Abiding Above Ministries seeks to glorify God by encouraging all people into a relationship with Jesus Christ, discipling them in spiritual growth, and equipping them to make disciples of the nations by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The Bible teaches the human race came from the first man Adam. We inherited sin from Adam. That sin separates us from God. Therefore, we must be born again, in Christ.
This message speaks of two rests. There is a rest from the burden of sin that comes with salvation and the rest from the burden of self that comes with surrender.
Our loving, Lord Jesus, in love, warned every person in this whole world that there are only two places to go upon your death. A place He called Heaven or a place He called Hell. Please listen, believe, and receive before you pass away forever. It's your decision, alone.
To be a blessing to others you must discover those qualities in others that bless you and then by the power of the Holy Spirit … do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Humility is often thought of as a physical feature or posture. It is that appearance of someone with a poor sense of self-worth. Genuine humility is the life of God by the Holy Spirit having unhindered control of the mind, will, and emotions.
Jesus said, “We are to love one another, as I have loved you.” This love may or may not have loving feelings with it. You see, this is agape love (God's love). This love is sacrificial, therefore redemptive, reciprocal, and reflective as we appear as lights to this increasingly dark world. God's children can “will” […]
Do you feel guilty? You will admit that you have sinned and cannot explain your way out. Thank God for the conviction! He lives inside of you. This message will help you by God’s Word and His Holy Spirit to find a clear conscience when you have sinned.
Beware of blaming everything wrong on Satan! Remember, only God is omnipresent (everywhere at once). You can know, we struggle with our flesh (self) far more than we struggle with Satan and his demons. Jesus tells us to, deny our Self-life, and to be so identified with His death on the cross that like the […]
Everyone has regrets in life. Can you imagine what Peter felt when he denied Jesus 3 times and the Bible says, “And Jesus looked at Peter.” All of us still sin and we all can make mistakes. Listen to this message and remember, God knew all about our sins and mistakes even before He created […]
My friend, there is a way to simply change habits. How? Knowing this, as a man “thinks” in his heart, so is he … Purpose to turn your thoughts to God's Word and He begins to renew your mind by the indwelling Holy Spirit. It takes about 30 days to drop an old habit and […]
You might be thinking, bearing all things is simply impossible! And you are correct, except, if the bearing and loving is being done by Another. You say, “I can't” God never said you could but always said He would. Agape!
This is an encouraging message that will help you clear up doubting your salvation.
There comes a time in all of our lives when we simply need to step out in faith and do what we have only intended to do for many years. Walk intimately with God. These are the steps to a new start with God.
To walk by faith is exciting, but it can also be an uncomfortable experience. It is always a matter of trusting God completely. Romans 10:17 – “So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” My friend, faith, is simply taking God at His word. Do not fear, put your face in […]
When a believer lives totally surrendered to God, he experiences the fullness of the Holy Spirit … a victorious and overcoming life!
It is not our faith in God’s faithfulness, it is simply God is faithful. No matter what you do and no matter what this world system may come to, we must remember, God is faithful to His own. It is His perfect nature to be perfectly faithful.
Every child of God has the Holy Spirit living in them. Be a person who listens to the Holy Spirit and obeys the Holy Spirit. Surrender to God and say “yes” to the things He is asking you to do, and you will be that person who keeps in step with the Spirit.
Christian history records the stories of men and women who have gone through hard times. As children of God, He sent us the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, because He knew this side of heaven we would all experience problems in a fallen world.
I believe we are living in desperate days. It seems like we are in a moral and financial free fall and everyone is wondering when we're going to hit the bottom. My friend, God is in charge. God is sovereign and nothing can happen that will escape His notice. What God allows may not be […]
God’s plan is to conform you to the image of His Son. We are to love justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with our God.
Our failures in life can be a good thing. It is through our failures that we are able to realize just how dependent we are on God.
Did God really mean for us to give thanks in everything? How can we, when things turn out all wrong? This comes by believing that God will forever be in control and will turn all things to His purposes.
God knew you before the foundation of the world. He formed you inside of you mother's womb and safely delivered you to live on earth. Why did God do this? What is His will for me?
Trying harder to be loving with troubled people misses the point. God's agape love “in you” by the indwelling Holy Spirit is the only possible answer. Let go and let God have all there is of you.
To feel or to actually be rejected by someone is common to man. The ultimate answer to human rejection is abiding in the eternal acceptance you have in Christ. Our Father in heaven accepts us 100%, not because of what we do, but, because of what Jesus did on the cross “for us” and “as […]

Motivated by the Holy Spirit, immediately, God uses you right where you are in this world. Let go, let the Holy Spirit have all there is of you, right here, right now.
The call to ministry is mysterious. It’s the genuine work of the indwelling Holy Spirit. It is compelling. If you are feeling led by God to ministry and you are not sure what to do, get your Bible and listen to these two messages. If it’s God’s will for you, we’re praying God clears the […]

Adam was made in God's image and mankind is made in the image of Adam. God made us in such a way that He can live inside of us by His Holy Spirit. We too, have a mind, will, and emotions. We have a personality and we are able to love and be loved. Through […]
It is impossible for a person to consistently act differently than how they see themselves. From the time we were little babies our identity is shaped by the people around us. Our life is like a painting. Who is the artist, and what paints did they choose to paint the portrait of your life? According […]
Knowing your true identity in Christ is the key to renewing your mind and healing damaged emotions which lead to healing broken relationships.
Under God's complete sovereignty He gives man a will to make choices. We can wisely say yes to Him or unwisely say no. When we say yes to Him, He comforts us in our sorrows, renews our minds, and heals our emotions.
This message clearly explains who we were in Adam and who we are now in Christ. We are His poem, persons of notable excellency.
A closer look at God's Word shows us that not only are our sins forgiven past, present, and future, but our guilt has also been dealt with at the cross of Jesus Christ. Listen and learn how to apply the cross to your guilty feelings.
God designed us in such a way that apart from Him we will feel a sense of loneliness. Take heart my friend, this is God's way of lovingly asking you, “Where are you?” Turn back to God and walk with Him intimately. He fills our loneliness with His indwelling Holy Spirit.
Choosing to walk by faith (trust) in God is the key to not being deceived by fear.
Depression sets in when we live our lives without listening and abiding in Christ. God will deliver you from depression as you turn your thoughts once more to Him and his perfect plan for your life.
Worrying is like rocking in a rocking chair, you don’t get anywhere. Listen, and your worries will begin to drift away.
God is King, Master, and Lord, for sure. And at the same time we see in Scripture Jesus said, “Our Father in heaven …” My friend, sometimes intimacy with God escapes us because we simply have a wrong view of our Father in heaven.
Whether you are about to graduate high school, college, or making a lifelong decision about marriage or ministry, this message is for you. Listen carefully, take a walk, and take notes.
You know you are God's child. But, like all of God's children, you have sinned since you received Christ. You grew up in a church environment of well meaning Christians, but, they were unknowingly, legalists. My friend, be encouraged! We love you, so listen.
This is an urgent message from Ephesians 2. 1. Who We Were 2. What God Did 3. Who We Are Now. A must listen in these days we are living!
As a child of God, do you ever have this thought and feeling, “I must know something I don't know.” Here it is my friend. You know “Christ Died For Me” but do you know “Christ Died As Me?” I love you, so listen …
Deep down inside do you feel God is calling you to do something special for Him? As you look around at your community and watch events unfold in the world around us, so you sense something is wrong? Do you feel alone in your concern for America, our churches, and our families? My friend, let's […]
