I want to teach you about miracles – we canALL see miracles happen! In my ministry I seemore healing miracles than perhaps anyonetoday. It’s normal in my meetings to see onethird of the people attending healed – some-times that may be three or four thousand peo-ple healed in one meeting. Some miracles arebig, some are small. In Israel, it is a miracle thatunbelievers come to Christ in my meetings intheir hundreds and thousands – somethingwhich has not happened since the days ofJesus and the Apostles. The first time I went tothe Russian-speaking Holocaust survivors inIsrael, they said they would only come to mymeetings on one condition: that if my Jesus wasthe Jewish Messiah, He would work miraclesand heal them! They only came on the under-standing that miracles would happen. And themiracles happened every time! The people lis-ten to what I say because of the miracles –which happen because I am a son of God, heirto the promises given to Jesus, and live by thepower of God.

Every one of us who believes in Jesus is a newborn person, born into direct relationship withGod through Jesus Christ! Many of you havechildren. I have 3 daughters, 5 grandchildren –and 3 great grandchildren! One of my daugh-ters is a grandmother! It is a wonderful miraclewhen a child is born. But little babies begin togrow – and they grow, and grow…! It’s thesame for us as God’s children, we don’t remainas little babies, or as little children running allover the house! When I look at children, I seethem running around, playing games, kicking afootball... But in a few years, they will be goingto work – they have to buy their food, they haveto live! They have to grow up and take adultresponsibility! You cannot remain as a baby!Some Christians see Jesus as a baby or a deadman on a cross – but that’s wrong. Jesus is not ababy nor is He dead!! Jesus was like you, Hewas born as a baby, became a man when Hewas 12, and for 18 years Jesus, the Son of God,worked as a carpenter. He was not the evan-gelist from His early days, He was a workingman! Only when He was 30 years old did Hebecome the evangelist and was only an evan-gelist for 3 years! Now this is what I am saying,spiritually – YOU MUST GROW! You don’t remaina baby, you cannot be a Christian ‘child’, run-ning all about the place. Paul said, you cannotlive for ever on ‘milk’, you need to progress tothe ‘strong meat’ of the ‘Word’. You have toaccept responsibility, grow into maturity. Youhave to work! You are called to work for God! Iwork, not for myself, for Him! Every one of us – ifyou are a businessman, a mother, a teacher,whoever you are – you work for Jesus! It’s notjust the pastor – he’s not the only worker! You

are the workers, you are the people of God!You were born into a new life. People withoutJesus live in a different world. But when youcome to Jesus, you come into a new life! Afriend of mine has a daughter 17 years old, butmentally she is only 2. When she was born – awonderful baby – you expect her to grow... Myfriend’s daughter, in her body is a youngwoman now, but in her mind she is still a baby.What a tragedy! But some Christians are likethis, they’ve been a Christian for 17 years, but intheir minds, they’re a baby! I want to show youhow you can grow! What does the Bible say?

Acts 2:22 says: ‘Jesus of Nazareth, a manapproved of God by miracles and wonders andsigns which God did by Him in the midst of you,as you know!’ When they were talking aboutJesus 2000 years ago, they did not describe Himas a great prophet – He was; they did notdescribe Him as a good man – He was. How didthey describe Him? As a MAN, born inBethlehem, growing up in an ORDINARY town,Nazareth... But what made Jesus different?Different from you, me, others? It was the MIRA-CLES! The evidence of God to the disciples, tothe Jew, to the unbeliever is – the MIRACLES!

In the town where I live, we have thousands ofMoslems, and at least 4 times as many mosquesas we have churches. Some of our old churchbuildings have become mosques! Moslems aretrained to talk to us. They say, yes, they believein Jesus. They do! He’s in their Koran. But whatdo they say about Him? They say He was theson of Miriam (Mary), the grandson of Imran(Amram), the father of Miriam, Aaron andMoses! And they say He was a prophet. Elijahwas a prophet. Moses was a prophet. Danielwas a prophet. They say Mohammed was aprophet. But they don’t see Jesus as the Son ofGod. They are very strong on this. They say Allahhas no need of a son. And they say He did notdie on the cross for our sin, but that He wastaken down and replaced by another man! Butto you and me, Jesus is the Son of God. Why?Because of the miracles! That’s what convincedpeople! The Jews 2000 years ago said of Him,‘No man can do the miracles You do unlessGod were with him!’ – John 3:2. And the confir-mation that He is still alive is that He works mira-cles – through us today!

Yet God deliberately sent Jesus to be born withnothing more than we have! Stripped of every-thing, He was born as a man, just like us! –Philippians 2:6-8. But approved of God by themiracles! How was He able to do what He did?And if He did, then how can we?

In Mark 16, after the resurrection – Jesus had

2

died on the cross, He came backalive, and now eating a meal with Hisdisciples – this is what He says, in verse15, “Go into all the world, preach theGospel – but begin in ‘your’Jerusalem!” Today I preach to thou-sands, but I started in the street, as aboy near my home church. Only thisyear, a man came up to me whoremembered me from almost 70 yearsago, because of the Gospel I hadpreached in the open air! And in verse16,17, Jesus said, “He that believesand is baptised will be saved… andthese signs will follow those thatbelieve…” – Jesus is saying, when youbelieve, something changes!Whatever your age, 10 or 30 or 70,when you come to Jesus – and BELIEVE– you CHANGE!!! Jesus said, “THESESIGNS WILL FOLLOW THOSE WHOBELIEVE!!! – In My Name they will castout demons, they will speak with newtongues, they shall take up serpents,and if they drink any deadly thing, itshall not hurt them,” – and more thanthat – “you will lay your hands on thesick, and the sick will be healed!”

You CAN work miracles, you CAN healthe sick – but you need the faith tobelieve it!!! In Matthew 17, Jesus hadtaken 3 of His disciples up a highmountain and He was transfigured –but then, they had to come down! It’seasier for us to believe for miracles onthe top of some ‘spiritual mountain’,than in the valley of our ordinary lives,but you have to come down! WhenJesus and the 3 disciples came down,the father of a boy came to Jesus. Hewas angry, “My son is sick. I broughthim to Your disciples – they’ve livedwith You Jesus for more than a year –but they could not heal him!!” Jesusimmediately healed the boy, and thenHe said to His disciples, “How long am Igoing to be with you?! You HAVE tohave the same power I have when I’mgone!” Now that’s a fact. Jesus is notphysically here. His Spirit is here, Hispower is here. But WE have got to seethe miracles NOW! The disciples asked,“What is wrong with us? You taught ushow to heal the sick, but we can’t doit!” We need to ask that same questiontoday! Why don’t you heal the sick? –Jesus said, “BECAUSE OF YOUR UNBE-LIEF!” If you want the gift of the HolySpirit to work miracles, to heal the sick,you NEED a gift of faith to believe that

God will do it! It takes a tremendousamount of faith to believe that God willdo what He says!

When Jesus said, “Go into all the worldand preach the Gospel,” He commis-sioned you and sent you out! The rea-son we are saved is to bring peopleinto the Kingdom of God, and thatthese in turn will go out and becomethe evangelists and the pastors! Godwants to prepare you and equip youfor the work of the ministry. If you sendout an army, they need the equip-ment to fight! It’s the same with us. Youcannot go, unless you are equipped!The very first thing is to KNOW you aredelivered, born again, that you havethe power to work miracles like Jesusdid. Then we need the faith to make itwork; we NEED the gifts of the HolySpirit – 1 Cor 12. There are differentgifts, but faith is one of the gifts thatGod will give to equip you. For 70years, since I was baptised in the HolySpirit, I have asked for the gift of faith.But I still don’t claim ‘I have faith’. Myfaith is only the life I live today – notyesterday, not tomorrow – NOW!

Jesus said in John 15:16, “You did notchoose Me, I chose you and calledyou, that you WILL bring forth fruit, andthat fruit WILL remain!” I want to chal-lenge you, Jesus still says this to youNOW! I know, because God calledme.

I believe God called me from my birth.Then when I was 15, nearly 70 yearsago, God called me to give Himeverything. Seventy years ago I gaveHim everything. God did not call meas an evangelist or pastor, no. Godsaid one thing, “David, I want EVERY-THING! Your feet, your hands, yourmind, your mouth, your heart, yourfamily, your children, your house, yourmoney, everything.” And the Bible tellsme that when I give God everything,that’s just the beginning. In Romans12:1 – Paul says: ‘I beseech youbrethren by the mercies of God thatyou present your bodies a living sacri-fice, holy and acceptable unto God,which is your reasonable service.’ Doyou work for a salary? Do you get paidto do a job? The person who employsyou expects you to do that work! Hepays you to do it! You are only doingwhat is ‘reasonable service!’ Jesus

says, if you give everything, you aregiving nothing, it is only ‘reasonable’ –it’s expected!

What does God want, expect fromyou? God is not asking, God demandsthat you give your life back to Him, notdead, but as a living sacrifice. For sev-enty years I have given my life, butthat’s nothing. Jesus gave His life, andHe expects me to give Him mine! If Ireally want to give God something, Ihave to give Him more, and more, andmore, and more. I can never give Godenough. If I lived the lives of 100 men,and if I give God every one of those100 lives, I cannot repay God. I oweHim – I’m in debt! I’m ‘over my head indebt’! If I give God everything, I can-not repay the debt. So I must give Himeverything!

Do you want the gifts of faith and miracles? But are you willing to pay

the price of that gift and will you finishthe job God has called you to do?

I want to express my thanks to you foryour tremendous prayers for what hasbeen going on in my ministry and inPoland in particular – God answersprayer! Because of the prayer that hasgone up, the mission that we held 5, 6,7 September was far more successfulthan anything we could have antici-pated or hoped for. We were lookingfor the impossible – and yet on one dayalone in that massive park, the largestnature park in Europe, approximately60-70,000 passed through under thesound of the Gospel! During the Festivalwe distributed all 100,000 of our special-ly printed evangelistic brochures – weran out! The participating TV compa-nies estimated that at any one time, 25-30,000 people were crowded in thevenue (designed to hold up to 30,000people at a time), and according to theTV crews, the attendance in the parkchanged about 3 times during the day.

It was not like a church or stadium

meeting with a constant number ofpeople – it was an outreach with con-stantly moving crowds – the Gospelmessage from the stage and broad-cast on the 8 big screens all over thepark via special outdoor speakers farbeyond the tent: first pre-preparedshort Gospel clips with the call to repen-tance and healing, then the two mainlive evangelistic meetings – the worship(by several of the most famous andpopular Polish Christian Bands), mymessage, the call to repentance andministry of healing – broadcast allacross the park – and on this one day,in the tent, I was told thousands person-ally came to receive Christ. We couldonly see the response of the 20,000 inthe tent, but all 60-70,000 in the parkwere able to hear the Gospel, andreceived the leaflets detailing the wayof salvation.

It was a tremendous blessing to see thechange and the joy in their lives! I

speak about Christ with so much pas-sion – Jesus is my life! I love Him! As aboy I used to ask my father, “What hap-pens to those who have never heardthe Gospel? Because after death it iseither Heaven or hell!” My father wouldreply, “Son, if you don’t tell them,nobody will.” The power of God to healthe sick was so great, that even beforeI got up to speak in the first meeting inthe tent, one man, a first aider on dutyat the event, was spontaneouslyhealed during the worship. His arm wasbroken and in a cast – he couldn’tmove his hand at all. He was so con-vinced that God had touched him, hecut off the plaster and showed every-one what God had done! The finalhealing of these three days was a manwith bone cancer for six years, scarcelyable to sit, stand or walk without help –he RAN to the front! He said, “I felt I wasoperated on by the Holy Spirit! Also myheart, weakened by years of chemo, ishealed!”

Preparation began two years ago, withthe participating churches giving them-selves to constant street evangelism. Iwas introduced to a pastor’s wife, whothrough her tireless work day after day onthe streets of her city, filled 9 buses, andthis one church alone brought a total of20 buses from that region! In these 2years of preparation, I am told the localchurches and street evangelists reachedover 17,000 – on the streets – for Christ!Over 600 buses were involved in theSaturday outreach in the park.Unbelievers signed up to come to thefestival with excitement, saying, “It’s agreat idea to have such a day in thepark, of course we want to come!” It waswonderful to watch the bus loads ofpeople streaming into the arena. We our-

selves were caught up in the traffic jam!

And the next wonderful thing – thesepeople went back as new convertstogether with the believers from thechurches who had organised the busesto bring them – and therefore had alltheir names and addresses!

For this event I personally prepared anevangelistic brochure with the Gospelappeal, prayer of repentance and nextsteps for salvation, which was personallygiven to all the thousands who attendedthe evangelism in the venue; also 20,000of my special follow-up booklets – ‘Godis your Father’ and ‘Coming Home’ –were distributed. And a brochure wasgiven to everyone with the names and

addresses of all the participating churches.

On the Sunday morning in the largestchurch in Katowice, the Senior Pastorasked me to come back to hold a ‘com-missioning conference’ like I do for theVietnamese – to send the people out asevangelists worldwide. They would callpastors and leaders together from allPoland and from the whole PolishDiaspora – this would be a further fulfil-ment of Hudson Taylor’s prophecy in1889, that the last great revival wouldbegin in Russia, then move into allEurope, and that this revival will not goout until Christ returns! To me one of themost important things about evangelismis not only to see people repent, butwhen they become evangelists!

But perhaps the greatest miracle of allduring these 3 days in Katowice andKrakow was the fact that National andRegional TV broadcast the wholeFestival – it reached all parts of Poland!Friday night in the ‘Teatr Rozwyki’ andSunday afternoon in the ‘OperaKrakowa’ were broadcast LIVE! For two

hours they broadcast the whole mes-sage, the call to repentance andshowed the most important miraclehealings, live on TV! In addition to thelive broadcasts and re-broadcasts thewhole 3 days of the evangelism werefilmed by 5 major TV channels and 2internet channels (covering Poland,

the Polish Diaspora worldwide, andRussian-speaking peoples worldwide),While only eternity will reveal theresults, for the first time in history, thewhole nation had the opportunity tohear – which exactly fulfils the chal-lenge of Scripture. All had an opportu-nity to repent if they wanted.

“In the difficult world in which we live now, we need toremind people of the TRUE Gospel. It’s a Gospel of love, ofpeace, and forgiveness. Where you have a religion thatdelights in killing people of other persuasions, this is not reli-gion, it’s not faith. It is imperative that we, as believers inthe Gospel of Jesus Christ, speak out boldly and clearly tothe world. We are in a very critical time in world history. InPoland you need this real assurance that our God is a Godof salvation. I want my visit to be a demonstration to youof God’s outreach, His love, His message to your nation,your government, your churches, your people. God lovesyou, and the reason I have come is because – I know Godloves me!

“This is a Catholic country. A person is said to be a ‘saint’when miracles happen, when you receive an answer tothe prayer you made to that saint. Well, Jesus is a ‘Super-Saint’! Because in these meetings here in Poland, hun-dreds, thousands of people will be miraculously healed,not by me, but by the living Christ! To me this is the mostpowerful evidence of who Jesus is, that He is alive and hasbecome the only true evidence of life after death! I havea message so powerful, it can change your nation, blessyour people and bring a new unity. One of the last thingsJesus said to His disciples before He died, is that one thingwill convince the world of your faith – when we love oneanother! And there is no better way to come together inunity than in the preaching of the Gospel. This love is foreverybody! Our Festival here in Poland is not for ‘religiousChristians’, it is to unite the whole nation in the love of God.

“In the Bible God says that you should call on Him ‘if youare sick, or in trouble, or in prison’ – we all get darkmoments! It was in my darkest moments that God wasmost real to me. That’s the power of the Gospel I preach. Iminister to sick people because I was sick, I minister topeople in prison because I was in prison – my personalexperience! And that’s why God had to send His Son,because how can a God remote from us in Heavenunderstand what it’s like for us?! That is why Jesus had tolive with us. In one of my darkest moments, in the prison, Icried out to God, ‘You are in Heaven, You are surroundedby music, singing, everything’s wonderful. But I’m in a filthystinking prison cell!’ God answered me, ‘That’s why I sentMy Son. He was in a prison, He was beaten, tortured – and,like the Christians in Syria and Iraq today, He was cruci-fied.’ Yes, we have our dark moments, but when the pris-oners around me were in absolute despair, self-harming,cutting themselves to relieve the pain, I tried to be a lightin a dark place and tell them about Jesus. And this iswhere, in the darkness, in the darkest hour, the messagethat I preach is at its most important.

“My ministry is not a work, a job that I do, it’s my life. I willnever retire, I shall preach this Gospel as long as I havebreath! My very active life at my age is a testimony toGod’s healing power – I am very healthy, I do a lot ofsport. But God has given me this strength so that I can dowhat I do – preach Christ! It’s my life!”

“Jesus is the Son of God. He has power on earth! He’s notjust in Heaven, He’s not thousands of miles away. Jesus isalive today, here, right now. He’s here in Poland, inKatowice, He’s here in this tent – and He wants to show Hispower! God sent His Son as His Ambassador to reveal Hislove to you. God’s love is so great, so strong – forgiveness,healing – you will never know what life is until you receivewhat Jesus can give you! – In one moment of time your lifewill change! Call on God, He will give you what you ask –peace, forgiveness, healing. I know, because God has

healed me of cancer twice, rescued me from a commu-nist prison. Every time I preach Christ, miracles happen.Today I want to give you the free gift of God – peace, for-giveness, healing – but it’s the most expensive gift in theworld! To give you this free gift, Jesus had to die on a cross– took your sin and sickness on Himself, took your punish-ment – so you can have peace, healing and forgiveness.Then He came alive to prove there is life after death! I wantyou to call upon the Name of Jesus NOW!”

I remember 20 years ago, going to Russia for 3months at a time, it was so hard to communi-cate back home, or even within Russia itself –the telephones didn’t work, and the comput-ers didn’t connect because there was nointernet! To call England I had to book a call,pay for it, wait for 45 minutes in a line, andwhen it was my turn, either I couldn’t hearthem or they couldn’t hear me. To book anonward flight from one airport to the next wasimpossible, because the computer in one citydid not connect to the other. But today, it’s soeasy to communicate. Even the children – I saw one boy, 3 years old, outside my hotelhere with his tablet! When I walk down thestreet, I see the boys and the girls with theirhand to their ear, they’re on their mobilephones, talking all the time. Or texting. I reada report that said that fifty percent of theyoung people in England, driving their cars,are either talking on the phone, sending textmessages, or they’re on Facebook! Yes it’sagainst the law, but they’re doing it!Communication?! Apparently half the popu-lation in England take their smart phone tobed! And they wake up in the night checkingtheir phones, they want to get the latest textmessage, or tweet, or email, or Facebookupdate. And again first thing in the morning!And the first thing people do now when theycheck into a hotel is ask for the internet con-nection! Communication!

But we have a more reliable communicationwith God! We need that same level of com-munication you have on your mobile phones– but with God! You’re so quick to talk to yourfriends, you’re always sending them a mes-sage, doing Facebook. How many of you useFacebook? Come on, admit it, and what areyou doing – you’re communicating! And yousend a picture, ‘this is me in a hotel, this is meeating breakfast, this is me in a conference’...it’s true! But what about your communicationwith God?! Have you told Him where you are?Is He talking to you? Are you talking to Him?When was the last time you talked to God? –You speak more to your friends!!! But who isyour best friend? Who?

I want you to understand the power of com-munication with God. Do you know aboutElijah? – He prayed to – that is he communi-cated with – God, and when he talked toHim, he asked God to stop the rain. And itdidn’t rain – for three and a half years! Andwhen did the rain start again? – Only whenElijah prayed! Have you ever called down rainor fire from heaven like he did? When is thelast time you prayed like Elijah... and where isthe fire?! But that is the power of communica-tion in prayer. How did Jesus work miracles?And what was the secret of the power in thelife of Jesus? He would go up the mountain

and pray to His Father, then He would comedown the mountain – and miracles hap-pened! You see, the miracles happened – notjust because He was Jesus – but because ofthe relationship He had with His Father. If youhad that relationship with God, that level ofcommunication – you would see miracles,you would work miracles! In your life, in otherpeople’s lives.

How can we work miracles? Have youreceived the Holy Spirit? If so, after you arebaptised in the Holy Spirit, you receive gifts – 1 Corinthians 12. There are nine gifts, threevocal gifts: speaking with tongues, interpreta-tion of tongues, and prophecy. Three intellec-tual gifts: the word of knowledge, the word ofwisdom, and discerning of spirits. And threepractical gifts: gifts of healing, the working ofmiracles, and the gift of faith. Have youreceived the Holy Spirit? Then just as speakingin tongues is one of the gifts, so is healing thesick! Personally I love the practical gifts; all mylife I’ve asked God for the gift of faith, to knowGod, to trust God. Faith is practical; you needthis faith to work miracles, heal the sick,preach the Gospel. I need tremendous faithto do the work that I do, but I also have faithto believe God has called me, chosen me tobe an evangelist, to preach the Gospel to allEurope, and in Israel.

If you want the gift of the Holy Spirit to workmiracles, to heal the sick, you cannot buy it,you cannot earn it even by ‘holiness’, youhave to take it by faith! Take it! But how? Readyour Bible! Romans 10:17 says, ‘Faith comesby hearing!’ Open your ears! I TALK to youabout faith because you CAN receive it – byHEARING! The more we talk about faith, themore we hear, the stronger our faithbecomes. How do we hear? Romans 10 sayswe hear by the Word of God! No, not justreading the Word of God, HEARING! You allread your Bible (I hope), it’s the Word of God– but you have to ‘HEAR’ God speak to youfrom it! Do you ‘HEAR’ the Words God is speak-ing to you? You hear your mobile phone! Doyou HEAR God? If you LISTEN to God – youWILL receive faith! Romans 10:8 says: ‘TheWord of faith is near you, in your mouth and inyour heart.’ – What is in your heart? – If yourheart is open, the Word of faith is in yourheart!!! But then to bring it into action you mustconfess it – with your mouth!

So we have to BELIEVE what God says! Faith isperhaps the hardest thing... Romans 8:26 says,when we don’t know what we should pray for,the Holy Spirit helps us in our weaknesses andmakes intercession for us with sounds thatcannot be uttered. Communication! When Ihad throat cancer, I refused to have anytreatment, I prayed for 3 months, then I went

back to the doctors and said, “I believe I’mhealed!” The doctor examined me and said,“There is no God, you have no answer andyour cancer has grown so big, we give youthree days, and on Monday morning we willoperate and remove your voice.” I went backhome and the next day I fasted and I prayed:“The doctors say, ‘If there is a God, where isthe evidence? He would have healed you!’Oh God, if You don’t heal me, I’ll lose my voice!Heal me!” I prayed all day. Nothing happened.The next day, again I fasted, but this time, Ichanged my praying, no longer “Oh God healme!” – but – “Oh God I believe You want me togo to Russia. Tomorrow morning they want tooperate and I’ll lose my voice. If You want meto leave my church and my family and go toRussia, then heal my cancer! But if You wantme to stay in England, don’t heal me and I’lltell the doctors You couldn’t heal me! But ohGod, I want You to work a miracle! And I wantthe answer now! Not tomorrow. Now!”

In those days I had a ‘promise box’, filled withdifferent Bible texts. I was so determined toget an answer, I took a verse out of the box,and this is what it said, ‘All things work togeth-er for good to those who love God.’ I said,“Oh God, that’s not the answer! I want a clear‘Yes’ or ‘No’! Help me find the answer!”Communication! And God spoke to me, soclearly, “You chose a verse from Romans 8,begin reading at the beginning of that chap-ter!” So I began. ‘There is therefore now con-demnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.’ –I was angry, “That’s not an answer!” I contin-ued to read. Still no answer. And I came toverse 24 – ‘We are saved by hope, hope thatis seen is not hope! What a man can see, whydoes he hope for it?’ What God is saying isthis: faith HAS to provide an answer – Hebrews11:1 – faith is EVIDENCE, faith is SUBSTANCE,faith is FACT, like the floor I stand on, it’s solid, itwon’t let me down. I don’t ‘hope’ for it. I HAVEit! This is what God was saying: we are saved(from sin) by hope. If you see it, it’s not hopeanymore, if you see something, why do youstill hope for it? If you see the answer, that isnot hope, hope is only hope when you don’tsee the answer! So I’m still praying, “I want Youto give me the answer now!” I read on, verse25, ‘If we hope for that which we can’t see,we wait with patience for it.’ But I’m an impa-tient Englishman, I want the answer! – “OhGod, I’ve asked You a question, and if Youwant me to go to Russia, I’ve asked You totake away this cancer!” I came to the nextverse, ‘The Spirit helps us in our weakness, forwhen we do not know what we should prayfor, the Holy Spirit makes intercession andprays for us – and He that searches our hearts,knows the mind of the Holy Spirit, because theHoly Spirit prays for the saints ACCORDING TOTHE WILL OF GOD!’

When I read those words, I jumped up,“Hallelujah, it’s according to the will of God!I’m healed and I go to Russia!” You see, com-munication is two ways. You pray, you talk toGod. But how many times does God answeryou? How many times have you talked toGod today? – FAITH is when you receive theanswer! At that moment, when I had theanswer, my throat cancer was still there, but IKNEW, GOD HAD SAID, I WOULD be healed! Itwas the WILL of God! This happened 55 yearsago. I went to the doctors the next morning –they couldn’t believe it, they said, “Somebodyhas cut your cancer out with a knife! It’s com-pletely gone!” But how did I know? Becauseon Sunday night, God gave me the answer!And although I could not see for myself, IBELIEVED GOD. There comes a time in your lifewhen you have to BELIEVE God when youdon’t yet see the answer! Don’t believe whatmen say, BELIEVE God, believe what He says!This faith is FACT! FAITH becomes the EVI-DENCE! My faith on Sunday night became facton Monday morning!

Every time I pray, I expect God to give me theanswer. Communication. BEFORE I was healedof the throat cancer, I HAD the answer! Youcan have power with God when you believewhat He says! You will see miracles, nothing isimpossible.

Go into the ‘regions beyond’ in prayer, in faith,in service. There’s no chair lift, no cable car upthis mountain, there’s only one way – step bystep – believing – and, if you start climbing,God Himself will reach down and help you. Butremember the only thing we cannot know isGod’s timing – but even that is always perfect!

Do you have a promise that has notbeen fulfilled? Has every glimmer ofhope been extinguished, are youweak and shaken by the absoluteimpossibility of what you see? –Don’t let go, it’s not a problem toGod! If it ‘can’t happen’, that justmakes you a candidate for a mira-cle! God’s Word works! Everythingneeded to fulfil your promise was

contained within that promise the very first time the Lordmade it known to you! The Word of God is not ‘like’ a seed – it IS a seed! Contained within every seed in nature is the life-giving DNA, written by God – the entire plan for the futureof that seed! When I became pregnant with my children, thewhole future of each child was already written! Psalm 139:15-16 says, ‘When I was made in secret...you saw my unformedsubstance; all my parts, all my days were written in Your Bookbefore one of them came to be’!

What is contained within the ‘DNA’ of the seed of the Word ofGod, what develops out of it, wow, no human eye can tell atthe beginning! But it’s coming, it’s on its way! God tells theend from the beginning, from the moment of ‘conception’ –when the human eye cannot yet see it. It is SPIRIT, it is LIFE,and will become FACT!

If God has spoken to you, given you the seed of His Word,receive it, keep it, DON’T LET IT GO! When the angel spoke toMary, she believed it, received it, ‘Let it be to me accordingto Your Word.’ – Luke 1:38. And Elizabeth recorded of her,‘Blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performanceof those things which were told her from the Lord.’ – God willdo it!

I am stunned by this thought: the ABSOLUTE power of the Wordof God!!! One reason you and I can’t see God is because Heis the INVISIBLE source of everything that we can SEE! Out ofNOTHING He creates SUBSTANCE! He is the UNSEEN power thatcreated and framed the universe and holds it in place! TheGospel of John says: ‘In the beginning was the Word, and theWord was WITH God, and the Word WAS God...and the Wordbecame FLESH!’ – John 1:1&14. Every Word of God that youand I have believed is SPIRIT and LIFE, it was WITH God fromthe very beginning, and WAS God! – And will become FACT!In OUR lives!!!

Is it hard for you to hold on? Don’t abort the Word of God. Belike Mary, hold on to what God has said, keep it in your heart!God’s promises are not worked out in the ordinary way, butaccording to His plan, His timing, His order. It may be impossi-ble to you. But remember, the Angel said to Mary, ‘With Godnothing is impossible.’ – Luke 1:37. God will do it!

‘When all around me is sinking sand, on Christ the solid rock I stand!’ Everything that can be shaken is being shaken – to the core. But God’s Word works!

Shalom! I have a few words to sayabout Israel. It holds a very importantplace in Christianity, in Judaism, andin other religions. Poland is also a veryspecial place – first of all for me, mygrandfather was Polish. And Poland isa really special place for the wholeJewish community. In Poland therewas the largest and most significantJewish community in all Europe in thetwentieth century. In the sixteenthcentury it was the biggest Jewishcommunity in the whole world!Unfortunately during World War II –which was started by the Nazi invasionof Poland on 1st September 1939 –they destroyed 90 percent of thePolish Jewish community – about 3 mil-lion Polish Jews. Katowice, where weare today for this Festival, is also veryspecial. In 1884, 34 Jewish delegatesgathered here in this city and set upan organisation which was the start ofZionism, which led to the establish-ment of the State of Israel!

Christianity and Judaism share thesame values, the same Bible – and, ifyou remember, Jesus was also a Jew!We have had a military operation inIsrael this summer and many Christiansall around the world prayed for Jewsand Israel. Now it may sound strangeto you – but you don’t need to prayfor me, I need to pray for you! I will tellyou why. Christianity was born in theMiddle East – Bethlehem, Nazareth,Jerusalem. Now there is a ‘holy war’ inthe name of ‘God’ – against the peo-ple of God – Moslems, trying to cleanup the Middle East from Christians! This

is not my opinion. This is fact. In 2010 inEgypt there were 4.1 million Christians,now there are only 93,000 of them. InSyria there were 1,750,000 Christians –today only about 450,000. Iraq – 1 mil-lion five hundred Christians in 2010 –250,000 are left right now. They havebeen forced to convert to Islam, emi-grate, or just been killed. In the MiddleEast in the beginning of the 20th cen-tury, 26 percent of the population wasChristian; today it is less than 10 per-cent. The only place in the MiddleEast where there has been a growthof the Christian population in the last60 years is – do you know – ISRAEL!!! In1948 there were 34,000 Christians inIsrael. Now there are 120,000! Israel isthe only place in the Middle Eastwhere there is freedom of religion,with full civil and democratic rights.

I have to say something to you. First Iwant to thank David Hathaway for thisFestival of Life in Poland and theopportunity for me to give you thismessage. Christian people believe inprayer, believe in God – so do I andthe Jewish people. When I park mycar, I ask God that no one will steal itfrom me. But I still lock my car with mykey. Moreover I have also an alarm! IfI want to supply my family with food,money, beautiful dresses for my wife –it’s not enough for me to pray, “OhGod, please supply it for me!” I needto go to work, whether I want to ornot. I ask you as Christians, as peoplewho support Israel, who understandthat Israel is the main place in theBible – it appears 1877 times – we

need to defend and secure Israel – forus, for our next generation.

Prayer is very good and most impor-tant. But we must also take action. Weneed to go to Israel, we need tospeak with our friends, maybe beactive in the social networks. If I wasan alien from outer space and I waswatching TV, reading newspapers,and seeing how many UN resolutionsthere are condemning Israel – I wouldthink Israel is the biggest country onearth, the most evil country on earth –and the biggest numbers of killings,especially of Moslems, is going on inIsrael. But the truth is, from 1948 untilnow, over 11 million Moslems havebeen killed in the Middle East, andover 90 percent of them – killed byMoslems! Zero point three percent(0.3%), is the total number killed in allthe military wars, bombings, opera-tions and the conflict between thePalestinians and Israelis. How many ofyou knew all this?!

I ask you to pray for Israel. And I askyou to take some action – for Israeland for Christians in the Middle East.They are being killed daily – and theInternational Community is silent.

‘First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people.’ Thisstatement is used by Islamists to describe the order in whichthey will commit murder. First the Jews, the Saturday peo-ple. And then the Christians, the Sunday people. The glob-al conquest envisioned by radical Islam depends on theirdisappearance.

It is worth thinking about the all-out religious war beingwaged every day against Jews and Christians. It may bean invisible war because the mainstream media – sufferingfrom excess concern about Muslim sensitivities and fromeditors’ and reporters’ anti-religious bias – has virtuallyblacked it out, but it is one of the most violent conflicts inour world nonetheless.

Jewish communities in the Arab World that just a half cen-tury ago numbered in the millions have all been driven tobrink of extinction. Either hunted down or forced to fleetheir ancestral homes, these communities that had sur-vived for thousands of years have vanished from history.If not for the existence of Israel, the Jews who once livedthere would have vanished too.

Meanwhile, Christian communities’ suffering in the Muslimworld is worse than ever before. Scholars estimate thatevery three minutes a Christian is being tortured in theMuslim world. In 2009, the last year for which statistics areavailable, more than 165,000 Christians were killedbecause of their faith in Muslim countries.

At the start of this year, who imaginedthat within a few months Crimeawould be torn from Ukraine and thatthere would be war on the borders ofEurope? For all the years of the ColdWar (the military stand-off betweenthe Soviet Union and the West), Russiatried to make the West disarm, and ofcourse the West refused. WhatCommunist Russia could not achieve,Gorbachev’s ‘glasnost’ (openness)achieved. Today the West has dis-armed! Was ‘glasnost’ a strategic planby the Russians?

I love Russia, everyone knows my longconnection in ministry. But Putin repre-sents the old KGB. Russia is a proudnation, has a proud history – nothingto be ashamed of, famously Peter theGreat was wide open to Europe. Inhistory, Ukraine was part of Russia, atone time Kiev was the capital, notMoscow! But for many years Ukrainewas divided, part in Poland, part inRussia, until Ukraine was united underthe Soviet Union, and Stalin killed mil-lions of Ukrainians, replacing them withRussians. When Ukraine earlier this yearrejected an agreement with Russia infavour of the EU, Putin, who doesn’taccept the breakup of the SovietUnion (1989-91), reacted. He can’taccept the breakup of the RussianEmpire. You see the tensions?Historically Crimea was part of Russia,it was Russia’s naval outlet to theMediterranean. It was gifted toUkraine in 1954 under Khrushchev, ata time when no one could imaginethat Ukraine would ever separate fromRussia – it was a meaningless gift!

But look at the complex history of bor-ders within Europe! Parts of Polandand Czechoslovakia belonged toGermany. Or look at the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. And Yugoslavia,and the start of World War I. Parts ofFrance and Germany have constantlybeen in dispute. With the exception ofBritain, all borders in Europe havebeen changed by war! What is hap-pening in Ukraine is a repeat ofEuropean history.

But it is causing a serious divisionbetween individuals. I cannot acceptmilitary action when it should have

been resolved diplomatically, but nowit’s out of control. The tragedy is at apersonal level. People have had toleave their homes – some have goneto Russia, some to Ukraine, some havegone to Israel as refugees! People arebeing killed, homes and citiesdestroyed. There is now a spirit ofanger which can take a long time togo away. What concerns me evenmore is that this anger is in the church.Before, Russian and UkrainianChristians worshipped together in thesame church – now they’re againsteach other. Christians have made aterrible mistake; they have put nation-al emotion and pride above theirChristian faith. I have even heard thatthey are cursing each other on thesocial media! Whole Unions are divid-ing. With my many years’ ministry inRussia and Ukraine, I have friends onboth sides!

Before all this happened one pastorfrom Donetsk came to London to visitme, for prayer. But now the pro-Russiaseparatists have taken his churchbuilding – built by themselves at greatpersonal sacrifice – and during thetrouble they were holding prayermeetings there, feeding the people.Suddenly the soldiers came, took thekeys, placed their guns inside! Anotherpastor and his sons have been killed;and other church buildings taken. I’mafraid for the churches where I haveevangelised. They are my friends,we’ve worked together for 20 years.

I don’t trust any ‘peace agreement’.Remember the Winter Olympics inSochi? Only after that did Russia takeCrimea. As I speak here in Poland, theFormula One motor race is to be heldfor the first time ever in Russia, inOctober, in Sochi; I expected Putin tomake some ‘peace agreement’ –and he did! We all remember theOlympic Games in Berlin in 1936 whichgave Hitler fame and credibility... Theproblem is not resolved… We don’thave any leadership in the West thatcan even talk to Putin. He’s laughingat us! When the EU proposed strongersanctions, what did Putin say? – “Intwo weeks I can take Kiev!” At thismoment Russia is the ‘strongest man’in Europe – and she controls the gas

and oil pipelines!

Today the whole world is influencedby the media. But the media is biased,one way or the other. Christians arenot listening to God, they’re listeningto the media. Russian churches aresupporting Putin for fear of losing theirchurches, of being persecuted; andthe Ukrainian churches feel they havebeen betrayed by their friends. It’s notdiscussion, it’s not social media forumsthat will resolve it. The answer is to getback to God. Like every other prob-lem, the answer is in prayer. Theyhave to ask God for the solution. Myheart is to see both sides cometogether. Jesus had a straight answer– the only way is when Christiansdemonstrate their faith by loving oneanother.

Come together, pray together, and letGod speak through the Holy Spirit untilthe ‘real’ Christians forgive each other

and re-unite. After all, isn’t thestrongest message of the Gospel

forgiveness?
