Available MP3 Download: The Saving Possibility In Every Situation / We Must Respond To The Word, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Sepulveda, CA on Sunday, January 21, 1968. Hidden Treasure.
The Saving Possibility In Every Situation
In every situation, the grace of God provides a saving possibility that nothing can destroy. No circumstance or spiritual battle can have an unbreakable grasp on us because God guarantees that He will provide a way of escape and that all things work together for good to them that love Him. As we do the will of God, isn’t it marvelous that even if we stumble and make mistakes, we can shake them off. His providence and grace make it possible for us to move onward in His will.
We Must Respond To The Word
There are four ways that we can respond to a Word from God. If our hearts are hardened, the Word is taken from us. If we receive the Word on a shallow level, it will not survive the things that will come to contest it. If we are involved in so many things that we are not putting God first, then the Word is not effective in our life. Finally, if the Word falls on a prepared heart, God anticipates that the Word will grow and bring forth fruit. But how much will that Word accomplish? It is up to us. God does not intervene in our lives except through our diligence to appropriate His grace and to seek Him with a whole heart.

Available MP3 Download: We Create The Atmosphere For His Lordship, by Gary Hargrave, Portuguese translation by Silas Esteves. This message was spoken at Mt. Zion, NiterĂ³i, Brazil on Sunday, July 22, 2018.
We Create The Atmosphere For His Lordship
The foundation of our fellowship is the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and this Word sets us on the course to build on that foundation. In a hierarchical structure, man is king and the people live in silence. In the atmosphere of the school of prophets that allows God to be King, the people are free to speak the truth in love and to grow up in all aspects into Him (Ephesians 4:15). The purpose of the five-fold ministries is to equip the saints, but it is the Body that builds itself up in love (Ephesians 4:16). We must find a way to create the government of God’s Kingdom where He is the King who rules and reigns. In the days of Samuel, God saw Himself as King over Israel, even though it was Samuel who presided over the school of prophets. When the people rejected Samuel, wanting a king, the Lord saw it as a rejection of Himself (I Samuel 8:4-7). The heart of the Father is that He alone wants to be King over His people, individually and together as His family in the prophetic community. He does not want man to usurp His role in the leadership of His people. Father, we invite You into our lives and into this prophetic community. We ask that You be our King and give us the grace to speak the truth in love. In every way that we have rejected You as our only King, we repent and we declare total freedom for Christ to rule over us as Lord.

Available MP3 Download: The School Of Prophets — God’s Kingdom Corporation, by Gary Hargrave, Portuguese translation by Silas Esteves. This message was spoken at Mt. Zion, NiterĂ³i, Brazil on Friday, July 20, 2018.
The School Of Prophets — God’s Kingdom Corporation
This Word describes how God is leading us out of the hierarchical corporate structure of the Church Age and into the government of His Kingdom. As in the days of Samuel, the school of prophets is the atmosphere where God is enthroned as Lord and King, and only His presence is in charge. In that atmosphere, the expression of the human flesh nature is restrained and there is an authority that brings God’s presence (I Samuel 19:19-24). His presence becomes the answer to every problem and situation. This same reality is described in Acts 15 when the disciples gathered together to solve the problem of the Gentiles. It was not just one man who decided what to do, but all of them bore witness to God’s answer and to His presence that appeared to them through His Word. God is righteous and holy. Under His Kingship, all things pertaining to life and godliness are given to the inhabitants of His Kingdom. Under the hierarchy of a corporate structure, human nature is able to usurp the blessing and the wealth for itself. With this Word, we recognize that by creating us into a school of prophets and a prophetic community, God has already given us the means to enthrone Him as King and to bring about the government of His Kingdom.

The Perils Of Restoration Without Repentance
In the story of Absalom the danger of restoration without repentance is highlighted. He was recalled from banishment without any change in his vicious nature. The seed of his sin ripened into a full betrayal of King David and a usurping of his throne. This message warns the Walk that the future troubles will be great if repentance of present offenses are not complete.

The Submissiveness Of Authority
As divine order is being established for the Kingdom, the deep truths about authority and submission are being highlighted. Do we submit to those that God has commissioned even though their authority is not submissive to the authority over them? We can be taught by the teachable. We can submit to the submissive, but not to the rebellious.

Available MP3 Download: Know That I Am Your Lord / The Path To Grace, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Sepulveda, CA on Friday, January 19, 1968 and in South Gate, CA on Sunday, January 21, 1968. Hidden Treasure.
Know That I Am Your Lord
God is working in two directions at the same time. He is working for His people, and He is working to judge the forces of evil. As with the Israelites at the Red Sea, God is behind us, thrusting us forward into His blessings while protecting us so the pursuit of the enemy does not overtake us. In the end, God will get the glory and we will know that He is our Lord. Do not look back at the enemy. Move forward into fulfillment. When God finishes His purpose, the New Testament Church will utterly prevail over everything that comes against it.
The Path To Grace
Do not say, “Woe is me, everything is against me. I take three steps forward and fall back two,” for that is the path to grace. The grace of God makes a provision so that no oppression, no devil, no problem within, no circumstance in the world can keep you from the blessing of the Lord. God will make all things work for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Partake of the Communion and live, and be refreshed in your spirit.

Available MP3 Download: A Day Without Limitations / Transformed Into His Perfect Will, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, January 21, 1968. Hidden Treasure.
A Day Without Limitations
The spiritual battle has come to bring discouragement and weariness to the people of the Lord. Instead of submitting to the battle, we accept the full blessing of the Lord without limitation. We keep our hearts sensitive before Him. We have been separated unto Him, and now is the time that we will know that He is indeed our Lord. This message has previously been printed as, “A Day Without Limitations” in the book, Living Prophecies.
Transformed Into His Perfect Will
The first step in your transformation is the total committal of your body to the Lord. The second step is an absolute refusal on your part to be conformed to the spirit of this age. In the third step, you open your heart to a metamorphosis that comes through a renewal of your mind. The ultimate end that God is working for is that you may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.

Available MP3 Download: Lessons From Jehoshaphat’s Famous Victory, by John Robert Stevens. This message was spoken in South Gate, CA on Thursday, January 18, 1968. Hidden Treasure.
Lessons From Jehoshaphat’s Famous Victory
The story of Jehoshaphat’s famous victory teaches us two valuable principles. First, God has identified Himself with you. Your battle is His battle. Secondly, our struggle is not to defeat satan, but to appropriate the victory of Christ and to bring that victory into manifestation. “Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord” (II Chron. 20:17) does not mean that you stand afar off at a safe distance. It means that you will be in the middle of the battle, but you will know that it is God who is giving you the victory. In your complete consecration and dedication to the Lord, you can stand on the front line as a worshiper and open the door of blessings for you and others that follow. This Word brings the Los Angeles churches into greater maturity as New Testament churches who will stand strong even in the midst of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Available MP3 Download: Our Bondage Is Not Our Fulfillment And Our Deliverance Is Not Our Destruction, by Gary Hargrave, Portuguese translation by Silas Esteves. This message was spoken at Mt. Zion, NiterĂ³i, Brazil on Sunday, July 15, 2018.
Our Bondage Is Not Our Fulfillment And Our Deliverance Is Not Our Destruction
This Word shows us how God wants to deliver us out of our bondage to other gods so that His Lordship is the only dominion over us. Just as it was with the Israelites when God was delivering them from Egypt, we can be so conditioned by the gods we serve that we would rather stay in bondage than to have God deliver us. At one point, the Israelites called Egypt the land of milk and honey! (Numbers 16:13). The symbiotic relationship they had with their state of bondage prevented them from seeing what God was doing for them. Satan twists what God is doing to make it appear that our bondage is fulfillment and our deliverance is destruction. The truth is that God disciplines us as His sons so that we may come into His holiness and possess His promises. He wants to break us free from every other commitment and every other bondage that we have given ourselves to so that we may live purely in His Kingdom. In the process, we must not confuse His discipline with destruction. The truth of His Word must live in us so that we are not subject to satan’s lies about our deliverance. Lord, we love Your discipline and we receive it gratefully as sons, knowing that You love us and are delivering us from all other gods that have had dominion over us.

Available MP3 Download: Our Obedience Removes Our Spiritual Blindness, by Gary Hargrave, Portuguese translation by Silas Esteves. This message was spoken at Mt. Zion, NiterĂ³i, Brazil on Wednesday, July 11, 2018.
Our Obedience Removes Our Spiritual Blindness
Our ability to see, to hear, and to understand what God has for us depends on the depth of our obedience to Him. God caused the Israelites to be spiritually blind and deaf because of their disobedience (Deuteronomy 29:4). When they were about to enter into the promised land, into a whole new day, Joshua said to them, “Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.” (Joshua 24:15). From that point on, their covenant with God was their individual choice about who they would serve: God or other gods. The Lord is speaking this same Word to us! Each one of us must choose this day whom we will serve, for when we come to Christ, we cannot serve two masters. In this new day, the only thing that will make a difference in our personal walk with God is our obedience to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. To the degree that we are obedient, we will be able to see, hear, and understand what God has for us. Anytime we are under the dominion of other gods, we are spiritually blind and deaf, unable to see and understand Him. The Lord said: “Render the hearts of this people insensitive, Their ears dull, And their eyes dim, Otherwise they might see with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their hearts, And return and be healed.” (Isaiah 6:10). Today, we choose a greater obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. In our obedience, our spiritual eyes will be opened and we will hear His Word. We will turn to Him, please Him, and be healed, and we will possess the Kingdom He has for us.

Available MP3 Download: God’s Grace To See, Hear, And Understand, by Gary Hargrave. This message was spoken at Shiloh, Kalona, Iowa on Wednesday, July 4, 2018.
God’s Grace To See, Hear, And Understand
There is a cry in our spirits to see God unfold more revelation and understanding of the Scriptures. The Living Word Fellowship was born out of our founder John Stevens being granted revelation insight from the Scriptures. We want to continue to see God, through His grace, unfold mysteries of His Word for us today. In Matthew 13, Jesus explained to His disciples that the eyes of the people had been blinded so they had no understanding. The disciples were blessed because they saw, but this sight and understanding was only granted to them by God’s grace. When the Lord met Paul, He struck him blind. But when the scales were removed from his eyes, Paul was set free in his mind and heart to understand the mysteries of the Scriptures. God has much more to reveal to us in His Word, and the ability to see and hear it will be granted by God’s grace. We must spend time studying the Word. Like Paul, who was one of the most learned men in Torah, when God opens up to us the Word by His grace, the mysteries in the Scriptures will be understood by revelation. Lord, in our obedience, and by the granting of Your grace, let us search out that which You have concealed (Proverbs 25:2).

Available MP3 Download: Our Love Relationship With The Jewish People, by Gary Hargrave. This message was spoken at Shiloh, Kalona, Iowa on Tuesday, July 3, 2018.
Our Love Relationship With The Jewish People
For too long, the church has taken a stance of trying to convert the Jewish people to Christianity. In this message, we learn that the Jewish identity is sacred to God and should not be tampered with. “Israel has been saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation.” (Isaiah 45:17). One of the fundamental points of the Jewish faith is belief in this salvation. As Christians, our concept of salvation is very different than the reality for the Jewish people, who are already separated unto God through His covenant with Abraham. Gentiles need salvation through Christ to be delivered out of the kingdom of darkness and into the Kingdom of God’s beloved Son. Ignorance is a powerful weapon that has been behind much of the persecution and negativity against the Jewish people. Let’s encourage the Body of Christ to become educated about Judaism and God’s relationship with His people. I Corinthians 13 says that when we see through a glass darkly, the best thing to do is move in love. With love we can bless the Jewish people, remind them of the Word over them in the Scriptures, and express sorrow for what the church has been to them. Father, give us a more perfect understanding of Your plan for Your people.

Available MP3 Download: A Clearer Understanding About God’s Judgment, by Gary Hargrave. This message was spoken at Shiloh, Kalona, Iowa on Monday, July 2, 2018.
A Clearer Understanding About God’s Judgment
This Word gives us a clear picture of what the coming of God’s Kingdom will look like. Jesus taught us to pray “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done.” This is to be a daily demand. However, you cannot separate His Kingdom from His righteous judgment. Like the widow in the parable of the unjust judge, our responsibility as a school of prophets is to persistently cry for justice. “Now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them? I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:7-8). Faith is knowing that He will render justice, and that becomes the strength in our prayer. Lord, let us be those who come to Your throne every day. Let the courts sit and let Your righteous justice be rendered.

The heart of Shiloh University is expressed in the Jewish roots of our faith: to pass down the transformational Word of God from generation to generation. “These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.” (Deuteronomy 6:6-7). Shiloh University is a mission and a ministry. It is about learning through relationships. It is about having a transformational meeting with God and writing the Word on your heart. Then as you tell the story, you teach, impart, and transform the lives of others. This message is the commencement address for Shiloh University’s fifth annual graduation ceremony.

Available MP3 Download: The Two-Edged Sword Of Obedience And Confirmation, by Gary Hargrave. This message was spoken at Shiloh, Kalona, Iowa on Sunday, July 1, 2018.
The Two-Edged Sword Of Obedience And Confirmation
How are we going to move in the obedience the Lord is requiring of His people? In the structure of the church, there must be a way in which this revelation of obedience and submission is housed. The answer is in establishing a clear path for requesting and receiving greater confirmation. The story of Gideon gives us a perfect picture of this principle of confirmation. When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon and gave him a Word to defeat the Midianites, Gideon asked God for confirmation three separate times. God did not only honor Gideon’s requests, He went above and beyond to provide confirmation that Gideon didn’t even ask for. When God asks us to do something, it is easy to feel inadequate and fearful. However God is never offended by a submissive heart that seeks confirmation. Confirmation provides the strength and boldness you need to walk in what He has asked you to do. Our church structure should be a ministry and blessing that strengthens and emboldens its people. God help us to create a clear path to walk in greater confirmation.

Available MP3 Download: Confirmation — The Safeguard For Our Absolute Obedience, by Gary Hargrave. This message was spoken at Shiloh, Kalona, Iowa on Saturday, June 30, 2018.
Confirmation — The Safeguard For Our Absolute Obedience
This Word addresses the concerns for deception within the structure of divine order in the church. As we move to establish the Kingdom of God, our complete submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in a pure, divine order is essential. We must submit to our elders and leaders, just as it says in Hebrews 13:17. However, we also have to recognize that these authorities are imperfect humans. There must be safeguards in place against the abuse of authority so that we do not have leaders who, like Saul, are deceived into disobedience. The safeguard against this deception is seeking confirmation, just as Peter and the apostles sought for in a oneness of heart as described in Acts 15. Every member of the Body of Christ, including the leaders, must boldly seek confirmation for the Word that is given to them. Let’s pray for the Lord to give us wisdom. We are set to be obedient and submissive as a people. We must have a divine order that will keep us safe and give us the freedom to be absolutely obedient to walk in God’s ways.

A Word To The Young Adults: God Wants To Be Your Focus
This Word to the Young Adults School of Prophets is about the importance of having a hunger for God and His Word. God has blessed this generation with an abundance of energy and time, so they are better able to seek Him. However, when they experience this time in their lives their tendency is to get distracted from God. God told the Israelites that when they come into the abundance of the promised land, they should not follow the gods of the people surrounding them (Deuteronomy 6:14). We, too, are influenced by a spirit realm of beings that seem stronger than we are. Having been baptized in the Holy Spirit, we should ask the Lord for perception and discernment about the natural and spiritual realms that influence our daily lives. God is more powerful than all these other spirits and when we make Him our only focus, He deals with them on our behalf.

Our Survival Is Based On Obedience
Moving forward as a school of prophets, we will begin entering into spiritual warfare against principalities and powers mightier than us (Numbers 13:31-33). This Word shows us that as we move out of a place of relative safety in our walk with God and into harm’s way, our obedience to the Father will determine life or death. We will face lies about the Word of God and against the Father Himself which will attempt to deceive us into being disobedient and losing God’s protection. However, just as it was with Joshua and the Israelites when they took the promised land, we must trust God’s confirmed Word. Lord, give us the eyes to see and understand the pattern of spiritual warfare, and show us how to write the Word on our hearts and minds as we bring forth Your Kingdom.

Obedience: His Standard For Judgment
This Word clarifies what we are to be as a school of prophets and why. God is looking to have a people by which He can distinguish between that which serves Him and that which does not. God is a gracious, just judge, and there is only one distinguishing factor that matters to Him: obedience. This is the basis of His judgments. When Israel went in to possess Canaan, their victory or defeat was directly dependent upon their obedience (Joshua 5:1-11). When God sent Moses into Egypt, he was able to move in God’s judgments because of his obedience. Like Moses and the nation of Israel, the school of prophets is to be a standard of obedience that God can use as an example. Do you want to be under the Lordship of Jesus Christ? Do you want to establish His Kingdom? There is only one way: become and remain obedient. You have been equipped. Now, be obedient.

Available MP3 Download: Repent To Remove Disobedience, by Gary Hargrave. This message was spoken at Shiloh, Kalona, Iowa on Thursday, June 28, 2018.
Repent To Remove Disobedience
We kicked off the School of Prophets at Shiloh with a Word about repentance, surrounding the story of the Passover. As we become a prophetic community and a school of prophets, we will experience what Moses did with Pharaoh and the gods of Egypt. Judgment will not be something we do; judgment is something we will trigger. Just as God judged both the physical and spiritual realms through Moses, we too will move through the land with discernment and prophecy and affect all creation. Passover also shows God’s grace; God showed each god over Egypt that He was more powerful than they, giving them a chance to bow. Leading up to the time of the Israelites’ deliverance, God said to Moses, “Now is the time.” Likewise, God is coming to us and saying, “Now is the time.” The story of Moses at Passover gives us another important lesson. Before we can move as God’s prophets in the earth, we must make Him our God by doing what He has told us to do. For Moses, there was just one covenant that would make God the God for him and the people: the covenant of Abraham. Moses, however, had not circumcised his sons. As a result, God sought to put him to death (Exodus 4:24). We must search our hearts for where we have violated what God has asked us to do. We cannot be a school of prophets unless we repent and do what He has directed. Lord, open our eyes and hearts; correct us, so that we can go forward and deliver Your children into the Kingdom.

Uprooting The Spirit Of Saul From The School Of Prophets
This Word prepares us to be a school of prophets through an intense, individual repentance. For too long, we have allowed the principalities and powers ruling this age to train and condition us to live a certain way. Song of Solomon 2:15 says, “Catch the foxes for us, The little foxes that are ruining the vineyards, While our vineyards are in blossom.” This illustrates the attitude we must have towards the things in the spirit world that influence our lives. Although the foxes might seem like minor issues, they must be completely exterminated if we are to move as the school of prophets that God has spoken we are to be. As we have been taught from the beginning, we must come under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and refuse to be submissive to any other influence. A spirit that has affected us is one of an unwillingness to be corrected. Although we are imperfect humans that need to have a broken spirit in our relationship with the Lord, we can feel as though our ministry is too high or our Word is too anointed to be corrected. But even David, although he was the king, needed to have his spirit broken by God. That’s what made him a good king, as opposed to Saul, who only put on an image of religiosity despite his blatant disobedience to what God had said. We prophesy against this religious spirit that is the root of our disobedience, making us untouchable and uncorrectable. We submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ that makes us a school of prophets.

The God Who Manifests As Father
This Father’s Day message opens up to us a new level of a very real relationship with God as our Father. In I Chronicles 29, David praises God’s many wonderful attributes. But first and foremost, David says, “Blessed are You, O Lord God of Israel our father, forever and ever.” He recognized that above all things, God is our Father. We must recognize that everything God is doing comes through this relationship to us as Father. This pattern can be seen in the Scriptures. When God judged the gods of Egypt, He was bringing His sons into a relationship with Him. When God brought forth salvation, He did it in a Father-Son relationship. And from that time until now, God as our Father is bringing forth His Kingdom through a relationship to His sons. Today, we worship God for all that He is. He is powerful, He is wonderful–beyond description and comprehension. He is over all things and created all things, but He chooses to relate to us as our Father. Let it be that real and personal. Father, help us see that in everything You are doing, You are bringing each of us into a personal relationship with You as our Father.

Dedicated To Possess The Promises
The promises and the blessings of God’s Word are all ours to be possessed, but their fulfillment is linked to the dedication and wholeheartedness of the believer. God forbid we should only use His Word as something to soothe and comfort us. His promises wait for us to stir ourselves in faith to reach in and possess them. Then our lives will be filled with the outgrowth and the fruitfulness of living works.
He Has Invited You To His Feast
God invites us all to His feast that is filled with His provisions and riches.

The War Over Wisdom
This Word sets us on a path to reach for God’s wisdom and prepares us to be a school of prophets. When Paul heard about the faith that existed in the Ephesian church, he prayed that the eyes of their hearts would be enlightened, so that they would know the hope of God’s calling (Ephesians 1:18). We, too, need this enlightening of our hearts, because we must have understanding in order to be His ambassadors and fulfill His purposes. There is a war against this wisdom. We live in passivity, not realizing how important it is that we reach into His understanding. It may seem that the negative side of the spirit world has wisdom; however, the Scriptures say that “If they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” (I Corinthians 2:8). The only way to receive this understanding is by the Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 2:11). God has hidden the wisdom and the knowledge, but He is ready to freely give it to us by His Holy Spirit. He will impart that which is necessary for us to function as His instruments. Lord, free us of our ignorance! Open the eyes of our hearts. He loves us so deeply and dearly. It’s time for us to repent of the passivity we’ve had toward our ignorance and become His mature sons.

God Wants Your Wholehearted Dedication
There must be a wholeheartedness towards God in the hearts of the people in this end-time company. In everything God brings you through, He is putting a fire in your spirit for Him. He demands fruitfulness; He demands an action that responds to everything He gives to you. You cannot receive His Word or His grace in vain. No one who puts his hand to the plough and looks back is fit for the Kingdom of God (Luke 9:62). God wants all of you — one hundred percent of you!

Give No Place To The Devil
This message is a heart cry, a proclamation, a demand, and a Word from God that Jesus is the complete Lord over our lives and we will not submit to anything else. We renounce, repudiate, and absolutely reject giving any place to the devil. He has no right to touch us if we are submitting to the Lordship of Christ. God’s people should have perfect liberation to walk in what He has chosen for us. Lord, You have raised us up to walk in this hour and we will have everything that You have spoken!
A Contrast Between Two Men
Joash, the king of Israel, would not appropriate everything God had for him, and as a result he only received limited blessings. On the other hand, the prophet Elisha never stopped contending for more, and he had so much life that even after his death his bones revived a man. What are you going to claim? What are you going to believe? What are you going to reach into?
The Joshua Company Is Coming Forth
God told Joshua, “Thou shalt cause the people to inherit the land which I have given them.” (Deut. 3:28). Joshua was a type of the end-time company that God is raising up in this hour. We must possess the land and reach out to hungry people and, as Joshua did, cause them to inherit the blessings of God. God has opened the door to us in this day for amazing things. Take the initiative of faith to possess what God has said. It is time to believe more; it is time to believe in the power of God and in the restoration of everything He has ever promised.

Available MP3 Download: The End Of The Story: All Things Subjected To The Father, by Gary Hargrave. This message was spoken at Anuhea, Maui, HI on Sunday, May 27, 2018.
The End Of The Story: All Things Subjected To The Father
What is our walk with God really all about? This message gives us the answer. Paul writes: “Then comes the end, when He (Christ) hands over the kingdom to the God and Father” (I Corinthians 15:24). God promised that His Kingdom would manifest on earth, but how do we get there? It must happen in God’s order, which means that it must happen according to God’s divine order of authority and in a specific, sequential process. For the Kingdom to manifest, there must be a perfect divine order put in place. Christ is the first fruits (I Corinthians 15:20) because He was made perfect in obedience, and the Kingdom is all about obedience. Christ came with a heart to do the will of the Father. The Father resurrected Him and sat Him at God’s right hand above all other spiritual and natural rulers. In the end, all things will be subject to Christ and then He, in His free will, will give all things over in submission to the Father (I Corinthians 15:28). Right now, however, not all things are in subjection to Christ. In the establishment of the Kingdom, as these principalities and powers are displaced, they must be replaced with a true order in submission to Christ. We fit into this picture because God will use us to replace the spirits who are disobedient and in rebellion. He uses the base things to confound the wise (I Corinthians 1:27). God is preparing us for this, because we cannot displace these spiritual dominions unless we, in our free wills, are obedient in submission to Christ. In God’s grace, He works this preparation in us. We pray that we will have eyes to see what God is doing. His real purpose is to bring us into this process with Him of establishing His rule and reign. Lord, help us with this, and we pray like You taught us that Your Kingdom be established on earth as it is in heaven.

Available MP3 Download: Caretakers After God’s Own Heart, by Gary Hargrave. This message was spoken in Honolulu, HI on Wednesday, May 23, 2018.
Caretakers After God’s Own Heart
As God’s Kingdom comes to earth, He uses us to displace principalities and powers that are determined not to serve the Lordship of Jesus Christ. First, He delivers us out of the dominion of darkness and puts us into the Kingdom of His love, in submission to His Lordship. Then He says, “I’m going to make you My sons. I’m going to transform you into My image.” He brings us up to a level where we can replace those powers that have rebelled against Him. When God created man, He placed him as a caretaker in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it (Genesis 2:15). In the New Testament, man was commissioned to preach the Gospel to all of creation. It may seem like a different commission, but what God created us to do did not change: He created us to care for creation. Good caretakers cultivate and improve the land, and that is God’s heart for creation. Adam and Eve’s disobedience in the garden left the garden without its caretakers. That position was then usurped by rebellious and disobedient spiritual rulers. However, God promised in Jeremiah 23:1-5 that He would attend to them for their evil deeds, and would raise up righteous shepherds. God is going to give all of creation caretakers after His own heart. As caretakers, we must come to the place where we know who we are and can be objective. Unlike James and John when they were challenged by the Samaritans and wanted to call fire down out of heaven, we cannot react negatively to things in the spirit or natural world when they challenge us in their ignorance and immaturity. We are ambassadors to bring all of creation into submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We do not know which spirits will be saved and which will not. How many times have we, in our immaturity, rebelled against the Lord in our own walk? Let us dig into our own spirits and find that beautiful heart that God created in man: the heart that is driven to care for His creation in a way that it becomes all God purposed it to become.

God’s Plan Of Salvation
The only way into the Kingdom of God is to accept and appropriate God’s plan and provision. Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness so the Israelites may live, we look to our exalted Lord and live (Numbers 21:8-9). It is that simple. It is the plan of God that we accept His remedy for our sin nature and be saved.
Let The Eternal God Be Your Dwelling Place
The unique thing about Moses is that he developed an awareness of the invisible. He endured, as seeing Him who is invisible. He did not look within himself for the ability to be the answer. Moses learned to live in God and to position himself in God. The Lord is our dwelling place in all generations. When you learn to make the Lord your habitation, your continual address, then you have the secret of the great saints and patriarchs that have done great things that the Lord set before them to do. The everlasting arms of God will never fail.

Be Aggressive To Claim The Promises
Believe that Jesus Christ wants you to be more than a conqueror. God has made full provision for you and you must have an aggressive initiative of faith to possess it. The difficulty in this generation is not in His lack of provision; the difficulty is that we must learn how we appropriate it and how we act upon it.
The Love Of God In The Church
The first commandment is that you love God with all of your heart, all of your soul, all of your mind, and all of your strength. You can only love Him as you open your heart to His divine love, and He imparts to you the very capacity to express His love. As His love is manifested through the members of His Body, doctrines will no longer be so complex and issues will melt away. The flow of love will be a deep, mystical thing in the house of God.

Instead, we sanctify the Lord in our hearts and keep our spirits meek, reverent, and gentle.

The True Ministry Of The Church: Ambassadors To All Creation
The great commissioning is much bigger than we realize. When Christ commissioned the disciples to preach the Gospel to the “world,” He used the Greek word “kosmos,” which refers to all of creation, rather than just humanity (Mark 16:15). Creation includes everything God created–the heavens and the earth, with spiritual authorities set up to rule over others. Because of the disobedience that occurred in the Garden of Eden, humans have been subjected to rulers and authorities besides God. Likewise, other spiritual authorities have experienced subjection to domains of darkness. Christ came to bring all creation out from under the domain of darkness. In salvation, God gave us the ministry of reconciliation. We are to function in reconciliation not only in this world, but also in the realm of spirit. We are to be ambassadors for Christ, transferring all creation from the dominion of darkness into the Kingdom of His beloved Son (Colossians 1:13). In Luke 10, when the disciples returned from going out to preach the Gospel, Christ and the disciples realized the spiritual reality that was taking place as demons came under subjection and satan fell from heaven. Our struggle is not to get people to believe the Gospel; it’s to take down the forces that hold them in bondage–and God will teach us how and equip us to do it!

Take God’s Complete Provision
You are endowed by God. You are complete in Him. Many things may seem to throw you into defeat in the spiritual warfare. Nevertheless, that is an illusion. Accept what God says about His complete, perfect, absolute provision for everything in your life. He is concerned about the development and sanctification of your whole being, and He has made a complete provision for it. The victory and glory of Christ will flow through you. Limitations and restrictions are not in God’s provision; they come from your own unbelief. John concludes the message by stirring up our faith that the Scriptures are the inspired Word of God.
Let God Be Infused Within You
The Lordship of Jesus Christ means coming to the place where you are an instrument of God because He is so deeply infused within your life. This truth is illustrated in the Communion. As we partake and assimilate His body and blood, we receive an infusion of His divine nature until it becomes a living part of us.

We Are Ransomed Into His Kingdom
God is taking us into the next step of becoming a school of prophets, and we must recognize that God is taking us out from the dominion of every other spiritual authority. When God delivered the Israelites from the dominion of Egypt, He was not just bringing them out from under Pharaoh. He was delivering them from the dominion of other gods, or as the Scriptures say in Hebrew, “elohim” (Exodus 12:12). It was those gods that were holding the children of Israel in bondage. How did we, as humans, become subject to these elohim? We are subject to what we obey. When Adam and Eve were obedient to satan in the Garden of Eden, satan became their owner. God had given man authority over the physical realm of earth, so when Adam and Eve obeyed satan, the ownership of all of creation was transferred to satan. In salvation, God delivered us from the dominion of darkness and from the dominion of other elohim into His Kingdom (Colossians 1:13). By His death on the cross and His resurrection, Christ reconciled us to the Father. However, we are still slaves to whichever gods we obey. If we are not careful to obey God, we start the cycle over again and serve other gods. Once you are in God’s dominion, the point is to stay there, with God as your God. Lord, keep unfolding this Word to us, and open up our understanding of it. Let us see the wonder of what Your salvation really is. Let us stay in Your dominion. Thank You, Father, for bringing us to this place. Thank You for this amazing salvation You’ve given us. We determine to stay in Your dominion.

A Personal Passover Experience
Passover is personal. When the children of Israel were about to leave Egypt, each household had to obey and execute the Lord’s instructions by putting the blood on the doorpost and remaining inside, under the covering. They had to appropriate the provision, and their obedience initiated and protected them from judgment. Our experience with Christ’s salvation is just as personal, and we see how true this is when we look at Peter’s personal Passover experience. Peter denied the Lord in the moment of His suffering immediately after promising to never leave Him. After realizing what he’d done, Peter wept bitterly and repented. Christ didn’t reject Peter. Not only did Christ forgive him, He appeared to him first after the resurrection so that Peter would know his repentance was heard. The purpose of what Peter went through was so that we could truly understand the depth of God’s forgiveness for us. We need this aspect of the Passover experience. We go through many things in our walk with God that leave us feeling that there is no way we’ll ever be forgiven or that there is no way out of what we’ve done. The forgiveness we believe in is not yet deep enough in our own hearts. We must come to know beyond any shadow of a doubt that whatever we’ve done or been through, we are absolutely and completely forgiven through His Passover sacrifice. There is an absolute, complete, thorough forgiveness in the salvation that comes for us at Passover. Let it wash your mind; let it wash your memories. Don’t remember what God has forgotten. Don’t resurrect things that He has washed by His blood and sacrifice. He wants to appear to you. Stop trying to do everything in your own ability, and start functioning in the provision of this experience.

We must recognize that Christ, the first fruits, was only one grain on that sheaf. The power of the resurrection was the greatest power to ever be released in the universe. It was not enough for Christ to die on the cross. The efficacy of His death is expressed in the power of His resurrection. And from that day, the process of resurrection has continued and has been made available to us. This power should be impacting our lives here, now, today. The power of the resurrection has three results: It makes us holy, blameless, and beyond reproach (Colossians 1:22). We are made holy; we are freed from all the oppressive spirits that hold us in bondage and sin. Through Christ’s resurrection, we are transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of God’s beloved Son. We also are made blameless. This means we have no guilt. There is no longer any reason for punishment or judgment; we can stand in the presence of the Father, covered by the blood of the Lamb. The resurrection also makes us beyond reproach. No one can accuse us or make us appear guilty. This is what makes eternal life fun–every morning we’ll wake up holy, blameless, beyond reproach. So much can be said about the resurrection and about His power, but if we don’t recognize how it changes our lives this minute, the whole point is lost. Father, thank You for resurrecting Your Son, and we reach into the reality of this power for us today.

Available MP3 Download: Passover — The Judgment Of The Gods, by Gary Hargrave. This message was spoken at Anuhea, Maui, HI on Saturday, March 31, 2018.
Passover — The Judgment Of The Gods
When God opens the door for us to celebrate a biblical feast, He is opening the door for us to have an experience today that includes the deep spiritual reality of those feasts. On the night that the Israelites were to leave Egypt, God instructed them to put the blood of the lamb on the doorposts and told them “none of you shall go outside the door of his house until morning” (Exodus 12:22). What was the spiritual reality behind this? God was preparing to go through the land to execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt (Exodus 12:12). He wanted His people to stay in their houses, where they were under His protection and under His dominion. Deliverance of the Israelites from slavery under Pharaoh was only one aspect of their Passover experience. The reality in the realm of spirit was that they were under the dominion of other gods, other elohim. The only way that God could get them free was to bring them into His realm of influence, in His Kingdom, under His dominion. These are the dynamics of Passover, and this is the same reality that God wants to do for us today. God is determined to judge the elohim that hold us in bondage, but first He is asking us, “Come into My house! Come into My Kingdom. Get out of the realm of those other gods. Come out of the place where they are influencing you. Come into My realm! I want you under Me, under My dominion, under My Lordship!” In this Passover, we make Him our dwelling place. We bring our spirits under the dominion of His Lordship. As we enter into rulership with Him, we will see all other gods confronted with the truth that the God of Israel is the God of gods. That is the judgment of Passover.

Available MP3 Download: The Lessons Of Passover, by Gary Hargrave. This message was spoken in North Hills, CA on Saturday, March 24, 2018.
The Lessons Of Passover
As we conclude this Shabbat Hagadol, we turn our attention towards Pesach, the Feast of Passover, and the significance that it has as the centerpiece of faith for the Jewish people and for us as well. The story of how God related to Moses and prepared him to lead the Israelites has a very real application to us in this generation. Pesach signifies a season when God hears the cry of His people. He responds to our prayers, even the prayers that we think He has not heard. When He does come down from His throne to meet us, He makes us be His answer to the world. The story of Pesach shows us that God works His solution through a human vessel. We struggle with reluctance and we labor over our problems, thinking they are bigger than God’s provision. In the story of Pesach, we see God’s determined refusal to not back off from using Moses to be His spokesperson; we see how God equipped and anointed Moses to accomplish His will. Pesach gives us a revelation of how God’s provision is abundantly greater than our limitations. In this Pesach, let’s believe for the end of our reluctance and laboring. In this generation, God is bringing forth a prophetic community who are commissioned to speak His Word to the nations. Pesach shows us the necessity of first removing the leaven of malice and wickedness within our own hearts and spirits so that when we speak His Word, there is a purity in us that is aligned with God’s will. Father, we turn to You and, without condemnation, we enter into a Pesach of washing and purifying. Remove from us any impurities that a life under Pharaoh has brought into our spirits. With our hearts made pure, we anticipate the great deliverance of Pesach.

We Do Not Win Our Victories — We Appropriate Them
We cannot overcome the things we struggle with by our willpower, but we prevail when we appropriate from Christ the victory that He has already won. This is our answer in spiritual warfare. Satan will try to distract our attention from the Lord by getting us to look at ourselves, but if we set our gaze on the Lord and His fullness, we see His victory that He has made available to us. Every day, in every need, we must appropriate Christ. He gives us the victory over sin, over death–over everything!
The Home That Is Blessed By God
As God is restoring principles and blessings that have been lost for centuries, He is restoring the home. Families walking with God together create one of the most blessed and effective units of service that God has in His Kingdom. If a family has real faith dedication, and submission to the Lord, their home is happy and blessed. This message shows us the importance of the father’s role and the blessings that will rest on the father of such a family. Nothing can replace the blessing of the Lord upon a family!

Available MP3 Download: There Is A Will Of God, by Gary Hargrave. This message was spoken in North Hills, CA on Sunday, March 18, 2018.
There Is A Will Of God
This simple and profound Word launches us into functioning as a prophetic community. We must believe that there is a will of God, and that God has a will for each one of us. Jesus said, “Whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother” (Mark 3:35). God is determined that we do His will–even in the little details of our daily lives. We must know His will so we can put our spirit and energy and force into executing it. We tend to take an attitude of passivity when we don’t know what God’s will is, but like the men and women of the Scriptures, we should seek God’s will every day and determine to walk in it. As we grow in this relationship of knowing and doing God’s will, the Kingdom of God will come forth. Our daily prayer is, “Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done!” The will of God is the one true force and authority and power in the universe–and as a prophetic community, we can boldly manifest God’s will on earth. God hears those who do His will, so we pray, “Lord, show us Your will; let us know it and delight in it. Our food will be to do Your will.”

Stand Fast In One Spirit
When the apostle Paul was in prison facing the threat of death, he wrote to the church at Philippi: whether I come and see you or be absent I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit (Philippians 1:27). Paul lived for one thing: to see the house of God flourish. He knew that nothing could stop the people of the Lord if they walked in unity, for unity in the house of God is the evidence of satan’s defeat. This Word inspires us to set our hearts to serve the Lord. As Paul did, we can live with a drive and dedication that draws the joy and blessing of the Lord no matter what our circumstances are. The Word was preceded by a brief communion meditation that activates the past sacrifice of Jesus into a present appropriation.

Your Faithfulness To Put God First
One of the factors in the development of a ministry is to be a steward of what you have been given and to be faithful to the Lord. God looks upon your faithfulness to follow through with what He has given you. He puts you through some pressures and disciplines to see whether you will be a faithful steward who will always put Him first. When the Lordship of Jesus Christ means more to you than anything else or any other relationship, then the true riches of God will be committed to your hand.
Audacious To Believe And Receive
The latter days are upon us that are described in Luke 18:8: “When the Son of man cometh, will He find faith upon the earth?” Learn to focus everything you are upon Him, and cry out to Him for answers. He gives to those who are audacious to believe and receive.

Judaism’s Heart Of Inclusion
As we conclude Shiloh University’s Israel tour, we leave this land with a tremendous thankfulness for the heart of inclusion that is so rooted in Judaism. All the prophecies and promises belong first and foremost to the Jewish people. We who were afar off and without hope in the world were grafted in through the ministry of Jesus (Ephesians 2:11-12). Are all the promises and prophecies ours? Absolutely yes! They are ours by virtue of inclusion, not by virtue of us excluding or replacing the Jews from their covenant. It is impossible for God to break His covenant with His people, and it was into this unbreakable covenant that we have been grafted. Let us not forget that Jesus was a Jew. He lived His life on earth as an observant Jew (Matthew 5:17). He lived the Judaic heart of inclusion by reconciling us to God and including us in the covenant (Romans 5:8-11). Thank You, Father, for giving us Your Son who included us in Your covenant. Thank you to the Jewish people for continuing in the covenant from generation to generation so that it could be handed down to us. We receive your heart of inclusion, and with that same heart, we draw people into the Messiah and into His Kingdom.

Our Shared Messianic Hope
Judaism and Christianity share a messianic hope that should unify us more than separate us. We are all looking for exactly the same event to happen: the appearing of the Messiah (“Mashiach”) who will sit on the throne of David, anointed as King to rule over an earthly Kingdom as God’s representative on earth to bring peace and change to the world. We may have different concepts and caveats of how this will happen, but hindsight will show us how the Messiah thinks about those differences. In the meantime, let’s get rid of division, anti-Semitism, and accusations. Let us recognize the force we are together in a faith that looks for a time when all Israel comes together to anoint a Mashiach who rules and reigns on earth. The story of the Messiah is not over yet; and like it was for king David at En Gedi, He is in hiding until He is anointed to establish His Kingdom on earth.

The Temple And The Cornerstone Of Our Faith
The rubble and stones of the Temple ruins in Jerusalem inspire us to look more deeply at both the natural and spiritual events in God’s relationship with His people. For both Jews and Gentiles, those events impact our walk with God today just as it did for the people who lived when the Temple stood. God’s covenant with the Jewish people is still alive and His Word over them will be fulfilled, yet the Temple itself no longer exists. The Temple ruins are a consequence of disobedience. God dwelt in the Temple, but when His people began to worship other gods, He left. Christianity must not separate itself from the significance of this. God will remove His presence from our lives if we are not living in and maintaining our personal relationship with Him. Although we have received salvation through Christ, we continue to live with the consequences of our sin. We must reach for a deeper salvation in Him that not only washes us from our sin but delivers us from its consequences. The Temple ruins remind us how much God was willing to take the most precious thing that existed on the earth at the time–the Temple that housed His presence–and tear it down. The only thing precious to Him is His relationship with you. He will do whatever it takes to get your attention on Him, even if it means ravaging something you hold sacred. God is calling all of us, Jews and Gentiles alike, back to Him. He will not be angry forever and He will remove the consequences of our sin. As we look at the destruction of the Temple, we are also looking at the rubble of our Christian faith. Christianity in its beginnings grew out of Judaism, and what we would have become is buried in the rubble of the Temple ruins. Instead, we see today a Christianity that has been built upon a foundation of division and paganism. We must return to the cornerstone of our faith and build upon it. Father, show us the truth. We reach for the faith that was once delivered to the saints. We seek the relationship with You that is the foundation of that faith. This Word was inspired by a visit to the archaeological site at the southern end of the Temple Mount during Shiloh University’s Israel Tour, February 2018.

Identify With Christ To Receive His Righteousness
In our old nature we struggle against our heredity and other limitations, but we have received a new nature from God. Christ identified with us to such an extent that He took our sins upon Himself and went to the cross for them, and as we identify with Him and His righteousness, we inherit His divine nature and everything that He has for us.
What Is This New Manna? — Part I
In the wilderness manna fell fresh every day and sustained the Israelites, but they did not know what it was. Today Christ is living manna to us as we feed daily upon a new manifestation of Him through His Word. But like the Israelites we ask, “What is this new thing?” This is God establishing His total Lordship over our lives. And as the Word brings constant changes to us, we must be flexible to adjust to them.
Thou Shalt Be Worshipers

How Do We Prepare For What Eye Has Not Seen Or Ear Heard?
How do we prepare our spirits for “things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him” (1 Corinthians 2:9)? We tend to live as people of habits and routines, and we may think that doing things in a different way on a natural level will prepare us for how God will move. It may help in some ways, but what matters is what we are doing in our spirits because God reveals things to us through the Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:10). There is no question that God will move. He will appear, and there in His presence is the power to heal, to break bondages, and to be transformed into His likeness. The question is: at the moment when He is ready to do a new thing in your life, will you be aware (Isaiah 43:19)? Is your spirit in tune with the Lord, waiting upon Him and immersed in Him? When Jesus was on earth, many people saw Him, but they were not aware of what they could appropriate from Him. At the pool of Bethesda, a multitude of people waited every day for the angel of the Lord to come and stir the waters. On a natural level, they were conditioned to look for a certain manifestation of their healing. Yet, a man who had been ill for 38 years reached out with his spirit and touched the Lord at the moment that He passed by. That man was healed. On that day, God did something new that had not even entered into the thinking of that multitude. The story of the lame man in Acts 3:1-7 is just as intriguing. Day after day, this man sat at the gate that even Jesus Christ Himself walked through. But one day, this man’s spirit reached for and appropriated the healing from Peter that was available at that moment. We find the same example in the woman who had a hemorrhage for twelve years (Mark 5:25-34). She was ready in her spirit to lay hold of the healing power that was in Jesus. You are going to have the same opportunities, but will you be aware? God will move on those who are waiting on the Lord continually in their heart and spirit, even if it appears on a natural level that nothing has changed. Their spirit is focused and locked into Him. Lord, we are looking for You to move in our generation in ways that no one has ever seen before. When the moment comes that You do a new thing, a different thing in our life, may our spirits be ready to touch You in a way that turns loose all that You are and all that You have for us.

Available MP3 Download: Righteousness That Comes By Faith, by Gary Hargrave, Portuguese translation by Silas Esteves. This message was spoken at Mt. Zion, NiterĂ³i, Brazil on Friday, February 9, 2018.
Righteousness That Comes By Faith
We began this School of Prophets at Mount Zion with a drive in our hearts to change our approach to repentance. We still live too much with the concept that we become righteous by disciplining ourselves. We evaluate our actions as either good or bad. God is looking for a different response from us. Of course, He wants us to approach Him and come into His presence. But He wants us to lay before Him the heavy burden we carry of trying to create righteousness in ourselves by our own ability and evaluation of our actions. The Lord is saying, “I went to the cross for you. The Father sent Me because He loves you so much.” “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28-30). There is no righteousness or unrighteousness that is derived from the Law, that either qualifies us or disqualifies us from a walk with God. Only God is righteous. Our righteousness comes from being found in Him. (Philippians 3:9). The greatest offense to Him is when we stand before Him with our own concept of righteousness, and we repent to Him while looking to ourselves to bring about righteousness. We must come before Him just as we are, knowing that He wants to be our Savior. He wants to be our righteousness. All we do is open up to His impartation. Like Joshua the high priest, we stand before the Lord clothed in our filthy garments. He removes our filthy garments and clothes us with His righteousness. There is no other way to righteousness, for He is the way, the truth, and the life.

Available MP3 Download: Nathan The Prophet Restored To The Church, by Gary Hargrave, Portuguese translation by Silas Esteves. This message was spoken at Mt. Zion, NiterĂ³i, Brazil on Sunday, February 4, 2018.
Nathan The Prophet Restored To The Church
There is a concept in the Scriptures that applies to the end time, where we see God bringing back specific anointings to accomplish what is needed for the return of Christ. One of the clearest examples of this is Elijah. Jesus said that Elijah had already come as John the Baptist, and is coming to restore all things (Matthew 17:11-12), referring to the prophecy described in Malachi 4:5-6. The prophetic anointing of Elijah will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that the earth is not destroyed with a curse. There are other prophecies yet to be fulfilled through the specific anointings of Zechariah, Moses, Joshua the High Priest, Haggai, Zerubbabel, and others. In the end time, these anointings will return and rest upon companies of people who will finalize and accomplish what is necessary for the Kingdom of God to manifest. With all the anointings that God is bringing back, our greatest cry at this time is for the restoration of the anointing that rested on the prophet Nathan. Nathan had a specific, unique, prophetic anointing to minister to kings and leaders. One of the greatest examples is his ministry to king David. As David moved into leadership and gained the position of being king, his heart hardened until he no longer walked in a simplicity of pleasing the Lord. He started to lose a sensitivity to the voice and the will of the Lord. His sin progressed from adultery to murder and lying, especially to himself. It took the very unique anointing of the prophet Nathan to bring conviction to David in such a way that his eyes were opened and he could see his sin. He was able to recognize what he had lost in his relationship with the Father. There is no double standard in the Body of Christ, because God is one. There is not one walk with God for the members of the Body and another walk with God for the leaders of the Body. We all need this sensitivity to the voice and the will of the Father. Jesus gave us one simple commandment: to love one another. Yet it has become acceptable to not love and forgive one another. We see this in the division that exists between Protestants and Catholics. We have slowly hardened our hearts to the fact that we are not doing what our Lord has asked us to do. Father, we ask that the anointing of Nathan be restored to leaders and to the Body of Christ. Wherever there is blindness, wherever there are walls and resistance to see what is in our spirit, let the anointing of Nathan be among us to convict us and show us the truth. Create a godly sorrow in us that produces repentance leading to salvation, for we cannot afford to suffer the loss of Your presence.

Available MP3 Download: Sons Have Nowhere To Lay Their Heads, by Gary Hargrave, Portuguese translation by Silas Esteves. This message was spoken at Mt. Zion, NiterĂ³i, Brazil on Saturday, February 3, 2018.
Sons Have Nowhere To Lay Their Heads
When people told Jesus they wanted to follow Him, His response was, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head” (Luke 9:57-58). In this response, Jesus was showing us something significant about a walk with God. God has been giving us some deep teachings about our personal walk with Him and about being those who please Him and love Him. He has been talking to us about a lifestyle. Part of this lifestyle is that we must have no place to stop. Our human tendency is to want to settle down. Peter’s response on the Mount of Transfiguration was to create a monument around one of the greatest moments in Jesus’ life on earth–His transfiguration. We see this same tendency in the Body of Christ–we attempt to contain an experience we had with Him and to build a wall around it. We cannot enter into the labor of this walk in the Kingdom and have something in our heart or spirit that stops along the way and says, “This is enough; we’ve gone far enough.” When God speaks a living Word to us, something must change in our heart where we can’t stop following Him. We must be positioned in our heart to follow Him wherever He goes. The only resting place we will have is His Kingdom. We must be set in our hearts to follow the Lamb wherever He leads.

Available MP3 Download: Our Ambition Is To Please The Father, by Gary Hargrave, Portuguese translation by Silas Esteves. This message was spoken at Mt. Zion, NiterĂ³i, Brazil on Sunday, January 28, 2018.
Our Ambition Is To Please The Father
The drive and force behind the life of Christ was His motivation to live in His relationship with the Father and to love the Father with all of His heart, mind, soul, and strength. The Father’s responses to the motivation of Jesus show us that when the Father is well-pleased with us, certain things transpire and our walk with God changes. When we please the Father, it becomes our delight. For Christ, His walk with God was His delight (Psalm 104:33-34). The delight that Jesus had with the Father is imparted to us; it is a gift He gives us as He is pleased with us. Another thing that happens is the Father feeds us and becomes our strength (John 4:31-34). God provides to those who are His delight. As it was with Christ, we are sustained and refreshed by a food that we do not understand. Not only does He give us food that no one knows about, He gives us His Spirit (Isaiah 42:1). The Father gave Jesus the Spirit and He received it without measure–because that is how pleased God was with His Son. God answers our prayer (1 John 3:21-22). Whatever we ask, we receive because we are pleasing to Him. When we have the same motivation as Christ, we will receive whatever we ask. When we please Him, we find ourselves caught up into the Father’s presence. Being in His presence is a direct result of pleasing Him (Hebrews 11:5). God is the creator of all things. All things are made by Him yet He is ready to give them to the one who is pleasing. Imagine God handing you all creation! Everything He has made and done through His power and outstretched arm, He gives to the one who is pleasing in His sight (Jeremiah 27:5; John 3:35). Lay hold of the ambition that motivated Christ. Let our pleasing the Father open the windows of heaven until we live in the realm of His presence. Lord, let us begin to move in the authority of sons in Your Kingdom.

Available MP3 Download: The Motivation Of Jesus, by Gary Hargrave, Portuguese translation by Silas Esteves. This message was spoken at Mt. Zion, NiterĂ³i, Brazil on Saturday, January 27, 2018.
The Motivation Of Jesus
There is no question how the Father felt about His Son: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased” (Matthew 3:17), and we find it repeated several times in the Scriptures (Matthew 17:5; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 3: 21-22; II Peter 1:16-18). The Father being well-pleased was so impactful to Him that He opened up the heavens to speak with an audible voice to announce it. What made the Father happy was not that Jesus healed the multitudes, turned water into wine, or walked on water. The Father was well-pleased with Jesus because He loved His Father with all His heart, mind, soul, and strength. The first and foremost relationship in the Kingdom of God is the relationship between the Father and sons who are driven to please Him. Christ taught us what our motivation should be in that relationship: “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'” (Mark 12:28-31). We need to reconstruct our motivations. As sons of God, we must have the same motivation as Jesus, the first-born son. This motivation gives us the force and energy and power to walk through all the things we face and go through. Lord Jesus, we draw from You the motivation that was Your power and drive to accomplish the will of God on earth. You did the will of Your Father, but that was secondary to Your drive to please Him. Let that same drive and motivation exist in us. We declare that we will be a generation in this day that is motivated to please the Father, loving Him with all that we are. This Word should be heard along with “The Doctrine Of Jesus” that came Friday evening, January 26, 2018 at Mount Zion, NiterĂ³i, Brazil.

The Doctrine Of Jesus
There is no other commandment that is greater than these: “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'” (Deuteronomy 6:5; Mark 12:28-31). Jesus connected these words to the whole Law and the Prophets (Matthew 22:40), to resurrection life (Luke 10:28) and to the Kingdom of God (Mark 12:34). Every moment of every day, through eternity, the power of God’s love is flowing to us. He loves us with all of His soul, His might, His strength, and with everything He owns, including His Son. God exists beaming that love toward us (Ephesians 1:19). How can we possibly love God with all our strength, with everything that we are made of, and with all that we have? We open up to His love, and we return that love back to Him. We step into the flow of His love toward us and we let the force of it sweep us into His Kingdom. Jesus made a life of loving God possible for us by restoring us into a relationship with the Father. Everything we are and everything we do can be channeled into a love for the Father. Whatever God will do in this generation, He will do through a people who have this relationship with Him and who live in that great commandment. Father, let us experience Your love. Let us think about ourselves as You think about us. Let there be no resistance to the power of Your love for us. On this Sabbath evening with the young adults at Mount Zion, we step into a new day of living in the power of Your love and loving You back with all that we are.

He Hath Created A Heritage For Thee
The Lord hath created a heritage for thee to possess. He hath given you great and precious promises. Ye need only to hear them, believe them, and to appropriate them. This is a living prophecy.
An Unlimited Definition Of The Grace Of God
The grace of God involves something far more than mercy, forgiveness and deliverance. As you draw His grace, you are giving out of divine abundance beyond your own ability. Do not be afraid of tackling big things because when you ask with a pure motivation, God gives you the abilities to accomplish the work. God intends for you to reach up into His fullness until you possess great and fantastic things. In this message, John Stevens also describes how to discern when a person has the qualities to be an elder.

Available MP3 Download: Oneness In Christ: A Key To Appropriation / How Does God Accomplish His Purposes?, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Sepulveda, CA on Sunday, November 19, 1967 and in Sepulveda, CA on Thursday, November 23, 1967. Hidden Treasure.
Oneness In Christ: A Key To Appropriation
As you fellowship with one another, come into a oneness in Christ and learn how to impart and receive from each other by taking these simple steps. First, enter into a oneness with the Lord in worship. Next, whatever you are seeking for, draw it from the fullness of Christ. Then, think on it as your very own until you possess it. To strengthen what you have appropriated, come into oneness with someone who has already appropriated it, then ask that individual to impart it to you. This is the way to live with a constant appropriation in the realm of your spirit.
How Does God Accomplish His Purposes?
The great scroll described in Revelation chapters 4 and 5 is symbolic of the whole plan of God and all the purposes of God toward humanity. These chapters indicate that God did not sovereignly open the seals apart from a human instrument. His own Son had to be the first instrument in His hand to open the door for thousands of human instruments to fulfill the destiny that was written upon the scroll. Through a humble people who are yielded and submissive to Christ as Lord and believe in Him, God will achieve His purposes on earth. This Thanksgiving Day message describes the hour of destiny that we are already living in.

Available MP3 Download: We Must Foster And Nurture The Holy Spirit’s Presence, by Gary Hargrave, Portuguese translation by Silas Esteves. This message was spoken in CanĂ§Ă£o Nova, SĂ£o Paulo, Brazil on Monday, January 22, 2018.
We Must Foster And Nurture The Holy Spirit’s Presence
There are two Scriptures that should give all of us a drive for oneness. First, if there is any prayer that the Father will answer, it’s the prayer of His Son: “that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You” (John 17:21-23). Our impact on a world that needs to know God is dependent in many ways on our oneness. Our perfection and our growth is likewise dependent on our oneness. We have gifts and anointings that we need to receive from each other. Secondly, the apostle Paul implores us to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called. . .and to be diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit (Ephesians 4:1-3). As we walk together in the diversities of gifts and ministries that the Holy Spirit has given us, we must be driven and diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit. As long as we are divided, none of us are right. Who has the truth? Jesus Christ is the truth and the Holy Spirit brings oneness. If we remain in oneness, in the unity of the Spirit, then the Holy Spirit Himself will teach us and train us and bring us into the unity of the faith. God has made us temples of the Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 3:16). By our actions and our relationships to each other, we either woo the Spirit to continue living within us, or we grieve Him until His Presence departs (Isaiah 63:10). We must be leaders who live in a way that fosters and nurtures the continued presence of the Holy Spirit–in our lives, in our churches, and in the people we lead. Father, we ask for grace to create an atmosphere for the Holy Spirit to continue dwelling in us. Wherever division still exists between Catholics, Protestants, and other believers, we ask for Your mercy. We repent of the division in our own hearts. We repent of the ideas and attitudes that divide us from one another. Father, answer the prayer of Your Son, Jesus, and make us one. This Word came during a meeting with the leadership of the Catholic charismatic movement in Brazil. The meeting began with an expression of appreciation for Pope Francis and concluded with a prophecy that what God is doing within the charismatic Catholics will have its foundation in Brazil.

Available MP3 Download: Partakers Of His Divine Nature, by Gary Hargrave, Portuguese translation by Silas Esteves. This message was spoken at Mt. Zion, NiterĂ³i, Brazil on Sunday, January 21, 2018.
Partakers Of His Divine Nature
Jesus was constantly reaching to hear the voice of the Father so that He would speak only those things He heard the Father speaking, and He would do only those things He saw the Father doing. (John 5:30; 12:49). If we are the Body of Christ, then we must be like Christ. He was the fullness of God on earth. He appropriated that divine nature in His time of prayer with the Father. This quality of prayer life and relationship with the Father are absolutely foundational for us to function in the prophetic ministry. In this new day, we cannot continue to wait for God to do something that He has already done. There is nothing more for Him to do. He has granted us everything pertaining to life and godliness (II Peter 1:3). The very nature of God is in the realm of spirit, available at any moment, at any time, for us to partake of. We must be driven to find that secret place with the Father where we receive all that He has provided. Jesus would send away the multitudes and the disciples so He could be alone with the Father. He would pray with the Father after doing some of the greatest things you can imagine. Those things happened because of what He appropriated from the Father, but He walked away from them with a hunger to receive more from Him. He was driven to have His time with the Father. We need that same drive in our hearts. We have a promise of entering into His nature. Today, we throw out the passivity that isn’t disturbed every day by the fact that this promise remains (Hebrews 4:1) and we have not become partakers of it. Father, give us the drive that was in the heart of Christ. Give us a drive to lock ourselves into You until we receive Your divine nature.

Jesus Showed Us How To Pray
Jesus lived a consistent life of prayer. He devoted Himself to continually find His secret place with His Father. After Jesus taught the multitudes, performed miracles and healings, or cast out demons, His response was to go and be alone with the Father to pray. Christ was a man; yet He became the fullness of the Father in a human vessel. He did this through a life of prayer. Hebrews 5:7-9 gives us a picture of Jesus: In the days of His flesh, He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death. In His personal life of prayer, Jesus locked His Spirit into the Father; He learned the voice and the will of the Father. When He prayed, He filled Himself with the Spirit, equipping Himself to move as the Son of God. He learned how to draw the very nature of the Father into Himself and to appropriate the empowering of the Holy Spirit. The strength to face the most difficult time of His life–His crucifixion on the cross–was born out of His time of prayer alone with the Father. The oneness and ministry of the Body of Christ is very important. Your participation in a congregation of believers is very important. However, whatever we will accomplish as the Body of Christ will only happen because of your individual life of prayer. The Body-wide ministry will never be a substitute for your personal walk with Him. When Christ taught the disciples how to pray, He said, “…when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret…” (Matthew 6:6). Find your place of prayer. Find a place where you are able to engage in that personal relationship with the Father. Let Him work in your life and in your spirit. Nothing is more important than engaging yourself with the only One who is able to save you and impart to you all that is available in the Holy Spirit.
