“I want to share with you what God has taught me through 70 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.
I am very emotional when I preach the Gospel. In Matthew 9, when Jesus said to the paralysed man who had been laid at His Feet, “Son, your sins are forgiven”, the religious Pharisees accused Him in their hearts, “Only God can forgive sin!” Knowing what was in their hearts, Jesus made this amazing declaration, “So that you may know that the Son of Man has Power on earth to forgive sin” – He turned to the paralysed man and commanded him – “Get up and walk!” Jesus, in His own words said that He healed the sick to PROVE that He could forgive sin.
When I first received the Holy Spirit, I had asked for the Gift of Faith – now I wanted to see how far God could/would reveal His Power – if I stepped out in faith. God has more miraculous Power available than any living person including Moses, Elijah, David and the Old Testament prophets has yet seen. Even the Apostles and first disciples in the New Testament have only tapped the surface.
The Bible says, ‘resist the devil and he will flee from you.’ I had found that God’s Power will defeat Satan every time, and I have gained the victory over the devil ever since. Many times, Satan looks as big and dangerous as Goliath did to David, but our God is greater and more powerful than any enemy who tries to stop us. I have the Holy Spirit in me, and He gives me the victory, and has done ever since that challenge on Beachy Head when I was only 14 years old.
When I was in prison for smuggling Bibles into the USSR I was sentenced to what could have been ten years. I was not allowed a Bible, but I reminded the Lord that in Acts 16 when Paul and Silas were imprisoned, they began to praise the Lord, He sent an earthquake and freed them. By faith I asked the Lord to do the same for me – He answered – and opened my prison doors by a miracle!
When I had cancer in my throat many years ago, I said to the Lord, “If You want me to go to the USSR, I want a miracle.” God worked that miracle and I had to leave my home, my security, and go to the USSR!
When I was in prison for smuggling Bibles into Czechoslovakia I was sentenced to what could have been ten years. I was not allowed a Bible, but I reminded the Lord that in Acts 16 when Paul and Silas were imprisoned, they began to praise the Lord, He sent an earthquake and freed them. By faith I asked the Lord to do the same for me – He answered – and opened my prison doors by a miracle!
I know Jesus! I am the living evidence of the Power of God. In 1964 when I had throat cancer, God miraculously healed me: the doctors saw the scar where the Hand of God cut the cancer out of my throat. At the empty tomb, the angel of the Lord said, 'Don't be afraid... Come and see the place where He lay!' I want to tell you, don't be afraid, trust Jesus! Then accept the invitation of Jesus, and experience the miracle of new life for yourself.
The most important thing in this life is not physical healing; it is the question of sin and what you do about it. There IS forgiveness, there IS healing from sin, a way into the Kingdom – through the love of God, who sent Jesus Christ His Son to die on a cross, to pay the price of your sin, to forgive you, to break the curse of the devil and set you free.
We talk about faith, we have to have faith! I laugh, because my wife used to complain that I jumped into bed. But that was an ‘act of faith’ that the bed wouldn’t collapse! We all have to use an element of faith. If you get in a car and somebody else is driving it, you need faith! Faith in its simplistic sense is part of everyday life! It’s the trust you have. You trust people, you have to trust your doctor, the police, your government – though often they fail us – they are only human. But if faith is trust, faith in God is faith in the unfailing God!
