We’ve got to search for God and find Him right where we are! If you think my life as an evangelist is easy, I can disillusion you! Some people say they want to be like me, but if they knew the truth, they wouldn’t want to! When I had the lung cancer I had a very busy schedule – don’t ask me how much I fasted, how much I prayed. When you know you have only a short time to live, you learn how to pray!

By my bed I keep my praying Bible, where God talks to me and I talk to God. When I had the cancer I would wake up troubled in the night, pick up my praying Bible and God would speak to me, comfort me and I would go back to sleep. I used to say, ‘If You’ve finished with me, just tell me. But if You have a whole new life in front of me and want me to get back out there in Russia, with a new power and a new anointing, to see things I’ve never seen before, then I want You to answer me and heal me. I haven’t seen Your real Power and Your Glory yet, and if you will let me see it, Lord I want You to work a miracle.’ And He did!

We have a covenant relationship with God. It’s not simply based on our faith which is weak and can fail, but a covenant which cannot fail or be broken. When you come to Christ, you enter into a covenant relationship with God, signed and sealed by the Blood of Christ.
