When To Flee And When To Fight / Reap Life Everlasting, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, April 23, 1961. Hidden Treasure.

When To Flee And When To Fight

In this Word, the young ministries are instructed when to flee and when to fight. Flee from situations that tempt the flesh nature and fight, with faith, to do God’s will. The discipline to know when to flee or to fight prepares you to overcome life’s trials and saves you from many heartbreaks.

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.

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. There is to be only one remnant that will step out into the supernatural walk and receive the Lord’s greater promises and deliverance. 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.

Christ Revealed In Us

The one central theme in this glorious walk with God is the Lordship of Jesus Christ. As each one of us submerges our individuality under His Lordship and into the Body of Christ, we will see greater and greater manifestations of the Lord through us. This is the mystery whereby Christ is revealed to the world.

Lord, Enlarge Our Capacity

God always chooses the humble vessel to move through; no flesh will be glorified in this movement of God. In this Word, John exposes his burden for the people that they might have enough faith, by God’s grace, to receive and believe in the abundant blessing He is pouring upon them in these latter days.

Dig Out This Unbelief

This Word gives us keys to moving in faith. We must dwell upon His worthiness and not upon our own, focus on His Word and not on our circumstances, and appropriate His Word with a living faith instead of merely assenting to its truth.

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 Word explains the principles of how to discern the truth from the false, and for those who hunger to do His will, it eliminates the fear of being deceived.

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.

The miracle described in John chapter 2 of water being turned into wine is symbolic of what God is doing today. God saves the best wine for last. We must anticipate the greatest outpourings of God’s spirit that the world has ever seen because the best miracles are yet to come. The translation into Spanish was given as the Word came and is included on the tape.

Don’t Be Afar Off

Do not be discouraged. Do not be afar off. The purpose of this spiritual assault is to cause delay, and it will be ended as you wait on the Lord and pray for the apostolic ministry.

Firstfruits / Learning By Impartation / Guidelines For Children In The Services, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, June 10, 1973, in South Gate, CA on Sunday, June 10, 1973, and in South Gate, CA on Sunday, November 4, 1973. Hidden Treasure.

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 / Exhortation On How To Worship, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Sepulveda, CA on Saturday, June 16, 1973 and in Honolulu, HI on Wednesday, June 27, 1973. Hidden Treasure.

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 / The Expanding Walk / Stir Up The Hope Within You, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Sepulveda, CA on Thursday, May 3, 1973, in Sepulveda, CA on Sunday, May 20, 1973, and in Sepulveda, CA on Sunday, June 3, 1973. Hidden Treasure.

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 / The Dawning Of His Parousia, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, January 14, 1973 and in Phoenix, AZ on Tuesday, January 23, 1973. Hidden Treasure.

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.

A Sense Of God’s Presence

This Is The Way, Walk Ye In It

Rejoice that the Lord, in our generation, has given us a clear Word and has illuminated the path on which we should walk! This message was originally published in This Week, 3-11-73.

Be Not Entangled

In the midst of prayer and prophecy, the Lord reminded us to seek first the Kingdom and His righteousness. We, as soldiers, can not become entangled with the affairs of this life. We must be dedicated to be the miracle that the Lord needs in the earth right now.
