Available MP3 Download: Battles We Have To Lose / Do We Accept Our Circumstances?, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, January 23, 1966 and in Sepulveda, CA on Wednesday, January 26, 1966. Hidden Treasure.

Battles We Have To Lose

In his life, Jacob clearly profited from what was plain dishonesty. That is acceptable, from a worldly viewpoint. It looks like Jacob almost won. However, God wrestled with Jacob and brought him to total defeat so he could know real victory. As sons of God, we cannot succeed by human means, only by the blessing of the Lord.

Do We Accept Our Circumstances?

Your circumstances may be very factual, but they produce lying vanities. You do not have to submit to the defeat that your circumstances represent. Do not let Satan bluff you out with unbelief. Instead, determine to give the Lord the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and He will show you His great mercy and salvation.

Communion Meditation: Spiritual Appropriation

We tend to relate to the Communion on a physical level. However, eternal reality is not found in the natural, but in the spiritual realm. The spiritual substance of the Communion is just as real today as it was on the day that Christ was crucified. By faith, we can appropriate every miracle deliverance that the Communion holds.

A Parable Of Forgiveness

You must minister the same mercy and forgiveness that God has ministered to you. Forgiveness must predominate in this church. This is the secret to this church moving on in God and receiving all spiritual blessings.

Basic Principles Of Personal Ministry

In this message, John lays out the principles of personal ministry and emphasizes the importance of following the New Testament pattern of confirmation. The Word was preceded by an exhortation on how a spiritual balance between the men and the women affects the outreach ministry of the church.

Victory Depends On A Right Spirit

When you bristle with hostility or anger in response to spiritual assault or difficult circumstances, you have your eye on the wrong thing. Instead, keep your heart open to God and commit your way to Him. Focus on His mercy and greatness. In your humility and submission to God, you gain the leverage to displace the enemy.

Available MP3 Download: A Divine Focus / Why The Trials And Hindrances?, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, January 16, 1966. Hidden Treasure.

A Divine Focus

Everyone has problems that could keep them from walking on with God. The key to running the race with endurance is constant renewal by the Holy Spirit and constant appropriation of God’s grace. A divine focus prevents human discouragement. We need a faith that draws on yesterday’s provision for today’s strength, while it draws on tomorrow’s joy and fulfillment.

Why The Trials And Hindrances?

The reason that a trial or hindrance persists in your life may be because God is working a maturity in you, so that you can possess the fulfillment that He has for you. Nothing happens to a believer by chance; everything is ordered of the Lord. To the extent you open your heart and submit to God, He will remove the affliction from you.

When you possess something, you have the privileges of ownership, but you also take on the responsibilities of being an owner.

Joshua’s Preparation

Like Joshua of old, we are being led by the presence of the Lord into the spiritual Promised Land. In preparation for this, God is taking us through the spiritual equivalent of circumcision. We are getting ready for the biggest battle ever: not a battle of defense, but a battle of possession.

Invest, Invade, Inhabit

This move of God is fifty years ahead of its time. At the price of our present sacrifice, struggle, and stigma, we should reach into our future in God and borrow on the joys to come. We should invest, invade, and inhabit the future blessings of the Lord–right now!

Apply All Diligence — Part I

What is your goal? Will it glorify the Lord if it was accomplished? What are the steps to be taken to attain it? Be wholehearted! Unless you are wholehearted, you will drift through life and nothing of great consequence will happen to you.

Apply All Diligence — Part II

Be wholly given to the things of God; be diligent and disciplined in your spiritual life. Failure to do this produces discouragement and spiritual depression, which then causes your faith to waver. Apply all diligence, thereby making your life tremendously effective and fruitful.

The Secret Of Successful Christian Living

How do we avoid weariness of spirit? We draw the strength of the Lord in every situation. We live by the Word that we assimilate from God. This is the secret of successful Christian living.

It’s A Walk Of Love

A congregation does not come into maturity and perfection through legalism; it comes forth because it is dedicated to walk in love and forbearance, neither justifying nor condemning one another. This must be the attitude of a New Testament church.

The Quickest Way To Victory

The quickest way to victory is not a straight line, but through an approach of faith and joy towards God that ascends above and beyond your problems. This is the way to bring God’s victory into every situation.

The Problem Of Distorted Vision

Why are so many believers miserable? It’s because of the problem of distorted vision. People do not see themselves in light of what God has done in their lives, so they are not joyful and thankful to the Lord. This Thanksgiving Day message makes thanksgiving a way of life and clears our spiritual vision to constantly behold what the Lord has done for us.

Hearing The Word With Your Heart

The New Testament was born in an oriental setting where meditation was very common. Today, you can read the Word with your conscious mind and you can also meditate on it with your unconscious mind. This will unlock the full potential of God’s Word. One scripture fully believed could make the devils tremble, and change the course of lives and nations.

The Purpose Of Problems

Why do problems shake your faith? Because you are leaning on your own understanding. Problems are given to you to overcome, not to understand. If you trust in the Lord, He will lead you through to victory. You must recognize the Lordship of Jesus Christ and His claim over the whole of your life.

Right Now Faith Or Future Faith?

Your attitude about yourself must be that “I am right now what God says I am.” In unbelief, we have substituted hope for faith; but hope is a future faith that waits for a future fulfillment.

Communion Meditation: God’s Grace

What should the Communion table mean to us? It should represent the wonder and grandeur of all that God is making available to the believer, through His grace. Grace is God’s merciful provision, not just for the forgiveness of sin, but for a walk with Him for all time and eternity.

Three Definitions Of Grace

What is the grace of God? It is God’s merciful provision: 1) for all our development and progress; 2) for the fulfillment of His will in our lives; and 3) to enrich us beyond our needs. Grace is not earned or deserved; it is a part of God’s nature.

The Will, The Heart, And The Understanding

How do we become slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification (Romans 6:19)? Three things are involved: the will, the heart, and the understanding. Set your will to do the will of God. Set your heart to obey Him, even before you understand His will. As you set your will, your heart will respond, and then your understanding will follow.

Momentary Expectation

You must approach your life with the attitude that you are living your life right now. What you want to be in God, be it and walk in it today. Focus on an active faith in the present, rather than a hope for the future. Live with a momentary expectation and appropriation of God every day, moment by moment.

Faint Not
