Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, May 14, 2023
There needs to be more joy and more happiness among the people of God.
One way to receive more joy from the Lord is to know where you came from and where you are going.
God’s children, you see yourself as flesh and blood, with curious and anxious eyes and ears to know and to see all that you can, but you are points of light in flesh here on probation.
Our flesh will change back into that point of light, whether you die in that grave or resurrected, there is a change coming. And that flesh will change back to that point of light, but it’s enhanced, it’s glorified.
A point of light sent by God.
How can He bring in a beam of light here in flesh and take you back in a beam of light and put you up in front of Him and say you will live on and on; there is no time limit and He’s already purposed it.
The realization that you are a point of light, now in the form of flesh, sent by God and going back to Him, will make you praise the Lord. It will make you rejoice. It gives certainty to your soul, knowing you will be going back to God from where you came.
The Bible states on the day of translation, your flesh body will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. “For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality” (1 Corinthians 15: 51 – 53).
Our Lord God made Himself a little lower than the angels that He created, coming to die for our sins (Hebrews 2: 9 – 10).
Isaiah 9: 6 calls Him a child, a son, being given to us. He came as a regular human being and yet, He was “The mighty God”. He came from eternity and put on flesh, just like we come as points of light from Him and put on flesh.
He looked like an ordinary person that the Jews told Him He was not yet fifty years old, when, in fact, He is the Almighty God and there is no beginning or ending to Him (John 8: 56 – 58).
We will continue our rejoicing in heaven (Revelation 5: 11 – 14).
And the angels will just love to hear that great sound, knowing that all of those people were once sinners, saved by grace, that God’s word is true and He has filled what He has in heaven and wants to fill.
You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, May 14, 2023
We listened to a sermon titled “All Invited”,CD # 976B, preached by Brother Neal Frisby.
In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:
All are invited to praise the Lord.
Jesus did the greatest works when there is an atmosphere of faith and power.
Luke 5: 17: “And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.”
What He did was He got them to believe. They didn’t come with a lot of unbelief. They come with open mind and open heart.
Because they listen to Him and believe, the power of the Lord was present to heal. In some cases, when it gets like that, the Lord said, He healed them all. He healed every one of them. And sometimes, there’s thousands of people, sometimes, hundreds of people. And miracles in villages and cities that He went to. The miracles were incredible that took place, some creating. He will create things and put them back on.
And He said that at the end of the age, the works He did will we do also, and it really will.
It is the elect of God, the sons of God, that will shake this earth. It will shake the larger groups, but it will not win all those larger groups, but it will shake the earth. God’s people of faith before they are translated. It is the elect, the very sons of God, that will move this place around.
David said everyone is invited to praise His name and to praise Him.
Now, there are many ways reaching God: strong, fervent prayers; the prayer of faith; the fasting prayer; the prayer of waiting; the prayer of just thanksgiving; the prayer of just being determined, forceful with God, holding to, bringing it to pass, accepting it strong till it’s manifested.
Psalm 47: 1: “O CLAP your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.”
When you shout to God, you shout like you have the victory. Like you’ve got the answer before you even see it.
God is going to wipe the devil from the face of the earth and then seal him in the pit. The elect of God is going to help put him in that pit.
Psalm 47: 6 – 7: “Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.”
Psalm 66: 1: “Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands”.
Psalm 66: 4: “All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name.”
Psalm 67: 4: “O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.”
When the saints are caught up together with God, and the power of the Lord upon them like never before, and they shout the victory before God, they have eternal life.
Angels will hear. They want to hear the sound thereof. All of these, they’ve had to watch over. All of these, they waited patiently and watched how the Lord did all of these.
John saw it already in a vision. He saw these people rejoicing and shouting, the saints of God.
And the angels will just love to hear that great sound, knowing that all of those people were once sinners, saved by grace, that God’s word is true and He has filled what He has in heaven and wants to fill.
Psalm 150: 6: “Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.”
As if that sometimes, when the sheep and the cattle and the different animals, have eaten and have drink water and have rested and they sit down, it’s as if they are praising the Creator, but they don’t even know it.
The creation among themselves, will have somehow give admonition and praise to the Lord. It says let everything that hath breath praise the Lord.
One way that even the fish under the sea and even the animals on the land and the humans praise the Lord, when they take a breath in and out, they are actually thanking the Lord and praising Him, whether they want it or not because they are taking on His life. They are accepting that life at that time.
Praise Him for His kindness. Praise Him for His truth, for His truth is going to march on.
Psalm 33: 4: “For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.”
He lives in the praises of His people. Where does God live? He lives when a group gathers together with the voice of a triumph and the praises on their heart. He lives in the praises of His people.
He created, by teaching them, an atmosphere and they began to shout and to praise God as the miracles began to be performed, more intensity and the power to heal and as they thank God. He lives, because His presence was there to heal.
His promises work for us as we join into the Spirit of the Lord Jesus. His promises work as we join into the presence of the Lord, the presence to heal and the presence to deliver. He is really great.
The voice of triumph. You’ve got the answer in your heart.
There needs to be more joy and more happiness among the people of God.
If they are to experience the great blessings of the Lord, if they are to experience the greater works, which they will, then their joy has to reach a new height.
And they have to be lifted up in the power of rejoicing and when you do, you are lifting up into a dimension. You are in a realm to ask anything, saith the Lord, and ye shall receive. And then all things become possible to him that believeth. In other words, to him that acteth upon his faith.
Believing God will do what He said He will do with all of your heart and that’s by rejoicing.
We are getting closer and closer now, the age is moving quickly and there must be more joy.
There is a mystery to seeking God in one way, and yet it is simple. It’s accepting it by thanksgiving, accepting it by praise, accepting His word in your heart, being determined in your heart, completely carried away with the Lord in your heart, accepting it in your heart. And as you accept it in your heart, then the manifestation is before you.
We’ve got a God beyond all gods. A great God. And in His people, at the end of the earth, in His saints, the elect of God, have faith in the heart. All of those people that love God, they absolutely, before that translation, will have the voice of triumph.
There is the victory. There is the people that will shake the earth for God as He closes it all in the twilight.
It is the prayer of faith, not an empty voice. It is the voice of triumph, not an empty prayer. It said prayer of faith. It said voice of triumph.
Triumph means like it’s already over with. It doesn’t make any difference.
God has put it in every man to believe. Each man and woman has a measure of faith and it is up to you.
I started the sermon:
There needs to be more joy and more happiness among the people of God.
If they are to experience the great blessings of the Lord, if they are to experience the greater works, which they will, then their joy has to reach a new height.
One way to receive more joy from the Lord is to know where you came from and where you are going.
Psalm 119: 130: “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.”
In the sermon titled “God’s Greatness”, CD # 1241, Brother Neal Frisby stated:
God’s children, you see yourself as flesh and blood, with curious and anxious eyes and ears to know and to see all that you can, but you are points of light in flesh here on probation.
Our flesh will change back into that point of light, whether you die in that grave or resurrected, there is a change coming. And that flesh will change back to that point of light, but it’s enhanced, it’s glorified.
We come as points of lights.
Now, one day, by not rejecting the word, but believing the word, one day, you are going to change back to that point of light, but it will be enhanced and glorified.
A point of light sent by God.
How can He bring in a beam of light here in flesh and take you back in a beam of light and put you up in front of Him and say you will live on and on; there is no time limit and He’s already purposed it.
The realization that you are a point of light, now in the form of flesh, sent by God and going back to Him, will make you praise the Lord. It will make you rejoice. It gives certainty to your soul, knowing you will be going back to God from where you came.
An angel that is sent by God to this earth is no different from you, a point of light, also sent by God to this earth, except that the angel has a glorified body while you now have a flesh body.
Luke 1: 19: “And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.”
Your flesh body will change to a glorified body at the time of translation.
The Bible states on the day of translation, your flesh body will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. “For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.”
1 Corinthians 15: 51 – 53: “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.”
When the Lord sends angels here to earth, they look like ordinary men.
The Lord came with two angels to meet Abraham at the tent door and the Bible describes them as men.
Genesis 18: 1 – 2: “And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground”.
The two angels that went to meet Lot were described as men.
Genesis 19: 5: “And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night?”
The angel of the Lord that met the parents of Samson, before he was born, was described as a man.
Judges 13: 8 – 11: “Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born. And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her. And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day. And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am.”
The Bible tells us we could come across angels unawares because they will look like ordinary men.
Hebrews 13: 2: “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”
When the Lord comes back, those that will be translated will suddenly disappear.
Luke 17: 34 – 36: “I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”
These people will disappear because they have been caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
1 Thessalonians 4: 16 – 18: “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.”
When our bodies are glorified, we are now like angels.
Luke 20: 36: “Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.”
The Almighty God, the Angel of the Lord, encamps around us, who are points of light sent by Him.
Psalm 34: 7: “The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.”
As we go about our daily lives, we are the sons of God. We will take on the glorified form of our Lord Jesus on the day of translation.
1 John 3: 2: “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”
When we come to true salvation, the Lord makes us the sons of God, the children of God.
John 1: 10 – 12: “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name”.
The Spirit of God leads us daily.
Romans 8: 14: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
I read from Scroll # 232:
FOREKNOWLEDGE – Way back in the eons of time we don’t have words to describe how long ago in eternity it was! But the Lord of Hosts always foreknew us. And at the proper moment. Like a great cocoon spawning out of God’s mind and in the mist of His presence all of us were foreknown and came at His appointed time since Adam. Many Scriptures reveal this. One of them is Eph. chap. 1 – And here is another one Job 38: 6-7, His chosen was with Him when He laid the foundations of earth’s corner stone. When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
I continued with the sermon:
We were with the eternal God when He laid the foundations of this earth. We were with Him when the morning stars sang together.
Our Lord God made Himself a little lower than the angels that He created, coming to die for our sins.
Isaiah 9: 6 calls Him a child, a son, being given to us. He came as a regular human being and yet, He was “The mighty God”. He came from eternity and put on flesh, just like we come as points of light from Him and put on flesh.
Isaiah 9: 6: “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.”
Hebrews 2: 9 – 10: “But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.”
Hebrews 2: 14: “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil”.
He looked like an ordinary person that the Jews told Him He was not yet fifty years old, when, in fact, He is the Almighty God and there is no beginning or ending to Him.
John 8: 56 – 58: “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.”
When the devil comes at you, remind him that you are going to help put him away.
God is going to wipe the devil from the face of the earth and then seal him in the pit. The elect of God is going to help put him in that pit.
We will continue our rejoicing in heaven (Revelation 5: 11 – 14).
And the angels will just love to hear that great sound, knowing that all of those people were once sinners, saved by grace, that God’s word is true and He has filled what He has in heaven and wants to fill.
