BASIC BALANCES AND CORRECT EMPHASIS–PART 6
August 12, 1979 Sunday 2:00 Aft. Shiloh

Underlying most of the great ministries in the Old and the New Testament there’s a spiritual process of impartation and appropriation. This word describes it simply and effectively from the experience of Timothy. (26 min.)

BASIC BALANCES AND CORRECT EMPHASIS–PART 7
August 12, 1979 Sunday P.M. Iowa

The emphasis of the Kingdom and its great authority involved is balanced with the minimizing of position. Finally we see an elder as another sheep, but with a shepherd’s heart, and we see that apostles were not a religious aristocracy but the Lord’s gift to His people. The devastation of God’s dealings deposes us from the illusionary position we thought we had but never existed. (39 1/2 min.)

ANXIOUS LONGING OR EARNEST EXPECTATION
July 29, 1979 Sunday A.M. Shiloh

We’re in the siege, but ours is not a frustration, but an “earnest expectation” of the deliverance from futility. Our prayers are not passive, but as aggressive as were Elijah’s when he prayed earnestly. The sovereignty of God and the earnest expectation of the believer combine to bring the spiritual breakthrough that the Lord has promised. (42 min.)

EARNEST REJECTION
July 29, 1979 Sunday A.M. Iowa

The counterpart of our earnest expectation of God’s promises being fulfilled is our earnest rejection of Satan’s assault of condemnation and unbelief. The faith that believes God is also our shield to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. (28 1/2 min.)

Release #: 79-07-25-04-R

This cassette tape contained the following message by John Robert Stevens.

July 22, 1979 Sunday A.M. Shiloh

The inner conflict of every believer is to overcome the sense of rejection which he carries with him into God’s Kingdom. All relationships, communications and the flow of the Word must come through channels that sense their acceptance in God through their faith in Christ’s atonement. From this follows their acceptance of one another as the children of the Heavenly Father. To reject yourself in His sight is to reject the veracity of His Word. (52 1/2 min.)

WHAT FIGHTS MY FAITH?
January 6, 1979 Saturday A.M. Ana.

John, chapter 9, expounded here presents the observations of a blind man of the blindness of those with physical sight.

This last night of the Feast of Tabernacles was a true day of rejoicing. Jesus’ relatives had no revelation of Him in John 7. In the Kingdom your closest brother in the flesh will not know you nor you know him until a common revelation comes. The rivers of living water come to those who believe and drink.

YOU CAN’T FOOL A RIGHT SPIRIT

May 28, 1978 Sunday A.M. Shiloh

We are ascending to the Pentecost of oneness and Psalm 133 is that Psalm of Ascents that speaks of that oneness. The basic problems of oneness in this word reveal our hearts.

THE BEGINNING OF GIVING IS GIVING YOURSELF
July 2, 1978 Sunday A.M. Ana.

How can-we give without giving ourselves to the Lord? Does a gift have meaning without it involves a relationship between the giver and the receiver? We give our all to the Lord and He pronounces us to be a treasured possession to Him. The text message is similar to Sunday evening in Washington, Iowa, 6-11-78, “A Basket at His Feet.” (36 min.)

THE MACEDONIAN PARADOX
July 2, 1978 Sunday P.M. SoG.

The Macadonian paradox was that the poorest people were the greatest givers and that they gave more than they had. Giving can be a gift-grace in which God causes an abundance of time, energy, resources and finances to flow through a ministry of vision who believes for the will of God to come forth in the earth.

I HAVE A QUESTION, LORD!
June 20, 1978 Tuesday A.M. Shiloh

It’s one thing to hear a word from the Lord; it’s quite another to live with it. It is also a problem to see His acts and not understand His reasons or His ways. Habakkuk had these problems and he brought them to the Lord. A good exposition of this minor prophet’s vision and message. (18 min.)

This cassette tape contained the following 2 messages by John Robert Stevens.

GRACE OR NOTHING AT ALL
June 25, 1978 Sunday A.M. Shiloh

Frequently the Holy Spirit emphasizes grace in the book of Galatians. This word and the one that follows, “Is It Legal,” liberates us again from the religious tendency to please God in the flesh. Again and again the word is made real. The change in us that is acceptable to God is by grace. Human disciplines and religious efforts are unacceptable to God. (32 1/2 min.)

Scriptures: Gal. 5:1-8,13-16; 6:14-16;(I Cor. 13:13); (Phil. 1:6); (John 3:6); (Phil. 2:12); (Acts 23:6); (Luke 3:9)

Rated: For Mature Sons, JRS Selected Messages

IS IT LEGAL?
June 25, 1978 Sunday P.M. Iowa

Legalism and legalistic religion are the efforts to do and become what God demands without His regeneration or creation. Most religion can be without grace or any real change. Every word from God we try to fulfill without faith becomes an empty form.Divine patterns can be without His presence, but a divine pattern with faith always has His presence. An exposition of Galatians, chapters 1 to 3. (34 1/2 min.)

THE DOOR OF ACCESS
May 28, 1978 Sunday P.M. Shiloh

Those who are spiritual sense the Lord’s invitation to the available and attainable fullness of the Lord and they open the door. They enter it and hold it open for others. The carnal Christian closes the door on himself and others; the spiritual believer is a door opener. (25 min.)

The factors of greatness in the Kingdom of God are outlined in this definitive teaching on discipleship. A disciple is one with the Lord and dedicated to bring others into that oneness with the Lord. He has a capacity to relate people to the Lord and not to himself. A disciple is not greater than his Lord but he believes to do greater works than He did and he believes that those who are taught by Him will also do greater works in turn than He has. If he is humble, he is honored with a double portion. (35 min.)

This is a good homey message to the family to help everyone in ministering. First we must have an opportunity, but we also need encouragement. Every member of the Body can do much to create for one another the opportunities to minister and we can certainly encourage every member of the Father’s family to move out. (23 1/2 min.)

THE HEAVENLY FATHER’S SEARCH
January 6, 1978 Friday A.M. Shiloh

How deep is the relationship between worship and intercession? Intercession becomes abortive instead of creative, it becomes defensive instead of authoritative when deep worship is missing. Worship puts intercession focus on the Lord and His Kingdom. Without worship intercession tends to focus on needs and tends to battle for victory without deep awareness of His perfect victory. Here is a basic essential apostolic word for the Kingdom now. (33 1/2 min.)

Two things exploded in this service. For a half hour the Lord broke our hearts with concern for His little ones; then the word errupted like a volcano in expository teaching of Colossians on the seer-wisdom and the elemental spirits’ defeat.

Exodus 12 remains the classic story of slaves who would quickly forget the grace of God that delivered them from the bitter days.

Here is a fresh illumination of the Passover story. How God took the oppressed and made them the oppressors, how slaves walked out clothed with the finery and jewels of the Egyptians. It’s good to be free. It’s good for ex-slaves to strut a little. This service was a minor riot. (40 min.)

This exposition of Galatians 5 is the finest distinction between legalism and appropriation grace to come forth. The School of Prophets demanded it to be “four star” for it delineates the exact line between Pharisaic religious discipline of the flesh and the dedicated spiritual discipline of spiritual sons in their divine transformation.

CAIN’S WAY
May 23, 1976 Sunday A.M. Val.

Cain, Korah and Baalam–these three represent the basic end-time sin. Their sin is in their relationship to God and to His people and this word explains these sins that are behind the withdrawal and the building of walls in the Body. Here is another excellent word on our relationships.

THE PASSOVER AFTER THE CROSSOVER–I
May 2, 1976 Sunday A.M. Val.

Most timely is this message for us as we anticipate the fulfillment of promises and the possession of all God has set before US. Here is the Joshua 5 story of a Passover for a people with hearts circumcised. Everything was changing in the transition from wilderness land to Beulah land. Then a new revelation of the “general” of the army was expedient. The first message, from the Valley, is probably more complete but the second version from Anaheim is included because of the vein of humor and different approach to the same basic word. Indeed, you will enjoy listening to both. This word may be emphasized and amplified in the immediate days ahead.

“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.)
