THE MALE SPIRIT
February 12, 1982 Friday A.M. No. H.

HIS COMMISSION IS WITH AUTHORITY
March 8, 1980 Saturday Aft. Haiku
We witness a whole release in relationships and attitudes because there is a greater manifestation and recognition of authority. Many of the sisters without position are finding that a commission gives them the authority and functioning in the will of God. Submissive faith can be very aggressive. Note: nearly three hours of apostolic commissioning completes this session. These commissionings are available only to the Island shepherds and churches. (29 min.)

CHRIST’S TRAVAIL
October 29, 1977 Saturday P.M. Shiloh
During Adam’s deep sleep, God took a rib and made a woman. Christ in a deeper sleep and a spear in His side created His Bride by His shed blood. It is by the death and work of the cross with heavy travail that husbands give birth to Kingdom wives. Wives in their deep need precipitate the husband’s agony and travail by which the husbands produce a Kingdom marriage. The Kingdom wife calls her husband, lord, and as he ministers to her she becomes fruitful, young, without spot or wrinkle. (34 min.)

WHY THIS MT. MORIAH TRIP?
November 11, 1977 Friday P.M. Iowa
When God’s gifts tend to become an idol, God requires the sacrifice of them. When your ministry tends to become a kingdom, God requires the sacrifice of it. When a Godgiven relationship becomes idolatrous or out of order, God requires it in sacrifice. We’re tested by delay first. We are tested by the distraction of His fulfillment second. This word is the key to our transition from a local church kingdom to the churches of His Kingdom. This puts everything in the proper perspective. (37 min.)

April 4, 1977 Monday P.M. Ana.
My creed: anything the Lord gives me, I will give to others. Anything He teaches me I will teach to others. Any ability He imparts, I will impart. I will have won my race when a thousand sons outstrip me. I will be translated to a higher realm when I can give a son a double portion of all that I have from God. I am more blessed in giving than receiving. I will not compete with my brother. I will allow no personal objective of mine to compete with God’s objective for me. I will always seek first His Kingdom. I repent of the sinfulness of a competitive spirit. (51 1/2 min.)

THE KINGDOM MOTHER
May 12, 1974 Sunday A.M. SoG.
The Kingdom mother in many ways is no different than any mother in any age or culture. There are, however, ways in which she differs. She must receive help and ministry to be the mother she envisions and to see her children walk with God as she believes that they will. The message preached in the Valley church was direct with impact. The message in South Gate was almost identical in content but very tender and emotional.

This message came on Mother’s Day, but it was a message of faith and hope to the mothers who were defeated and unworthy but who still yearned for the blessing of the Lord upon their children. What a hope for those who have no basis to claim anything from God. An allusion is made to Hagar in Genesis 16, 17, and 21. The Scriptural basis rests on the Canaanite woman of Matt. 15:22-28. (57 min.)
