Believe the Love

One day I was walking along a highway through a park praying and I asked a simple question, “Lord, what do You want me to tell Your people?” Without a moment’s hesitation, these words came ringing through my spirit and my mind:

Tell them how much I love them.

They were so filled with love and compassion that it defies words to express it. For days afterward all I could think of was 1 John 4:16. “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.”

Jesus Can Set Them Free

There are those who’ve said that some of the diseases that are on the rampage right now, diseases such as AIDS, are God’s way of punishing immoral people today. There is absolutely no scriptural basis for that!

God does not bring disease on the human race. In fact, if there’s anybody in heaven and earth who hates it, it’s Jesus. The devil is the one who’s trying to tell us otherwise. He’s promoting a lie, trying to get us to believe God is the one who’s inflicting these diseases on people because he knows that if the victims believe that, it will drive them further from God than ever. And that’s his aim.

Our Only Hope is Jesus

Twenty-one years ago, God said something to me that will mark my ministry forever. The only hope that any man has anywhere in the world is faith in Jesus Christ.

In light of what’s happening around us today, the truth of the statement is more painfully obvious than ever before. We are a generation with diseases no man can heal, with problems no man can solve. What fleeting successes we have are quickly overshadowed by new and greater crises.
