197 - How to Cast Out Evil Spirits

In this Abounding Love episode, I cover eight (8) tools we need to cast out evil spirits. For example,  we need to not be ignorant of their devices, schemes or plots so they don't take advantage of us [2 Corinthians 2:11]. So first, we need to know our enemy in order to cast them out. Know that our enemy has been defeated; therefore, we have the authority to cast out a defeated foe. We need to know he's also a liar and the father of lies, who seeks to steal, kill and destroy the testimony of Christians through his falsehoods [John  8:44; 10:10]. His goal is to hinder our effectiveness for Christ. In 1 Corinthians 12:10, Paul outlines the gifts we are given to further the Kingdom of God. One listed is the "discerning of spirits," which is the ability to know what Satan and his demons are up to. This is the first tool presented for dealing with evil spirits. Remember, demons plot for your thoughts and feelings. After casting down imaginations, they must be replaced by truth [2 Corinthians 10:3-6]. Join the podcast now, plus study your authority in Jesus' name, see: Matthew 10:8; Mark 6:7; 16:17; Luke 9:1; 10:19; Acts 5:16; 8:5-7; 16:16-18; 19:11-20; and 1 Timothy 4:1. Selah!

115 - You Gotta Use the Key

In this Abounding Love episode, I share certain "keys" found in Scripture that help us understand Spiritual Warfare better and help to unlock our Faith. Keys are a sign of authority. In prison, the ones who have the keys are the authorities. In Matthew 16:19, we read where Jesus gives Peter [and us] the keys to the Kingdom of God, telling him, "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven" (NKJV). Then in Acts 16:16-35, we see a story where the authority of the key bearer is obvious. In this story, the jailer has the keys he uses to lock up Paul and Silas, acting on the authority of the Magistrates. This podcast explores how such earthly authority in the second sense and Heavenly authority in the first sense, are found in Scripture with Heavenly authority being able to overrule the earthly authority. Join me as we examine these truths, plus for your study on keys mentioned as symbols of authority, see Isaiah 22:22; Revelation 1:18; 3:7; 9:1; and 20:1. Selah!

68 - The Word of God

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...

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

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

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

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

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.
