John G Lake was an American evangelist that came out to South Africa, many, many years ago.
He started the Apostolic Faith Mission and the AGS Church, and he said when you get up in the morning, look in the mirror when you are getting dressed and say to the person who is facing you in the mirror, ”Wherever that man or woman goes today, God is going with them”, and then…
Read MoreHe said, “I cannot run on Sunday.”
“Why?”
He said, “because it is against my belief!”
Now, that was his personal belief, because he loved Jesus so much.
They even got the future King of England, the Prince of Wales, to try and persuade him to run for his king and his country.
He said, “My king says I will not run on Sunday.”
Read MoreGod’s will is the most important thing in your life.
This weekend, sit down quietly with a cup of tea in the garden and say, “What is God’s will for our way forward?” And you will not fail.
Read MoreAnd I called out to The Helper, The Comforter - The Holy Spirit.
And I remember, He gave me that word so clearly, “Angus, I will give you strength for the strain.”
He will not leave us deserted.
He will give us the strength we need.
Read MoreWe have to obey the authorities put in place.
But we can phone each other.
We can text each other and most of all, we can pray for each other and we can love each other.
I really believe the devil is hell-bent on trying to separate us because he wants to divide and rule, but The Lord says do not neglect the gathering of the brethren.
Read MoreAs a young man, 19 years old, I was at Agricultural College in bonnie Scotland, and in the afternoons we had to do practical work.
I was sent out with an old Scotsman, with a tractor and a trailer, and we had to go and collect silage.
And that silage was very hard to get out of the pit. We didn’t have a front-end loader as they have nowadays.
We used forks. And he backed this huge trailer up against the silage pit and he took off his jacket and he started putting the silage into the trailer.
I said to him, “Sir, please…
Read MoreDo you know that I have got a horse by the name of Snowy and that horse knows when I am not at peace? That is the honest truth.
He knows when I am agitated because when I get on his back, he can feel it, and that makes him agitated and then he becomes difficult.
Read MoreAnd at about lunchtime, midday, he got in the pick-up and he drove into the middle of the fields and he was praying there for rain, and big black clouds came over from the northwest - that is where our heavy rain comes from - and he was literally dancing around he was so happy…
Read MoreEvery morning when I get up early, I spend time, first and foremost, reading God’s Holy Bible, which is His Word in print.
And that is where we need to major, in this time in which we are living, when there is so much negativity everywhere.
We need to speak life and not death.
Read MoreOur production loan was at its limit. Our overdraft was exceeding that which we had permission to use and I did not know what to do. And we got on our knees and we prayed and a miracle happened - something I have never ever seen in my life before and probably will never see again. There was a horrific snowstorm.
Read MoreI remember, like yesterday, taking a group of men up into the mighty Drakensburg Mountains. We were going up this contour path and then we saw a man sitting by himself on a rock, looking very dejected, all by himself. And we said to him, “What is wrong?” He said, “My team has left me behind. They said I was too slow.” We said, “Join us. We will take you to the top.”
Read MoreNow if you want a friend, you have to be a friend.
You have to spend time with that person.
You have to get to know them.
You have to have daily quiet times.
You have to…
Read MoreHe said, “You look so happy. You look so confident.”
You see faith is complete trust or confidence.
“Oh”, I said, “Jannie, there has been a change in my life.”
He said, “I need to see you.”
I said, “I will see you tomorrow afternoon”…
Read MoreA little boy was always late for school. His teacher would stand him in front of the whole class and hit him on the hands with a strap, and make him cry.
Day after day, he was always late for school, and the teacher would lose his temper and smack him on the hands with a leather strap until one day the teacher was coming to school and he noticed a little boy coming out of a house.
But this little boy was pushing a wheelchair and…
Read MoreAnd one morning I went through the maize and The Lord said, “Stop looking at the gaps. Start looking at the maize.”
You see, we don’t get paid by volume.
We get paid by weight, and each one of those cobs had massive pips, and that year I was able to cover all my costs and even make a little profit. Remember, if God is for you, no man will stand against you.
Read MoreWell, I remember that children’s bedtime story of Hansel and Gretel.
Remember that little brother and sister?
I think they lived somewhere maybe in Germany and they went into the big dark forest and they wanted to make sure that they would not lose their way, so Hansel started to drop little bits of bread on the path so that they would find their way back. He made a plan.
But of course, what happened was…
Read MoreIt is better to have even tried and failed than to have never tried at all. Remember, when we were told, when we were young men and women – a faint heart never wins a fair maiden. We cannot be undecided. This is the time we have to put our faith and everything we have into action. We need to stand on the promises of God.
Read MoreWhen they were finished, they stood up, and they said to the dear old lady, “How much do we owe you, Madam?”
And she looked puzzled.
She said, “You don’t owe me anything!”
They had walked into a private home!
Read MoreIn the archives in Rome, there is a report written, nearly 2000 years ago, by a Roman, (His name was Publius Lentulus) to his emperor, Tiberius. It reads:
There has appeared in Palestine, a man, who is…
Read MoreOh my dear friend, do you believe in miracles? Well, if you don’t believe in miracles, you cannot believe the Bible because the Bible is full of miracles from Genesis right through to the Book of Revelation. I remember, like it was yesterday, being invited to speak at the Feast of Tabernacles, down at Ein Gedi, the Dead Sea in Israel, the lowest point on earth - 400 meters below the sea level. Folks, it was something I will never forget.
