Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0067AB recorded on June 20, 1979 teaching from 1 John 5:1-15 – Talking With Our Father.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens explores how believers can resolve spiritual confusion by learning to pray according to God’s will as outlined in 1 John 5. He argues that knowing the divine will is not a matter of seeking mystical signs, but rather of studying the Bible and maintaining a right relationship with the Father through Jesus Christ. Stevens outlines five key truths about prayer, emphasizing that it is a necessary order placed by a child of God that must harmonize with Scripture to be effective. Ultimately, Pastor Stevens teaches that while the Word provides clear instructions for holiness and wisdom, the Holy Spirit intervenes to guide the believer in specific situations where a direct scriptural command may not be obvious.
