The Remnant That Walks On Water / Respond Willingly, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, January 15, 1961. Hidden Treasure.
The Remnant That Walks On Water
Matthew chapter 14 describes four episodes that rapidly and completely unfold a picture of the Church Age.

That remnant will be so close to the Lord that He will hold them up when their own faith fails.
Respond Willingly
Just as God executed His will through Jonah, an unwilling and imperfect vessel, so also is God able to move through us. Jonah was unwilling in his service to the Lord; whereas, we desire the mercies of God to so work upon us that we see His love and respond willingly.

“I Am A Priest Of God!”
As kingly people for God’s own possession, our victory is inevitable because we are linked with Him who cannot be limited. Do not think of your inadequacy with a fake humility; rather, say, “I am a priest of God,” and believe it.
Behold The Image Of Christ
Man cannot worship what he cannot see. The answer to this seeming problem is not to make images of our concept of God, but rather to allow God to create images of Himself with His people. The world does not know God, and will never know God until it sees Christ in you.

Embrace Change / A Charge To The Timothys, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, March 24, 1963 and in South Gate, CA on Sunday, March 31, 1963. Hidden Treasure.
Embrace Change
The changes taking place in the natural realm only reflect what God has turned loose in the spirit realm. We must face changes with faith, knowing that the only thing that does not change is God Himself.
A Charge To The Timothys
Paul’s charge to Timothy was to preach the Word. However, Paul’s instruction was prompted by his revelation that Timothy’s anointing to speak the Word will come out of the fulness and overflow of the Word that had already been instilled in him. This process illustrates what God is doing today in creating able ministers of His Word.

His Grace For Our Unworthiness
To the extent that Christ assumed the human nature with all of its problems and needs, to that extent we can assume His divine nature. Thus, our evaluation of our human worthiness or unworthiness must not be the basis of our prayers or for how we approach God. We must have the faith and revelation of the centurion who, although he said to Christ, “I am not worthy,” did not draw back. The Word was preceded by an exhortation on tithing.
The Indivisible Mantle
The great ministry and varied anointings in Christ cannot be divisible, yet He has extended His personality into the varied individuals of His many-membered Body. The fulness of Christ is coming forth in a varied form within each individual. A revelation of the glory of this mystery leads us into a mutual faith and submission towards each other.

The Ministry Of Silence
At times, Christ would open up and talk freely, such as with the disciples on the road to Emmaus. At other times, such as amidst accusations or upon the cross, His Words were guarded and they were few. Christ did not speak unless the Father anointed Him to speak, and the times He refused to speak are very significant. There is a ministry of silence as well as the ministry of anointed speaking.

Firstfruits
In this Feast of Pentecost message, we find in Leviticus 23 the meaning of the firstfruits. We are the firstfruits, the instruments in God’s hand. The Kingdom of God is coming, and it is coming within you.
Learning By Impartation
The next frontier is to master the process of learning through impartation by the Holy Spirit. We have yet to delve into all the enablements that the Holy Spirit can provide for us.
Guidelines For Children In The Services
During a report on the current Church At Study program, John gives a vision for how to include children in church services. Our goal is to create one family in the household of faith, not separate churches within the church.

I Will Answer Thee
Come before the Lord and have faith to believe for truly great things to happen. Just call upon Him, and He will answer you. He is willing and able.
Exhortation On How To Worship
When God lifts His anointing from old traditions, we must reach in for a greater anointing and never get caught in ruts. We must be flexible to always move on with the Lord. This is the attitude we must have towards every form of worship we use. (This message has previously been printed in the book, Meditations For Worshipers.)

We Shall Walk In Greater Light / To The Least Among You, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Sepulveda, CA on Sunday, January 21, 1973 and in Sepulveda, CA on Friday, January 26, 1973. Hidden Treasure.
We Shall Walk In Greater Light
There are several elements that keep this walk with God alive: worship, a Word from God, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. This move of God would not exist without continual revelation and direction from God and an utter dependence upon Him. We must not die out and become a denomination.
To The Least Among You
“To the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me” (Matthew 25:40). This message deals with the basic attitude we must have toward one another. We must realize that what we do to the least among us, we do to Christ.

Ordained For Victory / To What Are You Dedicated?, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Sepulveda, CA on Sunday, November 12, 1972 and in Honolulu, HI on Wednesday, November 29, 1972. Hidden Treasure.
Ordained For Victory
The victory that Jonathan and his armor bearer won over the Philistines is very symbolic of the victory we will have in this time of great spiritual battle. We dedicate ourselves to this battle, knowing that the Lord has ordained us to victory.
To What Are You Dedicated?
A person may be dedicated to many different things. To what are you dedicated? Our dedication must be to the Lord, not to people, causes, or projects. Like Isaiah, our dedication must be born out of a revelation and a touch from the Lord. This message is preceded by an exhortation regarding the necessity of foundational teaching for the churches in our fellowship.

My Hunger For God
In this message, John reveals that his personal drive to seek the Lord and to walk with Him must have precedence over the demands of the ministry
The Expanding Walk
Each experience the Lord gives is not an end in itself–rather, every experience is meant to grow and expand into its full provision in the Lord.
Stir Up The Hope Within You
“The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory that is to be revealed to us” (Romans 8:18). God does not want you to despair. Stir up that living hope within you and the faith that believes God for impossible things. The Word was preceded by an update on the purchase of the Anaheim church.

Kingdom Discipleship / Creative Prophecy, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Saturday, March 10, 1973 and in Sepulveda, CA on Sunday, March 18, 1973. Hidden Treasure.
Kingdom Discipleship
During a report on a recent trip to Brazil, John talks about the difference between “converting” people with old order evangelism versus speaking the Word of the Lord to make true disciples and citizens of the Kingdom of God whose allegiance is to the Lordship of Christ.
Creative Prophecy
The distinctive mark of the end-time prophecy is its creative power. We must not only speak the prophecies that exhort and edify, but we must speak the creative prophecies that loose and bind, shake the nations, and bring forth the sons of God.

Be Addicted To God’s Word
We, as a people, must become addicted to God’s Word. It is our survival in every testing and trial. We must plant the Word deep in our hearts, absorb it into our spirits and let it grow until we are living epistles read and known of all men. The service began with a communion meditation about being changed in His image.
The Dawning Of His Parousia
The Parousia has dawned and it will invade every realm. The Kingdom of God will be established and the dominion of Satan brought down. His personal appearing to you begins with a revelation of the Lordship of Christ over you.

Communion Meditation: How Do You Swallow?
Faith is the magnet that draws and pulls the living Word to be assimilated into the human heart. Don’t lose your hunger for God–His Word is your strength. Following the Communion message, a short teaching was given on how to understand and relate in the spirit to those who would be antagonistic or hostile.
Guidelines For Effective Church Services
Our church services must meet the spiritual needs of the Body of Christ, including the children and those who are just beginning a walk with God. Several ideas for accomplishing this are given in this discussion between John and the brethren.

The Day Of Confirmed Revelation, by John Robert Stevens. This message was spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, December 24, 1972. Hidden Treasure.
The Day Of Confirmed Revelation
God wants the eyes of your heart, your spiritual perception and understanding, to be opened up so that you can have a revelation knowledge of Him and of yourself. When He reveals His will to you, submit it for confirmation. The capacity to see in the realm of spirit and to have confirmed revelation is essential to your maturity in God. The service included teaching about the Christmas season. During the ordination of a young man, an exhortation was given on how to relate to God’s people.

Are There Limits On Your Dedication?
Are you prepared to say an unconditional “yes” to the will of the Lord? Will you dare to think the new thoughts of the Kingdom? We must ask the Lord to help us out of our reservations and dedicate our lives completely to do His will.
Channels Of Grace
We must learn the simple keys to appropriate God’s promises. God, understanding the alienation between Him and humanity, created channels whereby He can make Himself available to us. Through Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit, we gain access to the Father, and His promises become our reality.

Pleasing To The Potter / Be Truthful, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Sepulveda, CA on Wednesday, May 31, 1972 and in Sepulveda, CA on Sunday, June 4, 1972. Hidden Treasure.
Pleasing To The Potter
The story in Jeremiah of the potter shaping the clay illustrates how the Lord molds and shapes us into vessels of honor. One of the first things He creates within us is a motivation so great that, above everything else, we want to serve Him even without human reward. We must submit to the Lord’s shaping hand and appropriate His will for our lives.
Be Truthful
It is essential that this walk with God be composed of men and women who are absolutely honest and open. If you are honest with yourself and with God, then nothing will be able to deceive you. Do not let your conscience be your guide; you have the Holy Spirit to convict you of these things. Also, God gave the gift ministries so that you could come to know the truth.

Don’t Murmur! / How We Ought To Conduct Ourselves In The House Of God, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Sepulveda, CA on Sunday, February 27, 1972 and in Sepulveda, CA on Wednesday, March 8, 1972. Hidden Treasure.
Don’t Murmur!
A murmurer and complainer is someone who frets against the Lord and objects to His dealings and the spiritual battle. Many things happen to you while God works His will in you. Do not murmur. Instead, worship Him and realize that you are on the eve of a great victory.
How We Ought To Conduct Ourselves In The House Of God
We must discipline ourselves and our children to show reverence for the presence of the Lord during our church services. An attitude of reverence is necessary so that the spiritual level of the services is high enough for the worship and Word to flow. The Word of correction should be heeded by parents and ministries.
