The Spirit Of Cheerfulness / The Scriptures: Our Common Heritage, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Northridge, CA on Sunday, February 9, 1964. Hidden Treasure.
The Spirit Of Cheerfulness
Our attitude of encouragement or discouragement greatly determines what happens in our individual lives. When people lose out with God, it begins with discouragement; and the spiritual vacuum it creates opens the door to Satan’s work of defeat. When we determine to have an attitude of cheerfulness and to serve God on the highest plane, then we have opened the door for His good intentions to flow towards us.
The Scriptures: Our Common Heritage
In this study of Acts chapter 19, we gain a deeper appreciation for the Scriptures as the inspired Word of God and the efforts of the Early Church to preserve them. Today, we contend that every man has a right to hear God’s Word and be given a chance to accept or reject it.

God’s power is made perfect in weakness. When we are weak, He makes us strong (II Corinthians 12:9-10). This Word explains how God can move in a fantastic way in our lives even though we may feel weak and distressed. Do not withdraw when you feel weak; God may be preparing to move through you.

What should be our attitude when the sufferings of Christ or persecutions or reproaches come upon us? We should rejoice, because His glory is resting upon us. If we suffer with Him, we will be glorified with Him. Our sufferings at the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed in us (Romans 8:17-18).

The creative, productive force of love is only effective when it is expressed. Oftentimes, love must be expressed in ways that may seem extravagant, as when Mary washed the Lord’s feet with her hair.

A Miracle To Create Faith
We cannot reason out the ways of God from a human standpoint. At times it may appear that God has withdrawn from you, but His purpose is to build your faith. Christ deliberately delayed until after Lazarus died so that faith could be worked in the hearts of the disciples.
He Has Rolled Away The Stone
When the women gathered at Christ’s tomb, they asked among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone?” However, Christ had already risen! Their question serves to illustrate that our greatest problem is our unbelief. When our minds are filled with worries and problems, we are distracted from the realization that Christ is alive and that He has provided for all our needs. He has already rolled away the stone that seems to be our hindrance.

This message was also printed in the book, Seven Great Young People Of The Bible.
The Weight Of Glory
As we open our heart to the Lord so that His power and glory rests upon us, He allows a corresponding measure of pressure and distress on us that produces a feeling of weakness in us. This experience of weakness under the weight of His glory is God’s way of restricting us so that the flesh does not rise up in pride. We glory in our infirmities, because His power is made perfect in our weakness (II Corinthians 12:9).

The early church in Thessalonica was established during a short three-week time period in which there was an explosion of the living Word, spoken out of the mouths of the early apostles.

The Glory That Attends His Living Epistles / He Is Preparing You For Joy, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Thursday, October 10, 1963. Hidden Treasure.
The Glory That Attends His Living Epistles
God is not satisfied to have His Word written only on paper; He wants to write it on our hearts, that we may be a living ministration of His glory to the earth. The glory that will accompany living epistles of God’s Word today will far exceed the glory that shone on Moses’ face. Yet we, the living epistles, will reveal it to the earth with unveiled faces, so that those who behold the glory may be transformed into His image.
He Is Preparing You For Joy
The frustrations and trials that you experience in your walk with God are a prelude to joy, as God baptizes you in fire to try your faith. Hold steady; for He will give you a garland for the ashes of your devastation, oil of joy for your mourning, and a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness that afflicted you (Isaiah 61:3).

Stand On Holy Ground / Believe Him, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, September 15, 1963 and in South Gate, CA on Thursday, September 19, 1963. Hidden Treasure.
Stand On Holy Ground
When the Lord met Moses and Joshua, He told them that “the ground whereon you stand is holy.” Holy ground refers to a fresh encounter with God, where you find out who He is and who you are in relationship to Him. We must see our young people break through to stand on holy ground.
Believe Him
The greatest challenge of the ages is to believe God. In the past, one or two men could believe God and thus change the whole course of history. But in the end-time, God is asking that a people have a complete, perfect faith towards Him. Come to grips with your unbelief; set your will to believe Him and to trust His Word.

In this place of rest in His presence, we find a freedom that allows us to give ourselves wholly to His discipleship.

The real Christian believer is at once satisfied and dissatisfied; he is content and yet he is striving. We are satisfied with the most wonderful dissatisfaction that ever satisfied the human heart. As we cry out to God and strive for the goals that have been divinely revealed, we must also live joyfully no matter what the present circumstances are, know that we are in His will even as we seek it.

He Fulfilled Every Need / The Principle Of Divine Superabundance, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, March 31, 1963 and in South Gate, CA on Sunday, April 7, 1963. Hidden Treasure.
He Fulfilled Every Need
Christ’s death and resurrection accomplished more than the forgiveness of your sins. Every area of your need, every aspect of your nature was embraced by Christ during His crucifixion, so that through His resurrection, your entire life would be transformed. The Word was preceded by a living prophecy that ended discouragement.
The Principle Of Divine Superabundance
We have yet to exercise the full force of the principle of divine superabundance. God intends for you to have an abundant, joyful and miraculous life. However, superabundance is a result of your great expectation and persevering faith.

The Peace Of God Is Your Referee / Aggressive Faith, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Thursday, May 2, 1963 and in Washington, IA on Saturday, May 11, 1963. Hidden Treasure.
The Peace Of God Is Your Referee
The witness of the peace of God in your heart is the referee, the confirming signal, that you are walking in God’s will. This word gives us a basic key as we learn to walk in the Spirit.
Aggressive Faith
We must have an active, aggressive attitude of faith in our approach to the Lord. It is unbelief to wait for God to repeat and confirm through some special sovereign declaration to us what He already said is ours. By the victory that Christ won on the cross, we can step forth to move in the Word and walk in it and become it.

By Him Actions Are Weighed
We do not yet appreciate the depth of synergistic action and contagiousness of spirit that takes place between Church members either for edification or contamination. By Him actions are weighed. Make sure your spirit is right toward your brother, free of any jealousy or criticism.

Nourish The Seed / The Foundation Of Our Salvation, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in Washington, IA on Tuesday, May 14, 1963. Hidden Treasure.
Nourish The Seed
The seed of faith planted within you is nourished by the positive words of faith that you speak. Through your expressions of faith, God can bless what He started in you.
The Foundation Of Our Salvation
Because Christ so completely identified Himself with our human nature, His attributes and nature can be communicated to us. Though He was rich, for our sakes He became poor (II Corinthians 8:9). God’s whole plan for our salvation is based on this principle.

Walk In Total Victory / Whom The Lord Loves, He Chastens, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, April 14, 1963. Hidden Treasure.
Walk In Total Victory
Do not settle for anything less than complete fulfillment and total victory in the Lord. Guard your spirit so that it is untouched by circumstances and remains absolutely free to do the will of the Lord.
Whom The Lord Loves, He Chastens
God chastens us and deals with us so that we become His mature sons. Like the process of raw iron being tempered into fine steel, He disciplines us to create Himself in us and to prepare our heart for the future. The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

Set Your Face Toward Jerusalem / Are You Expecting Too Little?, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, April 7, 1963 and in South Gate, CA on Sunday, April 14, 1963. Hidden Treasure.
Set Your Face Toward Jerusalem
Before His crucifixion, Christ set His face toward Jerusalem. He did not look back; He could not be diverted. Each one of us must have that same steadfast courage to walk through the dealings of God as He creates us to be His instruments in the earth.
Are You Expecting Too Little?
Are you anticipating His living presence in your life? Too often, we come to the house of God expecting too little. We believe in progressive change, but we must also believe in those instantaneous miracle endowments of God’s grace that, in a moment’s time, transform us and remove restrictions. Believe in the resurrected Lord who can do abundantly above all you could ask or think.

Release Your Potential / The Perfect Prayer, by John Robert Stevens. These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, March 3, 1963 and in Northridge, CA on Sunday, March 17, 1963. Hidden Treasure.
Release Your Potential
We have with us tremendous endowments of God’s Spirit. The fruits of the Spirit–love, joy, and peace–are the essential elements that are needed to detonate the hidden power of these endowments. Ask God for an impartation of the fruits of the Spirit, for by His grace, they are attainable.
The Perfect Prayer
The perfect, prevailing prayer is rooted within four great principles: 1) a personal relationship with the Lord; 2) a subordination to His sovereignty; 3) a quest for His perfect will; and 4) a reverent demand that our basic needs of hunger, forgiveness, and deliverance be fulfilled. This message is foundational to the prayer life of every believer.
