Introduction

Those that do not take advantage of the power of the Lord, and the anointing of the Lord, their life is dull.  But the Bible says, and Jesus said, leap for joy, and there’s merriment, and happiness, and joy, and you find in Jesus you have joy, you have peace, you have divine love, you have all of these things from the Savior.  Luke 6: 23.

What a positive gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.  It is a happy Gospel because a happy God gave it to us.  As a whole, you’ll never see anybody like the great Creator.  He is the epitome of joy.  He won’t have to do anything, but sit there, and life will flow through you, and ebbs of joy unheard of; never in your life will you feel such a happy joy, that you’ll feel of eternal life, and what it does when you’re changed.

This Bible is a map that leads to the greatest treasures on this earth.  It clears up things that men are confused about:  They’re put here to worship Him, they’re put here to praise the Lord.

Explains about the Lord God.  It tells who He is, the only one and true God.  The Bible tells us that the Lord Jesus is the only true God (John 17: 3; Isaiah 9: 6; John 8: 56 – 58).

This Bible here is road map to prosperity, to healing, to signs, to wonders, to miracles, to salvation, to eternal life.  Whatever you need is in this Bible here, search no further.

Someday, when it’s all over with, and you meet the very Word, and you see the very Word, the Lord Jesus Christ, and someday, when this Bible is presented, you’re going to see what a fortune, how valuable what you was carrying around and didn’t know it.  Not enough, all wealth, there’s not enough of money in this world, and not enough of wealth in the world, to actually have this, but God gave it to His people.

Take advantage of this Gospel.  Be happy, somebody may be watching you, especially the Angels.  Get happy, get joy, witness about the Lord, and His coming, tell the people.

I’ll tell you right now, for those that have faith, God really cares for them, and those that love the Lord with all their heart, He’s making mansions for them, and they’re already completed in there.  Revelation 21: 2 – 3; Revelation 21: 22 – 23.

It tells about how salvation is the key to all things in the Lord Jesus.  The Lord Jesus, who is the mighty God, gave Himself to us as the gift of God (Romans 6: 23; John 4: 10; Ephesians 2: 8 – 9).

The Christian life is full of bubbling.  What a thrill, but you must use your faith.  Why do you use your faith?  Your faith joins you to the supernatural.

Yea, though I walk through the valley, the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me.  I’ve always said that way, that that was written, yea though I walk, I’m not running, yea though I walk.  He said I walked.  Isn’t that great faith in God?   Psalm 23: 4.

I will give the Angels charge over thee.  I will be in this life, and my Angels will watch after you.  And when you depart this life, have no fear of walking through the valley of a spiritual death, I am with you.  Death is just a word, you just translate right into light with the Lord.  Psalm 91: 11.

At death, your body stays in the grave, but your spirit and soul are changed into light, and you are escorted by Angels, who are also in the form of light, to the third heaven, paradise.  To be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord.  At the time of translation, for those who had died in the Lord, the physical body, that has been in the grave, is changed into light in a moment, uniting with the soul and spirit that have already been in the form of light.  For those who are alive at the time of translation, they are also changed into light in a moment.  Our glorified body is a light of the Lord.  And so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Luke 16: 22; 2 Corinthians 12: 1 – 4; 2 Corinthians 5: 8; 1 Corinthians 15: 51 – 53; Colossians 3: 4; 1 Thessalonians 4: 16 – 18.

Let us thank our Lord Jesus, our eternal light.

You will be blessed.

Summary of the Sermon

We listened to a sermon titled “Leap for Joy”, CD # 1196, preached by Brother Neal Frisby.

In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:

And so, here’s this morning, I just put this on here, leap for joy, leap for joy. You knew who said that, Jesus said that. In fact, one time He said, if you don’t cry out, these very rocks will cry out and praise me. For He’s the great eternal One, the Messiah coming to the earth to save His people.

Some people don’t know how to read the Bible, or they don’t get in the right place. Here, we’ve had it revelated to us, and there’s no more adventure than revelation in God. When He opens those Scriptures up, and four to five to seven different ways, allowing that anointing to come in many different directions, you must take advantage of it, or you will have a dull life. Those that do not take advantage of the power of the Lord, and the anointing of the Lord, their life is dull. But the Bible says, and Jesus said, leap for joy, and there’s merriment, and happiness, and joy, and you find in Jesus you have joy, you have peace, you have divine love, you have all of these things from the Savior.

Now, ye shall find me when ye shall search for me with all your heart. It means, not just searching for God mentally, not just thinking about God, but it means in the soul, as you search. You notice the word search. You won’t come up with all of Him in one day, but you’ll find the Lord instantly as you believe, but you’ll really find Him when you search for Him.

This Bible is a map that leads to the greatest treasures on this earth. I mean, this is a treasure hunt, and He will bless, and He will prosper, He will heal, and He will work miracles, He will show signs, and He will show wonders to His people. What a positive gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. What the world calls dull is just the opposite if they could ever get involved.

The Bible is a great adventure. It clears up things that men are confused about. It clear them all up. See, men today, have mental problems, they are oppressed, they are confused, they don’t understand God, they don’t understand this, they don’t understand why the earth is this way, why people are acting that way, why is this happening? See, because they don’t know the Scriptures, and those Scriptures, like I say, it’s just like a treasure, it clears up things. Man’s purpose on this earth, they don’t even know what they’re doing here, they don’t even realize the opportunities, they don’t realize what God has put them here for. They’re put here to worship Him, they’re put here to praise the Lord, and they’re put here to work with one another, and they’re in a divine plan, and they’re put here to show the devil that they can live and be with God.

The Bible is a future book. It is past, present and future, just like Jesus is. I am the same yesterday, and I’m the same today, and forever, He said. That’s the word of God, and that’s the way the Bible is here.

The Bible, it clears up and shows man’s purpose upon this earth. It even shows Paradise in Revelations 21 and 22, and it shows different things that, all through the Bible, about Paradise.

The Christian life is full of bubbling. What a thrill, but you must use your faith.

Why do you use your faith? Your faith joins you to the supernatural.

You shall find me when you search for me with all your heart, meaning in the soul, and not just mentally, and you get Him.

This Bible here is road map to prosperity, to healing, to signs, to wonders, to miracles, to salvation, to eternal life. Whatever you need is in this Bible here, search no further.

Someday, when it’s all over with, and you meet the very Word, and you see the very Word, the Lord Jesus Christ, and someday, when this Bible is presented, you’re going to see what a fortune, how valuable what you was carrying around and didn’t know it. Not enough, all wealth, there’s not enough of money in this world, and not enough of wealth in the world, to actually have this, but God gave it to His people.

Take advantage of this Gospel. Be happy, somebody may be watching you, especially the Angels. Get happy, get joy, witness about the Lord, and His coming, tell the people.

There’s great secrets in this Bible, future events, and things that are happening all around us, are couched in symbols and mysteries in this Bible.

You can see the past, present, all of the future, and everything that’s involved there.

It explains the Angels and all about their duties, and so forth like that, that He wants us to know.

Explains about the Lord God. It tells who He is, the only one and true God.

It tells of His great chariot, and chariots, and so forth.

It tells about His looks and manifestations, and how He appears and so forth like that.

It speaks here about the eternal things that man on this earth don’t understand

I’ll tell you right now, for those that have faith, God really cares for them, and those that love the Lord with all their heart, He’s making mansions for them, and they’re already completed in there.

It tells about how salvation is the key to all things in the Lord Jesus. When you get salvation, it’ll lead to all the gifts, and the power of the Lord, but you must press on in after salvation, and step out, but salvation is the key to all things, forever and ever, you have eternal life.

It says here in 1 Peter 5: 7: Casting all your cares upon Him; for He careth for you. He’s going to take all those cares. Now there’s a promise.

Jesus said seek Him first and all those things will be added. He always said seek Him first.

Isaiah 41: 10: Fear thou not, get that fear out of there, for I am with thee. Who told you God wasn’t with you? What does Satan tell you? What did this one tell you? He didn’t say that. He said fear not, get that out of there. For I am with you, yea, I will help thee, I will uphold thee in my right hand of my righteousness. He is fully with you.

Then it says here, Psalm 27: 10: When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.

You know little David wrote this. I often thought he loved his mother and father, but you know, as a young boy, he was put out there, younger than the rest of them. I believe all of them go out there and they have a little bit of that life, but he happened to be one of the best shepherds that was ever born, and his father put him out, by his self, he said so, and when it’s called for king, he wasn’t even there because they should have sent for him, but God wouldn’t call that boy, he didn’t call him, and there, we got big boy over here, we got this boy over here, and this little shepherd boy was the coming king of Israel, the first great king. He was put out there, and I know he was so little, 10, 12, maybe 14 years old, little boy, by his self. Great beast roamed the earth at that time, lions, everything, down in there, bear. He’s out there with sheep, and he was to protect those sheep, and there he was, out there. I know, sometimes, maybe for weeks before they’d see him, and little David thought, when my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up. How could God go against that. And Lord spoke to him, and he learned about the Lord as a little boy, but his father and mother didn’t, but they’ve done it on the direction of God really, because the Lord wanted him alone. And he had such great confidence in the Lord. A little boy would think that way, I’m all by myself, I’ve been out here two weeks. Try it yourself, and you’re grown up, see what happens. Anyway, he wrote that, and while he was all alone with the Lord out there, he began to learn all about Him. It was God-given, and when the bear came, he rent him apart. When the lion came, he turned him back. The Lord was with him, and he sang his Psalms, and he glorified God, and he was carried away in the Lord. He killed the giant as a young teenager, and God called him, said, you’ll be the king over Israel, and you’ll have more places in the Scriptures than any other man. Thou has been alone with me, so his life was alone, he had more places of Scripture than anybody else, the king of Israel.

And so, there is no excuse if your friends forsake you, if your relatives forsake you, if your father, and mother, was to forsake you, then the Lord will take me up.

Hebrews 13: 6: So that we may boldly say, the Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man can do unto me. I will not fear what man, and say boldly, the Lord is my helper.

The Lord is our father, He is our mother, He is our brother, He is our sister, He is the one that we really got.

He stands forever with you.

1 Peter 4: 14: If you be reproached for the name of Christ, it says here, happy are ye, for it said, the Spirit of glory of God shall rest upon you, if you’re reproached. He said happy are you for the Spirit of glory will rest upon you.

Psalm 91: 11: For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Every way, He’ll still be with you.

Yea, though I walk through the valley, the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me. I’ve always said that way, that that was written, yea though I walk, I’m not running, yea though I walk. Evidently, some of them would run or ride their horses fast through this terrible place that many people had died, many wars had, maybe, been fought, plagues had hit there, death was on every side, maybe it was the time of battle where no one was left hardly, and David had to walk through there, and see how many men that he had lost, and in any moment, somebody would be hiding with a spear, but he didn’t run through there, he didn’t get scared like some of them flee. He said I walked. Isn’t that great faith in God? Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I don’t fear no evil, for Thou art with me. How many of you believe that? Praise Him.

I will give the Angels charge over thee. I will be in this life, and my Angels will watch after you. And when you depart this life, have no fear of walking through the valley of a spiritual death, I am with you. Death is just a word, you just translate right into light with the Lord, and you live in there, and if you happen to go early, it’ll just be a little while. We’ll all be, and the people that love God will be, all around you, that’s exactly right.

Paul, and Philippians 4, I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me, and then he says my God shall supply all my need according to His riches in glory by Jesus Christ.

It is a happy Gospel because a happy God gave it to us.

As a whole, you’ll never see anybody like the great Creator. He is the epitome of joy. He won’t have to do anything, but sit there, and life will flow through you, and ebbs of joy unheard of; never in your life will you feel such a happy joy, that you’ll feel of eternal life, and what it does when you’re changed. And Jesus said they cannot see the future, they will not listen, and I’ve written it in the Old Testament, it’s in the New Testament’s, everywhere, and they will not, cannot, foresee the future. If they could, they would leap for joy.

So, while the world says, well, they cannot see it, they’re not looking for it, their eyes are closed, they’re blinded, their ears are closed, we have a happy Gospel. There will be test, there will be trials, but in a whole, it is the most, happiest, thing on this earth. God has given us something, eternal life, or to keep a person full of joy all of the time.

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, the Bible said. Sing the song of triumph, sing the song of victory. It didn’t say sing the song of failure, sing the song of defeat. No, it was just the opposite; sing the song of victory or the trumpet of triumph, blow it.

Did you know that you can be happy if you want to be happy, by joining to the Spirit. You start getting happy in the physical and then start letting that get ahold of you spiritually, and you will really have a blessing from the Lord.

The Kingdom of God is within you, yes. The Kingdom of God is there. You have to arouse it by your faith. And the people that have salvation, the gifts or whatever God has given in your life, they’re within you, the power of God, as you seek Him out, they’ll be manifested, and God will work with you. It’s exactly right. You have anything you want, it’s within, where your faith is at, it’s creative, it is very powerful thing that God has given you, and the old devil will try to cheat you out of that, but you have that power within there.

Sing the song of triumph, sing the song of victory, blow the trumpet, and sing praises to our God, for God will bless you when you get like that.

Scripture Reading

Those that do not take advantage of the power of the Lord, and the anointing of the Lord, their life is dull. But the Bible says, and Jesus said, leap for joy, and there’s merriment, and happiness, and joy, and you find in Jesus you have joy, you have peace, you have divine love, you have all of these things from the Savior.

“Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven”Luke 6: 23

Leap for joy for you have a reward in heaven. You have eternal life in the Lord Jesus.

What a positive gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

It is a happy Gospel because a happy God gave it to us.

As a whole, you’ll never see anybody like the great Creator. He is the epitome of joy. He won’t have to do anything, but sit there, and life will flow through you, and ebbs of joy unheard of; never in your life will you feel such a happy joy, that you’ll feel of eternal life, and what it does when you’re changed.

The Bible is a future book. It is past, present and future, just like Jesus is. I am the same yesterday, and I’m the same today, and forever, He said. That’s the word of God, and that’s the way the Bible is here.

Explains about the Lord God. It tells who He is, the only one and true God. The Bible tells us the Lord Jesus is the only true God.

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”John 17: 3

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”Isaiah 9: 6

“Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.”John 8: 56 – 58

This Bible here is road map to prosperity, to healing, to signs, to wonders, to miracles, to salvation, to eternal life. Whatever you need is in this Bible here, search no further.

Someday, when it’s all over with, and you meet the very Word, and you see the very Word, the Lord Jesus Christ, and someday, when this Bible is presented, you’re going to see what a fortune, how valuable what you was carrying around and didn’t know it. Not enough, all wealth, there’s not enough of money in this world, and not enough of wealth in the world, to actually have this, but God gave it to His people.

Take advantage of this Gospel. Be happy, somebody may be watching you, especially the Angels. Get happy, get joy, witness about the Lord, and His coming, tell the people.

It explains the Angels and all about their duties, and so forth like that, that He wants us to know.

I read from Scroll # 154:

WHAT ABOUT THE ANGELS? – “They are a fascinating part of God’s kingdom and they do their duties well! They are the princes of heaven who stand before God! They are also ministering spirits to those who are heirs of salvation!”

DIVINE PROVIDENCE – “Angels will have a direct hand in uniting and gathering the elect! The lives of Christians would be in serious jeopardy if angels were not watching over them!” (Ps. 91: 11-12)

THE GUARDIAN ANGELS – “The Scriptures teach a guardian angel watches over each human being that is born into this world!” (Matt. 18: 10)

ANGELIC INSIGHT – “As far back as the Garden of Eden angels are mentioned! In Eden they guarded the way of the Tree of Life! (Gen. 3: 24)

THE ANGELS FLIGHT – “The movement of angels is remarkable! In an instant they can appear from heaven before us or from one part of the Universe to the other without passing through the rest of it!” – “To understand these supernatural appearances we would have to compare them with thought!

THE ANGELS’ DUTY – “Is it a fact that certain angels carry the righteous into heaven at death? – Yes! “But here is a good Scriptural viewpoint of this subject! . . . Jesus revealed in a parable that the rich man died and descended into the region of darkness! No angels carried him! But it came to pass that Lazarus, the beggar, died and was carried ‘by the angels’ into Abraham’s bosom!” (Luke 16:22-23)

ANGELS AND THE ELECT – “Men have often wondered when their bodies are glorified and changed how will they rank with the angels? – In the world to come, the righteous are equal to angels! (Luke 20: 36) – In some respects and ways the redeemed will excel angels; for the overcomers will be the ‘very bride’ of Christ! – A privilege which is not given to angels! There is no higher position for created beings than those in the Bride of Christ!” (Rev. 19: 7 – 9)

DESCRIPTIONS – “Probably we will not know all the orders, positions and ranks of angels and their duties until after the Translation!”

I’ll tell you right now, for those that have faith, God really cares for them, and those that love the Lord with all their heart, He’s making mansions for them, and they’re already completed in there.

“And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.”Revelation 21: 2 – 3

“And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.”Revelation 21: 22 – 23

It tells about how salvation is the key to all things in the Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus, who is the mighty God, gave Himself to us as the gift of God.

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”Romans 6: 23

“Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.”John 4: 10

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”Ephesians 2: 8 – 9

The Christian life is full of bubbling. What a thrill, but you must use your faith. Why do you use your faith? Your faith joins you to the supernatural.

Yea, though I walk through the valley, the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me. I’ve always said that way, that that was written, yea though I walk, I’m not running, yea though I walk. He said I walked. Isn’t that great faith in God?

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”Psalm 23: 4

I will give the Angels charge over thee. I will be in this life, and my Angels will watch after you. And when you depart this life, have no fear of walking through the valley of a spiritual death, I am with you. Death is just a word, you just translate right into light with the Lord.

“For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.”Psalm 91: 11

At death, your body stays in the grave, but your spirit and soul are changed into light, and you are escorted by Angels, who are also in the form of light, to the third heaven, paradise. To be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord. At the time of translation, for those who had died in the Lord, the physical body, that has been in the grave, is changed into light in a moment, uniting with the soul and spirit that have already been in the form of light. For those who are alive at the time of translation, they are also changed into light in a moment. Our glorified body is a light of the Lord. And so shall we ever be with the Lord.

“And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried”Luke 16: 22

“It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.”2 Corinthians 12: 1 – 4

“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.”2 Corinthians 5: 8

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.”1 Corinthians 15: 51 – 53

“When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.”Colossians 3: 4

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”1 Thessalonians 4: 16 – 18

Let us thank our Lord Jesus, our eternal light.

You will be blessed.
