“I want to share with you what God has taught me through 75 years of ministry.” Teaching and videos by David Hathaway to encourage and uplift faith. If you need healing, it is in the Name of Jesus. If you need a miracle, it is through the power of faith. Whatever you need is found through faith in Jesus.
My lifelong commission is simple: preach the Gospel. That is what Peter and John did, that is what the Apostle Paul did, and that is what I have dedicated my life to doing. But as I travel – most recently returning from our National Day of Prayer in Ukraine – I find that so many sincere believers struggle with an issue that the New Testament makes completely clear: the undeniable connection between the Gospel and the miraculous power of God.
I am looking for revival, for the Fire of the Holy Spirit, for the Power of God. Fire is mentioned many times throughout the Bible. Around 90 references to fire are directly linked to God, and on 11 occasions God answered by fire. Even at 94 years of age, I am still seeking more Fire, more Power, and a deeper experience of God.
Our God is about to do great things! Biblically, God’s power never diminishes – for those of us seeking Him, it’s as if His power actually increases, as we seek Him more and more.
In a time of national calamity, Joel 2.21, 23 declares: “Do not be afraid, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the Lord has done great things... Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for He has given you the autumn rains because He is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.”
Throughout the Bible, prophets, priests, and apostles were driven by a divine purpose. They were people of vision. Vision gives direction, purpose, and perseverance in all that we do. Scripture says, “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it’” (Isaiah 30.21).
What God has spoken to me has directed my entire life. He has always given me His timing – revealing things that could only be accomplished at a specific moment in His plan.
I have always believed the prophecies in the Bible, Joel 2, God’s Promise of the former and latter rain. I believed that the first outpouring of the Holy Spirit was on that first Pentecost, but that we can and should experience the second Pentecost now. Although I had received my personal Baptism by the Holy Spirit aged 14, I wanted something greater, the promise of Joel 2.
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!
I am determined, TODAY God will pour out His Holy Spirit on ALL flesh, and ALL who call on the Name of the Lord will be delivered. He has promised, He HAS to do it… This is why I can go to any country where there has been no revival and EXPECT God to fulfil His Promise to pour out His Spirit on whoever, on ALL flesh.
I want to challenge you: God has called you! We don’t all have to be preachers, but the fact is that we are saved to live for God. I want to emphasise that God called me, I did not choose to serve God. Jesus said in His own words, ‘You did not choose me, I chose you.’ He called us in order that we might serve Him, and I believe that He called every single born-again believer to serve Him. And once you are called into service you will need the Holy Spirit’s fire and power, because you cannot make it on your own!
