## Resource

“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” (Matthew 7.24.) I have built my life upon the Rock, which is Jesus Christ. I do not follow personalities or preachers; my desire is to know Christ. When I have faced the storms of life – through imprisonment and cancer – I have called upon God. When I had throat cancer, I prayed, “If You want me to leave everything and become a full-time missionary and evangelist, I need a miracle!” That night, God healed me. I left behind my pastor’s salary and devoted myself fully to smuggling Bibles into Communist Europe. Later, by faith, I built the house where I still live today. At that time, seven houses were built along the same hillside road. Of those seven, mine is the only one that has not suffered from subsidence. Why? Because it was built on solid foundations. It is the same with our lives. We must build upon the solid foundation of Jesus Christ. When the storms come – and they will come – those who are built upon Him will not be shaken. But those who build on anything else will eventually fall. Watch the YouTube version https://youtu.be/WDNhmnvu1LU For more information on the Ministry of David Hathaway https://www.eurovision.org.uk
