AGGRESSIVE FAITH FOR ONE ANOTHER
November 23, 1975 Sunday P.M. SoG.

DESTROY THE CHIEFS! THE BATTLES CEASE!
November 26, 1975 Wednesday P.M. Ana.

Caleb waited forty-five years to get at the heart of Israel’s unbelief in the wilderness. The Anakim were nephilim–demon possessed giants in fortified cities. Caleb chose that to conquer what had defeated God’s people the generation before. Only then the land had rest from war. When the principalities are judged, spiritual warfare ends. (59 min.)

WHEN LOVE TAKES OVER
November 30, 1975 Sunday P.M. SoG.

Human love is bankrupt! It cannot meet the need of the hour. Divine love has to take over. The Kingdom will come through the strong motivation of love in His sons. When God’s love controls us we will come into what God has destined for us. (59 min.)

“NOT ME AND MINE BUT WE AND OURS”
November 20, 1975 Thursday P.M. SoG.

Romans 12 is expounded as the Body of Christ collectively rather than the believer individually. The emphasis is on collective experiences of the Body rather than the experiences of the individual. (58 min.)

“DON’T CUT OFF OUR HAND”
November 22, 1975 Saturday A.M. Ana.

The Body of Christ, universally and locally, has its completeness, effectiveness, and unity because of the distinct and diverse ministry which each member of the Body has. To amputate a member because his ministry is unique and to insist on conformity of all the members is to cripple and destroy the Body of Christ. (58 min.)

Scriptures: I Cor. 12:11-27; Rom. 8:17; (Eph. 4:16)

FROM SELF-PRESERVATION TO BODY DEDICATION
November 13, 1975 Thursday A.M. Val.

These messages delivered in the Thursday morning meetings are really one message of the coming day of oneness in the Body. This first part of the message came Thursday A.M. Nov. 13, 1975. The second came Thursday A.M. November 20, 1975. (74 min.)
