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!
