Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, April 7, 2024 I’ve always felt, the real elect of God that He calls right at the end of the age, is probably never even been in a church. When God moves at the end of the age, and He gives that powerful move, there will be people, was probably never organized, lot of them, many of those people never been in a church, but they know one thing, the Holy Spirit is telling them, the hour is late, it is your time now. He'll tell them the same He’s told Noah to go on, get in the ark, the rain’s coming. He’ll speak to those people like you’ve never seen before. Something in their heart, each one sitting where he is at, or walking, or doing, or drinking, or whatever he is doing wrong, whatever it is. In his heart, God, all of a sudden, will tell him, time now. No matter the type of life the people that will be coming to salvation at this end of time may have now, or whatever they may be doing wrong, when the Lord talks to their hearts, they will repent and come to salvation. The Lord will let them know He is coming soon. The Lord Jesus spoke to your heart, and that was why you came to salvation. He spoke to your heart to leave the life of sin that you had, and to come to Him. In your heart you went to the Lord and asked for forgiveness of your sins; you became saved; you were born of the Spirit. And the Holy Spirit, remember it said He calleth them by name. He calleth them, they know His voice. And when He does, that is harvest time, brother, that is really harvest time. And I can tell you another thing, eternal life is going to be wonderful, and don’t ever worry about it. You believe the Lord, there is eternity, and there is an eternal life. Romans 6: 23: “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” It states “the” gift of God is “eternal life” through our Lord Jesus Christ. It means you cannot have a greater gift from God, besides eternal life. It is because the eternal God is giving you part of His life. What is eternal life? It is life that is eternal. In Luke 16: 19 – 31, we read about the rich man and Lazarus. Lazarus died, but his life continued somewhere else. When a child of God dies now, he or she goes to the third heaven, paradise (2 Corinthians 12: 1 – 4). The rich man also died, and was buried, but his life also continued somewhere else. “And in hell he lift up his eyes”, for he did not give his heart to the Lord. In Luke 23: 39 – 43, the Lord Jesus told the thief, this day, “shalt thou be with me in paradise”. The life of the thief continued somewhere else, beyond the grave. John 3: 15: “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” When you repent and come to salvation, the life that you have now, going about your daily life, is eternal because the real you (the spiritual part) was with God before it was appointed a body upon the earth through seed. The real eternal spirit which God gives His saints had no beginning and has no end and is like unto God! And when we repent (salvation) we keep this spirit in order to always live with Him!! that is why it is called eternal life, it always was and always will be with God! You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, April 7, 2024 We listened to a sermon titled “Supernatural Works”, CD # 1036A, preached by Brother Neal Frisby. In the sermon, Brother Frisby said: If you want Jesus, you can find Him here. I’ll tell you one thing He told me, He said, it’s going to take a real child of God to listen to you and to stay with you. You’ve got to really love God; you’ve got to really want to believe in Him; the talk stops. That’s what Satan don’t like; it’s when you have competence and power to move him around and move him out. The real word of God is worth a treasure. They’ll talk around it, talk about it, get around it, but the real thing from God will tell you the truth, and that’s where Jesus is, when He begins to tell and you hear the truth, the word of God, and there’s a real blessing in it. And so many events, several events, about three I believe, it was, the Lord, and some day, I’ll tell you about them, and He told me, when you see these three events taking place, He told me, just about how close He’s coming in, without telling me the day. He told me how close it was getting upon the earth, for His visitation and for Him taking the people away. And those events, several have come to pass now. There’s one other event that will take place, that shows us, without a doubt, the coming of the Lord, and that’s why I say that He is coming in our generation and He is coming to carry His children away. The age that we live in now is drawing to a close. Even with all the Biblical signs and prophetic signs that He’s giving through prophecy, all of it that’s left now, just about, is for what takes place during the great tribulation, and the church at that time, of Israel and so forth like that, the Hebrews. You see the prophecies of the Gentiles are completing themselves, that is, for the ones that are going to be carried away and meet the Lord. Right now is the time you want to strengthen yourself, you want to allow the Holy Spirit in the inner man, strengthen that power, because it’s going to close suddenly, it’s going to close quickly. It pays to stay in the fire, in the anointing of the Lord, in the power of the Lord, and then He will really bless you. Every 450 years, besides judging in between, and so forth like that, revivals and deliverance, the Lord allowed great judgments to come, almost universal on the land, when it will come. It will come every 450 years that this judgement will come upon the land. At the time that the children of Israel went in captivity, it was judgment on Israel after 450 years. And they were taken by Nebuchadnezzar into Babylon and they were in Babylon and imprisoned in there. And Daniel was with them, the Hebrew children, they worked for the King Nebuchadnezzar at that time. God allowed him to go down there. The Bible said He raised him up to do it because of the sins. The heathen King of Babylon, the great empire at that time, and brought them in there and stayed 70 years in Babylon. And then the Lord allowed them to go home after 70 years’ captivity, 450-year judgment fell upon them at that time. The first was the flood, and so forth, coming up to that. Then after that, Daniel the prophet, writing after they went home, wrote on there, that the Messiah will come, 483 years, in the Daniel’s 70th week, and allots 483 years. We find out in the Bible, the next 450 years, a universal judgment was to fall upon the earth. It fell upon Christ, and He took it from the earth, and took the judgment and the sin away, because He lived 33 years. You take that off, it’s 450 years, judgment hit the earth. It’s exactly on time. Instead of hitting the world, during the Roman empire and Jerusalem, after those 450 years, see the children went home after the captivity. Jesus was to come 483 years later, completed His ministry. And it’s 450 years, judgment was to come, but Jesus was born and He took the judgment off the world or it would have been destroyed at that time because of all the sins, and things were happening in the Roman empire, but it came upon Him, sin came upon Him for you, all the sick, everything, He carried everything away.
Joshua 1: 9: “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” All the days of Moses, the people wouldn’t, hardly listen. No matter what exploit that he performed, it just seemed like they just would not stay with him. And then God, every time, had to bring judgment upon them. He would bring fire, open the ground, fiery serpents upon them, all kinds of things to get them in line for the prophet. And He would talk, He would preach, He would tell them all of these things, but it just seems like they were rebellious, no matter what kind of a miracle that would take place. Then Joshua, Moses anointed him with all the power that he could, and sit him in his place, to take him on in, because God didn’t allow Moses to go in with them. Then the Bible said, as hard as Moses worked all of that time with those children of Israel, one moment they believed him, next moment they didn’t know what to believe in at that time, God did many mighty wonders. And then in the book of Joshua, it said, that the children of Israel, all the days of Joshua, lived for God (Joshua 24: 31). That was the other group that came in. But then you begin to wonder, such a change come. The children looked back and they respected the prophet, for one point. And then if you go to reading, Joshua had the word with him after that. For supernatural wonders, it takes a supernatural God. And it takes a strong faith doing those supernatural wonders. And this generation, at the end of this generation, there’s going to be mighty signs and wonders that we’ve never seen before. And there will be among the elect of God, and so supernatural, that the distant lookers will just be able to look at them. But the word of God will what, and the miraculous, and the supernatural, what will they come to? It will come to the elect of God, and we are approaching these signs. Before that translation takes place, He’s going to give an anointing of faith, an anointing of power that you’ve never seen before, and then, the blessings of God will pour. I’ve always felt, the real elect of God that He calls right at the end of the age, is probably never even been in a church. When God moves at the end of the age, and He gives that powerful move, there will be people, was probably never organized, lot of them, many of those people never been in a church, but they know one thing, the Holy Spirit is telling them, the hour is late, it is your time now. He'll tell them the same He’s told Noah to go on, get in the ark, the rain’s coming. He’ll speak to those people like you’ve never seen before. Something in their heart, each one sitting where he is at, or walking, or doing, or drinking, or whatever he is doing wrong, whatever it is. In his heart, God, all of a sudden, will tell him, time now. And the Holy Spirit, remember it said He calleth them by name. He calleth them, they know His voice. And when He does, that is harvest time, brother, that is really harvest time. And no matter where they are, in the street, He said at the end of the age, there’ll be a compelling force. It will be so powerful a force that it will reach out into the highways where people don’t go to church, out in the hedges where they are off the beaten path from churches and out in the highways and hedges in the beaten paths and deserts, and it said, wilderness, and He’ll pour out water upon them. Amen, wilderness of God, desert of God. The works that Jesus did, as a Messiah, was so outstanding, fantastic, and amazing, that took place there. He said the works that He did, that they will come again at the end of the age, and ye shall do. The Angels are all over the earth, and wherever faith is, they just move in a little closer, you attract them, and you attract the supernatural power of God. And His voices as many waters thundering, and His voices as of a multitude talking at one time, that was inside of Him. And I thought, the elect are in Him, glory to God. How many of you have read that in the Bible, where it was like a multitude when He talked, and His voice was like the sound of many waters crashing when He uttered it out? (Daniel 10: 6; Revelation 1: 15). You can understand what He is saying, though. The power that is coming to the church, and it’s coming upon the earth, that is the thing that God is cutting out for His children, given to His children, such positive and such confidence that you’ll be able to be an overcomer. Otherwise, your overcoming days will be short without it. It is the overcomer that will receive this. And he can overcome against anything. But there’s coming such a confidence, such anointing, such power, that you yourself, when you are alone, feel that power. And I can tell you another thing, eternal life is going to be wonderful, and don’t ever worry about it. You believe the Lord, there is eternity, and there is an eternal life.
I started the sermon: Daniel the prophet, writing after they went home, wrote on there, that the Messiah will come, 483 years, in the Daniel’s 70th week, and allots 483 years. We find out in the Bible, the next 450 years, a universal judgment was to fall upon the earth. It fell upon Christ, and He took it from the earth, and took the judgment and the sin away, because He lived 33 years. You take that off, it’s 450 years, judgment hit the earth. It’s exactly on time. And it’s 450 years, judgment was to come, but Jesus was born and He took the judgment off the world, but it came upon Him, sin came upon Him for you, all the sick, everything, He carried everything away. Daniel 9: 24 – 25: “Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.” There were 7 years for each prophetic week. The 69 prophetic weeks, “seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks”, will be 69 times 7 years, which is 483 years. The Lord Jesus was born 450 years later, after “the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem”. If you were to take 450 years out of the total of 483 years, it shows our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, would live for only 33 years before He was crucified for our sins. He had to live for only 33 years because of the prophecy of Daniel. Daniel 9: 27: “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” The translation will take place somewhere in the midst of the last prophetic week (70 weeks minus 69 weeks), or the last 7 years of this generation. Isaiah 53: 3 – 5: “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” The Lord Jesus took our sins and sicknesses away. Psalm 103: 3: “Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases”. John 1: 29: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” Hebrews 2: 9: “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.” The Lord Jesus was the eternal God in 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.” Before that translation takes place, He’s going to give an anointing of faith, an anointing of power that you’ve never seen before And no matter where they are, in the street, He said at the end of the age, there’ll be a compelling force. It will be so powerful a force that it will reach out into the highways where people don’t go to church, out in the hedges where they are off the beaten path from churches. The works that Jesus did, as a Messiah, was so outstanding, fantastic, and amazing, that took place there. He said the works that He did, that they will come again at the end of the age, and ye shall do. Luke 14: 23: “And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.” John 14: 12: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” Mark 16: 17: “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues”. I’ve always felt, the real elect of God that He calls right at the end of the age, is probably never even been in a church. When God moves at the end of the age, and He gives that powerful move, there will be people, was probably never organized, lot of them, many of those people never been in a church, but they know one thing, the Holy Spirit is telling them, the hour is late, it is your time now. He'll tell them the same He’s told Noah to go on, get in the ark, the rain’s coming. He’ll speak to those people like you’ve never seen before. Something in their heart, each one sitting where he is at, or walking, or doing, or drinking, or whatever he is doing wrong, whatever it is. In his heart, God, all of a sudden, will tell him, time now. No matter the type of life the people that will be coming to salvation at this end of time may have now, or whatever they may be doing wrong, when the Lord talks to their hearts, they will repent and come to salvation. The Lord will let them know He is coming soon. The Lord Jesus spoke to your heart, and that was why you came to salvation. He spoke to your heart to leave the life of sin that you had, and to come to Him. In your heart you went to the Lord and asked for forgiveness of your sins; you became saved; you were born of the Spirit. John 3: 3: “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3: 6 – 8: “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.” And the Holy Spirit, remember it said He calleth them by name. He calleth them, they know His voice. And when He does, that is harvest time, brother, that is really harvest time. John 10: 2 – 4: “But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.” John 10: 27 – 28: “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” The difference now is that they will come in multitudes. It is harvest time, brother, that is really harvest time. And I can tell you another thing, eternal life is going to be wonderful, and don’t ever worry about it. You believe the Lord, there is eternity, and there is an eternal life. Romans 6: 23: “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” It states “the” gift of God is “eternal life” through our Lord Jesus Christ. It means you cannot have a greater gift from God, besides eternal life. It is because the eternal God is giving you part of His life. What is eternal life? It is life that is eternal. The rich man and Lazarus: Luke 16: 19 – 31: “There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 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; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.” Lazarus died, but his life continued somewhere else. When a child of God dies now, he or she goes to the third heaven, paradise (2 Corinthians 12: 1 – 4). The rich man also died, and was buried, but his life also continued somewhere else. “And in hell he lift up his eyes”, for he did not give his heart to the Lord. Luke 23: 39 – 43: “And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” The Lord Jesus told the thief, this day, “shalt thou be with me in paradise”. The life of the thief continued somewhere else, beyond the grave. I read from Scroll # 43: THE ELECT SPIRITS WHICH WERE PART OF GOD, BEFORE THE ELECT BODY WAS CREATED – The real you (the spiritual part) was with God before it was appointed a body upon the earth through seed. There is a fleshly seed and a spiritual seed which was united! The real eternal spirit which God gives His saints had no beginning and has no end and is like unto God! That is why after death our body is changed into the inner immortal spirit, that is why it is called eternal life, it always was and always will be with God! And He breathed it into each of us (Gen. 2: 7) “Behold saith the Lord do ye not know this Scripture? Ye were with Me when the Morning Stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy!” (Job 38: 6,7) Our flesh body came upon earth by birth uniting with His spirit which was always with Him! And when we repent (salvation) we keep this spirit in order to always live with Him!! Read (Isa. 1:9 – Eph. 1:4) (Satan’s seed is a group, also the Lord has created a place for them.)
I continued with the Sermon: John 3: 15: “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” When you repent and come to salvation, the life that you have now, going about your daily life, is eternal because the real you (the spiritual part) was with God before it was appointed a body upon the earth through seed. The real eternal spirit which God gives His saints had no beginning and has no end and is like unto God! And when we repent (salvation) we keep this spirit in order to always live with Him!! that is why it is called eternal life, it always was and always will be with God!
