Christ washed His disciples’ feet out of His deep love for them and a revelation of His own authority. He is an example to us of how even the greatest ministries must humble themselves to serve and be served; for there is no authority without humility.

Wash One Another’s Feet

In the Body of Christ, there will never be a self-sufficient ministry. The more authority you have, the more responsible you are to minister to your brother and the more you have need of his ministry.

Be Grateful / Do You Appreciate Him?, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, November 18, 1962. Hidden Treasure.

Be Grateful

It is the natural drift of human nature to take for granted our blessings and our privileges. If you cry to God with a need and He answers, Will you return to Him in thanksgiving? Will you be grateful for what God has made available to you and for the blessings yet to come? Do not fail to appreciate the hand of God in your life, but learn, in all things, to be thankful.

Do You Appreciate Him?

The Lord has poured out too much of His love, grace, and blessing on us for our hearts to not respond in zealous thanksgiving and praise. Let us have a fresh appreciation for His great blessing lest we look back and say, “We had something great, but we lost it.”

Labor To Enter His Rest, by John Robert Stevens. This message was spoken in Van Nuys, CA on Thursday, October 4, 1962. Hidden Treasure.

Labor To Enter His Rest

What does it mean to “enter the rest of the Lord” (Hebrews 4)? It means that you actively, aggressively serve God out of the holy relationship of your spirit with the Lord. It means that the Word of God in your life has severed the ability of your soul nature to govern and dominate you, and you have ceased from dead works that are born out of the soul realm. When you enter His rest, your soul and your body are brought into subjection to the drive of your spirit to do His will the way He chooses.

The Power Of Spiritual Relationships

Spiritual relationships are created by a Word from God and they are based on love, obedience and submission. The relationship between Christ and His mother Mary is an example for us of the spiritual-level relationships that God wants to create in the Body of Christ. Spiritual-level relationships are more powerful than any human-level relationship ever could be.

Revive God’s Power

The tragedy of Stephen’s death and the devastation of Saul’s persecutions against the Church did not dampen Philip’s drive to proclaim Christ.

Communion Meditation: Children In The Market

“Whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the market…” (Matthew 11:16). This parable epitomizes the reaction of every generation throughout history to the Word and the appearings of the Lord in their time. The only response that keeps a generation in step with what God is doing is their resolve and decision to move on with God, through times of joy or mourning.

Grace and love work opposite things in your life. Grace sets you free; love makes you a slave.

God is so endowing us with His love that we will compel men’s hearts to the Lord.
