THE MORE BLESSED ONES
September 2, 1979 Sunday Aft. Shiloh
Why is it more blessed to give than to receive?

A WORD ON AUTHORITY
November 19, 1978 Sunday P.M. SoG.
The whole purpose of submission to the Lord’s authority is for His authority to prevail in us and to ultimately flow through us. He must dominate us first so that Satan will be bruised under our feet. We submit not to be suppressed but to overcome. (9 1/2 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.)

THE DEDICATION-REVELATION
October 28, 1978 Saturday A.M. Ana.
When God brings a revelation word to a man he faces two alternatives. First, if he accepts the revelation he must become dedicated to walk in that revelation. The other alternative is his refusal to walk in his revelation and he automatically submits to a measure of deception. The cross is involved in dedication and the disciple “dies” upon the word he receives. Deception will also lead to a death but that is a total spiritual death. (31 1/2 min.)
Scriptures: | Heb. 11:13-16; (Matt. 11:30); (John 3:30); (Heb. 12:2) |

“YOU LOOK DIFFERENT NOW”
October 1, 1978 Sunday A.M. Ana.
Only you can shut the door on yourself. His provision still requires your appropriation. Gently and deeply the word searched and caused us to bow before Him anew and we were made new. (23 min.)

FREE BOND SERVANTS
July 4, 1978 Tuesday A.M. Ana.
This Living Word in no way harps on legalistic details of behavior. Because of the purity of the vision it brings forth a submission to a bond servant “bondage” which exceeds anything the most heavy-handed holiness preaching ever achieved. Rather than requiring forms or rules of discipleship the word is urging us to present our bodies a living sacrifice, to be genuinely concerned for the interests of the Lord. (31 1/2 min.)

HOW DO YOU HEAR?
July 5, 1978 Wednesday P.M. Ana.
How do you hear? In a burning bush? By a finger writing on the wall? From the mouth of a babe? By a dream? Or a vision? By a jackass standing in the way? (31 min.)

THE INVISIBLE SHIELD
December 12, 1974 Thursday A.M. Val.

December 4, 1974 Wednesday P.M. Ana.
In these days when the basis and standards of our society are shifting, look again to the Scriptures. With each relation ship comes responsibility. Responsibility always involves restrictions on your life. With the acceptance of another’s obligation to you comes both a freedom and a related bondage. Whether you contemplate marriage or not, this is the basic message to guide you. (55 min.)

The end-time ministry in the spirit of Elijah is explained in the opening exhortation on the Feast of Tabernacles.

SUBMIT AND REJECT
March 3, 1974 Sunday A.M. Val.
When we are totally submitted to the Lord we are unified there are not conflicting motivations, goals, or natures within us but we are a unified being, thinking, feeling, reacting perfectly with God. When submitted thus to God, Satan flees from us. (58 min.)

FOUR MORE STONES AND FOUR BROTHERS
March 6, 1974 Wednesday P.M. Ana.
This message is another exposition of James 4:1-10. It deals with truths of submission not covered by the message “Submit and Reject.” This deals with the aggressive faith that not only submits, but tenaciously submits in that submission and persists in submission. Another aspect of true submission. (58 min.)
