GREATER THAN A CONQUEROR
January 1, 1980 Tuesday A.M. Haiku
Waiting on the Lord in Haiku, Brother Stevens brings a word that hits hard. It deals with very necessary dominion over our spirit as a prelude to authority and judgment. On the same tape you will find a sermon that came to the Honolulu body, with a lighter, but effective presentation of the same truth, “From Animals to Kings.” (18 1/2 min.)

FROM ANIMALS TO KINGS
January 6, 1980 Sunday A.M. Hono.
Ultimately all issues are resolved not by what you achieve in projects and ministering, but has God worked in you to rule over your own spirit? A little humor with a heavy word made a delightful Sunday morning service in Honolulu and one that everyone can relate to. (34 min.)

LOOK, NO VIPERS
October 17, 1976 Sunday P.M. Iowa
Once you have determined that your focus will be on the Lord you are constantly aware of the enemy’s roar. Satan would strike your heart with fears and lies to divert that focus of faith. Associate with those worshippers who will constantly strengthen your attention on the Lord. This is the pattern of victory. (33 1/2 min.)

THE VISION SUSTAINS US
October 20, 1976 Wednesday P.M. Iowa

April 11, 1976 Sunday A.M. Val.
The seven churches of Asia had amazing satanic assaults against them but the Word of God which they proclaimed was their victory. They overcame Satan not by prayers so much as by their testimony, prophetic proclamation of God’s Word. (40 min.)

THE ROAR OF THE PROWLING LION–I PETER 5:8
December 11, 1975 Thursday A.M. Val.
The success of our walk with God is based on our focusing on His Word. Satan, as a lion, roars to instill fear. Satan tries to distract from the word or distort circumstances to create fear.

SATAN THE LIMITED
December 11, 1975 Thursday P.M. SoG.
The scriptures clearly establish that the believer is unlimited. All things are possible to him. The scriptures also teach that Satan will be progressively limited until he is ultimately defeated. This is a very necessary message in the present spiritual warfare.
Scriptures: | Mark 9:23; Luke 10:17-20; Matt. 17:19-21; 21:21-22; I John 3:8; Rev. 12:9-11;12; (I Pet. 5:8); (Rev. 21:8); (Rom. 16:20) |

OUR DELIVERANCE, OUR DEDICATION, OUR DESTINY
July 10, 1975 Thursday A.M. Val.
The extent of our deliverance is often measured by the extent of our dedication. The deliverance God has for us is partially a deliverance from ourselves., but principally it is a deliverance to attain His very image and likeness. This message is what righteousness is all about.

May 15, 1975 Thursday P.M. Ana.
The New Testament emphasis relating to the Holy Spirit is on a continual state of fullness and overflow. The experiences are less emphasized than the fullness. The victories are always decisive when the believers are filled. This is the keynote message for the Feast of Pentecost and includes good worship, psalms, and an exhortation on deferred hope. (54 min.)

January 24, 1975 Friday P.M. Bay Area
Here we have the best basic teaching on the principle of transference in the Scriptures, and how God uses it for all He works in us, and Satan uses it for all his oppressions to us. If we are to counteract what Satan “transfers” to us, we must be SO filled with the Spirit that the counter pressures from within us-“rivers of living water”–overcome the pressures against us. This message with all the anointed exhortations that confirmed it will precipitate great changes in all those in the “Walk.” The service was followed by an all-night of prayer. (85 min.)

GOD’S SIDE HAS THE HEAVY ARTILLERY
January 12, 1975 Sunday A.M. Val.
Here is more deeper insight into “transference.” Now we learn to counteract and overcome the demonic force that comes against us. Filled with all His fullness we create a counter-tide by the initiative of our faith that overwhelms the enemy.
Scriptures: | Rom. 12:21; 16:20; Deut. 28:7,25; I John 4:4; Isa. 59:19 [KJV]; Isa. 53; Matt. 6:10,33; 26:39; Acts 21:8-14; Phil. 1:12-14,19-30; James 4:7; Rev. 12:12; Eph. 3:19-21; Gen. 3:15 |

ACTIVATE HIS FULLNESS
January 12, 1975 Sunday A.M. Ana.
There are similarities in the message to “God’s Side Has the Heavy Artillery.” However, the flow and counter-flow of transference is illustrated from the book of Acts. Both messages are essential to spiritual warfare.
Scriptures: | Acts 2:4,38-41; 4:3-8,23-34; Acts 5:12-29, 40-42; I John 4:4; Eph. 3:19-21; Isa. 59:19 [KJV]; Isa. 53; I Pet. 2:24; Gen. 1:26; I John 5:4; I Pet. 1:4; Gal. 5:15; John 16:11 |

THESE MEN–PART I
October 10, 1974 Thursday A.M. Val.
The heart of the book of Jude is the description and judgment of “these men” who are responsible for the apostacy and falling away from the faith. The appeal of the book is to contend for the faith once delivered to all saints. (58 min.)

IDENTIFICATION AND TRANSFERENCE
October 26, 1974 Saturday A.M. Hono.
Christ identified with us and died for our sins. We died with Him that we might live for Him-as His love-slaves. If our sins were transferred to Him, then His righteousness is transferred to us! Yes, even His nature is transferred to us! He is coming forth in us–the manifestation of the Son in many sons. Become the righteousness of God! Sonship can be our possession. This is excellent teaching for the Walk now.

RECONCILED TO GOD
October 26, 1974 Saturday Aft. Hono.
It is not what we are in the flesh, it is what we are becoming in Christ. It is important that a believer sees himself–as well as his brother and sister–as a son of God. If he has this image of himself and his brother, he can anticipate and claim the flow from God into his very being and through himself to others. This is what transference is all about.

THE MAGNIFICENT MEEK
August 18, 1974 Sunday A.M. Val.
Though limited as we are on the human level, our Lord walked in perfect authority over all things. The secret was this: He didn’t strive to be God but became a totally submissive man. Is this not the secret also of the sons of God who will have authority over futility?

FROM FUTILITY TO MATURITY
August 18, 1974 Sunday A.M. Ana.
The ministries of Ephesians 4:11 are given to bring the believer from his unstable, immature state into a submissive relationship in Christ and the other members of the Body. God purposes to deliver him from the futility of mind that governs man and bring him into a renewed mind and relationship to the Lord. God delivers him from the world of illusion and false images and brings him into His world of exposure and truth seen through the level of love and revelation.

THE SCHEMES OF THE DEVIL
March 7, 1974 Thursday A.M. Val.
God enables us to engulf ourselves in Him so that we do not meet the schemes of Satan or the assault of spirits on the human level; we are in the armor of God and the battle is not devil against human, but devil against God. (60 min.)
