The Compelling Force Of Love / Be Involved, Not Removed, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, July 8, 1962 and in Washington, IA on Monday, July 9, 1962. Hidden Treasure.

The Compelling Force Of Love

Grace and love work opposite things in your life. Grace sets you free; love makes you a slave. Grace cancels all debts and obligations; love is a compelling, constraining force that drives you to complete the work He has set before you to do. God is so endowing us with His love that we will compel men’s hearts to the Lord.

Be Involved, Not Removed

Christ’s prayer is not for us to escape from the world (John 17:15), but that we be a challenging force to wickedness and evil. We are to be involved in the earth, manifesting Him and His testimony. This message was originally a radio broadcast aired in Washington, Iowa on July 9, 1962.

Now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love (I Corinthians 13:13). This is a more excellent way.

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.
