The last night of the Feast of Passover and Unleavened Bread concluded in the same vein of joyous victorious rejoicing that occurred on the night previous. There was such a possession of victory and a deep certainty of impending miracles of intervention that Christ our Passover Lamb became all things to all of us. (38 min.)

A SIMPLE FORMULA TO GREAT FAITH
April 1, 1979 Sunday A.M. Val.
What was that great faith that exceeded anything our Lord had seen in Israel? What was the faith so great that at an instant a miracle appeared in a distant place? It took a Gentile soldier to understand that submission to Christ was the key to miracle faith. (41 min.)

WHEN YOU HAVE A SLEEPING CHRIST

This message continues the exposition of Matthew 8 and unfolds again the faith in the authority of His word. His provision is perfect presently and permanently available.

It is easy to accept bondage because bondage does not require a spiritual perception or revelation. The only requirement of a slave is the drudgery of laborious obedience. In bondage no issues are resolved, no decisions are made. With freedom comes a responsibility to choose, to learn, to strive for his freedom and to attain his greatest potentials as a free person. The earnest prayers of the free are often greater than the cries of the oppressed. (48 min.)

John, chapter 9, expounded here presents the observations of a blind man of the blindness of those with physical sight.

October 22, 1978 Sunday A.M. Val.
Did you realize that the religious conscience we have is a degenerate, depraved thing in the adamic nature,the atrophied capacity for worship that existed before the fall. How Satan would inspire, in the name of religion, works that are dead and contributions to produce those works. “The Lord purge your conscience from dead works.” (42 min.)

THERE WAS NO RELIGION IN EDEN
October 22, 1978 Sunday A.M. Ana.
Everything is evil that does not produce righteousness. The religious conscience strives often for works that do not produce righteousness.

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.)

GRACE OR NOTHING AT ALL
June 25, 1978 Sunday A.M. Shiloh
Frequently the Holy Spirit emphasizes grace in the book of Galatians. This word and the one that follows, “Is It Legal,” liberates us again from the religious tendency to please God in the flesh. Again and again the word is made real. The change in us that is acceptable to God is by grace. Human disciplines and religious efforts are unacceptable to God. (32 1/2 min.)

IS IT LEGAL?
June 25, 1978 Sunday P.M. Iowa
Legalism and legalistic religion are the efforts to do and become what God demands without His regeneration or creation. Most religion can be without grace or any real change. Every word from God we try to fulfill without faith becomes an empty form.Divine patterns can be without His presence, but a divine pattern with faith always has His presence. An exposition of Galatians, chapters 1 to 3. (34 1/2 min.)

The word is a keynote to the gospel of the glory, and is related to the coming glory of the church in Romans 8 and John 17. It expounds II Corinthians 3:4 with the apostolic revelation. Here is the important key to the gospel of the Kingdom and the present evangelism of the nations. The word is simple, and we could ask for more detailed instruction, but the keynote and heart of our glorification is set forth. You must listen to it often. (48 min.)

This exposition of Galatians 5 is the finest distinction between legalism and appropriation grace to come forth. The School of Prophets demanded it to be “four star” for it delineates the exact line between Pharisaic religious discipline of the flesh and the dedicated spiritual discipline of spiritual sons in their divine transformation. Religious flesh can only produce flesh. God begets sons of God. Hogs beget pigs. The School of Prophets must avoid legalism. (66 1/2 min.)
