Priority In Prayer, by John Robert Stevens. This message was spoken in Washington, IA on Tuesday, May 14, 1963. Hidden Treasure.

Priority In Prayer

The priority of our prayer is not to change God’s mind, but to subordinate our will to His will. Our prayer must be a quest for God’s perfect will and His Kingdom, and an appropriation of the riches of His glory that His unchangeable will has declared is ours.

The Path To Greatness In God

Three Parables Of The End Time

The three parables of Matthew chapter 25 are a beautiful illustration of how the testimony of God will be ministered in the earth during the end time.

He Fulfilled Every Need / The Principle Of Divine Superabundance, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, March 31, 1963 and in South Gate, CA on Sunday, April 7, 1963. Hidden Treasure.

He Fulfilled Every Need

Christ’s death and resurrection accomplished more than the forgiveness of your sins. Every area of your need, every aspect of your nature was embraced by Christ during His crucifixion, so that through His resurrection, your entire life would be transformed. The Word was preceded by a living prophecy that ended discouragement.

The Principle Of Divine Superabundance

We have yet to exercise the full force of the principle of divine superabundance. God intends for you to have an abundant, joyful and miraculous life. However, superabundance is a result of your great expectation and persevering faith.

Aggressive Faith

We must have an active, aggressive attitude of faith in our approach to the Lord.

By the victory that Christ won on the cross, we can step forth to move in the Word and walk in it and become it.

“I Cannot Judge Myself”

In this message, John shares with us how the Lord has been dealing with him the past week and the vision of the Apostle Paul that he experienced. The apostolic ministry that God is creating today must have a humility to serve, a faith to shake off the satanic viper, and a trust that God will finish the work He has begun within him.

Our Revelation Of His Fullness

Any legalism in your mind must die because it breeds self-condemnation. God’s grace, not the law, is the answer to your need. Keep a focus on a revelation of the Lord because, if you see Him as He is, you will be just like Him.

The Compelling Force Of Love / Be Involved, Not Removed, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, July 8, 1962 and in Washington, IA on Monday, July 9, 1962. Hidden Treasure.

The Compelling Force Of Love

Grace and love work opposite things in your life. Grace sets you free; love makes you a slave. Grace cancels all debts and obligations; love is a compelling, constraining force that drives you to complete the work He has set before you to do. God is so endowing us with His love that we will compel men’s hearts to the Lord.

Be Involved, Not Removed

Christ’s prayer is not for us to escape from the world (John 17:15), but that we be a challenging force to wickedness and evil. We are to be involved in the earth, manifesting Him and His testimony. This message was originally a radio broadcast aired in Washington, Iowa on July 9, 1962.

Attitudes Of Heart That God Expects

The Lord wants us to have certain attitudes towards each other and towards Him. We must have an attitude of carefulness so that we do not stumble our brother; of faithfulness so that we rebuke him when he sins; and of forgiveness, which is the key to the New Testament church. Towards the Lord, we must have an attitude of faith, submissive dedication, and thanksgiving, so that God’s blessings are not shut off from us.

Christ’s Dual Lordship

There are two areas of the Lordship of Christ: His Lordship over everything in heaven and earth; and His specific Lordship over His Body, the Church. As the Body of Christ deepens her submission to Christ as Lord, then there will be greater manifestations of His headship over all kingdoms, principalities, and powers.

Assimilate What He Is

God’s Will For Evangelism

In the evangelism that the Lord wants in this hour, He gives us the words to say to every needy man that comes to us. God wants us to be the channels and agents of the destiny He had planned before the foundation of the world for that person.

“As For Me…”

How should I react if I have been betrayed or am ridiculed by others? As David declared in the Psalms, “As for me,…” I will seek the face of the Lord.

Seek God’s Wisdom

There are two kinds of wisdom. Earthly wisdom is derived from what a person sees, feels, and hears, and it is motivated by selfish ambitions. However, the wisdom acquired from God gives us understanding of the things of the Lord, leads us and guides us, and bears witness to the will of God for our lives.

Reap Life Everlasting

If we sow in the flesh, we will reap corruption; but if we sow in the Spirit, we will reap life everlasting. Therefore, those who desire divine health will not find it solely by focusing on fleshly practices of the perfect diet and lifestyle, but they must also practice the laws of God and function in the Spirit.

Of What Are You Born? / Participate In God’s Attributes, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, April 2, 1961. Hidden Treasure.

Of What Are You Born?

Religion that is born out of the Adamic flesh nature builds up a person’s self-esteem through externals, rituals, and minute observances. However, those who are born by the Spirit are a humble people, chosen by God to be filled with His divine strength and wisdom, to complete Christ’s ministry in the earth.

Participate In God’s Attributes

God is incomprehensible and His attributes are limitless; but He desires to reproduce Himself in us. Therefore, expose yourself to the Lord that He may impart His attributes and nature to you. This impartation is the greatest miracle of all eternity.
