Many powerful teachings were expounded on, throughout cities and congregations coast to coast, and out under night skies and jam-packed living-rooms and auditoriums. THE BOLD CONFESSION .... TRAINING YOUR SOUL ... and the profound insights into the full implementation of what EPHESIANS 4:11,12 are all about. This message speaks about DISCIPLESHIP -- Not the authoritarian, elitist, cultist dogmas of the 60s, but the glorious end-time manifestation of living as victorious and totally devoted, effective men and women of faith in service to the Lord ... as active Christians, evangelists, and missionaries. A family and a church with an agenda. A holy purpose.. . "The PURPOSE and VISION of GOD" ! These teachings were so refreshing, so liberating, and so beloved that they can never fade from the hearts of a whole generation. Surely they are still being taught locally and also far away from where they were birthed at the Lighthouse Ranch and Deliverance Temple in Eureka, CA. The foundational truths of Gospel Outreach move on with not only the remembrances of how a great teacher and father in the faith impacted untold thousands, but also with illumination to nations needing the Light of Jesus, and revelation, and deliverance, and needing to be EQUIPPED to minister boldly! Such numerous, moving, poignant, memorable times spent in Ministry Houses, Ranches, Festivals, Teams to other cities or other countries, and the bonding of lifelong friends as well as marriages that took place!!! Now there are grown children of those homes that are involved in Missions. Tens of thousands have been impacted! The world is more populated and more LOST and UNREACHED than one cares to admit. Those who have surely picked up the cross of Christ and denied themselves to spend their all for the Gospel in the dark inner city or the remotest jungles are not at all a huge number. Listen now again to the call - the cry - and recommit to carry the torch on into the next generation! People throughout the land are wanting - and NEEDING - to again HEAR THIS CALL, THIS MESSAGE -- which helped to draw, direct and drive them on into 30-35-40 years of Christian LIFE or dedication to full-time Gospel ministry. Several fervent Evangelists and Pastors are where they are today because of that moment when THEY knew they must GO INTO ALL THE WORLD! They are STILL in full-time Ministry because of the influence of these messages! I know that all of us are loved of God, and that He is not calling us to religious works and duties, and in fact reprimands Martha for being so busy instead of spending needed time at the Lord's feet. Yet, behold the condition of the traditional, lethargic, denominational church-in-the-box which hasn't been at the prayer-altar - has no power - wears no armor - is not surrendering all to His will and His Lordship - Budget spent on comforts and fancies - Evangelism and Missions seem extinct!! I'd like to challenge you today: Sure, you and I are just dirt. We can do nothing except by His strength. The Missionary could not go if there were not those who stayed and sent what is needed. Other than these considerations, however, WHO will set the trumpet to your mouth? Who will carry His sword and be dedicated to reach the lost tribes? Thank God for messages and messengers that raise high this torch! Hear the fervent spiritual challenges that set a generation ablaze! Youth who were lost in delusion, drugs and rebellion became devoted Christians, evangelists and missionaries across the nation and into distant countries. The messages of the early the 70s, preached by Jim Durkin and so many others, are as relevant TODAY as in those prayerful and zealous nights and days when hearts were afire for God's holy will at all costs!

These are the VERY SAME messages that inspired, motivated and transformed multitudes during the 1970's through the 80's. They were originally made available as cassette tapes through an arm of GO called "Radiance Ministry". Alas, both Radiance AND GO (as it was then) no longer exist. Fortunately, the messages lived on as tape and now as .MP3. We are now making them available to "ALL of those who have ears and wish to hear" !! Our prayer is, "May the Wind of God's Holy Spirit once more sweep through the land as it did in the years of the Jesus People, blowing away the cobwebs of blindness, indifference and self-centeredness from our eyes and hearts !!!!"
I want to offer a SPECIAL "thank you" to Bob Bergeron of Anchorage, Alaska, who transcribed 100's of Jim's tapes into .MP3, and MOST graciously and generously made them available for this project.

Please NOTE:
The following two links -- [ Here ] and [ Here ] -- are listings of the .mp3 recordings contained on the DVD's referenced below. If you do NOT see what you are looking for on this page, search the listings. If the recording IS listed there, contact me via eMail, and I will make it available. I have two (2) 5gb DVDs full of .MP3s of Jim's Teachings. Copies may be obtained using the PayPal Checkout below. The fee is ONLY to cover the cost of the DVD's and shipping. Many of these messages were split into multiple parts (2-4) during the conversion from cassette tape to .MP3. I have a simple ".MP3 Merge" program, which I will include on the DVD, to "stitch" them back into one again. You may also download the programs [ Here ] and [ Here ]. The first is a VERY simple, NO-options model. The second has a few more options and features. PLEASE NOTE !!!!
The (.exe) file for the "mp3 merger" program needs to be run in "administrative mode" to work.
