Re: The Living Word Fellowship, The Walk, John Robert Stevens

In messages he brought, John often linked a person's ability to receive revelation with their openness to be submissive to authority. Think about how difficult it was for a seeker to have an honest revelation...if in the back of their mind, they believe the blockage to revelation might be their lack of submission--as suggested by John in his word. Frankly, I suspect many of my 'revelations' about John and the Kingdom during this time period was the product of his power of persuasion, and good ol' peer pressure.
Does anyone recall a This Week entitled 'The Submissive Will Know.'--in which the topic is dealth with in some depth (submission leading to understanding)? I may not have the title exactly correct...
