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.

The Galatians substituted circumcision for the work of the cross. They became religious, but not righteous.

This study in Galatians highlights the passages that show what they had and why they lost it. (45 min.)

“LORD, WHAT WILL PEOPLE SAY?”
November 5, 1977 Saturday A.M. Shiloh
Moses knew the ways and the character of the Lord.

His provision for intercession gives prayer the priority over all other laws. (44 min.)

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.)

DON’T BOTHER ME–I’M DEAD!
December 15, 1974 Sunday A.M. Val.
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.)

HOW TO DISPOSE OF THE BODY–PART I
December 8, 1974 Sunday A.M. Val.
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.)

HOW TO DISPOSE OF THE BODY–PART II

What shall we do with our sin and sin nature? Shall we hold it to be an inescapable chain to our spirit or shall we deny that it even exists at all?

The flesh fills the vacuum that is created in the life of a man of God who is idle or who has withdrawn from the battle.
