Seek The Lord And His Strength, by John Robert Stevens. This message was spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, May 23, 1971. Hidden Treasure.

Seek The Lord And His Strength

Communion Meditation: How Much God Has Given, How Little We Have Taken / The Relentless Force, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Sepulveda, CA on Sunday, April 30, 1972. Hidden Treasure.

Communion Meditation: How Much God Has Given, How Little We Have Taken

During the Communion service, we do not deny or ignore problems and sins, but we appropriate the stream of grace that flows by the blood of Jesus Christ. There is nothing–whether physical or spiritual or mental–that can stand against the fullness of God being ours. (This message has been published as, “How Much God Has Given, How Little We Have Taken,” This Week, 8-15-76.)

The Relentless Force

It is impossible to stop the moving of God. If you resist the force of His moving, it will grind you to powder. If you determine to work with His force, it will become your life and salvation. In this Word, seven practical steps were given to help us tune into the relentless force of God. The Word was preceded by an exhortation on the significance of the Sabbath.

We’ve Reached The Point Of Miracles / The Power Of A Positive Focus, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Saturday, March 20, 1971 and in Sepulveda, CA on Thursday, October 21, 1971. Hidden Treasure.

We’ve Reached The Point Of Miracles

Following the Bless-In teaching (“Appropriate What’s Yours”), the Word continued to flow from our apostle on several topics: our victory in the Lord, becoming oracles of God’s Word; and, our need for daily miracles.

The Power Of A Positive Focus

By keeping a positive focus on the Lord, we can avoid Satan’s depressing, discouraging assaults. Satan tries to frustrate us by magnifying the nonessentials. This exhortation is an answer to the spiritual battle that usually follows the Feast of Tabernacles.

An Exhortation On Bridging The Gap / The Seven Areas Of Limitations, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, February 7, 1971 and in Honolulu, HI on Thursday, June 24, 1971. Hidden Treasure.

An Exhortation On Bridging The Gap

In this exhortation, a vision is imparted for how the ministry school videotapes and the home meetings can be instruments to help people bridge the gap between what they have known in old order church and what God is doing now in this walk with Him.

The Seven Areas Of Limitations

In this Word, seven types of limitations are identified. One underlying law applies to all limitations: unselfish dedication coupled with earnest prayer brings a complete deliverance from the limitations. There should be no limitations for a people who are dedicated to doing God’s will. This Word confronts our acceptance of limitations.

The Music Of The Kingdom, by John Robert Stevens. This message was spoken in South Gate, CA on Saturday, January 23, 1971. Hidden Treasure.

The Music Of The Kingdom

This Bless-In service begins with teaching on how to receive a spiritual blessing from the Lord and how a “Bless-In” works. Personal ministry was given to several as blessings were imparted and received. Following this, a vision and a drive was imparted for the music of the Kingdom. We have yet to write the songs that will move the world by the power of the Holy Spirit.

How The Blessing Flows / Communion Meditation: What Is Reality?, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Sepulveda, CA on Saturday, October 9, 1971 and in South Gate, CA on Sunday, October 17, 1971. Hidden Treasure.

How The Blessing Flows

A Bless-In is not based upon your efforts, but it is based upon opening your spirit to the Lord and taking down your walls to your brother. Draw the blessing directly from God, then deliver it to your brother. This is how the miracle flow of God’s blessing begins.

Communion Meditation: What Is Reality?

There are two types of wisdom: the wisdom of this world and the deep, hidden wisdom which God is bringing forth. One is based upon appearance and the other is based upon revelation. The great contest between reality and illusion is ended when we realize that the only reality is what God has spoken and we believe His Word.

Be A Believer! / Our God–Personal Yet Impersonal / Joyful Pursuit, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Lake Darling, IA on Monday, July 19, 1971, in Sepulveda, CA on Wednesday, September 1, 1971, and in South Gate, CA on Thursday, September 16, 1971. Hidden Treasure.

Be A Believer!

Be a believer! Faith is not brought about by human reasoning but by your decision to believe. This decision is the basis of your personal walk with God.

Our God–Personal Yet Impersonal

The changes we are experiencing in this walk with God are so impersonal, yet through those changes, He ministers to you so personally.

Joyful Pursuit

One of our greatest occupations as Christians should be repentance. We need to repent of our murmuring and complaining. We should rejoice through our trials, not grunt and groan through them. This message teaches us the key of joyful pursuit of the will of the Lord. “The man who lives by faith will rejoice continually.”

Believe To Be A Believer, by John Robert Stevens. This message was spoken in South Gate, CA on Saturday, January 30, 1971. Hidden Treasure.

Believe To Be A Believer

The most difficult thing in the world is for us to be believers. Man seems to be almost incurable in doubting, being skeptical, and bitter. We are going to go through some difficult times in the years ahead. The important thing is to believe that this is the hour of destiny for the whole earth and to believe what God has for you to fulfill. (This message has previously been printed as, “Believe To Be A Believer,” This Week, 10-1-72.)

Don’t Let The Fire Go Out!, by John Robert Stevens. This message was spoken in Washington, IA on Monday, May 22, 1972. Hidden Treasure.

Don’t Let The Fire Go Out!

Christ started a fire in His day and He is kindling it again today–a fire that is going to bring forth the first fruits of the Kingdom. The spirit of this age is passivity. If you put the fire out, it will never be kindled again in this generation. Do not let the fire go out! The service concluded with guidelines for the functioning of the apostolic company.

Deliverance In The Remnant / Honesty Of Heart, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Tuesday, February 15, 1972 and in South Gate, CA on Tuesday, February 22, 1972. Hidden Treasure.

Deliverance In The Remnant

In this exhortation, God reminds us that both mercy and judgment will be evident in the days of tribulation, and that He will bring deliverance in the remnant of people that He is calling forth.

Honesty Of Heart

The quickest way to get rid of a problem in your nature is to confess it, humble yourself, and believe that the Lord is faithful and just to forgive you. We must have a sensitive, anointed conscience that is open to the Lord and does not seek to justify itself. This sensitivity creates a love for righteousness and for the purity of the Lord. (This message was also printed as a This Week, 5-13-73.)

A Workshop On Worship / Exhortation: Why Personal Ministry?, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Sepulveda, CA on Wednesday, June 3, 1970 and in South Gate, CA on Sunday, September 6, 1970. Hidden Treasure.

A Workshop On Worship

Real worship to the Lord must be on the spirit level and it must be free of any restraint. In this workshop, many practical guidelines are given for effective, spiritual worship. The service concludes with an exhortation on the carefulness we must have to seek the mind of the Lord for decisions on church expenses.

Exhortation: Why Personal Ministry?

In this short exhortation to a group of newcomers, principles are given on the purpose of personal ministry. In this walk with God, we endeavor to minister and impart the spiritual experiences that are just a theory for many Christians.
