CONTINUING IN THE APOSTLE’S TEACHING
February 1, 1976 Sunday A.M. Val.

In ten minutes this message identified the true basis of divine order. The false order of the Roman church and the disorder of the Protestant churches must give way to scriptural churches who continue in the apostle’s revelation teaching of the Scriptures. This is a short but basic essential revelation of divine order.

CHRIST IS WHERE YOU FIND HIM
February 1, 1976 Sunday A.M. Val.

The basic truth of the Parousia is that Christ is glorified in His believers. Christ’s requirement of us is that we recognize and minister to the Christ in our brother until Christ is glorified in him.

LIBERTY OR LOVE?
February 1, 1976 Sunday P.M. SoG.

The issue is not what you can do because of your liberty in Christ. The issue is what you must do because of your love of Christ.

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
February 1, 1976 Sunday A.M. Ana.

We must live in constant expectancy. In this end time even though we live in constant readiness the Lord warns us that the end-time events will find most people asleep and not really expecting what will happen.

SET HEARTS FOR THE SET TIME
January 25, 1976 Sunday P.M. SoG.

By pure revelation came the exposition of the book of Haggai in which we see that God had a set time for His people to move and exhorted the people to set their hearts to do all His will. Then God said to the obedient ones “from this day on I will bless you.” The double portion and the glory of the latter house will come to those whose “hearts are set.”

THUNDERBOLTS! LATTER RAIN! WE’RE DRENCHED!
January 25, 1976 Sunday P.M. Val.

This exposition of Zechariah, chapters 9 and 10, along with the message “Set Hearts For The Set Time” on the book of Haggai unveils the problem the prophets had in seeing the things to come chronologically. This message every serious Bible student should study carefully until they understand why the prophets mingled prophecies together that are often two thousand years apart in their fulfillments. This is a Living Word on the prophecies about the latter rain and the double portion.

APOSTOLIC DIRECTIVES FOR OUR WORSHIP

Exhortation

APOSTOLIC DIRECTIVES FOR DIVINE ORDER
January 17, 1976 Saturday A.M. Ana.

The service was filled with apostolic directives which will initiate changes in our worship and expand our revelation of divine order. First came the word on our worship, giving us instructions that will change all of the churches. Then came a message showing that divine order and family order are one in the same. This is probably the most important teaching on worship and order to come in several years. (52 min.)

“BY THIS TIME”–HEBREWS 5:12
January 14, 1976 Wednesday P.M. Ana.

By this time we ought to be teachers instead of babes. This word describes the impasses and hindrances in the churches and gives specifics on what to do about them. The word is more impartation than teaching. It is a rut-blaster which the brethren recommended that every pastor hear.

THE AUTHORITY OF THE COMMISSIONED ONES
January 15, 1976 Thursday A.M. Val.

Expand your understanding of divine order. In the New Testament there were offices of authority (apostles, prophets, elders, etc. ). There were also references in the epistles to individuals with a specific commission. In both cases the submission of the Body is imperative. Be submissive to your elder but also be submissive to anyone in the Body with a specific apostolic commission.

The Kingdom will be what you determine it to be. The day you live in will be the day your faith chooses to live in. Proclaim the Kingdom now and walk in the light of the new day. The promises and the songs were all voiced in the present tense. Faith is a present appropriation while hope is an anticipation of the future. (43 min.)

January 11, 1976 Sunday A.M. Val.

This message hangs together as an apostolic sermon but it is better described as a series of explosive exhortations. It is more like a string of firecrackers ignited. It is drastic medicine for the frustrated and indolent, but it is what the Great Physician prescribes. Dear heart, take your medicine. This message was filled with directives for the Valley church that are applicable to all the churches. (51 min.)

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

January 9, 1976 Friday P.M. Val.

This message with deep impact stirred the Body to see the fulfillment of the will of God in their lives without any further delay. Satan is tampering with our time and filling our days with many things that fall short of God’s perfect will for us. We have been delayed and frustrated long enough. While this message highlights the need of the Sepulveda church, it is right for every church. (59 min.)

FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY
January 10, 1976 Saturday A.M. Ana.

Satan is oppressing our “time”. Time like our souls must be redeemed. Satan’s thorns are designed to choke the word to prevent its fulfillment. Satan rages for his time is short and unless these days are shortened all living will die. We must see our days redeemed from the futility of the curse. (73 min.)

I HAVE IT IN MY POCKET
January 11, 1976 Sunday P.M. SoG.

To summarize this message is difficult. The word of faith creates the substance or the object and the heart of faith holds that substance as the only valid reality. Hope focuses on something in the future but faith creates in the Spirit now the substance that will later appear in tangible form. This word will release faith in your heart into action. (73 min.)

This night was truly a new birth of the School of Prophets. The prophets and prophetesses were indeed functioning. Like a mighty army they charged and broke down the satanic walls of delay. The School of Prophets moved from the voicing of anticipation into the realm of appropriation. It’s not the sweet by-and-by, but it’s right now. (58 min.)
