God establishes the balance between our being spiritual and our administrative functioning. To be only spiritual may be of no earthly good. TO be working mechanics may be of no heavenly good. The extreme emphasis of either the spiritual or the functioning creates an imbalance that God must always deal with. (71 1/2 min.)

FAITH: MY KEY AND MY SHIELD
July 29, 1979 Sunday Aft. Shiloh
Ephesians 6 describes our faith as a shield that repels, resists and rejects the satanic assault against us. The other five chapters contain references to our faith as the means to our sustenance, our mutual edification and, in fact, the key to all of God’s great provision for us. Our faith in the Word must emphasize it as a shield in warfare or little that we believe for comes to pass. (39 min.)

DO I READ IT OR DO I EAT IT?
July 29, 1979 Sunday P.M. Iowa
Through the Scriptures the implication is given that the prophets and the apostles of the Lord did not merely read, they ate the Word of the Lord and they witnessed that it was sweet to the taste but bitter to the stomach. The difficult process is assimilation of the Word and becoming what it reveals. (33 min.)

July 22, 1979 Sunday A.M. Shiloh
The inner conflict of every believer is to overcome the sense of rejection which he carries with him into God’s Kingdom. All relationships, communications and the flow of the Word must come through channels that sense their acceptance in God through their faith in Christ’s atonement. From this follows their acceptance of one another as the children of the Heavenly Father. To reject yourself in His sight is to reject the veracity of His Word. (52 1/2 min.)

VOICE IT WITH FAITH
June 10, 1979 Sunday A.M. Ana.
If you voice a need in unbelief or criticism you establish the need and problem. But if you voice a need, pinpointing it with a focus of your faith, you minister life and deliverance into the situation. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks wickedness. With the heart man believeth and speaketh deliverance. Only the spirit focused in faith can bring an end to the flesh. (43 min.)

June 9, 1979 Saturday A.M. Ana.
Satan can often defeat the unity among God’s people by preying upon their fear of rejection. Christ Jesus was despised and rejected so that by faith we can be accepted. The fear of rejection is unbelief in the Word of God which proclaims us to be one. (54 min.)

FEAR IS A DEEP ROOT
April 6, 1979 Friday P.M. L.W. Bldg.
I make my declaration against fear for I know it to be infectious to my spirit. If I fear it is like a low grade fever that chills my bones at every encounter, in every relationship, and in every hostile circumstance. I confess fear to be an evil thing, a sin against the integrity of God’s word, and I refuse it. (13 min.)

ALL OF GOD’S CHILDREN GOT SHOES
April 6, 1979 Friday P.M. L.W. Bldg.
In the Passover experiences God seems more concerned about our feet than our head. There are no Passover hats, but we leave Egypt with sandals on our feet, and when we stand in His presence we remove our sandals. Thus, we learn to walk and we learn to worship. (10 min.)

THE FEAR OF REJECTION
March 11, 1979 Sunday A.M. Val.
The secret of the Gospel is that Christ suffered so that God could include us in His heart. But the fear of rejection in the old adamic nature so conditions us that we are slow to accept our acceptance by both God and the Body of Christ. When the fear of rejection is purged from us, the pure word of God will flow much freer between us. (20 min.)

YOUR FAITH IN LIMITATIONS
March 11, 1979 Sunday A.M. Ana.
We tend to believe more in the limitations that we have assumed or been taught about ourselves than we believe in the promises and provisions of God that deny those limitations and say, “All things are possible to him that believeth.” Defeat is already in the heart before you enter the fray.

July 21, 1976 Wednesday A.M. Shiloh
The ministry of a prophet depends upon what he allows in his heart and upon what he rejects and eliminates. He must develop a shell–an immunity to everything that would defile his spirit. He must absorb and retain everything God says. (44 min.)

CAIN’S WAY
May 23, 1976 Sunday A.M. Val.
Cain, Korah and Baalam–these three represent the basic end-time sin. Their sin is in their relationship to God and to His people and this word explains these sins that are behind the withdrawal and the building of walls in the Body. Here is another excellent word on our relationships.

CAIN’S SIN
May 23, 1976 Sunday A.M. Ana.
The sin of Cain is murderous anger at the blessing of the Lord on another instead of upon himself. The law of love impels a brother to lay down his life for another and he rejoices when great blessings from the Lord are upon another. (58 min.)

REJECTION IS A “NO NO”
July 14, 1974 Sunday P.M. SoG.
How many have said, “I am hungry for more of God,” but the fear of being rejected wipes out the hunger. You must believe in your divine commission and be faithful to fulfill it as the Apostle Paul was even though the world and sometimes much of the church rejected him.

NOBODY REJECTS ANYBODY
July 14, 1974 Sunday P.M. Ana.
The multitudes are snared by the fear of man. Rejection and ridicule often wipe out a basic hunger for God. Blessed is the man who is confident in his commission from God and is unmoved by the rejection by others.
