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!
