April 21, 1979 Saturday A.M. Ana.
The word reveals the reasons for God’s devastating us and also reveals His methods of maturing. The apostolic word clarifies the processes and points out the ultimate purpose of the process of devastation. This is the clearest word, a pure panoramic view and many months of the processes and purposes of God to bring forth mature sonship. This word gives emphasis to all the Passover messages and establishes their relevancy. The current Living Word has no reasonable human explanation but gives comprehension by revelation of the processes and procedures in the manifestation of the sons of God. If God imprisons an apostle it is to wean you unto Himself. (56 min.)

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.

You must come to accept yourself as a bond servant of Jesus Christ; with all of your needs and all of your problems you belong to Him, and you accept Him as absolute Lord over your life. That acceptance is basic. Then you accept what He says about you. You cannot honor Him as Lord and refuse the prophecies that are over you. You start on a basis of absolute nothingness and give it to the Lord, and then He begins to bless you and create Himself in you. (53 min.)
