HE IS WHERE YOU LEFT HIM
August 13, 1978 Sunday A.M. Ana.
If you are not focused on Him you may journey on without Him and lose Him. If you’ve lost the Lord and that tenderness you once had to Him, go back to the place you left it.

August 13, 1978 Sunday A.M. Val.
The kings of Judah succeeded when they set their hearts to seek the Lord. The peril of criticism, bitterness, lust, greed, is greater to the heart that is not focused on the Lord.

July 29, 1978 Saturday A.M. Shiloh
This word like the message, “Are You Locked In?” unfolds the deadly peril of a bitter spirit. These two messages could have prevented most of the problems encountered in our spiritual warfare. This word also traces the effects of bitterness in the lives of the embittered and in the lives of those close to them. Bitterness immobilizes a believer like the sting of the hornet puts his prey in a state of suspended animation. This is a must. (57 1/2 min.)

Locked in? What did it? For how long? What is the key of release? The bitter, unforgiving spirit seems incapable of change for the good–locked in and inflexible for years, sometimes for life. “If you do not forgive, then your Father will not forgive…”-the only condition to the Lord’s Prayer. Listen to this word and ask yourself, “Have I arrested my own progress and defeated myself by my own spirit?” (46 min.)
