For example, I know a young lady, sixty years of age, who was diagnosed with cancer 4 months ago. This was a shock to her at first, but then her attitude was upbeat. She did what the doctor told her to do. She took her chemo treatments. During this time, there was a smile on her face and

Over the almost past half century my wife and I have ministered in over 125 countries seeing many thousands of people from every walk of life come to receive Christ. I have yet to meet one person who has been saved by the Grace of God say that they were sorry they became a Christian. That the day

— Saul was busy

DEMONS!
There was a time when I told the Lord that I would do whatever He wanted me to do EXCEPT CAST OUT DEMONS and do weird stuff like that with the occult. I now realise that Jesus' power and authority far exceeds that of demons. Oh yes, I believe that demons exist! You don't want to talk
