YOUR JOB – AND David Hathaway

Reasonable service! Romans 12:1. I want to tell you about your job andshow you how to do it! I believe withall my heart that God has called us allto work for Him. We are saved, why?To serve! It can be very hard, yes wehave battles to fight, but we are aspiritual army that will never lose! Godwill give the victory – in Jesus Christ!The Bible says so! Read the end of theBook and see for yourself!

God has called YOU and given YOU ajob to do!When I was only 15 God called me.He did not call me as an evangelist, apastor or a preacher, He simply said,“David, I want YOU, I want EVERY-THING!” And I could find no peace,until that night I surrendered and gaveall to Him, my future, my life, my time,my family, my money, EVERYTHING!More recently I tried to ‘out-give’God, but the more I gave to Him, themore He gave to me! I gave mymoney, my energy, my life – and lookwhat God has done for me! – Youcannot ‘out-give’ God! This is how youcan have more power, more energy,more life from God than I have! ButI’m only telling you what the Biblesays!

What is your job? I could tell you Godhas called you as an evangelist, as apastor, but no, I want to tell you some-thing different! I want you to give Himeverything that you have and to putyour life on the altar! In Leviticus 6, thecommandment of God to all thepriests is that, when you put the meatoffering on the altar, and you burn itwith fire, that fire must never go out! Itmust not go out by day or by night,ever! And when you put your life onthe altar of service for God, GodHimself will put the fire in you! Do youunderstand why I have fire? I put mylife on that altar! And God gave thefire. That fire must never go out! Fromthe time I was 15 until now, the fire willnot go out. I hear about so many whoretire, they lose the fire. – NO! The fireand the power must go on! The fire onthe sacrifice must never go out. Pray!Renew the sacrifice! And the fire inyou will not go out! It is 64 years since Igave God everything. Two years ago Iwent back to that very place. I said,“Thank You Lord that You said Youwanted me. Thank You because whenI gave You all my life that was the bestthing I have ever done. I wouldn’tchange these years for anything. Ihave given You 62 years, and I amgoing to give You the next 62 years!” –What counts is the relationship wehave with God!

In the Book of Acts, Ananias andSapphira sold some property, andthey said they would give all themoney to God. But they didn’t giveeverything, they kept part back,secretly. What happened? – Theydied. When you promise to give toGod, don’t keep part back, give Himeverything you promised.

Now this is your calling. In Romans12:1 Paul says, “I beseech you thatyou present your bodies a living sacri-fice, holy, acceptable to God – this isyour reasonable service!” We are allof us the servants of God! You belongto Jesus! He bought you! With HisBlood, by His death! He paid the priceto buy you back from the devil! Untilyou came to Christ, your livesbelonged to the devil. Whoever com-mits sin, is the servant of sin. And whois the father of all sin? The devil! Youwere the children of the devil! But

God wanted you! God loved you! Hesent His Son to die for you!

There was a little boy who lovedboats. So the boy asked his father tohelp him make a model boat. Theygot a bit of wood, fashioned the boat,made a mast with a sail, and theytook it to the sea. The boat picked upthe wind and it sailed, faster andfaster. The boy was so excited: “Look,Dad, my beautiful boat!” But suddenlythe wind became so strong, the boatwas gone! They couldn’t reach it, itwas lost. The boy was crying, “I’ve lostmy boat! It’s gone!” But a few dayslater, he was in the market and onone of the stalls he saw his boat! Hesaid, “That’s my boat!” The stall holdersaid, “It’s not yours its mine. If youwant the boat you have to buy it! Youcannot have it for nothing!” The boywas crying. He went home to hisfather, and his father gave him somemoney. He went back to the shopand he had to buy his own boatback! He ran home shouting, “I’ve gotmy boat back! It’s two times mine!”His Dad said, “What do you mean?”The boy said, “It’s mine because Imade it! Then it was lost. And I boughtit back! It’s two times mine!”

And you are two times God’s! Godmade you. But you were lost in sin.God searched everywhere looking foryou, and then He sent His Son Jesusand He found you, lost in sin, and Hepaid a price in His Blood to buy youback! He bought you back! That’s whythe Bible says there is so much joy inHeaven over every sinner whorepents! Why? Because Jesus says,“They are two times mine! Father, wemade them together, they were lost,and I bought them back! Father, theyare two times Mine!” This is why wepreach the Gospel! This is why weevangelise! And this is why Jesus hascalled YOU, sent YOU into the world –to win back the lost! Don’t let one sin-ner go to hell!

I am shocked at the number of bornagain believers who do not knowwhat God wants them to do. But GodNEEDS every one of you! Your lifebelongs to Christ! This is what youhave to do – Romans 12:1 – Paul saysto every one of you, “I PLEAD with

DAVID’S DREAM!Vietnamese Summer Camp, Beichlingen, Germany

you, that you present your body, aLIVING SACRIFICE – this is your REA-SONABLE service!” – Give your body,your whole life! – This is what God saidto me 64 years ago: “I want a sacri-fice, your life, your time, everythingyou have.” You may say, it’s toomuch, I can’t pay this price. Whatdoes God say? Let’s ask the ApostlePaul what God wants: God says, “Youare My servant.” A servant does whatyou pay him to do. That is REASON-ABLE service. God says, “You do a jobfor Me. If you give Me your whole lifeas a sacrifice, that is only what Iexpect from a paid servant. That isonly REASONABLE SERVICE.”

When I first read these words inRomans 12:1, I was only 15 years old,and I asked, “Oh God, if I give Youeverything, I’m still not serving You! I’monly doing what You demand. But, OhGod, I LOVE You! I’m Yours! I want todo more! Not because You demandit, but because I LOVE You!” If you aremarried, do you understand the thingsthe wife has to do for the husbandand the husband has to do for thewife? What they do is not just becausethey are married, it’s because theyLOVE each other! So you do more,and more. The more you love, themore you do! How much do you loveGod? The more you do, the more youlove Him! What God wants from you, isnot that you would be just ‘servants’,He calls you His children! And thehighest relationship between theChurch and Jesus, is that you will bethe Bride of Christ! And you only getmarried when you love somebody!What you do for Jesus is a demonstra-tion of your love. I hear people say, “Ilove Jesus!” We sing about our love forHim, but it’s not your singing, it’s yourlife! I serve God, I evangelise – notbecause it’s my ‘job’ and I’m His ‘ser-vant’ – I don’t do it for money – I do itbecause I LOVE Him! And I show Him Ilove Him, because I love YOU!

I have a better life serving God, moreadventure, more excitement thananyone else can dream of. God hasblessed me, my children, my grand-children, my great grandchildren – allthis because I gave my life to God!

The incredible power of God is in YOU!This ‘reasonable service’ is so exciting!But even more exciting! Paul says inEphesians 1:18-19, “I pray” – this is theApostle Paul praying for you – “thatGod would open your eyes, so thatyou can see what is the hope of Hiscalling and the riches of the glory ofHis inheritance in you!” God as yourFather has given you an inheritance,so big, you cannot understand howgreat God is, how much He wants togive you! Paul says, “I pray that youreyes would be opened to see theexceeding greatness of His powertowards us!” – Apostle Paul, the great-est evangelist of all time, says “I praythat you can see how great, how big,how powerful is His power in you!” Wecannot understand, we cannot know,we cannot see how great the powerof God in us is! Whether it’s ReinhardBonnke preaching to millions, or me,and all the miracles of healing andthings that I see in my life – I cannotunderstand, you cannot understandhow great God’s power is! So big, sogreat – and that power is in YOU! InYOU! Pastors, leaders, young people,the power of God is in YOU! In me! Allthe greatness of God, all the power ofGod – is in YOU, in a human earthlyvessel! God has put His power, not inthe politicians, not in the millionaires,not in the bankers – but in YOU! In theweakest of you, the poorest of you! Ifthere is a difference between you andme, it is that the power of God that isin me is in YOU – but you don’t realiseit! The difference is – I KNOW! And Iknow that same power is in every oneof YOU! That’s what Paul says, “I praythat God will open your eyes so thatyou will see what you already have!” Ihear Christians praying, pastors pray-ing for the power of God. Paul says,you have it already! It’s in you now! Asa young boy and as a young man Iwanted what you want now, I washungry for God, I wanted more power,I wanted what you want! But youHAVE it! The power of God is in YOU! Ifonly we understood how great God’spower is! – But we have to believe it!Receive it by faith! The power and thetreasure of God is not in a govern-ment, not in a bank, it’s in YOU!

David’s Dream!One of the most precious scriptures

God gave me when I was a boy wasPsalm 63:1-2. David (same name asme!) said, “Oh God, You are my God,early will I seek You, my soul is thirstyfor You, my flesh longs for You, to seeYour power and glory as I have seenYou in the sanctuary!” David in theOld Testament had seen the glory andthe power of God in the sanctuary!And he said, “I want to see that samepower in my life! What I have seen –all the glory of God, all the power ofGod – I want that in my life!”

For 64 years I have cried out to God: Iwant the power and the glory that Ihave seen in the Holy Place in my lifenow! I hunger, I thirst for the power ofGod! I want to see the power of Godon earth! If you knew what hell is like, ifyou spent ten minutes in hell, youwould give your life to save your fami-ly! But I would like to take you intoHeaven for ten minutes, so that youcan see what the glory of God is like!Can you imagine? I love our worshipgroups – but the angels are better!Can you hear the music? Can youhear the singing? Can you see theglory and the power of God? Oh,look! God created all the worlds, allthe stars, all the beauty! God createdall the gold, the oil, God has every-thing! Power! Glory! Forever! Can yousee?! I have news for you – all thatpower, all that glory, YOU – YOU cansee that same power down here! Doyou understand why I live the way Ido? You imagined you went intoHeaven with me just now, do youremember what you saw? The glory ofGod! – But I want to see that downhere! Here! In Germany, in England, inEurope! We WILL see it! We will live tosee the glory of God here, on earth! – That was David’s dream! That’s mydream! God WILL do it! We WILL see it! If we will work together, we will see theglory and the power of God on earthtogether! Give me David’s dream! OhGod, open our eyes, let us see theglory! Here! On earth! Give me David’seyes to see God’s glory, to see God’spower here, to see Heaven on earth!Open the windows of Heaven! HolySpirit come! Come Lord Jesus! Come!

God identifies with us! Recently I received alarge poster-picture of thanks from theHolocaust Survivors in Israel who attendedmy meetings in April. Theirs is a story ofextreme persecution, also of indifferencefrom many in the face of their trouble. Theirposter-picture was a cry from their hearts:THANK YOU FOR NOT BEING INDIFFERENT!

I was in a communist prison for a period ofjust under a year. It was at a very difficulttime politically. I was arrested in June 1972,just four years after an uprising inCzechoslovakia (known as the PragueSpring), which was brutally crushed byRussian tanks. The fact that I was stoppedon the Czechoslovak border with RussianBibles meant that it was the Russians whodetermined that I would be arrested andheld. I had had a tour group there in 1968 (Iowned a travel company) and, for reasonswhich are not accurate, they tried to con-nect me to the uprising. That sets the sceneas to why I was treated quite brutally,because they saw the Gospel that Ipreached and the Bibles I was smuggling aspart of the uprising. I was singled out forsevere treatment which took many differentforms. But as a Christian, I was praying,believing that God would answer, “Oh God,get me out of this prison!!”

Believe me, I was learning how to pray inthe prison! For the first six months and more, Iwas confined to my cell. Eventually Ibecame disillusioned, because I was cryingout to God day in and day out, week inand week out; but I was told that they werepreparing a further case against me, toaccuse me of preaching the Gospel in theprison, and that I would end up with a mini-mum of five more years! I was in quite adepressed state.

I remember one day when I was alone inmy cell, in utter despair. No answers, only

before this, I had come to a place where Iwouldn’t say the Lord’s Prayer, because asa boy at school we had Religious Assembly,prayer every morning – and when we recit-ed the Lord’s Prayer, the boys used blasphe-mous words until ‘simply saying’ the Prayerbecame meaningless. And now, I was chal-lenged, because my ‘other’ kind of prayingwasn’t working! It was as if the Holy Spiritwas saying to me, “Say the Lord’s Prayer!”

So I began, “Our Father...” But I was in sucha rebellious mood that I had to argue withGod, “How can I say ‘Our Father’? ‘Our’ isplural. I am alone in this stinking, filthy cell.How can I say, ‘OUR’? It’s me alone. It’s ‘MYFather!’” I began to repeat it. “My, myFather!” Suddenly I began to realise what Iwas saying. He’s my Father – He’s MINE! It’snot just for people in churches. And He’s notjust God. He’s MY Father! MINE! I grew up ina Christian family. I was a pastor and anevangelist! I was a preacher! But suddenly,for the first time, that absolute realisation ofrelationship – He’s MINE and He’s MYFATHER!

Suddenly it seemed as if I was no longeralone in that cell. It was as if the walls hadblown out, the roof had come off and Icould hear the angelic choirs! Even when Ithink about it today, I still get so emotional!The glory that came into my soul thatmoment was indescribable. I was inHeaven. I was no longer in that prison cell.Nothing can explain what Heaven is like, asI found it in that moment, in that cell. If realHeaven is anything like that, I will preachthe Gospel to my dying breath. – The gloryand the wonder of Heaven! I jumped to myfeet from my stool, and leapt around mycell singing and shouting at the top of myvoice that wonderful hymn, ‘Then sings mysoul, my Saviour God to Thee, how greatThou art!” – The greatness and the glory ofGod burst over my soul! That is what makesme an evangelist! I don’t think anybody canpreach the Gospel right unless you have firstgone through the valley of shadow and tast-ed the pain of hell. That prison was like hellto me, and if hell is worse than that, thenGod help the sinner! Thank God for Jesus,who came to lift us up out of that prison hellinto the glory of Heaven!

And from that time on God began toanswer every prayer. Everything changed.The heavens were no longer brass. Butsometimes you’ve got to go through thehard experience. Jesus said, “If any manwould come after me, let him take up hiscross.” I don’t think that means carrying awood cross on your shoulder, wearing agold cross round your neck. Carrying a crossis ‘identification’ – not just that I was identify-ing with Him, but that He was identifyingwith me! That’s why I preach the Gospelwith such passion, with such enthusiasm –because I want people out there to knowthe Jesus that I know.

GOD IDENTIFIES WITH US! David Hathaway

physical pain and suffering. I had keptstrong until then, but now it hit me. Thatmorning in the utter loneliness of thatmoment, the appalling nature of what washappening really struck me. God had for-saken me. I felt that the heavens were likebrass, shut against me. I had prayed forfood – there was none. I had prayed for avisit from my wife – none was allowed. I hadprayed I would get out – there was norelease. Sitting on that prison stool, cryingout to God, I said, “Oh God, I can’t prayany more. If You don’t answer me, what’sthe point in asking? You don’t talk to some-body who’s deaf, you don’t talk to some-body who absolutely refuses to answer you!The heavens are like brass!”

Most of us at some time come up againstthis hard fact, that you are praying andpraying, and it seems as if God doesn’tanswer! – I was doing everything, even fast-ing in prison, even though we were on astarvation diet! – I had done everything.What are we doing when we fast and pray?– We are trying to get God’s attention, getsome answers – desperation! But I learnthow to pray in that prison in a way that younever do outside! Just spend six months in acommunist prison, go through what I wentthrough, cry out in utter despair to God!Only God can help in those circumstances.Not a Christian in sight! Not a Bible in sight!No worship! No ‘church’! No recordedmusic! Nothing! And I cried out, “Oh God, Ican’t pray anymore! It’s pointless! The heav-ens are shut. You’ve forsaken me, You’veleft me! What do I do?!”

The answer I got in my spirit was that therecame a time when the disciples had to turnto Jesus because of frustration over prayer!They said, “Lord, You seem to get theanswers, we don’t! Lord, teach us how topray!” Then I remembered, Jesus said,“When you pray, say ‘Our Father!’” Long


God needs you! And I want to showyou how God can bring His power intoyour life! Paul says in Romans 10:8, theword of faith I speak to you – if you willreceive it – will release God’s power inyou!

God has a challenge for you! Thewords I speak to you are words of suchpower that, if you will hear and receivethem, it will change your life andchange your nation – just as God haschanged me! When I was just 15, Godmet with me. He said, “I want every-thing!” I said, “Lord, I give you every-thing,” and God poured His Spirit in me,there and then.

God wants to meet with you. He has achallenge for your life: the world is fullof unbelief; we are facing the fact thatmuch of the church has lost its powerand its authority, and people do notbelieve God can work miracles today.My God is the God of the Bible and Hehas more power and authority thananyone in the world. God will do what-ever you believe in your heart that Hecan do! Twice I had cancer – Godhealed me! I was in a communistprison – God set me free! I see amaz-ing miracles – impossible things. A manwith steel pins in his broken hip, hisknee, his ankle – God totally healedhim, melting the steel nails! Eyes blindfrom birth – opened! People with bro-ken arms, legs, backs – totally healed,running, jumping – demonstrating thepower of God!

But I am telling you what the Word ofGod says: the word of faith is so power-ful – and so close to you, that it is in

your mouth! That means, if you speakthe word, miracles will begin to hap-pen – if you believe God can do it! Thisis the tremendous power you havewhen you begin to believe God. Jesussaid, if you believe, you can have whatyou say (Mark 11:21-24). But do wereally believe Jesus or not? And do youbelieve what you say?!

What is faith? People don’t understand.It’s not an emotion, and it’s not some-thing in your brain. It is the most power-ful gift God can give! Jesus gave ninegifts of the Holy Spirit – 1 Corinthians 12– three vocal gifts (the gifts of prophe-cy, tongues and interpretation oftongues); three intellectual gifts (thediscerning of spirits, the word of wis-dom, the word of knowledge)... But I’mnot an intellectual. I am a man ofaction! For me the most important giftsare the three practical gifts – gifts thatGod will give to everyone of you, who-ever you are – gifts of healing, theworking of miracles and the gift of faith– gifts God will give to every believer!When did you last see a miracle?! Butthe greatest gift to me is the gift of faith.This is the one thing I have asked Godfor all my life, that He would give methat gift of faith. Elijah, in 1 Kings 17, in adrought and famine, went to a widowwith no money and no food and shegave the last of her food to Elijah. –And God worked a miracle, that her lit-tle vessel of oil and barrel of flourwould never run dry until He came tothe rescue and sent the rain! I want totell you that faith is so powerful, in mylife, that the power of God will neverdry up, never stop – in Israel, in Poland,in Holland, in Europe – until He hasdone everything He promised.

I want to talk to you about an experi-ment in chemistry, very dangerous. Thenewspapers reported what happenedin England recently. Some immigrantsfrom East Europe wanted to get richquickly making vodka! They had allsorts of chemicals, set up a factory andwere selling this vodka in the shops.One night, mixing these chemicals,suddenly the whole thing caught fire soviolently, five men died instantly – itwas a tragedy. They were trying tomake cheap alcohol, experimenting –and they must have mixed twoexceedingly dangerous chemicals – itwas not an explosion, but a fire so hotthat it totally destroyed them.

But I want you to understand this as aspiritual lesson: – If you will put two spiri-tual things together, something farmore ‘dangerous’ can happen... Doyou want to know?! And if I tell you, willyou try this experiment?! If you look atthe Word of God and can put thesetwo things together, something ‘dan-gerous’ can happen – and I pray it willhappen in Israel, in Holland, in Poland –the reaction of the two together, willbe so powerful, that it will destroy thepower of the devil, overcome thepower of unbelief, deliver the ungodlyand the sinner, change governments,change even you... I have beenresearching the power of God and Ihave found out what these two thingsare... and can prove to you that it’s themost powerful combination you canimagine! Do you want to know more?!

If you put together the power of thisfaith in God and you mix it with oneother thing, there is no limit to what canhappen! Surely I have seen more mira-cles in my life, more of the power ofGod, than perhaps any other livingman. Now, if you put this faith – which Ihave experienced in my life, which wesaw in Georgia last year, in Israel thisyear, which I saw when God deliveredme from cancer twice and deliveredme from a communist prison – youneed just one other thing... Is it too‘dangerous’ for me to tell you?! If youput this kind of faith that I’ve experi-enced, which is in your Bible, andwhich – listen, your Bible says this faithis actually already in your mouth –

A CHEMICAL REACTIODavid Hathaway

P ro p h e t i c

and you put that together with the fireand the power of God (as Jesus said inActs 1:8) – you will receive – in your life –power so strong, so miraculous, soincredible – that the world has neverseen and can never know! If youreceive the same baptism of firethrough the Holy Spirit that Jesusreceived – and Jesus said you CAN ifyou ask – you will experience power soamazing, so strong, that the wholeworld will see it! But YOU have got toput the fire and the power of Godtogether with your faith to create the‘explosion’! If you believe that Godcan do it, Jesus Himself said, this kind ofexplosive, God-power, will move moun-tains, raise the dead, heal the sick,convert the sinner, change nations,change the world, and bring about Hisreturn! All this power is available toYOU when you bring these elements ofGod’s Word together!

But the key is this: In the Old Testament,God’s command is that, when thepriests lit the fire upon the altar, that firemust not go out! – Leviticus 6:13. I believe the Word of God challengesus that we also must receive a baptismof fire through the Holy Spirit so power-ful that it will never go out! Many peo-ple begin walking with God, servingGod, and they say they have receivedthe fire of God. But if that fire in you isfrom God, if it’s the same fire that filledJesus, that fire CANNOT go out! That fireMUST NOT go out. The fire I receivedwhen I was 13 is stronger and morepowerful today, than it was 60 yearsago, because the fire is from God.

Have you been baptised in water? TheBible says (Col 2:12; Romans 6:3-4),when you go into the water you areburied, you are dead. At that momentyou have died with Christ, and whenyou come up out of the water,you have been raised from thedead into a completely newlife, born again, the old life isgone forever – all your sinburied in the grave with Jesus –and you have resurrection life!The baptism of the Holy Spiritmust be just as revolutionary, itmust be as powerful a life-changing experience as yourbaptism in water! Or greater!

When the Holy Spirit fills you with thepower of God – there is a fire, ananointing in your life, nothing is impossi-ble! Through faith I have received thefire and the baptism of the Holy Spirit inmy life! God wants to do this in you!

Will you put these two things together?– Faith in God, and the miraculous fireof the Holy Spirit? – There will be a‘chemical reaction’ so explosive, sopowerful, it will change you andthrough you, the world!

The church in Europe is dying. Today

Europe is the least evangelised conti-

nent in the world. From my youth, God

has given me a passion for evangel-

ism in Europe! I believe that all my life

God has been preparing me only for

this task. My main project for the next

8 years – together with your help – is to

evangelise all Europe, because if we

believers don’t do it now, then either

secularism or Islam will take control

and actively prevent evangelism!

The main purpose of the church is

evangelism! Why are we in the

Kingdom of God? Christ died, not just

for us alone, but for all sinners.

Because of the importance of the

message that He gave us, we must

demonstrate Christ to the world, in the

same way that He did – by signs and

wonders! In April I was preaching to

Holocaust Survivors in Israel, many

from this region here in Poland. I could

speak to them only because I myself

had experienced the hell of a com-

munist prison and God delivered me

out of that hell. That is why we must

reach out to the lost and deliver them

from hell and an eternity without

Christ.

Only God can deliver! Politicians and

bankers can’t, but God CAN through

the power of Jesus’ Name! God has

given me a challenge – to preach the

Gospel in every part of Europe! But

how will they hear without a preach-

er? If nobody tells them, they will

never hear, never know. If churches

are dead, believers asleep – the devil

is winning! All that is necessary for evil

to triumph – is for good men to do

nothing! Let’s get back to demonstrat-

ing the power of the Gospel of Jesus

Christ!

The Pope, when he visited Britain one

year ago, said that the greatest

enemy of the Gospel today is secular-

ism. I was amazed: the Pope, who is

German, said that the extreme end of

secularism is a Hitler – and nobody

knows better than Poland what he

can do – or a Stalin. – And Poland was

caught between these two devils,

one from the East and the other from

the West! There is a danger today that

financially we are in unchartered

waters – no one knows what to do.

There is a danger that, just as Hitler

came to power on the back of an

economic crisis, the Antichrist can

come the same way. But there is

power in the Gospel to deliver nations!

Significantly, Hitler chose this city,

Krakow to be the capital of his

wartime ‘General Government’ in

Poland. Significantly, I believe that

God has chosen Krakow again – as a

strategy for Europe!

To me now the whole of my future, of

my ministry, depends on what God will

do in Poland. Less than one tenth of

one per cent of the population in

Poland are evangelical believers. But

Poland is only one step in my vision to

take Europe for Christ. One month

after Poland I go to Holland – we have

already reserved the Olympic Stadium

in Amsterdam for next year. But if God

can’t deliver Poland, how can He

deliver Holland? God has to show His

power in Poland first! Then Holland,

Italy, France, Spain, Germany… I want

to see such a demonstration of power

in Krakow, that the world will look at

Poland and see, not its tragic past of

concentration camps, ghettos and

Auschwitz, but the glory and the

power of the Name of Jesus! What is

the evidence of God in the world

today? In the Bible it was the miracles

that He did!

For centuries the Polish people have

resisted the Germanic Empire to the

West and the Russian Empire to the

East. But today in Poland there is a

greater enemy than these. I am tired

of powerless Christians and churches

with no vision. But we CAN see the

glory of God, covering Poland – and it

CAN start in Krakow. – If you only knew

the power of this Book – the Bible! – All

the ingredients are here to create the

greatest fire and the greatest power

that this world has ever seen – to heal

and deliver, to forgive every sin, to

change men and nations. What I

want to see released in Poland is an

explosive power that will change the

whole of Europe! The Bible says that

prayer is like dynamite; it generates

the energy that will bring 100,000

unbelievers to hear the Gospel in

Krakow – will heal their sickness, for-

give their sin, set the prisoner free, and

change Poland! Wow! Today I want to

give you the biggest vision you’ve

ever had!

Pray with me!

When we launched this magazine, PropheticVision in 1995, it was because God had givenme a revelation concerning Russia andEastern Europe – and Israel – so clear that it’slike looking down on a map of the devil’sstrategy, but I also see God’s strategy, whatHe wants to do. And this puts an awesomeresponsibility on us to act.

In 1986 God spoke to me clearly, telling methat the Iron Curtain dividing East and WestEurope since the end of World War II would bemelted by the power of the Holy Spirit, whowould then sweep across Europe from East toWest, bringing multitudes to faith in Christ!

In 1988 God demonstrated that He would fulfilthis prophetic Word, when I held the firstEast/West Eurovision Conference in WestGermany. I called it ‘Eurovision’ because itwas God’s vision, my vision, for Europe. Fourthousand attended from around the world,but the miracle was 600 who managed tocross through the Iron Curtain in confirmationof what God was about to do!

In 1989 I held a second East/West Conferencein West Germany. Again 600 came from theEast. I again publicly prophesied the fall of theIron Curtain, and the whole Conference wentto intercession and prayer. Within weeks theCurtain began to fall as God began to fulfilHis Word!

As the different countries in the East openedup, I went in, holding major evangelism inHungary, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Ukraine,then Russia, the Baltic States – now in Israel –and soon in Poland and back into Holland inthe West! This is God’s strategy!

But as the Iron Curtain came open back in1989 – and the world was euphoric – Godspoke a warning to me. He said, time is short,another curtain will fall across Europe, by eco-nomic collapse, by military might, or by spiritu-al force. This is the devil’s strategy. This is theurgency, this is why I have chosen to takeevery risk of faith to fulfil God’s strategy, topreach the Gospel, to win people and touchnations for Christ. The Gospel is the messageof redemption, peace with God, the forgive-ness of every sin, the healing of sickness! Inthe world today we need this good news!

Besides Israel, I don’t believe there is anothernation in history that has been so touched bythe power of God as Britain has. I believe thatGod has a very strong spiritual purpose yet tobe fulfilled in this nation. That’s why my evan-gelism in Europe is very critical, and I ask youto pray, pray, pray that God would restoreBritain so that she can once again take thatplace in leading evangelism and bringing thepower of the Gospel to the world.

I have known for a long time that the world iscontrolled only by a small number of people.There is the European Bilderburger Group; theIlluminati; and the people who are really con-trolling the world today are the ones who arepulling the financial strings! You make moremoney out of war than out of peace, that’sone reason why we have so many wars. In

war the method is that you smash up all the‘toys’ – the machinery, the industry, the infra-structure, and then you have to spend millionsand millions and millions on restoring what’sbeen broken! That is how the financiers whoare controlling it make their fortunes!

But what we are seeing coming now is some-thing far more sinister – we are moving verymuch closer to the return of Christ. ThisSummer I was quite horrified when I saw thevirtual collapse of the European Union andthe Euro money… I said some time ago thatthe real purpose behind the world economiccrisis is a calculated attempt to bring aboutworld government… It’s about to happen…

And I was quite amazed when I read in TheTelegraph in July the following: That the deci-sions made to resolve the Europe crisis and tosave Greece basically were made by Franceand Germany; that the European Union isbasically controlled by France and Germany;that Sarkozy has hailed the decision to bailout Greece as an historic moment that willprovide bold and ambitious plans for the cre-ation of an embryonic EU Treasury in the formof a European Monetary Fund; that Sarkozyhas said, “By the end of the Summer this yearAngela Merkel and I will be making joint pro-posals on economic government in theEurozone. Our ambition is to seize the Greekcrisis to make a quantum leap in Eurozonegovernment. We have done something his-toric. There is no European Monetary Fundyet, but nearly.”

The Telegraph continued: Even largeEurozone countries like Spain and Italy haveseen their borrowing costs jump, raising fearsof a financial crisis that will destroy the Eurocurrency. In response, Eurozone leaders meet-ing in Brussels drew up a deal which will effec-tively use money from successful northerneconomies such as Germany to support thebudgets of failing nations in southern Europe.It is almost impossible to overestimate theimportance of the decisions which they havereached. What they have done is take adecisive step to becoming a fiscal union.Once the settlement is accepted by thenational governments, it will be seen as the‘witching hour’ after which Europe will ceaseto be. Instead there will be a collection ofnation states that will have one economicgovernment, one currency, one foreign poli-cy. This integration will be so complete, thetaxpayers in the more prosperous countrieswill be expected to pay for the welfare sys-tems and pension plans of failing EU states...This is the final realisation of the dream thatanimated the founders of the CommonMarket more than half a century ago…

…This is what they have been workingtowards the whole time. This is one reasonwhy so many prominent Europeans privatelywelcome the Eurozone catastrophe. They seeit as a ‘beneficial’ crisis. British Prime MinisterDavid Cameron and his chancellor, GeorgeOsborne, both indicated that they welcomethis fundamental change. It is possible thatthe decisions made may save the Eurozone,but it is worth considering the consequences

of European Fiscal Union. It will mean theeconomic destruction of the southernEuropean countries, indeed this process isalready far advanced. Thanks to their mem-bership of the Eurozone, peripheral countriessuch as Greece and Portugal, and to a cer-tain extent Spain and Italy, are undergoing aprocess of forcible de-industrialisation, theireconomic sovereignty has been obliterated;they face a future as vassal states. Their rolereduced to the one enjoyed by theEuropean Colonies of the 19th and early 20thcenturies, they will provide cheap labour, rawmaterials, agricultural produce and a marketfor the manufactured goods and servicesprovided by the more productive and effi-cient countries of France and Germany; theirpolitical leaders will become absolutely pow-erless with no political power or authority...While these nations relapse into pre-moderneconomic systems, Germany is turning intoone of the most dynamic and productiveeconomies in the world. For the Germans thebail-out is worth every penny because theyare guaranteed a cheap outlet for theirmanufactured goods…

The decisions made in July this year meanthat Germany has come very close to realis-ing Bismarck’s dream of an economicempire, based on Germany, stretching fromEastern Europe to the SouthernMediterranean.

The plan is also to break Britain into tenregions: the south of Britain becomes part ofFrance (Trans Manche), the eastern part ofBritain becomes part of Denmark andScandinavia etc, so that Britain has no morepower.

And more than that is the collapse ofAmerica economically, and the plan todivide the whole world into ten economicregions controlled by one world government.

I’m not telling you this to frighten you, I amtelling you that you have to pray! I believeGod can deliver us in Britain. I still believeBritain is the key to the salvation of Europe,and the world. That’s why there’s an absoluteurgency to preach the Gospel now! Thedoors are closing. Fast. It is not easy topreach the Gospel in Britain any more, butwe must pray because I believe God wantsto work a miracle.

You must watch my documentary, ‘The Rapeof Europe’, because there is another enemyat the door. You need to see how Islam isintending to take Britain. Go on their website,simply google Muslims against Crusades. Theywant almost immediately to set up threeindependent Islamic states within Britain. Theyhave selected Tower Hamlets in East London,Bradford, and Dewsbury (where we have ouroffice) as test-beds for blanket Shariah rule. Ipass the Central Court for Shariah Law everyday on my way into my office. That is howserious it is.

On 28 July the Sun newspaper reported:‘Yesterday bemused residents of WalthamForest (leafy London suburb, one of the host

authorities for the London Olympics nextyear) were reacting to the news the boroughhad been declared an Islamic emirate by afringe group of fundamentalists... Dozens ofposters had been put up – quickly removedby the council – insisting: ‘You are entering aShariah controlled zone – Islamic rulesenforced.’ Moderate Moslems concededthat this was ill-timed after the massacre per-petrated in Norway by far-Right fanatic,Anders Breivik’…

…Because on 22 July, Anders Breikvik explod-ed a bomb in front of the government officesin the centre of Oslo, killing seven; then wenthalf an hour’s journey to an island wherethere was a youth camp and killed about 70of those young people. – This was not Islamicterrorism; it was an extremist reaction againstthe penetration of Islam in Europe, particular-ly in Norway, and against Norwegian opposi-tion to the State of Israel. And this is thetragedy: the media said about this youngman: he was a ‘fundamental Christian’. Thatis how they described him.

Norway is deeply pro-Palestine, extreme anti-Israel. In the wake of the massacre, an Israelijournalist asked the Norwegian Ambassadorto Israel, whether Norwegians would now bemore sympathetic to the massacre of Israelimen, women and children by Palestinian terrorists. The Ambassador replied, “WeNorwegians view the occupation as the rea-son for terror against Israel. Whoever thinksthis way will not change his mind as a result ofthe attack in Oslo.”

Yes, the Jews in Israel are commonly viewedas the ‘occupier’. But in Britain, in America,we are viewed by Moslems as the ‘oppres-sor’, the exporters of worldwide terrorism! InBritain and Holland ‘multiculturalism’ hasfailed to integrate Moslems into Western soci-ety, and we are now watching a ‘parallel’society/Moslem emirates develop – whereextreme acts of resistance by fanatics onboth sides will take place.

Islam has never forgiven the West for disman-tling the centuries-old Middle East OttomanCaliphate after World War I. Recently anAmerican comedian likened Israel in size to asmall box of matches sitting in the middle of afootball field, representing the surroundingvast Arab territories. Israel is told, ‘Just give ushalf of the box of matches and there will bepeace.’ History shows such appeasementdoes not work. Nothing will ultimately satisfythe Islamic terrorists except the elimination ofthe State of Israel and the final destruction ofthe Jewish people. God help the ‘Christian’West too. Politics is not the answer.

What’s the answer? Preach the Gospel! Wehave to pray our way out! In our spiritualexperience when there is a crisis where wecannot find an answer and there is no wayout – only God is the solution! There is never acrisis for Jesus! God always has a plan and apurpose! Nothing can spoil the plan God has!I believe that when the world is in desperatecrisis, the sceptic, the unbeliever will be morewilling to listen to the Gospel!

descend into the deep to bring Christup again from the dead? No, the wordis near you, it’s in your mouth and inyour heart. It’s the word of faith whichwe preach – that if you will confessChrist with your mouth and believe inyour heart that God raised Him fromthe dead – you shall be saved!”Completely saved. Then every curse isbroken, every sin forgiven, the powerof the devil is bound! Christians cannothave demons, because if you believeChrist died for you, then He has bro-ken the curse of the devil and set youfree! I’m free and gloriously saved! Iconfess it! If you believe it, you mustsay it! Paul says, “The word is so closeto you; it’s the word which is in yourown mouth and in your own heart! –It’s the word of faith which I told you!”– There’s nothing more to add; it’s fin-ished! That’s it! When Jesus was hang-ing on the cross, in that last momentas He gave His life as a sacrifice foryour sin and mine, He said in triumph,“It is finished!” It’s done! Salvation iscomplete! The whole world canrepent! The whole world can come!

Through one man, Adam, came sinand the curse. And through one man,the second Adam, comes salvationand deliverance and blessing for allwho trust in Him! That’s the power ofthe Gospel! It is strength and powerand glory! It’s the Gospel of victory!That is why the Bible says that eventhe angels rejoice – when the sinnerscome in!

But this is the challenge: you cannoteffectively evangelise unless youyourself know the full reality of com-plete salvation. As a pastor manyyears ago, looking from the pulpit atmy congregation, I could not tell whowas saved and who was not! I waslooking for the reality of changed livesand it wasn’t there. Jesus said, right upuntil the time when He returns, thewheat and the tares will grow togeth-er and you won’t be able to tell thedifference (Matthew 13:24-30). Thereare many false teachings coming intothe Church and the danger is – I amspeaking from experience and from

what I am seeing – so often peopleare attracted by music, by what’s‘going on’, and the message is‘dripped’ into them bit by bit. ButJesus said, “You must be born again!”Without the new birth, total new birth,when the old man is dead and webecome a new creation in Christ –without that, you cannot enter theKingdom! It’s not a ‘drip-feed’. Jesussaid you do not put the new wine ofthe Gospel into old bottles! That is whyin Romans 6:3-11, Paul says: Whoeveris baptised into Jesus Christ is baptisedinto His death, buried with Him in bap-tism into death! But just as Christ wasraised up from the dead by the gloryof the Father, so are we raised up, outof the water! Just as, when Christ wasraised up out of the grave, He had aresurrection body, so when we cometo Christ and when we are symbolical-ly baptised in water, we come out asnew, as a re-creation! If we are deadwith Christ, we shall also live with Him!Just as Christ, being raised from thedead, dies no more and death has nomore dominion over Him – but now Helives, and lives for God – that is ourexperience! Born again! If any man isin Christ, he is a new creation, re-born,re-made!

This is why I preach with such fire, this iswhy we see so many miracles of heal-ing. I have experienced it for myself!The reason I could reach the holo-caust survivors in Israel in April this year(many of whom are Russian Jews) isbecause I could say, “You survivedthe holocaust. I spent a year, not inthe holocaust, but in one of your pris-ons under communism. And God setme free!” They understood. And I sayto the people who are sick, “I’ve hadcancer twice. Forty years ago Godhealed me of throat cancer. Nearlyten years ago, God healed me oflung cancer!” That’s why I can say, “Iknow! – I know because Jesus hashealed me!” You see, it works! If youknow, if you’ve got that evidence thatthe devil’s power in you is broken, hecan’t touch you! – If the Spirit of Christis in you, you can’t have demons! Iknow. I have been delivered. That is

14

There is power and authority in theGospel. That’s why Paul says inRomans 1:16, “I’m not ashamed of theGospel of Christ.” Why? Because it isthe power of God! The power is in theGospel we preach! The power is inyour mouth! In what you say! You canhave what you say... if you believewhat you say...! What is the Gospel?The Gospel is simply the message ofredemption, peace with God, the for-giveness of sin; it sets us free fromevery curse, from sin, and from sick-ness! The Gospel is simply the GoodNews! It is GOOD news!

You know what happened in Norwaythis summer – when a 32 year oldwhite boy exploded a bomb in frontof the government offices in the cen-tre of Oslo, killing seven; then wenthalf an hour’s journey to an islandwhere there was a youth camp andkilled about 70 of those young people.– This time it was not Islamic terrorism.No, this is the tragedy: the media saidabout this young man that he was a‘fundamental Christian’. That is howthey described him.

But that is why I am telling you: thismessage of the Gospel is more impor-tant now than it has ever been! Whenthe world outside sees the Christian asa danger (like this young man inNorway), it is because we are notpreaching the reality and power ofthe Gospel. Because if the world out-side saw the power of the Gospel inus, that would change everything! Thepower of the Gospel is so strong, itcan change nations. I have seen it!The only answer to the world’s prob-lems is Christ! I carry in me some of theheritage of the Welsh revival. The firehas not gone out! I have in me the fireand the power of God in my life, now!Wherever I go – in Israel, in Georgia, inLithuania, in Poland, in Holland – thefire of God is in me – every time Ipreach the Gospel!

The power of the Gospel is not some-thing difficult. Paul says in Romans10:6-10, “Who will ascend into Heavenand bring Christ down, or who will

why I preach with authority andpower! And the miracles confirm theGospel of deliverance and powerthat I am preaching! But how can welead others to this powerful salvationunless we ourselves are totally con-vinced of its power?!

I don’t heal anybody, but God does.Jesus said to His disciples, whilst I havebeen with you, you have asked Me foreverything. Soon I won’t be here withyou any more and you won’t be ableto ask Me for anything. You must askthe Father yourselves! Ask! In MyName! That’s the key! What Godwants you to have is a relationshipwith Him! Why did I have to pray foralmost a year in that communist prisonto get out? – Relationship! You can’tlearn in a Bible School what I learnedin a prison! It was the best year in mylife! I found God in a totally new wayin that prison, just as I found God in anew way with my lung cancer. That’swhy God allows these things, becausethey bring you closer to Him! I haven’tfinished learning yet. But I do haveeternal life – NOW!

Oh God, we need Jesus! Give us thepower to bring the sinner to Christ.Give us the power to touch govern-ments and nations. Raise up evangel-ists! Two hundred years ago You deliv-ered the nation of Britain from alcohol,from crime and from the FrenchRevolution – only by the preaching ofthe Gospel by the Wesleys. There isforgiveness for EVERY sin, TOTAL deliv-erance, PEACE WITH GOD! And if wesin, though we are a new creation, yetwe have a SAVIOUR, a legal advo-cate, who ever lives to make interces-sion for us! 1 John 2:1!

Oh God, raise up an Elijah who willpreach this Gospel with such powerthat nations will repent. It is eitherHeaven or hell. There is no other way,no other hope, outside of Christ. And,oh God, give us the faith to believethat this Gospel has changed OURlives !
