The Creative Power Of God To Purify
Psalm 51, the great psalm of repentance, shows us the pattern for effective repentance. Just as David did, approach the Lord with a broken spirit, acknowledge your sin, and confess it to Him. Appropriate God’s creative power to cleanse you from all unrighteousness and to give you a new heart to serve Him. God will then build spiritual walls of immunity around you.

Available MP3 Download: Fear Closes The Doors / Real Repentance, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Sepulveda, CA on Friday, May 7, 1965 and in Sepulveda, CA on Sunday, May 9, 1965. Hidden Treasure.
Fear Closes The Doors
While the world is full of doubt and fear, you should be linked into a divine destiny that gives purpose and meaning to your life. Then, you will have the backing of Christ’s authority to do whatever He sent you to do. Otherwise, you may find your life so paralyzed by fear that you never accomplish the great things that you want to do in God.
Real Repentance
The closer a man gets to God, the more he becomes a real repenter. Real repentance involves three steps: prayer for mercy and forgiveness; prayer for the creative power of God; and prayer for dedication and service. When you see your need, look to God to create in you the thing that you lack.

Principles Of Victory In Spiritual Conflict
Satan is assaulting us in this day just as he assaulted such men of God as John the Baptist and Martin Luther, because we too are walking in the greater divine truths of our time. In the midst of spiritual conflict, we must understand five principles that open the door to our victory or to our defeat. This Word explains all five principles and how to apply them.
Footwashing: A Lesson In Body Ministry
In footwashing, we see the expression of a great revelation: as a man is elevated into authority, he must also have a humble dedication to serve. Footwashing is not a lesson in humility; it is a lesson in Body ministry.

There Are No Favorites With God / A Mature Son Is Led By The Spirit, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Thursday, April 29, 1965 and in South Gate, CA on Sunday, May 2, 1965. Hidden Treasure.
There Are No Favorites With God
In this Word, John talks about four problems: pride, worry, indifference and instability. The answer to these problems is found in a deep realization that John came to regarding his own personal relationship with the Lord: There are no favorites with God. If anyone excels, it will not be favortism on God’s part; rather, it will be the humility, faith, and steadfastness with which a person responds to everything God says and does that brings fruitfulness.
A Mature Son Is Led By The Spirit
The mature spiritual believer is guided by God; whereas, the immature believer governs his life independently of God. As you come into sonship, you relinquish the direction of your life unto Him, and you execute the leading of His Spirit. This message was also spoken on April 25, 1965 Sunday AM in Sepulveda, CA and was released under the title, “The Guidance Of The Holy Spirit–Romans 8:14,” and printed in the book, Romans 8 Outlines, as a chapter titled, “Guidance Of The Spirit.”

The next step for Grace Chapel of South Gate is for every member to boldly move as a witness of the Lord Jesus Christ. The blessing, the love, and the wisdom that God has given us are not an end in themselves; they are the equipment for effective witnessing to bring people into the purpose of God for their lives.
Will You Be His Witness?
Boldness to witness for Jesus Christ is an essential element in the well-rounded growth of a church. Witnessing brings persecution, which makes us grow as we find our strength in the church. We worship, we walk, and we war. Now, we take the next step: we witness.

The Law Of The Spirit
If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law, but under the grace of God. However, grace is not a matter of lawlessness; it is a matter of submitting to the law of the Spirit. The flesh and the spirit are warring against each other. The law of the Spirit of life sets us free from the law of sin and death!
Remember Lot’s Wife
There is a unique jeopardy that souls are placed in at the end of a dispensation. Lot’s wife is a picture of the carnal Christian in the last days. She became a memorial to those who are tempted to draw back from God. Do not be a half-hearted follower of the Lord. Be delivered from the spirit of this age!

Overcome Heaviness
The life that we seek is attained by throwing off the death and heaviness that the enemy brings to us. The moving of the Lord does not happen in a passive state. Don’t submit to the heaviness; it’s a spiritual state that can be overcome.
Activate The Word
God’s promises do not happen automatically. You have more to do with their fulfillment than you think. How do you activate the Word in your life? Meditate on it; speak it day and night. No matter what comes, stay with that promise until it comes to pass.
A Company Of Timothys
This church is created as an incubator to birth sons of God. If we are to touch the whole world, we must see a company of young “Timothys” come forth–young people filled with the Word, dedicated to the things of God, and seeking for the welfare of the Body of Christ.

Give God Your Best
The book of Malachi speaks not only of the time before Christ’s birth, but it also shows us what is to be at the close of this dispensation. God is dealing with our spirits to be right before Him, to give Him our best, and to be true worshipers. All of this is preparation to do the will of God in the end time.
You Need To Feed
Unless you have a foundation in the Scriptures, you will drift away from everything that God has given you. The Word of God, hidden in your heart, displaces your flesh nature, fortifies your faith, and opens up His grace in your life. Consistent reading of the Scriptures is not a luxury; it is essential to the spiritual life of every person and family in this church.

Wait On The Word

Giving Attendance To The Means Of Grace
We are moving against a spiritual tide in this day; the force of sin is pulling us down. We must understand God’s requirement of us in the way we approach Him. There should be a wholeheartedness in everything we do. What are we neglecting? We must discipline ourselves to appropriate the means of grace.
God’s Contentment
Happiness is not a state of mind; it’s a decision. You decide to be contented and then you also look to God to give you the grace to be contented. Even the prayer of persistence doesn’t preclude having contentment within your own spirit.

Serve God Now, While Yet In This Condition
“As God has called each, in this manner let him walk” (I Cor. 7:17b). In other words, God has called you to walk with Him now, not when your troubling circumstances have passed. No marital or family problem, or physical affliction, is reason to hold back from walking with the Lord this very day! This Word contains timeless teaching on the covenant of marriage.
Be Conductive
The Word of God is two-fold. First, God speaks a Word that creates it into a reality in the spirit realm. Then, as you speak His Word and move in a faith action on that Word, you become the conductor by which it is translated out of the spirit and manifested in the physical realm. If we would walk in this simple principle, our lives would be enriched one thousand percent.

To Be His Disciple
Discipleship requires that you dethrone everything that is close and dear to you so that, in the realm of your spirit, there is no one else except the Lord. Any relationship in your life becomes a form of spiritual idolatry unless, by the cross of Christ, you die to it. As you love and serve the Lord first, you will better love and serve others, including your family.
Love, Unity And Oneness
When you love someone, you want to be with them and you want to live within them. This great force of love is the next plane of experience that God is bringing. The world creates unity through organization and cooperation, but the spiritual oneness that God wants to create is seldom understood.

Love: The King’s Highway
Is it possible to move in the gifts of the Spirit without edifying the Body? What is beyond the gifts of the Spirit? Love is a higher plane that God wants us to move in. It is the more excellent way, the King’s Highway.
Christ Is Coming Forth Within Us
It is difficult to understand the paradoxical nature of a real man of God. Paul said, “We have this treasure in earthen vessels.” You see the poverty of the man, but also you see the richness of the man. God is interwoven into his nature. It is Christ coming forth within us.

A Continual Feeding / “Sir, We Would See Jesus!”, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, December 13, 1964. Hidden Treasure.
A Continual Feeding
When your hope grows a little dim and your relationship with the Lord gets a little rusty, you must have something to feed your vision. You must have a way of constantly renewing your experience in the Lord. Holy Communion is meant to be the provision where you appropriate afresh the life of Christ.
“Sir, We Would See Jesus!”
This church was born out of a meeting with God. Other churches may survive on traditions and history, but we must have a fresh meeting with the Lord every time we walk in these doors. Everything will fail unless we meet Him. Lord, fill these vessels full again!

Receive The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is given to all believers who will receive it. In this message, we receive instruction on how to receive the Holy Spirit and to speak in tongues.
Why Does Satan Fight Us?
We are living in the beginning of the end-time conflict. Satan is making a bold bid to take over the world. This church is to be a center of spiritual warfare, raised up to manifest the victory of Christ. Satan fights us so hard because we are in striking distance of becoming the most effective move of God the world has ever seen.

A Thanksgiving Day Message From Psalm 103
In this Thanksgiving Day message, John expounds the blessings and the benefits of serving the Lord. Instead of having a life that is without meaning, God says, “I will link you to My eternal plan and purpose.” This was the first service held in the newly-built Valley church.
Four Aspects Of Involvement
The soul tends to drift away from the truth. In a very practical manner, you need to check the ways that you may be neglecting or drifting away from the Word that you have heard. This message addresses four aspects of involvement: personal, congregational, family, and community. What can you do to be more involved?

Wrecking The Nest
We are in search of security, but God is in search of sons. He loves us, so He stirs up our nest until we are forced out of our comfort zone and into becoming steadfast worshipers that do not waver with circumstances. Praise God for the discipline of disturbance!
Be Not Conformed To This World
People are afraid of being different, of being a non-conformist. The course of human history is one of conformity. However, God does something special for the non-conformist who will not bow down to the spirit of the age. We will find unity in the diversity of gifts and ministries that God is bringing forth in His Body today.

Jonah, The Prophet Without Love — Part I
Jonah was a prophet, but when God commanded him to love the people of Ninevah, Jonah ran away. When Jonah refused to love, he caused a near catastrophe, and he became isolated and lonely. God is challenging us, too, to love His people. Unlike Jonah, we choose not to run, but to open our hearts to love. This message was previously printed in the book, Sparks From The Altar.
Jonah, The Prophet Without Love — Part II
Jonah eventually obeyed God’s will, with reluctance and without love. Consequently, he was isolated and lonely; love did not flow from him or to him. We must not run away from love, as Jonah did; for without love, we have lost God’s creative force in the world.

The Workings Of The Holy Spirit
When you come into a relationship with Jesus Christ, you automatically become an heir of God. One of the basic functions of the Holy Spirit is to show you how rich you are in Christ. The Holy Spirit is designated to bring you those blessings. There are promises reserved in the great plan of God for us to walk in today. The Holy Spirit lifts the veil so that you may know the things freely given to you by God.
Do Not Regard Lying Vanities — Part I

The Priestly Ministry
It is inevitable that offenses, discord, and sin will occur in a church. However, the priestly ministry of a people within the church can avert God’s judgment on the congregation and bring deliverance. At the first sign of God’s dealings, they are dedicated to fall upon their faces and to intercede and cry out to God for mercy.
Plead From A Position Of Victory
The blood of Christ is our protection and provision, and it is the eternal sign of Satan’s defeat. Why then are we not moving in more of God? As we stand in the victory that His blood has provided, we must also simplify our life so that the voice and the leading of God can come through to us.

Take Your Position
We must cultivate an awareness of our authority in Jesus Christ over the principalities and powers. We must take our position in that upper spiritual realm, because that is the place of victory. We do not battle against flesh and blood; ninety-five percent of our problems come directly from the principalities and powers that assail us. Regardless of how the enemy comes against us, we must absolutely maintain unity and love toward one another.
Winning Souls By Binding The Power Of Satan
Do not despise the work of an evangelist, because no church will grow and flourish unless it has the vision for winning souls to Christ. We should never neglect real Christian witnessing, however it must be done on a different plane. First, bind the power of Satan that blinds a person from a revelation of the Lord, then minister only love to that individual. With this formula, the Lord receives the glory.

In the story of the prodigal son, the older brother lived with his father, but never anticipated the many blessings that were in his father’s heart for him. When he complained in anger and jealousy, his father said simply, “Son, all that I have is yours.” The father’s wealth had always been available, but the elder son did not have the anticipation and faith to appropriate it. We must not be like this elder son. We must have a prevailing faith that will contend earnestly for what He has for us, that which is beyond what we can ever ask or imagine.

When we realize the power that He is beaming towards us and receive it as the divine enabling of our lives, we become His fullness and He becomes ours.

Available MP3 Download: Are There Rocks In Your Well? / I Am One With Thee, O Lord, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Northridge, Ca. on Sunday, August 23, 1964 and in Van Nuys, Ca. on Thursday, August 27, 1964. Hidden Treasure.
Are There Rocks In Your Well?
The story of Isaac digging the wells of his father Abraham is a warning to us of what can happen when we allow the flow of God’s blessings to become choked off. The focus of your spirit is the key for keeping the well of blessings flowing.
I Am One With Thee, O Lord
Your future unfolds – the wealth of it, the wonder of it, the miracle of it – the minute that you say, “I’m one with Thee, O Lord.” Stop worshipping and praying as though you are something remote from the Lord. You are one with Him, and in that oneness, there is the promise of fruitfulness.

The Anointing That Restores
The anointing that began with Christ, the Head, is now coming upon the great Body of Christ to raise up “the desolations of many generations.” We are to be the ones that, by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, restore the foundations that God laid in former generations.

Undefiled Vessels Of Honor
As we stand on the brink of entering into the promised land, we declare that we are His vessels of honor and that nothing will defile or dilute what God will minister through us. The service concluded with an ordination in which John teaches how the bonds created by the Holy Spirit supersede denominational relationships.
Let Envy And Jealousy Be Removed
Whenever we are envious or jealous, we open a door for demon powers to assault the house of God and to retard the spiritual growth of God’s people. This message identifies a pitfall in Body ministry that, if corrected, would cause the Shekinah glory to return.

God Is No Respecter Of Persons
God is no respecter of persons. His river of grace has been extended to all men and He judges righteously between every man. This Word was born out of God’s personal dealings with our apostolic father, and it helps us to understand the peculiar dealings of God in each of our lives.
Is Your Father’s Well Still Flowing?
When the wells of God’s Spirit are opened up, there is no guarantee that those wells will continue to flow. Every generation must constantly keep guard that no contaminant of the human spirit causes God’s outpouring to dry up or choke off. Is the well of your Father still flowing?

Sow To The Spirit
Sow to the flesh and you will reap corruption, but sow to the Spirit, and you will have eternal life. In times of discouragement, remember this law of the harvest and do not grow weary in well doing.
If Any Man Is Thirsty
God is no respecter of persons. His grace is available to all men and His Spirit is to be poured out upon all flesh. However, not all men will receive His grace or be filled with His Spirit. Human initiative is involved; and whosoever will, may come and drink of the river of life.

Guard Against Spiritual Pride
This apostolic Word of correction warns against the spiritual pride that would hinder the return of the glory of the Lord. Instruction is given on how to bring the services into a higher spiritual level. This Word to the people of Grace Chapel came during a historic time when many sons were being launched out of this church to minister in the Valley church.
To This Man Will I Look
The testing of our faith produces endurance; endurance then brings us to a place of perfection and completeness where we lack nothing. The end product of our testing is that we have not only the wisdom of God, but we have the humble spirit through which many promises are fulfilled.

In these days when God is pouring out His Spirit on all flesh, the anointing for prophecy will increase and become an essential part of every believer’s life. Through prophecy, God edifies, tears down, destroys, overthrows, plucks up, creates, builds, heals, and reveals man’s innermost being.

The Quickest Way Through A Wilderness — Part I
A wilderness experience is necessary preparation before entering Canaan; it is the barren period between the old and the new. What is the secret to a victorious walk through the wilderness? Keep your eye on the pillar of fire! Do not let a wilderness become a time of confusion or discouragement, but walk through it with a purpose: “I’m going to Canaan!”

Especially That You May Prophesy

The Scope And Purpose Of Prophecy
As part of the outpouring of God’s Spirit in this dispensation, there will be the anointing for prophecy. Much of the work of creation, judgment, cleansing, impartation and purification is done through prophecy. Speak according to the proportion of your faith. If prophecy in this walk with God would ever diminish, then the defeat and the distractions would increase. (This message is taken from the study manual Prophetic Utterance, lesson two, point IV.)

Hide In His Pavilion
Psalm 27 gives us a picture of what real worship in the local church creates — the wonderful manifestation of His presence in which we take refuge.
I Shall Not Want
God’s provisions exceed your experience of them; His plan for you exceeds your vision of it; His promises exceed your appropriation of them; and His victory exceeds your application of it. This rich, personal walk with God, as described in Psalm 23, can be yours today.

The Unpardonable Sin
An unpardonable sin is a state of heart where you have lost all sensitivity and responsiveness to the conviction of the Holy Spirit. There is no limitation to the grace of God, but there is no forgiveness without repentance. This Word is a spiritual “check-up” for every Christian.
Are You Hindered By Self-Pity And Scapegoats?
Dwelling in self-pity or looking for scapegoats holds you back from the effective ministry and the walk that God wants you to have with Him. Don’t run away from your problems and difficulties, but with thanksgiving and praise, look to God for grace to deal with them.
