FOLLOW THE LEADER
January 6, 1982 Wednesday Aft. No. H.
The Lord’s commission to each of us determines the role in which we serve Him. By His commission, we are to be the leaders or the followers in His Kingdom; but neither leader nor follower should distort by their influence on each other what God wants or what God wills us to be. Whether we are leaders or followers-neither is a position to be pursued nor promoted. (24 min.)

CREATE THE ATMOSPHERE
January 14, 1982 Thursday 5:00 P.M. No. H.
Because God gives His commissions and charges to the meek and the humble that are apparently without leadership drive, it is necessary that those who have a revelation of that one’s commission should create the proper atmosphere of faith for its fulfillment. They must believe, submit, but never put down nor exert undue influence upon that commissioned one. (56 1/2 min.)

HOW THE FIRST BECOMES LAST
May 5, 1979 Saturday A.M. Ana.
The first shall be last and the last shall be first. The Holy Spirit is revealing to all of us this Kingdom principle and we are experiencing it. The secret of the multiplication of the great apostolic company is found in the humility of the leader who brings forth authority in the Timothy servants. Before changes come in the ministries, those over them have the revelation and vision for them to change. The humble kneeling leader allows the young ministries to leapfrog over him. (46 1/2 min.)

THE FREE THINGS COST THE MOST
April 29, 1979 Sunday P.M. Iowa
There is a very basic picture that shows how the grace of God provides all things for us freely, but the cost we pay to be faithful with these gifts is total. (39 min.)

A WORD TO TIMOTHYS AND TEACHERS
Out of Print
Release #: 79-02-01-06-R
This cassette tape contained the following message by John Robert Stevens.
January 20, 1979 Saturday P.M. Shiloh
The adamic nature in its first manifestation was the viciousness of the older brother, Cain, who slew the younger brother. This word left Shiloh stunned for a week, for it dealt with the scriptural as well as the current examples of the destructive put-down of the younger ministries. This word opens the door to the proper discipline of the pupil, as well as to the proper spirit of each Timothy and teacher who commits the word to the faithful ones who shall “be able to teach others also. (81 min.)

Release #: 79-01-08-03-R
This cassette tape contained the following message by John Robert Stevens.
January 7, 1979 Sunday A.M. Ana.
Again a very foundational but advanced picture of divine order, how we relate to those who are commissioned with authority in the Body. As we are submissive one to another, we have faith in their commission from the Lord and for the Lord to complete and perfect that ministry. In our submission there must be faith in what God has commissioned, trust He will bring it to pass, but most of all we must have a revelation of that commission. (57 min.)

July 15, 1978 Saturday Aft. S.D.
The commission of a Timothy ministry to Coniah and a review of the word of the Lord over them resulted in a breaking down of the bottlenecks in the flow of the local body in Coniah. Step by step God is working a tremendous deliverance for this church. This is a good word for every church that feels they are pocketed in locally and want to be in the Kingdom flow with all that God is doing. The service ends with the commission of Brother Brent Finney and edifying ministry to Brother R.D. Cronquist. (63 min.)

July 16, 1978 Sunday A.M. Val.
A spontaneous eruption by the Holy Spirit pointed us to the perils of worship without faith. The mechanics are in vain without the faith that embraces His presence. Another very essential word given to the Valley church, but relative to every church everywhere. This is the final answer to prevent forms without His power. (41 1/2 min.)

In a true prophets’ meeting in Grace Chapel of South Gate the prophets gave one of the most important pictures of the first fruit ministry of Christ coming forth. This was followed in the wisdom of God with guidelines for the leaders of worship and intercession. Probably this is the most important word to come on intercession and its relationship to bringing forth the Kingdom that has come to date. (42 1/2 min.)

MOVE UP HIGHER SO OTHERS CAN MOVE IN
November 28, 1976 Sunday A.M. Pretoria, South Africa
It was expedient for Christ to ascend to His intercessory ministry, and that the apostles move into the vacuum He left. As the apostolic ministries rise into their higher level they leave their place for other ministries to move into and fill. This principle will be the safeguard to protect the Walk from one-man kingdoms and stagnation. The Body can remain a flexible, new wineskin by following this word. Here is one more principle of Body ministry. (38 1/2 min.)

WHEN SATAN FLEES
November 20, 1976 Saturday A.M. Pretoria, South Africa
Both faith and unbelief are manifested by what we accept and what we reject. We accept Jesus as Lord and submit to Him. Under His authority we move in His authority to totally resist, i.e., reject Satan and all His works. Result: Satan flees! This service followed a night of our standing with Apostle Swart while he resisted a vicious satanic assault. (19 min.)

THE FIXED FOCUS, SERIES 103, LESSON 1, REVIEW AND DIRECTIVES (1st SESSION)
January 17, 1976 Saturday P.M. SoG.
When faith focuses upon the Lord it prevails over all opposition and every distraction. Focused, aggressive initiative opens the windows of heaven. The service that is blessed is the result of the focus and worship in that service. The Kingdom will come forth because of the word, and the word only comes forth from a focused heart. (48 min.)

The service that is blessed is the result of the focus and worship in that service. The Kingdom will come forth because of the word, and the word only comes forth from a focused heart.

APOSTOLIC DIRECTIVES FOR DIVINE ORDER
January 17, 1976 Saturday A.M. Ana.
The service was filled with apostolic directives which will initiate changes in our worship and expand our revelation of divine order. First came the word on our worship, giving us instructions that will change all of the churches. Then came a message showing that divine order and family order are one in the same. This is probably the most important teaching on worship and order to come in several years. (52 min.)

This is an expository of the chapters that defend Paul’s apostleship and teaches us how to think and relate to the apostolic ministry.
