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.

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.

Release #: 78-07-26-08-R

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

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.)
