“God is not a man that He should lie, neither a son of man that He should repent (change His mind) – what He said, shall He not do it, and what He has spoken will He not make it happen?!” God cannot lie, He cannot change what He has said.
How God turned pain into praise
In 1972, when I was in prison for Bible smuggling, my heart was full of desperation and pain. One day, as I was praying, a miracle happened: it was as if Heaven had opened, the cell was filled with a brilliant light, all the angels of Heaven seemed to crowd into that cell, and I began to praise and worship the Lord. I got to my feet and began to run around that cell singing, “Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee, how great Thou art!” The glory of God filled my heart, changing me, the sadness and the pain were gone! I was locked in a prison cell, yet I was in the presence of God, experiencing the glory of God, something greater than I had ever known in a church – it was as if I was transported into Heaven!

Understanding the Authority of Jesus | Lessons from Matthew Chapters 4-8
It wasn’t just the centurion who recognised the authority of Jesus, but the ordinary people, back up on that mountain in Chs 5,6 &7, THEY saw the authority He had! You see, the scribes studied and taught ‘from the Book’. But even the ordinary people saw that there’s a vast difference between ‘teaching from the Book’ and speaking with AUTHORITY as Jesus did – not from intellectual study, but from a life lived with practice and experience. Matthew 7.28-29.
Christian Freedom & Self-Discipline | Lessons from 1 Corinthians 9
In this chapter, the apostle Paul the Apostle defends his rights as an apostle but explains why he chooses not to use those rights, for the sake of the Gospel. Paul teaches that Christian freedom and rights should be willingly set aside when necessary for the sake of others and the advancement of the Gospel. I'm 93 - I do everything to win some by all possible means - I run to win the crown that will last forever: "Lord, keep me faithful to the end!" We're all in this race to win the reward we will receive in the Kingdom.

Babes in Christ: Understanding Spiritual Growth in 1 Corinthians 3
Even today we too easily follow men, rather than Christ! I don’t follow men, even though I grew up in the days of some very great Pentecostal leaders in Britain - among them Evangelist George Jeffreys, Smith Wigglesworth. I don’t look to those men, even though when I was born Jeffreys wanted to adopt me as his son. I don’t want to follow any man. I want to follow Jesus.
1 Corinthians 1 Explained | Unity, the Cross, and God’s Wisdom
I can never stop thanking God for all the wonderful gifts he has given you, now that you are Christ’s: he has enriched your whole life. He has helped you speak out for him and has given you a full understanding of the truth; what I told you Christ could do for you has happened! Now you have every grace and blessing; every spiritual gift and power for doing his will are yours during this time of waiting for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. And he guarantees right up to the end that you will be counted free from all sin and guilt on that day when he returns. God will surely do this for you, for he always does just what he says, and he is the one who invited you into this wonderful friendship with his Son, even Christ our Lord. (1 Corinthians 1, TLB.)
