You can never accept the blessings of God with a defiled heart. Leave the leaven of position which produces malice and wickedness. The formula for getting us out of our problems is more problems, but there’s no such thing as an evil thing happening to you if you love God. It’s not the progress that God’s looking for, it’s the purity of our faith. (71 min.)

March 30, 1980 Sunday A.M. Ana.
This becomes the deepest and most revealing picture of Babylon’s defilement of the church by the creation of ecclesiastical positions. The greatest step to come in the restoration is the destruction of these positions and the restoring of commission ministries. Entrenched religious organization is the consistent crucifier of the prophets who are sent in the name of the Lord. Beware of the leaven of the pharisees. (68 min.)

This word began in Washington, D.C. on Sunday morning and was completed in the Sunday evening service. The two messages together give the panorama of the basics in our walk with God into the Kingdom, from our first openness to the Word to our witness and persecution over it, from our first worship in the Spirit to our warfare in the Spirit.

“CALL ME MARA” RUTH 1:19-21
October 21, 1979 Sunday A.M. Shiloh
When God sought for a greatgrandmother of King David, a man after God’s own heart who said his heart was fixed on God, He picked Ruth, a woman of determined faith, without bitterness at the dealings of God. Her motherin-law changed her name from “pleasant” to “bitter” under those same dealings that Ruth endured. Bitterness results from the evaluation of your circumstances and God’s dealings without complete faith in the Word He has spoken. (33 min.)

BITTERNESS REMEMBERS WHAT GOD HAS FORGOTTEN

Bitterness is often a memory of distorted facts and our subjective reaction to the past. But God sees faith and accounts it for righteousness and blots out the memory of even our transgressions against Himself. Should we not also pray to forgive and forget, and account our brother’s faith as righteousness? (8 min.)

Days of fasting and prayer at Shiloh resulted in this word to Brother Stevens and must be shared.

THE SHEPHERD’S COMPASSION AND COMMISSION
October 20, 1979 Saturday Aft. Shiloh
Why can a grievance turn a heart away from a living word and a commission from the Lord?

OUR UNWAVERING CONFESSION

God holds the pen; your heart is the tablet. Let Him make a living tattoo upon your heart and upon your mind, and what He speaks to you, hold it with an unwavering hope and confession.

SEASONED WITH SALT
July 22, 1979 Sunday P.M. Iowa
The words that we speak will be the only preserving factor in all of this planet. These words must not be the mouthing of empty and trite phrases or the quotation of Scriptures by rote. We must let His Word dwell in us richly and then we speak, we sing psalms, we make melody in our hearts to the Lord. Do not let your word lose its salt because you have negated it by rebellion, criticism, “empty words.” (16 min.)

DON’T LET THAT THING FESTER!
April 5, 1979 Thursday P.M. L.W. Bldg.
Resentment and bitterness grows every day that it is not checked and dealt with. A heart closes when an experience is interpreted with unbelief or rebellion. But faith opens the door for every word and every experience also to grow. How blessed is the forgiveness that prevents the growth of bitterness. We ultimately become the product of the things that have festered. (29 min.)

THE THINGS THAT FESTER

THE DEDICATION-REVELATION
October 28, 1978 Saturday A.M. Ana.
When God brings a revelation word to a man he faces two alternatives. First, if he accepts the revelation he must become dedicated to walk in that revelation. The other alternative is his refusal to walk in his revelation and he automatically submits to a measure of deception. The cross is involved in dedication and the disciple “dies” upon the word he receives. Deception will also lead to a death but that is a total spiritual death. (31 1/2 min.)

From one of the imprecatory psalms we can see the brokenness of David who says, “My heart is wounded within me” mingled with the pure prayer against those dedicated to wickedness, “Let his prayer become sin, let his days be few.” The brokenness flowswith the intense intercession for judgment.

This word like the message, “Are You Locked In?” unfolds the deadly peril of a bitter spirit. These two messages could have prevented most of the problems encountered in our spiritual warfare. This word also traces the effects of bitterness in the lives of the embittered and in the lives of those close to them. Bitterness immobilizes a believer like the sting of the hornet puts his prey in a state of suspended animation. This is a must. (57 1/2 min.)

Locked in? What did it? For how long? What is the key of release? The bitter, unforgiving spirit seems incapable of change for the good–locked in and inflexible for years, sometimes for life. “If you do not forgive, then your Father will not forgive…”-the only condition to the Lord’s Prayer. Listen to this word and ask yourself, “Have I arrested my own progress and defeated myself by my own spirit?” (46 min.)
