MEET WITH GOD! / SAVED TO SERVE

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

MEET WITH GOD!
May 2, 1975 Friday P.M. Val.

When a church has services filled with prophecies, psalms, singing in the Spirit, prophetic prayers, etc., it becomes easy to sink into a mechanical manifestation that does not convey a living presence of the Lord to all present. In the final analysis people are not drawn into the Walk by our prophecies and our singing in the Spirit but rather because they sense the presence of the Lord. (59 min.)

Scriptures: Matt. 22:37-39; Heb. 10:20,25; I Cor. 13:1-2; 14:23-25; Hosea 6:3; Dan. 11:32
Topics: Focus; Parousia, Presence of the Lord; Channel; Awareness; Renewal; Lordship
Series: On To Pentecost; “Sirs, We Would See Jesus”
Rated: Foundational Teaching, JRS Selected Messages

SAVED TO SERVE
May 1, 1975 Thursday A.M. Val.

Here, as elsewhere in the New Testament, the apostolic emphasis is upon: 1) the grace of God which brings salvation apart from meri torious works on our part, and 2) that this grace bestowed upon us results in fruitful and spiritual works upon our part. Thus we are saved to serve. (59 min.)

Scriptures: Titus 2:11-15; 3:1-8,14-15; II Sam. 11:1; Eph. 2:8-10; Eph. 5:16; I Cor. 15:10; Heb. 11:6; Matt. 6:33

THE LIVING WORD–THE DECEIVER REVEALED
May 4, 1975 Sunday A.M. Val. / Ana.

We are entering into a time where the seat of Satan will be uncovered and dealt with. We are the instruments chosen to change the age. As we focus on the Lord we will see the enemy defeated.

Topics: Focus; Judgment, Satan; Nephilim; Instruments; Initiative; Warfare

MOVE, MOUNTAIN, MOVE!
May 4, 1975 Sunday A.M. Val.

Prophecy must be the vehicle by which God speaks and moves. Prophesying must be with such a concentration of love and faith that the presence and power of the Lord is conveyed in it. When you have faith that is focused upon the Lord then you can talk to your mountain and say, “Move, Mountain, Move!”

Scriptures: Matt. 21:18-22; 17:14-21; I Thess. 5:20-21; Rom. 12:6; I Cor. 14:1; Zech. 4:7; I Cor. 13:1

RATTLE, BONES, RATTLE!
May 4, 1975 Sunday A.M. Ana.

When prophecy or any manifestation of the Holy Spirit comes in the service the people should feel, “God is here at my side and He is speaking to me.” The miracle of the resurrection of bones comes when the prophetic word is filled with God. We must speak as the oracles of God. The mechanics of spiritual gifts are nothing without the manifestation of His presence and power.

Scriptures: Ezek. 37:1-14; I Cor. 14:1; 13:1; Rom. 12:6; (Zech. 4:10); (Isa. 41:14 15); (Heb. 11:3); (Prov. 18:21)

NEED HIS BLESSING? GET BUSY!
April 13, 1975 Sunday A.M. Val.

Hebrews 10 speaks of God’s provision for our complete perfection, but we do not want to learn of perfection if we cannot become perfect.

NO DISCHARGE IN THIS WARFARE
April 13, 1975 Sunday P.M. SoG.

The theme of Galatians is salvation based on the grace of God, not on legalistic works. However, the last chapter emphasizes our careful pursuit of the labor and the warfare He gives us. Walking with God is like marriage. You don’t get any time off for good behavior. (54 min.)
