THE UPS AND DOWNS
May 20, 1979 Sunday 10:00 A.M. Iowa
This message, from the fourth chapter of Philippians, shows the consistent pattern that God uses to enlarge our faith, how He brings us to pinnacles of fulfillment and then strips us down so that we still, with full contentment and submission, believe Him with an even greater faith than we have before. The flow of faith in this service was incredible. As a pastor said, “A thousand problems were solved by this word of faith.” (32 min.)

DON’T LAY THOSE “IF’S” ON GOD
December 31, 1978 Sunday A.M. Ana.

NEITHER DIVISION NOR DIVERSION
November 2, 1977 Wednesday P.M. Iowa

EGO OR NO EGO–THAT IS THE QUESTION
September 9, 1977 Friday P.M. Iowa
We have a basic problem of a diminishing ego because of the work of the cross in us. The answer to this problem is a growing awareness of the Christ nature coming forth in us. We struggle with the co-existence of adamic discouragement and the victory of Christ. We must focus on the appropriation of Christ’s perfect victory in us. (17 1/2 min.)

HOW A PROPHET SEES

The prophet does not foresee things in a three dimensional aspect of time. Thousands of years may be bridged by a comma. Amos mingles prophecies spanning thousands of years in one chapter.

The gospel of the Kingdom was preached with a power-word. The promise of the Spirit was to be the power in their expanding witnessing. The key to this force and flow in our ministry is our waiting on the Lord. In Brother Stevens’ opinion the message was the highlight of the Feast of Pentecost. This word gives the key of walking fully in all we believe. (71 min.)
