The family was God’s first war unit. He put Adam and Eve together in the garden and told them to be fruitful and multiply; to increase in number and substance. His vision was to produce a Bride for His Son and to do it through families with a destiny and purpose. Why do you think the enemy works so hard to destroy families? You can see it all around…he uses every tool available to break up this beautiful family structure so we will never fulfill the plan God had for us. What can we do? First, we can ...
Barb Bucklin is the founder of Vision Luke 4:18 Ministries, a ministry serving the Body of Christ by providing prayer, meeting physical needs of the homeless and poor, and working toward the unity that Jesus so desired.
Vision Luke 4:18’s healing and deliverance ministry has become one of the most sought-after services in the city of Austin and surrounding areas, attracting people from all walks of life who desire physical and spiritual freedom and restoration. A respected citywide ministry leader, Barb has served and is presently serving on boards and steering committees for numerous inter-church and citywide ministry groups.

The Lord has set me free! I was mad, suicidal, and so oppressed. I cried out to God in my time of need. I had experienced His power before. I knew He could save me – my mind, body and soul. But why was I in such turmoil?
I had tried psych wards, drugs (prescriptions and not), rehab, the 12-steps, AA, an intensive outpatient program, therapy, sober living. I went to Luke 4:18 Ministries after trying every possible method the world had to offer. I was completely broken.
On the drive over, I felt the Presence of God and heard Him ask me “Are you ready to come home?” I sat in my car for what felt like an eternity. I (and the demons afflicting me at the time) was terrified. A part of me did not want to go in, but my spirit and soul did. Upon walking in, I immediately started to cry as I felt the power and presence of the Lord.
As these three women prayed and prophesied over me, I again felt the power and presence of God. They spoke life into the darkest parts of me. I left there a new creature, fully delivered and completely sold out for Jesus.
A Son of God,
