THE PASSOVER AFTER THE CROSSOVER–I
May 2, 1976 Sunday A.M. Val.

Most timely is this message for us as we anticipate the fulfillment of promises and the possession of all God has set before US. Here is the Joshua 5 story of a Passover for a people with hearts circumcised. Everything was changing in the transition from wilderness land to Beulah land. Then a new revelation of the “general” of the army was expedient. The first message, from the Valley, is probably more complete but the second version from Anaheim is included because of the vein of humor and different approach to the same basic word. Indeed, you will enjoy listening to both. This word may be emphasized and amplified in the immediate days ahead.

Scriptures: Josh. 5:2-3,7-14; (Heb. 12:6)
Topics: Relationship, with the Lord; Circumcision; Walk; Passover; Change; Lordship; (Babylon); (Obedience); (Appropriation)

HERE’S TO FLAT WALLS

Live again the story of Paul’s first ministry to Corinth. Understand how he felt and his motivations. Find in your heart the same dedication to speak God’s word with power and to create in the listener something that is not shallow or temporary. How foolish is the world’s wisdom.

THE SEASONS OF REFRESHING
August 17, 1975 Sunday P.M. SoG.

Satan seeks to “wear out the saints,” and they have never known such great demands upon their time and strength. While Satan would drain you of your life if possible, the Lord can “renew your youth.” We need these “times of refreshing.”

“LORD, MAKE ME A RIVER”
May 18, 1975 Sunday P.M. SoG.

John, in the Gospel and in Revelation, alludes to our drinking the living water and becoming ourselves a source of rivers of living waters. This message is both an exposition of John 4 and a prophetic revelation of the coming outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

“LORD, THY WORD CREATES ME”
May 18, 1975 Sunday P.M. Val.

Genesis 1:1-5 tells us that the Spirit of God hovered over the formless waste of the earth. Then God spoke and the miracle of creation came forth. The miracle of Pentecost is like that also, as God’s Spirit hovers over the void of men’s lives and a word from God creates a miracle. In the tape is also some of the worship of the final service of the Feast of Pentecost.

NO CRUTCHES (THE APOSTOLIC COMPANY VISITS REDLANDS)
January 7, 1975 Tuesday P.M. Redlands

Our walk with God is dependent wholly upon our acceptance of what God says about us. We dare not believe in ourselves or that the human level is adequate to perform God’s will. We trust completely in His enablement. No crutches for self-confidence allowed in a walk with God. This service in the Redlands New Testament Church stresses the vision for that area and for the minority groups there.

Scriptures: II Cor. 3:5-6; Phil. 3:3

HE SAID IT, I BECAME IT
January 8, 1975 Wednesday P.M. Ana.

I must accept myself as the person that God declares me to be and that I can do in Him all His Word commissions me to do and that I am to the Body of Christ all that He identifies me to be. I am in the flesh nothing, but in Him I am complete. His Word over me is the sole basis of my confidence, of all my relationships and abilities.

December 26, 1974 Thursday P.M. Seattle

Here is a clear picture of walking with God in the Kingdom. First we must be aware of Him, to come to know Him and His ways. We must know His principles and precepts and have them in our spirits!

Release #: 74-12-25-05-R

This cassette tape contained the following message by John Robert Stevens.

December 16, 1974 Monday P.M. Iowa

God receives the glory in all He commissions us to do, for our human capabilities and qualifications humanly appraised are most inadequate! This fact is the marvel to those who observe us, but it is the test of our faith, for we must believe that our human “limitations” will in no way limit the Lord in performing all His will through us! This message encourages and challenges everyone of God’s elect, whose exploits have always disturbed the Pharisees. (50 min.)

This cassette tape contained the following message by John Robert Stevens.

November 30, 1974 Saturday P.M. SoG.

The emphasis in the Gospels is on the effective ministry and works of Christ. He said, “The Father works unceasingly and so do I.” The reality of the School of Prophets is in their doing the will of God. Unless we have an explosion into anointed spirit-directed labor, there will be a lot of judgment. We have received so much–so much is now required of us. (50 min.)

October 8, 1974 Tuesday A.M. Ana.

The problems of the sons of the prophets today are similar to the problems of the prophets in Elisha’s day. There was miracle deliverance over problems of family, famine, and finances. In addition to these we see in these stories the problem of a pure word, the problem of inadequate provision, and the problem of adverse circumstances. (56 min.)

As we come to a new spiritual level the battles and problems will exceed the faith of some. As fear predominates, the walk with God will turn into a torment of hell. (58 min.)

WORK OF FAITH AND LABOR OF LOVE–I THESSALONIANS 1:3
September 7, 1974 Saturday A.M. Ana.

This message was unique for the Anaheim Church and it appeared that it was for this church alone. It dealt with the necessary discipline to work faithfully, It was not just a call to fill a labor shortage in the Walk. Dedicated labor is a part of our dedication to the perfect will of God. Although this message was for the Anaheim Church it may be a message that would apply to other churches where a dedication to “work” for the Kingdom is lacking. (58 min.)

TITUS, PUT THEM TO WORK
September 8, 1974 Sunday P.M. SoG.

The epistle to Titus teaches definitely that we are saved by the grace of God, not by works. However, the work in sending forth the Word had to be the dedication of the ministries then as now. The world will be reached by a Living Word sent forth by living works. (58 min.)

REJECTION IS A “NO NO”
July 14, 1974 Sunday P.M. SoG.

How many have said, “I am hungry for more of God,” but the fear of being rejected wipes out the hunger. You must believe in your divine commission and be faithful to fulfill it as the Apostle Paul was even though the world and sometimes much of the church rejected him.

Scriptures: Isa. 53:2-3; John 15:18-25; Gal. 4:13-17; Phil. 1:12-19

NOBODY REJECTS ANYBODY
July 14, 1974 Sunday P.M. Ana.

The multitudes are snared by the fear of man. Rejection and ridicule often wipe out a basic hunger for God. Blessed is the man who is confident in his commission from God and is unmoved by the rejection by others.

When we are aware only of the present with its problems, pressures and pleasures, we are susceptible to temptation and bitterness. When we see the big picture–God’s blessings and dealings past, and God’s promises future–we tend to live the present in conformity to His will. The present difficulties impress us for less.
