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.

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.)

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.)

TORMENT OR PERFECT LOVE?
April 13, 1978 Thursday A.M. Shiloh
When our love is mingled with fear, we have torment, but when we we are perfected in love, fear is cast out.

From the historical background of the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem comes the amazing ministry of Eliakim. All of this portrayed the door-opener ministry in these days, the door that no man can shut. God is driving us like a peg in a firm place upon which the Kingdom can hang. (38 1/2 min.)

The course every man of God experiences is a promise of God for a walk with Him, a divine blow that breaks your legs and then the healing so you can walk.

May 28, 1975 Wednesday P.M. Ana.
Is it difficult for you to adjust to what God has said or to accept what He has done? Here are Bible examples of the adjustment we have to what God is saying. What a shock this resurrection life–this manifestation of His sons will be. This word is most timely for the miracle-change that we are in.

Three great truths emphasized here: 1. Contentment is an expression of your spirit of trust in God in spite of current circumstances. 2. Discontent is a focus on circumstances, interpreting them by the fears and lies of Satan. 3. The believer who is also a giver has the promise of being a receiver of the supply of all his needs.
