Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, December 31, 2023 Jesus has a vision for every person that is His, that believe in His word. He has a foreseen plan. He doesn’t just come along, say what I’m going to do with that one tomorrow. Ages of eons of times, your life has been planned. He has a foreseen plan for your life. You are an individual before God: Know your life; you are in the vision of God, foreknown through the ages, each seed, each individual, knows your struggles, knows all about your life, will help you out of each one of them and will surely guide you. The Lord knows about every sparrow. “For I have foreseen all things and every seed that shall come upon the earth, whether bad or whether good”, just like He foreknows if a sparrow falls at all” (Matthew 10: 29). He knows exactly what you need (Matthew 6: 25). He foresees your future as you hear His word. You must listen to His word. He will guide you. Remember, you’ve been a vision, you have been a vision in God’s mind and He will bring that to pass in your life, but it’s going to take faith and trust for you to walk through the vision. But, this what comes in, in providence, you must believe that in your heart. If you have a hard time believing that, you’ll have a struggle and you’ll begin to stagger and you’ll begin to struggle and you’ll get into His plan, evidently by providence. You make it easy, just come right out and say, Lord, you know all things that’s going to come in my life, you know all things that’s going to guide me, and guide me in your plan and lead me. If you do not believe that the eternal God already has a plan for your life, you are going to struggle, you are going to stagger. You believe, individually, that you are in the vision of God. You are predetermined, and predestinated life. You believe it in your heart, then trust. Trust Him all the way through, no matter what the eyes might see, no matter what somebody might say, no matter what the devil tries to do, believe that you are with God and that He foresees you are going to make it through with Him and He is going to come and get you. Believe in your heart that your life is already predetermined by the Lord. Believe “that you are with God”; believe “that He foresees you are going to make it through with Him”; believe that “He is going to come and get you”. Colossians 3: 3 – 4 brings out the same revelation: that you are with God (“your life is hid with Christ in God” – Christ is God, Isaiah 9: 6); that you are going to make it through with Him and that He is going to come and get you (“When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory”). The Lord Jesus cannot, but think about us, and has thought about us from eternity, because we are part of Him. “THE ELECT SPIRITS WHICH WERE PART OF GOD, BEFORE THE ELECT BODY WAS CREATED”. “The real eternal spirit which God gives His saints had no beginning and has no end and is like unto God!” You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, December 31, 2023 We listened to a sermon titled “Directional Vision”, CD # 1024A, preached by Brother Neal Frisby. In the sermon, Brother Frisby said: Directional vision or visions of life; also, you might call it prophetic knowledge, but directional visions. Always stay in confidence, always stay in faith and believing, be positive. He knows exactly what you need. He foresees your future as you hear His word. You must listen to His word. He will guide you. Jesus has a vision for every person that is His, that believe in His word. He has a foreseen plan. He doesn’t just come along, say what I’m going to do with that one tomorrow. Ages of eons of times, your life has been planned. As those that trust the Lord and those who do not trust the Lord. He knows all about that. He has a vision of each individual and that life span, coming from all generations up until the day we live in. He foresees a plan for all people ahead of time. It’s like a vision. He has a foreseen plan for your life. Jesus saw visions, even upon the earth when He was a Son of man, walking Messiah, dwelling among the people. He will break into visions. He will foresee. He has foreknowledge, see days ahead, hours ahead, years ahead, thousands of years ahead, and so forth, even while He was in His ministry to His people. Course, if He relaxed back into His Almighty, bringing that, it’s too much for them to handle at all. He gave many prophecies, in sets of 7s, 7 by 21s, and so forth; prophecies of the end of the age, prophecies of His coming Kingdom, prophecies of His ministry, prophecies of the time, prophecies of His death, and so forth like that. He gave much more than the people really understand, forecasting parables that are prophetic and all of those put together. So, He was just a walking prophetic; He was the word of God, walking that way, forecasting, predicting, telling of things, right in front of their eyes. Remember, you’ve been a vision, you have been a vision in God’s mind and He will bring that to pass in your life, but it’s going to take faith and trust for you to walk through the vision that He has give for individual life. “For I have foreseen all things and every seed that shall come upon the earth, whether bad or whether good”, just like He foreknows if a sparrow falls at all. His creation that comes upon the earth, every flower, every thorn, every weed, whatever it is, every tree, cactus or whatever, He foreknows. So, He foreknows all plans and everything about it. But, this what comes in, in providence, you must believe that in your heart. If you have a hard time believing that, you’ll have a struggle and you’ll begin to stagger and you’ll begin to struggle and you’ll get into His plan, evidently by providence. You make it easy, just come right out and say, Lord, you know all things that’s going to come in my life, you know all things that’s going to guide me, and guide me in your plan and lead me. Everybody on this earth, He knows all about it. In your life, you have to trust, you have to take faith, you have to believe Him. He has a plan for you. He told His disciples, follow me and I will make you fishers of men (Matthew 4: 19). Today, He chooses, but you must act upon His word. He knows at the end of the age in the elect, those that’ll choose to follow Him, will act upon it. You’ll see them in heaven, for He knows all of their names and they’ll be translated. He foretells the drought of fishes (Luke 5: 1 – 11). Launch out; now He foresaw that they would and He said it by faith. If they didn’t launch out or make a step or an act or get right into it or follow through, nothing will happen. And He said launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a drought. You are fixing to catch a big bundle of fish. You say, was He watching to see what was going to happen? No, He was watching all right. But He saw the net full of fish as they were raising it before hand and then He told them to go over here. He was the master Prophet. He foretells the transfiguration (Matthew 16: 28; Matthew 17: 1 – 9). He foretells a fish with a coin in its mouth (Matthew 17: 27). He foretells the raising of Lazarus (John 11: 1 – 44). Our friend Lazarus sleepeth for I foresee him coming back from the dead again. He not only seeing him there, as He raised him back before hand, but He saw him in the Kingdom of God in finality. He foretells of a man bearing a pitcher (Luke 22: 7 – 13). One time He’s going through and He needed a colt. He said go down there and you’ll meet a man in a city there. He said tell him the Lord hath need of it, and just get it and go (Mark 11: 1 – 7). Now we see why each step in life is planned. Visions of your life. All of the Apostles’ lives were predetermined and foreseen. He foretells the scattering of the disciples. He foretold’s them they will smite the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered. Then He tells them again that He will gather them together in Galilee after the resurrection (Mark 14: 27 – 28). He is forecasting. Just look at the parables. How that He will relate to Israel and how He related towards the end of the age in the parables. The Bible said He told them these things, might believe in Him and that they will understand and that they will have more faith. Not only did He do miracles, great and powerful miracles, but He didn’t just leave them alone to the miracles, He went into forecasting prophecies, chapter 24 of Matthew and 21 of Luke, forecasting worldwide events coming at the end of the age, one right after the others, going into the events and we’ve watched each of them come to pass, coming up to the end of the age where most of His will just come like a windstorm, so much of it coming to place at one time so rapidly. Forecasting the twelve tribes will sit down upon thrones, seeing them there already. Seeing His own resurrection, how it was going to work out, the suffering that will be there, it never turned Him back. He went right on through there. He told them exactly what was going to happen. He foreseeing the fall of Lucifer, He said. He also foresaw that prince of this world is cast out at that cross. Darkness upon the earth, and the prince of this world, He said, is cast out, if you will believe that. What a time to have seen Him as the Messiah, but what a time to see Him glorified. Any scenes that you want to see, anything that you want to know about history, evidently at your disposal, be right there for you to see. You want to see the fall, it is in His heart. You may have power to look back upon it and see what happened. He’s going to bring the Bible to you again. If you want to see the resurrection, the crucifixion, evidently, bring it right back to you, because He said it hadn’t even entered into the heart, of things He’s going to reveal. May not be any need for Him to do that; some in their hearts will like to see. Any event in history is well recorded, don’t worry about that. He is the archives of heaven. He foretells the burial (Matthew 26: 6 – 13). He told of His death with the transgressors (Luke 22:37). He hung between two transgressors. One of them was forgiven, the other went on his way. He foresaw the two that were there by predestination. He saw the cross, the suffering and all of it before the foundation of the world, the Bible said, for He was slain before the foundation of the world. That plan was in being before this planet earth had come into being. You are in the vision of God, if you belong to Him. He foresees the second drought of fishes. Cast the net on the right side of the ship, He said (John 21: 3 – 6). Get on the right side is what He’s saying. You wondered about all of these things, the resurrection, the crucifixion, get on the right side. If you understand the words of God, the powers that be, you’ll know to get on the right side and there is where the bounties are. He's got your life planned. He knows all about it, knows about the trials and what happens to you and all these things. Faith in His word, faith in His promises, will guide you all the way. You are in His vision, you better believe it. Then He says, I will come again (John 14: 3). Angel said this same Jesus shall come (Acts 1: 11). Paul predicted it. He said the Lord Himself, and shall descend (1 Thessalonians 4: 16). The foreknowledge, in that the Lord Himself shall descend. And He said this, three times, the Lord is coming quickly (Revelation 22: 7, 12, 20). In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, He shall be here (1 Corinthians 15: 51 -52). Those promises are true. I am the resurrection and the life. You destroy this temple, and I, myself, He said, will raise it again. Personal pronoun, He said I will raise it again. The refusal of the Pharisees, that failed to see that He was the Messiah. When they put Him between the two, but He fooled them, one of them was the elect. The Pharisees numbered Him among the transgressors, like the Bible said, and sold Him out. In other words, they put Him between the transgressors as a fraud, as a criminal, as a false prophet, as a deceiver, as a mad man, as Beelzebub, but the rocks blew out and the grave blew up and here He come. He was numbered as the criminals were numbered. How in the world did the thief on the cross, at that point, know what to say or to do? When you get that close to a man that is anointed, he knew something was there. He knew who He was. He called Him Lord. Remember me, just remember me, that’s all that will get me there. If you’ll just remember me, I’ll be there. He gave His heart to Him. Know your life; you are in the vision of God, foreknown through the ages, each seed, each individual, knows your struggles, knows all about your life, will help you out of each one of them and will surely guide you. You won’t be any good if you didn’t go through any test and trial. He always tries that which He is going to come and get. It’s not any good unless He purges it, unless He tries it and refines it and fires it and brings it right through. You believe, individually, that you are in the vision of God. You are predetermined, and predestinated life. You believe it in your heart, then trust. Trust Him all the way through, no matter what the eyes might see, no matter what somebody might say, no matter what the devil tries to do, believe that you are with God and that He foresees you are going to make it through with Him and He is going to come and get you. Each individual today, you were foreseen by God that stays with me. You follow through and I’ll guarantee you we’ll bump in together in heaven.

I started the sermon: Jesus has a vision for every person that is His, that believe in His word. He has a foreseen plan. He doesn’t just come along, say what I’m going to do with that one tomorrow. Ages of eons of times, your life has been planned. He has a foreseen plan for your life. You are an individual before God: Know your life; you are in the vision of God, foreknown through the ages, each seed, each individual, knows your struggles, knows all about your life, will help you out of each one of them and will surely guide you. The Lord knows about every sparrow. “For I have foreseen all things and every seed that shall come upon the earth, whether bad or whether good”, just like He foreknows if a sparrow falls at all.” Matthew 10: 29: “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.” He knows exactly what you need. He foresees your future as you hear His word. You must listen to His word. He will guide you. Matthew 6: 25: “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?” He hung between two transgressors. One of them was forgiven, the other went on his way. He foresaw the two that were there by predestination. He saw the cross, the suffering and all of it before the foundation of the world, the Bible said, for He was slain before the foundation of the world. That plan was in being before this planet earth had come into being. How in the world did the thief on the cross, at that point, know what to say or to do? When you get that close to a man that is anointed, he knew something was there. He knew who He was. He called Him Lord. Remember me, just remember me, that’s all that will get me there. If you’ll just remember me, I’ll be there. He gave His heart to Him. 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.” What a time to have seen Him as the Messiah, but what a time to see Him glorified. We will get to see the Lord at this end of the age, when He comes for the translation, in a glorified form. Any scenes that you want to see, anything that you want to know about history, evidently at your disposal, be right there for you to see. You want to see the fall, it is in His heart. You may have power to look back upon it and see what happened. He’s going to bring the Bible to you again. If you want to see the discussion between the serpent and Eve in the garden of Eden, the Lord can take you back there. If you want to see the resurrection, the crucifixion, evidently, bring it right back to you, because He said it hadn’t even entered into the heart of things He’s going to reveal. May not be any need for Him to do that; some in their hearts will like to see. If you want to see the crucifixion, how the Roman soldiers pierced the Lord, He can take you back there. Any event in history is well recorded, don’t worry about that. He is the archives of heaven. Remember, you’ve been a vision, you have been a vision in God’s mind and He will bring that to pass in your life, but it’s going to take faith and trust for you to walk through the vision. But, this what comes in, in providence, you must believe that in your heart. If you have a hard time believing that, you’ll have a struggle and you’ll begin to stagger and you’ll begin to struggle and you’ll get into His plan, evidently by providence. You make it easy, just come right out and say, Lord, you know all things that’s going to come in my life, you know all things that’s going to guide me, and guide me in your plan and lead me. If you do not believe that the eternal God already has a plan for your life, you are going to struggle, you are going to stagger. You believe, individually, that you are in the vision of God. You are predetermined, and predestinated life. You believe it in your heart, then trust. Trust Him all the way through, no matter what the eyes might see, no matter what somebody might say, no matter what the devil tries to do, believe that you are with God and that He foresees you are going to make it through with Him and He is going to come and get you. Believe in your heart that your life is already predetermined by the Lord. Believe “that you are with God”; believe “that He foresees you are going to make it through with Him”; believe that “He is going to come and get you”. Colossians 3: 3 – 4 brings out the same revelation: that you are with God (“your life is hid with Christ in God” – Christ is God, Isaiah 9: 6); that you are going to make it through with Him and that He is going to come and get you (“When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory”). Colossians 3: 3 – 4: “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” The Lord Jesus cannot, but think about us, and has thought about us from eternity, because we are part of Him. “THE ELECT SPIRITS WHICH WERE PART OF GOD, BEFORE THE ELECT BODY WAS CREATED”. “The real eternal spirit which God gives His saints had no beginning and has no end and is like unto God!”

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.)
