There is no substitute for faith in God. History rings the warning bells.Without the knowledge of the Lord God, nothing has ever made sense. The ancients, even the most brilliant thinkers, produced the wildest ideas, superstitions and speculations. Mystery...
Faith is also the eye through which we see the unseen. Physical optics will not enable us to perceive God. He is a Spirit. Mortal eyes are too weak to discern "the invisible God," "the King eternal, immortal, invisible" (Col. 1:15; 1 Tim. 1:17).We have to relate to...
Another fact about faith is that it needs to be matched with action. Belief is not just brain cells in motion. It demands a response.Do we do what we believe? If we believe in a seed, we plant it. A man who owns an airplane but will not risk a trip is a contradictory...
Some people have very odd ideas about faith—so odd that here we need to clarify what, in fact, we are discussing when we talk about faith.Faith is not believing something you know is not true; neither is it believing something for which there is no evidence....
Did you know that when people talk of Christianity as a world religion, they are quite wrong? A religion is a system, and Jesus left no system. It is more than just a faith to be believed. The real thing is actually divine power in action.Christian...
Reinhard Bonnke uses Acts 2 to reveal how the baptism of the Holy Spirit empowers the church. Watch as he refutes bad teachings about the Spirit’s baptism.
Why our call to share the gospel involves more than words and theologyPeople talk about presenting the gospel in a nutshell, but actually it can only be in a person. It is more than a formula for getting to heaven when you die—a few texts from John and Romans...
We’re called to walk in the same miracle-working power as Jesus did. And we will—when we understand the Holy Spirit anointing that’s in us.
The word anointing today has acquired a broad meaning among believers. It is used to denote a general blessing, but we need not be too strict about it—providing that it does not convey a wrong piece of theology. It can speak of a prayer for help, strength, guidance and so forth. When people offer to give us “an anointing” by laying their hands upon us, for example, we need make no great objection.
Scripturally, however, there is no such thing as an anointing, only the anointing—the anointing of the Holy Spirit or baptism with the Spirit. Holy Spirit anointing is fully scriptural.
In the Old Testament all who served God had to be anointed. This is replaced in the New Testament by the Holy Spirit—given for all believers. “Anointing” is just one of the synonyms for the baptism in the Spirit used in Scripture.
Some of God’s people have wishes. Others, like Joshua, have purposes.A whole generation of Israel wished—and died wishing. For them, 40 years of wandering turned the Promised Land into Fantasy Land. For those same 40 years, Joshua nurtured a victory just waiting...
Many believers in the United States think the Holy Spirit's power is an option. Christians in Africa - where miracles are frequent - don't have that attitude.AFRICA SHALL BE SAVED." I heard God's message so clearly. In response my family moved from Lesotho to South...
