Your Flesh Will Never Please God
September 6, 2008 Saturday 6:00 PM North Hills, CA

We cannot be crying out for an outpouring of God unless we also grieve over the existence of our flesh nature. We cannot contend for an outpouring, yet remain in our flesh nature, expecting God to fill it. Our flesh cannot please God. Tonight, we ask for a grieving and a repentance for the flesh. This Word is a milestone for us during this time of seeking God.(56:9)

THE FEAST BEFORE THE CROSS
December 27, 1981 Sunday Aft. No. H.

The work of the cross in our lives should not be viewed as a punishment, because Christ was condemned in our stead.

September 28, 1979 Friday P.M. Ana.

God adapts Himself to the varying degrees of hardness in the hearts of His people. God also never rejects a broken and a contrite heart.

FAITH: MY KEY AND MY SHIELD
July 29, 1979 Sunday Aft. Shiloh

Ephesians 6 describes our faith as a shield that repels, resists and rejects the satanic assault against us. The other five chapters contain references to our faith as the means to our sustenance, our mutual edification and, in fact, the key to all of God’s great provision for us. Our faith in the Word must emphasize it as a shield in warfare or little that we believe for comes to pass. (39 min.)

DO I READ IT OR DO I EAT IT?
July 29, 1979 Sunday P.M. Iowa

Through the Scriptures the implication is given that the prophets and the apostles of the Lord did not merely read, they ate the Word of the Lord and they witnessed that it was sweet to the taste but bitter to the stomach. The difficult process is assimilation of the Word and becoming what it reveals. (33 min.)

A SLAVE HAS NO CHOICES

Out of Print

Release #: 79-02-01-08-R

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

January 21, 1979 Sunday A.M. Iowa

It is easy to accept bondage because bondage does not require a spiritual perception or revelation. The only requirement of a slave is the drudgery of laborious obedience. In bondage no issues are resolved, no decisions are made. With freedom comes a responsibility to choose, to learn, to strive for his freedom and to attain his greatest potentials as a free person. The earnest prayers of the free are often greater than the cries of the oppressed. (48 min.)

“Conformity Becomes a Form” began as a one-half hour flow of revelation in the upper room at Shiloh. This tape was played to the Shiloh School of Prophets and was followed by another one-half hour sequel in which the truth is established that the day of conformity and forms will give way to the day of His likeness in each one of us as He comes forth to be glorified in His saints.

When you want to count the cost, it’s too much to pay. When the treasure hid in the field is revealed, no price is too great. We are committing ourselves to the big “yes” before we know what the question will be. We rejoice in the treasure until its price is of no consequence. (36 min.)

OUR CROSS IS THE COST
November 12, 1978 Sunday A.M. Ana.

AM I WILLING TO BE WILLING?
November 5, 1978 Sunday A.M. Val.

We have a revelation of what we are to be but we find ourselves unwilling to pay the price involved. We are apprehensive and we murmur rather than possess Canaan. The giants seem so tall when viewed in reluctant unbelief. Lord, make us willing, or make us willing to be willing. This is the sequel to, “We Repent For What We Are Not.” (40 min.)

DO I KNOW ME?
November 5, 1978 Sunday A.M. Ana.

A Laodicean does not know when he is naked or poor or miserable. He does not know what his spiritual state is and if he did know, it would take some zealous repenting to motivate him out of it. What is the answer? The Lord says, “I know you,” and He alone can reveal to you your own heart. (30 min.)

I WILL REMEMBER THE BITTER DAYS
April 6, 1977 Wednesday A.M. Ana.

Exodus 12 remains the classic story of slaves who would quickly forget the grace of God that delivered them from the bitter days. Yearly they ate a lamb roasted with the fire symbolic of judgment, with bitter herbs. We also feast upon the Lamb who bore our judgments and we do not forget the bitter days that have passed or “the pit from which we were dug.” (32 min.)

STRUTTIN’ OUT OF EGYPT
April 6, 1977 Wednesday P.M. Val.

Here is a fresh illumination of the Passover story. How God took the oppressed and made them the oppressors, how slaves walked out clothed with the finery and jewels of the Egyptians. It’s good to be free. It’s good for ex-slaves to strut a little. This service was a minor riot. (40 min.)

THE JOURNEY FROM YESTERDAY TO TOMORROW

Ours is not a Christ of tradition only. The history of our Christ becomes our present experience through the Holy Spirit. Our present experience in turn develops into the future spiritual state and relationship with Christ. (53 min.)

IDENTIFICATION AND TRANSFERENCE
October 26, 1974 Saturday A.M. Hono.

Christ identified with us and died for our sins. We died with Him that we might live for Him-as His love-slaves. If our sins were transferred to Him, then His righteousness is transferred to us! Yes, even His nature is transferred to us! He is coming forth in us–the manifestation of the Son in many sons. Become the righteousness of God! Sonship can be our possession. This is excellent teaching for the Walk now.

Scriptures: II Cor. 5:14-21; John 15:1
Topics: Transference; Manifestation of the Sons of God; Identification; Righteousness; Travail; Overcoming; Death of the Flesh
Series: Honolulu Fall Convocation, Oct. 1974; Cross-ref., Into the Higher Level

RECONCILED TO GOD
October 26, 1974 Saturday Aft. Hono.

It is not what we are in the flesh, it is what we are becoming in Christ. It is important that a believer sees himself–as well as his brother and sister–as a son of God. If he has this image of himself and his brother, he can anticipate and claim the flow from God into his very being and through himself to others. This is what transference is all about.

Scriptures: II Cor. 5:16-21; II Pet. 1:4
Topics: Transference; Manifestation of the Sons of God; Kingdom Evangelism; Reconciliation; Christ in You; Crucifixion; Flesh

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

July 13, 1974 Saturday A.M. Ana.

The basic problem to our walk with God is the coexistence of the flesh nature and the new creation–spirit nature. They create a civil war within us which exhausts and depletes our inner resources and energies. The works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit are contrasted. (57 min.)

HARD HATS FOR SOFT HEADS

Release #: 74-06-12-07-R

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

June 6, 1974 Thursday A.M. Val.

The helmet which protects our minds from that continual assault Satan brings is the hope of salvation. There is nothing more disastrous than the satanic oppressive despair. The carnal mind, when so obsessed with despairs, is indeed death. In fact, we must come to the end of our natural human hopefulness and appropriate His hope and faith. This study traces the origin in Isaiah of these pieces of armor and identifies them with the end-time judgments of Christ. (55 min.)

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

May 26, 1974 Sunday P.M. Ana.

The Lord brings us into the fire and we find all of the human level of life losing its interest for us. The natural instincts of self-preservation and joy in things, in people of the world, and in friends dies. Often even the will to live disappears. The baptism of fire brings the end of the flesh life that we might live in the Spirit. (60 min.)
