For believers today, the story of Hanukkah carries a powerful message of standing firm in the face of persecution.

God did sometimes ask His people to do some rather odd things as recorded in the Bible. It is possible He might ask us to do some strange things as well. But generally speaking, we have the whole of Scripture to give us directions and guidelines as to both proper speech and proper action.

I believe God wants all His people to enter the ‘promised land’, yet like Israel and Moses, there are areas of unbelief in our lives that will hinder us from entering. You may intellectually believe in His power, but do you also believe that He can and will do miracles for you?

We need to trust God in the dark. We need to keep seeking Him and having faith even when the questions pile up. And we also need to be sensitive to others as they continue on in their spiritual journey.

Australia has been connected historically, politically and spiritually to the Pacific region. Now, more than ever, God wants to bring Oceania together for the End Times harvest.

Around 200 of the King’s Harpists from all continents and many nations, including Israel, gathered together with worshippers from close to 150 nations at Amnun Beach on the shores of the Sea of Galilee to minister to the Great King.

At this time of year, we are reminded of how the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ offers those who turn to Him in faith and repentance newness of life in this world, but also eternal life with our own resurrection bodies. What a phenomenal reality Easter commemorates.

What actually happened to Jesus? The eyewitness reports from the Bible portray an incredible unfolding of terrible events. All four accounts from the Bible have been carefully combined to show you what happened in Jerusalem about 2000 years ago. This, then, is the story.

A ban on “magical healing” is the latest attempt by Indian authorities to crack down on Christian evangelism. What kind of government describes healing as an evil that needs to be prevented?

Easter is not the celebration of a dead hero but a living Saviour. Everything hinges on whether Jesus really rose again.

We must seek to get the biblical balance: neither denying that God can do miracles, even today, nor insisting that we can snap our fingers and get God to show up with the fireworks, whenever we want.

That the miraculous is real is a given for Christians, since we know that God exists, and that He interacts with our world. But the question that needs to be addressed here is this: Can some believers over-rely on signs and wonders at times?

Jesus demonstrated compassion and mercy wherever He went, and there was always fruit for every interaction. May His body of believers do likewise in these days of great trial.

It is the responsibility of those in leadership to recognise, foster and encourage each of those in their care in the discovery and healthy operation of all the spiritual gifts.
