FOUNDATION STATEMENT: As believers if we want to walk in God’s best then we
have to activate and release this spiritual force called zoe into our lives by
walking in the love of God.
I. The commandment of love will manifest days of Heaven
on the Earth (Deut 11:13-23)
A. God
has had Heaven on the Earth on his mind from the beginning (Genesis 1:26-28,2:7-8)
1. He
created man with an assignment to fill this Earth up with the Garden of Eden
a. He
didn’t create man and put him outside of the Garden where there was poverty and
lack; he created man and put him in abundance/heaven on the Earth
2. Numbers
14:21-22 – The whole Earth is going to be filled with His glory
a. John
1:14 – The glory of God is the word of God, the goodness of God manifested in
physical realm
b. Isaiah
51:1-3 – God’s got that Garden on His mind
3. Matthew
6:10 – Jesus says pray for Heaven on the Earth
4. 2
Corinthians 9:8 – This grace of God will cause you to always have, more than
enough, no matter what the needs is; That’s the garden of Eden
B. God
never intended for you to live in lack one day of your life and that’s why He
gave you this commandment of love, because it will take you to this place of
never lacking
1. Love
is the law of abundance
a. A
law is something that will produce the same results every time all the time when
the principles of it are applied
i. You're
not going to apply the principles of a law and get inconsistent results
b. A
law is something that has a predictable outcome
i. If
a person abides by certain principles there is a predetermined outcome
2. When
you commit to the command of love abundance is the predetermined outcome
II. There is a source of power available to us that will
completely crowd out all evil and manifest Heaven on the Earth and it’s called
zoe or the life force of God
A. Zoe
is the force that darkness has no answer for and that evil cannot
overcome (John 1:1-5)
1. Zoe
is the light of men
a. Darkness
cannot overtake light/zoe/life
i. Comprehend
– overtake, find, perceive, apprehend, come upon, take
2. Zoe
is the light, the life-force that crowds out all evil
a. It’s
the healing power of God that removes all sickness, it’s the providing power of
God that removes all lack, it’s the protecting power of God that keeps out all
destruction, it’s the life of God that removes all death
3. When
light/life/zoe shows up it expels darkness (Romans 5:12 KJ/AMP)
a. Where
sin tried to abound it was no match for grace
i. Where
death tries to abound it’s no match for life, where darkness tries to abound
it’s not match for light
b. The
power of Satan is no match for the power of God
i. Death
is not the most powerful force in the Earth, life is
ii. Death
can’t come until life leaves, the way darkness can’t come until light leaves
c. Against
it’s own will, when zoe shows up darkness leaves (Philippians 2:9-10)
4. If
this zoe is the light that darkness can’t overtake we need to be harvesting it
B. Life
Vs. Death
1. Death
is that force of darkness that produces the curse in the lives of believers (Gen
2:17)
a. All
sickness, all lack, all poverty, all of the curse is just the result of the
spiritual force of death working in your life
2. When
zoe shows up all death lives
a. All
healing, all prosperity, all wealth, all health, all victory is the result of
the spiritual force called zoe working in your life
3. Zoe
– The God-kind of life, the life of God, life that is filled with vitality,
unrivaled life, unequaled life, matchless, richly loaded, overflowing,
supernatural, self-sustaining life, the thing that makes God, God
III. Zoe in action
A. John
8:12, 58-59 – Death came, but it couldn’t crowd zoe out, it couldn’t overtake
zoe
1. John
11:1-17,21-27,39,43
a. 9-Jesus
was telling them I’m walking in light/zoe and they can’t touch me
i. Philippians
2:8 – He had to submit to death before it could come on him, he had to turn zoe
off and he did it by taking your sin
b. Zoe
showed and death said, it’s time to go
B. Zoe
is what was flowing out of Peter when his shadow was touching those people (Acts
5:15-20)
1. That
was the life force of God flowing out of a man that was removing all sickness
a. Why?When light, came on the seen darkness could
not stay
2. They
got thrown in prison and the angel of the Lord came and got them out and tell
the people all the words of this zoe that you’ve been experiencing
b. Darkness
can’t apprehend light
C. Acts
12:1-10 – That’s zoe working and the darkness of death had no answer for it
D. Mark
5:25-30 – Zoe is what was flowing out of Jesus when that women touched the hem
of his garment
1. Virtue
has left me Jesus said – Power, life, light, zoe has left me
2. Mark
5:38-43 – Life came and death had to leave
E. Matt 14:15-20 – Zoe is what Jesus released on to that two pieces of fish and five
loves of bread
1. Philippians
2:16 – Jesus spoke the Word of Life over that which was not enough and the life
force called zoe removed all lack
IV. His commandment is life ever lasting (John 12:50)
A. Your
prosperity is in there, your healing is in there, your victory is in there,
your deliverance is in that commandment of love
1. When
you keep the commandment of love zoe will manifest
unto you (John 14:21)
2. When
you sow to the spirit by walking in love you reap life everlasting (Galatians
6:7-9)
B. Love
is the Law of Abundance because it activates the force that produces abundance
