DIGGING FOR OUR DEEP ROOTS
October 20, 1979 Saturday A.M. Shiloh

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? The answer is the love and compassion we have, for the Lord in His Word will reject every grievance, “takes no account of a wrong suffered.” By His Word we grow in grace and appropriate the grace to grow.

THE LOVE SLAVE THAT FREES HIS BOND SLAVES
April 6, 1979 Friday P.M. L.W. Bldg.

How deeply He loved His disciples so He became like a slave to wash their feet and thus He set them free. We become Christ’s slaves and then we become the liberating vessels of grace and “through love we become servants one to another.” (33 min.)

THE HUMBLE LOVE
March 26, 1979 Monday A.M. No. H.

The world has a type of love that is still competitive between husband and wife, parents and children, brothers and sisters. The Lord would devastate that competitiveness and teach us that true love is humble. “It vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil.” We love Him so we serve Him. This word came out of ministry to one of the little sisters that works freely in the Living Word Building. (11 min.)

THE HUMBLE HUNGER
March 1, 1979 Thursday P.M. Shiloh

The true hunger after God is always a humble manifestation and with every blessing and fulfillment to that hunger, that heart grows more humble still. The arrogant search of the Pharisee never led them to the Christ who washes His disciples’ feet. (12 min.)

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.)

FREE BOND SERVANTS
July 4, 1978 Tuesday A.M. Ana.

This Living Word in no way harps on legalistic details of behavior. Because of the purity of the vision it brings forth a submission to a bond servant “bondage” which exceeds anything the most heavy-handed holiness preaching ever achieved. Rather than requiring forms or rules of discipleship the word is urging us to present our bodies a living sacrifice, to be genuinely concerned for the interests of the Lord. (31 1/2 min.)
