August 6, 1978 Sunday P.M. Val.
This is one of the most important words to come so far to help anyone having questions of selfcondemnation or self-justification. The focus has shifted to a revelation of Him instead of a focus upon ourselves. (41 1/2 min.)

August 5, 1978 Saturday A.M. Ana.
Again the word flows about the negative effectiveness of a wrong spirit. The word comes as a key that unlocks the prison to those who have incarcerated themselves by the bitterness and criticism of their own spirit. (55 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.)
Scriptures: | Gal. 5:1-8,13-16; 6:14-16;(I Cor. 13:13); (Phil. 1:6); (John 3:6); (Phil. 2:12); (Acts 23:6); (Luke 3:9) |

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.)
Scriptures: | Gal. 1:6-9,15-16; 2:8-10,16-21; Gal. 3:2-6,26-29; II Cor. 9:8; (Rom. 3:20); (Phil. 1:6);(Heb. 12:2); (Rom. 10:17);(I Tim. 4:8); (Deut. 34:7); (Isa. 30:21); (Mal. 3:10);(Prov. 19:17); (James 2:5) |

March 28, 1976 Sunday P.M. Val.
This service in the Valley started out to be a jubilee service but was redirected into a bombastic declaration of the truths of the principles by which the Kingdom of God functions. New areas of revelation are briefly touched. The service reads like a brochure describing many areas which we will explore. (52 min.)

FULL OF SAP
December 15, 1974 Sunday A.M. Ana.
You can’t fake it! God doesn’t want a reasonable facsimile of His righteousness in His sons! He wants to see His own nature in us. Will He see a Pharisee in you or will He see a son who is fair-to-see? No. He will see the fruitful branches full of sap–His life flowing into us. (59 min.)

I’M SICK OF ME!
December 15, 1974 Sunday P.M. Ana.

July 11, 1974 Thursday A.M. Val.

THIS IS HOW HE DOES IT!

THE PRODIGAL SON
There are none that need the Lord so much as those who are not aware of their need. The attitude of the elder brother in the story of the prodigal son parallels that of many self-righteous Pharisees in our day. This outstanding message will lead you to evaluate afresh your need for God, and will bring you to a deeper realization of His grace. (25 min.)
Scriptures: | Luke 15:1-2,11-32; (Luke 18:9-14) |
