IMPARTATION IS A TWO WAY STREET
November 19, 1978 Sunday A.M. Val.
Here is a deeper look at the divine order at the local church. We impart and commission on the basis of revelation, not democratic election. By revelation we channel His authority to His people.

We must strive with all purity and accuracy in the revelation by the laying on of hands to impart and commission God’s servants. (36 min.)

FOUR GREAT PRINCIPLES IN THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH
Here are four principles which turn loose God’s power in the restored Church. 1) The beginning of all wisdom is to discern the season in which you are living. 2) We must by divine grace learn to live in His strength. 3) The unity of the Body is its effectiveness. 4) Appropriation is the key to possession.
