Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, June 16, 2024 John 13: 35: “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” For the believer, these signs shall follow them that believe, in the miraculous, but at the same time, all men should know you are my disciples if you love one another. What’s going to attract the last ones that are coming into the body of Christ? A compelling force, saith the Lord, of divine love. That’s the love of the Spirit, and that’s the love of His people. Now, you see what’s going to attract the people at the end of the age, the divine love, the power we have not seen before. And this attraction comes from that, rather than just the miracles. It will come, and that is the compelling force of God’s divine love for the last time on this earth, that He takes His children out of here. You have confidence that you’ve passed from death unto life. It gives real compassion; the sinners are looking for this. And those that God has called will want to come to where there’s compassion, to where the people really care, where the people want to deliver them. You know, there’s no greater love except, God, that a man laid down his life for another, and Jesus did that. There’s no greater love than that. And He forgave all the whole world. But yet, and again, there’s no greater love than someone that will save another soul. And whatever you can, do in your heart to pray, whatever it is to give, or whatever God calls on you to do, to witness, to testify, whatever it is, in your heart, always want to see another soul saved. There’s your love, to see souls saved. That’s what Jesus said, no greater love. Always pray in your heart that the Lord will save another soul. You have no greater love than to see another soul saved. Divine love will cause you to love the whole body of Christ with all of your heart, and to pray for every one of them. Yea, saith the Lord, it will also cause you to love the sinner. Paul, as we understood, he couldn’t wait to pass on over back where he had been before in the third heaven. And he went with perfect love, and when he did, by going in perfect love, it casteth out any fear that Nero or anybody else had of killing him. They said this is the way we are going to kill you, but he didn’t scare him none. They told him you will have no head. That’s what you think, because he already was in heaven. Have no fear if the Lord were to call you before the translation. Whether you are buried, cremated, or thrown into the sea, it makes no difference. The Lord already has a copy of you, and you will be taken by the angels to the third heaven, in paradise. You will be in paradise walking around in your complete self. As we get closer to the coming of the Lord, there is a feeling that the Lord will give to us. We will feel the power of God. There’s something about that, that passes all understanding, that perfect peace in the Lord. We will feel the divine love, the fruits of the Spirit. John saw the redeemed all around the throne, the rainbow. So, he saw it exactly as what he would see when the time revolves for us to be there. He’ll see you in the crowd, you will be right there. If you have true salvation, you have no need of any fear. You will be in heaven. John has already seen you in the crowd, you will be right there. Let us thank our Lord Jesus for His plans for us at this end of the age and for the fact that He has already seen us with Him in heaven. You will be blessed. Josephus Oluwatoyin Thomas
Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, June 16, 2024 We listened to a sermon titled “The Test”, CD # 1074, preached by Brother Neal Frisby In the sermon, Brother Frisby said: When you are enthused in your heart and excited, and believe, now you go through trials, and tests, and all of that, and it’s hard to hide it sometimes, but still yet, you can have that freshness, and that trial will go. It will eventually have to break. It will pull away from you. You can make it just melt like a sun on an iceberg if you stay right with it. there. Where there’s faith, the excitement, you have the newness in the heart, expectation at any moment something can happen. You may see an angel, God may visit you, something can happen in the service, you don’t know what it is, but you’re it. The test: The real believer. Now, revival, blending faith, with divine love, with the word, spells united power, such peace and such divine love. In the future, that’s what’s coming for the last revival. That’s what’s coming to the elect, such peace with it. There’s coming a bond, and that is divine love, with such power, and there’ll be events on earth to cause this too as He blends it in with the bride. But when that comes, then Satan can’t stop divine love. Everybody has a little divine love, but I’m talking about something that goes beyond human comprehension. It will be in His elect from the Almighty. It will be the Holy Spirit in such a way it will be spectacular to the ones that are living at that time. Just the ordinary divine love and compassion will be there, but it’ll be super. Out in the world it will grow worse, just the opposite of that. But in the church, and in the real elect body, there is where the difference is going to be. And when it mixes with faith, and the power exploits of miracles, it is going to be a sight to see how the people operate under that. Then, Satan can’t stop that last revival. It is swept away from this earth before there’s any chance of him to bring any sour into it, to bring any kind of hate into it. It’s swept away from this earth. Now, the elect are not where they should be, and there is a challenge to the body of Jesus Christ. It does not have the divine love like it should have, but it’s coming, and it’ll just pour over them like a fog. And that will sweep in and out, till it finally settles on her like a dove, and the dove of love, and it’ll settle on the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ, the real ones that have faith in the heart, the ones that believe God. In John 13: 35, By this shall all men know, it said, all men know that ye are my disciples if you have love one for another. That’s the only way they’re going to know it. In Galatians 5: 22 – 23, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; all that’s yours. All of that fruit yours. That sounds like a well-heeled running body. Should all men know, it’ll be only one way, that will be the sign. For the believer, these signs shall follow them that believe, in the miraculous, but at the same time, all men should know you are my disciples if you love one another. In the world, the Bible said at the end of the age, the love of many should vanish, that once had it. The love of many should vanish and it will wax worse and worse, as just before Jesus comes, turning on one another. What’s going to attract the last ones that are coming into the body of Christ? A compelling force, saith the Lord, of divine love. That’s the love of the Spirit, and that’s the love of His people. We’ve always read about, at the end of the age, in the highways and hedges, great compassion to go out, great compassion to consider those people. The Lord Himself, to go get those sinners. And it said, a strong, at the last third pull, the power, He said, shall be a compelling force, go out and invite them in. With a compelling force, here He says, of divine love and Spirit. Now, you see what’s going to attract the people at the end of the age, the divine love, the power we have not seen before. And this attraction comes from that, rather than just the miracles. Where before it was just the miracles, and just faith coming to see what they can get, and all of that. They will still want to get things. God will still be performing miracles, but this time, there’s an ingredient, it was not so in that first one. It will come, and that is the compelling force of God’s divine love for the last time on this earth, that He takes His children out of here. A compelling force, that’s what’s going to attract the lost ones that come to the ministry, and the last ones that come to God. It will unite and give power. It is a seal of confidence and revelation of God’s true love for His people. When you correct, you correct people with divine love, but if divine love don’t work, then we have the authority of the Scriptures. It gives real compassion, and it works in a fantastic manner upon the soul. You have confidence that you’ve passed from death unto life. It gives real compassion; the sinners are looking for this. There’s so much hate, and so much out in the world, and it is getting so bad, that they can’t even stand it themselves, and they are wondering. And those that God has called will want to come to where there’s compassion, to where the people really care, where the people want to deliver them. Saith the Lord, it cannot preach, to be in any different way to preach it than this, cannot be any way to preach it that what He has given it here. In some, sometimes, in this revival, faith sometimes fails some, but divine love, Paul said, will never fail. It will hold you until your faith gets back together where it should be. Faith is failed in some, but divine love will not fail. 1 Corinthians, that we have in Chapter 13: “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity”. Now, why did he use divine love, which is what it means. Charity, he used the word charity, because you just don’t stand around and talk about it. So, he put the word charity, which means works follows with it. It’s not that you talk about it, it’s a deed. It means divine love, but he put the word charity, that takes in both of it, divine love and works that follow with it. He said I can do all of those things, tongues of angels and men, and so forth like that. And I have become, but if I do not have this charity, of divine love, I’ve become as a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. In other words, I have just become a loud noise, I’ve lost it all. And one time, in the Scriptures, we find out, coming from what he said, charity, then the Lord Jesus was telling Peter, said, and Peter, feed my sheep. Peter said, Lord, he says, you know that I love you, Lord. And His answer to him was, feed my sheep. Don’t keep telling me, and three times the Lord repeated that. He said, Lord, you know I love you. But He said, you love me when you feed my sheep. When you tell them about me, when you minister to them. You know, there’s no greater love except, God, that a man laid down his life for another, and Jesus did that. There’s no greater love than that. And He forgave all the whole world, so forth like that. But yet, and again, there’s no greater love than someone that will save another soul, is what Jesus was telling Peter. The Lord Jesus would not accept that, when he kept saying to the Lord Jesus, and he said, Lord, you know I love you. The Lord would not accept that. He kept saying feed my sheep. Do the act, don’t do any talking. Peter, just get up and do it. If the word of God is preached right, it shows that the human nature is entirely wrong all together, and that Satan is completely out of the picture. Be sure, the hate will find you. In the Bible, if it gathers in such a way, now, there’s bad feelings, ill feelings, it’s not real true down in the heart faith like Cain had, killed his brother, it may not get like that. But if it stays in there, and harbors, and finds a resting place, a nesting place, and it just keeps staying in there for long periods of time, then it will poison the soul. Then diseases can come, but not through divine love, they won’t break through there; that’s a bond. Now, a lot of people say that maybe Jesus was sick. No, we have no record. We have record He was tired, because He came as a Messiah in a physical body, got into a physical body. Therefore, He allowed the laws of the body to be with Him, to show the people, example to the disciples, the Bible even reads it that way. But no sickness that we know of, of any kind. He was grieved, sure, and He wept, and so forth like that, because of what the people did, but His great divine love carried Him on His mission, all the way through, cutting through all kinds of demon powers. He didn’t even call on the twelve legions of angels or any type of angels, to call on to stop. He stopped them with the word. He cut right through there, and He went clear through to the cross, back out again, for us. We can do likewise with the power of God upon us; we cut right straight through there. But what carried Him through was not only His faith, the Lord said, but the part called divine love that overshadowed Him. It was all over Him. In fact, the world that He created, the Bible said, rejected Him as the Messiah. Yet, He carried that mission clear through there. They say, well, it didn’t look like divine love when He took a whip up there in that Temple, and run them people out of there or He turned on those Pharisees. Yes, it was too. He was trying to save their souls from destruction that finally came upon them. It was in another way; it was righteousness that came. He knows how to judge; He knows what He was doing too. But, nevertheless, the divine love on Him, because in a moment, without that divine love, if He was like the disciples, say, Lord, they didn’t like that message over there, they didn’t like them miracles down in that town, like Elijah, let’s just call fire, disintegrate on that bunch down there, and the Lord said, I’m here on a mission of grace, we will have time for that later. And He told them that He come to save men, not to just set fire on things right then. So, any moment, without that divine love, He’d agree with His disciples and there’ll be nothing left there, but smoke. But that great divine, compassion, see, He’s teaching us, how, what you really can do with faith and power and divine love. Sometimes you may say, and even in your life, you may have done a good favor to somebody, you may have done some real, different favors for somebody, help somebody, and they may not really appreciate it all, they might just turn around and talk against you. You never know. But let me tell you something, the law of average will catch up with you. You keep doing favors, you keep doing good things, where God leads you. And the law of average is, you’ll have more of the people like it than the ones that don’t like it, because it is discouraging, sometimes. You can do something, you can do a great favor, you go out of your way, you can do anything that you want to, and sometimes, the people act indifferent, so forth like that. But you just keep right on, and when you do, you will find there’ll be more that love you for it, more that care for you, and will pray for you, than the others that try to discourage. Because see, if they can discourage you, then, you’ll just quit, not do anything. But divine love, now your faith starts failing you when you run into different obstacles, just bypass, ignore the world. Divine love is the bond of the real elect. The test of the true believer, what is it? Divine love; there’s the test. Now love is not just talk. It’s a deed. Paul said charity, it is right there. And whatever you can, do in your heart to pray, whatever it is to give, or whatever God calls on you to do, to witness, to testify, whatever it is, in your heart, always want to see another soul saved. There’s your love, to see souls saved. That’s what Jesus said, no greater love. If you have divine love, it will rest on you, mistreatment or not. You may have your times up and down, but it will be there. You pray, you ask God to bide with you, never mind about what people do, hold onto it, it will lead you right before the throne, saith the Lord. What’s missing? We have the miraculous every day. But this divine love, all of these things are there, but, this is coming to bring that revival too, together. It is what’s going to unite that revival with those greater miracles that are coming, with the greater peace and compassion that’s coming. I mean, God’s going to liberate His saints like they’ve never liberated before. You know divine love is working when you can love someone that you don’t like or you can love your enemies. Satan can stop almost anything, but he cannot stop divine love. Harvest time is coming, so is real compassion for souls. No greater love than to save the lost. Why is there no greater revival than what we are having now? And the Holy Spirit wrote, because there’s no greater divine love. When that begins to come, in the next revival, I can tell you one thing, we’re going to move, and it will be freedom for the church, and it has a feeling to it. You’ll feel the power of God. There’s something about that, that passes all understanding, that perfect peace in the Lord. When you get it together, it’s like those fruits of the Spirit, all passing through. It is just wonderful. You combine that with the power of miracles, and the signs, and the wonders, and the prophecies, and the revelations of the Lord, you get all that together, and I’ll tell you what, it’s not going to be stopped. The Bible says, this is the message from the beginning, from the very beginning, this is the message, the Lord says in John, that you love one another. And, where there is love, there is no fear that torments, because love drives out the fear of torment, that is what it says. Fear cannot abide, not extreme fear nor tormenting type of fear. You may have some that corrects you, that you don’t get in mistakes, so forth like that, the bodily, but there is no spirit from Satan that will come to torment you. Perfect love casteth out all fear. Paul, as we understood, he couldn’t wait to pass on over back where he had been before in the third heaven, where he had went through there. He was taken in a vision to heaven, saw wonderful things, some things that he said he could not lawfully write nor say anything about. And he did. It’s only couched in a few words some of the things that he saw. And he said, I’d rather remain there, but it’s more needful that I stay upon this earth. So, with that perfect love, all men forsake me, Paul said. All men turn aback, only a few. At that time, the great Apostle, he went right straight to where his destination, providence, was, in destiny. And he went with perfect love, and when he did, by going in perfect love, it casteth out any fear that Nero or anybody else had of killing him. They said this is the way we are going to kill you, but he didn’t scare him none. They told him you will have no head. That’s what you think, because he already was in heaven. I think and believe in the state that he was to appear again, because he never could understand whether he was in body or spirit. He actually saw himself after what had occurred on the block. But he saw, peradventure, before hand; he was carried away. You say, did he get to see advance where he went after his death? That’s exactly right. You say, well, John, standing on Patmos, 2,000 years, the vail rolled back, in prophecy. John the beloved, is what wrote, with Jesus, the book of Revelations, and he saw the redeemed all around the throne, the rainbow. He looked around later and he saw all the Hebrews sealed. Then he looked around, he saw all those that came through great tribulation. He looked right at them, the redeemed, these are they that came through great tribulation. He also saw the other group of redemption around the rainbow. And he saw many other things, the coming of the Lord, and all of these things. So, he saw it exactly as what he would see when the time revolves for us to be there. He’ll see you in the crowd, you will be right there. He’s done see it, done wrote it in the Bible. He done saw the Holy City and the new heaven just exactly as we are going to see it when we get there. He was 2,000 years in advance, went into the vision of the Lord, and saw it perfectly as what it’s going to be. We know that we have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. The test, mixed with faith and the word of God, divine love. That’ll put those wings out there, that’ll take on that flight as we sit in heavenly places with Christ. Let that divine love, and those angels are going to bring it on with them. Those angels are so full of love, and when they turn on those lights in them by you, as the age closes out, the more love is coming off them. More divine love is coming off the Holy Spirit. It will cause you to love the whole body of Christ with all of your heart, and to pray for every one of them. Yea, saith the Lord, it will also cause you to love the sinner, no matter if he is chief, no matter if he is small, no matter if he is large, sinner, you will love him. No matter his color, no matter his race or nationality, no matter he is rich or poor, or who he is, it will cause you to love those that are sinners that yet shall come. That’s great love. You remember Jesus, those men killing Him, and yes, the great love was right there.
I started the sermon: John 13: 35: “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” That’s the only way they’re going to know it. Galatians 5: 22 – 23: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” All of that fruit yours. For the believer, these signs shall follow them that believe, in the miraculous, but at the same time, all men should know you are my disciples if you love one another. What’s going to attract the last ones that are coming into the body of Christ? A compelling force, saith the Lord, of divine love. That’s the love of the Spirit, and that’s the love of His people. Now, you see what’s going to attract the people at the end of the age, the divine love, the power we have not seen before. And this attraction comes from that, rather than just the miracles. It will come, and that is the compelling force of God’s divine love for the last time on this earth, that He takes His children out of here. You have confidence that you’ve passed from death unto life. It gives real compassion; the sinners are looking for this. And those that God has called will want to come to where there’s compassion, to where the people really care, where the people want to deliver them. You know, there’s no greater love except, God, that a man laid down his life for another, and Jesus did that. There’s no greater love than that. And He forgave all the whole world. But yet, and again, there’s no greater love than someone that will save another soul. And whatever you can, do in your heart to pray, whatever it is to give, or whatever God calls on you to do, to witness, to testify, whatever it is, in your heart, always want to see another soul saved. There’s your love, to see souls saved. That’s what Jesus said, no greater love. Always pray in your heart that the Lord will save another soul. You have no greater love than to see another soul saved. Divine love will cause you to love the whole body of Christ with all of your heart, and to pray for every one of them. Yea, saith the Lord, it will also cause you to love the sinner. Paul, as we understood, he couldn’t wait to pass on over back where he had been before in the third heaven. And he went with perfect love, and when he did, by going in perfect love, it casteth out any fear that Nero or anybody else had of killing him. They said this is the way we are going to kill you, but he didn’t scare him none. They told him, you will have no head. That’s what you think, because he already was in heaven. Have no fear if the Lord were to call you before the translation. Whether you are buried, cremated, or thrown into the sea, it makes no difference. The Lord already has a copy of you, and you will be taken by the angels to the third heaven, in paradise. You will be in paradise walking around in your complete self. I read from Scroll # 1:
GODS NEXT MOVE – Creates out side parts to human body! This is happening in my Ministry now. A prophetic anointing comes to make ready the Bride! And to understand Daniel and Revelation, as God speaks it through His prophets. Also, a new anointing will bring calm and rest on the chosen Elect in this crisis time. They will never feel anything quite like this. Perfect Saints. (Praise Him!)
As we get closer to the coming of the Lord, there is a feeling that the Lord will give to us. We will feel the power of God. There’s something about that, that passes all understanding, that perfect peace in the Lord. We will feel the divine love, the fruits of the Spirit. John saw the redeemed all around the throne, the rainbow. So, he saw it exactly as what he would see when the time revolves for us to be there. He’ll see you in the crowd, you will be right there. If you have true salvation, you have no need of any fear. You will be in heaven. John has already seen you in the crowd, you will be right there. Let us thank our Lord Jesus for His plans for us at this end of the age and for the fact that He has already seen us with Him in heaven.
