CONTROL OR CHANGE?

Release #: 81-09-01-01-R

This cassette tape contained the following message by John Robert Stevens.

August 28, 1981 Friday A.M. Hono.

The object of governments, political or religious, has been to control the conduct and behavior of its constituents. This means to create a conformity and image of righteousness. Righteousness, however, is a change of nature and an impartation of a new nature from God. God seeks to change what He would control. Babylon seeks to control what it cannot change. (56 min.)

Late on the night of the second Sunday of the Victory Siege, the revelation and the word flowed to show us the way to Kingdom works. Impartation must come from those who are dedicated to those with the same dedication. A shepherd’s heart must be the key to Timothy becoming an apostle. (72 min.)

A SLAVE HAS NO CHOICES

Release #: 79-02-01-08-R

This cassette tape contained the following message by John Robert Stevens.

January 21, 1979 Sunday A.M. Iowa

It is easy to accept bondage because bondage does not require a spiritual perception or revelation. The only requirement of a slave is the drudgery of laborious obedience. In bondage no issues are resolved, no decisions are made. With freedom comes a responsibility to choose, to learn, to strive for his freedom and to attain his greatest potentials as a free person. The earnest prayers of the free are often greater than the cries of the oppressed. (48 min.)

HIS WONDERFUL WAYS OF SPEAKING
June 2, 1978 Friday A.M. Shiloh

How infinite are the ways by which God conveys Himself and His word to us, and how wonderful to have ears to hear what He says. A beautiful stimulus to turn you into the Lord. (36 min.)

I HAVE A QUESTION, LORD!
June 20, 1978 Tuesday A.M. Shiloh

It’s one thing to hear a word from the Lord; it’s quite another to live with it. It is also a problem to see His acts and not understand His reasons or His ways. Habakkuk had these problems and he brought them to the Lord. A good exposition of this minor prophet’s vision and message. (18 min.)

This cassette tape contained the following 2 messages by John Robert Stevens.

GRACE OR NOTHING AT ALL
June 25, 1978 Sunday A.M. Shiloh

Frequently the Holy Spirit emphasizes grace in the book of Galatians. This word and the one that follows, “Is It Legal,” liberates us again from the religious tendency to please God in the flesh. Again and again the word is made real. The change in us that is acceptable to God is by grace. Human disciplines and religious efforts are unacceptable to God. (32 1/2 min.)

Scriptures: Gal. 5:1-8,13-16; 6:14-16;(I Cor. 13:13); (Phil. 1:6); (John 3:6); (Phil. 2:12); (Acts 23:6); (Luke 3:9)

Series: Expository
Rated: For Mature Sons, JRS Selected Messages

IS IT LEGAL?
June 25, 1978 Sunday P.M. Iowa

Legalism and legalistic religion are the efforts to do and become what God demands without His regeneration or creation. Most religion can be without grace or any real change. Every word from God we try to fulfill without faith becomes an empty form.Divine patterns can be without His presence, but a divine pattern with faith always has His presence. An exposition of Galatians, chapters 1 to 3. (34 1/2 min.)

Scriptures: Gal. 1:6-9,15-16; 2:8-10,16-21; Gal. 3:2-6,26-29; II Cor. 9:8; (Rom. 3:20); (Phil. 1:6);(Heb. 12:2); (Rom. 10:17);(I Tim. 4:8); (Deut. 34:7); (Isa. 30:21); (Mal. 3:10);(Prov. 19:17); (James 2:5)

May 8, 1976 Saturday P.M. SoG.

As a prophetic company the emphasis isn’t on what you can do or learn, but on what you are becoming in the Lord. There isn’t any attribute of God that you can’t appropriate; there isn’t any gift that can’t be dispersed throughout the Body. We are moving into a high level of impartation. This lesson covers eleven attributes that we must appropriate as we move into sonship. Restriction to the School of Prophets only is lifted on this one. (56 min.)

OUR DELIVERANCE, OUR DEDICATION, OUR DESTINY

THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE OR THE LAW OF THE KING
December 29, 1974 Sunday A.M. Val.

The Kingdom of God is based on principles and laws which seem to be most impractical to human thinking. We cannot obey these principles nor live by them until first we have been changed from the human level to the divine spiritual nature. You cannot do God’s will perfectly until first you have His nature.

HOW TO DISPOSE OF THE BODY–PART I
December 8, 1974 Sunday A.M. Val.

What shall we do with the body-i.e. the flesh nature we have inherited from Adam? Shall we indulge it, excuse it, suppress it, discipline it, circumcise it? No, no, no! We crucify it! If we circumcise it, it may still dominate our lives. If we crucify it, we walk with God. (59 min.)

What shall we do with our sin and sin nature? Shall we hold it to be an inescapable chain to our spirit or shall we deny that it even exists at all?

The first Passover delivered the Israelites from Egypt into the wilderness–a change of circumstances without a change in their natures. Today God is bringing a Passover which first changes our nature and then affects our circumstances. We become the miracle. While this message is shorter and simpler, the tape is of great value in the exceptional worship and psalms–it is most unique. (60 min.)

August 25, 1971 Wednesday P.M. Chico

The key to all change is an openness and exposure to God. We’ll be changed “in the twinkling of an eye” when we see Him, but we don’t wait till the last trumpet. To the extent that we see Christ, have a revelation of Him and love Him, we’re changed. This is the path of instant saints. (52 min.)
