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.)

Prayer, Fire and Elijah - What God can do through you! | (TV Audio #594)

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.

Prayer is a conversation with God | (TV Audio #593)

I know Jesus is alive – I talked to Him this morning! The reality of our relationship with Christ is not in repeating prayers and phrases, it’s in knowing Him. I talk to Him, He talks to me! I expect miracles to happen, it is normal in a true Christian life! I believe they will happen, and they do, as simple as that. I don’t just believe, I know that when I pray for the sick, people will be healed. I just talk to God – miracles and God go together! Simple! – Nothing complicated. – Nothing difficult. If you want a miracle – ask God, He’ll do it, if you believe that He will!

Living in the Day of the Latter Rain | Revival Fire in Joel 2 | TV Audio #592

I have always believed the prophecies in the Bible, Joel 2, God’s Promise of the former and latter rain. I believed that the first outpouring of the Holy Spirit was on that first Pentecost, but that we can and should experience the second Pentecost now. Although I had received my personal Baptism by the Holy Spirit aged 14, I wanted something greater, the promise of Joel 2.  Our God is about to do great things! His power is on the increase. Biblically God’s power cannot become smaller! At a time of national calamity, Joel 2:21&23 says, ‘Rejoice and be glad, for the Lord is about to do great things – in YOUR nation! ... Be glad, rejoice in your God, because He gave you the former rain moderately, and He will give you the latter rain!’ I know Israel well: the former (first) rain is when they plant the seed, the last rain is just before the harvest and it is greater than the first – that’s why I believe we are living in a new Day of Pentecost (harvest) now! When the church was born on the Day of Pentecost, it was born in fire! And before Jesus comes back, we’re going to have another greater baptism in fire!
