Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, August 6, 2023 Hebrews 1: 14: “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” There are billions of Angels. Hebrews 12: 22 states Angels are innumerable. Now, ministering spirits coming. All through the Bible, at different times, in the kingdom of Daniel, ministering spirits begin to appear from everywhere. Ministering spirits in different times in the Bible will appear. We find out at the end of the age, some type of ministering spirits He has not released yet will have a duty with us and those are the kind of ministering spirits that’s closest to God. They are associated to flight. And they are associated to the very translation. They are associated, saith the Lord, to the great change, the glorification of the body. Now, that’s close to God. Not only are we going to receive the Lord’s closest Angels in association with the translation, when we get to heaven, we shall be the highest group there. “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) In Matthew 1: 18 – 25, Joseph was told by the Angel of the Lord that what was conceived in Mary was “of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS”. In Luke 1: 26 – 35, Mary was told by Angel Gabriel that “thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.” The Holy Spirit was conceived in the womb of Mary, was born in flesh, and was called Jesus. Thus, Jesus was the Holy Spirit in flesh. Isaiah 9: 6 calls Jesus “The mighty God, The everlasting Father”. The very One that created them come back and looked at them. All roads lead to the Lord Jesus. That little baby; it’s ancient, ancient, ancient, until it goes back into infinite. Isn’t this wonderful? You believe in your heart that Jesus is the eternal One and you believe that Jesus is not just a prophet or just a man or just one personality walking around under God, if you believe that Jesus was and is, like the first Chapter of Revelation, who said He was, is and the One to come, the Almighty is what it says, and you believe that Jesus is eternal, you are the elect seed of God. You believe it in your heart and in your soul and those are faithful words, saith the Lord. You will be blessed. Josephus Oluwatoyin Thomas
Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, August 6, 2023 We listened to a sermon titled “Guiding Light; Part One”, CD # 991, preached by Brother Neal Frisby. In the sermon, Brother Frisby said: Hebrews 1: 14: “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” In the forefront, the final harvest will be done by ministering spirits, guiding lights. Ministering spirits to those that are heirs, in other words, those who’re predestined, those who know God’s word, that believe God word. Somebody says, how in the world, how’s the best way that I can get to heaven? Listen to what God has to say. If you listen to what God has to say, it means doing what God says. It means act upon what the Lord said and then, He makes a way for you. Ministering spirits come among us and supposed to be at the end of the age, more will be released. They’ll really know how to get the job done, how to get the people together, how the prayers are answered, and special miracles and divers signs and wonders will be done among the people. These guiding spirits, ministering spirits, will be working among us. And I feel them at the platform all of the time, just swinging back and forth. There’s a difference, there are personalities, there are spiritual things up here. If you concentrate in faith, you’ll feel them also. If you concentrate in your heart, you’ll know there’re ministering spirits and you’ll feel those ministering spirits, because why, you’re an heir to salvation. They are active helpers and increasing more and more all the time. And as the age closes now, more will be sent, more will come to His people than ever before that we’ve ever seen in the history of the world because they have a job and they have a duty to do. Jesus intends a great harvest now at the end of the age. The Lord has in His heart a great thing coming. He knows what to do. His time now is waiting for those forces, evil forces, to get into their positions. And then, He will move among His people and it’s a chance of a lifetime to receive all things of the Spirit plus the promises. Get involved in it, pray, believe, act and He will work for you. 2 Peter 3: 9: “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” He is not slack concerning His promises. So, it has to be the people are not determined enough. In their heart, they are not enthused enough by the power of faith to hold to those things. Now, ministering spirits coming. All through the Bible, at different times, in the kingdom of Daniel, ministering spirits begin to appear from everywhere. Ministering spirits in different times in the Bible will appear. Ministering spirits around Mary at the birth of the Christ child. We find out, John on Patmos, ministering spirits coming back and forth. We find out at the end of the age, some type of ministering spirits He has not released yet will have a duty with us and those are the kind of ministering spirits that’s closest to God. Those are the type, the others has had great duties, wonderful duties, that they’ve had upon the earth. But these others are right directly with God. They are associated to the ones like the chariot that took Elijah away. They are associated to flight. And they are associated to the very translation. They are associated, saith the Lord, to the great change, the glorification of the body. Now, that’s close to God. Certain Angels, when the Lord was resurrected, the great Capstone Angel blew back the rocks. And some of those young Angels were sitting there. They were associated right next to that choice, chosen by God. They were predestined to be there at that time. And, so today, as the revival reaches on, God intends in His heart for a great shaking, a powerful one, and those that can hold on are His. God is not slack concerning His judgements upon the earth. He loves mercy much more, but it has to come. Ask and ye shall receive. In the net parable, it reveals the ministering spirits, Angels. And the net parable is reaching out to millions. The ministering spirits begin to separate, the ones that go one way and the ones that go the other. Its intent is reaching on out, by the Holy Spirit, to millions, to bring them into the Kingdom of God. As the age closes out, this is our hour. He is reaching out with that net, by the Holy Spirit. Ministering spirits are sent upon the earth and they are directing it, especially during the age of the net, and that means huge movement of the Holy Spirit, because in there, is the Holy Spirit moving to bring His people in. What a harvest. We are coming into that harvest. Then when it gets so far in there, it will start being a quick short work. He knows exactly how to time that. Speaking about the promises, they are forever. Every promise about healing the sick, every promise about what He said He will do, all of the things that He told us, they are forever for us to receive and they will blend right in. When we are changed, how about the promises? That is the final promise. One of the last promises is that He said He will glorify us and He will translate us and that will be forever, eternally in the hand of the Lord. The promises of God are very positive.
I started the sermon: Hebrews 1: 14: “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” It means all Angels of God are ministering spirits to us who are heirs of salvation. Ministering spirits to those that are heirs, in other words, those who’re predestined, those who know God’s word, that believe God word. There are billions of Angels. Hebrews 12: 22 states Angels are innumerable. Now, ministering spirits coming. All through the Bible, at different times, in the kingdom of Daniel, ministering spirits begin to appear from everywhere. Ministering spirits in different times in the Bible will appear. Ministering spirits around Mary at the birth of the Christ child. We find out, John on Patmos, ministering spirits coming back and forth. We find out at the end of the age, some type of ministering spirits He has not released yet will have a duty with us and those are the kind of ministering spirits that’s closest to God. Those are the type, the others has had great duties, wonderful duties, that they’ve had upon the earth. But these others are right directly with God. They are associated to the ones like the chariot that took Elijah away. They are associated to flight. And they are associated to the very translation. They are associated, saith the Lord, to the great change, the glorification of the body. Now, that’s close to God. 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.” The Lord is wonderful in that He will be sending the Angels that are the closest to Him when it is time for the change of our bodies. It shows how important this event is to Him. Also, these are Angels that have never been released before. Not only are we going to receive the Lord’s closest Angels in association with the translation, when we get to heaven, we shall be the highest group there.
Scroll # 154: 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)
We are going to sit with the eternal God on His throne and reign with Him. Revelation 3: 21: “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne”. Revelation 22: 5: “And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.” Matthew 13: 47 – 49: “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just”. They are active helpers and increasing more and more all the time. And as the age closes now, more will be sent, more will come to His people than ever before that we’ve ever seen in the history of the world because they have a job and they have a duty to do. Jesus intends a great harvest now at the end of the age. In the net parable, it reveals the ministering spirits, Angels. And the net parable is reaching out to millions. The ministering spirits begin to separate, the ones that go one way and the ones that go the other. Its intent is reaching on out, by the Holy Spirit, to millions, to bring them into the Kingdom of God. Ministering spirits are sent upon the earth and they are directing it, especially during the age of the net, and that means huge movement of the Holy Spirit, because in there, is the Holy Spirit moving to bring His people in. Speaking about the promises, they are forever. Every promise about healing the sick, every promise about what He said He will do, all of the things that He told us, they are forever for us to receive and they will blend right in. When we are changed, how about the promises? That is the final promise. One of the last promises is that He said He will glorify us and He will translate us and that will be forever, eternally in the hand of the Lord. 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.” In Matthew 1: 18 – 25, Joseph was told by the Angel of the Lord that what was conceived in Mary was “of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS”. In Luke 1: 26 – 35, Mary was told by Angel Gabriel that “thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.” The Holy Spirit was conceived in the womb of Mary, was born in flesh, and was called Jesus. Thus, Jesus was the Holy Spirit in flesh. Isaiah 9: 6 calls Jesus “The mighty God, The everlasting Father”. 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.” John 1: 10: “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. Colossians 1: 16 – 17: “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” Jesus could tell the Jews that before Abraham was, I am. 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.” In the sermon titled “The Revelation In Jesus”, CD # 908, Brother Neal Frisby stated: The very One that created them come back and looked at them. All roads lead to the Lord Jesus. That little baby; it’s ancient, ancient, ancient, until it goes back into infinite. Isn’t this wonderful? We cannot have eternal life unless He is eternal. You believe in your heart that Jesus is the eternal One and you believe that Jesus is not just a prophet or just a man or just one personality walking around under God, if you believe that Jesus was and is, like the first Chapter of Revelation, who said He was, is and the One to come, the Almighty is what it says, and you believe that Jesus is eternal, you are the elect seed of God. You believe it in your heart and in your soul and those are faithful words, saith the Lord.
