November 4, 1978 Saturday A.M. Ana.
Interlocked in the true definition of sonship is first the revelation of ourselves with the responsibility that is involved. As we sense our involvement and our commission we will despair from ever attaining that level of discipleship and we repent for what we have not yet attained as His sons. On this new level we repent more that we are not saints than we repent that we are sinners. (53 1/2 min.)

Did you realize that the religious conscience we have is a degenerate, depraved thing in the adamic nature,the atrophied capacity for worship that existed before the fall.

THERE WAS NO RELIGION IN EDEN
October 22, 1978 Sunday A.M. Ana.

DON’T READ IT, EAT IT!
October 18, 1978 Wednesday P.M. Val.
The word is always the great issue. The battle is not with the circumstances or relationships or problems or weaknesses you face; the battle is with the word and your focus upon it. Don’t merely read it; eat it. Don’t be an explainer of the word; be an oracle of the word. It’s not our opinions or sermons but the predigested word coming forth. (32 min.)

October 19, 1978 Thursday P.M. Ana.
There are many problems to our oneness because every relationship in the Kingdom differs. These differences pose a problem to perfect unity and the performance of the perfect will of God. We must be dedicated and submissive in order to perfectly relate to one another. Only a supreme dedication can surmount the perils in a relationship that is unequal. The answer, of course, is a love that is great enough that it is dedicated. (60 min.)

THE SEARCH FOR THE LAST SPOT
October 15, 1978 Sunday A.M. Val.
The worst form of bondage is thelittle bondages or limitations that you don’t perceive that you have. These are the little foxes, the spots and wrinkles the Bride must remove. The worst deception is that we are unaware of what we have from God or we would reach for a greater revelation of Him and of those limitations we are unaware of. These terms are contradictory: an honest liar, a wise fool,an off-white robe of righteousness. (33 1/2 min.)

SILVER TUREEN OR CHAMBER POT?
October 15, 1978 Sunday A.M. Ana.
Each day of the feast required less sacrifices than the day before, for each day their need of purifying diminished. By the day of rejoicing they were ready to press into new levels of service. We are rejoicing in what He has done in us, but we weep before Him that we might rejoice even more. This feast our tears are the meat sandwich between the layers of bread of rejoicing. These tears determine whether we will be vessels of honor or dishonor. (36 min.)

LIVE ALIVE!!!
October 1, 1978 Sunday P.M. Val.
The awareness of the present, and of all God has given us, and of all the bonds and relationships that we have in Him now is a key to a present living instead of an unfulfilling hope that begs at the gates of the future. Say, “I am blessed.” Don’t say, with misery, “I hope to be blessed.” Drink deeply, with sensitivity of the heady wine cup of today’s people. The Kingdom is a now thing. If you lose the blessings of today’s relationships you will not have the capacity for tomorrow’s fulfillments. Love and enjoy your child today; tomorrow’s joyful memories are based on a diligence to seize moment by moment fulfillments of your faith and love. The exploits and greater works will all be done in a time called today. They will never be in the life of the dreamer who passively withdraws from the exertions of faith today, doing it and believing it now. (24 min.)

TO A VALLEY HIGHER THAN A MOUNTAIN!!
September 10, 1978 Sunday A.M. Shiloh
We are learning that the mountain top of experiences and revelation are followed by the valleys of greater works. We move down, but we are actually moving up into the realm of greater works. When will we learn that the great breakthroughs are followed by vicious warfare. Peaks of revelation are followed by humble dedication and service. Thus the valley is higher than the mountain.
