Renewed Mind - Key to Power - Walter Cummins - Session 1

Romans 12:1 and 2: 
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 

Rotherham

I beseech you therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living, holy sacrifice, unto God acceptable,—your rational divine service;And be not configuring yourselves unto this age, but be transforming yourselves by the renewing of your mind, to the end ye may be proving what is the thing willed by God—the good and acceptable and perfect.

Our Spiritual Fulcrum - Part 2

1 Corinthians 14 - The Operations of the Manifestations (Holy Spirit Class - 1967 - Session - 6)

1 Corinthians chapter 14cis the only place in the Bible where the Word of God sets in proper order and usage the three manifestations of the  spirit that are used in worship, namely: speaking in tongues,  interpretation of tongues and prophecy.  The church in Corinth had been  off the ball in the operation of the manifestations.  And so, God, by 
Paul, has set this 14th chapter in here to straighten out the error, to  straighten out the confusion.  And it does just that.  

You know, in chapter 12, God told us about things of the spirit, or  spiritual matters, how some of them were charismata, gifts of God's grace, vertically.  Others were manifestations as they ministered to  God's people.  Then, in chapter 13, we were informed that all of these  manifestations operate effectively, as well as the ministries, if we 
have the love of God in the renewed mind in manifestation.  Then it will  bless, not only the one ministering, but the one receiving, and the one receiving as well as the one ministering.  What good is it if my  ministry blessed you and it didn't bless me?  Then I'd be the loser.   And God never set up His program for the church for anybody who 
ministered to be a loser.

1 Corinthians - The Operations of the Manifestations (Holy Spirit Class - 1967 - Session - 5)

When it comes to the field of the holy spirit and the  manifestations of the holy spirit, there are only three chapters in the  Bible that give the complete details regarding the usage and the  operations of the manifestations.  Those three chapters, basically, only  deal, significantly and dynamically, with three of the manifestations:  speaking in tongues; interpretation of tongues and prophecy.  But, these  three chapters set like a diamond in the book of Corinthians.  But, most  people have always arrested chapter 13 out from among 12 and 14.  But  chapters 12, 13 and 14 of 1Corinthians, make one complete whole.  They  make a unit.  And if we take out the thirteenth chapter from between the  twelfth and the fourteenth, we lose the great emphasis and impact, of  the dynamics of God's wonderful, matchless Word. 

What are you doing with love?

There are three types of love in the world. The Greek words for them, of course, are well known among our people. Agapeo, Phileo, and Eros.

For the most part, the world knows the most about the last. The middle one, they know a little about, because if you're going to be a good businessman, you at least have to practice Phileo. But only those who are born again of God's Spirit and put on the mind of Christ know the agapeo type of love.

This is a new kind of love, people, that was first introduced and brought to this world with Jesus Christ. And John 3, 16 says, For God so what? Loved. That he gave his only begotten Son.

Until God so loved that he gave his only begotten Son, this new type of agapeo love was just not available. Because this agapeo love is a love that's introduced into the inner man, which is the Christ in you, the hope of glory. Love at best before the introduction of this agapeo kind of love was Phileo.

Timothy - What Service Involves

2 Corinthians 2:14-17 - God, who in Christ always leads us in triumph!

2 Corinthians 2:14-17 KJV 

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

Rotherham

But, unto God, be thanks, who, ever, leadeth us in triumph in the Christ, and, the fragrance of the knowledge of him, maketh manifest, through us, in every place,
That, of Christ, a grateful odour, are we, unto God,—in them who are being saved, and in them who are being lost:
In these, indeed, a fragrance out of death into death, but, in those, a fragrance out of life into life. And, for these things, who is sufficient?
For we are not, as the many, driving a petty trade with the word of God; but, as of sincerity, but, as of God, before God, in Christ, we speak.

Five records in the book of Acts when those that believed spoke in tongues, pt-2 (Holy Spirit Class - 1967 - Session - 4)

Five records in the Word of God, that's all, just five.  
Just five records in the Word of God, no more, no less.  Four of those 
five state, without any hesitation, that, when they were born again and 
received the gift, pneuma hagion, the one thing they did was they spoke 
in tongues.  They, themselves, spoke in tongues, but what they spoke was 
as the Spirit gave it to them, to their spirit.  One place says, just 
one of the five, says that Simon saw something.  Well, what did he see?  
You know good and well what he saw.  He saw the manifestation.  The 
manifestation of what?  Speaking in tongues.
