The Word Creates A Functioning Apostolic Company
March 1, 2009 Sunday 9:30 AM Mt. Zion, Niteroi, Brazil
Finding an answer for the Los Angeles church has not been easy. Gary and Marilyn have looked for a resident apostolic company who have the abilities and talents to oversee the many areas of responsibility in Los Angeles. However, the first priority of this apostolic company must be the relationships among themselves, as well as their relationship with the other apostolic ministries in the fellowship. This message identifies the recent commissioning of the Los Angeles apostolic company.(47:29)

January 21, 1979 Sunday P.M. Iowa
Every personal prophecy is in a sense a commission from God, for that revelation reveals His intentions and purposes for that individual. It is important that we do not relate to a person on the basis of what he is, but on the basis of what God intends him to be. This makes submission to authority a matter of faith and love rather than a critical analysis of the one in authority. This is the word that could correct a thousand faulty relationships. (43 1/2 min.)

I SUBMIT TO YOUR COMMISSION
January 13, 1979 Saturday A.M. Shiloh

LORD, WORK IN US AND THROUGH US
January 14, 1979 Sunday A.M. Shiloh
This message is similar to the message at Sepulveda, January 7, 1979, “Not ‘For’ –But ‘With’.” The word goes a little more extensively into being a channel of the flow of the Spirit rather than a minister that initiates in himself his service to God. The emphasis in the tape is on the intercession the Holy Spirit brings through us. We work with Him and He works through us. (34 1/2 min.)

January 7, 1979 Sunday A.M. Ana.
Again a very foundational but advanced picture of divine order, how we relate to those who are commissioned with authority in the Body. As we are submissive one to another, we have faith in their commission from the Lord and for the Lord to complete and perfect that ministry. In our submission there must be faith in what God has commissioned, trust He will bring it to pass, but most of all we must have a revelation of that commission. (57 min.)

IMPARTATION IS A TWO WAY STREET
November 19, 1978 Sunday A.M. Val.
Here is a deeper look at the divine order at the local church. We impart and commission on the basis of revelation, not democratic election. By revelation we channel His authority to His people. We are responsible for what we receive by impartation and for what we give by impartation. We must strive with all purity and accuracy in the revelation by the laying on of hands to impart and commission God’s servants. (36 min.)

WHO IS GOING TO POSSESS YOU?
November 19, 1978 Sunday A.M. Ana.
The deep dedication of the Kingdom can never be accomplished by a legalistic, religious approach. Only the grace of God and the Living Word can teach us how to deny the flesh. We refuse to be possessed by anything except the Lord. (20 min.)

November 4, 1978 Saturday A.M. Ana.
Interlocked in the true definition of sonship is first the revelation of ourselves with the responsibility that is involved. As we sense our involvement and our commission we will despair from ever attaining that level of discipleship and we repent for what we have not yet attained as His sons. On this new level we repent more that we are not saints than we repent that we are sinners. (53 1/2 min.)

The commission of a Timothy ministry to Coniah and a review of the word of the Lord over them resulted in a breaking down of the bottlenecks in the flow of the local body in Coniah. Step by step God is working a tremendous deliverance for this church. This is a good word for every church that feels they are pocketed in locally and want to be in the Kingdom flow with all that God is doing. The service ends with the commission of Brother Brent Finney and edifying ministry to Brother R.D. Cronquist. (63 min.)

The great ministries of betrayal had revelation. Those who seized Jesus had to have a guide. It was an apostle’s kiss that betrayed Jesus Christ. Satan is looking for someone who has a word and a commission from God. He’s the usurper. (46 1/2 min.)

NOW, WHERE DID I GO?
October 23, 1976 Saturday A.M. Ana.
After the anointing Christ was tested to the depths, like a final examination, to unearth any hidden self-motivation. Every apostle and prophet will experience this testing also. There will be deep submission and dedication to God’s perfect glory wherever great authority is vested. This is a must for every ministry. (29 min.)

THIS WORD IS A PROPHECY
October 24, 1976 Sunday P.M. SoG.
In this hour Satan will deceive the whole world and few will be able to detect the many areas of deception that will bind the world to confusion. Just as Jezebel painted her face before destruction so Babylon will get a facelift to look like Zion before the hour of her destruction. Satan will give Zion the image of Babylon and Babylon the image of Zion. (28 min.)

THE KEEPERS OF THE THRESHOLD–PSALM 84
The sons of Korah wrote the 84th Psalm. It portrays them as men who were addicted to the presence of the Lord. Theirs was the job of escorting people into the presence of the Lord. We, like the sons of Korah, can usher people into the Lord’s presence by our worship. (28 min.)
