CONSCIENCE: DEAD OR ALIVE?
October 22, 1978 Sunday A.M. Val.
Did you realize that the religious conscience we have is a degenerate, depraved thing in the adamic nature,the atrophied capacity for worship that existed before the fall. How Satan would inspire, in the name of religion, works that are dead and contributions to produce those works. “The Lord purge your conscience from dead works.” (42 min.)

THERE WAS NO RELIGION IN EDEN
October 22, 1978 Sunday A.M. Ana.
Everything is evil that does not produce righteousness. The religious conscience strives often for works that do not produce righteousness.

LIVE ALIVE!!!
October 1, 1978 Sunday P.M. Val.
The awareness of the present, and of all God has given us, and of all the bonds and relationships that we have in Him now is a key to a present living instead of an unfulfilling hope that begs at the gates of the future. Say, “I am blessed.” Don’t say, with misery, “I hope to be blessed.” Drink deeply, with sensitivity of the heady wine cup of today’s people. The Kingdom is a now thing. If you lose the blessings of today’s relationships you will not have the capacity for tomorrow’s fulfillments. Love and enjoy your child today; tomorrow’s joyful memories are based on a diligence to seize moment by moment fulfillments of your faith and love. The exploits and greater works will all be done in a time called today. They will never be in the life of the dreamer who passively withdraws from the exertions of faith today, doing it and believing it now. (24 min.)

December 16, 1977 Friday P.M. Iowa
This tape is a four star because it must become a part of the spiritual thrust in every church. Although the application is to the Washington, Iowa body, every church will see themselves in this word that demands that every member enters into the service to participate and edify. The basic need of every church is for prophet-worship leaders who can give the keynote to what God is speaking to the Body, and for lead-sheep who can lead out the rest of the flock in participation. You will listen on this tape to people who have never prophesied before, and you realize God wants a Body that participates, not an audience only. The tape is of value to everyone who needs to move out in the services. Pastors will give this tape to their people with great benefit to the services. (49 1/2 min.)

One of the finest and freshest expositions of the flow of the word to us, the fantastic change in us, and the ultimate flow of that word from us in creative power. A very unique and important principle is set forth. We cannot minister anything to another until we have partaken of it ourselves first. Also we cannot minister to another until we have identified with them. Indeed we must always be a first partaker of what we would minister. (59 min.)
