Based on the Book of James, chapter 4, we are encouraged to ask God to supply our needs, but we need to ask with the right motive.

The reason you don't receive is because you don't ask God. You know, it – it's very interesting because in my life, I've always tended to take counsel from God and ask Him. I didn't ask my mother or my father – you may find that strange, but I didn't – and I didn't ask my brother. I'm ...

Based on the Book of James, chapter 4, we are encouraged to ask God to supply our needs and not to be jealous of what others have.

There is a battle going on: good against evil. Do we do this, or do we do that? It's a battle that sometimes, in our choosing, in our choice, has to be fought on a regular basis. We have to choose.

James says that part of the battle is because we want something and we can't get it. You covet what somebo...

The cross is identification, not just that we identify with Jesus, but He identifies with us in our humanity. God sent His Son and allowed Him to suffer, to be rejected and despised. The Bible describes Him as a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Jesus was not born in a palace, but in a filthy animal stable. He never owned a house or received a salary or pension. God sent Jesus to reconcile us, to bring us back to Him, and so t...

Based on the Book of James, chapter 4, we are told to submit ourselves to God and not to fight one another.

I've got a heading in my Bible which is, "Submit yourselves to God." And that really is the theme of this: submitting to the Lord – submission.

I don't think we fully understand the importance of submission. So often, if you're in a fight with two men, one does not want to submit to the other, but defeat that person. Th...

Based on the Book of James, chapter 3, we are urged to speak good, wholesome words which uplift others.

What we sow, we will also reap. I mean, this is a quotation from the Lord Himself: that what we sow, we reap. If you sow discord, then you'll suffer the results. But if you sow peace and love and kindness, then you'll receive the reward of that.

So, coming back to the beginning of this – and I really do feel that only James...

When I was finally released from prison, everyone urged me to move on. They asked where I would go next, and when I told them I was going back behind the Iron Curtain, they did everything they could to stop me. Friends, colleagues, everyone I knew said: “Forget the past. Forget the suffering and imprisonment. Start a new life.”

I couldn't do that.

During my sentence, I was held in two different facilities – first ...

Based on the Book of James, chapter 3, we are urged to live a life of goodness so that only good deeds will pour forth.

It's easy to talk the talk, but not so easy to walk the walk. If you talk it, live it. Don't talk something and live differently.

Now, that comes basically from the Scripture. Because he says, he who's wise and understanding, show what you mean by what you say and what you do, and don't let your actions contradict...

Proverbs 29.18 delivers an uncompromising truth: “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”

Throughout Scripture, prophets, priests, and apostles were defined by one common thread: they were propelled by divine vision. Vision is not wishful thinking, nor is it a personal ambition dressed up in religious vocabulary. It is the steady, quiet conviction of hearing the voice behind you say: “This is the way, walk i...

Based on the Book of James, chapter 3, we are cautioned to be careful about the words we use. Jesus said, "Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks."

We should be consistent in what we say. And in verse 11, he sums it up very, very carefully: "Can fresh water and dirty water – salt water – come from the same spring?" It can't. And he also says, "Can a fig tree bear half figs and half olives, or a grapevine bea...

Based on the Book of James, chapter 3, we are cautioned to be careful about the words we use – make sure they uplift and not lead to destruction.

We need to realise the importance of what we say. Then, of course, in verse 9, he goes on: "With the tongue we praise the Lord, and with it we curse man, who has been made in God's image. Out of the same person's mouth can come both blessing and cursing."

Now, it's true. Somebody ca...

When you call upon the Name of the Lord you will be saved, healed and restored. If you need Jesus to work a miracle, I want to pray with you: 'Father we come in the mighty Name of Jesus, we ask You for a miracle. Reach out Your hand, touch these people, heal their sicknesses, forgive their sins, mend broken hearts, restore their lives. You sent Your Son so that we could know You: that we could know Your love, power and forgiveness....

Based on the Book of James, chapter 3, we are cautioned to be careful about the words we use – make sure they uplift and not lead to destruction.

What we say is important. I mean, the Bible says that everything we say is recorded, and we shall be judged on it.

And while you might think that that's an impossibility, but what we're finding now: that so often the record of what you have said on a phone, it's difficult to get rid...

Based on the Book of James, chapter 3, we are cautioned to be careful about the words we use – make sure they uplift and not lead to destruction.

In verse 6, James says, "The tongue is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. The tongue can corrupt the whole person and set the whole course of his life on fire." And then, of course, he goes on to say – and this is the danger – even the tongue can be set...

Salvation is a gift freely given, but following Christ costs everything. In Mark 10, Jesus confronts His followers with a jarring paradox: while grace cannot be bought, the path of discipleship carries a cost that many simply refuse to pay.

Most believers are comfortable with the promise of heaven, yet hesitant when confronted with the reality of the cross. Re-examining Mark 10 reveals a stark choice between seeking personal status...

Based on the Book of James, chapter 3, we are cautioned to be careful about the words we use - making sure they uplift and do not lead to destruction.

If we listen to the wrong voices, and if we are not responding to God, we will turn – without necessarily realising it –  in the wrong direction.

The tongue is a small part of the body, but it controls so much of who and what we are. It is so easy to use the tongue i...

In this powerful message, David shares testimonies from over seven decades of ministry – from surviving post-war church decline and facing miraculous physical healing, to smuggling Bibles behind the Iron Curtain and preaching to thousands across Bulgaria, Ukraine, and Russia. Discover how genuine revival isn't just an idea, but a demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit that transforms hearts, moves nations, and overcome...

In Mark 10.33, Jesus takes the Twelve aside – speaking specifically to them rather than the wider crowd – to reveal what lies ahead: His suffering and death. He tells them, “The Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn Him to death and will hand Him over to the Gentiles.”

Immediately after Jesus reveals His impending death and resurrection, an extraordinary in...

In today’s episode, based on the Book of James, chapter 3, we must learn to control our tongue – to only use words that uplift rather than tear down.

We all stumble in many ways. We all fail; not one of us is perfect.

In verse 3, he then puts it in a slightly different way, saying the same thing. He says: "We put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us." And it's quite interesting, because that's the only wa...

In today's episode, based on the Book of James, chapter 2, verse 19: Do you think it is enough to just believe that there is a God? Move beyond that. Be like Abraham, and put your faith into action, and become a friend of God.

The devil believes that there's a God. He knows – he knows only too well! And, I mean, that was evidenced right from the beginning of Scripture with his temptation in the Garden of Eden, and also in the...
