The Bible school offers a two-year diploma and off-campus correspondence courses. Among its many other outreaches, the church ministers God’s Word and hot meals daily to the poor through New Life Soup Kitchen.

Brother Hayes is also founder and president of New Life Maternity Home, a ministry dedicated to the spiritual, physical and financial needs of young girls during pregnancy; Campus Challenge, an evangelistic outreach that distributes Christian literature on college campuses across America; Street Reach, a ministry dedicated to runaway teens located in Daytona Beach, Florida; and Children’s Home, an orphanage home and education center located in India.

Known internationally for his dynamic exposition of the Word of God, Brother Hayes spends most of his time teaching and ministering God’s deliverance and healing power

You can receive miracles, and you can have authority over sickness and disease. Know this once and for all: all bad things that come to visit you are from the devil—all bad things! They come from hell—not from heaven.

The Bible says all good things come down from the Father of lights to you.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17

That means God sends good and perfect gifts from heaven down to you. Not one heartache has ever come from God. Not one weak day or one defeated moment has ever come to you from heaven. God knows no defeat or sickness. Heaven knows no pain.

I’ve been to heaven twice, and I can hardly wait to get there for the last time and forever. The air is full of peace. There is no sickness in heaven. There are no worms in the apples in heaven. The grass is about ten times greener there than it is on earth. You think you’ve got beautiful flowers here? I’ve got news for you—in heaven, those beautiful flowers never die. There are no seasons in heaven—no dying, shivering, or suffering. There is only life.

Everything in heaven is alive. Everything is full of life, power, and love. It saturates you all the time. Heaven is not a misty place out in the air, where a bunch of little spirits float around wondering who they are. It’s a real world!

When you walk around heaven, you can see rivers, gulfs, trees, and mansions. And you can walk in on Sunday morning and hear Jesus preach! You think you’re hearing good messages now, just wait until you get to heaven. Glory to God!

But right now I’m excited about the good things from heaven that we can enjoy in this life. Good gifts, perfect gifts are coming down from heaven, from the Father of lights to you.
