Personal ministry prior to the Word included teaching on authority, faith, and self-condemnation.
We Bind The Strongman
Satan is loosing a flood tide against us to keep us from coming into what God has for us. This brief prophetic Word binds the strongman and prepares us for Tabernacles.

Communion Meditation: His Life-Giving Sustenance

God’s Hovering Spirit And His Creative Word
In the beginning, God’s Spirit hovered over the chaos of a void and formless earth; then He spoke a Word and turned the chaos into His beautiful creation! Is there chaos in your life? Don’t worry!

What Lies Within?
The human spirit can broadcast things from your flesh life, whether it be wrath, lust, or bitterness.

You will be delivered according to your faith.
Repentance In His Presence
The flesh nature is a veil that separates you from the glory and the presence of the Lord. The veil is broken as you live before Him in continual repentance and worship.

The Principle Of The Wilderness — Part I
A spiritual wilderness is the barren period that usually comes after a great deliverance and before the possession of a new promise. It is a temporary, necessary time of transition and preparation. It should not be a time of confusion or fear, but the most guided time of your life.
The Principle Of The Wilderness — Part II
A spiritual wilderness can be a time of confusion, but it does not have to be. Do not focus on the problems and the barrenness of the wilderness. Stay focused on the Lord’s presence and you will come through it with victory.
We Feast On A Battlefield
We are seated at the table of the Lord, and God intends for you to feast upon His fullness. But He spreads His table upon a battlefield. Do not draw back from it. There is no other way that God will do it. It pleases Him to overcome Satan through humble vessels.

Proclaim The Lord’s Death
When we proclaim the Lord’s death at the Communion table, it brings His sacrifice into the present. If you have faith to believe, you can experience Christ’s sacrifice in Communion as if it were happening at that very moment, for you and you alone.
Bearers Of Divine Love
As disciples, we must appropriate God’s divine love and become bearers of it to the earth. When you carry God’s love in your heart, you have no choice but to become involved. It is this love that will draw men to walk with God.
Divine Order For The Home

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.

To Be His Disciple / Love, Unity And Oneness, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Thursday, February 11, 1965 and in Sepulveda, CA on Friday, February 12, 1965. Hidden Treasure.
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.

Faith Working Through Love
When the Christ-life begins to come forth in you, it cannot do anything else but prevail. You must have a basic faith and a basic love for what God is bringing forth in you.

Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea
There comes a time in following the Lord that He leads you to a difficult place. As He did with the Israelites, He boxes you in, between the Egyptians and the sea. In such a hopeless situation, will you have faith to stand still and watch His divine intervention?
A Watch Night Service
In this watch night service, John declares that 1965 will be a challenging year. However, we determine to not be victims of spiritual harassment, but to be the aggressive cause of many things happening. As the pattern of other years is broken, we stand ready to possess everything God has for us.

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

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.

A Prayer For Light And A Prayer For Life
In this expository sermon, John Stevens contrasts two prayers by the Apostle Paul: Ephesians 1:15-23 and 3:14-21. The first is a prayer of enlightenment, that we may see what God has for us.

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.

The Heavens Declare
In this exposition of Psalm 19, we learn how God’s Word is revealed through the scriptures and through nature, His creation. In either way, our understanding of His Word requires progressive revelation, not human understanding.
Accept His Perfect Victory
Your only battle is the unbelief in your heart because Christ has already won the victory. Stand with aggressive faith and proclaim, “Christ within me, with all His power and authority, is greater than all that comes against me,” and let the powerful victory of Christ manifest itself through you.

I Have Given You Authority
Although we may have endurance, power, and gifts of the Spirit, it does not imply that we have authority.

A Study Of Worms Anonymous
When God wants to do something, He is careful not to use an instrument that is equal in size and number to the adversary. Therefore, “do not fear, you worm Jacob… I have made you a new, sharp threshing sledge… and you will thresh mountains…” (Isa. 41:13-15). He creates a deep submission and humility in you so that you can accomplish His will with His strength. This makes you a member of His special club, “Worms Anonymous.”

How Much Will You Appropriate?
Christ completely appropriated every weakness, failure, and need of the human race, so that He could win our battle and open the door for us to completely appropriate His fullness.
