“CALL ME MARA” RUTH 1:19-21
October 21, 1979 Sunday A.M. Shiloh
When God sought for a greatgrandmother of King David, a man after God’s own heart who said his heart was fixed on God, He picked Ruth, a woman of determined faith, without bitterness at the dealings of God. Her motherin-law changed her name from “pleasant” to “bitter” under those same dealings that Ruth endured. Bitterness results from the evaluation of your circumstances and God’s dealings without complete faith in the Word He has spoken. (33 min.)

BITTERNESS REMEMBERS WHAT GOD HAS FORGOTTEN
October 21, 1979 Sunday A.M. Shiloh
Bitterness is often a memory of distorted facts and our subjective reaction to the past. But God sees faith and accounts it for righteousness and blots out the memory of even our transgressions against Himself. Should we not also pray to forgive and forget, and account our brother’s faith as righteousness? (8 min.)

IS BITTERNESS YOUR FUTURE?
October 21, 1979 Sunday A.M. Iowa

DIGGING FOR OUR DEEP ROOTS
October 20, 1979 Saturday A.M. Shiloh

THE SHEPHERD’S COMPASSION AND COMMISSION
October 20, 1979 Saturday Aft. Shiloh
Why can a grievance turn a heart away from a living word and a commission from the Lord? The answer is the love and compassion we have, for the Lord in His Word will reject every grievance, “takes no account of a wrong suffered.” By His Word we grow in grace and appropriate the grace to grow.

September 29, 1979 Saturday P.M. Ana.
The ministries’ convocation at Anaheim responded in depth to the probing of the Holy Spirit into the problems of a wrong spirit, the perils of bitterness and the simple directives that will purge us from these negative and destructive things in our spirit. The picture of the present shaking, because of the Living Word we have heard, shows us God’s hand in causing every wrong thing in our spirit to surface. (54 min.)
