Reception, Dedication, Execution

Reception, dedication, execution–these are three stages every believer encounters in this walk with God. Yet, within each stage lies a danger. What stage are you in? Be aware of the dangers therein and walk aggressively, in no way alarmed by your opponents, which is destruction for them!

The Law Of The Spirit / Remember Lot’s Wife, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, April 4, 1965 and in South Gate, CA on Sunday, April 11, 1965. Hidden Treasure.

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!

If Any Of You Lack Wisdom

There is often an unawareness that is on believers, particularly in this day. The one thing that is needed above everything else is the clear-cut leading of the Lord. To be led by the Spirit of the Lord should be your greatest objective. Pray that God give you the word of wisdom and the word of knowledge.

He Specializes In The Impossible

The fifth chapter of Mark is a story of three hopeless cases for which the Lord’s power intervened to work the impossible. If you ever feel that there is no hope or no way of deliverance for you, let this story be proof that there is.

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.

The Problems, The Judgments, And The Blessings

Malachi, the prophet of gloom, vividly describes the problems in Israel and God’s judgments upon the rebellious.

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.

The Fight Of Faith Against Apostasy

It’s a time of apostasy, with revolution in the church world and Satan moving in aggressive warfare. We who see the need must face it as Paul did.

Faith Working Through Love / An Exhortation On Joy, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Sepulveda, CA on Sunday, January 3, 1965 and in South Gate, CA on Sunday, January 3, 1965. Hidden Treasure.

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. Your lack of love for yourself opens the door for unbelief towards God. Walk with a faith that is absolutely unwavering on your part, and God will meet you.

An Exhortation On Joy

In this short exhortation, John talks about how the emotion of joy that we seek is the result of faith and the purpose of our heart. The service concludes with personal ministry that gives timeless teaching on preparation for marriage.

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.

Strengthen Your Hands And Go Forward

Like the Israelites before the Red Sea, you did not come this far to be defeated. Strengthen your hands in the Lord to move forward. God has a plan that involves not only your deliverance, but the complete humiliation and defeat of Satan.

Judgment On The Principalities And Powers

In this exhortation, John says, “We are under harassment from the enemy. The ministries come up to a certain level and then they are knocked down by demon powers. There must be a liberating Word from God that brings judgment on the principalities and powers.”

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!

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.

Wrecking The Nest / Be Not Conformed To This World, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Sepulveda, CA on Sunday, November 29, 1964 and in South Gate, CA on Sunday, November 29, 1964. Hidden Treasure.

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, The Prophet Without Love — Part II, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Sepulveda, CA on Sunday, December 6, 1964 and in South Gate, CA on Sunday, December 6, 1964. Hidden Treasure.

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

They that regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy–Jonah 2:8. What is the problem that bothers you, the lying illusion that causes you to despair and flee from God’s presence? Do not regard those lying vanities! Serve God with faith, vigor and purpose of heart and thus, you will not forsake His mercy and grace in your life.
