David Hathaway Teaches - book 1

God is your Father - You are His! I want you to know the truth of those words. You belong to Him and He belongs to you. I have learnt after more than 60 years of ministry that God always answers prayer. I want to encourage you: God never fails! Every one of us can be in a storm - but in the darkest moment when you are hurting more than you have hurt before, Jesus is there. He's not forgotten you. Jesus said, I will be with you always. Every day, every hour, in the middle of every storm, Jesus will come. In this book, I'll show you very simply how to trust God through every circumstance.I want to help you understand what it means to be 'born again' into the family of God.It's something very strong - it's a dynamic life, a revolutionary power through the finished work of salvation in Jesus Christ on the cross. Jesus said when you pray, say 'Our Father' - I want you to know the truth of those words. God is your Father and you are His child! The reality of our relationship with God is not in repeating prayers and phrases, it's in knowing Him. You have been adopted into His family!When Peter preached Christ crucified and risen from the dead, there was such conviction that the crowd asked him, What shall we do? He answered, Repent and be baptised. What does it mean to be baptised? We are buried with Christ in baptism in water, and raised with Him through faith. - We also need to be baptised in the Holy Spirit!Our faith is not just a theory, something we learn about - it is real and practical. Our God answers prayer - and I know He works miracles! It's no different from knowing that every morning the sun will get out of bed and show itself at my window. God works miracles every day - but it is for us to believe He can, and will in our lives!
