I Don’t Remember
August 10, 2008 Sunday 9:30 AM North Hills, CA
Today, we completed our salvation experience by entering into God’s forgetting of our sin. Satan continues to be victorious over us when we accept Christ but entertain Satan’s remembrances. Through the apostolic word and Communion, the power of God transformed a hungry people.(12:6)

FALSE GUILT
October 5, 1980 Sunday P.M. No. H.

WHY DO YOU PUT UP WALLS?
January 25, 1980 Friday P.M. Hono.
“Walls” are for our personal defense against our weaknesses and vulnerability. Many of us have an openness in us and that can let in the enemy and defeat us. When on this Kingdom level we have no open doors, we will need no walls of defense. The walls of defense are also divisive and destructive to communication and unity. We have learned that an openness is a deep weakness in us which can only be removed by deep repentance. (33 min.)

HOW MUCH DO WE TOLERATE?
January 2, 1980 Wednesday A.M. Haiku
In the oneness of our Kingdom relationships, there are important questions to be resolved. How much do we tolerate in ourselves and in our brother? How much should we truly stand against in ourselves and in others that is wrong? But the greatest question is this: how much do we strengthen and bless because we have the wisdom to see that the changes each of us are making are toward the conformity to Christ in all things –Romans 8:28-29. Where do we conform? What do we tolerate? What do we oppose? (16 1/2 min.)

December 15, 1974 Sunday A.M. Val.
If we died with Christ when He suffered for our sins, then we are dead to the demands and condemnation of the law. If we died in Christ once, we are dead to the law and cannot be brought into a second jeopardy. You can’t crucify a man twice for the same offense. (56 min.)

It is human to boast in race, heritage, or position but it is wrong. God sees us differently-estranged and cut off from covenants and blessings.
