WE’RE PREPARING FOR IT
May 20, 1979 Sunday P.M. Iowa
This message reveals our basic belief in the first resurrection, otherwise called the rapture, and goes in to the specific goals and emphasis of the Scripture in regard to the endtime events and the coming of the Lord. It establishes clearly the faith that we have taught for many, many years about the coming of the Lord, but also reveals that persecution and tribulation that evidently precedes that coming of the Lord and the emphasis of the Scripture upon our preparation for these end-time events. May we stand blameless before Him at His coming. (33 1/2 min.)

THE SHEEP OF THE KINGDOM
May 27, 1979 Sunday 10:00 A.M. Iowa
The basis of the judgment that determines our entry into the Kingdom is an evaluation of our relationship to one another. The flowing love for one another, the care of one another is actually our esteem of Christ. This gives us a classification of a sheep, not a goat. (37 min.)

THE OPEN HEART
December 16, 1978 Saturday A.M. Ana.

FROM THE PAGE TO THE HEART
December 10, 1978 Sunday A.M. Val.
The defectors and the failures are those who do not seek the word and the will of God. But that word must be transplanted from the page to the heart. The word will not be fulfilled in us and through us until we have become the scriptural transplants. (11 1/2 min.)

THE FAMILY HEART

Both the Valley and the Anaheim word is combined in this tape. A great deal of prophetic flow in Anaheim is combined with the Valley’s Romans 8 message. The present pattern of services is thus: 1) the intense intercession, 2) the breakthrough into worship, and 3) the high level of prophecy. The prophecy is high level. (21 min.)

August 28, 1977 Sunday A.M. Ana.
Historically, as well as scripturally, Satan has opposed what God was bringing forth at that hour. After a “present truth” is established the battle shifts to the next step in the restoration. What Satan opposed a century ago is not the issue in this hour; what God is doing now is the threat to Satan. (57 min.)

August 22, 1976 Sunday A.M. Val.
The natural realm is changed from the spiritual realm. We have no leverage in the world unless we are seated with Christ in the heavenlies. Satan’s power in the natural realm is doomed because he has no authority left in the spiritual realm. As we move up, Satan is cast down and now we battle and displace him in the natural realm..

The promises of God, though vast in scope, must be appropriated in exact and specific prayers of faith. The message emphasizes that all of the promises God has ever made to all of His servants have become specifically ours through Christ. This is a strong faithbuilding word. (54 min.)

This word is one of the clearest expositions of the true scriptural teaching on the Parousia, the Rapture, the impelling drive of the Holy Spirit in us. We will refer to this message for a long time. The goal before us is to be preserved complete and wholly (spirit, soul, and body). (56 min.)

The tape will be a total experience instead of a teaching service. You’re incited to demand Jehovah to be manifested. This word teaches us how to think about the Kingdom, about everything that opposes the Kingdom. It will blast you loose from traditional, conventional attitudes and orient you to the Kingdom.

The judgments of Egypt began with blood and the final liberation of Israel is by the blood of the Lamb. This message traces the first covenant sealed by the sprinkling of blood and on to the new covenant in Christ’s blood and the astounding aspects of our perfection and the perfect defeat of Satan through the blood of Christ. This message with the comments from other ministries gives many invaluable themes for messages and sermons. We will dig into this one for a long time. (72 min.)

Elijah was frustrated by his greatest victory! That victory fell short of the total release he sought. He had accomplished no more than his fathers before him. His discouragement was a refusal to rejoice in an imperfect victory, but God gave him double portions to complete His work through him. This message will be the answer for hundreds in the Walk.

A man of God is placed in jeopardy when he allows the pressure of people to cause him to divert or alter to some degree the word which God has given him.
