354 - How to Measure our Walk with God

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 18:06:00 -0700

This podcast focuses on how believers should measure their Spiritual walk against God's nature rather than comparing themselves to one another. To measure accurately, one must understand God's character as revealed in Scripture: God is light [1 John 1:5], righteous [1 John 1:29], love [1 John 4:8], life [1 John 5:11-12], truth [John 17:17], and goodness [Romans 11:22]. I emphasize that this process begins by being born again as a "new creation" through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ [2 Corinthians 5:17]. By using God's Word as a mirror, Christians can reflect God's image and grow "from glory to glory" (2 Corinthians 3:18) as Jesus, "the author and finisher of our faith" perfects our lives (Hebrews 12:1-2).

Drawing from the book of First John, I share seven (7) specific steps for measuring Christian behavior: FIRST: Walking in the light [1 John 1:6-7], SECOND: Admitting and confessing sin [1 John 1:8-9], THIRD: Obeying God's will [1 John 2:3-4], FORTH: Imitating Christ [1 John 2:6], FIFTH: Loving Others [1 John 2:7-10], SIXTH: Rejecting love for the world [1 John 2:15], and SEVENTH: Proving Christ is righteous by abiding in Him [1 John 2:27-29]. I specifically caution believers to avoid "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life" (1 John 2:16). The ultimate goal of self-measurement is to allow the anointing of the Holy Spirit living in us to empower one's actions, insuring that believers live a pure, victorious life and is not ashamed at the coming of the Lord. Join me as we measure our walk together knowing that only through the power of Christ can we be all that we are called to be. Selah!

351 - How to Prosper

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 18:04:00 -0700

In this enriching episode, I teach that God desires his children to prosper and walk in health, which I define not as excessive luxury or "multimillion-dollar homes," but as an abundant supply of resources to meet one's obligation to advance the Gospel. True Biblical wealth is rooted in the covenant of Abraham, as Deuteronomy 8:18 states that God gives His people the power to prosper specifically to establish His covenant on earth. Rather than seeking riches for personal vanity, believers are encouraged to live a moderate life and use their resources to "put more into the kingdom of God" and minister to the world. This provision is guaranteed through Philippians 4:19, which promises that God will supply every need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Walking in this prosperity is conditional and requires believers to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, trusting that material necessities like food and shelter will be added [Matthew 6:33]. Central to this process is meditating on God's Word day and night, a practice outlined in Joshua 1:8 and Psalm 1 that builds faith and creates an "inner image" of success in the soul. As the soul [mind, will and emotions] prosper through renewing the mind and fellowship with God, eternal health and wealth naturally follow [3 John 2].

Finally, believers must be diligent doers of the Word, hearkening to God's voice as described in Deuteronomy 28 to access that blessing of obedience and remain free from the "curse of the law" through Christ's redemption [Galatians 3:13]. Join me as I delve deeper into the subject of divine prosperity for your success both personally and in ministry. Selah!

349 - How to Have Success

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 18:02:00 -0700

In this uplifting episode, I outline a Biblical path to success rooted in Psalm 37, emphasizing that while God provides everything needed for a successful life, believers must fulfill their part through four specific actions. FIRST, one must trust in the Lord [Psalm 37:3], which involves moving away from worrying or "fretting" about evildoers to finding bold security and confidence in God's Word. SECOND, believers are encouraged to delight themselves in the Lord [Psalm 37:4], enjoying His fellowship and setting aside busyness to find true fulfillment. THIRD, success requires committing one's way to Him [Psalm 37:5], a term I define as "rolling away" problems like a ball so they no longer weigh you down, and FORTH, one must rest and wait patiently [Psalm 37:7], practicing stillness and silence before God.

By following these steps, God promises to handle the "evildoers," who might otherwise cause irritation or envy, as they will eventually be cut down like grass [Psalm 37:1-2]. For the righteous person -- the one who is mature and upright -- the ultimate reward of success is an abundance of peace and having the desires of the heart fulfilled through a relationship with God [Psalm 37:4, 11, 37]. This episode highlights that a humble person who trusts God's inheritance will not be forsaken, even in times of famine and will receive strength and deliverance from the Lord [Psalm 37:19, 25, 39-40]. Ultimately, true success is not found in material riches alone, but in the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome the cares of the world, while resting in God's protection [1 Peter 5:6-7]. Join me as we delve into these Scriptures and more for an exciting time studying God's Word. Selah!

343 - How to Have Revival

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 18:00:00 -0700

In this episode, I define revival as "bringing back to life" or returning to a healthy, vigorous and flourishing condition after a period of decline. Drawing from the central Scripture of 2 Chronicles 7:14, I outline a 4 part "formula" for revival: God's people must humble themselves, pray, seek God's face and turn from their wicked ways. This process is not merely a scheduled church meeting but a spontaneous, internal transformation that requires believers to be "doers of the word" rather than just "hearers," as cautioned in James 1:21-25. True revival involves a dual process: the deep public confession of sins followed by a profession of renewed faith in God.

To experience this transformation, believers must put away "doubtful habits" and "lay aside every weight" that hinders their Spiritual progress, as instructed in Hebrews 12:1-2. I emphasize the necessity of being "real" and "pliable" with both God and fellow believers, rejecting a self-righteous mask of perfection to instead "Confess your faults one to another . . ." (James 5:16) and "Bear one another's burdens . . ." (Galatians 6:2). I share how historical evidence, such as the 1904 Welsh Revival, demonstrates that when these conditions are met, the impact extends beyond the church to transform society, resulting in reduced crime and healed communities.

Ultimately, God has provided forgiveness and salvation in Christ to those who approach Him in humility, as promised in 1 John 1:9 and 1 Peter 5:6-7. Join me as I share these Scriptures and more, while believing that God is doing a new thing in your heart and life. Selah!

342 - How to Build Your House

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 13:09:33 -0700

In this episode, I use the physical process of construction as an analogy for building Christian character and Spiritual growth. Drawing from Luke 6:46-49 and Matthew 7:24-27, I emphasize that a solid Spiritual life must be founded upon the "Rock," which is Jesus Christ, achieved by both hearing and doing His word. A life built on this foundation remains unshakable during the "floods" and "storms" of life, whereas building on "sand" -- representing a life of not listening to or doing God's word -- leads to great ruin. This Spiritual building process begins by entering the "straight gate" and walking the "narrow way" described in Matthew 7:13-14, rather than the broad road of the world.

Beyond the foundation, I outline several essential steps for construction, including choosing the right "neighbors" by being wary of false prophets and seeking those who produce good fruit, as instructed in Matthew 7:15-20. The "blueprint" for the house is the Word of God, which represents His will for the believer's life. The "main structure" should be built with "precious things" like gold and silver -- Spiritual treasures that can withstand the "fire" of judgment -- rather than worldly "wood, hay and stubble". Finally, the " finishing touches" involve laying aside sin and looking to Jesus as the "author and finisher" of our faith, according to Hebrews 12:1-2. Ultimately, this diligent work on one's earthly "Spiritual house" prepares the believer for an eternal house in heaven, not made with hands. Join me as we delve into building your house for the glory of God to shine forth into the world. Selah!

341 - How to Get Help

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 16:32:17 -0800

In this episode, I share that true help is found exclusively in Jesus Christ, addressing both physical ailments and, more critically, spiritual sickness. Drawing from Matthew 9:27-31, I recount the story of two blind men who sought healing, noting that while physical blindness is a "bad disease," a spiritual blindness to the Kingdom of God -- as prophesied in Isaiah -- is far worse because it is rooted in sin and death. I explain that these men recognized Jesus as the "Son of David," the prophesied Messiah who came to rescue humanity and "bruise the head of the serpent," fulfilling the words of prophets like Jeremiah and David, who spoke of God sending His Word to heal.

To receive this help, I outline a specific path modeled by the blind men: following Jesus, crying out for mercy, and confessing faith with one's mouth. I stress that faith is the essential condition for transformation, citing Romans 10:17, which states that "faith cometh by hearing the word". The climax of the message focuses on Jesus' question, "Believe ye that I am able to do this?" and the subsequent healing based on their affirmative response: "According to your faith, be it unto you" (Matthew 9:27). I conclude that when a person is born again, their spiritual eyes are finally opened to see the love and beauty of Christ, leading to a transformed life and an irrepressible desire to share Jesus with others, like the two blind men, who ". . . spread the news about Him in all that country" (Matthew 9:31). Join me as we delve into this inspiring message to build your faith in the healing power of the Word of God. Selah!

85 - Witnessing the Kingdom - Acts #7

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 18:18:00 -0800

In this final episode in the Acts of the Apostles on witnessing the Kingdom, I share how the Kingdom is eternal, where ". . . those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:17, NKJV). Because the Kingdom of God is within us, we have the Spiritual power to overcome Satan, who is "diametrically opposed" to God's realm. The Word of God is our offensive wea pon to cast out devils by the "finger of God" (Luke 11:20), and "casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God" (2 Corinthians 10:5, KJV). Ultimately, the Kingdom isn't defined by physical things like meat and drink, but by righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17), allowing us to maintain a heavenly citizenship while walking on earth.

I share how we possess the same creative power that God used to speak the world into existence through the Spirit of faith. This faith requires us to believe and then speak, as "our words have creative power" when spoken in love. "We having the same spirit of faith . . . I believe, and therefore have I spoken" (2 Corinthians 4:13, KJV). Faith serves as the "substance of things hoped for" and the "evidence of things not seen", mirroring how the worlds were framed by the Word of God (Hebrews 11:1, 3). We are to "walk by faith and not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7), focusing on the eternal realm rather than the temporal, physical world. By looking at the things not seen, we recognize that our afflictions are merely "light" and "for a moment" compared to the eternal weight of glory (2 Corinthians 4:17-18). Join me as we sum up this powerful series with an anointing from God's that will be contagious to your Spiritual life. Selah!

84 - Witnessing the Kingdom - Acts #6

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 18:16:00 -0800

In this continuing episode in the Acts of the Apostles, I define the Kingdom of God as a spiritual realm of eternal love where God lives and reigns forever. This kingdom isn't visible to the physical senses but is accessed through the eye of faith, which allows believers to see and operate according to God's Word rather than circumstances. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 4:13-18, I emphasize that while the "outward man" is perishing, the "inward man" is being renewed daily through God's Word, allowing believers to view light affections as temporary compared to the eternal weight of glory. And by renewing our mind, we can move from a worldly perspective to a spiritual one, becoming "love beings" who create and speak life just as God does.

I share that Jesus Christ brought His kingdom to earth and was the only one to perfectly fulfill the Abrahamic covenant, demonstrating the life of blessings promised in Deuteronomy, chapter 28. Also, because of Jesus' death, burial, resurrection and outpouring of the Holy Spirit, believers are now recreated in God's image and seated in the "heavenly places," far above worldly powers and principalities, as described in Ephesians 1:19-21; 2:6. In this eternal kingdom, believers are called to reign as kings, living in a "spiritual time zone" where the pressures and clocks of the world lose their meaning, replaced by peace, joy and liberty found in God's presence. Join me as we grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ and learn to live with a daily perspective of the Kingdom of God. Selah!

83 - Wintessing the Kingdom - Acts #5

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 18:14:00 -0800

In this insightful episode, I continue in the Acts of the Apostles on the Kingdom of God, focusing on the transformative power of God's "Word of Love". I explain that faith comes by hearing God's word and believing the message of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection [Romans 10:17]. How God's love is a creative force, just as His Word created light in the beginning, His love recreates believers spiritually in His own image [2 Corinthians 4:6]. Through this rebirth, He lifts us out of the "kingdom of Satan" and into the "Kingdom of God" [John 3:3; Colossians 1:13-14]. Also, I emphasis that mankind's relationship with God was broken by sin in the Garden of Eden, but the cross restores us to righteousness, wisdom and life so we can walk as Jesus walked (Genesis 1:26; Ephesians 1:4; 1 John 2:6].

To live effectively in the Kingdom of God, we must renew our minds so our thoughts and language align with the Word of God rather than the world [Romans 12:1-2; 2 Corinthians 10:5-6]. This spiritual "reprogramming" allows us as Christians to speak a "pure language" [Zephaniah 3:9] and practice "unconscious love," which naturally produces fruit after its own kind -- overcoming pride, fear, sickness and the works of the devil just as the apostles did in the book of Acts [Mark 1:14; Acts 1:3]. By abiding in Christ as the "true vine" and keeping the commandments to love one another, we manifest God's power and experience a life of full joy and victory [John 15:1-12; 1 John 3:16; 5:4-5]. Join me as we learn to walk in the Kingdom of God, manifesting His love to all those around us. Selah!

81 - Witnessing the Kingdom - Acts #4

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 18:12:00 -0800

In this episode, I continue my series in Acts on the Kingdom of God, which is essentially a Kingdom of Love, where believers walk in a "love realm" that allows God's power to operate through them. Central to this walk is the preaching of the gospel -- specifically the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus -- which is described as the ultimate manifestation of God's love being shared with the world. This message functions as a Spiritual seed that, when sown in the heart [Mark 4:14-20], and "watered" by the Word [Ephesians 5:26], produces new life and the "fruit of love" [Galatians 5:22-23].

However, Jesus warns us that in the latter times, iniquity will cause this "agape" love to wax cold in many, which will hinder the presence and power of God within the church [Matthew 24:12]. To develop a transformative life, the Word of God must be preached, heard, believed, received and acted upon. This progression creates a faith that "works by love" (Galatians 5:6), and believers who are "doers of the word" rather than just hearers, will avoid being like a man who forgets his own image in a mirror [James 1:22-25].

Throughout the book of Acts, the Christian life is identified as "the way," representing the path of salvation and love that believers followed despite intense opposition [Acts 9:2; 16:17; 24:14]. By being rooted and grounded in love [Ephesians 3:17], and meditating the Word day and night, believers become like "trees of life," manifesting the nature of Christ and experiencing Spiritual prosperity [Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:2-3]. Join me as we delve into the Scriptures more fully. Selah?

80 - Witnessing the Kingdom - Acts #3

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 18:10:00 -0800

In this episode, I continue my series in the Acts of the Apostles exploring the transformative power of the resurrection of Christ, and the arrival of the Holy Spirit as depicted in Acts chapter 2. I emphasize that Jesus' primary mission was to destroy the works of the devil, a victory achieved through His spiritual death and subsequent resurrection [Colossians 2:15], which "loosed the pains of death" [Acts 2:24]. I share that before Pentecost, the disciples often lacked spiritual power, but the decent of the Holy Spirit provided an "unction" or "anointing" that allowed them to perform the same miraculous works as Jesus [1 John 2:20, 27]. This experience of being "born again" marks a transition from being spiritually dead to spiritually alive, where the believer's spirit is recreated to be perfect, just like Jesus.

This episode further details the specific role of the apostles as witnesses of the resurrection, a task defined as testifying to the facts of what they have seen and heard. Throughout the book of Acts, the preaching of the death, burial and resurrection -- the logos or living Word -- consistently resulted in thousands of conversions and physical healings, such as the man at the temple gate [Acts 3:1-16]. I challenge listeners to renew their minds by aligning their thoughts with the Word of God rather than worldly doubt. When we "compute" our minds to the Word and speak it boldly, it becomes "medicine" to the body, prevailing over the influence of the devil and allowing the life of Jesus to manifest in our daily actions [1 John 3:7-8]. Join me as we delve into God's Word for your edification and well being. Selah!

79 - Witnessing the Kingdom - Acts #2

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 18:08:00 -0800

In this uplifting episode, I continue my series in the Acts of the Apostles explaining how believers are lifted out of the kingdom of hell and into the Kingdom of Heaven through Christ's resurrection [Colossians 1:13-14]. To enter God's Kingdom, one must be born again [John 3:1-8], a Spiritual transformation that allows a person to recognize their identity as "Kingdom kids" and the "righteousness of God in Christ" [2 Corinthians 5:21]. I emphasis that believers must be baptised in the Holy Spirit to receive power to overcome the devil's opposition and to fulfill our obligation as temples of the Holy Spirit [Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8].

Our core mission as empowered believers is to serve as active witnesses of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, which effectively destroyed the works of the devil [1 John 3:8]. We must move beyond a "mental assent" of the Scriptures and become "doers of the word" [James 1:22-25], imitating Jesus' ministry of healing the sick and casting out devils. By recognizing that the devil was defeated at the cross, the body of Christ can exercise authority in the Name of Jesus to take dominion as if Christ were physically present [Acts 3:1-10]. Ultimately, this episode calls for Christians to wake up to their resurrected position and demonstrate their faith through corresponding actions. Selah!

78 - Witnessing the Kingdom - Acts #1

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 18:06:00 -0800

In this powerful episode, I introduce a seven part series in the Acts of the Apostles on living in the Kingdom of God or Satan's kingdom. We use our five senses in both, but in God's Kingdom, we walk by faith, not by sight [2 Corinthians 5:7]. In Acts, we find what happens when we add the Holy Spirit to our faith. In Luke, we saw how Jesus defeated the works of the Devil, and in Acts, we find how we receive power to do the same. We do this by denying ourselves, taking up the cross daily, yielding to the Holy Spirit and doing what Jesus did by faith.

What's interesting is that the word "love" isn't mentioned anywhere in Acts. Love is an action; what the Apostles and disciples were doing in Acts. That's why it is called the Acts of the Apostles. These "Acts" are performed by the love of God, acting in the power of the Holy Spirit. As we walk in the Spirit, we receive revelation and understanding of the Scriptures in ways we never would without being born of the Spirit. We begin to see ourselves complete in Christ -- holy, blameless and righteous. "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" [2 Corinthians 5:21, NKJV).

Join me as we learn to walk in love through this introduction of the Book of Acts, while looking at Scriptures both in the Old and New Testaments for our edification. Selah!

77 - Creative Faith in Luke #7

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 18:04:00 -0800

In this challenging Abounding Love episode, I conclude this series in the Gospel of Luke, expressing the need for a Heavenly vision and revelation of how God has resurrected us in Christ from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of His dear Son of light and love [Colossians 1:13-14]. We're the Temple of God, redeemed, blessed and made righteous, as wise and obedient followers of Christ [Galatians 3:13-14].

The goal of this series is to inspire a desire in your heart for living in the Kingdom of God moment by moment, separated from the kingdom of darkness -- the world, the flesh and the Devil. We live in the world, but aren't to be entangled or conformed to the world [Romans 12:1-2]. Our relationship with God in the Spirit is to empower us to live above the world, by denying the power of the flesh to operate [Luke 9:23].

Living in the Spirit will become so desirable, that your devotion to God will become most important. The works of the flesh will dwindle as the fruit of the Spirit flow forth in love, peace, joy and patience. The weaknesses of the flesh won't have a chance, with the full armor of God put on from head to toe [Ephesians 6:10-18]. Join me as we cover chapters 20 through 24 in the Gospel of Luke. We'll start the Acts of the Apostles next week. Selah!

76 - Creative Faith in Luke #6

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 18:02:00 -0800

In this insightful Abounding Love episode, I continue a series in the Gospel of Luke about the Kingdom of God, where we now dwell. Luke's presentation of the Gospel shows the contrast between the Kingdom of God, and the kingdom of Satan [or the world], where we used to dwell. In the Kingdom of God; love, light and peace reign through the Spirit of Life in Christ in God. In the kingdom of the world, Satan is found, where fear, darkness and conflict reign. It's a life ruled by the lust of the flesh and desires of the world verses a life ruled by the Word of God.

We begin this message where we left off in Part 5, at the end of Luke, chapter 14. We must be willing to leave all we have to be a disciple of Jesus. We are to be the "salt of the earth." During Luke's Gospel the disciples are "near" the Kingdom of God, but the Kingdom of God doesn't yet indwell them. That doesn't occur until Pentecost described by Luke in the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 2. There's joy in heaven when one sinner repents. Think how much joy Christ has produced by His sacrifice on the cross. The millions [even billions] of people who have come into the Kingdom throughout the generations. Jesus uses Parables to demonstrate this joy.

Join me in this podcast as we find the same joy even in the circumstances we find ourselves in now. Jesus points out that the Law reigned until John the Baptist, but since then, the Kingdom of God has been proclaimed. I cover this proclamation through the Gospel of Luke, chapters, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19. Selah!

74 - Creative Faith in Luke #5

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 18:00:00 -0800

In this uplifting Abounding Love podcast, I continue a series in the Gospel of Luke. Our theme is the Kingdom of God, where our coming King lives, and where we live in the Spirit now and in the future. Through the Holy Spirit, the Kingdom of God lives within us. When we were born of the Spirit, all things become new, because we've been resurrected with Christ into His Heavenly Kingdom. You can't separate God, Jesus and us from His Kingdom. Jesus showed His authority over all the works of the Devil, commanding them to leave, and He gave His disciples authority to do what He commanded them to do. But once they were endued with power on the day of Pentecost in Acts, chapter 2, the Holy Spirit begin to work through their lives in Jesus' name.

Today, all the gifts of the Holy Spirit are available to manifest through your life, if you will yield yourself to the working of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said that we would do even greater works, sending us to the uttermost parts of the world. In the Gospel of Luke and in the Acts of the Apostles, we see the divine power of God's love flowing through Jesus and His disciples, showing us how the ministry is to be carried out. Also, we're told that Jesus, "Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it" (Colossians 2:15, NKJV). As a result, we overcome the Devil in Jesus' name. Join me as we look at Luke, chapters 11, 12, 13, and 14, plus Hebrews 4:12; 2 Corinthians 4:10: 10:3-6, and more. Selah!

70 - Creative Faith in Luke #4

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 16:00:00 -0800

In this fervent Abounding Love episode, I continue a series in the Gospel of Luke on how you can live in the Kingdom of God or in the kingdom of Satan. God's Kingdom is a Heavenly Kingdom of love, light, life and peace. Jesus brought us into the Kingdom of God, teaching us how to live in it now and in the future. In Luke 8:43-48, we read how a woman with an "issue of blood" for 12 years, in faith touched the hem of Jesus' garment and was immediately healed. Jesus responded: "Daughter be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace" (v. 48, NKJV).

Today, Jesus not only makes us whole spiritually, but also physically through faith in God's grace. The people that Jesus was teaching were NOT born again. They had not received the Holy Spirit. This woman acted on her faith based on what she had seen, but we can't see Jesus physically today. She had to see Jesus first hand to get the faith to touch Him. Our faith isn't based on our experience, but on God's promises in His Word. "Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17, NKJV).

This story is followed by Jesus raising a 12 year old girl from the dead. The point is, in God's Kingdom there are no women with an "issue of blood," and there are no dead little girls. Jesus brings the Kingdom of God into the lives of these people with dramatic results. Much more then, when we believe in Jesus, the Kingdom of God comes into our lives with dramatic results. The degree you give your life over to the Kingdom of God is the degree you will experience the Kingdom of God in your life. Join me as we continue our studies in the Gospel of Luke 8:43-56; 9:1-62, and 10:1-42). Selah!

In this uplifting Abounding Love episode, I continue a series in the Gospel of Luke. There are two places you can live today; the kingdom of this world; or the Kingdom of God, if you are born of the Spirit; created anew by faith in Jesus' death, burial and resurrection. The purpose of Jesus' coming was to translate us out of the hate and darkness of Satan's kingdom -- the kingdom of this world, into God's Kingdom of Love and Light. And like Jesus, we can break the words of Satan by speaking the Truth of God's Word [Luke 4:1-15]. Satan gets his word out through media, television, magazines and the internet -- all the bad things the world has to offer contrary to God's Truth.

If we learn God's Word and use it, we'll be victorious over Satan and this world system. Jesus came speaking the Word, "So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the Word of God" (Luke 5:1, NKJV). The people came to hear what other religious leaders were not speaking. In this message, we're looking at Luke, chapters 6, 7 and 8. It begins with Jesus declaring that He is the Lord of the Sabbath. In Luke 6:12, He chooses His disciples. Then, in verse 20, He begins "The Sermon on the Plain," on how we are to walk, which we realize now can only be accomplished in the Spirit. Jesus said, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God" (Matthew 8:10a, NKJV). It is only with the power of the Holy Spirit that we can know God's Kingdom. Join me as we study the Scriptures to find out how we are to walk in the Kingdom God. Selah!

067 Creative Faith in Luke #2

In this Abounding Love episode, I continue a series on the Gospel of Luke. We'll look at the conquering aspect of the Word of God. Just how much of a victory do you believe you achieve through faith in Christ? God's Word tells us how Jesus lifted us up into His Kingdom, so that we no longer need to rely on the things of this world to live victorious. We obtained "Victory in Jesus" through His Love. God's Kingdom is a Kingdom of light and of Love, whereas this world is a kingdom of darkness and fear.

As a believer in Jesus Christ, we received a new born-again Spirit and made righteous in Christ, so we are victorious over this dark world in the Spirit. But, where does that leave our mind? It can leave us in the same defeated thoughts as we had prior to becoming born again. It's only when we get into God's Word and read of the victory we received in Jesus that we see His victory being manifested in us. When Jesus was born, people didn't have the victory we have today. Jesus brought us victory, first in His own life on earth, then to us through His death, burial and resurrection.

Jesus was baptised and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him like a dove. He was the only one baptised in the Holy Spirit, but after He resurrected, He sent the Holy Spirit to indwell all believers, and to bring us into His Kingdom. However, after we're born again, the devil begins his dark work. So it was with Jesus in Luke, chapter 4, when He is led into the wilderness. That's where we live, but we're to live Kingdom minded. Join me as we study the Gospel of Luke, chapters 4 and 5, for an exciting time in God's Word. Selah!

65 - Creative Faith in Luke #1

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 18:36:00 -0800

In this uplifting Abounding Love episode, I begin a series in the Gospel of Luke on the Kingdom of God, which is future, but it's also present in us right now. Jesus, when asked about the coming Kingdom, responded, "For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:21b, NKJV). The Kingdom of God is within us through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which we received once we were born again. As such, we need to look at the world with a different perspective. Being children of God, with the Holy Spirit within us, we have been lifted up beyond the cares of this world. Paul prays, ". . . that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints" (Ephesians 1:18b, NKJV). In the remainder of chapter 1, Paul reminds us of the authority we inherit through Christ's resurrection.

In Ephesians, chapter 2, Paul describes our prior sinful life, but now due to God's great love, ". . . even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together in Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:5-6, NKJV). We're in the Kingdom of God right now in the person of Jesus Christ. Paul states, "He [God the Father] has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the Kingdom of the Son of His love" (Colossians 1:13, NKJV). Being in the Kingdom, we need to act like it now!

This podcast uses the Gospel of Luke to show how God made it possible for us to be in His everlasting Kingdom now [Luke 1:33], which begins with the birth of Jesus. Join me as we study Ephesians 1:15-23; 2:1-10; Colossians 1:12-23; Romans 8:1; 11-17; Hebrews 11:6; and excerpts from Luke, chapters 1 through 3, for an exciting time of exhortation from God's Word. Selah!

238 - Great Bible Passages

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 18:34:00 -0800

In this eye opening Abounding Love episode, I share how others had to show me where to find well known Bible passages. You'll find great wisdom for yourself and wisdom to share with others as you study these passages. For example, we begin by looking at the Ten Commandments found in Exodus 20:1-17. The Lord begins by introducing Himself, "I am the LORD thy God . . ." But the Children of Israel were not able to keep these commandments or any other laws in the Bible, so the LORD provided a sacrificial system for them to seek atonement. All these sacrifices point to Jesus, Who is God's remedy for sin, for lawbreaking and disobedience. To overcome the Law, we must be born of the Spirit through the finished works of Jesus. In Matthew 22:36, we find Jesus in response to a Pharisee's question, explaining to him [and us] the two great commandments. Join me as we find out where these and other famous passages are found. It can improve your discipleship and your ability to disciple others.

#1 The Ten Commandments, Exodus 20:1-17; Deuteronomy 5:6-22; Matthew 22:34-40; #2 The Lord's Prayer, Matthew 6:9-15; #3 The Beatitudes, Matthew 5:1-13; #4 The Sermon on the Mount, Matthew, chapters 5, 6 and 7; #5 The Golden Rule, Matthew 7:12; #6 The Great Commission, Matthew 28: 18-20; #7 The Prodigal Son, Luke 15:11-32; #8 The Good Samaritan, Luke 10:25-37. Of course, there are many more great Bible passages, such as Psalm 23 and Isaiah 53, that you will want to add to these for reference. Selah!

230 - Man's Questions / God's Answers

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 22:03:32 -0700

In this Abounding Love podcast, I share answers to often asked questions. You've probably found that men have a lot of answers, but many of them aren't good answers. And in reality, God has only one answer: His Word, Jesus Christ. In 1 Peter 3:15, we are to first sanctify [set apart] the Lord God in our hearts [the seat of our thoughts, choices and emotions]. We're to be set apart for God's use, because we're to be ready to give an answer to the question why we believe as we do as Christians. With this in mind, we'll look at eleven (11) questions people may ask:

#1. Is there a God? Genesis 1:1; Psalm 19:1 and John 1:1; #2. Am I accountable to God? Romans 14:12; Philippines 2:10-11 and Romans 2:1-5; #3. Does God know all about me? Hebrews 4:13 and Luke 16:15; #4. Does God charge me with sin? Romans 3:23 and Romans 6:23; #5. Will God punish sin? Hebrews 2:3 and 10:28-29; #6. Must I perish? 2 Peter 3:9 and John 3:16; #7. How can I escape? Acts 16:31 and Hebrews 12:25; #8. Is God willing to save me? Luke 19:10 and 1 Timothy 1:15; #9. Can I be saved now? 2 Corinthians 6:2 and John 1:12; #10. Can I be saved just as I am? John 6:37 and Matthew 9:13; and #11. Will I be assured of heaven? John 14:1-3 and 1 Thessalonians 4:14. Join me as we look at these eleven questions, and the answers to share with others. Selah!

220 - Principles Governing Christian Conduct

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 18:30:00 -0700

In this passionate Abounding Love episode, I share on how to conduct ourselves as followers of Jesus Christ. Simply, the Word of Grace is to govern our conduct, while following Jesus and doing His work as "fishers of men" (Mark 1:17). He says: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me" (John 10:27, KJV). His Word is to confirm that it's His voice. Jesus goes on to say: ". . . and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them to Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand. I and My Father are one" (John 10:28-30, KJV).

Just as Jesus and His Father are one, we are one with Him and our Father as fishers of men. We all move out together overflowing in the Spirit, setting others free by the Word of Truth, just as we've been set free. Join me as we study other Scriptures such as 1 Timothy 3:1-16; 4:6-16, and 6:3-21; 2 Timothy 2:1-5,10; Ephesians 4:30; 1 Thessalonians 5:19; Romans 12:1-2; Galatians 5:1; 22-25; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Colossians 3:15-16; Titus 2:1-16, and 1 Corinthians 3:12-15. We'll see how Jesus Christ, His Word and the Holy Spirit empowers us to conduct ourselves. Selah!

219 - The Actions of a Christian

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 20:18:25 -0700

In this Abounding Love episode, I share ten (10) rules or actions needed for faithful Christian living. #1. Read and Meditate God's Word, ". . . faith cometh by hearing, and hearing . . ." (Romans 10:17). When we read the Good News, we hear it in our mind and put faith in Jesus! We replace things we used to put faith in, with faith in the things God states in Scripture. Beyond reading the Word, we must meditate on what it says [Joshua 1:8]. #2. Spend Time In Prayer. If you do just these first two things, the peace of God will rule your life [Philippians 4:6-7]. #3. Testify Every Chance You Get. Jesus said, "Whosoever shall confess me before men, him will I confess before my Father in heaven" (Matthew 10:32). #4. Win Others To Christ. Solomon wrote: ". . . he that winneth souls is wise" (Proverbs 11:30). #5. Attend Church Regularly, ". . . exhorting one another" (Hebrews 10:25). #6. Give As God Prospers You, ". . . for God loveth a cheerful giver" (2 Corinthians 9:7). #7. Trust God Completely. "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart" (Proverbs 3:5-6). #8. Don't Criticize, Rather Encourage Others. "Let your light shine before men . . ." (Matthew 5:16). #9. Don't Compromise. "Neither give place to the devil" (Ephesians 4:27). #10. Make Life Mottos. I share several taken directly from Scripture that we need to guide our thoughts and actions. Join me as we look into how to live our Christian life. Selah!

218 - Instructions for Believers

Sat, 11 Oct 2025 04:16:30 -0700

In this Abounding Love episode, I share thirteen (13) instructions from Scripture that are necessary to grow in Christ [1 Peter 2:2]. Start now or later, but without them, you will stagnate! You may question why your Christian life isn't going well, with so many difficulties? Could it be you aren't studying God's Word [2 Timothy 2:15], attending church [Hebrews 10:24-25], fellowshipping with Christlike people [Acts 2:42-47], praying [Jude 20-21], and witnessing [Acts 1:8]? If you developed these habits, your life will abound in God's love!

The apostle Paul wrote: "I beseech [urge] you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service" (Romans 12:1, NKJV). We're to be dedicated to the Lord; but how? In verse 2, Paul answers, "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God." We sacrifice ourselves by renewing our mind -- taking on the mind and will of Christ. Pretty soon you're using your body and your strength to carry out God's will in your life with joy. Join me in these verses and many others to find instructions on how to live a fruitful Christian life. Selah!

191 - Twelve Levels of Faith #2

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 18:02:00 -0700

In this continuing Abounding Love episode, I finish up a two-part series on Twelve Levels of Faith from the KJV Bible. Level #7 Perfected Faith [James 2:21-22, 26]; Level #8 Strong Faith [Romans 4:18-20]; Level #9 Great Faith [Matthew 8:5-10]; Level #10 Rich Faith [James 2:5]; Level #11 Full of Faith [Acts 6:3-5; 11:22-24]; Level #12 Overcoming Faith [1 John 5:4-5; 4:4; Revelation 2:7; 11; 17; 26-28; 3:5; 12; 21], plus as a bonus, The Most Holy Faith [Jude 20-23].

As you study these Scriptures, I pray you'll determine your level. Our goal is to grow to the highest level, doing the works of Christ [John 14:12]. We ". . . walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7). Our faith pleases God, and He rewards us as we ". . . diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6). The righteous live by faith in the victory we received through Jesus' death, burial and resurrection [Romans 1:17; Hebrews 10:38]. We're ". . . looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2). Like Him, we overcome the Devil ". . . by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God" [Matthew 4:4; Psalm 107:20]. Join me as we conclude these levels of increasing faith. Remember, it takes time in God's Word to grow from one level to the next. Selah!

190 - Twelve Levels of Faith #1

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 18:00:00 -0700

In this powerful Abounding Love podcast, I begin a two-part series on the Twelve Levels of Faith from the KJV Bible. We'll cover six (6) levels in this episode. Level #1: No Faith [Deuteronomy 32:15-20; Mark 4:35-41]; Level #2: Little Faith [Matthew 6:30-33; 14:25-31]; Level #3: Weak Faith [Romans 4:19-22]; and Level #4: Shipwrecked Faith [1 Timothy 1:18-20]. These first four levels aren't any kind of faith worth having, Amen? Level #5: A Growing Faith [2 Thessalonians 1:3; Romans 10:17]; and Level #6: Unfeigned Faith [sincere, not fake; 1 Timothy 1:5-7] begins your victorious faith walk.

It helps to increase your faith by understanding Hebrews 11:1: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." God's Word gives your faith substance [essence or reality] of things hoped for [confidence it will actually happen]. It gives evidence [assurance or proof] that what is unseen is real. Are you trusting in God and His Word, or looking at the situation or circumstance? Hebrews 11:6 says, ". . . without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him." We see from this verse alone how necessary faith is in the life of the believer. Join me as we consider these and other Scriptures, plus check in with me next week for Levels 7 through 12, to advance into the Most Holy Faith. Selah!

215 - What it Means to Believe

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 06:00:00 -0700

In this exciting Abounding Love episode, I share that we must believe in what Jesus Christ did in order to be saved. That is, believe that He came to seek and to save the lost [Luke 19:10], believe in His death, burial and resurrection, and our personal resurrection in Him. We share this Good News so others hearing it will also believe and gain all the benefits their belief in Christ secures for them. Belief means to trust in Jesus Christ alone [Ephesians 2:8-9]. We trust that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil [1 John 3:8], and that He did so. King David wrote: "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the LORD our God" (Psalm 20:7, KJV). David knew you were going to trust in something. It's better to be in prison and saved, carrying out my calling, than to be out of prison and unsaved. There's no way to place value on our salvation. It's priceless! And it can only be obtained through believing in Jesus Christ and what He did [Romans 10:8-13]. Our salvation is priceless, because it's eternal. It outlives our life on earth. We enter into His rest believing His plans for us are guaranteed and unending [Matthew 11:28-30; John 14:1-3]. Join me in this podcast as we look at fourteen (14) points with Scriptures demonstrating what it means for us to believe. Selah!

214 - Salvation and Good Works

Sat, 13 Sep 2025 08:35:01 -0700

In this Abounding Love episode, I share how a lot of people don't know where "good works" fit in the Christian life. Some people believe they're saved by being good. Be good; you'll go to heaven. Don't be good enough; you'll go to hell. This thinking is false. We're not saved by what we do, but by what Jesus did. "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9, NKJV). Our "good works" are the results of what Jesus is doing in our lives today. If "good works" could get us to heaven with God, how many does it take to qualify? Just how good [righteous] do I have to be to gain eternal life with God? This is the age-old question of every religion on earth. Even Judaism follows the idea that one has to perform commandments to be right with God, plus follow rules for how to keep them. But, Spiritual Christianity does not emphasize "good works" as a means to obtain eternal life. If "good works" could save you, there would be no need for Jesus. His death, burial and resurrection would be meaningless. It is God's desire that people believe solely in Jesus Christ, and His finished works for salvation. Join me as we look at other Scriptures, such as John 6:28-29; Romans 4:3-6; 1 Corinthians 3:5-15; Galatians 2:16; 3:10-14; 5:4-6; Colossians 1:9-12; 3:17; 2 Timothy 1:8-9; 3:15-17; Titus 2:6-15; 3:1-11 and James 2:14-24, plus the role "good works" play in our lives.
