January 13, 1982 Wednesday P.M. No. H.
Though God may deliver us from the oppressions of the enemy, He must also deliver us from our habitual responses to living in the jungle warfare. Reactions and responses can be a conditioned habit that is harmful to those who love us and stand with us. Instead, we will say to those who have suffered for us, “Thank you, now we will heal you–and you will have no scars from the conflicts we have shared.” (47 min.)

THE PIERCED HEARTS
May 12, 1979 Saturday 9:15 P.M. L.W. Bldg.
Among the 120 gathered for the day of Pentecost was Mary, the mother of the Lord. She was typical of many today who have followed the Lord saying as Mary, “Be it done unto me according to Thy Word.” The prophet said, “A sword shall pierce your own heart” and so we experience the devastation of the cross before the baptism of the Spirit.

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.)

October 9, 1976 Saturday P.M. Ana.
Religious flesh tries to produce what God requires but only brings forth a facsimile, a phony, human image of the righteous, spiritual being that God creates of us. There are so many wrong responses our flesh can produce to God’s demands.

THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE OR THE LAW OF THE KING
December 29, 1974 Sunday A.M. Val.
The Kingdom of God is based on principles and laws which seem to be most impractical to human thinking. We cannot obey these principles nor live by them until first we have been changed from the human level to the divine spiritual nature. You cannot do God’s will perfectly until first you have His nature.

The Love of God has to come to us, as well as His Joy. Don’t bear down on one another’s burden. The rain comes and rejoicing follows. Draw on the latter rain! There has to be a pre-determined attitude toward what we go through. “I’m going to have joy in the beginning and end of what I go through.” Say, “Deliver me from being a crab!” Everything is in a state of change.
