For generations God's people have had mingled desires to know the Lord and a compulsion to flee from that awesome knowledge. The cry of our hearts must be, "That I may know Thee and the power of Thy resurrection." "Then shall we know if we follow on to know the Lord. He shall come to us..."
All our service will not please Him if we have broken the greatest commandment of all. We love Him with all our heart and all our works are a love-activity.
Our hearts turn again to the Passover. The Passover is a journey that begins with a search of the heart. How can a righteous God not totally hate sin? How can a loving God give less than His only begotten Son to suffer for every man's sin? How can we serve such a God without hating sin as He hates it and seeking with our whole heart the righteousness He has provided? This Word was basic and moved every heart. This CD is one of the best.
This is the Passover story of Christ our Lord at the age of twelve. It deals with our awareness of losing His presence and fellowship. This is a good message for young people.
With Great Boldness
In Christ we have access to come boldly to the throne of grace. "Boldness" in the Greek means "to come and speak freely." We speak freely to the Lord knowing how much He loves us. Out of our boldness to stand before Him comes the boldness to speak to others. Lord, we appreciate anew our privilege of access!
CD includes both of the above messages by John Robert Stevens (2008-1113-3R)
The Holy Spirit woos us into abiding in the presence of the Lord. He stirs again our primal hunger after the Lord. We delight in the Lord as we come to know that He delights in us. This is the milestone of His presence. We view a new age relationship to the Lord and we seal it in our hearts forever. This is an experience with the Lord!
Living Word Publications is a ministry of The Living Word, the publishing house of The Living Word Fellowship. The Living Word was established in 1968 out of a vision to capture, preserve, and publish the teachings of John Robert Stevens. Many of Stevens' sermons have been edited and published in books, manuals, and a weekly periodical titled "This Week."
The Living Word continues in its ministry today—carefully recording, editing, and publishing teachings of Stevens' successor, Gary Hargrave, and others who teach and minister the Word.
