Attitudes Of Heart That God Expects / Christ’s Dual Lordship / Assimilate What He Is, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, March 19, 1961. Hidden Treasure.
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
We must come to the Communion table with the realization that we can appropriate and assimilate the life of Christ–His nature, His attributes, and His wisdom–as we voluntarily surrender our life to Him.

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.

Religion that is born out of the Adamic flesh nature builds up a person’s self-esteem through externals, rituals, and minute observances.

Acquire His Divine Nature
Can we acquire a new nature? We certainly can! The secret is not in our willpower to change our nature, but in our constant praise to the Lord and our constant meditation and application of His Word in our heart.
The Purpose Of This Church
What is the difference between us and other churches? Our objective is to bring each individual to the place where they hear the voice of God and walk with Him in a ministry. This church is not based upon a religion of tradition or ritual; rather, it is a church based upon direct experiences from God. This Word is based upon the message titled, “This We Believe And Do Know,” point #31, from To Every Man That Asketh.

Make No Provision For Leaving
A dedication to God simply means that you no longer belong to yourself and that His will is the only law of your life. Make no provision for leaving the walk that God chooses for you. By His grace, say “yes” to His call.
What Is An Intercessor?
An intercessor must be unselfish and concerned only that the Lord be glorified and that God’s people be blessed. With joy and praise towards the Lord, the intercessor can turn the heart of the Lord and avert judgment.
Expand, Enlarge
You will lose God’s blessing on you if you allow the spiritual law of gravity to continue pulling against you. The law of gravity is reversed through the application of the cross experience of Christ in your life.

We Are Not An Independent Church
A New Testament Church is not under the oppressive denominational order of Babylon. Yet, it is also not an independent entity. Rather, it is submissive to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and thus strongly bonded together with the rest of the Body of Christ.
Hold Onto His Promises
The Lord’s promises carry within them the power of fulfillment. Do not stagger or draw back from the promises, but believe in them with all your heart, that you may enter into their unlimited fulfillment.
Principles Of Impartation
Lay hands only on the one whose heart has been prepared, so that the Word will be fulfilled by a walk in the Spirit and the work of the cross, not by human effort. This message is based upon Lesson 49, “Impartation,” of The First Principles.

Christ Revealed In Us
The one central theme in this glorious walk with God is the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

God always chooses the humble vessel to move through; no flesh will be glorified in this movement of God.

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.

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.

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.
