A Force Stronger Than Death
December 13, 2008 Saturday 7:30 PM Mt. Zion, Niteroi, Brazil
Love is as strong as death, but your will is stronger than love. When your will is set to do the will of the Father, you are plugged into the power of Christ’s resurrection life, and that power is stronger than death. We mix our love with our will that is set to do God’s will. (28:44)

Now We Are Children Of God
September 29, 2007 Saturday 5:30 PM North Hills, CA
In this Word, we liberated ourselves from the greatest illusion about our Father. We do not have to be perfect to be in God’s presence — we are already good in the Father’s sight. Once our sin nature is taken away in the Atonement experience, then God dwells among us and delights in perfecting us by His provision. Today, we see ourselves as we are, the beloved children of God.

Passover–Do Or Die
April 7, 2007 Saturday 9:30 AM North Hills, CA
Part of the bondage we have been under is the belief that there are no consequences if we don’t walk in the Word. Your individual application of the Word is a matter of life and death. Today, we commit to walk, without excuses, in the simplicity of the Word that God has given.

We don’t realize how far we’ve come, how much we’ve become, or how much faith we have. We don’t realize the potential of our faith to create our reality. Remember, our facts are determined by our faith. The approach of faith does not focus on what is wrong, but only what He has provided. (19 3/4 min.)

You can never accept the blessings of God with a defiled heart. Leave the leaven of position which produces malice and wickedness.

FEAR IS A DEEP ROOT

There are dedicated servants of the Lord who will obey and do anything they are told. And then there are those who seek to serve you and to think like you–true bond-servants whose life belongs to another.

THE PASSOVER AFTER THE CROSSOVER–I
May 2, 1976 Sunday A.M. Val.
Most timely is this message for us as we anticipate the fulfillment of promises and the possession of all God has set before US. Here is the Joshua 5 story of a Passover for a people with hearts circumcised. Everything was changing in the transition from wilderness land to Beulah land. Then a new revelation of the “general” of the army was expedient. The first message, from the Valley, is probably more complete but the second version from Anaheim is included because of the vein of humor and different approach to the same basic word. Indeed, you will enjoy listening to both. This word may be emphasized and amplified in the immediate days ahead.
Scriptures: | Josh. 5:2-3,7-14; (Heb. 12:6) |

THE PASSOVER AFTER THE CROSSOVER–II
May 2, 1976 Sunday A.M. Ana.
Most timely is this message for us as we anticipate the fulfillment of promises and the possession of all God has set before US. Here is the Joshua 5 story of a Passover for a people with hearts circumcised. Everything was changing in the transition from wilderness land to Beulah land. Then a new revelation of the “general” of the army was expedient. The first message, from the Valley, is probably more complete but the second version from Anaheim is included because of the vein of humor and different approach to the same basic word. Indeed, you will enjoy listening to both. This word may be emphasized and amplified in the immediate days ahead.

FROM OBEDIENCE TO THE GREATER WORKS

“AS IF YOU WERE LIVING IN THE WORLD”–COLOSSIANS 2:20
August 7, 1975 Thursday A.M. Val.
It is a natural human tendency to be religious and to equate human discipline with true righteousness. It is human to think that changes in our habits and life-style are a true change of our spirit. This is not true. This message is basic to establish this truth. True change comes to us by the grace of God and with our acceptance of what His grace does to us.
