    Do you have the Greater Power? | Matthew & Acts (TV Audio #590)

    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 Unbreakable Covenant: Why God’s Blessing Cannot Be Reversed | Slov'yansk, Ukraine (TV Audio #587)

    In Numbers 23.19-20, Balaam was paid by Balak to curse the people of God. But this is what Balaam said, “God is not a man that He should lie, neither a son of man that He should repent (change His mind) – what He said, shall He not do it, and what He has spoken will He not make it happen?!” God cannot lie, He cannot change what He has said. And in the next verse Balaam says, God has blessed, no one can change it! When you have learnt power with God, God will begin to bless your life, your home, your family, your finance, your job – everything about your life! God will bless you. No one can change it, no one can reverse it – your life is under the power and blessing of God! I am living under the power and the blessing of God, I have a covenant relationship with God, God will never change that covenant! What a relationship! It does not depend on your ‘holiness’ – look at David, look at Israel – they went away from God, they sinned against God – but God cannot break His covenant! You have to come to a place in your life when God enters into that covenant with you and says, “I will bless you!” – When you receive that from God, for the rest of your life it will never change – it’s as certain as that! I challenge you to get to a spiritual place with God where the power of God is on your life. You can have that relationship with God, but first you have to have a personal experience with Him! Don’t depend on me – I challenge you – get on your knees, cry out to God, “Oh God I must have Your blessing in my life, I want power with You and a covenant that cannot be broken, so that You will bless my life, my ministry, my family!” You will see miracles in every area. Every time I preach the Gospel I dare to say from the platform, “God will work miracles.” I know. How? I have a covenant relationship with God. If I preach the true Gospel, if I declare the glory of God, God will honour it and work miracles.
