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

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.)

IN MOTION
June 17, 1978 Saturday A.M. Shiloh

HOW THE WORD IS MADE FLESH #1
May 5, 1974 Sunday A.M. Val.
Christ is the Word–i.e. the expression of all the Father is and reveals. As we receive Him and His Word we are becoming also the word made flesh. We are the living epistles of Christ. The first chapter of John also ends with the words “the Son of Man.” So the chapter begins designating Jesus as God and ends designating Him as the Son of Man. We only understand our Redeemer when we understand how completely He became man and how perfectly we will take on the nature of God.

ACCEPTABLE LIVING SACRIFICES

PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP
This message is taken from Lesson 7 in the manual, Worship. The Father hears us and receives our worship solely on the basis of the blood of His Son. The best preparation for worship is the humility which recognizes that we are nothing in ourselves and that only through His grace can we offer acceptable sacrifices of praise and worship. (35 min.)

REVERENT WORSHIPERS
Worship coupled with the fear of the Lord brings a restraint to the flesh and a revelation of Christ’s perfect provision for the flesh. When the enemy says, “You’re a bum,” respond by saying, “I know, but God has chosen me to be a son, and I believe that a perfect work will be accomplished in my life.” (34 1/2 min.)
