As the Lord brings the sheep out of Babylon He gives them shepherds after His own heart.

When God spoke on Mt. Sinai the mountain trembled and man had revealed to him both the righteous demands of God and man’s inability to meet them. When God spoke peace at Mt.

Three great truths emphasized here: 1. Contentment is an expression of your spirit of trust in God in spite of current circumstances. 2.

Every meeting with God at every level of our experience is attended with joy, His joy. When we serve the Lord dutifully but without joy, there is something clouding our relationship and walk with God.

The principle of transference is basic to everything we are or become and to every ministry we perform. What God is and knows He transfers to us and we in turn transfer that to others.

Here we have the best basic teaching on the principle of transference in the Scriptures, and how God uses it for all He works in us, and Satan uses it for all his oppressions to us.

FULLNESS IS MEASURED BY THE OVERFLOW

Release #: 75-01-25-01-R
This cassette tape contained the following message by John Robert Stevens.
January 18, 1975 Saturday A.M. S.D.
An experience is not necessarily fullness. We must drink of the Spirit until we overflow. The ministry to the world will be the rivers of living water that flow from the innermost being of the “filled ones”. This was the service at Coniah Chapel which saw such a deep drinking of the Spirit and ministry to the ministries of the church. The message was similar to the message, “Keep Coming! Keep Drinking” Jan. 16, 1975 at Grace Chapel. (47 min.)

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.

We need frequently to renew our focus on the Lord and to sharpen our awareness of His presence. To do this is to walk with God. We learn to “live” with Him. Learn to live where God is. YOU can have a “meeting with God” all the time. You can break through to Him any time, any place. Live close! Most of the questions and murmurings come when you “follow afar off.” (47 min.)

As the gospel of the Kingdom is proclaimed more clearly, the hearers are challenged with the demands of discipleship. Can the Lord be first always? Can we seek first His Kingdom? Are we loyal or dedicated to anyone or anything more than to the Lord and His Word and to our proclaiming that Word?

This is in reality the School of Prophets in action. The prophecies and psalms of “beginners” lasted for forty-five minutes. Most of these have been deleted but the directives and exhortations of Brother Stevens during this period are preserved on the tape. This session will give impetus to many young prophets and prophetesses to move out in God in the Spirit. These Scriptures reveal the protection and immunity that God is giving to His remnant. They are not only immune themselves to the deadly assault of the enemy and to the judgments of God on the whole earth, but they are also ministers of immunity. The key to all this is that they are moving, acting in faith. (55 min.)

IDENTIFICATION AND TRANSFERENCE
October 26, 1974 Saturday A.M. Hono.
Christ identified with us and died for our sins. We died with Him that we might live for Him-as His love-slaves. If our sins were transferred to Him, then His righteousness is transferred to us! Yes, even His nature is transferred to us! He is coming forth in us–the manifestation of the Son in many sons. Become the righteousness of God! Sonship can be our possession. This is excellent teaching for the Walk now.

RECONCILED TO GOD
October 26, 1974 Saturday Aft. Hono.
It is not what we are in the flesh, it is what we are becoming in Christ. It is important that a believer sees himself–as well as his brother and sister–as a son of God. If he has this image of himself and his brother, he can anticipate and claim the flow from God into his very being and through himself to others. This is what transference is all about.

SODOM REPEATED
September 26, 1974 Thursday A.M. Val.
Among several examples given in the book of Jude of moral depravity and subsequent judgments, the judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah is sighted in Jude and identified by our Lord as being typical of these days. We contend for the pure faith and the pure righteousness, but we must understand the defiling nature of the Sodom conditions about us. In its frankness perhaps this message should be rated X.

More faith is required of you as you progress than is required of you when you begin. A little faith is required to flee Egypt but much is required as you follow the cloud in the wilderness. There the unbelieving perish. In the message you note that fear prompts you to take matters in your own hands, to leave the realm of trust and enter the disaster area of presumption. (24 min.)

October 20, 1974 Sunday A.M. Val.
As God plunges us into deeper waters, the divine flow of the gifts and ministries must also be deeper. So we pursue after His perfect love lest we “move mountains,” but we ourselves are nothing. Hence more love is the key to the divine transference flow.

To walk with God on a higher level we must move into a deeper level of His love. The problem facing the Walk in every church is that yesterday’s spiritual levels are not adequate to meet the force of today’s spiritual battles.

The Day of Atonement has deep spiritual significance for us as it heralds the removal of sin and demonic oppression in the days of the Kingdom. The Passover speaks of personal salvation.

“ALL MY SINS ARE TAKEN AWAY”
September 26, 1974 Thursday P.M. SoG.
Yes, God made the provision by the blood of His Son to remove our sin from us as far as the East is from the West.

A man of God is placed in jeopardy when he allows the pressure of people to cause him to divert or alter to some degree the word which God has given him.

Our soulish motivations and instincts are being put to the cross. The result is a deep sense of futility and a loss in the drive and will to live.

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.)

The ministries of Ephesians 4:11 are given to bring the believer from his unstable, immature state into a submissive relationship in Christ and the other members of the Body. God purposes to deliver him from the futility of mind that governs man and bring him into a renewed mind and relationship to the Lord.

If we realistically face the provision of the Scriptures and the extensive provision God has made for our every need, we must recognize our deep-rooted unbelief.

The objective: “to be what He wants in me.” Grab for what He had in mind for you when He laid hold on you!

“IT’S THE TIME!”
July 31, 1974 Wednesday P.M. Terrebonne, Oregon
We are deeper into the days of His Kingdom than even we ourselves realize. It is the time to claim His manifestation to all creation through us. We can believe to see Satan crushed under our feet. It is time to enter into these things. (88 min.)
ILLUSION OR REVELATION?
August 1, 1974 Thursday 7:30 P.M. Terrebonne, Oregon
Satan and the world create illusions and images. His deception of the church depends upon this. Here is where the undiscerning fall. The victorious remnant will not be deceived by appearances but will have a revelation word. (88 min.)

August 3, 1974 Saturday A.M. Ana.
(This message is similar to “Illusion or Revelation,” Terrebonne Conference. But this message is clearer.) This word is a guideline of what to expect in the illusions and the false images Satan will produce at this time. In contrast, the Kingdom is not coming with signs to be observed. Thus we see the Kingdom by revelation, not by sight. (47 min.)

THE ANGELS VERSUS THE DEMONS
July 21, 1974 Sunday A.M. Ana.

To believe for God to burn out all imperfection, chaff, and to bring forth the body without spot or wrinkle is very difficult to believe.
