DIGGING FOR OUR DEEP ROOTS
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. It must be listened to very carefully for it reveals the unrealized depth that the root of a wrong spirit can reach. It holds before us also the goal of attaining that deep root of a right and willing spirit. (44 min.)

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.

DON’T LET THAT THING FESTER!
April 5, 1979 Thursday P.M. L.W. Bldg.

Resentment and bitterness grows every day that it is not checked and dealt with. A heart closes when an experience is interpreted with unbelief or rebellion. But faith opens the door for every word and every experience also to grow. How blessed is the forgiveness that prevents the growth of bitterness. We ultimately become the product of the things that have festered. (29 min.)

THE THINGS THAT FESTER
April 5, 1979 Thursday P.M. L.W. Bldg.

Malice and unbelief are a leaven that soon pervades over the whole of the being. If the thorns grow they will choke out the word. If we meditate on the word as Joshua we prevail over enemy and nature. (22 min.)

WHAT IS HE WORTH?
November 12, 1978 Sunday A.M. Val.

When you want to count the cost, it’s too much to pay. When the treasure hid in the field is revealed, no price is too great. We are committing ourselves to the big “yes” before we know what the question will be. We rejoice in the treasure until its price is of no consequence. (36 min.)

OUR CROSS IS THE COST
November 12, 1978 Sunday A.M. Ana.

The cross of Christ was for us. We share His cross for others. The crucified life is an involved, dedicated walk in the Body. We have to be dead a lot to live a little. (34 min.)
