongs not to those seeking status, but to those who faithfully serve, suffer, and follow Christ.

Holy Ghost Empowerment: The Fire That Changes Everything | Lessons from Acts 8 (TV Audio #595)

'On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. Godly men buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him. But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off both men and women and put them in prison. 'Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went. Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah there. When the crowds heard Philip and saw the signs he performed, they all paid close attention to what he said. For with shrieks, impure spirits came out of many, and many who were paralysed or lame were healed. So there was great joy in that city. 'When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to Samaria. When they arrived, they prayed for the new believers there that they might receive the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit had not yet come on any of them; they had simply been baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit,' (Acts 8.1-8, 14-17). I want to highlight verses 14-17. When the Apostles heard that the people in Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John; they prayed with the new converts so that they would receive the Holy Spirit. - We have the same issue today, how many are converted and baptised in water, yet have not received the Holy Spirit. Jesus emphasised in Acts 1.8, 'Wait in Jerusalem until you have received the Holy Spirit.' It is the Holy Spirit who empowers the life of the believer; He brings revelation and understanding of the Word of God. All my life, I have wanted the same Holy Ghost empowerment that the early apostles had, I want a baptism of Fire, so that I can see the signs and wonders which Jesus commission us to do. But once we have received the Holy Spirit, the instruction of God is to not let the Fire go out! (Leviticus 6.)
