December 13, 1981 Sunday P.M. Val.
How shall I think about one who has been commissioned? Shall I evaluate him carefully as to his qualifications? Or shall I rejoice in faith that God is choosing the weak among us to confound the mighty? Christ doesn’t give a commission to those that are worthy. He says, “You are chosen and commissioned to follow Me.” (72 min.)

The unfolding spirals upward as we are thrust into a higher spiritual level and its warfare. The soul-flesh is the level of satanic access to us. With the work of the cross, we move immediately in our spirits to a greater oneness and awareness of the Lord. This step demands that we be filled with the Spirit on this higher level. This is one of the most careful evaluations of the soul and spirit realms. (106 1/2 min.)

CREATE THE ATMOSPHERE
January 14, 1982 Thursday 5:00 P.M. No. H.
Because God gives His commissions and charges to the meek and the humble that are apparently without leadership drive, it is necessary that those who have a revelation of that one’s commission should create the proper atmosphere of faith for its fulfillment.
