DON’T THINK ABOUT IT
April 10, 1977 Sunday A.M. Val.
Don’t think about Egypt. Think of the land with milk and honey. Focus on the joy that is set before you. The work of the cross is best accomplished by not dwelling upon it. Through the deep dealings of God keep thinking about the milk and honey to come. (27 1/2 min.)

THOROUGHLY AND QUICKLY
April 9, 1977 Saturday A.M. Ana.
Repeatedly throughout the Scriptures we see the Passover as a liberation and a thrust into a new dimension that God brings to pass “thoroughly and quickly.” You cannot listen to this word and not listen to it repeatedly. It is a launching pad into the promises that are exploded and detonated. The word will be a “now” happening. (27 1/2 min.)

FORGIVE GOD–THE SIN WAS YOURS!!
April 10, 1977 Sunday P.M. SoG.
When God brought Israel out of Egypt, He required that they love Him with all their heart, but they were bitter and murmured. Bitterness indicates we do not love Him enough. If we love Him with all our heart “He makes all things work together for our good,” and He reveals the fabulous things beyond comprehension that “He hath prepared for them that love Him.” (28 min.)

CONQUERORS ARE ALWAYS HUNGRY
April 10, 1977 Sunday P.M. Ana.

THIS NIGHT IS FOR THE LORD
April 7, 1977 Thursday A.M. Ana.
The emphasis of Passover is usually on what we do, whereas God says it is His night. We prepare our hearts and we must be ready, but the miracle is God’s. We break up the fallow ground but He sends the rain. This is the time that God does His thing. (25 min.)

April 3, 1977 Sunday P.M. SoG.
The prelude to the greatest miracle of the Old Testament, the Passover and Exodus, is the despair that continually came up to God from the Israelite slaves. God heard their cries and remembered His promises and set in motion a series of ten judgments unequalled in any time. If your faith is weak or nonexistent, in your despair keep crying to God. Brother Stevens dedicates this tape to the laborers at Shiloh. (38 min.)

April 8, 1977 Friday P.M. Val.
The course every man of God experiences is a promise of God for a walk with Him, a divine blow that breaks your legs and then the healing so you can walk. God is honored when the feasibility of the promises from a human viewpoint is destroyed. His word always tries us until it is fulfilled. The human factor dies before the divine fulfillment emerges.

I WILL REMEMBER THE BITTER DAYS
April 6, 1977 Wednesday A.M. Ana.
Exodus 12 remains the classic story of slaves who would quickly forget the grace of God that delivered them from the bitter days. Yearly they ate a lamb roasted with the fire symbolic of judgment, with bitter herbs. We also feast upon the Lamb who bore our judgments and we do not forget the bitter days that have passed or “the pit from which we were dug.” (32 min.)

STRUTTIN’ OUT OF EGYPT
April 6, 1977 Wednesday P.M. Val.
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.)

April 4, 1977 Monday P.M. Ana.
My creed: anything the Lord gives me, I will give to others. Anything He teaches me I will teach to others. Any ability He imparts, I will impart. I will have won my race when a thousand sons outstrip me. I will be translated to a higher realm when I can give a son a double portion of all that I have from God. I am more blessed in giving than receiving. I will not compete with my brother. I will allow no personal objective of mine to compete with God’s objective for me. I will always seek first His Kingdom. I repent of the sinfulness of a competitive spirit. (51 1/2 min.)

MAKE A QUICK EXIT
April 3, 1977 Sunday A.M. Val.
The first part of the service saw the worship expressed in a deep humbling before the Lord. The second part emphasizing the word that when God opens the door we must move quickly. The Exodus Passover was kept by those ready to move out of Egypt. They ate in haste and moved out quickly. (23 min.)

BE EMPTY, THEN FILLED
April 3, 1977 Sunday A.M. Ana.
Come out of Egypt and enter Canaan. The Passover delivers some from oppression only for them to wander in the vacuum of a wilderness. Ultimately their state is worse than their former oppression. Reject bondage but always open your heart to the will of God and the fullness of God. Avoid a spiritual vacuum. Be emptied but be filled. (43 1/2 min.)

April 2, 1977 Saturday P.M. Ana.
Clearly the word describes Christ’s perfect promises and provisions for us. And clearly the Lord describes the steps we take. This is the Passover of appropriation. We take steps persistently to inherit what He has promised. We are becoming what He is because we are learning to put off the flesh and put on Christ. Out of bondage, into the liberty of the glory of the sons of God! (71 1/2 min.)

We’ve reached holy ground. The revelation of our Lord and Captain is coming. We take off our shoes for we stand on the holy ground of transition. Joshua 5 is the Passover and circumcision that launched the conquest of Canaan. The first Passover opened the door to the wilderness. This Passover preludes the possession of the promises.
