Why is it more blessed to give than to receive?

Into the Kingdom limp those whom God has met. They’re the ones who, like Jacob, have wrestled with God in the dark hours of their life. There is no password into the marriage supper of the Lamb but these words, “I have wrestled with God and He prevailed over me.” (3 1/2 min.)

AM I WILLING TO BE WILLING?
November 5, 1978 Sunday A.M. Val.

We have a revelation of what we are to be but we find ourselves unwilling to pay the price involved. We are apprehensive and we murmur rather than possess Canaan. The giants seem so tall when viewed in reluctant unbelief. Lord, make us willing, or make us willing to be willing. This is the sequel to, “We Repent For What We Are Not.” (40 min.)

DO I KNOW ME?
November 5, 1978 Sunday A.M. Ana.

A Laodicean does not know when he is naked or poor or miserable. He does not know what his spiritual state is and if he did know, it would take some zealous repenting to motivate him out of it. What is the answer? The Lord says, “I know you,” and He alone can reveal to you your own heart. (30 min.)

THE BEGINNING OF GIVING IS GIVING YOURSELF
July 2, 1978 Sunday A.M. Ana.

How can-we give without giving ourselves to the Lord? Does a gift have meaning without it involves a relationship between the giver and the receiver?

THE MACEDONIAN PARADOX
July 2, 1978 Sunday P.M. SoG.

The Macadonian paradox was that the poorest people were the greatest givers and that they gave more than they had. Giving can be a gift-grace in which God causes an abundance of time, energy, resources and finances to flow through a ministry of vision who believes for the will of God to come forth in the earth.

By apostolic exhortations from several we are warned to eliminate the stranglehold that unwise debts or demonic oppressions can bring to us.
