Honor Your Father
January 31, 2007 Wednesday 7:30 PM Mt. Zion, Niteroi, Brazil
Christ, as the Son of God, came into the world to open the door for many sons and daughters to come into a relationship with God the Father. This Word gives us a greater revelation of how the father ministry in the church is essential for fulfilling God’s desire to be a Father to His children. We honor the living example we have in our midst now; namely, how the apostolic ministry in Brazil was created, as a son, into a fathering ministry for a nation.

August 5, 1979 Sunday A.M. Iowa
To continue steadfastly in the apostolic word is to be drawn to a higher level in the Lord and to see the dispersal of your anointing to others that they are drawn upward also. And this message drew Shiloh and Washington, Iowa into one and will have that effect on every church that listens to this tape. This word represents a high flood mark for the Victory Siege and comes at the time of the 46th anniversary of the Washington, Iowa church. The word opened the hearts afresh to the love of the Living Word. (55 1/2 min.)

April 21, 1979 Saturday P.M. Ana.
For two hours in a School of Prophets’ dialogue in South Gate, Grace Chapel, there was the sequel to the Sabbath morning service. One said, “In the morning you said, ‘This is where we are;’ tonight you said, ‘This is how we do it.'” It opens the door to the family relationship at all of the various spiritual levels that now exist within the Walk. The prophecies have been fulfilled that there would be two distinct levels in 1979. This has come to pass, but now the word comes to show us that there will be no schism and no division, there will be no “superspiritual” group in contrast to those that are reluctant babes with a protracted infancy. This is one of the most important guidelines to come for many months. It shows us how that the churches with the different spiritual levels will move into this step of the Kingdom, which will include Kingdom evangelism as well as the perfection of sonship. (82 min.)

STIMULATION FOR STEWARDS

A nine minute message clarifies for the first time the difference between a lower level bond and the oneness of spirit.

January 29, 1978 Sunday A.M. Shiloh
This service exploded in a basic and essential revelation of the coming “rain of righteousness.” We exploded at Shiloh and for nearly three hours the word flowed and was voiced by a company of prophets. This is essential also to everyone who would understand the book of Romans and this is the heart cry of those who seek first Hit Kingdom and His righteousness. This basic revelation covers two tapes and it is recommended that the listener find time to listen to both tapes at one sitting. (114 1/2 min.)

THE BURDEN WE SHARE
January 7, 1978 Saturday A.M. Shiloh
The mutual exchange of burden is probably the most significant thing we have as the Father’s family. Each one of us must participate ourselves and bring forth everyone else in the Kingdom flow. All to be participators, all to be ministers, all to be functioning members of the family. (30 min.)

THE BURDEN WE DON’T SHARE

The Body must learn to eliminate its poisons but not on one another. Dump your bitterness and confusion on the Lord, but do not defile one another by what you dump on Him. (26 1/2 min.)

ENCOURAGING THE FATHER’S FAMILY
January 5, 1978 Thursday A.M. Shiloh
This is a good homey message to the family to help everyone in ministering. First we must have an opportunity, but we also need encouragement. Every member of the Body can do much to create for one another the opportunities to minister and we can certainly encourage every member of the Father’s family to move out. (23 1/2 min.)

THE HEAVENLY FATHER’S SEARCH
January 6, 1978 Friday A.M. Shiloh
How deep is the relationship between worship and intercession? Intercession becomes abortive instead of creative, it becomes defensive instead of authoritative when deep worship is missing. Worship puts intercession focus on the Lord and His Kingdom. Without worship intercession tends to focus on needs and tends to battle for victory without deep awareness of His perfect victory. Here is a basic essential apostolic word for the Kingdom now. (33 1/2 min.)
