August 22, 1981 Saturday A.M. Hono.
In the Kingdom there is no hit and run. If I confront you and enter your heart, I must have enough love for you to stay in your heart and dissolve all your walls, withdrawal, even past conditionings, responses and rejections. This is the ministry of perfect love, that knows even as it is known. By our love-oneness, we are perfected and perfect one another. In the Holy Communion, our remembering Christ enables us to cleanse all other memories of our past. (86 min.)

October 20, 1979 Saturday A.M. Shiloh
Days of fasting and prayer at Shiloh resulted in this word to Brother Stevens and must be shared.

THE SHEPHERD’S COMPASSION AND COMMISSION
October 20, 1979 Saturday Aft. Shiloh
Why can a grievance turn a heart away from a living word and a commission from the Lord? The answer is the love and compassion we have, for the Lord in His Word will reject every grievance, “takes no account of a wrong suffered.” By His Word we grow in grace and appropriate the grace to grow.

THE LOVE SLAVE THAT FREES HIS BOND SLAVES
April 6, 1979 Friday P.M. L.W. Bldg.

THE HUMBLE LOVE
March 26, 1979 Monday A.M. No. H.
The world has a type of love that is still competitive between husband and wife, parents and children, brothers and sisters. The Lord would devastate that competitiveness and teach us that true love is humble. “It vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil.” We love Him so we serve Him. This word came out of ministry to one of the little sisters that works freely in the Living Word Building. (11 min.)

THE HUMBLE HUNGER
March 1, 1979 Thursday P.M. Shiloh

July 29, 1978 Saturday A.M. Shiloh
This word like the message, “Are You Locked In?” unfolds the deadly peril of a bitter spirit. These two messages could have prevented most of the problems encountered in our spiritual warfare. This word also traces the effects of bitterness in the lives of the embittered and in the lives of those close to them. Bitterness immobilizes a believer like the sting of the hornet puts his prey in a state of suspended animation. This is a must. (57 1/2 min.)
