THE LAW OF THE UNEQUAL YOKE
October 25, 1981 Sunday A.M. Val.
When the laws of God from a previous age become incomplete, the grace of God opens up a higher provision to the believer who serves Him. Although we are bound to obey God’s laws, the law of separation unto God takes priority over the laws of bondage. (45 1/2 min.)

“THEY WERE MINISTERING TO THE LORD” ACTS 13:1
November 17, 1981 Tuesday A.M. No. H.
God gives priority to the spiritual ministry His people have to Him. God’s lesser directives and commands can be correctly fulfilled only as we have the proper emphasis. Our spirits must be liberated from the wrong priority of “responsibility” into our prime function of ministry to the Lord. (10 1/2 min.)

Here is a most practical yet ideal vision of the Kingdom intercession that is coming. As Romans 8 intercessors we participate in the prayers of the Spirit and of our Lord. Be careful in listening to this tape that those with liberty in prayer note their intercession is to be channeled, but also let those who are under restraint and withdrawal not interpret the word to justify or excuse their withdrawal. Hear it and the Lord will give you understanding. (42 min.)

A MIRACLE COMES WHERE THERE IS NO ANSWER

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.)

GRACE OR NOTHING AT ALL
June 25, 1978 Sunday A.M. Shiloh
Frequently the Holy Spirit emphasizes grace in the book of Galatians. This word and the one that follows, “Is It Legal,” liberates us again from the religious tendency to please God in the flesh. Again and again the word is made real. The change in us that is acceptable to God is by grace. Human disciplines and religious efforts are unacceptable to God. (32 1/2 min.)

IS IT LEGAL?
June 25, 1978 Sunday P.M. Iowa
Legalism and legalistic religion are the efforts to do and become what God demands without His regeneration or creation. Most religion can be without grace or any real change. Every word from God we try to fulfill without faith becomes an empty form.Divine patterns can be without His presence, but a divine pattern with faith always has His presence. An exposition of Galatians, chapters 1 to 3. (34 1/2 min.)

This word climaxes the series “Out of Our Minds” emphasizing the defeat that comes through responding in mind and emotions on the human level. Christ’s victory is manifested as we think and react to all circumstances, relationships and emotional stimuli as a son of God would react. (57 min.)

GIVING WITH KINGDOM FAITH
October 24, 1976 Sunday A.M. Val.
This second message has the same theme as the first but it is amplified with various detours. These side-thoughts expand the basic principle of tithing because of faith in the revelation of the Kingdom of God to your own heart. It is included with the first in spite of duplicating content because of the impact of these detours. (35 min.)

GIVING WITH REVELATION
October 24, 1976 Sunday A.M. Ana.
Abraham, blessed by Melchizedek, saw the Kingdom of God and expressed his faith in giving tithes. Jacob also saw the “ladder” with the heavens open. He proclaimed himself a tither because of this revelation. Thus tithing first came because of faith in the revelation of the Kingdom. Later tithing became a thing of the law. Tithing for us is again a revelation of the Kingdom. This is a clear guideline for the teaching of tithing in the future. (26 min.)

The key of Body ministry is that each member of the Body be able to identify themselves as a member of the Body and relate to the Lord as well as to the Body.

“Proclaim liberty throughout all the land and to the inhabitants thereof,” Leviticus 25:10. This Scripture is inscribed on the Liberty Bell. Our celebration of independence is similar to the sounding of jubilee. Today we are sounding the jubilee of the Kingdom that proclaims the downfall of oppression and the release of the oppressed.

The Kingdom will be what you determine it to be. The day you live in will be the day your faith chooses to live in. Proclaim the Kingdom now and walk in the light of the new day.

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.)
