'Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned.' (Isaiah 43:1-2) 'Lamb of God' used by kind permission of Vinesong

All of us are important to Jesus; you are valuable in His sight. Jesus doesn't look upon your clothes, He doesn't look to see if you have money or prestige; your value to God is not based upon what you have acculated in life; you are valuable to Him because you are His child. In the sight of God nobody is an outcast or a reject. God loves you.  'Complete Restoration' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

There are many times in our lives when we need to cry out, "help!" And when you do, Jesus is there listening to your cry. The Bible says Jesus hears every cry from your heart: when you are in pain, when you are in difficulty, if you will cry out, "Jesus help me", He will answer you; even if it is a silent cry from your heart, God hears.  'It is well with my soul' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

In your time of need, call upon the Name of Jesus, He will answer you. The Psalmist said, 'I sought the Lord and He answered me: those who look to Him are radiant.' 'You answered me' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

We all want to receive God's blessing in our lives. So often we read in the Gospels how Jesus would visit people's homes; He would fellowship with them, taking time to understand the needs of the people around Him. It is the same in our lives today. Just as Jesus related to ordinary people as His friends, so He wants to be your friend too. He's concerned about you. 'Shepherd lead me' used by kind permission of Vinesong

Seven times King and Parliament called the United Kingdom to prayer during WWII. Seven times the whole nation turned out and filled the churches, including those who had not been to church in years and those who had never been. Each time God answered by a remarkable miracle of deliverance.  'Our Nation' & 'Fall afresh my Father' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

Are you so full of pain and sickness that you are deaf to the voice of Jesus; are you unable to hear when He is talking to you. Jesus loves you - He wants to heal you, but first He wants to forgive you and set you free from the hurts of the past. I want you to believe, to trust Jesus. I want you to be free from every emotional and physical pain. But first you need to learn how to talk to Him.  'Holy, You are Holy' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

How difficult it is to really believe; to take Jesus at His Word often requires a faith beyond our abililty to believe. I believe in prayer and in a God of miracles, but when I was diagnosed with lung cancer in December 2002, I was faced with a challenge: do I really believe God or not?

The disciples thought they knew who Jesus was: they had already worked with Him for some time and witnessed some of the most amazing miracles; they were the closest friends Jesus had. Yet something was to happen that night on the sea which caused them to question who Jesus really was; it was as if they had never known who He was before.  'Jesus, Blessed Jesus' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

All of us have been damaged, injured, by the sorrow in our lives; the pain, the fears, the sin in our lives which keep us from God, all these things mark us, they leave an imprint. But Jesus wants to come alongside you, to walk with you and ease your heartache. He is a constant companion along life's narrow way, the voice which guides and directs.  'Jesus Your love/Worship the Lord' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

You are never lost to Jesus; we might not be able to see Him because of the darkness surrounding us, but He knows exactly where we are. For so long, it was like there was a distance, as if we were separated. But now Jesus is so close, so near, you can talk to Him at any time. 'You once were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to Him because of what Jesus has done for you...' (Ephesians 2.13).  'Hiding' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

For so many people Jesus is some distant person; God Himself is distant and unapproachable. If I were to ask you, 'Where is God', some would say, 'To find God I would have to go to church', some would respond, 'God, He's up there'. But where is 'there'? I've got good news for you today, Jesus is called 'Emmanuel, God with us' - wherever you find yourself in life, God is there with you. 'Rest' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

I can tell you how close Jesus is to you: just breathe in, Jesus is as close as the air that fills your lungs. One prayer and He is always there with you. How can we touch Him? It is not a physical touch. You touch Him when you call His Name, when you talk to Him. Reach out to Him today. One word from Jesus can calm the storm, heal your broken heart. Jesus says to you today, 'Come unto Me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.' 'Another Touch' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

The hardest thing in your life and mine, when you are in the midst of a crisis, is to see Jesus. Because of the darkness surrounding you, God can seem distant, it prevents you from seeing Him. Wherever, whenever there is a crisis, a tragedy, sickness, sin, fear or pain, Jesus is there.  'The Father's Love' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

You can't have a miracle without first having a problem! If the disciples had not been in a sinking boat during a storm at sea, there would have been no miracle with Jesus walking on the water. If you want to see miracles, God is going to use your problem, your difficulty, your crisis in order to work the miracle. That crisis you have - that sickness, that cancer, that arthritis, that financial problem - God will use this to create a miracle.  'Holy You are Lord' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

God always answers prayer! But He does not work miracles alone. He needs people involved in them. When He miraculously fed 5,000, He first needed 5,000 hungry people, as well as a boy with five loaves and two fishes. In order that you receive your miracle, God needs you to become part of the answer.  'Psalm 5' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

I have learnt after more than 60 years of ministry that God always answers prayer. And I want to encourage you. God never fails - He cannot fail. But to get the answer at the right hour we have to be ready, we have to be obedient, and God will answer - at the last minute. 'God Answers Prayer' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

'If the light shall become night around me, even the darkness will not be dark to You; the night will shine like the day' (Ps 139:11-12). In your life and mine there are many times when we need the power of God to deliver us; God's timing is perfect, coming at the darkest hour, when the storm is the fiercest and our need the greatest. 'When it hurts so bad' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

I want to show you how you can experience real miracles in your own life. My God is the greatest, most wonderful God - He has all power and authority - for by Him all things were created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him, and are held together by Him. And the good news is, my God is your God.  'Our God Reigns' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

Whatever the storm in your life, whatever your circumstances, the Jesus of the Bible is right there with you. God is not just in Heaven; God so loved you, He sent His Son into the world to live as you live, so that He would understand and identify with you.  'O Bless the Lord' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com
