LIFTING THE CURSE

August 1, 1974 Thursday 1:00 P.M. Terrebonne, Oregon
Our experiences are not merely identifying with Christ’s experiences, but they are identical participating with Him in His experiences. We experience His cross. We participate in His sufferings.

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.)

At the end of the Church age the angels are sent to separate the sons of the Kingdom from the offensive and rebellious. This accelerated activity of both demons and angels precipitates the judgment of God on the Christian world.

This message follows the morning message inasmuch as it shows us how that Satan understood God’s plan for us to partake of the divine nature, and he perverts it in his temptation for us to “be as God.” The temptations Satan sets before us to defile God’s plan for us are depicted. (51 min.)

This is similar to the message “Many Sons, “Honolulu, Friday P.M. June 28, 1974. This is excellent teaching on the humanity of Christ and the limitations He assumed. The result is enabling us to assume His divine nature. We must become aware of the Christ nature in ourselves and in our brethren lest we relate to one another on a human plane. (60 min.)

The basic problem to our walk with God is the coexistence of the flesh nature and the new creation–spirit nature. They create a civil war within us which exhausts and depletes our inner resources and energies. The works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit are contrasted. (57 min.)
