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...

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, ...

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...

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 ca...

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 ...

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!" Jesu...

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, thr...

In this podcast, I share briefly about a drug dealer named "Lotsapoppa", who I ripped off in 1969. He showed up at the prison chapel to confront me. Whatever our problems are; the answer is bigger, because it's always, God! He is bigger, whether discouragement, debt or even enemies coming after you. The prophet Jeremiah realized that the Israelites had all sorts of problems due to idol worship. In Jeremiah chapter 20, we find him d...

In this Abounding Love podcast, I discuss "Indecision." Webster's dictionary defines it as: "A wavering between two possible courses of actions." During the day, and at times in our life, we face "two possible courses of action" and which one we choose can have extreme consequences for good or bad. "If only I'd done this" or "If only I'd done that" . . . life is made of decisions. I can testify; what we decide has everything to do ...

In this Abounding Love podcast episode #208, I share how Jesus came preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom [Mark 1:14-15], which is the Kingdom of love, light and life. It's the Kingdom we now live in as born-again believers. Jesus told folks to repent [turn from sin to God] and believe the Gospel because the Kingdom of God is present. He didn't sugar coat it, but told them that all mankind were sinners, living in the kingdom of Satan...

This podcast episode begins with a Christian brother named Lance, reading Scripture from Acts 3:1-16, about Peter healing the lame beggar in the Name of Jesus. Lance then transitions into a song, then completes the reading before I begin to preach. My message focuses on miracles that believers experience today. Not all congregations believe in such miracles, like Peter healing the lame man, happen today. They believe that miracles ...

This podcast message is designed to enhance our Spiritual growth. The most important is that we work at rightly dividing the Word of Truth. Get to know it! Study and meditate it! Don't rely on others to tell you what it says, rather place it in your heart so you know what it says. Secondly, we're to walk in love, wisdom and as Jesus walked. This happens as the Word becomes part of our being. Third, praise is what we need, which is ...

In this podcast, I continue with how to win souls. When we get opposition or objections in the form of questions, it's important that we answer with Godly love and restraint. We want to avoid "disputes," which are "unprofitable and useless" (Titus 3:9, NKJV). They will often have foolish questions, inviting arguments rather than building up each other [1 Timothy 1:4; 6:4,5]. You can win the argument, but lose the soul! Again, Paul ...

The goal of this Abounding Love podcast is to give a burden for witnessing to the lost, which all of us were at one time. It seeks to inform with examples how any believer can be a witness. In John 3:36, Jesus stated that we need to witness because the world is perishing without a personal relationship with Him. As believers, we share God's Word with the lost to build a relationship based on faith. This relationship with Jesus save...

Continuing from the previous message about "Perfecting Love", I share how Jesus' compassion came from Him seeing that the people were "like sheep without a shepherd." But we have a Shepherd: Jesus Christ! Why should we have compassion on those lost people we encounter? Because they are scattered and lost, wandering without a place to rest -- like sheep without a shepherd. We become that shepherd when we think like Jesus thinks. Joi...

In this message, we're looking into two (2) commandments our Lord gave us. That is, to love the Lord our God completely and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Both are impossible to keep without the grace of God. We find in 1 John 5:1-5 how to developed our love relationship with God, so we can have a love relationship with others. Thus, not allowing Satan to steal our love, nor fear to make God's love ineffective. Do you realize G...

This episode includes me testifying of my fruitless search for love in drugs, sex and the flesh. Today, I have "put off" those vices and have "put on" the love of Christ. The apostle Paul wrote: "Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forga...

In this episode, we will recognize who our enemy is. The enemies of God are enemies of Love. They don't want us to experience the love of God. They keep us from loving our brothers and sisters in Christ. We know who the deceiver is; Satan, who comes to steal, kill and destroy. And we know Jesus came to give life more abundantly. We see two opposing forces. In John 10:10, Satan is presented as a thief. He creeps in unaware to bring ...

This episode shares how we are to perfect the love of God in our lives, but we must remember that we love because He first loved us. As believers, we are born of the Spirit of love. We have God's love within us, and we owe [have an obligation] to share His love with others. We must allow His love to flow from our lives. The Greek word for God's love is "agape," the unconditional and sacrificial love of God, which put His Son on the...

How many of us have trouble with our imaginations? Zechariah prophesied, "Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart" (7:9-10, KJV). During the day, we're tempted the think badly about other Christians. Let none "im...
