Here’s a Living Word that lays out simple guidelines and directives in our “con forming to the image of His sons,” Romans 8:29. It applies to our oneness in Christ stressing the areas that we tolerate one another, but stressing the areas in which we confront one another. Why is it that we always see our brothers’ impasses so clearly, but not our own?

This is one of the more practical messages on the Kingdom of God inasmuch as it comes in the back door with false, negative comments on fifty basic principles by which Babylon functions. It is an unusual tape because it comes on strong with subtle sarcasm with a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the negativity of Babylon. (46 min.)

June 20, 1979 Wednesday A.M. Hono.
On the north shore of Oahu the Holy Spirit, grieving, revealed what organized Christianity had done to the Island people and is doing to the whole Body of Christ now. The vision reaches into the purity of the Kingdom to come when the money changers will again be driven from God’s House. Will not judgment begin with the smug religious den of thieves? This tape is a land mine that the Babylonian dedication will explode. It will be a controversial tape but it will be the sting of Christ’s whip on the back of the money changers and a clear prophecy to ecclesiastical and financial Babylon. To the thousand prophets, this is excellent. (60 min.)

THE FEAR OF REJECTION
March 11, 1979 Sunday A.M. Val.
The secret of the Gospel is that Christ suffered so that God could include us in His heart. But the fear of rejection in the old adamic nature so conditions us that we are slow to accept our acceptance by both God and the Body of Christ. When the fear of rejection is purged from us, the pure word of God will flow much freer between us. (20 min.)

YOUR FAITH IN LIMITATIONS
March 11, 1979 Sunday A.M. Ana.
We tend to believe more in the limitations that we have assumed or been taught about ourselves than we believe in the promises and provisions of God that deny those limitations and say, “All things are possible to him that believeth.” Defeat is already in the heart before you enter the fray.

January 20, 1979 Saturday P.M. Shiloh
The adamic nature in its first manifestation was the viciousness of the older brother, Cain, who slew the younger brother. This word left Shiloh stunned for a week, for it dealt with the scriptural as well as the current examples of the destructive put-down of the younger ministries. This word opens the door to the proper discipline of the pupil, as well as to the proper spirit of each Timothy and teacher who commits the word to the faithful ones who shall “be able to teach others also.

Something is ready to happen! We are leaving the day of the individual and entering the day of the Body of Christ. The world would make us put our neck in a yoke like an animal but God would make us one in Him and manifest us together as His sons. You are not an animal–you are a son.
