I Pray That Your Faith Not Fail
December 26, 2008 Friday 7:30 PM North Hills, CA
Christ’s relationship with Peter is an illustration of how to deal with the dilemma and the dichotomy of having His treasure within an earthen vessel. As with Peter, He is strengthening our faith that we will remain in a relationship of discipleship with Him, no matter how our flesh nature detracts us from carrying His presence. One illustration of this Word was the love and faith that we ministered to the local community through The Magical Christmas Caroling Truck event.(11:58)

Deliver Us From Buttons
August 18, 2008 Monday 7:30 PM North Hills, CA
God is ready to use the fourth generation as the channels for the outpouring of His Spirit. However, we must also realize that, in the midst of God’s outpouring, the flesh nature is a vulnerable target to Satan’s scheming to discredit the moving of God. Tonight, we reach into an experience of putting on the new self, until we can stand as Christ and say, “Satan comes and finds nothing in me.” (46:10)

THE SPIRIT OF ARROGANCE
October 7, 1981 Wednesday P.M. S.D.
This is a scriptural study of elemental spirits and our release from them in the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of priests who stand in His presence have authority over the elemental spirits which have governed this present age. As we discern and confront the elemental spirits, we find the spirit of arrogance to be a basic and satanic enemy of the Kingdom. (37 1/2 min.)

The past hours and days have seen the Holy Spirit revive the prophecies and promises and goals of intercession for which we’ve expended our lives. What limited the measure of fulfillment? The flesh-mind remains the diluting input to our spiritfaith. The limited fulfillment to the Word may have disillusioned, but God will let no flesh glory in His presence. Therefore, the purification of the priesthood precedes God moving in swift judgment. (52 1/2 min.)

BI-LEVEL LIVING IS DANGEROUS
May 5, 1981 Tuesday A.M. No. H.
In the spiritual warfare in which the shepherds are defending the sheep from the wolves, we need to understand our openness to transference, to assault, and the bonds that drain our life. Living on the plane of flesh as well as spirit leaves us vulnerable. The flesh can cross out the spirit. The wavering prayer crosses out faith and there is no answer. This bi-level living is dangerous. (34 min.)

This tongue-in-cheek presentation of the false premises by which Babylon functions is contrasted to the Kingdom truths and principles. Here are given fifty basic lies of Babylon in contrast to fifty basic biblical truths of the Kingdom. The sequel to the way Babylon operates and functions is found in the corresponding positive principles and Kingdom proverbs that creatively stimulates and produces the climate that is pregnant with potential for the Kingdom.

Religious flesh tries to produce what God requires but only brings forth a facsimile, a phony, human image of the righteous, spiritual being that God creates of us.

October 8, 1974 Tuesday A.M. Ana.
The problems of the sons of the prophets today are similar to the problems of the prophets in Elisha’s day. There was miracle deliverance over problems of family, famine, and finances. In addition to these we see in these stories the problem of a pure word, the problem of inadequate provision, and the problem of adverse circumstances. (56 min.)

THE WHEAT AND THE CHAFF
May 26, 1974 Sunday A.M. Val.
John the Baptist prophesies that Christ would inaugurate the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire. John gives special emphasis to the Spirit’s threshing that we may be separated from those things in our life which must be removed. The Holy Spirit sets fire to our chaff.

THE AXE AND THE THRESHING FLAIL
May 26, 1974 Sunday A.M. Ana.
John the Baptist saw that the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire was involved with the removal and destruction of the fleshly nature which restricts and voids all that God would do through us. God gives an axe to the root, a flail to the chaff. The psalms that came in many different languages are prophetically indicative of what God is bringing forth in the whole world.

This message inspires the desire to read again these epistles. The first chapter is expounded in the two messages on this tape. This is a must for the Bible student, and a seed plot of basic teaching for the minister of the Word. (52 min.)

Most of the works of the flesh described in Gal. 5:20 are the psychic and emotional forces of the flesh in a “striking out” at another person. This flesh is self-destructive and its judgment is self-inflicted. The believer must crucify this flesh or the flesh will destroy him. (58 min.)

KEEP WATCHING–MATT. 26:41

With deep awareness of their coming failures and betrayal, Jesus told His disciples that He would meet them in Galilee. After the resurrection He met them.
