The Laws Of The Spirit
October 21, 2006 Saturday 8:30 AM Shiloh, Kalona, IA

Just as in the natural realm, there are very real, foundational laws of the spirit realm that are in motion whether or not we believe in them or are aware of them. This Word gives us the key for reaping the blessings and fulfillments that are sown by following the laws of the Spirit. We begin this new course in our walk with God by repenting of our spiritual pride.

This cassette tape contained the following 2 messages by John Robert Stevens.

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHT-NESS
October 9, 1976 Saturday A.M. Ana.

To be righteous is to relate to God in a right way. Sin is the cancer of mankind’s spirit. It is when what God has created goes berserk and is expressed wrongly. Repentance must involve both a renunciation of a wrong relationship to God’s law and a humble embracing of God’s law with a right spirit and a right relationship to God. Here is the keynote word from the Lord for the Feast of Tabernacles. (47 1/2 min.)

Scriptures: James 5:16-17,9,12; (I Kings 18:21); (Prov. 16:32); (Heb. 4:16); (Jonah 3–4); (Psa. 37:4); (John 15:7); (Matt. 6:22); (Song of Sol. 2:15)

October 10, 1976 Sunday P.M. SoG.

The Bible is the story of God making Himself accessible to us who could not approach His holiness. What an unspeakable privilege it is to accept His invitation to come boldly to His throne. (10 1/2 min.)

If we died with Christ when He suffered for our sins, then we are dead to the demands and condemnation of the law. If we died in Christ once, we are dead to the law and cannot be brought into a second jeopardy. You can’t crucify a man twice for the same offense. (56 min.)

It is human to boast in race, heritage, or position but it is wrong. God sees us differently-estranged and cut off from covenants and blessings.

What shall we do with the body-i.e. the flesh nature we have inherited from Adam? Shall we indulge it, excuse it, suppress it, discipline it, circumcise it? No, no, no! We crucify it! If we circumcise it, it may still dominate our lives. If we crucify it, we walk with God. (59 min.)

The flesh fills the vacuum that is created in the life of a man of God who is idle or who has withdrawn from the battle.
