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.)

February 7, 1976 Saturday P.M. SoG.

FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY
January 10, 1976 Saturday A.M. Ana.
Satan is oppressing our “time”. Time like our souls must be redeemed. Satan’s thorns are designed to choke the word to prevent its fulfillment. Satan rages for his time is short and unless these days are shortened all living will die. We must see our days redeemed from the futility of the curse. (73 min.)

I HAVE IT IN MY POCKET
January 11, 1976 Sunday P.M. SoG.
To summarize this message is difficult. The word of faith creates the substance or the object and the heart of faith holds that substance as the only valid reality. Hope focuses on something in the future but faith creates in the Spirit now the substance that will later appear in tangible form. This word will release faith in your heart into action. (73 min.)
