Your afflictions and challenges in life can either put you under, or become the most valuable raw material imaginable for advancing the Kingdom of God. It is your choiceOne of the main goals of the Kingdom of God is to replace Satan's rule with God's rule. Overcoming, in the Biblical sense, will do that, and will turn your afflictions, curses, and other challenges in life into the building material for God's Kingdom, jewels.In this book, you will learn how to live your live in the overcoming lifestyle, which will accomplish that and will glorify God."I did not set out to write a book, rather I wrote down what my family lived."Larry Chkoreff"Why are we sitting here until we die?" That is what the four lepers said in 2 Kings chapter 7 when they felt that their lives were hopeless. They resided in Samaria, which was besieged by the Syrians. The people were suffering starvation. Also they were boiling their own children for food. You may be in oppressed circumstances. But you do not need to sit there until you die. You need to know that there is something you can do. First, you need to know that the spiritual army that has besieged you is already defeated. Jesus defeated Satan at the Cross. Next, you need to know that if you enter into the overcoming lifestyle that you will enter into the abundant life as Jesus described it. As you walk and live this lifestyle, you will bring others into it just as the four lepers did.Your afflictions, circumstances, economic environment, medical environment, and nation in which you live do not limit overcoming. Overcoming is not based upon living in the First World or the Third World. The Word of God will operate in a human heart wherever you may live. The requirement is the condition of the soil of your heart, not the natural soil in which you live. God is able to work in any environment. His power is not limited by the culture in which you live, it is only limited by the honesty and passion of your own heart.My family and I have overcome some very difficult and naturally impossible circumstances. We have "done" something and have been overcomers, rather than just sit there and die. What I write here is not just what I have learned, but as John said (paraphrased) in his first epistle, "We have seen it with our eyes, our life has touched it, testified to it, and we now proclaim it to you, the eternal life which was with the Father and has appeared to us." We have seen Jesus in our overcoming, and now testify to you, that He is real, alive, and on task for you! "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched - this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ" (1 John 1:1-3, NIV). John went on and said, "And we are now writing these things to you so that our joy [in seeing you included] may be full [and your joy may be complete]" (1 John 1:4, Amplified Bible).If you want to do something, read on!

SIMPLICITYThis little booklet contains the story of how God has and is making tens of thousands of disciples world wide through the simplicity of returning people to "normal" and knowing Jesus intimately. This is not for theologians or religious people, this is for simple people, humble people, honest people, even uneducated people.The mystery of the Kingdom is spiritual agriculture.Mark 4:11 says, "And He said to them, "To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables.."The process is so simple, it sometimes is difficult to explain.An Appetizer for Making DisciplesWhen the Lord saved me, I had already attempted to succeed in the world's system with everything that I had. I was 39 years old, it was 1979, and although on the surface things looked okay, inside I knew that I was not making life work. The Lord made some changes in my life, both in my relationships and in business, in order to put me on His path for my life.Even then, I knew that I did not have the resources to make life work. I cried out desperately to Him for help with finances, family relationships, and ministry. I knew He had a calling on my life, but had no idea what that meant. I knew that God wanted me to have the "abundant life," and all I could do was to believe and invite Him to take over 100%. I loved the Word of God and spent hours every day consuming it. It began to change my life in many ways. I will never forget watching a minister on television teach on Mark chapter 4, and how the Word of God planted in a human heart would bear fruit for everything we need, for life and godliness, 2 Peter 1:3. I grabbed that idea and lived by it. Little by little I could see God producing His fruit in my life, and that it would produce things and situations that I would not have had the power to do on my own. I knew this was Truth. I also saw how this fruit did not grow quickly. Satan would war against the production of fruit in powerful ways. There was much suffering, but my wife Carol and I would not give in or give up because we knew that God meant what He said. Actually the suffering for the Words sake was part of entering into the Kingdom of God. Acts 14:22 says, "strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, "We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.""Eventually things got better, little by little, and God showed up in marvelous ways. Now as I write this, over 32 years later, I can testify not only by the Word of God, but also by my own experience, that living life by bearing fruit is indeed the mystery of the Kingdom of God.Best of all, during these past years, by focusing on hearing God speak and keeping my relationship fresh and vital with Him, my personal intimacy with Jesus has become very deep and satisfying. Even if I had nothing else in this world, just knowing Him at this deep and intimate level is more than enough!Larry Chkoreff
