DIGGING FOR OUR DEEP ROOTS
October 20, 1979 Saturday A.M. Shiloh
Days of fasting and prayer at Shiloh resulted in this word to Brother Stevens and must be shared. It must be listened to very carefully for it reveals the unrealized depth that the root of a wrong spirit can reach. It holds before us also the goal of attaining that deep root of a right and willing spirit. (44 min.)

THE SHEPHERD’S COMPASSION AND COMMISSION
October 20, 1979 Saturday Aft. Shiloh
Why can a grievance turn a heart away from a living word and a commission from the Lord? The answer is the love and compassion we have, for the Lord in His Word will reject every grievance, “takes no account of a wrong suffered.” By His Word we grow in grace and appropriate the grace to grow.

September 29, 1979 Saturday P.M. Ana.
The ministries’ convocation at Anaheim responded in depth to the probing of the Holy Spirit into the problems of a wrong spirit, the perils of bitterness and the simple directives that will purge us from these negative and destructive things in our spirit. The picture of the present shaking, because of the Living Word we have heard, shows us God’s hand in causing every wrong thing in our spirit to surface. (54 min.)

DON’T LET THAT THING FESTER!
April 5, 1979 Thursday P.M. L.W. Bldg.
Resentment and bitterness grows every day that it is not checked and dealt with. A heart closes when an experience is interpreted with unbelief or rebellion. But faith opens the door for every word and every experience also to grow. How blessed is the forgiveness that prevents the growth of bitterness. We ultimately become the product of the things that have festered. (29 min.)

THE THINGS THAT FESTER
April 5, 1979 Thursday P.M. L.W. Bldg.

July 28, 1978 Friday P.M. Iowa
Locked in? What did it? For how long? What is the key of release? The bitter, unforgiving spirit seems incapable of change for the good–locked in and inflexible for years, sometimes for life. “If you do not forgive, then your Father will not forgive…”-the only condition to the Lord’s Prayer. Listen to this word and ask yourself, “Have I arrested my own progress and defeated myself by my own spirit?” (46 min.)

The Living Word was established in 1968 out of a vision to capture, preserve, and publish the teachings of John Robert Stevens. Many of Stevens' sermons have been edited and published in books, manuals, and a weekly periodical titled "This Week."
The Living Word continues in its ministry today—carefully preserving and publishing messages taken from the vast library of John Robert Stevens' ministry from 1950-1983, as well as the messages of others who teach and minister the Word.
