We’re coming out!

This cassette tape contained the following message by John Robert Stevens.
September 14, 1974 Saturday A.M. Ana.
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 is the living water that satisfies and we’ll never thirst again. (57 min.)

August 31, 1974 Saturday A.M. Ana.
It is easy to believe in the goals and objectives that God sets before us, but it is difficult to sustain a dedication to the means that God uses to bring these goals to pass. The discipline and scourging of sons has this objective–to be a partaker of His holiness. Son, when He scourges you say, “I needed that!” (54 min.)

SUBMIT AND SUBDUE
August 4, 1974 Sunday A.M. Val.
If we are to prevail over the power of the enemy and attain immunity to his assaults, we must exercise the unlimited authority of Christ’s name.

PROGENITORS OF THE NEW AGE #1
August 25, 1974 Sunday A.M. Val.
The agents of Satan and of God generate perspectively the forces of evil and of good. The end of the age sees all of the forces of evil dumped into the refuse heap of the universe prepared for Satan and his angels. The coming Kingdom will be brought forth by the creative, generative forces of the sons of God. They will walk in the works before ordained for them.

This cassette tape contained the following message by John Robert Stevens.
August 24, 1974 Saturday A.M. Ana.
When Satan overwhelms with a spirit of futility, suicide often seems preferable. True faith refuses the world’s best and chooses the walk with God. Discouraging appearances do not detract from trust in God’s word. (57 min.)

THE MAGNIFICENT MEEK
August 18, 1974 Sunday A.M. Val.
Though limited as we are on the human level, our Lord walked in perfect authority over all things. The secret was this: He didn’t strive to be God but became a totally submissive man. Is this not the secret also of the sons of God who will have authority over futility?

FROM FUTILITY TO MATURITY
August 18, 1974 Sunday A.M. Ana.
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 delivers him from the world of illusion and false images and brings him into His world of exposure and truth seen through the level of love and revelation.

God imposed futility upon man and creation alike until the hour that the sons of God would bring the release.
