The age-long search of the Father for worshipers is accomplished when we joyfully worship in His presence. Satan has lost his battle when we worship in the Spirit.

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.

ANXIOUS LONGING OR EARNEST EXPECTATION
July 29, 1979 Sunday A.M. Shiloh
We’re in the siege, but ours is not a frustration, but an “earnest expectation” of the deliverance from futility.

EARNEST REJECTION
July 29, 1979 Sunday A.M. Iowa

GIVING WITH KINGDOM FAITH
October 24, 1976 Sunday A.M. Val.
This second message has the same theme as the first but it is amplified with various detours.

GIVING WITH REVELATION
October 24, 1976 Sunday A.M. Ana.
Abraham, blessed by Melchizedek, saw the Kingdom of God and expressed his faith in giving tithes. Jacob also saw the “ladder” with the heavens open. He proclaimed himself a tither because of this revelation. Thus tithing first came because of faith in the revelation of the Kingdom. Later tithing became a thing of the law. Tithing for us is again a revelation of the Kingdom. This is a clear guideline for the teaching of tithing in the future. (26 min.)

To summarize this message is difficult. The word of faith creates the substance or the object and the heart of faith holds that substance as the only valid reality.

“I’LL TOLERATE NO DELAY!!!”
September 21, 1975 Sunday A.M. Val.
Satan has a timetable of destruction so that “no flesh will be saved alive.” To accomplish his purpose he tries to hinder, to delay or to distract us from the word God has given us to fulfill. In this message the answer is given to blast through the walls of delay. Several apostolic exhortations that came in the Anaheim service follow. These deeply stirred up also the violent hunger in everyone’s heart. The violent prayer after each exhortation is edited to about one minute although prayer time covered over an hour of the service. This is a very deeply moving service. “He Shall Come To Us As The Rain,” Sun. P.M. SoG. 9/21/75, is a very essential sequel which climaxes this morning’s word.

When Satan overwhelms with a spirit of futility, suicide often seems preferable. True faith refuses the world’s best and chooses the walk with God. Discouraging appearances do not detract from trust in God’s word. (57 min.)

THE MAGNIFICENT MEEK
August 18, 1974 Sunday A.M. Val.
Though limited as we are on the human level, our Lord walked in perfect authority over all things. The secret was this: He didn’t strive to be God but became a totally submissive man. Is this not the secret also of the sons of God who will have authority over futility?

FROM FUTILITY TO MATURITY
August 18, 1974 Sunday A.M. Ana.
The ministries of Ephesians 4:11 are given to bring the believer from his unstable, immature state into a submissive relationship in Christ and the other members of the Body. God purposes to deliver him from the futility of mind that governs man and bring him into a renewed mind and relationship to the Lord. God delivers him from the world of illusion and false images and brings him into His world of exposure and truth seen through the level of love and revelation.

God imposed futility upon man and creation alike until the hour that the sons of God would bring the release. Satan seeks to prolong the spirit of futility, especially upon the sons who are to be the first released from futility. This is the present area of conflict. We believe or we succomb to a satanic illusion of futility. (54 min.)

LIFTING THE CURSE

The curse on creation was imposed with the fall of man. Now with the coming of the manifestation of the sons of God, they will lift the curse from creation.

(A Prophetic Exhortation) What is it like to hurdle the boundaries of one age and find yourself in a day without horizon and find yourself a person without limitation?

MOUNTAIN THRESHERS
August 22, 1971 Sunday P.M. Chico
If you believe all that the Lord says, what He’s going to do for you and the way He will be with you, then you must accept a new identity.

WHAT CAN MAN DO TO ME?
August 23, 1971 Monday A.M. Chico
Woe be unto those that stand against a man of God in this hour for they will be allowed to come against God’s people for only one reason: the final justification of God’s destroying them from the face of the earth. We are like a colony of the Kingdom transplanted into a dying order of things. We will have evil surrounding us, but instead of being destroyed by it, we will survive as instruments that accomplish the purposes of God in this generation. (32 min.)
