The object of governments, political or religious, has been to control the conduct and behavior of its constituents. This means to create a conformity and image of righteousness. Righteousness, however, is a change of nature and an impartation of a new nature from God. God seeks to change what He would control. Babylon seeks to control what it cannot change. (56 min.)

THE SEARCH FOR THE LAST SPOT
October 15, 1978 Sunday A.M. Val.
The worst form of bondage is thelittle bondages or limitations that you don’t perceive that you have. These are the little foxes, the spots and wrinkles the Bride must remove. The worst deception is that we are unaware of what we have from God or we would reach for a greater revelation of Him and of those limitations we are unaware of. These terms are contradictory: an honest liar, a wise fool,an off-white robe of righteousness. (33 1/2 min.)

SILVER TUREEN OR CHAMBER POT?
October 15, 1978 Sunday A.M. Ana.
Each day of the feast required less sacrifices than the day before, for each day their need of purifying diminished. By the day of rejoicing they were ready to press into new levels of service. We are rejoicing in what He has done in us, but we weep before Him that we might rejoice even more. This feast our tears are the meat sandwich between the layers of bread of rejoicing. These tears determine whether we will be vessels of honor or dishonor. (36 min.)

FREE BOND SERVANTS
July 4, 1978 Tuesday A.M. Ana.
This Living Word in no way harps on legalistic details of behavior. Because of the purity of the vision it brings forth a submission to a bond servant “bondage” which exceeds anything the most heavy-handed holiness preaching ever achieved. Rather than requiring forms or rules of discipleship the word is urging us to present our bodies a living sacrifice, to be genuinely concerned for the interests of the Lord. (31 1/2 min.)

HOW DO YOU HEAR?
July 5, 1978 Wednesday P.M. Ana.

March 26, 1977 Saturday A.M. Ana.
“Lord, forgive us for rebelling over the things that should have prepared our hearts to rule.” We know there is no preparation to rule but a broken heart and no perfect faith without humility. The whips of Egypt should have prepared us to conquer the giants of Canaan. (57 1/2 min.)

November 29, 1974 Friday A.M. Utah
The flesh fills the vacuum that is created in the life of a man of God who is idle or who has withdrawn from the battle.

This is absolutely essential teaching defining legalism, the freedom of grace, and the life that is filled with the Spirit. (56 min.)
