The history of the Huguenots

The Huguenots were members of the Protestant Reformed Church of France (or French Calvinists) from the sixteenth to the seventeenth centuries. Since the seventeenth century, Huguenots have been commonly designated "French Protestants," the title being suggested by their German co-religionists or "Calvinists." Protestants in France were inspired by the writings of John Calvin in the 1530s and the name Huguenots was already in use by the 1560s. By the end of the 17th century, roughly 200,000 Huguenots had been driven from France during a series of religious persecutions. They relocated primarily in England, Switzerland, the Dutch Republic, the German Electorate of Prussia, the German Palatinate, and elsewhere in Northern Europe, as well as to what is now South Africa and to North America.

A lecture by Bishop Michael Reid

Trials are essential growth classes

We need to realize every trial we pass through is a gift from God, so we need to ask the Lord for the ability to recognize that trials are essential growth classes.

Many have been falsely taught if they believe, walk in the Spirit, keep praising and quote scripture verses, prosperity and trouble free experiences will be for them!!!

Join the real world of those face and overcome trials by FAITH IN JESUS!!"

Bishop Michael Reid

Question to ministers

Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:"(Acts:2v22)

Question to ministers???? Miracles, wonders and signs which God did by Jesus revealed God's approval, how about His ministers today???

Bishop Michael Reid

The unsearchable things of God

Jer:33v3."Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."

Although many people fumble in the darkness, overcome by the circumstances of life, we Christians can be assured that every problem we encounter contains the seed of God's solution. He will never fail us, nor forsake... us, but will hear our call and answer us!!! GLORY!!!

Bishop Michael Reid

Christ speaks the truth

"The devil confronted JESUS when He was on earth with what he has-- lies, and JESUS calmly retorted with what He has-- truth.

When the devil presents a discouraging situation before you, you should present God's better side of the story, because for every lie of the devil, God has a true and better side, He being the author and manifestation of truth!!!

We are more than conquerors!!!GLORY!!!"

Bishop Michael Reid

God will bless the work of your hands

"Many people are being taught in churches to expect so much from God, even though they want to work so little to accomplish their expectations!!! Let us faithfully teach that God will bless the WORK of our hands, AND GIVE INCREASE!!!

If you believe you only need to claim promises and repeat scriptures to get what you want, you are deluded and missing God's WILL for YOUR LIFE!!!"

Bishop Reid

Blessed are the poor "in spirit"

Jesus talks about the true children of God being "poor in spirit" - Talking about an inward poverty in the heart & soul of a Christian.

Blessed are you when you suffer this spiritual affliction for Christ's sake.

Bishop narrowly escaped death after suffering a heart attack

By iain johnson editorial@gazettenews.co.uk

BISHOP Michael Reid has narrowly escaped death after suffering a heart attack, which he claims was caused by stress after three years of "appalling" treatment by his former church.

The 67-year-old, who was allegedly "sacked" from the Peniel Church – now Trinity – in 2008 after admitting to an affair with a member of the church staff, collapsed at his home in Coxtie Green Road on April 16.

Now under orders to rest for at least one month, the preacher has pointed the finger at his former colleagues, who he claims have tried to harass him and his wife out of their home, just two doors from the place of worship.

He also believes that discovering his wife Ruth had been diagnosed with a life-threatening disease around the same time was partly responsible.

He said: "My mother had a quadruple heart bypass so there may be a genetic link but the stress of the last three years has had an effect on my physical being, which is appalling really, the way they have treated my wife and I.

"I need to let my body recover, which means take it easy for a month.

"I need to take medication to keep my blood thin which is normal when you have a heart attack and they gave me a diet which I am keeping to."

The non-smoker claims to have been in an ongoing battle with Trinity Church leaders who he says are trying to evict him and his wife from Testimony House, where they have lived since 1992.

Although the property is owned by the church, he claims trustees are reneging on an agreement that they could live there for the rest of their lives.

But despite the health scare and the news that Ruth is suffering from a serious illness, Mr Reid has no intention of moving away from his "enemies".

He said: "I am not a man who ever leaves a battlefield.

"They'll have to bury me, which they won't, I'll attend their funeral, they won't attend mine.

"This is my area, it's not theirs, it's mine.

"I expect to make a full recovery and have another 20 years of living to prove my enemies wrong."

A house guest of the former minister, Adrian Simmons, responded to a plea from Mr Reid to get help after he began feeling unwell.

A first responder arrived within minutes, followed shortly by an ambulance crew. They resuscitated the bishop, who had reportedly stopped breathing for more than a minute at one point.

Following another attack while in transit, the medics changed their planned route to Basildon Hospital for Queen's Hospital in Romford to save time.

Early on Sunday, Mr Reid was transferred to the London Chest Hospital in Bethnal Green before moving to Basildon, where he spent four days recovering.

Shortly after being discharged, Mr Reid suffered a relapse, forcing him to return to hospital for a short time.

Personal agendas

2.TIM:4V3-4."The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts they shall heap to themselves teachers,----- they shall turn away their ears from the truth--turned to fables."

People have their own agendas, and cannot bear God's Word being their guide. We need to turn them from spurious doctrinal gimmicks and fables to the LIVING WORD OF GOD!!!!!

A sermon by Bishop Michael Reid

The will of the Father

1-John:2v16-17."Everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever."

Doing the will of God should be the only 'motivation' in our lives, pleasing our Father in all things!!!! GLORY TO GOD!!!

Bishop Michael Reid

An audience with a ruler...?

"Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe. Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from the LORD that man gets justice. The righteous detest the dishonest; the wicked detest the upright."

We need God's backing and authority for the church, not seeking dishonest political support for God's work!!!

BISHOP REID

Darkness & light

"To seek to be friends with those who will not be the friends of Christ is to be a traitor to our LORD. Darkness and light can never be brought together by talk. Some things are not negotiable!!!

A smiling, congenial, asexual religious mascot, always agreeing is not found in the scriptures of truth!!!"

Bishop Reid

Free from Hell

"If God dealt with us according to our lives, all would deservedly go to hell!!! Thank God for His Love and Grace proclaimed throughout the GOSPEL!!!!

We so need to hear God's solution to the needs of man today!!! God's saving power bringing Healing, Restoration, Deliverance, Compassion, and Unity to His Body, the church, in this age!!! God's Grace!!!!"

Bishop Reid

Walk in the light

"When you let the devil's lie take hold of your mind you begin to seek out supportive views, backsliders soon become your advisers and strengthen the lies that snared you. A false 'truth' strangles your ability to respond to or seek counsel from a man full of the Holy Spirit, and you slide further into darkness."

Time to awake, for your Light has come, and the Glory of the LORD is RISEN. AMEN!!!

Bishop Michael Reid

"Divine justice satisfied" - The Devil lost!!!

This sermon will explain what really happened when Satan tried to destroy God's plan for Mankind.

Satan thought by using Man's free will he could out smart God in the Garden of Eden, but Satan hadn't taken into account that God would take on the form of Man (Jesus Christ) and overcome all the power of the enemy.



Great sermon on Salvation - Spread this teaching to all the world and shame the devil.

Bishop Reid back on Christian TV

On March 2011 Bishop Michael Reid's first LIVE TV Show was broadcasted since the Church split in 2008 (At peniel Church).
It's been along awaited to see Michael & Ruth Reid back on TV, who share The Word of God, and show wonderful miracles to bring glory to God's name.

It was the media team's joy at What God Can Do Ministry, to see once again the miracle footage back on TV. Because they know that God's glory is revealed through miracles.
