THE WINNERS ARE THE SERVANTS
January 16, 1976 Friday P.M. Val.
It’s only the winners that become the true servants. It’s our mighty conqueror “who ever lives to make intercession for us.” The greatest becomes the servant. The Lord and Master washes the disciples’ feet. The destiny of the overcomer is to be a bondservant. The degree of our victory is measured by the faithfulness of our service. (73 min.)

THE FOCUS DETERMINES THE FLOW
January 18, 1976 Sunday A.M. Val.
Here is another message on divine order with vital and fresh revelations for each church. The contrast between the words of revelation and empty talk are expounded. Focus on the Lord brings a revelation flow. Focus on other people and on problems brings a flow of bitterness, criticism, complaining, etc. (73 min.)

CREATED TO BE POSSESSED
December 31, 1975 Wednesday P.M. Ana.
Christ took upon Himself the form of a bondservant in His total humility and abasement. He received authority and exaltation from the Father. He says to us, “Wash feet and be happy.” Become His servant. You were created to become His possession. (31 min.)

THE GREATEST FOUR SERVANTS
January 4, 1976 Sunday P.M. SoG.
This chapter presents Christ and three of the early church apostles in their total dedication to the bond-servant ministry. They are four examples of what it means to be possessed totally by the Father’s will and to be totally subservient to anything required as a bondservant of the Lord, created and possessed wholly by the Father.

“DON’T BE DISCONTENTED”
February 13, 1975 Thursday A.M. Val.
Three great truths emphasized here: 1. Contentment is an expression of your spirit of trust in God in spite of current circumstances. 2. Discontent is a focus on circumstances, interpreting them by the fears and lies of Satan. 3. The believer who is also a giver has the promise of being a receiver of the supply of all his needs.

July 26, 1974 Friday P.M. Iowa
A right spirit and a right attitude! When the Lord invites us to follow Him, He bears the yoke beside us. True authority leads by sharing the burden with us. We are true yokefellows in this walk with God! (60 min.)

FREE TO SERVE
September 12, 1973 Wednesday P.M. Val.
