The unfolding begins with our oneness with the Lord and it ends with the cycle completed back to our worshiping in oneness in His presence. The beginning and the ending are the same. Thus, this word is both the conclusion and the introduction of the unending unfolding of the Kingdom. This tape introduces and also concludes all of the tapes in “The Unfolding.” (88 min.)

LET THE LORD LOVE YOU!
January 28, 1979 Sunday 7:00 A.M. Shiloh
Rachael was loved by Jacob who served fourteen years of labor to obtain her as his wife. Was she aware of how much she was loved? Did she ever love the Lord as her husband loved Him? Why did she steal her father’s household idols? Was her own lack of dedication the reason that she died in travail? (32 1/2 min.)

EVERYTHING MUST SURFACE
January 28, 1979 Sunday P.M. Shiloh
Elisha, the prophet of the double portion, made the axe head float on the surface of the Jordan River. Now, in the days of the double portion, a submissive faith in the Living Word will cause many things that are submerged deep in our unconscious minds to surface. The lost ministries will be restored and the seeds of bitterness and rebellion, buried for many years, will surface that God may deal with these seeds of our future failures (34 1/2 min.)

January 18, 1979 Thursday P.M. Shiloh
“Conformity Becomes a Form” began as a one-half hour flow of revelation in the upper room at Shiloh. This tape was played to the Shiloh School of Prophets and was followed by another one-half hour sequel in which the truth is established that the day of conformity and forms will give way to the day of His likeness in each one of us as He comes forth to be glorified in His saints. On the second tape, another hour of dialogue and questions expanded this fresh vision of what is before us. (53 min.)

Ritual and tradition can become the greatest enemy of a revelation of God. Our observance of the feast based on revelation can create change. Religion can exist without revelation and without faith in God at all. Religion can be a cop-out for unbelief. Keep the feast with focus and revelation on the Lord, repentance, anticipation and gut level appropriation. (55 min.)

IN MOTION
June 17, 1978 Saturday A.M. Shiloh

THOROUGHLY
May 30, 1978 Tuesday A.M. Shiloh
The Psalmist is deeply concerned about his relationship to God and his sin against the Lord. “Against Thee only have I sinned.” His repentance demands of himself a broken and a contrite heart. Do we sense the greatness of a sin against God over a sin against another or ourselves? (30 min.)

August 26, 1971 Thursday A.M. Chico
The Holy Spirit does not come to us just for a personal experience and blessing, but His distinct function is to make us continually aware of the Lord Jesus Christ.

IDENTIFIED WITH CHRIST
August 27, 1971 Friday A.M. Chico
Here are the beautiful truths of identification. The Lord so identifies Himself with you, that anything done unto you, He considers as done unto Himself. You can so accept your identification with Him that everything is what you can become and have. Be baptized into the death that He dies for you; then be raised up into the life that He’ll now live through you. (38 min.)

Those who have already battled and possessed their inheritance now lead the battle for the rest to possess theirs.

The emphasis of this walk has been the Lordship of Jesus Christ and our worship. Where Christ is preached as Lord, the climate of worship prevails. Changes take place as the Lord is revealed in worship. When we magnify the flesh, the flesh prevails. When we worship the Lord, His victory prevails. (49 min.)

The numerous scriptural references in this message give us examples of men who were aware of the Lord’s presence with them. The Lord is with us, but there is an initiative of faith on our part that rips the veil of unawareness and causes us to sense His presence continually. (57 1/2 min.)

HIS PRESENCE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
We will be able to do the will of God even when it is contrary to our own desire when the Lord is more real to us than the difficult circumstances which confront us. Discouragement can have no power over those who carry an awareness of His presence. Meditation upon the Lord is a key of a deep appropriation of the attributes of God. (42 min.)

HIS PRESENCE–OUR AWARENESS PART I
It is important for every one of us to develop our capacity to sense the presence of the Lord. When we are aware of Him, we can better appropriate what He has directed towards us. Faith is not the result of what we see with our eyes on the physical plane but the revelation of the Lord’s omnipresence on the spiritual plane. (39 min.)
