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.

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.)

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP VERSUS KINGDOM RELATIONSHIP

Out of Print

Release #: 79-07-16-01-R

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

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.)

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

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

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.
