THAT BLIND MAN WASN’T SO BLIND
October 22, 1978 Sunday P.M. SoG.

John, chapter 9, expounded here presents the observations of a blind man of the blindness of those with physical sight. The religious world is portrayed with its bigotry and blindness and inability to see what God is doing. Religion always argues against reality or crucifies it. Religion can’t stand God.

IN ALL THINGS MOST RELIGIOUS?
October 22, 1978 Sunday P.M. Ana.

Satan defends religions because they are a part of the fallen adamic nature. The religious instinct is a degenerated and depraved trace of man’s original capacity for worship. This word is a clear definition of what being religious means. (13 min.)

CONSCIENCE: DEAD OR ALIVE?
October 22, 1978 Sunday A.M. Val.

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. How Satan would inspire, in the name of religion, works that are dead and contributions to produce those works. “The Lord purge your conscience from dead works.” (42 min.)

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

Everything is evil that does not produce righteousness. The religious conscience strives often for works that do not produce righteousness. Religion is a ladder too short to reach God, but by the precious blood God lifts us to Himself. This is the sequel to the message titled “Conscience: Dead or Alive?” (30 min.)

RELIGION OR REVELATION, WHICH?

Out of Print

Release #: 78-10-14-01-R

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

October 14, 1978 Saturday A.M. Ana.

Ritual and tradition can become the greatest enemy of a revelation of God. Our observance of the feast based on revelation can create change. Religion can exist without revelation and without faith in God at all. Religion can be a cop-out for unbelief. Keep the feast with focus and revelation on the Lord, repentance, anticipation and gut level appropriation. (55 min.)

Scriptures: Acts 7:39-53; Eph. 1:15-19; Luke 18:9-14; Matt. 8:19-22; Luke 9:62; (Acts 20:24);(Isa. 29:8); (Luke 18:1-8);(Rom. 8:28); (I Cor. 5:8);
Topics: Revelation; Religiosity, Religiousness; Appropriation; Tradition; Change; Practice, Presence of the Lord; (Faith, Creative); (Repentance); (Ruts); (Disciple, Discipleship); (Anticipation); (Feast of Tabernacles)
