68 - The Word of God
3 hours ago
3 hours ago
In this Abounding Love episode, I share what the term "The Word of God" means. In John 1:1, we find: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Then in John 1:14, we find: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." And in John 1:16-17, he states: "And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." This message is divided into three (3) parts: 1) The Word of God, God in the beginning; 2) The Word of God, Jesus Christ, who came to redeem us from our sins; and 3) The Word of God that lives and resides within us through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The Word was perfect in the beginning; the Word was perfect in Jesus Christ; and now the Word is perfect in us. As you listen to this podcast, you'll gain an understanding of these three aspects of God's Word. Join me as we look into other Scriptures as well, such as Psalms 107:20; 1 Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; John 17:17; and 1 Peter 1:23. Selah!

59B - Let us...
Friday Jun 27, 2025
Friday Jun 27, 2025
In this Abounding Love podcast, I bring out the need to follow the Scriptures as if they were instructions to God's soldiers. "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work" (2 Timothy 3:16,17, NKJV). We'll look at a number of Scriptures, which all begin with the term, "Let us . . ." For example, in Romans, we see this introduction often: "let us prophesy . . ." (12:6), then, "let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly . . ." (13:12, 13a). These verses appear as instructions to soldiers on how to be effective in the battle against the kingdom of darkness. "Let us" vocalizes a conscious inner-choice to walk in the Spirit, speaking and living in agreement with God's Word, so we can effectively fight the enemy of our soul. Join me as we look into other "Let us . . ." Scriptures, such as Romans 14:13; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Galatians 5:25; 6:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:8; Hebrews 10:23-24; 13:15 and Revelation 19:7. Selah!

59A - Even as Jesus
Friday Jun 20, 2025
Friday Jun 20, 2025
In this Abounding Love episode, I emphasise the power of living a life grounded in faith and love. How we are to embody the qualities of Jesus, being beacons of light in the world filled with darkness, even as Jesus. I share the importance of abiding in God's Word, keeping His commandments, cultivating a heart of love and being one with each other, more than just a Bible carrying member of the Church. Our faith is to work by love, inspiring others to rise above trials and tribulations by embracing the victorious life that comes through a deep relationship with Christ. We are to act and think as He did. When Jesus spoke, the people heard an expression of love. This episode serves as a reminder to commit wholeheartedly to the teachings of the Bible, urging listeners to walk in love and righteousness, and to let faith guide our actions towards a life of peace and fulfillment. Join me as I teach on these qualities. [For more: Copy & Paste or Enter > "Create a Study Guide for Podcast 59A Even As Jesus Is from Abounding Love Ministries" < into ChatGPT.com ].

97B - Jesus the Same
Friday Jun 13, 2025
Friday Jun 13, 2025
In this Abounding Love podcast, I teach on how Jesus and the Word are unchanging. How the Word must become our life, so that we become Jesus' hands and feet in this world. We can all agree, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8, NKJV). We take the place of Jesus in the flesh as the Body of Christ, representing Him today and forever as His bride. Is Jesus the same in you today? In order for Him to be, His Word must be working mightily in you. The purpose of the Word is to bring healing to us and to all those around us who hear it. The Word, in conjunction with the Holy Spirit, empowers us to act like Jesus -- the same yesterday, today and forever. The Word spoken doesn't return to God void, because it will accomplish that which it was sent to do through us [Isaiah 55:11]. Join me as we look into these truths.

97A - Obedience Unto Death
Friday Jun 06, 2025
Friday Jun 06, 2025
In this Abounding Love podcast, I'm teaching on the Great Commission; past, present and future. In Acts 5:17-32, we're told how it was done in early church history. The Apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit, preaching the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. They also healed in the Name of Jesus, but were ordered not to preach the Gospel by the religious leaders because it was contrary to the Law of God. They were cast into prison but an angel came, let them out and told them to keep preaching the Word of Life. The Word is like a seed you have to plant and nurture to produce a crop. They had a choice to obey God or man. They chose to obey God -- good choice! Those preaching were filled with the Holy Spirit, Who empowers them to fulfill the Great Commission. Jesus requires the same obedience from us in order for the Gospel to be preached as required by the Great Commission. In this podcast, I discuss how it was done by the Apostles and how we're to continue to do it today. Join me as we look into these truths.

62B - Father God the Same
Friday May 30, 2025
Friday May 30, 2025
In this podcast, I focus on how God's love is what makes all the difference in our lives and in the lives of those we interact with daily. Our Heavenly Father is a Father of love. Everything He does, especially His judgments, are tempered with love. And He's the same yesterday, today and forever. He's unchanging and everything He gives; every good and perfect gift comes from the One Who never changes. He is the God of Love, and He has given us the Way of love. When you walk in the Love of God, you fulfill the Law of God. Love is the perfect law of liberty that God has for us to be ruled by. James 2:8 says, "If you really fulfill the royal law [Love] according to the Scripture, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself,' you do well." God, the Father, wants us to walk in love so that we can spread His love throughout the world. Join me as I teach on how to be a conduit of His love.

62A - Holy Ghost the Same
Friday May 23, 2025
Friday May 23, 2025
In another podcast, I bring out how Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. But not only is Jesus the same yesterday, today and forever, but the Holy Ghost is too! Our Heavenly Father doesn't change, so we can say that the Godhead is unchangeable throughout all history. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil, and the goal of this ministry is the same. Jesus said, "Even as My Father has sent Me; I am sending you!" Jesus sends us with His authority and power of the Holy Ghost. We have the option to receive His power and authority or not. But without Him, we don't have the power to do the works of Christ [the Anointed One]. God isn't asking us to do something He hasn't given us the power to do! Are you looking for a more effective ministry? Are you desiring power over the devil? The early church received that power and the same is available for you today. The Gospels and the Book of Acts outlines how this happens. Join me as we explore these truths in Scripture. Selah!

253 - Pity Not Thyself
Friday May 16, 2025
Friday May 16, 2025
In this podcast we see how the #1 tool of the Devil is self pity; to feel sorry for ourselves, causing defeat. To the contrary, God wants us walking in victory, rejoicing in what Christ has brought us out of. Though we live in a physical body, our struggle is not in the physical, but in the spirit [2 Corinthians 10:3]. Spiritual forces try to pull us down by getting us into self pity. Our weapons are not physical, but powerful, through God, to overcome self defeating attitudes [2 Corinthians 10:4-5]. When the enemy puts a stronghold in your life, the power of God in you can pull it down. We must get rid of negative imaginations to experience victory. The Devil comes only to steal, kill and destroy, but Jesus gives an abundant life [John 10:10]. The enemy want to steal our joy, to kill our witness and destroy our ability to evangelize. Join me as I bring out these truths and practical application. Selah!
