Desire is never limited by God. Desire Him or anything else with all your heart only. Desire without responsibility becomes lust, or greed, or unlawful ambition. Lust is love without commitment. (55 min.)

THE BURDEN WE SHARE
January 7, 1978 Saturday A.M. Shiloh

May 22, 1976 Saturday A.M. Ana.
In the Kingdom we will shift from ownership to stewardship, from individuality to the Body, from being one person to the prevailing oneness with the Lord and with the Body. This oneness comes when our sense of possessiveness and privacy gives way to the steadfast oneness of the church in Acts 2-4. We move from being one person to the oneness of the Body. (58 min.)

How limited is the blessing upon those who seek personal answers or deliverance from a personal problem! How vast and unlimited are the promises and blessings upon those who seek the blessing of the Lord upon their brothers! How simple, yet how profound is this message.

WINNER OR LOSER?
December 1, 1974 Sunday P.M. SoG.
If we sense our stewardship now and are faithful to it, we will be ready to assume authority later. The steward is aware that he belongs to the Lord. The Lord is well aware that He possesses His servant and is responsible for him. The servant has the privileges and rights to all his master has. The only right he does not have is to himself.

Of all the principles which govern the body ministry there is none greater or more basic than the principle of unselfish dedication to your brother and his ministry.

SATAN’S EPITAPH

Acts 2 shows a fantastic oneness in the Church as a result of the baptism of the Spirit and fire. We see the rivalry and contention of the disciples end in an amazing time of sharing and communion together. Paul tells us that by one Spirit we are baptized into one Body. The tragedy today is the reception of the Holy Spirit without the fire that welds us into one Body in our actual relationship as His Church. (50 min.)
